A gravestone holds a name and two dates — but it can’t hold a life.

In this episode, Melissa returns to the hilltop cemetery where her mother-in-law is buried and reflects on the moment she realized a truth that changed everything:

stories must be spoken, remembered, and passed on, or they risk being lost.

Through tender memories of late-night conversations, the weight of being the oldest daughter, and the hidden wounds women carry across generations, Melissa weaves a powerful message about choice, healing, and legacy. She shares how her mother-in-law’s stories helped her reshape her own childhood and choose which threads to carry forward — and which ones to finally release.

This episode includes a gentle guided reflection to help you explore your own inherited stories and discover the ones you feel called to weave with intention.

If you’ve ever wondered what t keep, what to let go, or how the women before you shaped the woman you are becoming, this episode will speak to your heart.

Pull up a chair — the circle is waiting for you.
