25| From Breakdown to Dream Home: My Journey of Surrender and Trust

In this heartfelt episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa Wilkinson gets real about the breaking point that changed everything. She takes us back to March 2019—a month packed with launches, travel, business commitments, and the overwhelming weight of trying to do it all. But when the stress finally reached its peak, she found herself on her knees, surrendering to God in a way she never had before.

Melissa shares the raw emotions of that moment, the unexpected turn her family's dreams took, and the incredible way God worked behind the scenes. What looked like a breakdown was actually a breakthrough—leading her to a home, a season, and a purpose far greater than she could have imagined.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, lost, or unsure of what God is doing in your life, this episode will remind you: He's working, even in the messy middle.
