Hi I’m Melissa,

A professional recording artist, psychotherapist, and your hype person for building a life where creativity and wellbeing thrive. Years ago, I was drowning in the grind—touring nonstop, missing milestones like my best friend’s 30th, and feeling totally disconnected from myself.

I hit a breaking point: anxious, burnt out, and questioning why “success” felt so empty. So, I scrapped everything. I dove into therapy, spirituality, Kundalini yoga, all the palo santo, and even sold my stuff at Crossroads when I went broke. It was messy, raw, and transformative.

By 2015, I’d cracked the code: clarity on my purpose as an artist, unshakable self-worth, and a system to balance creating timeless work and living a life I adore—full of deep relationships, Netflix nights with friends, and a spiritual practice that keeps me grounded.

Fast Forward

Now I beam with pride over projects I love, travel, awards, and financial freedom, plus Sunday dinners with my family and Love is Blind marathons (no shame).

My secret?

Blending artistry with mental health tools and spirituality—a system so effective, I went back to school (nerd alert!) to back it up with a master’s from Northwestern in Marriage and Family Therapy and now continuing with my PhD.

I’ve lived the mess, done the work, and I’m here to help you skip the worst parts. Let’s make your creative dreams and your cozy, connected life non-negotiable.

INTRODUCING:

A BRAND NEW BLUEPRINT FOR CREATIVES TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE, AND LIVE DEEPLY INTO THEIR TRUE CREATIVE AND SPIRITUAL PURPOSE.

THIS IS MY SIX MONTH COURSE DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO YOU AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

I know it takes a lot of readiness and trust in yourself to say yes to a new path. Maybe thoughts have come up like “Looking at my life in this much detail feels scary.” “How will I know I’m going the right direction in the work?” or “Is everything I go into in the workbooks confidential?” (It is).

I've thought of all of that because I once walked the same path you are now walking. And I have created transformational mindset content to scaffold you as you navigate through each module inside the academy. I know that 80% of your success is related to your thoughts and I want to set you up for 100% success!

What You'll Learn

01) HOW TO CLARIFY YOUR PURPOSE IN CREATIVITY + LIFE

These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.

02) HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVE SUCCESS

Want to learn how to co-create without fear? Not sure how? I will teach you the mindset and techniques necessary to live your calling.

03) HOW TO RESOLVE THE PAST

Do you sometimes cringe thinking about things you said or did in your career and don’t know how to shake the ick? Are there relationships in your past that need a bit of healing? I will show you how to integrate tough memories and emotions, and to have tough but constructive conversations to allow you to enjoy ease and freedom now.

04) HOW TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION

I will show you the surprisingly fail safe method that has liberated me from the guilt I used to feel around constantly putting off my to do list. I now make more money, feel more confident and in control, than ever before. 

05) HOW TO OVERCOME IMPOSTER SYNDROME

I will teach you the tools necessary to build the unshakeable self-confidence necessary to step fully into your creative power and potential.
