Listen Later

Today is day two of our special anniversary series + we are welcoming Melissa Ward back to the show! This conversation is from February of 2024, and was one of my favorite episodes! Melissa and I talked about her career in the pharmaceutical industry, how she started blogging, how to always be growing, and not get stuck in your ways. 

Melissa is a mom who lives in North Carolina with her husband and two kids. Armed with a degree in Fashion and Textile Management from NC State University, Melissa's career journey took an unexpected turn when she went to work for start-up pharmaceutical companies for over 10 years following graduation.

In 2020 Melissa begin her own small business journey part-time. Fueled by her passion for finding deals on items for home, style, and kids, she decided to start her own blog and Instagram account, @preppygoods.

Before long, Melissa took the plunge to full-time content creation, transforming her love for discovering budget-friendly hidden-gems into a career. Her curated content revolves around showcasing finds from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target, as well as highlighting lesser-known treasures from small businesses.

Whether you're into home decor, fashion inspiration, or kid-friendly goodies, Melissa has you covered. You can explore her curated picks for preppy grandmillennials on her website, www.preppygoods.com, or connect with her on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, all under the handle @preppygoods. Y'all are going to love my episode with Melissa!
