From Shrinking to Publishing: Melissa Rodway on The People You Meet
from She Said This · host Josie
In this episode, I sit down with writer, former podcaster, world traveler, and author of The People You Meet, Melissa, for an honest conversation about taking up space without waiting to feel fearless.We talk about the quiet ways self-sabotage shows up, why success can feel just as uncomfortable as failure, and what it's like to create: podcasting, writing, and sharing your story when self-doubt is still present. Melissa reflects on recording over 180 episodes, writing a memoir that reached amazon best sellers list, learning to receive praise, and allowing her story to be enough. This conversation is a reminder that you don't have to be fearless to take up space, you just have to stop shrinking.
