Building a 7-figure business doesn't require you to be fully healed first - but it does require you to stop operating from survival mode and start building from a place of worthiness.
In this raw and powerful conversation, Mel Brandt shares her journey from poverty mindset and severe childhood trauma to building a multiple 7-figure online business in just 8 years.
This isn't your typical "hustle harder" success story - Mel reveals how she scaled 2,903% in one week (from $6K to $186K), nearly killed herself in the process, and had to completely restructure her business to align with her values instead of building from her wounds.
You'll learn why most entrepreneurs self-sabotage when they quantum leap, the exact moment Mel stopped giving her power away, and how she now runs her entire business working only Tuesday-Thursday from 10am-2pm while living between Brisbane and Bali.
We'll cover:
If you've been waiting until you're "healed enough" to scale your business - or you're stuck in the hustle cycle wondering why success feels so hard to hold - this conversation will shift everything.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses childhood trauma, abuse, and toxic relationships.
Ever wondered what it really looks like to be in relationship with a man who doesn’t shut down, get defensive, or try to fix you — but actually stays present, listens, and holds you when you’re overwhelmed, emotional, or needing support?
In this episode, Jess sits down with men’s coach and facilitator Kosta Michalopoulos for a powerful conversation on embodied masculinity — and why it changes everything for a woman’s emotional safety, relationships, confidence, and even her success in life and business.
You’ll hear Kosta’s raw story of losing himself, rebuilding from rock bottom, and developing the emotional awareness, communication, and inner safety required to become an embodied man.
Together, we explore:
• What embodied masculinity actually means
• The difference between reacting and responding
• Why emotional awareness is the foundation of healthy relationships
• How unhealed patterns shape partnership, parenting, and purpose
• What helps a woman soften, feel held, and thrive in her life + business
• How men can begin this work (even if vulnerability feels confronting)
• How to invite your partner into growth — without nagging, pushing, or mothering him
If you’re ready to step into deeper connection, cleaner communication, and relationships that expand you instead of drain you… you’re going to love this one.

🎙 Next week, Jess takes this conversation deeper with Kosta Michalopoulos, exploring what an embodied man looks like in relationship - and how that supports a woman’s success.
Manifestation isn't just about vision boards and positive affirmations - if your nervous system doesn't feel safe to receive what you desire, you'll sabotage your success every time.
In this episode, Jess breaks down how to quantum leap by aligning your energy, nervous system, and subconscious beliefs with what you truly desire. Forget vision boards and blind positivity - Jess explains the trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware approach to manifestation that changes the game in your business journey.
You’ll learn why your body might reject what your mind says it wants, how to identify if you’re manifesting from fear or worthiness, and the three pillars of her Alignment Method to create results from safety instead of survival.
We'll cover:
If you’ve ever wondered why your affirmations or “high-vibe” practices aren’t translating into real results - or why you keep sabotaging what you manifest - this is your missing piece.

Burnout isn’t a badge - and if time off hasn’t fixed it, you’re not doing it wrong. Protect your energy and rebuild capacity with simple, sustainable shifts.
Burnout isn’t about how much you’re doing - it’s about the patterns driving why you’re doing it. In this episode, Jess shares her personal story of over-functioning and people-pleasing, how childhood-wired beliefs keep women saying yes when their body says no, and the shift from giving out of obligation to serving from overflow.

Self-sabotage shows up when your subconscious and nervous system try to keep you safe. In this episode, Jess breaks down how early experiences wire beliefs like “If I slow down, I’m not enough” or “If I succeed, I’ll be judged,” and how those beliefs drive procrastination, perfectionism, people-pleasing and how to break the cycle.
