So I want you to print this list up and carry it around with you to remind yourself whenever you doubt your self-worth.

  • You do not have to struggle
  • You do not have to fight
  • You do not have to compete
  • You do not have to win
  • You do not need to follow the herd
  • You just have to love
  • You just have to be
  • You just have to exist
  • Listen to that inner voice that is guiding you
  • Know in your heart that you are enough
  • Be kind and generous to yourself and others
  • Practice patience and all you seek will come to be
  • Trust in the process and detach from the outcome
  • Embrace mistakes and pain and see them as lessons
  • Forgive so you can free yourself from your prison
  • Believe in miracles
  • Celebrate yourself today and every day
  • Live in the now, it’s all we have

Always REMEMBER …you are not walking alone

Love, light, and blessings.

I'm Melissa, your host & tour guide.

A Food Network chef, author, mamma, eternal optimist, wannabe-mermaid, spice mixologist, and “dough therapist” (yep, it’s a thing)—

I'm also the founder of Susina Cucina, the gorgeous, Italian cooking school I manifested into my reality. I’m obsessed with Aperol spritzes, travel, and mouthwatering food… especially pizza and pasta.
