Episode Throwback: Midlife, ”Seasons”, & Self-Care: Redefining Rest & Rewriting the Rules with Melanie Tarr

Hot Takes on Healing with Jess Leone

We’re in the heart of spring—a season of growth, renewal, and letting go—and I couldn’t think of a better time to revisit this conversation with one of my besties, Melanie Tarr.

Melanie is a grounded and gifted healer who brings heart, humor, and deep wisdom to this #MindfulMonday episode we originally streamed live in our Facebook community. With a background in energy work, psychology, and recovery support, Melanie shares her hot takes on what it really means to bloom through life’s shifting seasons (especially the messy ones).

Together, we get into:

• What it means to navigate the transitions of midlife

• The programming that tells us we have to earn our rest (spoiler: you don’t, boo)

• How to invite joy back in through play, presence, and prioritizing you

We laugh. We reflect. We tell the truth about how self-care evolves, why fun isn’t optional, and how midlife can be a reclamation of self—not a crisis.

This episode is like a walk through spring energy in audio form: refreshing, honest, and full of unexpected growth.
