I filled grocery bags, played the drums in an all-girl heavy metal thrash band, sold lottery tickets, got a Master’s degree in counseling psychology, worked in a psychiatric emergency room, led various non-profit events, and ran group therapy. I settled in corporate America as a Domestic Operations Manager for just shy of 20 years in a profession that had nothing to do with my degree, traveling the country in limousines, airplanes and did a lot of fine dining.  Sounds important, right? Or dysfunctional, you pick. Nothing could prepare me to watch my Mother die and suffer for eight months from ovarian cancer. No job, no fancy degree, no experience. Like me, this book is eclectic.  I call it a memoir/ self-help. My goal is to keep the promise that I made to my Mom, one late night in her hospital room while she was suffering yet another complication of the shit diagnosis of cancer.You will learn what my family learned the hard way while being by my Mother’s side the entire time.  All of it.  The mistakes, the emotion, false hope, the waits, and the love we all shared as a family unit at the most heartbreaking time of my life.   Each chapter represents every month from diagnosis to death, and lessons and tips to help you advocate for your loved ones through example, find your voice, and understand your rights in a very complicated, fucked up, and imperfect healthcare system.-Connect with Melissa!Website: https://www.melissamullamphy.com/Book Not In Vain, A promise kept: https://www.amazon.com/Vain-Promise-Kept-Melissa-Mullamphy/dp/1734802634If you’re looking for a team to help you with your podcast, Pod2Go can help you!

After struggling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, unable to participate in traditional IUI or IVF methods, she was able to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle.Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Dissatisfied with the way reproductive endocrinology (REI) medicine handles common infertility issues, Erica is determined to disrupt the entire reproductive medical system. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments.Connect with Erica!Website: https://ericahoke.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/infertilityempoweredInstagram: https://instagram.com/infertilemomof4Free Resources found on Website:Consultation CallFertility ChecklistBook: Infertility Success - Stories of Help and Hope For Your Journeyhttps://www.amazon.com/Infertility-Success-Stories-Help-Journey-ebook/dp/B09LTF9TLCIf you’re looking for a team to help you with your podcast, Pod2Go can help you!

I had several other clinical pharmacist positions and have seen patients popping so many pills while getting sicker and more frustrated. After almost 20 years in conventional medicine, I have grown confident there is another way.  For this reason, I embarked on a journey to gain knowledge in the field of Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition. I am passionate about empowering people to take control of their lives, starting with their health. As your partner in this journey, I will dig deep to understand the underlying cause of your concerns, instead of merely alleviating your symptoms.
