“ If you haven't seen been around in a minute, I usually get something along the lines of Wow you're so different you seem happier, lighter, etc. I know I feel it too! Last year, I was introduced to Om Boogie through a mutual friend. Om was being reposted in their Instagram stories and after hearing a few of his videos I started following him to hear more. The words “transformational coaching” “helping creators and visionaries turn their trauma into triumph.” never left me after reading them in his bio. I didn't necessarily think of myself as a creative or visionary, but I knew I had some trauma that I was interested in working through but didn't know where to begin. I open up my phone to find an email from Om asking if I would be interested in doing an interview for a new series talking to creators about how they found their voice. Watching that interview, I can hear my voice shaking at times unsure of myself but desperate to let go of the the pain, doubt, and false narratives I have built my foundation on. I see someone who is starting to drown out the bullshit to find her voice and the most, authentic, unapologetic reimagined Melina way possible! I've been working with Om for almost a year now. I knew I would find healing but to be honest, I didn't expect my mind to be transformed. I didn't expect community and I didn't expect to fall in love with every part of myself and then want to share the power of healing. Om, I am a new me because of our work.”
