Melanie Dale is a minivan mama and total weirdo who stinks at small talk.

Her laugh is a combination honk-snort, and it's so bad that people have moved away from her in the movie theater. She adores sci-fi and superheroes and is terrified of Pinterest.

Author of Women Are Scary: The Totally Awkward Adventure of Finding Mom Friends and It's Not Fair: Learning to Love the Life You Didn't Choose, she's also a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, and her essays are featured in their book, The Magic of Motherhood.

She's a panelist for MomsEveryday TV, an advocate for Children's HopeChest, and a speaker for churches, conferences, and events across the country.

Living in the Atlanta area, she enjoys recording her podcast, Lighten Up with Melanie Dale, blogging at Unexpected.org, and raising her three kids from three different continents.

Melanie is giving away a FREE 7-day guide to loving your life! Come on over to www.annieleigh.com to grab all the links and free stuff from the show!
