In this moving episode, Melissa sits down with best-selling author and School of Greatness host, Lewis Howes, for a conversation about healing, self-worth, and transforming your relationship with money. Lewis opens up about being sexually abused at age five, how that trauma led to anxiety and emotional instability, and why he never felt truly safe growing up—eventually leaving home at just 13. He shares what it means to be emotionally and spiritually broken, and how we often need to become the adult we didn’t have to create safety within ourselves. Melissa opens up about her own scarcity mindset around money and feelings of survivor’s guilt, and Lewis offers heartfelt advice on how to shift into a place of service and abundance. They explore the idea of becoming a “money magnet,” the importance of knowing your money story, and why expressing gratitude—even to money—can be a game changer. Lewis also shares insights from his new book, Make Money Easy, inviting us all to rewrite the way we view wealth and worth.

Ep 106: Managing “It All”

This solo episode begins with a grounding moment from Melissa for a soft return to the breath and a gentle reminder to come back to presence. The heart of this conversation is a powerful lesson: when we try to control other people’s reactions, we’re really being called to regulate ourselves first, to create calm and safety within, before expecting it from the outside. Melissa reminds us life will always bring its waves—the highs and the lows—but what truly matters is how we move through it all. We explore what it looks like to bring more peacefulness into the everyday, starting with how we show up for ourselves in the morning. If you find yourself feeling reactive or easily annoyed, this is your invitation to tune in. There’s so much power in the pause, because it’s in those quiet moments that true certainty begins to reveal itself.
