In this empowering episode, Robin Jonas sits down with Melissa to unpack the deep and often tender journey of self-love, body image, and holistic wellness. Melissa vulnerably shares her story—from growing up under the weight of body shame and societal expectations to now living with intention, self-compassion, and gratitude.

Together, they share how the mind, body, and soul are beautifully interconnected. This conversation offers real talk on letting go of guilt, learning to love yourself where you are, and reclaiming movement as a joyful act of care—not punishment.

Melissa also introduces her Move With Purpose - mindset and movement journal and offers a sweet gift for listeners—20% off with code livelife20.


Top Takeaways:

  • Your story holds power; awareness is the first step.

  • Movement is a gift, not a chore.

  • Body shame is rooted in cultural lies—not your truth.

  • Grace, not guilt, is the foundation for lasting change.

  • Healthy living is personal—there’s no one-size-fits-all.

  • Boundaries and gratitude are both acts of self-love.
