When I share success stories from my coaching practice, I always tell the story of my guest's today. Melissa Lockhart and I met at a pivotal moment in her HR career. Our work together led her to leave a successful career in HR to start her very own nightwear brand, Melda Moda. Today, Melissa joins me to share her HR story and explain why she left corporate HR to pursue her passion.
It was a pleasure speaking with Melissa to learn about the drivers that led her to make the choice she did and about her success so far. Melissa is a true success story of what life looks like on the other side of HR burnout. She has been featured in Essence, Brides, and Uptown, and her line is worn by everyday women as well as Real Housewives and Influencers.
I am so proud of Melissa for doing the work internally to help her get to where she is today. I am honoured to have been a part of her story, and we hope her story will encourage you.
Melissa also recommended checking out the book Bevelations: Lessons from a Mutha, Auntie, Bestie by Bevy Smith.
