- In the trenches
In the latest podcast Melinda referred to herself as a partner in the trenches. I have found that to be true. I found her podcast. A little less than a year ago just before the rainbow community impacted my family. It was good to know someone understood so well how I was feeling and to hear stories of hope and transformation for everyone Thank you Melinda!
