What if getting sick enough to face death became the catalyst for discovering how to truly live? Meet Melissa Baker, a tenacious entrepreneur who transformed 500+ clinical appointments, 21 ER visits, and years of undiagnosed autoimmune illness into a purposeful business that's literally cleaning up the way we think about health and home environments. Melissa shares how dropping from 133 to 105 pounds while battling mysterious symptoms taught her that sometimes we must be broken down completely to be resurrected into something better. Her journey from marketing Fortune 500 products to founding Lux Conscious Cleaning Services - and now developing her own line of natural cleaning products with Mayo Clinic and Harvard pharmacists - proves that our greatest challenges can become our most powerful purpose. Guest Bio Melissa Baker brings over 20 years of business experience working with Fortune 500 companies, CEOs, and creatives across sales, marketing, and HR. Having marketed and sold over 300 products throughout her career, Melissa now channels her expertise into Lux Conscious Cleaning Services, a specialized business focused on medically conscious cleaning for new moms, babies, children, and the medically vulnerable. After years of undiagnosed health issues that led to seeing over 110 specialists, Melissa cleaned up her life from the inside out - literally and figuratively. She's currently collaborating with the Mayo Clinic and Harvard compounding pharmacists to develop natural cleaning agents.
