We Are Tired AF Podcast

Episode 2 - “From Outsider to Main Character: Mel’s Origin Story”

In this episode, Mel traces her journey from a childhood marked by not fitting anywhere to becoming a creator of true belonging and community. She opens up about growing up mixed race, navigating poverty, loneliness, and early trauma, and slowly learning to trust herself enough to step into spaces where she could finally feel seen. Her path through queer identity, chosen family, and spiritual exploration reveals how a lifetime of searching shaped the way she builds connection today.

The conversation reflects on personal growth and the relationships that transformed her life. Mel shares how community became the antidote to shame, how advocacy work sharpened her understanding of systems, and why honest, supportive relationships are essential for healing. By the end, listeners get a clear picture of her mission: creating spaces where women can show up whole, connect deeply, and grow into the strongest version of themselves.

The podcast that’s so much more than your average show. It’s a collective brain trust. A movement. A loud, loving, no-BS invitation to burn the outdated playbook and write a new one - one that actually fits the fullness of who you are.

We’re three women from three very different worlds - Silicon Valley sales and marketing, coalition building and transformational coaching, academic writing and learning strategy - who all hit the same tired conclusion: the game is rigged and the rules were written without us in mind.

So, we decided to build something different!

Together, we turn exhaustion into clarity, rage into rebellion, and rest into resistance.

Tired AF isn’t another self-help show. It’s a space to stop playing small and start building something different, together. Where intuition meets business, storytelling collides with strategy, and rebellion becomes a roadmap. It’s the space for women who are done hustling for crumbs and ready to build tables of their own.

We’re tired! Tired of being gaslit, tired of contorting ourselves to fit someone else’s mold, tired of pretending “this is just how it is.”

If you’re Tired AF - then this is the podcast for you!!!
