Ep. 84: Failing Forward: What Didn’t Work & Why I’m Grateful It Didn’t

In this episode, Melissa shares three moments that felt like failures at the time: a project that almost didn’t happen, a steady gig she chose to walk away from, and a missed opportunity that turned into something much bigger. Each one led to unexpected clarity, creative growth, and momentum she couldn’t have planned. If you’re starting the year questioning a decision, grieving something that didn’t work out, or wondering whether a closed door means you’ve failed—this conversation is for you.
