What if fear is still running your life — but it sounds like "being responsible"?

In this powerful episode, Melissa shares how perfectionism, performance, and a deep fear of abandonment shaped her life for decades — and how she began to unhook from that pattern with just a little willingness.

You'll hear raw, relatable stories, ACIM insights, and the small-but-mighty mindset shifts that open the door to real healing.

🌱 Themes we explore:

• Why "being responsible" might be fear in disguise
• How A Course in Miracles invites us to interrupt old patterns
• Melissa's healing journey around perfectionism and fear of abandonment
• How to recognize and soften fear-based operating systems
• The miracle of choosing to see it differently
