🎧Reinventing Yourself: Healing Emotional & Physical Health with Teresa Vesneske
In this incredibly inspiring episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, host Melissa Crook welcomes Teresa Vesneske, a middle school science teacher, mother of three, and living proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
After devoting 25 years to raising her daughters, Teresa found herself with an empty nest and a deep longing to rediscover her purpose. What followed was nothing short of a metamorphosis: from completing her degree and becoming a certified teacher to choosing gastric bypass surgery in 2020 and ultimately shedding over 220 pounds—Teresa has redefined what strength, healing, and self-love look like.
This conversation delves into the courage it takes to prioritize emotional health, set new boundaries, and fully embrace the next chapter of life. Teresa’s story is raw, empowering, and a true call to action for anyone feeling stuck or unseen.
