under construction: the healing powers of inner renovations
I didn't just write this book. I lived it.
Under Construction: The Healing Powers of Inner Renovations is a transformative, deeply human guide for anyone standing in the rubble of a life transition—divorce, grief, burnout, trauma, exhaustion, or the quiet collapse that happens when you're carrying too much for too long.
Through the language of construction and home restoration, Melyssa McPulse walks readers step-by-step through the rebuilding of the self. From Site Inspection to Demolition, from Foundations to Mechanicals, and from Fixtures to Curb Appeal, this book turns healing into an approachable, visual, even empowering process.
Rooted in lived experience and written with tenderness, honesty, and hope, Melyssa offers practical exercises, emotional insight, and grounding advise that make the impossible feel possible again. You will learn how to strengthen your emotional wiring, repair foundational cracks, regulate your internal systems, upgrade your relationships, align your career with your purpose, rebuild your finances, and step boldly into the life you are meant to live.
Whether you feel broken, burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, this book is your blueprint.
Your life is not falling apart—it’s being rebuilt.
It’s time to renovate the rooms of your soul and create a home within yourself that is finally safe, whole, and yours.
