This week on Mom-Life, Sonya sits down with Mel—a mom of three, military wife, entrepreneur, aesthetician, and travel advisor—who shares what life really looks like behind the scenes of motherhood.

Mel opens up about:

 Navigating postpartum depression
 Raising three kids while building two careers
 The challenges of military deployments and parenting solo
 Processing miscarriage and finding healing through therapy
 Why moms need to talk more about hormones, mental health, and the hard parts of motherhood
 Finding humor in the chaos of baseball, toddlers, and everyday mom moments

This episode is equal parts laughter, honesty, and healing—and a reminder that even in survival mode, moms are stronger than they know.
