ReStructured with Melissa Terito episodes
- ReStructured S1E1: Remote Days Your Way
In this first official episode of ReStructured, I’m sharing one of the earliest boundaries I ever set as a leader — taking one remote day a week — and how it completely shifted my work, my mindset, and my energy. 🧠⚡
Long before remote work became the norm, I struggled with the fear of being judged, questioned, or seen as less committed. But what started as a small schedule change turned into a powerful leadership decision — one that helped me stop running on fumes and start showing up with intention.
If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or stuck in the cycle of “being available 24/7,” this episode is for you. It’s not just about remote days — it’s about taking back control and redefining what it really means to lead. 💼✨

44 min - Louisiana Ladies S5E5: What's Happening to Louisiana Ladies? Goodbye for now...
Well, after four years of Louisiana Ladies, we have decided to take a little break. As hard as it is to take a step back from the mic, it is definitely needed. Between Melissa and Lainey working at a CPA firm during our busiest time of year, and Kate constantly being busy, we decided that a podcast pause was in order. This is not goodbye forever! We will still be active on social media, continue our book club and lagniappe, and build this community. We can't wait to record episodes again one day, but until then, we have four years' worth of episodes y'all can revisit (or catch up on)! Thank you thank you thank you for your continued love and support. We couldn't do it without each and every one of our guests and listeners. We love y'all!
