We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Melissa Harrison. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Melissa below.

Melissa , appreciate you joining us today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?

Many clients come to me suffering from anxiety — either sudden onset, or as a result of a lingering pattern they need to break. One particular client was in the middle of leaving a bad relationship, and was trying to overcome the anxiety caused by the relationship and resulting situations. During our work together, she was able to find her center again, and release the patterns that had kept her stuck in that relationship. Not only did she experience more calm and confidence, but she was able to be so centered, she could clearly articulate what she wanted and needed in court, and stay grounded in those needs and wants (she won). When we first started working together, her external world had become extremely chaotic (a snake had even shown up in her kitchen!). Afterward, she was confident, poised, and she and her ex became effective and healthy coparents — something that was the longest of long shots.

Melissa , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I had to unlearn hustle and frenzy. From the time I was a little girl, my intellect, grit, and persistence were heralded, and I loved the attention I got as a result. This created a drive in me that contributed to multiple experiences of overwhelm and burnout — but I didn’t know that’s what was happening. I was so steeped in the hustle culture that I figured I was flawed and pushed harder. It wasn’t until I realized I simply could not keep operating as I was — and that I wasn’t getting the results I wanted anyway — that I finally surrendered and began living a more soft, flow-filled, divine feminine energy life. It has made an entire world of difference and my life is so calm, loving, beautiful, and truly successful now.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

My reputation is built on how authentically I show up; sharing tools, tips, and strategies that I’ve personally tested and that actually work for the given audience; consistent dedication; trustworthiness and reliability.
