In this episode of Waking Up with Melissa, I talk about my one-year sabbatical and 10 things that transformed my life. I also share about how I went sober and became a full-time devotee of yoga, meditation, and plant-based wellness, which transformed my mind and spirit. Tune in to this episode and explore the power of self-awareness and personal transformation.

Words to live by:

“We forget that nature is God. Nature is in perfect harmony and a true reflection of who we are.”

“Remind yourself that going inward and being in our seclusion is a vital part of the growth process. The same way the seed needs to plant itself in the dark soil to lay its roots, is the same way we’re being asked to travel deep within our being. The deeper the roots, the taller we grow.”
