Trading Shame for Liberation
Description
In this raw and powerful episode, Melissa peels back the layers of internalized shame—especially the kind instilled by religious systems—and reveals the alchemy of turning it into liberation. She speaks candidly about her own journey with metaphysical gifts, neurodivergence, sexuality, money, and mental health, and how owning what was once hidden becomes a portal to personal power, connection, and healing. Whether you've struggled with speaking your truth or have felt silenced by shame, this conversation is your permission slip to step into the light and be fully seen.
