Working with my business coach, Melissa, has been a game-changer. She expertly guided me through starting my business to set me up for success. Melissa's passion for helping new business owners is evident—you can tell she cares deeply about
her clients and their success.
Without her, my business would still be a dream.

~ Monica Claridge
Owner, Rock LIfe

My journey began with an indie bookshop in a small coastal town in Alaska, which later grew to a 3,000 sq. ft. store.

Two years in, I co-founded a soy candle business with my childhood friend, Laura, expanding to wholesale across Alaska and the lower 48.

I've designed products, sold them everywhere from farmers' markets to Amazon, and discovered my passion for helping others start and grow their businesses.

People started asking me for business coaching, and it turned into my favorite venture.

I've been where you are—balancing a packed life while building a business.

Now, I pass on the kindnesses and insights I've received, helping others achieve their dreams
