Braving the Unknown
12 Weeks to Loving the Life You Live
Meet with Melissa to see if this program is right for you!
LET ME GUESS.
YOU FEEL COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED WITH YOUR CAREER AND YOUR LIFE.
MAYBE YOU’RE…
Miserable in your job… Trapped in a job or career you don’t remember signing up for.
Unhappy with your life… You can’t imagine living this way for the rest of your life.
Doubting your faith or ideology… The belief system you’ve been operating in just isn’t working for you anymore.
Questioning relationships… Feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled in your current relationships.
YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE…
To let go of the past and embrace the future.
To set healthy boundaries in your relationships.
To choose yourself and your own happiness.
To live confidently and boldly as your truest self.
I HAVE A FEELING YOU MIGHT…
Wonder if you’ll ever experience true joy and feel genuinely happy about your life.
Desperately want to make a change, but don’t know what you REALLY want.
Feel anxious and unsure how to successfully chart a new path for yourself.
Already be grieving the loss of your old life - the safety and security of what you currently have.
Have hopes and dreams for your life that you’ve never spoken out loud. Maybe not even to yourself.
You’re not alone…
I completely get it.
It’s scary!
You’re realizing that you’ve been told A LOT of stories about how you’re supposed to feel and who you’re supposed to be.
In an effort to belong and fit “the mold”, you may have lost sight of who you really are.
You might even say to yourself, “I don’t even know exactly what I want. I just know I can’t keep doing what I’m doing now.”
And how is your inner critic treating you?
I imagine she is LOUD and unrelenting…
What if I told you that…
You absolutely CAN choose a different path for yourself. You CAN make meaningful change and live in alignment with your truest self. A life where you actually love the work you do (imagine that!) and look forward to each new day.
If COVID taught us anything, it’s that there are so many different ways we can live, work and exist in the world. It woke us up. Left us wanting more, something new and different. But for most of us, we’re afraid of what might happen if we actually make the change and go after the life we want to have.
“When I first started the program, I was struggling with anxiety, self-love, confidence, and connection to others. I had an important mental shift after just the first session. I knew that if I continued to show up and put in the work, I would see the results I'd been deeply desiring for years. One of the biggest changes I have witnessed in myself is more openness and curiosity when it comes to my relationships with others. I can now quiet my inner critic quickly and effectively! The shifts I experienced through this coaching experience have given me a good foundation to further build my confidence and connections to others! I have more self-love and overall peace within myself. I feel much closer to the grown-ass woman I envisioned myself as! This program has changed my life. If you are thinking about working with Melissa, JUST DO IT! She is an expert at fanning the flames of our long-hidden desires ♥️”

You might be asking…
“How DO I find real clarity and answers
about how to change my life?”
“How DO I build confidence and step into the
next highest version of myself?”
Hi there!
I’m Melissa, a Speaker and Certified Life Coach for women. I’m a former ultrareligious goody two-shoes, documentary lover, enneagram nerd, and proud dog mom to my fur child Major Payne.
My mission is to help women who feel completely unsatisfied with their careers and life they’re living choose a new exciting path for themselves so they wake up every day loving their job and loving their life.
A born leader, I have over 14 years of experience mentoring and leading women in a variety of settings. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Theology and received my life coaching certification through the Beautiful You Coaching Academy (BYCA), an Approved Coach Education Provider by the International Coaching Federation.
In addition to my experience and formal training, I have undergone hundreds of hours of my own personal therapy & coaching and continue to prioritize my own well-being so I can best serve my clients.
I’ve been right where you are now…
I spent most of my life caring WAY too much about what other people thought of me. Waiting for someone to tell me what to do. What the right decision was. How to be successful at this thing called “LIFE.” I let my inner critic drive the car and we were going nowhere fast.
In my early 30s I found myself in my “dream job”. I had sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to finally achieve a position in a meaningful career. But I was miserable. Just because I was capable of doing this job didn’t mean that I was happy or fulfilled in what I was doing every day.
Simultaneously, I was starting to understand how dissociated I was from my body. A slave to codependent behaviors formed from 30 years in fundamentalist religion. I decided that religious dogma didn’t serve me anymore, and left the only community that I’d ever known. I refused to make myself small anymore.
Turns out that this incredibly terrifying step into the unknown was the BEST thing I would ever do for myself. As I peeled off layer after layer of societal and childhood conditioning, I reclaimed my own power, embraced my calling to be a life coach and started thriving in life instead of just surviving.
I stepped into the next chapter of my life with confidence, joy & freedom.
And you can too.
Are you ready to transform your life?
Braving the Unknown
12 Weeks to Living a Life you Love
I’ve got you covered.
I promise that it is actually possible to wake up looking forward to your day.
To live your purpose with freedom and confidence.
In this program,
I will create a safe space where we can ask the right questions and dig DEEP. You will have many “ah ha!” moments along with moments that will deeply move you. Experience powerful mindset shifts that allow for more peace and joy in your everyday life. I will skillfully hold you as you allow yourself to expand and take up space like you never have before. I guarantee you will be amazed at all the juicy goodness that flows out once you finally give yourself permission to BE.
Over the course of the 12 weeks,
You’ll get clear on your core values and what really matters to you. Some of your relationships will deepen and flourish while others get the boundaries they need. You will tap into the well of your own inner wisdom and find the clarity you’ve desperately been seeking. Those around you will notice how confident you are becoming and how much you’ve changed! You will be lovingly held as you make big changes and start charting a new and exciting path for yourself. All while undergoing the transformation that you’ve been longing for, discarding what’s no longer working for you. Prepare to be surprised, delighted, and deeply moved by what we find on this journey together. And ultimately emerge with a renewed zeal for life.
What can you expect?
These soul expanding coaching sessions take place via Zoom for one hour every other week. Our initial goal setting session is 90 minutes where we take our time setting inspiring goals that will keep you motivated through the life of the coaching series. At the end of each session, we set some powerful actions that will propel you forward towards your goals. In between our meetings, you and I stay in contact via Whats App and/or email for ongoing support and encouragement.
“Melissa is a brilliant and compassionate life coach who really understands how to help you love your body, the person you're becoming, and the life you lead. I had the pleasure of working with Melissa as a life coach during a transitional and difficult season of my life. Her ability to both empathize with me and my situation as well as challenge me with compassion to stretch and grow helped me handle both a job and relationship loss/transition. Her patient and caring approach really helped prepare me to be able to handle every circumstance with grace. I will also miss her easy laugh and smile. I highly recommend Melissa as a life coach if you are needing that extra guidance and are ready to make a change to achieve the things in life you truly want.”

Here are the 6 powerful modules we will work through
during these 12 weeks together!
"When I first started working with Melissa, I had just come out of a pretty bad 6 month+ emotional slump. Right away I felt so connected to her and felt as though she really understood when I explained the stage I was in. Before working together, I was very rigid in how I approached my day to day life and struggled with confidence in a male-dominated workplace. Melissa tailored the coaching series to fit my needs perfectly and her gentle approach allowed me to learn so much about myself. I now feel empowered & confident in speaking up in my workplace and I continue to be optimistic about reaching my life goals. I am able to allow things to happen naturally, feeling calm in all areas of my life while being kind to myself. I finally have a clear path ahead and I know how to get there! Melissa’s coaching was encouraging, awakening & inspiring and I truly loved every moment of our time together."

“When I began coaching with Melissa, I was having difficulty after retirement to turn my hopes and dreams for the next season of my life into a reality. Melissa was masterful at inuiting what my needs and abilities were and easily adapted the process to meet me exactly where I was at. After coaching with Melissa, I know now that I have the right to a happy life and that I’m the master of my own journey. I have set and held several important boundaries, I’m much more hopeful about my relationship with money, and my eating habits and physical activities continue to improve. I also made the decision to close my business endeavor and am seeking to fulfill myself doing things I truly love. My relationships feel more joyful, comfortable and real. I have all but stopped self-destructive behavior and am eager to take positive action towards a happy life for myself. If you’re on the fence about doing a coaching series with Melissa, DO IT!”
~ Margaret Melvin, Retired Attorney at Law
Your Questions Answered!
Q: What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Great question! Life coaching is an industry with a lot of misconceptions about it. Therapists often guide clients to look into their past to facilitate healing. A life coach holds space for their clients to look to the future, meet big goals, feel empowered, and live a more fulfilling personal and professional life. A coach will guide you through a process of self-discovery while helping identify limiting beliefs and holding you accountable as you work towards your personal goals.
Q: I’m not super clear on what goals I might want to achieve with coaching but this program is resonating with me, is this program still for me?
Definitely! Most clients know they aren’t happy and want more out of life, but they don’t know exactly what goals they want to set in coaching. The Pre-Coaching Questionnaire will help you dig deep and uncover dreams and desires that are likely hiding just underneath the surface. Then we will chat about your answers and get clear on what goals you might want to set for your coaching series.
Q: What is your philosophy as a life coach and mentor?
One of my core beliefs is that inside ourselves, we already have all the wisdom and truth we will ever need. I learn just as much from my clients as they do from me! With a heart-centered approach, I create safe spaces for my clients to dig deep, unravel old stories and build a new paradigm for their life that works for THEM.
Q: Do you coach people outside of North America?
Yes, thanks to this tech age we are living in! The entire coaching series takes place via Zoom. You and I would work together to find times that work best for both of us within our time zones.
