In this Part 1 opening episode of the new season of The Spiral Podcast, Melissa returns after nearly three years to share a raw and vulnerable life update. She takes us through her journey of death and rebirth, from meeting her beloved Frank in Ecuador, to the profound initiation of a ceremonial abortion, to moving through a year-and-a-half-long dark night of the soul.

Melissa reflects on the recalibration that conscious union demands, the medicine of surrendering to the unknown, and the ecstatic rebirth that followed. She shares the story of how she and Frank met, the spiritual confirmations they both received, and the foundations of their relationship rooted in integrity, honesty, and truth. This episode is both a life update and a living transmission, an invitation to trust your own spiral journey and the timing of your becoming.
