This week on the Circle 31 Podcast, Melissa introduces us to someone very close to her heart — her best friend, Denise Hammond. After running a vibrant farm camp for over 16 years, Denise made the difficult decision to retire. But what she didn’t expect was the identity crisis, depression, and loneliness that followed.
