Transformative Journeys: Overcoming Struggles

Why do the most successful people swear by meditation, and how can you start if your mind never stops racing? Melissa Wood-Tepperberg reveals how she went from taking Adderall and living in constant anxiety to becoming one of the most trusted voices in wellness. We explore the science behind meditation's transformative power while Melissa demonstrates her exact morning practice that grounds her daily. Learn why perfectionism is a trauma response, how to catch anxiety spirals before they consume you, and why five minutes of intentional breathing can change your entire day's trajectory.
