Melissa Hemsley
Season 6, Episode 8: Unmasking Your True Self with Melissa Hemsley.
“ I was always praised when I was good, and perfect and did really well, I was head girl. I didn’t want to be the best at things, you know, school tests, a spelling test. I didn’t want to be the best for a sense of achievement but I knew I just relished the praise. Just so wanted, you know, like, someone said to me, ‘Oh my mom really likes you. You’re her favourite’. Like oh my god, that’s the best thing ever. Isn’t it? I mean, it’s really sad. ”
Chef and best-selling cookbook author, Melissa Hemsley, joins Caggie in this conversation about finding happiness and balance in your true self.
Melissa openly shares how she is working on herself in therapy and the difficulty of actually being open and honest about who you are, as well as exploring the struggle of perfectionism and releasing the need for praise.
They also discuss their mutual love of naps, why it’s important to feel fear and do things that scare you, and Melissa’s profound experience during The Bridge retreat.
