  • Actionable, deep, and insightful

    Incredibly insightful podcast that’s so much more than a podcast. Episodes are paired with templates, guides, and ACTION. I also find Melisa’s way of speaking engaging, rich with insight instead of repeated fluff. Sometimes I believe she is inside my head as my internal monologue starts to say, “But Melisa! I can’t do that because…” and then she immediately names my hangup out loud…and then the solution.

    I was skeptical that I could implement meaningful changes in my consulting practice based on a podcast - but I was wrong. Melisa has so many insights and specific, actionable recommendations. And don’t overlook the crucial mindset work she always focuses on. So valuable!
