Melissa Leong knows what it means to start over—and in this powerful episode of brand new podcast ‘You’re Gonna Want To Hear This’, she tells OzHarvest founder Ronni Kahn exactly how she found the guts to rip up her life and begin again. From “listening to your gut” to learning that “discomfort breeds growth,” Melissa shares candid stories of moving to rural Tasmania, fighting imposter syndrome, and facing her sense of self-worth head-on. Ronni and Melissa dive into what it really takes to reinvent yourself, discussing heartbreak, resilience, and the art of “being comfortable with being uncomfortable.” If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome fear and back yourself when life takes a sharp turn, this conversation will inspire you to “stand on your own, unadorned—and hold yourself.” With heartfelt reflections on agency, aging, vulnerability, and kindness, Melissa reminds us: “You do not have to correct the narrative that exists or justify it in any way. Just by existing and living in your truth, you’ll be okay—and in the long run, everything will work out.” And Ronni’s message is something everyone needs to hear: “Kindness is free, and every single person would benefit from it.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
