When Nick and I got together in 2013, I’ll never forget our first Christmas together. Leo, my beautiful bonus son, was surrounded by mountains of presents from well-meaning, loving family: grandparents, aunties, uncles, the whole village. Watching him tear through box after box, I remember this deep feeling rising up in me. It wasn’t judgment; it was clarity.

I turned to Nick and said, “After this, let’s do it differently. No more stuff. Let’s give memories instead.”

That moment changed everything. From then on, birthdays and Christmases became about experiences: camping trips under the stars, concerts that left us buzzing, weekends away, and F1 races that had Leo beaming from ear to ear. It’s those moments, not the things, that we still talk about years later.

Maybe that’s why I’ve never been a huge gift-giver. It’s actually at the bottom of my love language list. But when I do give gifts, they have to matter. They have to mean something. I want them to enrich the woman receiving them, to help her feel more nourished, radiant, and grounded in her power and purpose.

So whether you’re a mama, a business owner, or both, this is my Conscious Gift Guide: a collection of the products I truly love and live by. The ones I travel with, use daily, and recommend wholeheartedly because they’ve made a real difference in my life.

For Glowing Toxic-Free Skin

Your skin is your largest organ, and what you put on it absorbs straight into your bloodstream within seconds. Traditional skincare often contains endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormones, skin barrier function, and even fertility.

That’s why I adore Wildcrafted Organics, skincare that’s clean, potent, and full of plant intelligence. These formulations use bioactive botanicals that feed your skin cells with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off)

For makeup, I love Eye of Horus (Use the code Melissa15 for 15% off) and Ere Perez. Both are performance-driven and toxin-free, staying put through filming, speaking on stages, and podcast days without clogging pores or throwing off hormonal balance. You really can have luminous skin and clean ingredients.

For the Soulful CEO

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after building multiple seven-figure businesses while raising a family, it’s that your business will only grow to the level of your mindset, nervous system, and self-worth.

The strategy matters, yes, but the woman behind the strategy is what makes it work. That’s why the most powerful gifts you can give a woman in business are the ones that expand her inner world as much as her external success.

Here’s what I’d give every ambitious, heart-driven woman I know:

Mastering Your Mean Girl
Mindset matters. This book is the permission slip to finally quiet the voice that says you’re not enough. You’ll learn to spot self-sabotage in real time, build unwavering self-trust, and make decisions from love instead of fear, the true foundation of confidence and leadership.
The average person has over 60,000 thoughts a day, 80% of them negative and 95% repetitive. Re-training your inner dialogue rewires your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) to seek opportunity instead of threat.

Open Wide
Relationships are everything in life, business, and motherhood. This book helps you soften into deeper intimacy, communication, and connection so the people around you—your team, clients, partner, kids—feel seen. Emotional safety breeds creativity and innovation.

Comparisonitis
When you’re constantly scrolling and comparing, your nervous system stays stuck in low-grade fight-or-flight. This book helps you detach your worth from likes, followers, and metrics and return to your own lane of genius.
Why this matters: Chronic comparison triggers cortisol spikes that drain creative energy and impair decision-making. Learning to regulate that response frees bandwidth for growth and joy.

Time Magic
Our time is sacred, and how we use it shapes everything: our health, our happiness, and our success.

Time Magic is the guide Nick and I wrote to help you stop feeling like there’s never enough time and start creating more of it for what truly matters. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what matters most.

Two of my favourite tools we teach in the book are Tick or Flick, a quick method to clear mental clutter, and Priority Planning, which teaches you how to design your week around your top priorities so you’re moving toward what’s meaningful instead of reacting to what’s urgent. These shifts alone can help you reclaim hours every week and dramatically lower stress.

Because time management isn’t really about calendars or apps; it’s about alignment. When you fill your days with what truly matters, time expands.

Wholy Mama Journal
For the mama walking the path of expansion. This journal anchors you in gratitude, reflection, and alignment—a sacred space to connect intuition with inspired action.

EMF-Free Air Tube Headphones
Because energy hygiene matters as much as mental hygiene, I use EMF-Free Air Tube Headphones to protect my brain from unnecessary exposure while listening to podcasts or meditations. Your brain runs on electricity, and keeping that field clean matters. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off) 

These aren’t just books or tools. They’re energetic upgrades for your mind, your business, and your nervous system.

For the Biohacking Babe

When you’re doing meetings, trying to be creative, mother, lead, and tick off a to-do list that never ends, energy isn’t something you simply have; it’s something you manage. Every choice you make either feeds or drains your cellular vitality.

That’s why biohacking has become one of my favourite tools for living in alignment with how I want to feel: focused, vibrant, and fully present.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love Hydrogen Health. These aren’t gadgets; they’re rituals that help you function at your highest potential. (Use the code Melissa for 20% off all Hydrogen Health goodies).

Portable Molecular Hydrogen Breathing System
Hydrogen is the smallest and most powerful antioxidant molecule on Earth. It neutralizes free radicals, reduces inflammation, and supports mitochondrial energy, meaning clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better focus. I use it while I work to keep my energy stable through long creative sessions without caffeine crashes.

Multistage Benchtop Water Filter
The water you drink becomes your cells, so quality matters. This system removes chlorine, fluoride, microplastics, heavy metals, and endocrine disruptors that quietly throw hormones and energy off balance. Pure water improves digestion, skin, and mental clarity.

Hydrogen Health Shower Filter
Your skin drinks what you shower in, and chlorine exposure through steam can be higher than from drinking tap water. This filter protects your skin barrier, hair, and thyroid while keeping your nervous system calm. We even travel with ours, one for the shower and one under the kitchen sink, because clean water shouldn’t depend on location.

Hydrogen Health Water Bottle
This hydrogen-infused bottle turns hydration into a wellness ritual. The infused hydrogen supports recovery, boosts energy, and delivers antioxidants directly to your cells. It lives on my desk and travels with me everywhere.

When you nurture your biology at this level, life feels different. You think clearer, sleep deeper, and recover faster. You move through your day with calm focus instead of adrenaline and still have energy left for what truly matters.

Because when your body feels supported, everything else flows: business, creativity, motherhood, presence.

For Deep Sleep & Healing 

Sleep is the ultimate biohack. It’s where healing, repair, and nervous system recalibration happen—your body’s nightly meeting to review, restore, and reset.

When you’re leading a business or raising little ones, deep sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s the foundation. It allows you to think clearly, regulate emotions, and lead with creativity instead of survival.

Blackout Sleep Mask
Even tiny light leaks from street lamps or phone chargers can suppress melatonin by up to 50%. This mask blocks all light, signalling your body that it’s safe to rest deeply. Melatonin is one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants, essential for hormone balance, cellular repair, and emotional regulation. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off) 

Mouth Tape
If you sleep with your mouth open, you’re likely over-breathing and losing CO₂ balance, which keeps your body in a mild stress state all night. Mouth taping encourages nasal breathing, improving oxygen delivery and activating your parasympathetic nervous system so you wake up truly restored. (Use the code Melissa for 10% off) 

Red Light Toothbrush
So much of health begins in the mouth. The red light supports gum regeneration, reduces inflammation, and balances the oral microbiome, which impacts digestion, immunity, and brain health. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off) 

Red Light
Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate skin and muscle tissue, increasing mitochondrial energy (ATP) and collagen production. Think of it as charging your cells the way you charge your phone but better. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off) 

Infrared PEMF Sauna Dome
Combining the detoxifying heat of infrared with pulsed electromagnetic frequencies, this sauna dome improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and recharges your cells at the deepest level. It lowers cortisol, supports lymphatic drainage, and promotes deep parasympathetic relaxation, the state where healing, creativity, and intuition thrive. (Use the code Melissa for 15% off) 

When your sleep is optimized, everything else flows. Focus sharpens, patience expands, creativity blooms, and your body works with you, not against you. Because being an entrepreneur or a mama isn’t about doing more; it’s about recovering faster so you can show up fully for what and who matters most. 

For Home Harmony

Our homes are energetic containers. They either drain or replenish us. Here’s how to keep yours aligned and light-friendly.

Night Light
Gentle amber light that doesn’t disrupt melatonin. Bambi loves hers and sleeps from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Full Spectrum Lamp
Blue light after sunset tells your brain it’s noon, delaying melatonin release. These lamps mimic natural daylight by day and support circadian balance.

Light Sensitivity Glasses
Wear after sunset to protect your circadian rhythm and reduce headaches from artificial light.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses
My bedtime ritual staple for reading. They block 100% of blue light so sleep hormones stay balanced.

Sunglasses
These allow beneficial red and infrared light through while blocking harmful UV and blue light, keeping your circadian rhythm aligned even outdoors.

Blue Light Blocking Clip Light
Clips to your book or Kindle for gentle late-night reading or tending to little ones without harsh light that wakes the brain.

The Heart Behind the Gifts

I share these not because we need more things, but because what we surround ourselves with matters. Your environment either drains or elevates your energy. And when you’re a woman building a business, nurturing a family, and expanding into your next level, you need tools that support your frequency, not deplete it.

These gifts are about health, vitality, and alignment. About choosing better, not just more.

So whether you’re treating yourself, gifting your team, or sending something special to a sister who needs a lift, may this list inspire you to give consciously, live intentionally, and fill your world with things that make you feel truly alive.

Because you deserve that, always.
