In today's world we encounter all kinds of challenges, disappointments and difficulties. Life doesn't pan out according to our specific expectations. It is important that we learn to cope and hope so we can thrive. This podcast is dedicated to honoring and celebrating our stories of learning to cope, hope and thrive in the midst of the God-given life we live.
Launching isn’t just putting something out into the world. Sometimes it means surrendering fear, leaving the safety of the shore, and trusting God enough to move.
In this episode, Melissa reflects on Peter’s call to “launch out into the deep” and what it means to move forward when fear, hesitation, or past failure make you want to stay put.
She explores the difference between striving and surrender and shares practical tools for renewing your thoughts, including Reflective Rhythms and Captivity Cards™, available on the Daily Nectar page at CopeHopeThrive.com.
She also revisits “What’s on Your Menu?” and the importance of being intentional about what you feed your mind and spirit.
Because what you feed grows.
If you’re in a season of transition or sensing God calling you forward, this episode offers encouragement to move from hesitation to faithful action.

Launching Me
What if the thing keeping your launch stuck is not your strategy, but who you’re becoming? In this episode, Melissa makes a powerful case that real launching starts on the inside, not with performance, perfection, or visible momentum.
In this reflective episode, Melissa shares what it looks like to wrestle with surrender while navigating grief, health challenges, shifting responsibilities, and the pressure to “do” instead of be. She opens up about the tension between wanting to move forward and needing to let God form something deeper first.
If you’ve ever felt caught between waiting and moving, or wondered whether your current season is preparing you for more than you can see, this episode will meet you right where you are
