The Cult Story I’m Finally Telling

In this episode of An Unfiltered Life, Melissa shares one of the hardest stories from her past: the time she found herself inside a controlling church environment after a powerful faith awakening.

This is a tender, honest episode for anyone who has ever had to leave a group, a belief system, a relationship, or a version of themselves in order to finally hear their own voice again.

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.
