If you feel lost or stuck in life, today’s episode will help you understand the root cause of trauma and how childhood experiences shape you throughout your life. 

Understanding your trauma is the key to healing. 

Your past doesn’t define you—but it does shape you. And today, world-renowned physician and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté is here to break it all down. 

Dr. Maté, a leading expert on trauma, shares insights on this topic unlike anything you have heard before. 

In this powerful conversation, he reveals how childhood experiences—whether you realize it or not—impact your relationships, self-worth, and the way you navigate life. 

You’ll learn why trauma, stress, addiction, and people-pleasing aren’t just personality traits but survival patterns formed in your early years. 

And most importantly, you’ll discover that while what happened to you isn’t your fault, healing is your responsibility. 

This conversation will challenge the way you see yourself—and give you the tools to take control of your future.

Maybe you’re the one who keeps the house running.

Today’s episode is a deeply honest conversation about what it takes to let go of mistakes, forgive yourself, leave your past in the past, and create a new version of you. 

In this moving episode, Mel sits down with her friend Carl Lentz, a former megachurch pastor, who watched his life implode in real time.
