We’re back!
In this intimate season opener, Jess and Melissa reunite to reflect on what the past twelve months demanded of them—personally, professionally, and spiritually. What began as a short break after Season 1 turned into a deep reckoning: with ambition, burnout, the myth of “readiness,” and the humbling reality of what it takes to live your dream.
Melissa shares the unfiltered journey of launching The Nova, a soul-centered community for women, and the hard-earned lessons of leadership that no business book prepares you for. Jess opens up about surrender, stillness, and the surprising love story that arrived on the other side of letting go.
Together, they reflect on the growth that comes through challenge, the illusion of being “ready,” and how being a “bummer dreamer” (yes, that’s a thing) can still lead to magic—and how everything aligned with your truth eventually finds its way to you.
This episode is a raw and hopeful reminder that even when it looks like things are falling apart, life may be quietly rearranging itself in your favor.

- Burnout and rebuilding
- Starting (and restarting) a soul business
- The myth of “readiness”
- Surrender and the creative void
