Finding Purpose & Power Through Adversity w/ Melissa L. Atkinson | Ep 043
Ask a question for the show
On this episode, we tap in with Melissa L. Atkinson. I ran across Melissa on Threads with the simple notion of her wanting to sit on the other side of the table as an interviewee. I checked out her podcast and on the first episode, I had to stop and see what episode I was on. She gave out so much of her life experience in the very first episode I knew this was a person that was perfect to have on the show.
Enjoy this episode as we dive into adversity, finding her passion/purpose, and what music we throw on when we have the aux cord.
Melissa L. Atkinson is a podcast host, content creator, and authentic storyteller who turned her life-changing trauma into triumph. As a multi-platform creator, she reaches 800K monthly views across social media while hosting "Hard Wig, Soft Life," a podcast that has grown to 1000+ downloads since its relaunch 10 weeks ago.
A veteran and former HR professional, Melissa's story includes overcoming homelessness, multiple arrests, and literally splitting her face open in a car accident. Instead of letting these experiences define her, she built a platform where she shares heartbreaking realities while showing growth and resilience - sometimes even laughing at things that once brought her to her knees.
Through her podcast, Melissa creates space for others to share their stories, featuring Emmy nominees like Tracey Baker-Simmons, and Giovonnie Samuels, CEOs, pastors, and entrepreneurs who've turned their pain into power. Her audience connects with her raw honesty about rebuilding life completely while building authentic community.
