Melissa felt guilty when she started to smile.​As a former educator, Melissa felt trapped by the politics, paperwork, and constricting schedule of the education system.Yet after building a 7-figure business, traveling the world, launching a podcast, writing a book (more to come), and coaching thousands of individuals, she has found one thing to be true for all of us…We have the power to create our own happiness, regardless of circumstances. And there are certain processes and strategies effective in doing so.It’s not just a “think positive” method or a “go harder” approach. I intertwine a dance of intangibles around our energy management with tangibles such as action steps, communication strategies, and ways to feel our best.Growth isn't always forward progress. It's messy. It's hard. But it is worth it. And while you work your way to whatever goal you are pursuing, just keep showing up. Life is too short to feel stuck.Connect with MelissaLearn more at Melissa’s websiteJoin the conversation on InstagramCredits Podcast edited and mixed by 51 features.
