We are so stuck in our heads and in everything else that we can't allow ourselves to feel. I think do the work is a misnomer. I say surrender to yourself. Don't do so much work. Just be.
Melissa’s story reads like a movie. Top of her class, six-figure job, and then suddenly spiraling into drug trafficking, trauma-fueled chaos, and near-death experiences. But what came next was even more shocking: a radical awakening, a total rebirth, and a path to becoming one of today’s most powerful trauma healers.
In this episode, we go deep. Melissa shares how unresolved trauma shaped her decisions, how she built and burned down a global healing business, and why she believes real transformation happens in the body, not the mind.
Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, burnout, or simply searching for your own version of peace, this conversation will change the way you see your story.
