Welcome back to Season 4 of the HGP!!
Melissa explores how healing can create an identity crisis and why that discomfort isn’t danger but adjustment. She breaks down how survival mode distorted personality, offers a simple exercise to separate protection from true traits, and speaks on grieving the old self while reclaiming values, boundaries, and rest.
This episode encourages embracing the messy, honest work of becoming your authentic self.
