Growth Edge Workshop

Join Our Monthly Workshop

During this 60-minute workshop, we highlight you and your business. We also take a moment to Turn Up the Silence™ by engaging in an introspective activity that is meant to take you to your Growth Edge. We do this with a group of peers in a virtual, safe place designed for authenticity and vulnerability. The result? You walk away with new friends and new actionable insights that contribute to your growth and success. Consider this a powerful pause in your day to invest in your personal growth and business growth.

[Shows occur every second Tuesday of the month, February - November]

While doing that, you will also be surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs.

Melissa has her own proprietary way of catalyzing relevant conversations in groups that unlock authenticity and vulnerability.

Solitude Retreats

Experience the Power of Turning Up the Silence™
Unlock clarity, elevate your vision, and transform your identity with the profound insights gained through purposeful solitude. By investing in yourself and embracing stillness, you’ll shift your perspective to focus on high-impact priorities, uncover solutions to long-standing challenges, and approach time with a qualitative, transformative mindset. Leave each retreat with a renewed sense of direction, a clearer focus on what truly matters, and a deep calm that energizes both life and business. Simplify, expand, and thrive—starting with intentional pauses.

During these retreats, I’ll guide you through my Solitude Retreat Process—a transformative experience I’ve refined over the past seven years. It’s a thoughtful blend of intentional alone time and just the right amount of connection and guided activities, ensuring you leave with clarity, progress, and tangible results.

[Retreats are scheduled to take place in the Hill Country of Texas on February 23rd - 26th; June 22nd - 25th; October 26th - 29th.]
