If you’ve ever wondered how neurological conditions like ADHD or autism affect how we handle stress, relationships, or life transitions like divorce — this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Robert Melillo, a leading expert in brain development and functional neurology, for a fascinating, deeply practical conversation about what’s really going on beneath the surface during moments of emotional overwhelm.

What if joy isn’t about feeling good all the time? In this episode, Melie sits down with Charlie Engelmann—educator, speaker, and PhD candidate studying joy—to unpack what joy really is, how it’s different from happiness, and why adversity is actually essential for building a joyful life.
