About this episode
In this special crossover episode, The Mama’s Den links up with The Gin & Juice Podcast —hosted by powerhouse sisters and moms, Mel Goolsby and Melissa Fredericks . Together, we dive into how these two turned life’s curveballs into purpose and profit. After being laid off on maternity leave 2022, Mel built a thriving social media platform called "I'm Not A Lawyer, But" while Melissa stood beside her—both in sisterhood and entrepreneurship—as they launched their hit podcast, Gin & Juice. At a time when so many are navigating job loss and reinvention, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the end of one chapter is the spark for a new beginning. Tune in for real talk, laughter, and the kind of inspiration every mama (and dreamer) needs in 2025. This episode marks PART 2 of The Mama's Den x Gin & Juice mashup .
