Mending Families is hosted by Melissa Pemberton and she brings you weekly content that is a mix of trauma aware interviews, parenting tips for those caring for kids from adversity, and stories from people just like you as they share their beautiful messy moments. Melissa hopes that when you listen each week, you will feel encouraged, inspired and take a little something away to help you and your family move from broken to mended.

On today’s episode, Robyn talks about her healing journey and how she went from being a behavioral analyst to now a self-compassion coach on her path to being certified as a Reiki practitioner. She goes back to share about her childhood trauma, an unhealthy marriage, and how she got to where she is today. From hiring her own nutrition coach and career coach, to now coaching others using self-compassion, breathwork, energy, and Reiki she loves helping others find their way through healing.
