If you’re sick of pretending you’re “fine” while your insides feel like an anxiety-ridden dumpster fire, this one’s for you. Maybe you’re burned out, trapped by old trauma, or chasing every fix you can—meds, self-help hacks, scrolling, even those plant medicine “shortcuts.” You crave actual relief. Truth? You don’t need another pill. You need to find your way back to yourself.

In this radically honest episode, I sit down with Melissa Minnich—a survivor, former drug trafficker, and now the author of High on Life: A Prescription for Bliss. Melissa doesn’t sugarcoat her pain. She lived through hell: a 10/10 ACE score, addiction, hospitalizations, self-harm, and relentless trauma. We get raw about what it really takes to break free from the narrative you inherited (or got stuck in) and why no external “prescription”—medical, spiritual, or otherwise—will ever be enough if you don’t face your story head-on.

But this isn’t just a trauma story. It’s a reckoning, a masterclass in resurrecting yourself no matter how far you’ve fallen. If you’re done with the victim role and ready for a new chapter, Melissa is handing you the permission slip—and the real, practical tools—to claim your life back.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How to break free from the vicious cycles of burnout and coping mechanisms that never truly heal you
  • Why “you are the medicine” isn’t just a buzzword—Melissa’s step-by-step process for finding your medicine within
  • The ugly, honest truth about using drugs and external fixes (including plant medicine) to numb, escape, or chase love
  • How old trauma warps your responses—the science and soul behind transforming pain into power
  • Practical ways to create a new emotional baseline (spoiler: it doesn’t require sitting cross-legged for hours or faking “gratitude”)
  • How to move from victimhood to being the damn victor—no matter how rough your starting point

✨ Key Takeaway

You don’t have to wait for life to rescue you—healing starts the moment you decide to become your own medicine.

📌 Resources & Links

Listen in if you’re ready to quit outsourcing your happiness, stop living in survival mode, and finally write your own damn prescription for bliss. No sugarcoating—just the truth, and your next brave step.
