Melissa Ford truly had me at ‘hello’! I originally met Melissa in Susan Lucci’s Circles over 13 years ago (listen to Susan speak on Purpose on Episode 9: Celebrating Circles and Purpose). We gently admired one another from across the room, listening in a safe and poignant space. I believe these women’s circles were where many dreams were seeded. Fast forward a few years and I was a grade school parent running a social-emotional group and Melissa was a beginning coach. Our lives convened once again when she came to speak on the power of the parenting relationship to a group of parents. Since then she has gone on to establish a very successful and soul-fulfilling career as a business and life coach and you get to meet her and soak in her wisdom in this episode. I am immensely grateful for Melissa’s wisdom, wit, and vulnerability in Episode 89!
