In today’s episode, Melissa shares her incredible journey through her breast cancer diagnoses, the challenges she faced, and the lessons she learned along the way.

Melissa highlights the importance of knowing our bodies. Her breast cancer diagnosis at 24 was a wake-up call, underscoring the value of self-exams and understanding what's normal. Approaching health with curiosity, not fear, helps us notice changes and take proactive steps.

She discusses how stored emotions, particularly anger, can manifest in physical ailments. Melissa encourages us to honor our feelings and process them rather than suppressing them. By allowing ourselves to feel and express our emotions, we can prevent them from becoming trapped in our bodies, which can lead to health issues down the line. 

After her experiences with cancer, Melissa became passionate about exploring holistic healing methods. She highlights the importance of integrating both conventional and alternative therapies for a more comprehensive approach to health. From dietary changes to emotional support and environmental adjustments, she believes that we have the power to influence our health positively. It's all about finding what works best for us as individuals. 

Melissa's story is not only inspiring but also filled with practical advice that can help us all lead healthier, more balanced lives. Tune in now!
