In this powerful and deeply authentic episode of The F.E.E.L. Podcast, Melissa sits down with Dr. Anna Marie Frank, whom she met at The Power of Just One conference hosted by Swell Women and Lulu Agan. What begins as a meaningful connection between two women unfolds into a transformative conversation about boundaries, healing, self-awareness, and reclaiming personal power.

Dr. Anna Marie Frank—known for her joyful, grounded, and holistic approach to life—shares her journey of reprogramming deeply ingrained beliefs that no longer served her. She explains how many women live on autopilot for years before realizing that intentional self-awareness is the first step toward real, lasting change.

A central theme of this episode is boundaries, especially for women who have been conditioned to manage other people’s emotions at the expense of their own well-being. Anna offers a liberating reminder: you are not responsible for how others feel—you are responsible for yourself. While uncomfortable at first, this shift can be life-changing.

The conversation also explores the powerful connection between mental, physical, and spiritual health. Anna emphasizes that the body follows the mind, and that true healing happens when we treat the whole person. Her philosophy centers on the belief that the medicine is within us—and that we have far more agency over our health, confidence, and direction than we’re often taught.

Melissa and Anna also discuss how emotions and life experiences don’t need to be labeled as “good” or “bad.” Acceptance, rather than suppression, creates space for healing, authenticity, and alignment with who we truly are.

This episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to start over, reconnect with your passions, or stop denying your gifts. Through honesty, vulnerability, and wisdom, Dr. Anna Marie Frank inspires listeners to live with intention, confidence, and self-trust.
