Melanie grew up in a world where faith was law, obedience was survival, and questioning the rules came at a cost. For years, she tried to fit the mold—silencing doubts, suppressing her true self, and sacrificing personal freedom for acceptance. But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing—unresolved religious trauma, addiction, and a desperate need for something real.

This is probably one of the most real and raw podcast interviews I have done. Melanie's story is deep and powerful, and has made her into the amazing and strong woman she is today.

However, what if we change the narrative of comparison and use it as a tool for the better? In today's episode, I talk about that. I hope it inspires you to use it for good!
