A free 30-minute call
Hi, you.

You've been "fine."
And we both know that's the problem.

It's actually bleak as hell. You're teetering all the time, feeling a sense of instability and frustration that you're midlife and struggling. But that ends now. One call. Thirty minutes. Girl, let's chat.

— love,Melissa

Something's off and you can't explain it to anyone without sounding ungrateful.

You have the job. The house. The kids, the relationship, the life that looks correct from the outside. And you're exhausted in a way that a girls trip doesn't fix.

You've probably already heard some version of "oh, you don't have it THAT bad, my friend Lisa, she… (insert tragedy here)." Which is exactly why you're on this page at, what time is it, reading about a stranger on the internet.

Hi. I'm Melissa. I'm the stranger. Founder · MVMNT Leadership
If any of these came out of your mouth this week

You're not the only one.
But you are in the right place.

"I'm doom scrolling Instagram and I get annoyed at the teeny boppers and the 50 year olds both living it up. What are they drinking."
"I have everything I said I wanted in my 20s. Now, I look around, and I'm thinking why am I feeling like this."
"I miss the version of me who was carefree. Alive. Full of joy. She feels so far away."
"I'm trying so hard. Why can't I figure this out on my own."
"I don't want to blow up my life. I just want to be back in the driver's seat."
"I have 'nothing to be sad about.' I also want to scream, kick, punch, cry, because the version of life that was sold to me was a fucking lie."
"I cried in the Target parking lot again."

If three of those landed, you're not crazy and you're not ungrateful. You're buried. There's a difference.

The honest answer

Okay but do I actually
have to get on a call?

I know. You're reading this thinking can't we just text? You don't know me. I don't know you. Getting on a call with someone you've never met to talk about the thing you haven't even fully admitted to yourself yet sounds like a lot.

It is a little vulnerable. I'm not going to lie to you.

But here's the thing. The text version of this doesn't work. You'll water it down. You'll be fine. You've been fine. We've established that's the problem.

Thirty minutes. That's it. I'm going to ask you real questions and actually listen to the answers.

You're going to leave the call feeling seen, supported, and not alone for the first time in a long time. Or I'll tell you I'm not the right person and point you somewhere better.

Either way you win.

What we'll actually talk about

Three things.
That's the whole agenda.

01

Where you are right now.

Not what you tell your husband's boss at his work dinner. The real version.

02

What you actually want.

Not what you think you're supposed to want at this age, in this season, with this life.

03

Whether working together makes sense.

For both of us. If yes, I'll tell you what I'd suggest. If not, I'll point you somewhere that does.

While we're being honest

I was buried too.

Polite. Capable. Doing everything I was supposed to like I'd been fed and programmed to.

I was also slowly suffocating. Gasping for a feeling of being alive. In my power.

Fast forward to today and I can honestly say I've never felt happier, lighter, more confident.

Every woman on this planet deserves to feel like this.

This call is the first step.

And it's free.

Oh and. I'm an ICF certified coach. NCC, ACC. Which means I actually know what I'm doing. But mostly I just ask the questions nobody else in your life is willing to ask.

You've had this
gnawing feeling.

Maybe it's nothing.
But isn't it worth thirty minutes to figure that out.
Just so we're on the same page

Things this call is not.

Not a free sample.
I'm not going to drop some half-coaching on you and then upsell. We're talking. That's it.
Not a 60-min closer.
It's not a 90-minute "discovery call" that turns into a 60-minute pitch. Thirty minutes. That's the whole thing.
Not therapy.
I am, however, trained to recognize when therapy is the better fit. If that's where you actually need to start, I'll tell you that on the call. No weirdness. A lot of my clients do both, side by side.
Not a commitment.
You can book this call, talk to me for thirty minutes, decide I'm not for you, and never speak to me again. I will not be upset. It's literally a free conversation.
The questions women always ask first

You're not the only one
wondering about this.

01
What if I don't know what I want from the call?

That's most women before we get on the phone. The not knowing is the starting line, not a disqualifier. Bring the not knowing. We'll work with it.

02
Are you going to think I'm lame for the things I'm worried about?

No. And the fact that you're asking this is part of the problem. Somewhere along the way you got the idea that your stuff isn't bad enough to take up space. That's the bury talking.

I've heard everything. I've been the woman with most of it. I have been the cautionary tale. You're going to tell me the thing you've been minimizing for years and I'm going to nod and say yeah, that's a real one. That's the whole job.

03
What if I'm not ready to commit to coaching after?

Then don't. There is no obligation attached to this call. None. If you book it just to hear yourself say something out loud to a real person, that's a legitimate use of thirty minutes.

04
I don't have time.

You have thirty minutes. It's less than your lunch. It's less than the doom scroll you did this morning.

Here's the harder answer. You've been not having time for this for a while now. How's that working out.

Pick a time

Okay. Let's chat.

You've been sitting with this
for a while.

The call is free.

The worst thing that happens is you spend thirty minutes talking about yourself to someone who actually wants to listen.

The best thing that happens is you start to come back.
