I Spent Years Hating Myself Until I Started This Practice

I Spent Years Hating Myself Until I Started This Practice

Melissa Wood-Tepperberg shares the moment she found herself on her bathroom floor, looking in the mirror with tears streaming down her face, saying "I hate you" to her own reflection after years of binge drinking, bulimia, and drug experimentation. She opens up about growing up in poverty with four sisters, learning at age seven to manage household chaos, and how that early survival mode shaped decades of self-destructive patterns masked by perfection.

You'll hear how she finally found peace through a practice that became her anchor, allowing her to finally see herself clearly and build a wellness platform that now serves millions, all while navigating the tension between growth and staying true to what feels aligned.

The conversation dives into why the fastest way out of suffering is serving others, how to recognize when you're creating chaos because safety feels unfamiliar, and why Melissa is currently stripping away new masks as she steps into motivational speaking. She offers raw honesty about still waking up with dark thoughts after years of healing work, and how she's learned to get herself out quickly by staying connected to source.
