Book excerpt: What do we NEED after a painful split? No... Not another banana split... It's the help of a good friend who's been there. Someone who knows our pain and has come out the other side. A friend to help us forget the ice cream and remember our awesomeness. Here she is, our new BFF, Melissa. In Beautifully Broken, she guides us as we pick up the pieces. Reassembling ourselves to emerge even more beautiful than before. Breaking Up. Breaking Open. Breaking Free. Melissa Oatman is a healer, channeler, teacher, and intuitive. She hosts Awaken Your Inner Awesomeness, a podcast dedicated to improving lives and deepening spirituality. As a divorced mom of toddler twins, she survived single motherhood and discovered how to thrive. Sharing lessons learned along her journey, she helps others walking the same path. With sage advice, tools, tips, and prayers, Melissa paves the way for women to step into their power. To see that though they may feel broken, they are not. With laughter and love, she shows us that our scars do not define us. We do.
