The question is, can we build a profitable business around a highly niched concept?
In this episode, post-adoption support specialist and Nurture to Convert Society member, Melissa Corkum shares how going all-in on her niche actually super-sized her business.
“When we went all-in on our niche, everything got easier.”

Guest Bio-
As a post-adoption support specialist and Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner, Melissa Corkum has helped hundreds of families shift to a brain-based view of behaviors so they can laugh more and yell less. She’s a mom to six kids by both birth and adoption. They’ve taught her a lot about what creates thriving parent-child relationships…and what doesn’t. You can find her de-stressing at the end of every day by crunching on the half-popped kernels at the bottom of the popcorn bowl and binging something on Netflix.
