Introduction

For years, Melissa Carter built a career telling stories that mattered — from award-winning radio and podcasting to national media platforms and live interviews with voices from across the country.

Today, through her memoir Facing Inward and Facing Inward: The Podcast, Melissa explores the deeply human side of healthcare, healing, resilience, and advocacy.

Her work creates space for honest conversations between patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals — conversations that remind us none of us are alone in our struggles.
