Move With Heart

After some time away from solo episodes, Melissa is back behind the mic for a much-needed reset. She takes a step back to reconnect with why she started the podcast while getting honest about how it all began to feel like too much. All from rigid guest scheduling to saying yes too often and losing alignment through the process. Melissa reflects on taking ownership, shifting out of ego and into a more soul-led place, and remembering that things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you. After a conversation with a friend reignited her love for the show, she’s stepping into a new season of solo episodes by choosing flow over force and getting clear on where she truly wants to put her time and energy while encouraging you to do the same. You can shop all Saie Beauty at sephora.com or saiehello.com. Follow us on Instagram at @melissawoodtepperberg and @melissawoodhealthLimited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on melissawoodhealth.com.
