In this episode, I sit down with writer, former podcaster, world traveler, and author of The People You Meet, Melissa, for an honest conversation about taking up space without waiting to feel fearless.

We talk about the quiet ways self-sabotage shows up, why success can feel just as uncomfortable as failure, and what it's like to create: podcasting, writing, and sharing your story when self-doubt is still present. Melissa reflects on recording over 180 episodes, writing a memoir that reached amazon best sellers list, learning to receive praise, and allowing her story to be enough. This conversation is a reminder that you don't have to be fearless to take up space, you just have to stop shrinking.

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren from Resilience Rally for an open, heartfelt conversation about mental health, resilience, and what it really looks like to build something meaningful. We talk about the story behind Resilience Rally, why suicide prevention and mental health advocacy are at the core of its mission, and how community can play a powerful role in healing. Lauren also shares insights on Dry January and our relationship with alcohol, the behind-the-scenes realities of starting a nonprofit, and what resilience looks like in everyday life, not just during hard moments.

This episode is honest, hopeful, and grounding, offering both encouragement and practical perspective for anyone navigating their mental health or feeling called to make a difference.
