It's not about having one savior figure, but rather embracing feedback from multiple sources. 2/ Steve believes in trial and error and encourages clients to explore ideas without immediate dismissal. It's all about allowing those ideas to breathe and grow, without shutting them down prematurely. 3/ Steve Mellor opens up about the personal battle with self-judgment and the importance of pushing that judgment aside to try again. Sometimes, we're our own worst enemies, and it's a journey to overcome that. 4/ Why does Steve now coach instead of going at it alone? He shares his mind shift and the value of coaching for growth.

It involved moments of chaos and self-reflection. But ultimately, he found love for himself and happiness by getting out of his way. 10/ Steve didn't have guidance during those dark times, but he learned to trust his intuition and better understand how people truly received him.
