Between the microagressions experienced as a Black woman in corporate America and growing passion for wellness and fitness, Melanie Smith knew she wanted something different. She had to ask herself, “is it time to bet on myself?”

In this episode, Melanie, who is an integrative nutrition coach, pharmacist and fitness instructor, shares the microaggressions and burnout that led to her breaking point, what the transition to full-time entrepreneurship really looked like, and how she's helping other women heal their minds and bodies through holistic wellness.

  • The emotional toll of staying too long
  • How to prepare mentally and financially for a career pivot
