If you’ve ever felt lost, this unforgettable conversation will help you come home to yourself.
This episode will change how you think about your past, your purpose, and what’s possible for your future.
Because if you’ve been carrying pain, guilt, or questions you can’t quite name, this is the conversation that helps you finally let go of all that.
Today, Mel sits down with singer-songwriter Mon Rovîa, whose breathtaking journey from war-torn Liberia, where he narrowly escaped becoming a child soldier, to the global stage will stop you in your tracks.
But this isn’t just about his story—it’s about what his story will awaken in you.
Adopted and raised in the U.S., Mon spent years trying to outrun his trauma.
What followed was guilt, despair and a deep feeling of not belonging anywhere.
Until he realized he had a choice: He could stay stuck in suffering or turn his pain into power.
His answer came through music, and what he’s created is reaching millions around the world. In fact, he's one of Mel's favorite artists.
But this isn’t just about Mon’s voice. It’s about what his story inspires in you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-How to stop running from your past, and start turning it into purpose
-Why guilt keeps you stuck (and how to let it go)
-What it really means to “belong” in your own life
-That no matter what you’ve been through, you belong here
This episode will stay with you. By the end, you’ll feel seen. Grounded. Clearer about where you’ve been, and more certain about where you’re headed.
