✈️Episode 8 — Repeating the Cycle
with Melissa Shelton — Kelly’s Middle-School Bestie who studied Child Psychology.
What happens when the patterns we swore we’d outrun… start showing up in our own adult lives?
In this deeply personal episode of Cruising Altitude, Kelly sits down with Melissa Shelton, a child psychologist and lifelong friend who has seen her evolution from the very beginning — all the way back to middle school.
Together, they open up the early chapters of Kelly’s memoir:
Chapter 1 — Princess Kitty
Chapter 2 — Repeating the Cycle
This conversation explores:
✨ Childhood wounds that echo into adulthood
✨ Generational patterns of survival, perfection, and pain
✨ The moment you realize you’ve become what once hurt you
✨ The courage required to break a cycle — not repeat it
✨ How understanding our younger selves becomes the key to freedom
This episode is for anyone who has ever thought:
“I promised myself I’d be different… so why does this still feel the same?”
Because awareness is the first step.
Healing is the second.
And choosing a new legacy — that’s where the real magic begins. 💫
