In today's episode we have Melissa Monte, she had a pretty normal life up until her teenage years. That's when her life began to take a downward spiral; raped in high school, her close friend committed suicide, her father died, she later found herself in a relationship with a sociopath. Her life could've easily made its way into a reality tv show.

Thankfully after hitting rock bottom, through making small changes after small changes, seeking out mentors and having a life changing realization - not to blame others for her current situation "her current situation is solely her responsibility" she was able to climb back up. Melissa today is an influential and thought -provoking explorer of mindset shifts and modern mindfulness.

On her popular podcast "Mind Love," she discusses from mindset shifts to modern mindfulness through raw stories, personal experience and inspiring interviews.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why blaming others never gets you anywhere
• Slow and small changes make a difference
• Denying a problem is never the solution 
• Support group and mentors are key to success
• and much more!!!!
