Stop Waiting to Be Extraordinary

Melissa Grace always wanted to be a writer. But for years, she believed writer was a title reserved for extraordinary people — and she thought she was ordinary.So she did what many of us do. She pursued other paths. Tried different things. Kept her dream quietly on the shelf.Then 2020 arrived. Grief, isolation, and the impending loss of her grandmother changed everything. Needing somewhere to put her energy — and her heart — Melissa started writing.Fast forward to today, and Melissa Grace has written seven books.In this episode of Drink More Water, Amanda and Melissa talk about grief and what it teaches us, the courage it takes to begin before you feel ready, and the moment you stop disqualifying yourself from the life you want. Because extraordinary people aren’t born that way — they’re ordinary people who decide to claim the dream and do the work.Follow Melissa Grace on Instagram at @heymelissagraceFollow Amanda on Instagram at @askamandaadamsDon't forget: new episodes drop every Tuesday!
