Join me as I sit down with Melissa Armstrong, a trauma informed functional health coach from Colorado. Melissa bravely recounts her journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming a beacon of hope and healing for women around the world. Learn how she transitioned from being a registered nurse to a holistic health coach with her own private practice, focusing on trauma recovery without the crutch of pills and procedures. Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and an unwavering dedication to guiding others on their paths to self discovery and healing.
We dive deep into self awareness and the importance of recognising and processing emotional triggers. We discuss how simple yet profound practices like journaling and meditation can lead to significant personal growth and long lasting mental and physical well being.
Empathy and kindness can be powerful tools for healing. Melissa shares a touching story about the power of forgiveness after a minor car accident, illustrating how small acts of compassion can make a big difference. Shifting gears, we explore the intricate connections between women’s menstrual cycles, emotional well-being, and physical health, advocating for a more holistic approach to wellness. By understanding our body's cycles and embracing self-awareness, we can begin to break free from limiting beliefs and conditioned narratives. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical advice for anyone on their healing journey, offering hope and inspiration for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
