Even your joyful, fearless (if you've listened to ALL the episodes about my absurd fears of ice and falling, you're probably shaking your head at that one!) podcast host can feel overwhelmed sometimes. Today's episode is

Sometimes you never know what something is going to be like until you are in it. Right? We had a new dynamic this week -- just me and the twins for a night -- and it surprised me. I love being surprised and I love the re

And here we are at graduation. I keep trying to wrap my head around the fact that my oldest child will no longer be living in my home full time in just a couple months. It's not really sinking in. Today, let's talk about

I kind of laughed writing 'summer bodies' as the title of today's episode because, if you've listened to even one of my podcast episodes, you could predict that this episode is most certainly NOT about how to achieve the

I started my newsletter five years ago. Friends, that is crazy! Today is the story of how one starts a business literally out of thin air. And, a huge thank you to my amazing mother-in-law, Karen, for editing every singl

After over 300 episodes, you can probably guess how this is going to -- Melissa is going to use the word 'treasure' but there will be no mention of actual treasure, gold, emeralds, Cortes, etc. Well.... you would be righ

Well, if you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know when I ask a question like: Can you become a beach person? -- the answer is most likely, 'yes!' So, I don't think it's much of a spoiler to

Today's episode is about a memory, really more of a thought, that just sticks in my brain. I couldn't even tell you what I had for dinner last night and, yet, this image from three years ago just sticks around. It's a li

Yes, I know it's early June for you listeners and here I am talking about Mother's Day. But I would say this episode could apply to any special day -- birthdays, anniversaries, Flag Day! A day for YOU can really get us t

Believe it or not, your fearless leader/podcast host (me) had never actually attended a retreat for herself until now. Well… that’s partially untrue. But still, I did it! I finally went on a retreat, and I’m still thinki

Yes, I know we all do it -- we like to try and predict the future. I am definitely guilty of it. Today I share a recent story where I could not have predicted the outcome. A good lesson for me to stop trying. Be surprise

After Tuesday's episode about the backstory, today I finally share a bit about the April retreat. There's always a theme, a take away that comes from each one -- and this one was no different! Thanks so much for listenin

Today’s episode is a little backstory on how I started leading retreats in the first place. I’ve always found origin stories fascinating -- the unexpected ways things come to be. Spoiler: I never intended to lead retreat

For full disclosure, I do begin today’s episode with some bowling talk. I mean, we can’t go too long without talking about bowling! But the primary focus is what happens when we unravel. We all do it — reach a point wher

Yes! Ben went to the prom. Let’s talk about the prom -- I know for some people it can be this big, magical event: a defining moment, a before-and-after experience. For me, it wasn’t. I don’t think it was for Ben either.

Today's episode started with me thinking about spring and my dogwood tree, and somehow ended up spiraling into an episode about time flying, my boys growing up, and how the goal of motherhood is this beautiful, brutal ki

So, you may think more or less of me after today’s episode -- which features teenage boys, a drone, and some very questionable judgment. Spoiler alert: everyone is fine and no one is going to jail, but the whole experien

Yes -- today is all about money. I could probably do dozens of episodes about this topic, but in this one I’m sharing a bit of the history of money -- from cowrie shells to crypto. And along the way, we might start to se

Today's episode is inspired by words by Bonnitta Roy (and shared by my friend, Cara Bradley): Go Slow, Stay Wide, Don't Chase. I think we all need permission to slow down and stop pushing. Me especially! Thanks so much f

I love the idea of being spontaneous and go-with-the-flow but, the truth is, I'm not. I love planning. I love structure. I love being prepared. So, after many years, I've decided to stop apologizing for it -- this is jus
