Hi, I’m Melissa.
I’m a mother of two, certified coach and Clarity breathwork practitioner, former drug addict-turned-sober-human (since May 24th 2012), and author of numerous books, including the bestselling journal series “The Questions You’ll Wish You Asked.”
Everything I create lives beneath the creed of “Follow Your Fire” because it signifies my “why”: helping people navigate the fire of life and all its challenges, while also living with meaning, deep connections, and purpose.
I believe in turning within to your own inner pilot light, and finding people, communities, and tools that keep it burning even when life is a storm.
The practices I offer (asking powerful questions through self and other-inquiry, writing down answers, and practicing breathwork) were found out of great need.
I am an overthinking, self-conscious, highly sensitive person with a thin skin…who is also living a courageous, vulnerable, and highly visible life. The parts of my life that might seem shiny are not despite the shadowy parts, but because of them. I believe in calling in all parts of ourselves and not pretending to have it all figured out.
If that sounds like you too, I’m so glad you’re here.
I hope I can remind you that you don’t need to be fully healed or have it all figured out to be living with meaning, connection, and sacredness.
I hope that today you remember that you are intrinsically important in this world, that connection to self and others merely starts with a conversation, and that life is less about having the right answers and more about asking the right questions.
