The role of self-acceptance in finding fulfillment, choosing to define who we are on our terms, and becoming our own anchor

How our experiences can offer connection and support, and why sharing our story reminds us that we're not alone

Melissa's mantra, her biggest lesson from sharing her journey and new book, her biggest dream, and so much more!
