“Sometimes, it’s necessary to do something that looks radical to the outside world, but might just be right for you.” - Melissa Kim Corter

This Real Talk enchants with wisdom on the importance of stillness and the Sacred Pause, intentionally making room for soul-soothing magic, and the power and usefulness of imagination.

The lovely Melissa Kim Corter treats us with her second appearance on Real Talk, and dazzles with her profound insight. Melissa is an international bestselling author, speaker and mentor.


Here are some key topics we cover on this episode:

  • Personal discovery through relocation: Melissa's move from smaller communities in Arizona to New York City has been a journey of self-discovery. Relocation can be more than a geographical shift; it can also be an emotional and psychological journey.
    • Business evolution and transformation: Melissa's business underwent a dramatic change, symbolized as a death and rebirth, revealing growth opportunities and a newfound focus on her well-being. Stripping away superficial elements and focusing on core values can lead to authentic growth and alignment with your true self.
      • The importance of stillness and pause: Melissa emphasizes the need to recognize the value in stillness, differentiating it from nothingness or laziness. In a culture that often rewards constant movement and hustle, the idea of embracing stillness and taking a sacred pause can be transformative.
        • Magic, connection, and intuition: Melissa defines magic as a deep connection to something greater and alignment with self. Magic is about finding alignment and trusting that inner voice, guiding you through life's complexities.
          • Reconnecting with magic through rituals: Melissa shares how using rituals such as journaling and sensory experiences can help us reconnect with the magic within. Rituals infuse everyday activities with meaning and intention, transforming them from chores into sacred practices.
            • Power and use of imagination: Melissa discusses the importance of imagination in healing and self-exploration, providing examples involving stories and fairy tales to facilitate connection. Through stories, you can find resonance with characters, offering a safe psychological distance to explore your challenges and invite healing.
              • Confronting discomfort and frustration: Melissa emphasizes the opportunity within frustration and discomfort to confront these emotions and grow from them. Facing discomfort, rather than avoiding it, allows you to work through underlying issues.

                • If you’re someone who’s invested in your personal development journey, you’ll find this Real Talk an incredible tool for deeper self-discovery and invaluable growth!
