​

Life can throw us curveballs when we least expect it. Major life changes like divorce, single parenthood, caring for loved ones with health challenges - these can knock us off course and leave us feeling lost. The art of pushing through even the most difficult seasons can become a skill of perseverance that many of our ancestors used to push through and not give up against unimaginable odds. This is relatable to anyone, regardless of background or ethnicity. Life can come at you fast.

Melissa Squirewell has experienced this even as a woman of strong Christian faith and has endured her share of trials, including divorce, single motherhood, and simply rebuilding her life. But she has emerged even stronger, turning her pain into purpose. Though not a licensed counselor, Melissa now serves as a life experience support person, drawing from her own journey to encourage others facing similar storms. Melissa shares the hard-won wisdom she's gained along the way on her website and social channels; she speaks candidly about the challenges of single parenthood and caring for loved ones and believes in a wellness check for any she thinks could use emotional and mental health support during their struggles. Melissa is transparent about her lowest moments when she clung to her faith and belief in Jesus to keep going.

Melissa's life is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. When we feel like we can't go on, she urges us to dig deep within ourselves. Often, we are far stronger than we know. Melissa encourages women to see setbacks as opportunities for growth. With faith as an anchor, we can emerge wiser and more compassionate. If you're going through a major life transition, know that you are not alone. Connect with others like Melissa who have been there. Draw daily strength from prayer and scripture. Give yourself grace on the hardest days. Melissa's life shows that with God's help, better days always lie ahead. You have everything you need inside to push through.
