Melissa Steussy is a Seattle native recently residing in rural MN with her husband and son while her oldest is away at college. She is busy working on her first memoir “Let your Privates Breathe” to be released next year. In her downtime she is focused on her own mental health using avenues such as journaling, meditation, prayer and working out to help alleviate anxiety and depression. Melissa has been sober from drugs and alcohol for 20 years, and just began attending meetings for Adult Children of Alcoholics where she is finding a voice through grief and abandonment issues.
