I help high performers make bold moves forward without losing who they are in the process.

hi, I'm Melissa.

What looked like ambition from the outside was actually self-abandonment. I had learned how to override my needs, ignore the signals, and keep going no matter the cost. That experience is what ultimately shaped the work I do now—helping high performers create success that doesn’t require abandoning themselves to maintain it.

i had no idea at the time...

On paper, everything was working. I was leading high-pressure sales teams, driving growth, and doing what ambitious, capable people are told to do to succeed. But internally, I was exhausted, disconnected, and running on sheer willpower. I knew how to perform—but I didn’t know how to sustain it without constantly pushing past myself.

My story really began the moment I realized “success” was costing me more than it was giving back.
