    Sourdough, Bathtubs & the Fear of Being Rejected

    In this episode of An Unfiltered Life, Melissa talks about thunderstorms, sourdough starters, clawfoot bathtubs, kids being kids, and the strange little adventures that make life feel alive again. But underneath the funny stories is a deeper realization: selling products never felt personal, but selling coaching, photography, and her own creative gifts does. Melissa opens up about ADHD, rejection sensitivity, self-promotion, and the fear that if people don’t say yes, it might mean something about her. This is an honest, funny, real-time reflection on learning to take the risk anyway. If this episode spoke to you, send it to a woman who’s overthinking her next move.

    The Hidden Cost of Being “The Strong One”

    So many women have been praised their entire lives for being strong. But what happens when being “the strong one” starts to break your nervous system? In this deeply honest episode, Melissa shares her personal journey through chronic stress, raising six kids, living in survival mode, and eventually discovering how nervous system regulation changed everything. From unexpected weight loss during a year of off-grid travel to the realization that stress-not discipline-was driving her health struggles, Melissa explores how trauma, hyper-responsibility, and the pressure to hold everything together can drain our emotional and physical batteries. She also shares simple practices that helped her begin healing: sunlight, grounding, movement, honest conversations, and learning to ask for help. If you've ever felt like you're constantly on edge, exhausted from holding everything together, or afraid to admit you need support, this episode will feel like a conversation with a friend who truly gets it. Because healing your nervous system isn't about becoming weaker. It's about finally letting yourself stop surviving and start living.
