In this episode, Melissa sits down with Kendall Toole to break down the competitive walls that can arise between women, especially in the fitness industry, and discuss the “unwellness in wellness” that often goes unspoken. They emphasize that there’s room for everyone to shine in their own way and dive into how they’ve dealt with triggers. Kendall shares her journey from landing a job at Peloton without ever teaching a cycling class to navigating her exit from the company. She talks about trusting signs in life—whether it’s career moves or knowing her boyfriend was "the one." With a "let's see" mentality, Kendall opens up about not forcing things, leaning into fears, and her early battles with anxiety brought on by OCD. She candidly discusses her experiences with depression, a suicide attempt, and ultimately, how taking the leap to bet on herself changed her life.

In this solo episode, Melissa explores the concept of change and our natural resistance to it. She reflects on her recent work with a transformation coach which has led to profound insights, emphasizing that true transformation only occurs when we confront and move through challenges and learn to focus our energy on what fuels us. She discusses the importance of being radically transparent with self, especially when you start to feel disconnected or drained. This self-awareness is crucial for identifying what isn't working and when it’s necessary to make changes. Living in a neutral, easeful state is the goal, and it requires understanding what shines your light and what dims it. Remember, you're in the driver's seat of your life. Evaluate how you spend your day, even with the small things, and follow what feels good to cultivate happiness. Change is a constant, and it's essential to listen to the signs as they guide your path.

In this solo episode, Melissa explores how we can all learn to deeply trust ourselves, no matter what questions or challenges life presents. Inspired by a Q&A from Instagram, she shares insights on building a strong relationship with yourself, allowing you to show up as the person you aspire to be each day. Melissa emphasizes that doubt is inevitable, but instead of going opinion shopping, we should sit with it, look inside ourselves, and let the answers reveal themselves. If overwhelm hits, it’s ok—own it and don’t hesitate to ask for help. Radical transparency is essential to cultivating trust—both within yourself and in your relationships, because without self-trust, trusting others becomes impossible. When you do find clarity, move forward with confidence. Melissa encourages us to follow our instincts when change is necessary and to use moments of clarity as fuel for growth.
