Trauma Gave Me the One Thing the World Told Me to Ignore: My Intuition

When Melissa Lafsky Saleh lost her child days before delivery, everything shattered. Career. Identity. Marriage. Meaning. But what emerged from the ashes wasn’t just survival—it was sovereignty.

In this raw and revelatory episode of What the Shift, Melissa shares the deeply personal story of how unimaginable grief burned off everything that wasn’t her—and unlocked the one superpower the world taught her to silence: her intuition.

We talk about:

• What it means to rebuild yourself cell by cell after trauma

• How high-achieving women often bury trauma beneath success

• The difference between fear and intuition—and how to hear the voice that’s actually yours

• Why grief doesn’t end—but it can evolve

• The real ROI of reclaiming your inner knowing

This isn’t just a story of loss. It’s a masterclass in becoming unshakable. If you’ve ever been cracked open and forced to find a new way forward—this one’s for you.
