Welcome to Do Better Together, Episode 2. In this heartfelt and insightful conversation, I sit down with Melissa Franzen—a mom, counselor, and educator—to talk about mental health, the ripple effect, and the courage to keep trying. Melissa shares her journey from seventh-grade clarity to earning her PhD, how she helps shape future counselors, and what it means to face fear without chasing perfection.
We explore:
The real meaning of “just trying”
Why perfection is failing us
How the ripple effect shapes lives
Practical mental health tools like polyvagal theory
What “doing better” actually looks like in everyday life
This one is raw, real, and full of moments that will stick with you.
