In Episode 14 of Auntie Mel Mel: Life Unfiltered, I sit down with sisters Cassidy and Chrystyna for a powerful and honest conversation about adoption, domestic violence, marital rape, survival, and advocacy.

We talk about how abandonment wounds can shape relationships, the red flags people often miss, what abuse really looks like from the inside, and why leaving is never as simple as it sounds. Most importantly, we talk about finding your voice and turning survival into purpose.

This conversation is detailed, real, and rooted in hope.
