In this solo episode, I'm getting honest about one of the hardest parts of being a dancer (and a human) - rejection. I recently launched a brand new mentorship program - and it totally flopped. So I'm sharing with you the process I used to coach myself through the disappointment and the lessons I learned along the way.Key Points in this Episode: Why rejection doesn't define your worth as a dancer or artist The hidden wins in experiences that don't go as planned Common mistakes dancers (and entrepreneurs) make when putting themselves out there How imposter syndrome can sabotage opportunities - and how to push back Why you need to talk about your work way more than you think How to ask for feedback and what to do when you don't get it Reframing rejection as redirection in your career and lifeTune in to talk through the emotions, the mindset shifts, and the practical lessons that can help dancers (and anyone pursuing a big dream) handle rejection with resilience.Let's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerina1-1 Career Mentoring: book your complimentary career callQuestions/comments?

If life feels like an emotional rollercoaster and consistency seems impossible, this one's for you. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to build habits when everything feels messy, chaotic, and hard. Spoiler: it's not about being perfect or having it all figured out — it's about learning how to show up even when you don't want to.I'll share how I've managed to keep moving forward (sometimes to my own surprise!) despite crying, crumbling, and feeling like a hot mess most of the time. You'll learn why consistency isn't about perfection, but about having the right toolkit for the battles that life throws at you.Here are 15 things I think will help you achieve your goals, and stay consistent even when life is tough!Think of this as your permission slip to succeed in the middle of the mess — because you don't need to be calm, collected, or flawless to reach your goals. You just need to know how to “do messy well.”If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6

 "Grief is love finding new ways to flow." Welcome, fellow griever.This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.Let's lean in At first, it might feel like the love you carry has nowhere to go. But over time, you realize—it's not gone. It's simply seeking a new path.  "Grief is love finding new ways to flow." Grief can feel like a dam—holding back the flood of love you still carry for them. But love is persistent. It finds cracks, trickles, streams, and eventually, whole rivers through which it can move again.Sometimes it pours into the stories you tell, the causes you support, or the way you show up for others. Sometimes it flows quietly into the small rituals you keep—lighting a candle, wearing their favorite color, whispering their name when no one else is around.This love is not lost. It's transforming, adapting, and weaving itself into the life you are still living.You don't have to force it to find a direction. Just notice where it's asking to go—and trust yourself to follow. Now, take another breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

"Healing is not the same as forgetting."Welcome, fellow griever.This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.Let's lean inSome people think moving forward means leaving the past behind.But grief teaches us otherwise.Healing is not the same as forgetting.Healing isn't about erasing the person we lost or softening their memory until it no longer stings. It's about carrying them with us in a way that lets us breathe without breaking apart every time. I've learned that forgetting was never the goal — love doesn't ask that of us. Instead, healing asks us to weave the person into who we are now, so their presence is threaded into every chapter that follows. They're not gone from the story — they've simply changed chapters with us. Now, take another breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

If you've ever started a diet, workout plan, or big goal with all the motivation in the world… only to fizzle out a few weeks later, this episode is for you.I'm breaking down the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, continuous, small improvements that compound into massive change, and pairing it with James Clear's 1% Better Rule from Atomic Habits so you can finally stick with your goals long-term.

"Grief does not follow a straight line."Welcome, fellow griever.This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.Let's lean inIf you've ever felt like you're “doing grief wrong,” you're not."Grief does not follow a straight line."The path is messy. It loops back on itself. It sends you down side roads you didn't even know existed. Just when you think you're “moving forward,” something takes you right back to day one. But here's the truth — that's not failure. That's grief doing what grief does.This isn't a race, and it isn't something you graduate from. It's a living, breathing part of you now, one that changes shape as you do. Some days you'll feel strong and certain. Others will knock you flat. And that's okay. You're not meant to follow a straight line — you're meant to follow your heart through the twists and turns, and trust that it knows the way, even when you can't see the map. Now, take another breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

 “Silence can be a sacred companion.” Welcome, fellow griever.This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.Let's begin. Before we start, plant your feet and notice how the ground holds you. Even now, you are supported.Silence can be a sacred companion.One of grief's quiet tricks is convincing us we're fragile — like one more loss, one more memory, might make us shatter. But look at you. You've been walking this uneven, unmarked path for longer than you thought possible. Your steps may be wobbly, your pace uncertain, but you have learned how to keep moving through landscapes you never wanted to see. And maybe that's the truth worth holding today: you are already doing what once felt impossible. That is not just survival — that's strength, even if it doesn't feel like it. Now, take another breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

That version mattered.But so does the version that's here now, holding the pen with trembling hands and a heart that still beats with love.Every loss doesn't erase your life; it reshapes it.The new chapters may be harder… but they can still hold meaning, love, and even beauty.This part of your story is still yours to tell — and you're doing it bravely. Now, take another breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

“Grief teaches you who you are beneath the pain.” Welcome, fellow griever. This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces. Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder. Let's begin. Take a breath. Let yourself arrive. Sometimes we don't need answers — just something true to hold. Here's today's grief truth.Grief teaches you who you are beneath the painBefore this loss, I thought I knew who I was. But grief came in and unraveled everything I thought I understood. It stripped me down — not to destroy me, but to show me who I am without the mask. Grief doesn't just change us — it reveals us. It shows us the raw, resilient, cracked-open soul beneath the surface. You're not who you were — but that doesn't mean you're lost. It means you're becoming. So, let's take a breath. Let this moment be enough. Carry the piece that speaks to you. You're not alone in this remembering. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

“Some days are sacred, no matter how much time has passed.”Welcome, fellow griever. This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces. Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder. Let's begin.Take a breath. Or Two - or three. Let yourself arrive. Sometimes we don't need answers — just something true to hold. Here's today's grief truth.Some days are sacred, no matter how much time has passed. For me- today is one of those days. Nine years ago today, my son Alex died. And no matter how much time passes… this day still stops me. The air feels different. The grief shifts — not heavier, but deeper. Like an underground river I've learned to navigate. This isn't just a date on a calendar. It's a sacred marker. A heart-shaped scar that reminds me he was here. That he is here. Some days are like that. For all of us. Days where time folds in on itself, and we're right back in the moment when the world changed. Today, I miss Alex. AND today I honor Alex. His laughter. His spunk. His love. The way he changed me, and the way he still guides me. His life & legacy. If today is sacred for you too — for any reason — know that you're allowed to feel it fully. And if today isn't one of those days, all of this applies to your days... remember, You don't have to explain your grief to anyone. You just have to keep loving. Keep remembering. Keep breathing. Some days are sacred. And so is your story. Let's a take another breath together. Let the truth settle where it needs to. You don't have to carry everything — just what feels true today. You're not lost — you're walking with your truth. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

“Memories hurt — and they can also heal.” Welcome, fellow griever. This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces. Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder. Let's begin. I invite you to take a breath -- or two. Let yourself arrive. Sometimes we don't need answers — just something true to hold. Here's today's grief truth.Memories hurt — and they can also heal.There was a time I couldn't say his name without crying. A time when memories cut sharper than glass.But slowly — almost imperceptibly — some of those memories softened. I started to smile when I said his name. I started to need those stories, those flashes of him, like medicine. Memories hurt because they hold what we've lost. But they also heal — because they keep that love alive. Let yourself remember. Even when it stings. Let it crack you open. That's where the light gets in. Take another breath. Let the truth settle where it needs to. You don't have to carry everything — just what feels true today. You're not lost — you're walking with your truth. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon. - MelissaSupport the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

Nine years ago tomorrow, my son Alex died & every August 6th became the eternal last day. I hadn't found those words until now. The day before everything changed. The last day of “before.”This is a poem I wrote when I woke today—rising from the weight—where memory meets survival.Most days, I carry grief with grace. My soul is expanded. Alex is always with me. I now do work I never would've chosen—but know is the deepest calling of my life: walking with other grievers thru the wilderness of loss.But this day—& the one that follows—is different. The duality sharper. The air heavier. So I write. I speak. I survive—how I need. I hope that for you.The Eternal Last Daythe eve that always remembersI awoke this morning heavy— Heavy like an unrelenting fog, where nothing beyond the fade is seen. Heavy like the sadness that lives in my soul, a constant very best worst companion—never-ever leaving my side. Familiar is this painful comfort.I awoke this morning with the wish to end all wishing— to erase tomorrow from ever entering, oh those years ago. A wish flung—hurled—into the blackness of a bottomless well.I awoke with tears at the ready— ready to carry the unimaginable back down my face, on a well-carved path to my heart. One more day in this year—before another year is marked. One more day in the rest of mine.To be permanently heavy. To over-wish an impossible wish. To forever exist in the unimaginable. To wander with certainty through the wilderness of an enlightened soul.A harsh reality no one sees. The impossible undoing of today. To survive again today— & in the changeless worse, the unnamed tomorrow. To just survive.Lighter… hopeful… bearable— I know they must still live on the other side of this dripping fog— thick as sorrow, damp with memory, and yet just as deafeningly silent.A breath. An echo? Relief? Promise? Dreams? No. Yet—perhaps. And somehow still—impossibly believable they'll return. Just not this morning. Just not on this eternal last day.________________________________________________________________________________________Grief isn't all I am, but it will always be part of me. On days like this, it takes the lead. If you're on your own eternal last day, please know: there's no one way to survive. Say no. Be still. Binge TV. Garden. Cry. Create. You're not alone. I'm here. Alex is here. And this podcast, this community—it exists because connection always matters. Just survive. We'll carry the rest, together. —Melissa

“Guilt and love often feel the same.” August 5 Daily NuggetTake a breath. Let yourself arrive. Sometimes we don't need answers — just something true to hold. Here's today's grief truth.Guilt and love often feel the same.Guilt is one of grief's heaviest companions. It creeps in through the cracks of “what if” and “why didn't I.” But here's something I've come to learn: guilt often masquerades as love. It's not always about wrongdoing — it's about a love so deep, so fierce, that you would have done anything to change the ending. Guilt says: “I failed.” Love says: “I would've done anything for you.” When guilt shows up, try to ask it what it's trying to protect. Sometimes, it just wants to be seen. And sometimes, love just needs a place to rest. Take a breath. Let the truth settle where it needs to. You don't have to carry everything — just what feels true today. You're not lost — you're walking with your truth. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.Support the show__________________________________________________________________________My WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.

Today's Grief Truth -" Grief is Not Linear". There's no finish line here. No checklist. Grief is wild and unpredictable. You might feel “okay” one day — and the next, the wind knocks you flat. But that doesn't mean you're back at the beginning. It means you're walking through it honestly. Progress in grief doesn't move forward like an arrow — it spirals. It folds back on itself. It teaches you again and again what it means to hold love and pain in the same palm. If today feels hard, it doesn't erase how far you've come. You're still healing — even here, even now. Take a breath. Let the truth settle where it needs to. You don't have to carry everything — just what feels true today. You're not lost — you're walking with your truth. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.[P.S...

 Here's today's grief truth.  “It's okay to laugh and cry in the same hour.” Grief is full of contradictions — and also full of truth.One moment, you're sobbing in the car because their favorite song came on. The next, you're belly-laughing at the memory of something wild they once did.That swing? That unpredictability? It doesn't mean you're unstable — it means you're human.We are wired to hold both heartbreak and humor, joy and sorrow, love and longing.You are allowed to laugh, even in your sadness. You are allowed to cry, even in your joy.Grief contains multitudes — and so do you.Take a breath. Let the truth settle where it needs to. You don't have to carry everything — just what feels true today.You're not lost — you're walking with your truth. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.[P.S...

Hello Fellow Griever— and Welcome Back.If you've been wondering where I've been… you're not wrong. July was quieter than usual here on the podcast (totally quiet!) — but it wasn't in vain.Behind the scenes, I've been pouring myself into some powerful new offerings: two brand-new grief coaching programs — each with their own beautiful workbook now published and available — and the long-awaited launch of The Lighthouse Community.--- >LINK HEREThe Lighthouse is a sacred space just for grieving moms — a soft landing place full of connection, support, and deep healing. There's so much available inside for just $9/month… and your first month is on me. Use code TRIAL2025 to get started. I'd love to have you join us.And now, we begin a new month together.This is the start of the August Daily Nugget series — a month of Grief Truths.Every day, I'll meet you here with a short reflection — something honest, real, and hopefully helpful — a small truth to anchor you in the middle of this big, unrelenting thing we call grief.I've done this before — and I'll be doing it again. There will be new daily series in October and December too, each with its own theme and rhythm. But for now, we're in August. And this month, we sit with the truths. The ones that might not fix anything, but help you feel a little more seen, a little less alone.Thank you for listening. Thank you for showing up.Let's begin.NOW.... Our AUGUST 1 DAILY NUGGET“Healing doesn't mean forgetting.”We live in a world obsessed with closure. It urges us to “move on,” as if grief is a task with a tidy ending. But those of us living it — we know better.Healing doesn't mean forgetting.Healing means learning how to carry the weight. How to breathe around it. How to let love lead, even when your heart still aches.Forgetting was never the goal.Our love for them deserves a lifetime. And healing? It's simply the process of building a life where that love can still live.You're not doing it wrong. You're remembering — and healing — all at onceTake a breath. Let the truth settle where it needs to. Take what serves you — and leave the rest. And come back tomorrow, because…You're not broken — you're grieving. And you are never alone in this.I'll be right here.Talk soon.[P.S...

Have you ever made a vision board… but nothing on it actually came true? In this video, I'm sharing 3 reasons your vision board might not be working—and what to do differently so you can finally attract the opportunities, success, and life you've been dreaming of. Whether your goals are to start a business, launch a podcast, write a book, manifest more abundance, or create your next-level life, these simple shifts will help your vision board actually work... and your dreams come true!

Discipline is about doing what you don't want to do because you know it's the right.The person you ARE and who you become through doing hard things paradoxically makes you happier.Victim hood doesn't serve us, and I've had that tested over the past 4 months.Once again I'm coming back to delusional optimism.Wild gratitude and the WORK of being content, regardless of suffering.A mindset of empowerment in the face of pain is a deliberate act of rebellion, so don't give up.You got this.Keep going.It's worth it.If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6

You'll learn:✅ Why most boundaries backfire and what to do instead✅ The difference between controlling others vs. empowering yourself✅ How to create boundaries that work in any situation, even when people have big reactions✅ Practical examples you can use right now to stick to your plan without guiltIf you've ever broken your goals at a party, caved under pressure, or felt frustrated that you can't “just say no,” this episode will show you why it's not about willpower, it's about creating boundaries that actually work.If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6
