Her book goes through how she turned a harrowing journey of childhood trauma, emotional detachment, and self-doubt into a life filled with purpose, passion, and self-discovery. 

On her social channels, Melissa shares her experiences of overcoming unimaginable hardships, including surviving sexual abuse, navigating a tumultuous early adulthood, and finding healing through plant medicine. 

Her mission is to guide others in embracing their true selves and unlocking their full potential.

Here are some of the things we talked about on today’s show:

·      Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.

·      Inner child work is essential for true healing.
