Do You Know How to Overcome Fear or Challenges

When Melony Brown was two years old, she had a significant stroke. She did not choose an overcoming attitude as a child, but her parents instilled it in her. They did not allow her to use lack of coordination, left-sided weakness, or balance issues as an excuse. 

Melony is an author, speaker, and host of the Challenges Won't Stop Me podcast. Fighting to overcome life's challenges and thriving is the message she lives by and shares with her audience. 

Decades of neurological struggles and brain surgery tried to stop her, but she chose to fight to overcome them instead. Learning everything those challenges were meant to teach her and grow in her, Melony desires to encourage, inspire, and motivate women to fight to overcome the challenges intersecting their paths. 

With God guiding the way and a backpack filled with your essential gear, you are primed and ready to overcome any challenge that dares to cross your path. It is time to…..JOURNEY ON!

Melony shares several stories including an Auschwitz survivor and a young girl who was kidnapped and sex trafficked. After escaping, she had her tattoo removed which branded her as a 'slave'. She started a business helping other women remove these memory scars including tattoos from prison, gang membership, and abuse. You are going to enjoy Melony's interview:

On her podcast, she has interviewed over 135 courageous women who fought to overcome a wide range of challenges.
