Melissa shares how she has come to love her story even though, at times, her story was anything but lovable. She has endured sexual abuse, spiritual manipulation, loss of relationships, and accidentally cutting off her fingers doing a hobby she loves. Despite a life full of difficulty, she has found meaning and self-compassion in her pain.
