Ep. #62 Join us for an intimate exploration of eating disorders, starting a business, and infusing joy with Melissa Wood. Melissa courageously shares her battle with an eating disorder, binge drinking, and the self-loathing she felt about her acne. She discusses the life-altering impact of "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay and the pivotal moment when she hit rock bottom. Her journey is one of radical honesty, the courage to seek help, and the relentless pursuit of self-love. Listen in as Melissa's story unfolds, offering hope and inspiration to anyone seeking to rewrite their narrative and step into a life of wellness and authenticity. From the spiritual and physical benefits of colonics to the grounding practice of acupuncture, we share personal anecdotes and insights on how internal care is as vital as external treatments. We also reflect on the evolution of body image, the significance of joy in self-care routines, and how embracing multiple roles in life demands authenticity and the prioritization of joy. Whether it's through meditation, nostril breathing, or setting boundaries as a sensitive leader, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to navigate life's chaos with grace and self-compassion.
