Life doesn’t always turn out the way we hoped. We walk around every day with our bag of painful memories that we’d rather forget, regrets over our poor decisions, and bad habits that we can’t seem to change. Dysfunctional relationships that are on the “wash, rinse, repeat cycle” become the norm. The inability to be our real, authentic selves keeps us hustling and exhausted; and the lies about who we are leave us feeling defeated and unworthy. If you are feeling the weight of past burdens, Unravel will help you change your life. Behind the closed doors of Melissa's childhood home were secrets and painful wounds that festered and infected all the days that would be laid out in front of her for thirty years.

The decision to untangle her past brought clarity to her present, restored her broken marriage, altered the way she raised her children, and put an end to the dysfunction that had been handed down to her through her family.
