When life delivers unimaginable loss, how do you rebuild—not just your health, but your hope?

In this deeply moving episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Turner, founder of Turnaround Wellness, to talk about her journey from retail pharmacist burnout to faith-driven entrepreneur. After the tragic loss of her sister and father, Melissa realized she couldn’t stay stuck in a career that was destroying her physically and emotionally. Through God’s guidance, she discovered the power of pharmacogenomic testing, lifestyle medicine, and spiritual healing to transform lives.

We unpack:

• How to navigate grief while still showing up for life.

• The role of genetics in choosing the right medication and avoiding years of trial-and-error.

• Why lifestyle changes—sleep, nutrition, mindset—are the real foundation of health.

• The power of faith in business and why she refused to separate the two.

• Practical first steps to reclaim your energy and mental clarity starting today.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or hopeless, this conversation will inspire you to take the first step toward healing—body, mind, and spirit.

In this heartfelt episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with vocal confidence coach and author Linda Ugelow to explore the deep, often hidden roots of our fear of being seen and heard.

Once a professional performer who secretly dreaded public speaking, Linda vulnerably shares her journey of uncovering how childhood trauma, family dynamics, and internalized perfectionism kept her voice suppressed for decades. Through inner work, somatic practices, EFT (tapping), and deep forgiveness, she found true freedom—not just in speaking, but in being fully herself.

Together, Melissa and Linda explore:
🔹 Why fear of visibility is often a trauma response
🔹 How perfectionism keeps us stuck in performance mode
🔹 The power of EFT, movement, and emotional release
🔹 What it really means to feel safe using your voice
🔹 Why being seen is a critical part of holistic healing

If you’ve ever felt afraid to speak up, share your truth, or take up space—this episode will leave you feeling empowered, seen, and reminded that your voice matters.
