2024 was a year I thought would go one way, but it turned out completely different. From the outside, you might think everything was smooth sailing—but behind the scenes, it was a year of unexpected challenges, growth, and powerful lessons.

In today’s episode of the Women Inspiring Women podcast, I’m getting real about the curveballs life threw at me this year and how I navigated them. 

Plus, I’m revisiting one of my favorite analogies: the lighthouse story. If you’ve heard it before, you know how it’s shaped the way I view change, even when it feels unwelcome or uncomfortable.

Change isn’t always what we want or expect, but often, it’s exactly what we need. My hope is that this episode encourages you to embrace the uncertainty of life with faith and resilience.

What You’ll Hear in Today’s Episode:

The surprises and lessons I encountered in 2024
How I shifted my mindset to grow through challenges
Why change, even when it’s hard, can lead to incredible breakthroughs
A retelling of my lighthouse story and how it applies to seasons of transition
Practical tools for navigating life’s unexpected twists
This isn’t just a reflection—it’s a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, disappointed, or unsure about what’s next.

Episode 323: From Grief to Growth: Lessons from Business Challenges in 2025

Hi, I'm Melanie! I built my business at my kitchen table, on the couch, and basically anywhere I had wifi. I had no background in social media, no network marketing experience, and no idea what I was doing.

6 years later, I have created a substantial income for my family through blogging, Facebook, Instagram, and creating value to support others in reaching their health, fitness and business goals.

My mission is to provide you content to help you so that you can reach success faster without having to reinvent the wheel!
