Summary
In this Valentine’s Day episode of The Story of Us , Jeff sits down with Melanie Love — a former investment manager turned chronic pain advocate and founder of (un)block — for a deeply honest conversation about reinvention, healing, and embodiment. Jeff first met Melanie at an event hosted by Season 1 guest Molly Jones. What began as an organic connection around chronic pain and shared purpose turned into a powerful dialogue recorded at Jeff’s kitchen table. Melanie shares her journey growing up in Calgary, Canada, the influence of her grandparents, and her impressive career in international energy finance. But the heart of this episode centers on her Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) diagnosis, multiple traumatic brain injuries, and the unraveling — and rebuilding — that followed. Together, they explore: What Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is and why it’s often misunderstood The connection between fascia, trauma, and nervous system regulation The emotional and physical toll of chronic pain Why “no pain, no gain” might be the wrong framework for healing The difference between life happening to us, by us, and through us The power of surrender and the meaning behind “Let It Be Enough” Melanie also discusses how her personal healing journey led her to create (un)block , a fascia-based self-care tool designed to help people release tension, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with their bodies. This is a conversation about curiosity over collapse, presence over perfectionism, and learning to soften instead of force. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body — this episode is for you.
