In this week’s episode of The Honor You Podcast, Melissa breaks down one of the biggest barriers to living a life aligned with your true desires: the shame and guilt that show up when you try to honor yourself.
Melissa explores the five practical, actionable ways to honor yourself without abandoning your responsibilities—and without abandoning yourself. You will learn how communication, asking for help, getting clear on your needs, sharing on your own terms, and offering yourself genuine inner permission create the foundation for authenticity, self-trust, and purpose.
She also discusses why so many people reach their 30s and beyond feeling disconnected from who they are, how people-pleasing and over-functioning slowly erode self-alignment, and why honoring your soul’s desires is the key to living a life that actually feels like your own.
If you are craving more alignment, more clarity, and more confidence in what you want, be sure to take Melissa’s free quiz, which helps you identify where you may be abandoning yourself and provides seven days of guided next steps.
