Join us for a captivating conversation with Melanie Lane Durham, a remarkable mom, wife, and entrepreneur from Northern California who has beautifully blended her passion for beauty with holistic healing. Starting as an esthetician, Melanie evolved her career into owning a one-of-a-kind hair and healing studio, where she combines plant-based, non-toxic hair care with energy healing practices like Reiki and chakra balancing. She shares how the COVID-19 shutdowns inspired her to create a more intentional and personal space for her clients, both in-person and virtually, offering everything from hair loss support to Oracle card readings.

In this episode, we also dive into Melanie’s inspiring new children’s book, Everyday Magic—written during a deeply challenging time in her life. The story serves as a gentle, empowering reminder to find magic in the ordinary through mindfulness and gratitude. As we explore her journey from the beauty industry to publishing, Melanie opens up about imposter syndrome, the courage it takes to act despite fear, and how she defines true empowerment. Tune in for a rich, honest conversation about authenticity, healing, and the magic of living fully aligned.
