Summary

In this intuitive and unplanned solo episode, Melissa sits down to passionately remind us about the power of meditation. With over a decade of dedication to this practice, it has truly become the foundation of everything for her. Despite still occasionally resisting the practice, she emphasizes the immense benefits of breaking through that struggle and showing up consistently each day, reminding us that what we focus on grows. She offers practical tips on how to prioritize meditation, even though it's often something we all avoid. Shifting focus to what we're grateful for, connecting to our breath, and embracing stillness are key practices. Melissa also highlights the importance of starting your day from a place of calm, where you honor yourself by taking the time to manage your stress and prioritize your mental health. This episode serves as a gentle reminder that the power of showing up as our best selves lies in a practice built to start your days in peace.
