OMGoodness Mel! Thank you so much for this amazing, in-depth and insight driven interview. You and Selena were so generous with your wisdom and time. As a former Advertising Strategist, I could always do and create fabulous concepts for big brands but starting my own business, finding my own voice, creating my own brand is so different, despite my overflowing passion, authenticity to give and being on my spiritual path. I’ll be watching that video a number of times and thank you so much. I am grateful. You are such an inspiration to me xo
Hi Justine, thanks so much for checking out my interview with Mel!
It can be hard to get clear on our own brand and message (even if we are great at doing it for others). Happy to hear that what we shared was helpful, and wishing you so much luck with your biz! xo, Selena
Thank you very much Melissa for connecting me to the awareness of what I have been doing right and the confirmation to continue! I truly appreciate your passion for reaching the greater community to change an individuals life!
A big virtual Hug!
Thank you so much beautiful Jaclyn. A big virtual hug right back at cha 😉

I loved this! So many great tips. I especially loved seeing you light up as you spoke about your big message. Beyond grateful for the work that you do. xx
Thank you so much Morgan. I miss working with you. Sending you so much love sweetie pie.

Hi Melissa
Thank you so much for sharing this post! I found the information you share here with Selena so helpful. As a life coach and wellness blogger just at the beginning of my journey, the tips you share gave me so many ah ha moments. I loved that you mention experts like to be approached. My friend and I came up to you after Gabby’s event after building up the courage to do so because we admire you so much. For some reason I avoid going up to those I admire because I think they are too busy and I don’t want to invade their space. But I did it anyway and meeting you,was so refreshing because you are just so down to earth, authentic and beautiful on the inside too!. Meeting you in person has made me admire you even more and made me an even bigger fan of yours.Thank you for always posting beautiful and heart warming posts and doing what you do. It is very much appreciated. Love Tess
Thank you so much for your kind words Tess. I loved meeting you at the event and so glad you felt the fear and did it anyway. Please do come up to me again for a big squeeze at the next one 😉

Hi Melissa,
Wonderful post, thank you! I love the idea of the guest post and am keen to make a start on this this week…but I’m not quite sure what a guest post is exactly? Could you define this in more detail please? Thank you! xx
Hi Verity,
I guest post is where you write a post for someone else. For example I have written for Mind Body Green and the Huffington Post. But you can write for other people’s blogs and websites as long as it’s aligned. All you have to do is ask if you can write a post for them. I personally don’t take any guest posts but loads of other sites do. Maybe write a list of the top 5 websites you want to write for and over the next week your job is to email them and ask them if you can write a post for them. Easy as pie 😉
Let me know how you go sweetie.

WOW! Thank you so much Melissa! This video was so helpful. As a former PR consultant (turned women’s health coach) I thought I’d heard pretty much heard it all – but ding, ding ding, Selina had super simple and fresh tips to help. And this is exactly the stuff I need to hear over and over to keep FEAR in it’s place! Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you know…
Big love & thank you
Hi Domonique, love that. It’s important to keep fear in its place, as it will always be there. As the saying goes, “If your dreams doesn’t scare you, they’re not big enough!”
This is so beautiful. Thank you Melissa and Selena! It is so wonderful when you receive exactly what you need at the right time and this has been another one of those moments for me. I love your work Melissa, and look forward to following yours now too Selena – the guest collab has definitely worked this time! Much love X
Hi Gemma, so happy to know that you heard this at the right time! Wishing you lots of luck in business & in life. =)
Dear Melissa,
Thank you so much for the interview with Selena! I’m currently working with a wonderful blog coach who has been giving me the confidence to put myself out there and contact the people I admire for guest posts. I feel like this interview is a sign that I can truly do it! I am going to make it happen in the next couple of weeks!! Love over fear!
I am so grateful to have come across your work and I am absolutely loving Get Your Glow on! I wish I had had the opportunity to say hi to you at Gabby’s workshop like my brave friend Tess. Big love and hugs to you for being such a positive influence to us all xoxo
Hey Amanda,
I am so glad you love Get Your Glow On. And please come say hi next time cutie.

Thank you so much. So incredibly timely. I have been working in the health and wellness space but my life has taken a little turn into a path of helping others with their business. I spent years working in media and advertising and have felt God calling me to use that experience in a different way and help promote other people’s messages in the personal development word. I particularly want to help explode the scene in Australia! I have been working closely with someone in the US who’s message I believe in with all my heart and I’ll do whatever it takes to get him out to the world, because the world needs his presence. I feel really called to this work but have had no idea how to really turn this into a business and attract more clients. (also a little fear of letting go what I thought I was supposed to be doing in the wellness world)
In my meditations I can see this path so clearly but I keep asking for more guidance to get me there. Seeing what you, Selena are doing gives me so much inspiration. You’re walking the path before me and it was such a sign for me to step up and be this!
Thank you to both of you!
Lyn, you can absolutely turn your passion for promoting others into a business! Not only that, but I know plenty of people making a great living do that. You can do it. =)
thank you both so much for this awesome video!! I have been hanging out all day to sit down and watch this 🙂
very excited to put all of these tips into practice xx
Awesome! Best of luck implementing the tips. Feel free to email me to let me know how it goes. =)
This totally lit me up! Thanks Melissa + Selena. Inspirational, encouraging and perfect timing for me xx
So happy this came at the perfect time for you. =)
Great interview Melissa, insightful and some great tips
thanks for sharing as had some great new perspectives
Loved this interview, thank you Mel + Selena!
Hi melissa and Selena,
Thanks for an amazing interview. You are both so inspiring.
Selena – I have not long started a wellbeing blog ( as I’m on my own long term health journey) and eventually I have plans to turn the blog into a brand – with various projects and writing. You have given me some great tips which I really appreciate and I love that it is always about real connections and genuine authenticity.
Thanks so much
Love
Carly xx

Best wishes to both of you and thankyou again
