If your purpose had a voice, what would it whisper?
These conversations help you actualize that answer.
Awareness. Alignment. Action.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Embracing the Joy of Missing Out as your new decision making strategy.

It doesn’t mean you are abandoning your ambition, your passion, your relationships.

What it does mean is that you are giving yourself the permission to be more intentional about what you allow on your calendar, or not.

It’s now just under 2 months away and so the official countdown to publication day of my new book, The Purpose Pivot (in partnership with Wiley Publishing) begins 🙏🏽

This is me putting my vulnerability out there, and hoping together we can change the belief that wellbeing is just a side project. And that when our bodies are talking to us and need that check in, we see our ability to listen as a strength not as a weakness.

In my book, this new account and my upcoming podcast (launching this week!), we will dive into dozens of exclusively shared stories, experiences, and learnings of successful individuals.

Purpose Pivot notes for the week ahead 📝

Feeling seen matters. It gives language to something we may have been carrying for a long time.

But the shift happens when that awareness starts changing our choices—what we say yes to, what we stop tolerating, and where we decide to use our energy differently.

This week’s reminder: notice what you already know, then make one choice that allows you to move forward.

September 30th was a different kind of birthday.🎂

One year of embracing what my lived experiences have taught me.
Collaborating with powerful women I admire.
The workshops. The book stops. The conversations.
And through all of it, experiencing firsthand the power of community.

In this first year of The Purpose Pivot, I found new parts of myself.
I watched people I know—and people I had never met—feel seen by this conversation.
But I also witnessed the gap between “I feel seen” and “I know how to change.”
And that is the work still ahead.

This is just year one. My hope is that a year from now, we’ve continued to close that gap—making it more possible to put well-being on equal footing with ambition and success throughout our careers.

Thank you to my friend @slilien and her incredible team at @loveshackfancy.soho for hosting such a beautiful celebration.
Thank you to the contributors, book tour sponsors, and hosts who have been part of this first year—and to those who were able to celebrate with us.
I was also so grateful that the evening could support @cancerandcareers, an organization whose work means a great deal to us.

More content from some of the incredible contributors who joined us to come…🎙️

Purpose Pivot notes for the week ahead ✍🏽

You don’t have to lower the bar.
You may just need to change how you reach it.
A different way can be both ambitious + sustainable.

As we approach one year of The Purpose Pivot, my heart looks back at all the incredible moments- one workshop, one conversation, one book signing at a time.

What I can validate is that unanimously people feel seen by the conversation around the relationship between well-being and success but we still have a long way to go in embracing that they can exist with equal importance.

The next chapter is making that belief a reality—one small change at a time. 📕✍🏽 by @purposepivotwithmelissa

We spend a lot of time talking about how to manage our time. But the more useful question may be: what is our energy telling us?

This week, I joined Deutsche Bank’s Women on Wall Street (WOWS) community at @argent for an interactive Purpose Pivot Energy Audit built around that question.

We looked beyond the packed calendar and got more specific: What consistently gives you energy? What quietly takes it away? What are you continuing to say yes to by default? And where might a clearer boundary create more room for the things of impact?

What I appreciated most was how willing the room was to really look at the patterns. Sustainable success isn’t built by protecting our energy in theory. It comes from noticing where it’s going—and making more intentional choices about our time, attention, and ambition.

After the workshop, the Argent team took us into a styling session focused on color, confidence, and self-expression. 💫

Thank you to Women on Wall Street at Deutsche Bank for creating the space, and to @salichristeson and Argent for hosting us in your beautiful SoHo store. A really thoughtful night of conversation, reflection—and a few very good outfits!

Purpose Pivot Notes for the week ahead 📝

Some goals are meant to be achieved. Others are meant to be outgrown.

We can spend so much time becoming the person we once imagined that we don’t always notice when our definition of success has changed.

Growth isn’t dismissing what got you here. It means being willing to ask whether the goals you once set still reflect the life you want to build now.

You can honor who you were—and still make room for who you’re becoming. by @purposepivotwithmelissa
