What if the place that was supposed to feel like home felt more like a prison? In this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick Custer sits down with media strategist, Melissa Bull, who opens up about growing up in a chaotic home shaped by her mother’s struggles with hoarding and mental health. She shares raw, unfiltered memories of navigating a childhood filled with secrecy, perfectionism, and the emotional toll of living in a cluttered, unpredictable environment.Melissa reflects on the pivotal moments that led to her parents’ divorce, the deep sense of isolation she felt, and the role her grandmother played as a rare source of stability and hope. Despite everything, she found a way to break free from the patterns of her past—and she’s here to share how she did it.This conversation is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define you, and healing is always possible. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience, survival, and the ongoing journey toward recovery.
