From palliative care nurse to Chief Energy Officer, Melonie's journey has been one in which she had to learn to value herself with a focus on allowing herself to receive, not just to give to others.
Through her own experience of burnout, anxiety, and depression, Melonie learned that there must be another way to Be and Do in life. To learn how to achieve self-love rather than self-judgment and criticism.
As a Success Mentor, author, and keynote speaker, Melonie supports high achievers to learn how to achieve in self-love now rather than having to learn the lessons through pain and suffering. Knowing no one is like you and you being you makes the universe whole.

The very first episode - and it's all just me saying hello... I was told it was what I should do...and while I am usually not someone who does as they are told, I thought as 'they' know more about this than I do, I probably should follow their advice! 
It may or may not have been such a good idea.
Apologies for the audio quality in this one - had a tech glitch. I'll be getting it re-edited and reloaded ASAP, but hey, imperfect action is better than no action at all, isn't that right? 
Enjoy!

When Tommy Nyawir was just 14 years old, he said 'hello' to a stranger. That conversation changed the course of his life. The ripple effect of that conversation is now changing the lives of many more people around him in Kibera Slum in Kenya.
Listen to this amazing story of how one individual's wish to repay a life-changing gift is the basis for paying it forward and creating a ripple of change through the provision of quality education, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities for children, youth, women, and men of Kibera Slum.
