So many of us search outside ourselves for a sense of peace, belonging, and fulfillment, but it is only when we lean into self-discovery do we achieve it. In this episode, my conversation with Melissa dives deep into how you can understand your emotions, shift away from an ego-led life, and elevate yourself.

As a highly empathic, intuitive child, Melissa Kim Corter was fascinated with other people’s basements. Dark, unexplored spaces enthralled her, and her insatiable curiosity toward the hidden dimensions of the mind led to decades of exploring the shadow dynamics within the human psyche and in nature.

For over 20 years, Melissa conducted thousands of hours of personal and group mentoring sessions, gaining insight into the nuanced ways individuals experience the soul and fear the inner depths. Her work sometimes makes people uncomfortable. It asks us to explore the hidden, unknown dimensions of self and to tend to it. This widens our ability to be with opposing tensions while humbling us as we move with it through the unknown. Melissa believes a one-sided affinity for the light creates further fragmentation and widens the gap between soul and matter. She utilizes creative and symbolic forms such as film, fairy tales, and the criminal mind to reveal psychological patterns and hidden potentials. Melissa has a Master's degree in Depth Psychology with an emphasis on Jungian Archetypal studies and is pursuing a Ph.D. at Pacifica Graduate Institute. 03:10 Melissa's journey of overcoming resistance, navigating uncertainty, and processing emotions

In this episode, we dive into how perfectionist tendencies creep into all aspects of our lives and significantly impact out mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Kailey shares her journey, struggles, and realizations along the way that will inspire you and maybe help you think about how you can start to make some shifts in your own life.

Kailey Lewis is a biomedical engineer, snowboarder, athlete, personal trainer, and extreme perfectionist. She struggled with anxiety and depression as well as TMJ and lock jaw from never knowing how to relax and calm down. She often felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, and negative all the time. This last year she made a huge switch to try and find the good, take a look from the outside, and find her purpose and happiness to slowly rewire her perfectionist thought process.

You're feeling the stress of trying to give all aspects of life the best version of yourself and never wanting to let anyone down.

The never-ending pressure to hold it all together and show the world a perfected version of yourself is just one of the deep struggles that comes with bulimia. In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Lee, who shares her incredible journey of recovery and how she has transformed her past challenges into her purpose.

Certified Eating Disorder Coach (CCIED) Sarah Lee has been in practice since 2016, possessing four professional coaching certifications. She helps many people yet specializes in female adolescents and believers of the Christian faith. Before entering the mental health field, Sarah held various leadership positions in the banking-corporate world for over eighteen years. Immediately after leaving banking, she began working alongside her love as CFO for his radio broadcasting company. She brings both her professional background and own lived recovery experience into her coaching practice. While in her twenties, Sarah secretly struggled with Bulimia for almost seven years but, on the outside, presented to all as a high-functioning and successful individual in most aspects of her life. However, the physical damage began to catch up with her, and after a major medical scare, she went straight into recovery and found her freedom from Bulimia in 2006. After her mother passed away at just 61 years old in 2013 due to a variety of diagnoses and complications believed to have stemmed from her life-long battle with food and weight, Sarah soon felt a calling to gain the education needed to help other girls and women break free from disordered eating and find peace. She is passionate about helping each of her clients and willingly jumps all-in to each of their journeys. As a result, most who work with Sarah will say she is so much more than just a coach. Personally, Sarah loves spending time with her family, specifically her love, Don, son, Bruce, daughter-in-law, Madi, grandson, Lazarus, and her very spoiled Schnauzer, Oreo! She would have many fur babies if she could, and she even wanted to be a veterinarian when she was little, but helping others conquer Bulimia and other eating disorders, is her chief priority, and that takes time. She loves experiencing the rustic serenity of nature yet also the elegance and pleasure of fine dining. Writing poetry also flows easily from her heart and mind.

I share some simple tips to start rewiring your brain and move in a direction that serves your achievement and your health.

Decisions can often be a source of stress and anxiety especially when it comes to our health, careers, and relationships. We are told not to make emotional decisions. We are told to weigh all the pros and cons. We are told to consider the consequences. Often, after all the considerations, we can feel completely overwhelmed and paralyzed in making any decision at all. In this episode, Dr. Rishma Walji brings a unique perspective in how you can cultivate self- awareness, understand your emotions, trust yourself, and make decisions.

Rishma Walji trained as a Naturopathic Doctor and PhD. She spent over 20 years in clinical practice helping patients make big decisions about health, hormones and family. She's currently writing a book about intentional decision making. A lot of her work is related to awareness and emotion that can either guide or mislead our life choices.

There's no doubt that striving for success and pursuing high achievement are positive attributes in today's society...but at what cost? We are so quick to focus on what it will cost us if we don't put in the extra hours, if we take a day off, or if we create boundaries between work and life. However, have you ever stopped to think about what it is costing you when success and high achievement become prioritized over everything else in life? You may think about it differently after this episode.
