Hey Friends,
I’m Melissa.
I am an expert listener. My super power is helping others discover what they are made to do – then empowering them to do it! I love coffee, adventure, good books, and telling stories. I grew up near the ocean, and now landlocked, I miss it more than I miss sugar. When I’m not coaching amazing people, I write here, on this site.

I’m a Life Coach.
For over eighteen years, I have been mentoring, ministering or coaching others in a variety of capacities. My strengths as a listener, activator, and strategic thinker all shine most when I am talking to someone one on one.
My sweet spot is in learning people’s stories and gifting, then helping them discover their best next steps in life – and empowering them to take those steps confidently.

I’m a Writer.
Writing is a part of me the way cooking is a part of my mother, and gardening a part of my grandmother. It is something I can’t help doing. But it is also something I want to count. I want my words to matter. I want you to come to this site and be encouraged to keep living life to the full. I want my words to leave you inspired in ways you don’t expect, yet in ways you need.

Things I only tell my Friends.
I am an introverted lover of people and their stories. I am a bread baker who no longer eats gluten. A former coffee addict who now drinks decaf. A person who has been told numerous times she hates change, and yet my life has been full of it. I am a minister without a church (building), and a life coach whose offices are located online, in her living room, and at the local Starbucks.
I grew up in New England, near the ocean.
A year after college, I moved to the middle of Pennsylvania, and met a man from the Midwest. After waiting for him to ask me out for two years, we finally started dating, fell in love, and got married. Together, we are a team and life is an adventure. We love traveling and feel the most alive when we’re going somewhere new.
One of our favorite trips was to Italy where we drank wine made from grapes grown in vineyards that are older than our country. We walked among ruins in Rome that were built before the time of Christ. And we were reminded of the importance of building and creating things that will last.
