In this deeply personal solo episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa shares the story she's never fully told before. After a recent social media reel about her experience as an RN during the COVID-19 pandemic reached millions of people, listeners asked for the full story. This episode is that story. Melissa takes you behind the scenes of working inside the traditional medical system before and during the pandemic, navigating pregnancy, caring for patients, questioning what she was witnessing firsthand, and ultimately walking away from a career she once believed was her calling. In this episode, you'll hear: • What it was like working as a registered nurse during COVID • The experiences that changed her perspective on healthcare • How fear, burnout, and moral injury affected healthcare workers • Why she believes informed consent matters • How these experiences ultimately led her to build a different approach to healing Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, this episode is an honest account of one nurse's personal experience and the journey that shaped the work she does today. Today, Melissa helps women move from survival to freedom by addressing the root causes of emotional and physical symptoms through a trauma-informed, faith-based approach that integrates nervous system regulation, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and biblical truth.
