Introspection and How to Work Out What to do With Your Life - w/ Melissa Monte

Introspection and How to Work Out What to do With Your Life - w/ Melissa Monte

What if your rock bottom was actually a launchpad? Melissa Monte, host of the Mind Love podcast, shares how hitting her lowest point became the catalyst for building a life she truly loves.

Melissa's journey wasn't a straight line to success. After facing trauma, bad relationships, and even a felony charge for someone else's crime, she found herself in a jail cell with a choice: let her limitations define her or use them as guideposts. She chose the latter, teaching herself digital marketing and eventually launching a successful podcast.

This episode dives into the raw, messy process of self-discovery and how our biggest failures can become our greatest teachers.

  • Ask yourself what you can do without anyone else's permission.

  • Use your limitations as guideposts to steer you in a new direction.

  • Instead of chasing shiny objects, ask yourself: What am I endlessly curious about
