Change can be daunting, but embracing it leads to profound personal transformation. The host reflects on her journey with a transformation coach, highlighting the importance of radical honesty and self-awareness. She emphasizes nurturing connections, the benefits of slower living, and joyful moments to improve mental health. A renewed relationship with exercise is discussed, focusing on intuition over societal norms. Ultimately, she urges listeners to recognize change as a constant companion and to evaluate their daily choices for happiness.

In this solo episode, Melissa explores how we can all learn to deeply trust ourselves, no matter what questions or challenges life presents. Inspired by a Q&A from Instagram, she shares insights on building a strong relationship with yourself, allowing you to show up as the person you aspire to be each day. Melissa emphasizes that doubt is inevitable, but instead of going opinion shopping, we should sit with it, look inside ourselves, and let the answers reveal themselves. If overwhelm hits, it’s ok—own it and don’t hesitate to ask for help. Radical transparency is essential to cultivating trust—both within yourself and in your relationships, because without self-trust, trusting others becomes impossible. When you do find clarity, move forward with confidence. Melissa encourages us to follow our instincts when change is necessary and to use moments of clarity as fuel for growth. Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on melissawoodhealth.com.Go to Boncharge.com/mwh and use code MWH for 15% off your purchase. Visit ritual.com/movewithheart and 25% OFF your first month of Ritual will automatically be applied at checkout.Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, founder of MWH and host of the Move With Heart Podcast, is a meditation teacher, certified yoga and pilates instructor, certified health coach, and beloved by the diverse community she’s cultivated through her unique approach to fitness and mindfulness over the years.
