Move With Heart

It’s been five years since Melissa stopped drinking alcohol, and life has transformed completely. She now navigates anxiety and stress by managing her mental health in a much healthier way, recognizing triggers without letting them take over. When she wakes up in a dark place, she dives deep into her life, getting radically honest with herself. To truly evolve, you have to be willing to do the work, change, and tap into what brings you joy and a strong sense of self. Instead of forcing things, it’s about connecting to source, remembering that you’re the creator of your life. Melissa suggests making a "joy list" and returning to those things whenever you feel disconnected. She’s discovered what elevates her mood without spiking anxiety and even has a favorite go-to for making non-alcoholic drinks.
