About this listen
In this powerful and emotional episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with her dear friend Vika, an integrative health practitioner, mom of two, and advocate for root-cause healing.
Vika opens up about her deeply personal journey from battling Hashimoto's and navigating medical gaslighting to watching her son experience neurological regression and an eventual autism diagnosis. Together, Melissa and Vika explore what happens to a mother's heart and nervous system when her child becomes sick, the trauma of being dismissed by the medical system, and the courage it takes to keep fighting for answers.
They also discuss the tension within the autism community, the need for both acceptance and advocacy, and how faith, resilience, and community can transform pain into purpose. This is a must-listen for any mom who's ever felt unheard, unseen, or unsure where to turn next and a reminder that you're not alone and healing is ALWAYS possible.
