    Ep 12 - Cyclical Living for All Women | with Kristal Godin

    In this deeply nourishing episode, I’m joined by Kristal Godin, certified Naturotherapist and women’s wellness advocate, for a conversation about learning to listen when your body speaks. We begin with Kristal’s personal journey; from decades of depletion, brain fog, and a medical system that told her everything was fine, until an autoimmune diagnosis finally validated what she knew all along. We explore naturopathy as a holistic approach to women’s health, the practice of cycle syncing through your four inner seasons, and how understanding your hormonal rhythms can transform everything from your workouts to your business schedule. Kristal unpacks perimenopause — why it can start as early as 35, why it’s really a journey into self-love as women begin prioritizing themselves, and how it’s not an ending but a rebirth. We dive into fertility after 35, why tracking ovulation is essential, and the six pillars of happy hormones. Throughout our conversation, one truth keeps surfacing: your body is always speaking to you, and learning its language is the ultimate path back to self-love. Key Moments: [1:02] Meet Kristal: the Naturotherapist who learned to listen | [8:38] Your body has its own language | [12:19] Cycle syncing: living in rhythm with your inner seasons | [34:16] Perimenopause: the unexpected journey into self-love | [50:37] Fertility after 35: you need to ovulate to conceive | [1:02:30] “Your body is speaking to you”: coming home to self-love Connect with Kristal: ✨ Website: kristalgodin.com ✨ Instagram: @kristal.godin Connect with Melissa: ✨ Website: melissaforselflove.com ✨ Instagram: @radiantmelissaspratt ✨ Book a Self-Love Clarity Call ✨ Substack: The Self-Love Path ✨ Self-Care Rainbow: QUIZ ✨ Self-Love Course: The Radiant Woman This is a public episode.

    Ep 11 - Why Devotion + Action Create Clarity | with Kristen Lynch

    In this deeply synchronistic episode, I’m joined by Kristen Lynch, mindset coach and marketing strategist, for a conversation that begins with the wild story of how we found each other. It started with Melissa as a listener in the bathtub discovering Kristen’s podcast through a Pinterest pin, all the way to today, where she’s now a guest on The Self Love Path. We explore what it really means to show up through self-doubt, from Kristen’s journey of chronic illness and corporate burnout to building a six-figure business rooted in simplicity, devotion, and self-trust. Melissa shares many synchronicities along her journey and opens up about navigating grief while getting certified as a self-love coach, Kristen talks befriending the inner critic instead of trying to silence it, and how she balances the masculine structures of business with feminine flow. We dive into the financial leap of investing in yourself when you’re scared, why rejection is a normal part of the path, and how action creates clarity even when you can’t see the destination. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to say yes, this is it. Key Moments: [1:02] Meet Kristen: CEO meets goddess | [8:33] The Pinterest pin: a synchronistic story | [17:56] Befriending fear: you can’t get rid of self-doubt | [20:15] The investment that changed everything | [37:26] The Radiant Woman: trusting your intuition | [46:42] “If you’re called to create it, others will be called to it” Connect with Kristen: ✨ Instagram: @iamkristenlynch Connect with Melissa: ✨ Website: melissaforselflove.com ✨ Instagram: @radiantmelissaspratt ✨ Book a Self-Love Clarity Call ✨ Substack: The Self-Love Path ✨ Self-Care Rainbow: QUIZ ✨ Self-Love Course: The Radiant Woman This is a public episode.

    In this special community Q&A episode of The Self-Love Path, I answer your questions on inspiration, conscious parenting, and manifestation. I share where my poetry and creative ideas come from, walk through my core parenting philosophies — self-love, body love, conscious parenting principles, and co-regulation — and open up about navigating anxiety alongside my daughter. Then I break down my approach to manifestation through the R-words framework (Regulation, Release, Realize, Realign, Reclaim), close with a nature-inspired poem, “That Friendly Neighborhood Tree,” and share exciting updates including my upcoming matcha meetup and new self-care course, The Radiant Woman.

    Ep 9 - The Portal After the Void

    A solo self-love episode on somatic healing, shifting stuck energy, and releasing limiting beliefs. I’m sharing my July recap > and July was an absolute portal! I opened up about the void space I was in during June (stuck, resistant, filled with self-doubt) and how working with somatic coach Libby Duffy helped me move the energy I couldn’t shift through mindset work alone. I share what came out of hosting The Radiant Woman, a seven-day Telegram immersion, including the core belief of “not enough” that shows up for so many of us and the Triple P Loop (perfectionism, people-pleasing, productivity) it keeps us stuck in. I also announce something new and joy-filled: the first Self-Love Matcha Meetup with Mel, coming September 19th in Chester, CT. I close with a reading of my poem “Disconnected,” inspired by a conversation about interconnectedness. Key Moments: [1:02] Welcome back & July recap begins | [3:36] Working through the void space with somatic coach Libby Duffy | [10:11] The Radiant Woman Telegram immersion & the belief of “not enough” | [18:00] Announcing the Self-Love Matcha Meetup (Sept 19) | [22:57] Poem reading: “Disconnected” Many Shoutouts!

    Ep 8 - Fill Your Cup: Motherhood, Identity & Creativity | with Emilie Willoughby

    In this inspiring and purpose filled episode, I’m joined by my beautiful friend, Emilie Willoughby, founder of Salt Watercolors and mama of three, for a conversation that begins with our synchronistic friendship, born in a virtual postpartum group in 2020, birthdays two days apart, all the way to our creative businesses and entrepreneurship journeys. We explore the identity shifts of matrescence, the guilt and grief of losing yourself in motherhood, and how creativity can become the anchor that brings you back. Emilie opens up about survival-mode parenting, the audacity (and intuition) it takes to chase a dream you were once told would never be paid for, and how 10 minutes in a day can fill your cup. How can you fill your cup today?

    Ep 7 - From Burnout to Bloom: Astrology & Identity Alchemy | with Nicole Doyle

    What if the life you’ve been building isn’t actually the life you want? This week I’m joined by Nicole Doyle — Astrologer, Identity Alchemist, Subconscious Reprogrammer, and my friend for a conversation that goes deep into the intersection of astrology, alignment, identity, and becoming. Nicole shares her journey from a high-achieving corporate career and quiet burnout, to leaving it all in 2024 and getting pregnant three weeks later. We explore how your natal chart holds your unique business blueprint, why your patterns aren’t your enemy (and deserve to be thanked), and what it truly means to alchemize an old identity into a new one. As Nicole says, “astrology doesn’t lie”. And it was never meant to be a cage. Think of it as the most honest map — one that’s been yours all along. And how she isn’t shocked that Melissa is a Self-Love Coach based on her own blueprint. We also get into which Saturn, Uranus & Pluto patterns are keeping you stuck, how to use astrology and human design together, what conscious motherhood and raising a manifestor daughter actually looks like, and the truth Nicole keeps coming back to > the version of you that got you here won’t get you there.

    Ep 5 - The Audacity Aura Era: Shadow Work, Business Energetics & Showing Up Boldly in Every Identity You Hold | with Libby Duffy

    I’m joined by our first guest, Libby Duffy — Audacity and Business Coach, Podcast Host, Conscious Mama and so much more. We have a really honest, flowing conversation about what audacity actually is — including doing the shadow work, looking at root fears, and all parts of yourself. Libby shares her own story of burnout and rebuilding, how she works with clients through parts work, and why she believes the inner critic doesn’t need to be silenced — it just needs to feel safe. We also explore the idea that your business carries its own energetic aura, influenced by the energy you bring to it, your business birth chart, and the identity you’re stepping into. She shares more about her six-month mastermind, Audacity Aura, and what it looks like to go deep within yourself and expand from the inside out. We close with a raw, real conversation about COVID motherhood, reparenting our own inner children while raising daughters, finding glimmers, and the power of celebration as an alchemizer.
