What if the secret to stronger relationships with your kids — and yourself — is as simple as presence?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing The Presence Experiment — a three-step practice you can use anytime to put down distractions, look up, and truly connect. Whether you’re with your child, a loved one, or even by yourself, this experiment is a reminder that presence changes everything.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode:

• Why presence is the most underrated form of power we have
• The 3 simple steps of The Presence Experiment you can try today
• How to create deeper family connection in just a few minutes a day
• Why reducing screen time (for you and your kids) opens the door to better conversations
• The inspiration behind The Connection Book and how it gives families the words to connect when they don’t know where to start

I wrote The Connection Book: 33 Prompts to Help You and Your Child Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper for parents, caregivers, and anyone who wants to build meaningful relationships with kids of any age. Inside you’ll find ready-to-use conversation starters that help children feel seen, heard, and deeply supported — while making family time more intentional and joyful.

It’s here! My brand-new book, The Connection Book: 33 Prompts to Help You and Your Child Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper, has officially been released.

This book poured through me and I can't believe it's finally here!

I created it for children and the grown ups who love them — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors, teachers, and caregivers — to reconnect with the children you love in a world that’s full of noise and distraction.

Inside, you’ll find 33 prompts designed to spark real conversations, strengthen bonds, and bring presence back to everyday moments like dinnertime, car rides, and bedtime. These aren’t surface-level chats — they’re invitations to talk about identity, values, dreams, boundaries, fears, and joys.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

✨ Why I wrote this book now (and why another one is still waiting on the shelf).

✨ What I’ve noticed about our “connection deficit” in everyday life — from phones at the dinner table to AI-generated birthday messages.

✨ How our devices have stolen presence, and what it costs us when listening becomes a lost art.

✨ Why true connection is our birthright — and how we can reclaim it with the children we love.

I truly believe connection is the medicine we all need right now. And this book is my love letter to every child who deserves to be seen, heard, and known — and to every brave grown-up who chooses presence over distraction.

(Available in both hardcover and paperback — the perfect gift for the people you love most.)

If this book speaks to you, I would be so grateful if you shared it with a friend, a parent, a teacher, or anyone who craves more connection in their lives.

Because when we reconnect with each other, we begin to heal the world.

What would happen if you started showing up like you — exactly as you are — were already enough?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting real about something I call “fix-it culture.” It’s the sneaky belief that we (or the people we love) are broken and need repairing before we can live our fullest lives. Spoiler alert: it’s an illusion — and it’s exhausting.

This conversation was sparked by a private coaching session where I kept hearing the phrase “fix it.” It got me thinking about how deeply this mindset is baked into our self-talk, parenting, and even our work as mentors and coaches. So today, we’re breaking it down and reframing it completely.

Here’s what we explore:

• The illusion of brokenness and how society trains us to believe we’re incomplete
• Why wholeness is our birthright — we are born with nothing missing and nothing wrong
• Swapping “fix it” language for “evolve” — the powerful shift from lack to growth
• A reflection on Coldplay’s Fix You and why love isn’t about repair
• The truth that we can’t “fix” anyone — not our kids, not our clients, not our friends
• How parents, coaches, and girls’ empowerment leaders can hold space without trying to solve or repair
• The impact of modeling self-love and personal evolution instead of perfection
• Reframe questions to try this week for yourself and the people you lead

And… I share a little teaser about Book Baby #3, coming out next week! This one is for children and the grown-ups who love them — a beautiful tool for connection you can share with the kids in your life.

What if the way you feel in one area of your life is the secret to success in every other part?

Hey beautiful soul, in today’s episode of Empowering Her, I’m diving into a truth that I’ve experienced again and again: how we do one thing is how we do everything. When we align our energy and move through life from a place of joy, freedom, and full-body alignment, we don’t just feel better—we attract better.

I’m sharing the story of how a spontaneous one-month stay in the tiniest Manhattan apartment became a catalyst for one of my most expansive seasons yet—enrollments flowed in, dream clients appeared out of nowhere, and even a podcast episode with Rebecca Minkoff came to life through one aligned decision and a whole lot of joy.

You’ll hear:

• The ripple effect of choosing pleasure and inspiration—even in tiny ways
• Why energy is the most underrated (and most powerful) business strategy
• How living from joy sparked major wins in my business, creativity, and relationships
• A peek into the origin story behind one book I almost finished… and the one I did finish and will be publishing soon
• A loving challenge to reconnect with your personal joy and follow what lights you up

Whether you’re building a business, calling in your next season of life, or just craving more magic—this episode is your reminder that alignment is the portal. It’s never just about where you are, but how you feel while you’re there.

Your Empowered Action Step:

After listening, take one tiny step today that lights you up. Something that feels good. Something just for you. Because that’s where the magic begins.

P.S. If you’re loving this podcast, I’d love to gift you a cappuccino. ☕

Ever feel like the world is just… too much?

Same. But here's the truth: your light isn’t meant to hide—it’s meant to lead.

Hey love,

It’s Melody, and in this drive-time riff, I’m getting real about something that came up in my Zumba class (yes, inspiration can strike anywhere). A conversation with a woman I admire reminded me why it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the world—and exactly why that means we need to shine brighter than ever.

In this quick but powerful episode, I’m diving into:

✨ Why your energy gets hijacked by fear-driven social content

✨ How algorithms are feeding your anxiety—and how to break the loop

✨ The power of being a light in heavy, chaotic times

✨ Real ways to show up with love, grace, and hope—without burning out

Whether you’re feeling the weight of the news, your social feed, or something closer to home, this is your reminder that even the smallest spark can shift the entire room.

This episode is for you if:

• You're emotionally drained from what you're consuming
• You’re craving connection, light, and a deeper sense of purpose
• You want simple, real-life ways to feel empowered again

💫 PS: Want a cappuccino on me?

Let’s go shine—especially when it’s hardest.

Melody 💛

Who are you when there are no likes, no audience, no one to impress—just you and your own company?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting honest about what it means to live in alignment when no one’s around to applaud. In a world where so much of what we see is curated for public approval, I want to talk about what it looks like to embody kindness, sisterhood, and integrity when it’s just you and your thoughts.

Inside this conversation, you’ll hear:

• A reflection on showing up in real integrity—even when it’s not seen or celebrated
• What it means to actually be a girls’ girl
• My personal struggles with sharing online vs. keeping what’s sacred, sacred
• How we can become the kind of women we’d want the next generation to look up to

✨ If this message hits home and you know you’re meant to be one of the women leading the next generation of girls, this is your final chance to join the waitlist for the private launch of the GiRLiFE Academy.

This is the lowest pricing we’ve ever offered, and we’re only sharing the details with those on the live waitlist. This round will not be promoted on social media or anywhere else.

Is your all-or-nothing mindset secretly holding you back from the life—and impact—you’re here to create?

In this week’s episode of the Empowering Her podcast, I’m unpacking the one mindset I see blocking so many women from stepping into their power, sharing their voice, and building the purpose-driven life or business they dream about. Whether you’re navigating a personal challenge, a new season of growth, or considering becoming a girls’ empowerment coach, this conversation is your invitation to shift how you show up.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why the “all-or-nothing” mentality is keeping women stuck

• What to do when perfectionism gets in the way of purpose

• How to take aligned, sustainable action toward your dreams

• The trait I see in every successful GiRLiFE empowerment coach

• A real-life update on what’s been going on behind the scenes in my own life

What if one woman’s healing could create a ripple that reaches girls around the world?

22 years ago, I discovered the work of Louise Hay — and it completely transformed my life.

Her teachings on self-love, affirmations, and the power of our inner dialogue became the foundation for how I live, lead, and serve.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how Louise’s work became the catalyst for everything I do — from creating my first girls empowerment workshops, to founding the GiRLiFE Academy, where I now support women in becoming girls’ empowerment leaders in their own communities.

And before Louise passed, I had the honor of meeting her — and sharing how her words have impacted hundreds of girls through the work I’ve passed forward.

It was one of the most meaningful moments of my life — a full-circle reminder that our healing isn’t just for us. It becomes a gift we pass on.

If you’re curious about empowering the next generation, or if you’ve ever dreamed of leading purpose-driven work that lights you up, this episode will speak to your soul.

✨ And if you're feeling called to this mission...

I’ll be opening a pop-up enrollment for the GiRLiFE Academy very soon — but it’s only for those on the waitlist.

This is a private, limited-time opportunity to step into girls empowerment coaching and start building a business that changes lives — including your own.
