Why Vulnerability, Recovery and Agency Takes Guts, with Melissa Leong

Why Vulnerability, Recovery and Agency Takes Guts, with Melissa Leong

For Masterchef judge Melissa Leong, life has served far more than just delicious food.
And as she tells Osher, whether it's been the choices she's made or the things she's had to deal with, it's often taken a lot of guts to get through.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

  • Why she chose to open up about the dark parts of her life in her new memoir
  • The healthier new way Melissa is approaching relationships
  • When 'blowing up your life' is the right call
  • How taking a path to healing is a choice
  • How she defeated self-doubt in becoming a judge of Masterchef

And much more.
