Guest Bio- 

 

As a post-adoption support specialist and Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner, Melissa Corkum has helped hundreds of families shift to a brain-based view of behaviors so they can laugh more and yell less. She's a mom to six kids by both birth and adoption. They've taught her a lot about what creates thriving parent-child relationships...and what doesn't. You can find her de-stressing at the end of every day by crunching on the half-popped kernels at the bottom of the popcorn bowl and binging something on Netflix.
