Shownotes

Wellness entrepreneur Melissa Wood opens up about her journey from self-criticism, anxiety, and perfectionism to finding peace through self-acceptance. She shares how motherhood and hitting rock bottom finally forced her to begin healing her relationship with herself.

From over-exercising + body image struggles to asking for help and learning to love herself, Melissa's story is a powerful reminder that true transformation begins when you stop running from yourself and start listening within.
