An Inspired Chat with Mylira Green of Hampton Roads, VA

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Mylira Green. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Mylira, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, spending intentional time with my loved ones—especially my partner and kids—has been bringing me so much joy. Whether it’s quiet moments at home, deep conversations, or spontaneous laughter, these moments remind me of the beauty in presence. I’ve also been enjoying my spiritual practices, journaling, and pouring into my own healing and growth. It’s been refreshing to prioritize my joy outside of work.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Mylira Green, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Transformative Speaker, and the founder of The Metamorphosis Healing Experience and M. Green Enterprises. My work bridges clinical expertise, spiritual insight, and coaching to help people heal, lead, and live fully. What makes my brand unique is the way I blend evidence-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and spiritual tools like Reiki, meditation, and prayer to serve both individuals and organizations. I specialize in helping leaders and families break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Right now, I’m focused on expanding my speaking platform and offering healing spaces that empower lasting transformation.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
A part of me that has served its purpose but must now be released is the version of myself that tried to earn love by being a constant “human doer.” For years, I believed that if I showed up, gave enough, fixed enough, or carried others’ burdens, I would be seen, valued, and loved. I made myself responsible for people’s happiness, thinking their approval confirmed my worth. But that mindset only led to burnout, disappointment, and deep emotional disconnection—from myself and others.

It blinded me from recognizing who was genuinely showing up for me. I was so busy proving I was enough that I couldn’t receive love freely. But God has been showing me that I don’t need to perform to be accepted. He didn’t call me to be “captain save a hoe” looking for claps and applause every time I give—He called me to transform, to be love, and to lead with authenticity.

Today, I release that version of me who thought love had to be earned. I now rest in the truth that I am worthy just by being. I’ve been called, chosen, and stamped by God. And from that place of identity, I can allow others to love me, support me, and pour into me without fear or control. I choose to show up fully—not for performance, but for presence.

When did you last change your mind about something important?
I recently had a powerful “aha” moment during a therapy session—right after a mini meltdown. I was overwhelmed, convinced that people weren’t showing up for me in the ways I needed. But in the quiet after the storm, as I allowed myself to pause and invite God into the moment, I was hit with a gentle but undeniable truth: it’s not that people aren’t showing up—it’s that my trauma was blinding me from seeing how they already are.

As a therapist, I know how cognitive distortions—especially those rooted in trauma—can skew our perception of reality. I’ve walked countless clients through these realizations. But even with all that knowledge, I had to confront the fact that I, too, had allowed old patterns to block me from fully receiving love and support. I realized there was still room for me to expand the conditions I placed on what love should look like, how support should be offered, and how connection should feel.

This moment reminded me—and I want to remind my fellow helping professionals—that we are not exempt from the same healing we facilitate in others. Many of us are walking around feeling isolated or unseen, when in truth, we are surrounded by people who are showing up. It may not be in the way we expected or thought we needed, but it’s still real, and it still counts.

If you’re feeling alone, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on who is truly in your circle. Pause. Breathe. Look again. Chances are, you’re not as alone as you feel—you may just be overdue for a fresh perspective.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
One belief I’m committed to—no matter how long it takes—is that suicide dies with me. That may sound intense, but I mean it with every fiber of my being. For too long, too many people have struggled with feeling unseen, unworthy, or like their lives don’t matter. I know what that pain feels like, and I’ve watched others carry it in silence. The world has a way of stripping people of their value, teaching us through broken systems, trauma, and cultural conditioning that who we are is somehow not enough. I’ve made it my life’s mission to disrupt that lie.

I’m committed to building a world where people feel like their presence matters—where suicide is no longer the whispered exit but a defeated enemy. That commitment starts with me, my story, and the work I do every day. I believe one of the root causes of this despair is how disconnected people feel in the very places they should feel safe: the workplace and the church. That’s why I’ve devoted myself to healing those spaces—because what good is healing people if we keep sending them back into broken environments?

Through my psychotherapy session, coaching, healing practices, and leadership development, I help people unlearn harmful narratives and relearn their worth. My mission is to equip leaders, employees, ministry workers, and believers with tools to operate from a place of love, value, dignity, and respect. We can’t keep pretending that titles, productivity, or performance define a person’s worth. I want people to know who they are—fully and unapologetically—and extend that same grace and recognition to others.

Whether it takes years, decades, or the rest of my life, I will continue creating spaces where people remember they matter. And if my work can help even one person stay, love themselves a little deeper, or treat someone else with more compassion—then every step has been worth it.

Because when I die, suicide dies with me. And in its place, I pray I leave behind a legacy of love, life, and freedom.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
What I think people will most misunderstand about my legacy is how I integrated my spiritual practices with my Christian beliefs to transform lives. I know some will look at my journey and wonder how I could be both—a Christian minister who leads people to Christ and someone who practices Reiki, meditation, yoga, Qi Gong, sound healing, and even uses natal charts as tools. But what they may not understand is that I never chose one over the other—I chose to follow God, fully and freely, even when the path didn’t look traditional.

I’ve always known that God is not confined to church walls or ritual routines. He’s the Creator of everything—energy, movement, sound, breath, light, time, and space. I see Him in scripture, but I also feel Him in the vibrations of sound bowls, the stillness of meditation, and the wisdom embedded in the stars He placed in the sky. My spiritual practices aren’t in contradiction to my faith—they are expressions of it. They are invitations for people to experience God beyond religion and meet Him in the parts of themselves that traditional spaces may have overlooked, dismissed, or shamed.

People may misunderstand my legacy as confusing or contradictory—but what they’re witnessing is a bridge. I am the bridge between heaven and earth, sacred and practical, faith and healing. I’ve walked the hard road of deconstructing what I was taught so I could reconstruct what God actually showed me. And what He showed me is that transformation doesn’t come from rules, but relationship—and relationships thrive when we allow people the freedom to explore God in all the ways He reveals Himself.

So no, I don’t fit the mold of a “typical” minister. But that’s the beauty of it. I followed God’s voice, not man’s approval. And if people truly look at the fruit of my life—how hearts are healed, lives are saved, and people are reconnected to their Creator—they’ll see that I didn’t abandon Christianity… I simply embraced all of God.

My legacy may be misunderstood by some, but it will never be denied. Because it was led by the Spirit, built on love, and rooted in truth.
