Because it's not random. And it's not because something is wrong with you. In this episode, Melissa sits down with Krystina Dixon, Christian life and legacy coach, to explore what's really happening beneath the surface. Together, they unpack how trauma, fear, and early life experiences shape the nervous system, influence identity, and impact the way women relate to God. And more importantly, how those patterns begin to shift. They dive into: • How fear can quietly become the voice leading decisions • Why anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing are rooted in survival patterns • What's happening in the nervous system when someone feels stuck • Why it can feel difficult to hear the Holy Spirit • The connection between presence, the body, and relationship with God • Simple, practical ways to begin regulating the body This is the work. Not fixing. Not striving. Learning to feel safe in the body so there is space to hear, trust, and follow God's lead. For the woman who has thought, \"I don't even know who I am anymore,\" this episode offers clarity, understanding, and a way forward. This conversation is an invitation into healing, identity, and freedom.
