She emphasizes that her experiences and convictions are not prescriptions for others, but are meant to be a conversation starter. Melissa talks about her convictions with alcohol, and prescription medication like Xanax, and Benadryl. She also shares specific examples of how her decision to say no to these things has benefitted her over the last few years.  This is a great episode if you are ready to be intentional with your healing journey or know you have an addictive personality. For those who have lost a loved one, suffer from anxiety or depression, or have experienced trauma, consider this episode as a segue to ask yourself important questions related to grief and numbing your emotions to avoid feeling pain, sadness, anger, etc. If you are ready to heal instead of escape the pain, this episode will give you hope as Melissa shares how she has been able to move forward toward true healing from trauma and tough situations. Giving alcohol up has allowed her to feel all the feelings and process the pain fully instead of just numbing and avoiding it. She encourages listeners to seek God's guidance in their own lives and to trust in His wisdom.   Disclaimer: Melissa is a Christian Life Coach, not a doctor or therapist.
