From growing up in a dysfunctional household to battling eating disorders and addiction in her early twenties, Melissa shares her journey of healing and self-discovery. After hitting rock bottom, she found her path through meditation, mindful movement, and a deep connection to her inner self.

What makes this conversation special is Melissa’s raw honesty about her ongoing journey – from navigating business challenges to continuing to unmask layers of herself while building a global wellness empire. Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about external achievements, but about finding true alignment with yourself.
