An interview with Melanie:
What inspires you to get up in the morning? So much! Coffee, my morning focus rituals and self-care, coffee, thinking of the lovely people I get to help today and the magic they will create for themselves . . . and did I mention coffee?
What are you scared of? Jumping out of perfectly good planes. Ok, seriously . . . people not knowing how amazing they are. It takes vulnerability to both get support during a challenge and to accept just how amazing we are in order to go big and shine brightly in life.
People often underestimate the power of . . . Self Love. When you are present enough to fulfill your own needs for love and nourishment, putting “your own oxygen mask on first,” you are present to give your best. Then your loved ones and work get the love and nourishment that you want for them, creating a ripple effect of goodness for the world.
I am in my power when . . . I walk the circle of joyful service to others, delightful adventurous living, and radical self-care. A continuous circle of nourishment and service keeps me grounded, connected, and inspired.
If you could have one super power, what would you choose? I believe I already practice one, the alchemy of helping others realize their superpowers through coaching! Being human, it seems like we have an endless opportunity to develop our hidden strengths and talents and when we do, they totally feel like the superpowers we dream of.
