Okay, y’all… this one hit me right in the gut - in the best way. 

I got to sit down with the absolute powerhouse that is Melissa Dlugolecki and wow, just… wow. 

We went everywhere - grief, burnout, building big things without losing yourself, and why “should” might just be the most dangerous word in your vocabulary. 

She’s bold, she’s honest, and she’s proof that scar tissue tells a far better story than wounds ever could. 

You’re gonna walk away from this one a little shook and a lot inspired.

Highlights:

(06:43) After life support was removed

(10:15) The moment you drop the word ‘should’

(13:40) Grief taught me I’m entitled to nothing

(27:17) Failure? Nah, just really helpful feedback

(33:22) Millionaires vs. visible abs - you’ll cackle

(49:10) Branding is not your colour palette
