Summary
In this special solo episode, Melissa shares a deeply personal reflection about connecting with the Creator in a new and powerful way, and how her journey with spirituality has continued to evolve, from her Catholic upbringing to the profound experience of going to Jewish temple for the first time with Noah and his family. Melissa explores what it means to be a true beam of light in the world, and how guilt, shame, judgment, and gossip can weigh us down and dim that light. Through honest self-reflection, she encourages us to release what no longer serves us and give ourselves permission to step into our greatness. You’ll hear Melissa speak candidly about her own “soul’s correction” and the importance of waking up to the signs around us, reminders from the universe that call us to live more consciously, more lovingly, and more fully aligned with who we’re meant to be. This episode is an invitation to get real with ourselves and let go of what holds us back.

| 0:42.7 | I woke up at two in the morning and then four in the morning. |
| 0:48.7 | It was like I was literally being woken up from the angels and call it whatever you want. |
| 0:53.0 | But it was this energy moving through me. |
| 1:00.3 | Like, use your voice. Use your voice, your power. You are here for a purpose. And as much as I know that, this call, this energy has gotten so strong to the |
| 1:09.6 | point where I am really prioritizing my practice of spirituality, |
| 1:17.3 | of connecting to the creator, to source in a way that I never have in my entire life. |
| 1:26.1 | And I just spent the past 48 hours of the new year really observing |

| 1:39.7 | I grew up Catholic and there was never a foundation of faith or hope or love or beliefs in my home. |
| 1:53.4 | And that has moved through my nervous system throughout my entire life and left me feeling unsafe. And I'll never forget the |
| 2:03.4 | first time that I went to Temple with Noah and his family. We were dating. And I felt this |
| 2:11.2 | profound feeling of, whoa, wait a minute. And I remember the rabbi at the time he was talking about, it doesn't matter |
| 2:20.4 | who you are, where you came from, the shoal of New York is a non-denominational temple. And I felt so |
