This is such the perfect time for this episode!

Our guest this week is Dr. Melissa Parsons. 

Melissa is a pediatrician-turned-life coach who helps high-achieving women stop performing their lives and start living them with intention, calm, and self-trust. After more than 20 years in medicine, she recognized that many of the women she served—smart, capable, and deeply conscientious—were quietly exhausted from striving, self-criticism, and the constant pressure to be “better.”

Through her work and her popular podcast, Your Favorite You, Dr. Parsons invites women to build a kinder, steadier relationship with themselves—one rooted not in fixing or optimizing, but in self-belonging. Her coaching blends clinical insight, lived experience, and practical tools to help women step out of autopilot, reconnect with who they truly are, and create lives that feel spacious, grounded, and genuinely fulfilling.

It's easy to see how Melissa is warm, kind, funny and refreshingly honest.
