Melissa Unfiltered
Melissa Unfiltered - a podcast where nothing is off limits. As a Mom with three adopted kids, I dive into foster care system failures, realities of Mom life, homeschooling, sexual abuse cover ups, domestic violence and any issues that get me fired up each week.
My perspective is unfiltered, fearless, and usually different from the mainstream narrative.
Join me as I question and expose our cultures “accepted” truths, shine a light on the uncomfortable, and explore topics through a lens that’s without boundaries and uniquely mine.
