  • Melissa is AMAZING!

    Melissa has been one of my greatest supporters, and a woman I'm proud to know and call a friend. As the founder of the Embracing Layers Network, Melissa passionately provides resources, experts, and whatever information that would be helpful for women of all ages to know. I happen to be one of those "regulars," since my original podcast interview with her in 2023. I've been on multiple panels on various topics, and currently appreciate Melissa's feature of my debut memoir in her Substack Book Cl... more

  • UnshakableMe

    Melissa Crook is a great host and has a wealth of knowledge. We all want the "quick fix" but that doesn't lead to lasting change. It is through embracing the layers that you truly find your power and it was a joy sit down and unpack FEEL with Melissa.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Are You Becoming? Self-Trust, Confidence & Embracing What’s Next with Tina B. Coleman
Q: How has embracing your layers and aging shaped your work, including your book?
She explains that aging is a catalyst for creativity and reinvention, not a decline. Writing the book was a divine inspiration, reframing menopause and midlife as opportunities for empowerment, curiosity, and community-building among women, not as a loss of vitality.
Who Are You Becoming? Self-Trust, Confidence & Embracing What’s Next with Tina B. Coleman
Q: What sparked your shift toward unapologetically prioritizing yourself and moving to Mexico?
A sequence of personal losses and a severe travel-triggered realization pushed her to reassess what she wanted from life. She describes a near-death accident, the passing of loved ones, and a decision born of intuition to relocate to Mexico, choosing experiences over security and embracing a lifestyle aligned with her values.
Who Are You Becoming? Self-Trust, Confidence & Embracing What’s Next with Tina B. Coleman
Q: Tell us about your self-care journey and how it influences your life today.
Tina describes a lifelong commitment to healing practices—massage, yoga, Reiki, and other therapies—that helped her cope with trauma, injuries, and a demanding life. She emphasizes slowing down, rebuilding a nervous-system balance, and using restorative practices to support her physical and emotional well-being, especially as she navigates menopause and midlife transitions.
Self Care, Reinvention, and Living Unfiltered with Kara Vaval
Q: What has healing taught you about your inner child and operating in the world?
Healing revealed multiple inner versions influencing behavior; therapy helped identify the age at which I felt triggered and taught me to meet that inner child with love, integrating those parts so I can act as my truest self in relationships and endeavors.
Self Care, Reinvention, and Living Unfiltered with Kara Vaval
Q: How have boundaries evolved in your relationships, especially with your daughter?
Boundaries evolved from people-pleasing to energy protection, teaching my daughter to be an 'energy snob' who guards what she gives attention to; this preserves her energy for what truly matters and models self-respect.
