    Episode 13 - I got stuck in a toilet in Venice. Here's what my brain did next !

    Ever had your brain turn something tiny into a full catastrophe before you’d even checked if it was real? This episode started in a toilet in Venice. A sealed cubicle, no light, no signal, and a brain that had already decided an Italian waiter was going to have to kick the door down Spoiler: the door just needed a push. In this episode Mel talks about what was really happening in that dark cubicle, why her brain went straight to worst case scenario, what thirty year old evidence had to do with it, and why this is something every single one of us does. Not just in toilets in Venice. In decisions, conversations, relationships and businesses every single day. This one is funny. And honest. And genuinely useful.

    Episode 11- 550'000 Reasons To Keep Going. Even When You Can't See It Working

    I went to a tulip field at the weekend. 550,000 bulbs. And I couldn’t stop thinking about it afterwards. Not one of those bulbs waited to feel ready. Not one of them asked for permission to bloom. They were planted, nurtured and when the time came they just grew. Towards the light. Without apology. And it got me thinking about the two ways we get in our own way. The first is not planting at all. Keeping the bulb in the bag. Waiting until conditions feel perfect. Until we feel ready enough. The second, and this one is just as sneaky, is planting and then digging it up before it has a chance to grow. Changing everything because we can’t see results yet. Pivoting from fear not from wisdom. In this episode I’m talking about both. The good girl conditioning that keeps us waiting. The expectation gap that makes us uproot before we bloom. The weeds we need to pull. And what happens when we finally trust the process enough to leave the bulb in the ground. There are 550,000 reasons not to dig. This episode is all of them.

    Episode 10 - The Stage I Didn’t Know I Was Performing On

    I danced from the age of three. For nearly thirty years the stage was the place I felt completely and utterly myself. No mask. No adjusting. Just me. What I didn’t know was that I’d taken the performing with me when I left. In this episode I’m talking about the other kind of performing. The kind that creeps in so quietly you don’t notice it happening. The people pleasing, the lost voice, the saying yes when you mean no. The exhaustion of being whatever the room needs you to be. And how I finally saw it for what it was. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing your way through your own life, this one’s for you. Ready to find out what’s actually running the show for you?

    Episode 9 - 3 Months of being certain... and then this

    Three months. Completely certain. No wobble. No doubt. Building everything, believing in all of it, knowing exactly why I was doing it. And then I launched The Back Yourself Live Experience. My first live session — not a digital product, not something that sits on a shelf. Me. Live. Asking people to show up and trust me to guide them. And everything came flooding in.  The questions. The doubts. The spiral. Things I hadn't felt in three months, showing up the moment I stepped into genuinely new territory. I won't tell you how many times I refreshed Stripe 🫣  And then I caught it. Noticed what was happening. And did something about it.  This episode is about what that actually was, why it happens even when everything feels right, and what I did when I noticed it. In real time. Last week. If this episode resonated and you're ready to go deeper in to to this. The Back Yourself Live Experience is happening on 30 April, 7pm UK. A live 90 minute session with me. Details and booking here Come and find me on Instagram @melleslieofficial and LinkedIn — Mel Leslie. I'd love to continue the conversation there.  All roads lead.

    Episode 8 - She Looks Like She's Got Everything Together... She Hasn't.

    She looks like she’s got it all together. Confident. Grounded. Fully in her lane. But what if that’s not the full picture? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve been noticing, not just in others, but in myself too. Because the women we often put on pedestals? The ones who seem the most certain, the most magnetic, the most “there”... they’re still in it. Still evolving. Still navigating things no one else can see. We talk about: The difference between embodying who you’re becoming vs performing itThe invisible pressure to have everything sorted before you’re “allowed” to be seenWhat it really means to be fully yourself (hint: it’s not just confidence)Why it actually takes more courage to change when things are already workingAnd the quiet, brave work of choosing yourself, even when no one else sees itIf you’ve ever felt like you should be further along by now… Or wondered why, despite everything looking “good”, something still feels off… This one will land. And if it does, I’ve created something for you. ✨ Back Yourself — The Live Experience A space to come back to yourself, reconnect with what’s true, and stop performing a version of success that doesn’t fully fit anymore.
