Melissa Carter is the founder of IGNITE WITH MELISSA, LLC. She holds an MBA and is a former music industry corporate executive turned Life Empowerment and Strategy Coach. After years of morbid obesity preventing her from tying her own shoes, depression, failed relationships, and a core belief system of not being "good enough," Melissa embarked on a 150-pound weight loss journey that inspired a career and life transformation.
In this episode, I asked Melissa several questions, including:
- What are you most grateful for right now?
- What ignited a desire in you to want to get into the music industry?
- What are some of the big lessons you learned while working with these music brands?
- How do you explain what's inside you, that allowed you to get up each day with positive gratitude and fight the natural urges … that … most of us have to remain in the place of comfort… eating what we love to eat … making a 1,000 excuses why we can't change our outward appearance?
- Talk about your support system that helped you through your dark valleys?
- What are you doing today as a Holistic Life Coach and what does your day to day look like?
- You're having a bad day, bad week, bad month. You're facing business challenges, family issues, someone you know is ill, life is happening … right … How do you handle your clients and your work and push through those moments when life is happening?
- Do you think that despite losing your relationship and the pain of going through other loss, you gained clarity and revealed your purpose?
