Beautiful remembrance ✨️

Such important Work

My name is Melody Johnson Nolan, and I’ve lived many lives within this one. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that resilience isn’t born from ease — it’s forged in fire, heartbreak, and faith. I AM a 43 year wise mother of 11, wife, Massage Therapist/Energy medicine healer for people and animals, and creator who has risen again and again through things that could have easily ended me. I’ve survived domestic violence three different times, each chapter teaching me more about my worth, my strength, discernment, boundaries love truly needs, and that the unexpected can come from anywhere or the least expected person/experience. In 2018, my children and I barely escaped the Paradise Camp Fire — losing our home, my business, 7 of our animals, and nearly everything we owned. It was a moment that stripped life down to its essence, tore our then family of 5 apart(my 5 children and me as a single mom), forcing me to rebuild from ashes in every way possible. Just when I began to breathe again while caretaking a friend's 9 acre farm in Mount Shasta, in 2019, I lost my father unexpectedly — finding out from afar that he had passed alone, laid there for 3 days in July, which shattered something deep inside me. That same year, a week later on vacation for my best friend's birthday, I was in a severe vehicle accident that left me with six skull fractures, lung issues from airbag propellant exploding into my face, and lasting effects I still feel every day. And yet — I am still here. I am still rising. Every trauma, every loss, every heartbreak has become part of the alchemy that turned me into who I am today: The Indomitable Phoenix. I now dedicate my life to helping others find that same light within themselves — through holistic healing, self-awareness, and the remembrance that no matter what we’ve been through, we can always rise again Sovereign and more Resilient.

Congratulations, that's so exciting!
