In this episode, Melissa explores the deep impact that years of masking, self-doubt, and external validation-seeking can have on adults—especially those with ADHD or heightened sensitivity. She shares her own journey of reclaiming self-trust, the limiting beliefs that kept her stuck, and how reparenting herself somatically has helped her—and her clients—begin to heal from the inside out.

What you’ll learn:

• Why ADHDers often struggle to trust themselves after a lifetime of being misunderstood
• How childhood conditioning creates unconscious limiting beliefs that persist into adulthood
• The difference between intellectually knowing something and somatically believing it
• How reparenting gets to the root of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and emotional dysregulation
• How to recognize and break free from outsourcing your power to others
• Why self-trust starts with nervous system safety—not mindset work alone
• What an “evidence journal” is, and how it helps rebuild confidence
• What it means to somatically rewire old emotional wounds and beliefs
• Why external validation can never replace internal safety and self-acceptance
• How Melissa is now working with moms to reparent themselves—and why it changes everything
