Hidden Memories

Discover What's Blocking You from Life and Love

By: Melissa Osorio

Narrated by: Melissa Osorio

At 15, I killed someone. This was just one of many secrets that my brain hid from me. For most of my life, I had barely any memories of my childhood. Except for a few snippets, I lived in the dark. It wasn’t until I turned 36 that my world began to unravel. Slow at first, and then suddenly, all at once, long-buried memories that had been concealed in the depths of my mind for survival now surfaced, shooting to the forefront of my mind.

Some might say that my struggles started with my father’s murder when I was 16, but the truths were more complex than that. The real story goes much deeper.

Despite my entrepreneurial success and a seemingly perfect life in the United States, a shadow lingered, trapping me in despair, addiction, and disconnection. That shadow started to disappear when I dared to go to the darkest corners of my mind and past.

In this audio, you will learn about my story and be provided a portal to unlock your own story. This book is a roadmap for you to break free from your hidden barriers. For me, what I desperately sought was hidden in my childhood, and I dug deep, embarking on a wild ride through various treatments - some conventional, others quite unconventional. The truths I uncovered transformed my life.

Your path might look different, but the destination is the same - a life brimming with meaning and love.

You’ll be captivated, educated, and forever changed.

Emotional journey

Melissa talks about her journey in life, the ups and downs and what can be done to move forward if you are in a similar journey.

Potent and Engaging

It took me a while to pinpoint what is so special about the way this book is written. Simply put, it’s written by a healed woman. While Melissa endured some unspeakable things, her story is delivered with such authenticity, dignity and power that I never felt pity for her. Nor did I compare my own trauma to hers and dismiss it as relatively trivial and undeserving of attention. Rather I felt as if she were giving me permission to explore and address my trauma with the same significance while demystifying plant medicine as a pathway to do so. Melissa’s voice is endearing. Her truth is raw and captivating. You will feel her characters come alive and empathize with them all. Thank you for one of the best personal growth books I’ve experienced. I wish all medicine were served so eloquently.

Touching and Impactful

I could not stop listening to this book . Not only is her voice velvet smooth but her story draws you in. So many twists and turns that paint a picture of her traumatic life and the resilience to rise up . Her self-discovery and authentic healing experiences are a great guide for anyone seeking inner peace and a path to heal .

A Soul-Stirring Journey Through Healing and Self-Discovery

Melissa's book is an extraordinary read, one that I found myself pausing on multiple occasions, not because it was difficult to understand, but because it hit so close to home. Her story, with its deep exploration of emotional wounds, family dynamics, and personal struggles, mirrored much of my own life. It’s rare to find a book that can evoke both healing and reflection in such an impactful way.

Melissa’s experiences with anxious and avoidant attachment styles, her longing for parental approval, and her journey toward emotional freedom felt like reading a chapter of my own life. Her descriptions, especially of her father’s favoritism and the pressure she felt to achieve academically, really tugged at my heartstrings. Melissa's relentless drive to be the best mirrored my own path as an overachiever, and I could identify so deeply with her emotional home—where being obedient felt like survival.

One of the most profound parts of the book for me was Melissa’s healing journey, including her transformative experience with ayahuasca. Her bravery in facing deep-seated pain resonated with me, even more so because of my own similar, yet less courageous, encounter with the practice. The emotional farewell to her father was another powerful moment that brought me to tears, reminding me of my own family relationships and the complexity of letting go.

What sets this book apart from many others is its ability to speak to those who have faced significant challenges in life. It offers hope, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we can emerge stronger, more self-aware, and with a clearer sense of our future. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking healing, understanding, and growth. Melissa beautifully demonstrates that no matter the pain, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.

This book may be hard to read for those who have suppressed their emotions, but that’s exactly why it’s so powerful. It digs deep into wounds, only to reveal the beauty of healing on the other side. Melissa’s journey shows us that we are not alone in our struggles, and that by confronting our past, we can pave the way for a brighter, more empowered future.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has endured life’s hardships and is searching for hope, healing, and a path forward. Melissa’s story is proof that even the most difficult experiences can lead to incredible growth and transformation.
