Growing up in India, I noticed a culture of body shaming, an obsession with thinness, & fair skin being the ideal standard to be considered beautiful. While my own household luckily never endorsed any of this. Body image hit me like a rock when I became a professional Bollywood dancer at the Shiamak Dance company. Often if not always we were shamed, bullied, insulted, ridiculed & threatened with consequences if we didn’t remain or become thin. It is then as a young woman, I developed an unhealthy relationship with my own body image. It was also a big reason why a practice like yoga resonated with me SO STRONGLY. On the podcast today, I chat with Melanie Klein about body image, feminism & yoga. I can’t think of a better expert to have this conversation with. She’s a professor of sociology, & women’s study. A thought leader, an empowerment coach, author & co-founder of Yoga & Body Image coalitionTune in if you’ve been keen to understand this topic more! Tune in if you’re a yoga teacher who gets questions about weight loss often. Tune in if you think you need to be thin to do yoga.

“When presence is there and when there's no hidden agenda, it allows a woman to RELAX and TRUST.” As a marriage therapist and dating coach, Melanie Hersch thoroughly understands what holds men back from dating with confidence. In relationships, establishing trust and safety is crucial. This requires bold honesty, authentic expression, and clear intention. We also cover how to stop attracting the same type of partner, why ghosting is commonplace, and how to break the ice during an awkward date. Highlights: Why to lead with strength, freedom, safety, and confidence when dating. How can we establish trust with women? Why honestly admitting that you don't know something is okay as long as there's confidence that you'll find the answer. “Why do I keep attracting the same thing?” - How Melanie figured out why her dating life was following the same patterns. How can we practice being more authentic? Is treating dating like applying to a job a healthy approach? Are we preparing ourselves for the relationship of our dreams? Why naming our emotions and authentically expressing them is key to emotional wellbeing. “A leader is the person in the room most willing to be uncomfortable” - Jeddy How to break the ice if a date is stiff and awkward. Why you can't be responsible for someone else's reaction. How does neediness show up and why will it sabotage relational health? The distinction between requests and demands. If you're not honest upfront, you are just delaying the inevitable, and increasing the size of the heartbreak.

Melanie Kahn is the Founder of Poppilu Lemonade, a healthy lemonade that delivers all of the taste of traditional lemonade with added health benefits. Melanie started the business in 2017 after experiencing cravings for lemonade while pregnant. She recently added a new kids product line to the company that launched in Walmart and is expanding rapidly. Poppilu is based in Chicago where Melanie started her career in CPG before creating and nationally launching the fairlife dairy brand, which is now part of Coca-Cola. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: Melanie Kahn's career in the big CPG world and her transition to founding Poppilu Melanie talks about the flavor and ingredients for her lemonade product and how she started producing it with a co-packer How Melanie grew her distribution channels and the lessons she learned from the experience Melanie talks about her customer's persona, explains where the name "Poppilu" came from, where to purchase her products, and her kid’s product line How Poppilu has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic The strategies Poppilu uses to create awareness for their products and what Melanie would do differently if she had to start her retail strategy all over again Melanie talks about the formulation for fairlife and what she learned after leaving the big CPG world Melanie's future plans for Poppilu and how she overcame the biggest challenge while growing her business In this episode… After growing her lemonade business for some time, Melanie Kahn realized that her core product—and her first product—wasn’t doing as well as she had expected. So she decided to discontinue its production. Melanie learned that in entrepreneurship and business, if you continue doing what you've always done, your business won’t grow as you’d like. Why would you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results? Melanie found that the solution was to either change her processes or do something completely different. Although she loved her first product, she knew that she had to make changes and pivot if she wanted to improve her business. In this week's episode of the NexxtLevel Podcast, Melanie Kahn, the Founder of Poppilu, talks with G. Steven Cleere about growing her lemonade drink business.

In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Melanie Weller, Physical Therapist, Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Athletic Trainer, Certified Exercise Expert For Aging Adults and vagus nerve and human body story-teller and expert. I have found her approach of looking for stories within the body fascinating. Melanie and I talked about: Her story of owning her intuition and adding it to her clinical practice, How Melanie began to recognize the stories, myths, elements of astrology, and imagery within the anatomy of the body, How the stories of our bodies are expressed in the cosmos (like a fractal) and vice versa, The role that the vagus nerve plays in our well-being and how to work with it to return to alignment, The story of Osiris and Isis, and how sometimes we need to fall apart to be reborn in a new way, And much more. My favorite healing nugget from Melanie is "Using stories for healing is like speaking to your body in its original language. It is literally how the cosmos is coded into us and how we are a fractal of the cosmos." You can find out more about Melanie and her work at her website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Whether you work for a corporate brand - or you’re a personal brand - we all have something in common. In order to persuade people to buy from us, work with us, or tell others about us, we have to be able to create powerful messages and stories that connect with our intended audience, and position us for success. So, wouldn’t it be nice if there was some type of framework that could help us to choose a focus and format to tell our story, so we could create content that serves our mission in the best possible way? Well, thankfully, there is a framework, and my guest today literally wrote the book on it. Melanie Deziel is a keynote speaker, award-winning branded content creator, and a lifelong storyteller on a mission to share the power of creating compelling and credible content with others. Melanie is the Founder and Chief Content Officer of StoryFuel, a company that teaches marketers, creators and organizations how to tell better brand stories, and she’s the author of the best-selling book - The Content Fuel Framework: How to Generate Unlimited Story Ideas. I’ve enjoyed reading Melanie’s book, and have found the 10 x 10 content fuel framework helpful as I’ve had to re-think how I connect with my community, and share my message while speaking on stages around the world is not an option. In our conversation today, Melanie shares how her experience as a journalist and content strategist for some of the most well-known companies and brands in the world was helpful to her when she decided to start and market her own business, and how she’s now on a mission to help others to create content that they can be proud of, and will get their messages heard. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How the storytelling process used by corporate brands is similar to telling your own story as a personal brand. The importance of understanding what is important to you, the message that you want to convey to your audience, and how your personal experiences can provide relevance and timeliness about your topic. How Melanie applied her experience as a journalist and with storytelling to market her business once she went out on her own. How volunteering to help sales people with client pitches led to Melanie becoming a successful international keynote speaker. How the 10 x 10 grid of the Content Fuel Framework evolved from a series of presentations, to a workshop, then a keynote, and ultimately a book. The challenges associated with launching a book during a global pandemic, and how Melanie has gotten creative to promote the book in non-traditional ways. How to choose a focus and format to tell your story, and to create content that serves your mission in the best possible way. Two things that a company - or a person - needs to consider before creating and sharing content, in order to get their message heard.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of being hard on ourselves when we’re chasing after our goals. In this episode, I was joined by YouTube content creator, Melanie Ham and we talked about why we should put less pressure on ourselves as creatives. Melanie got started on YouTube in 2011 after wanting to connect with other makers and quickly realized her love for sharing content.

She started sewing crafty stuff, just simple things and then in 2010 made her first quilt and has been obsessed ever since. In December of 2011 she started her youtube channel to first connect with other makers online. At the time she was an active duty military spouse living away from family, and desired that connection with other creatives. She also wanted to share her latest projects and teach others how to make them as well. It took off beyond her wildest dreams with now nearly 650k subscribers and 55 million views on Youtube. Her favorite thing about being a creative content creator is the ability to work from home and keep her family the top priority. She lives in a suburb of Los Angeles with her husband and 2 children.

Melanie Mackie is the Social Stylist and Founder at Scarletta Media; she works with female entrepreneurs and petite businesses to support and encourage them to powerfully show up online, speak their authentic truth, share their wisdom and expertise - to create and establish their unique social style and living brands. Melanie has been self-employed for 8 years, so it was great to hear her wisdom and insights when it comes to her experiences of being an entrepreneur during that time. Three words Melanie uses to describe her entrepreneurial journey so far are: Life changing, transformational, and enlightening. What you'll learn by listening to this episode: - How Melanie took a huge leap of faith by leaving the corporate world to explore working for herself, and how “let’s just see how this goes” has served her very well. - Having a 100% virtual online business, for her, was not what it was cracked up to be, and the realization of how much she enjoyed 1:1 interaction, inspired her to change that. - Being in a mastermind is one of the best business decisions she has ever made, and why. - How trusting her intuition in making business and marketing decisions has been really helpful in getting her to where she is today. - The importance of self-compassion, and stopping to celebrate those successes along the way. - Finally, we discuss the topic of social media and self-validation, and where our feelings of validation actually come from.

If you would like to get paid for your opinion on products, register with Saros through this link: https://www.sarosresearch.com/participate/join-saros-research/?id=100243 The Conversation with Melanie Pürschel Melanie explains what the Mood Matrix is. How will the experience be in a team using this tool? It works well as an early warning system. The Mood Matrix shows how the mood is changing. You then need to use the information to continue the process with the Team Mood Tracker. The next questionnaire starts to help you decide in what field of the team process you need to make changes. The most important factors for virtual teamwork we should look at to understand where we could change something if the team's mood is changing. We also need to look out for the team's mood being split. Some scenarios when you might want to move onto the next stage of tracking your team's mood. Consider the bio-rhythm of people when implementing the matrix. How Melanie developed her matrix through research, started back when she was at university. The subject of anonymity. Personal and team level results. Mel's own journey and her recent partnership building the product. (Pilar refers to Hugo Messer's story in a previous podcast episode.) Get in touch with Mel if you're at all interested in the product and if you have any suggestions of what tools it might integrate with. Who would find this tool useful? http://www.teammoodtracker.com/
