This Life-Changing Conversation Will Help You Make Peace With Who You Are

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Mel interviews Monrovia, a musician who escaped a brutal civil war in Liberia and came to the United States as a refugee. Monrovia discusses his journey of finding his identity through music, the importance of healing with others, and cultivating peace within oneself. He shares his experiences with survivor's guilt, shame, and the challenges of being adopted into a different culture, emphasizing the power of memory, continuation, and self-acceptance. Monrovia also recounts how he overcame his initial reluctance to pursue music professionally, driven by a desire to honor his heritage and connect with others through his Afro-Appalachian sound. He concludes the podcast with a live performance of his song "Crooked the Road."
