    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. Key Moments: [2:30] What audacity really means | [7:35] Shadow work origin story: the dating pattern that changed everything | [11:41] How Libby helps clients find the root fear behind every block | [14:33] Parts work & getting your inner critic on board | [28:26] Your business has a birth chart — and an aura | [32:05] Audacity Aura: the 6-month mastermind for women ready to expand | [41:34] The journal prompt for stepping into your audacity aura era right now.

    Ep 2 - From Carrying the Load to Overflow

    Welcome back to The Self-Love Path. In this solo episode, I dive deep into the invisible loads we carry as women, mamas, and multi-passionate humans—the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic weight that keeps us stuck in survival mode. I break down the three categories of what we carry, share vulnerable real-life examples, and introduce the Triple P Loop (perfectionism, proving, productivity) that keeps us disconnected from ourselves. Then I guide you through five powerful practices to shift from energy drain to overflow—including a live breathwork session you can do right now. I close with a signature poem reading, “Meet Me Here Now,” to bring us back into presence. Key Moments: [1:28] What it means to carry the load | [1:59] The 3 categories of what we carry | [6:37] What happens when we carry it all | [6:58] The Triple P Loop | [7:53] Practice 1: Make the invisible load visible | [13:35] Practice 2: Parts check-ins | [16:20] Practice 3: Breathwork | [21:49] Live guided breathwork session | [24:23] Practice 4: Boundaries for energy leaks | [26:16] Practice 5: Finding glimmers, joy & magic | [29:28] Poetry reading: “Meet Me Here Now” Connect with Melissa: ✨ Website: melissaforselflove.com✨ Instagram: @radiantmelissaspratt✨ Book a Self-Love Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/hello-melissaforselflove/claritycall✨ Substack: The Self-Love Path This is a public episode.
