## Resource

If you've been stuck in cycles of overspending, burnout, emotional coping, or feeling like you're never doing enough… this conversation will hit deep. In this episode of Holistic Health with Melissa , we sit down with Sammy Wedemeyer, who is publicly documenting her family's debt payoff journey, faith walk, and radical lifestyle transformation in real time. But this isn't just about money. We dive into: Why you don't need more information - you need transformation How nervous system dysregulation drives spending, burnout, and coping habits The emotional reality of grief, identity shifts, and letting go of your old life How faith, surrender, and obedience create real, lasting change The connection between trauma, motherhood, dopamine, and financial patterns Why healing your relationship with money starts with healing yourself This episode is for the woman who feels: Exhausted, stretched thin, and overwhelmed Stuck in cycles she can't seem to break Ashamed of her coping habits Ready for something deeper than another strategy Healing is possible. Freedom is possible. And your story is not over. If you're ready to stop staying stuck in the same cycles and actually create change… This is the work I do inside my 1:1 Coaching and The Freedom Collective .
