Melissa DaSilva realized she was the only one working towards - or even interested in - the dream life she and her husband talked about. Then came the pandemic and forced togetherness, which made them realize they weren't well suited as partners. So at 39, after 14 years together and 8 married, she asked for a divorce. And while that experience was hard, it allowed her to pursue a life that truly fits her and makes her happy - and one that builds in room for naps, which she considers necessary for her success. And now that she's over 40, she's less concerned about what other people think about her decisions, which she says is so freeing. Guest BioAn Expert in creating authentic lifestyles through unconventional ways of things and developing roadmaps to get there, Mellissa is a sought-after public speaker and educator who leaves her audiences feeling understood, entertained, and inspired to create change. Melissa's success wasn't achieved in the typical sense. Growing up as an artist with a learning disability, she found her unique path for creating wealth and a dream lifestyle while developing programs to address the mental health needs of the LGBTQ+ community and creating physical NFTs that make an impact on our changing world.Career InspirationMelissa DaSilva was an introverted teenager struggling with mental health issues after her parents' divorce. She credits a school social worker for getting her through high school, so much so that she thought “I wanna grow up and be Tracy someday.” She pursued social work in college and graduate school and feels lucky to have been in touch with Mrs. Lamb, her fourth grade teacher through school. As someone who struggled with a learning disability, she struggled with collecting her thoughts and writing papers. Mrs. Lamb graded most of the papers she wrote for her master's program, making sure that they were coherent and well written. Her social work internship was working under Tracy in her old school. After getting her MSW degree, Melissa became a school social worker at a performing arts high school so she could “be somebody else's Tracy.” Before long, though, she realized she didn't like working for other people and she knew she needed a schedule that allowed for her to fit in naps, which she says is a part of her constitution. Dating My Best Friend's BrotherWhen she graduated college, Melissa started dating her best friend's brother, which naturally caused some ripples, especially since her best friend said they'd never last. They got married after dating for six years. Her husband was very supportive of her career and her desire to start her own business. They bought a house and Melissa helped to take care of his disabled mother. So now Melissa had a career, a supportive partner, a house, and free time. And, while this is what “everybody says you should want when you grow up,” Melissa found herself unfulfilled. “But there was one night I was laying in bed and I just felt so empty.” She felt like there must be something missing; this couldn't be “it.” Melissa had been vocal about not wanting to live in Rhode Island forever; the winters don't agree with her constitution and the summers aren't long enough. She wanted to figure out how to move somewhere warm, like Puerto Rico, but she realized she was more excited by that dream than he was. Then came the pandemic and, like many other people, they had to spend a lot of time together, which made them realize they probably weren't the best partners even though they loved each other a lot. While they had always been “Team DaSilva,” she realized it was more “Team DaSilva but Melissa is pulling a lot of the weight.” That opened her eyes to the fact that her husband had been addicted to substances - either marijuana or alcohol - for the entire time they had been together. After her eyes were opened,

Is there a dream or goal you've put on the back burner, telling yourself you'll get to it "one day"? Maybe you're not sure how to go about making a change, or fear that you might not be successful. But what if I told you that delaying your dreams is actually costing you more than taking the leap? Trusting your desire to change direction in life is the first step on the path to making it happen. In this episode, I chat with transformational coach Melissa DaSilva LICSW. She was living a life that she thought she was supposed to be living. It wasn't a bad one but after a life altering “aha” moment, Melissa realized her life needed to change direction. So she got really clear on what she wanted, created an action plan, and took the necessary steps, and went for it. Melissa also delves into the emerging technology of NFTs'. What are they and how they are impacting artists around the world. Melissa is a successful physical NFT artist, entrepreneur, therapist, author and coach who motivates other LGBTQIA+ individuals, entrepreneurs, and artists to take their life and career to the next level. She is the author of "The Profitable Practice: Helping Healing Professionals Build and Grow a Successful Business."

This week I am sharing my conversation with Melissa DeSaliva. Melissa is a therapist and Transformational Coach for the Queer community. She is also the author of the book, The Profitable Practice. Our conversation revolved around the queer community and how we can better navigate the waters and help fight normalizing transgender and queer lifestyles here in America. Unfotuniutley, we are living in a divided times where the reversal of gay marriage, trans friendly bathrooms and even their service in our military are being questioned. Seeing yourself represented in the world is one of the most important things in life. This world is meant to be a mirror not wall. I think we all need to do better at being mirrors not walls for the queer and trans community.

The "B" in LGBTQ is often the people told to "pick a lane, just pick a lane!" Yet, more people are bisexual than would want to admit it. Thus the reason on this two eves, before National Coming Out Day we decided to explore the other side of the closet with a bisexual queer person. It's a fun exploration with my friend Melissa DaSilva - a coach and therapist who works with LGBTQ folks to help them be themselves. We explore her coming out - which really wasn't a huge coming out, and how she finds it being in the world of the bisexual, when everyone seems to have very interesting thoughts about what a bisexual needs and should do to fit in.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court said the language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, applied to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, thus protecting the employment rights of all LGBTQ+ professionals. Like many LGBTQ+ professionals, I too had my job threatened because I am gay. It's a horrible feeling and one which I hope no one ever experiences again. Melissa DaSilva is a licensed and independent clinical social worker, therapist, author, and founder of East Coast Mental Wellness in Providence, RI, where LGTBQ+ professionals find safe and specialized therapeutic services. Melissa and John get on the mic to discuss: • This landmark Supreme Court ruling and what it means for LGBTQ+ professionals and companies to protect the rights of every employee regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity • Awareness and support for transgender individuals in the workplace • Why using pronouns is essential to providing safe spaces for everyone • What does “non-binary” mean • Doing your homework to best support LGBTQ+ employees You can contact John with your career story & more at https://johnneral.com/contact or email him at john@johnneral.com.

Hello and welcome to another special and encouraging episode of Solo Parent Life. Today, my very informative guest is Melissa DaSilva, an LGTBQ+ community activist, and therapist. Melissa’s mission is to support parents and children as they navigate LGBTQ+ issues, and educate the public in the middle of a rapidly changing world. We know more about gender identity and sexuality than we ever have before. So how can we as single parents educate our children and teach them to respect everyone regardless of gender and sexual orientation? I am thankful that Melissa took the time to educate me in my limited experience with the LGTBQ+ community, and I know that each one of you will take away something encouraging and inspiring from our talk. As parents, we have the exciting privilege of teaching our children respect and love. Let’s let that love grow today!    Also in this episode: Learning the letters of the LGBTQ+ community. Navigating gender issues early in life. Kids accept transition better than we think! Melissa’s best advice for parents seeking to teach about LGBTQ+ issues.

In this podcast we dive into some fascinating topics!
