How to Build the Life You Want (Even When You Feel Overloaded, Exhausted, & Uncertain)

Feeling overloaded, discouraged, and overwhelmed? You’re not alone.

Today’s episode will show you how to keep going and explore new possibilities for yourself, even during uncertain times.

Mel’s guest today, Kellie Gerardi, is here to give you the step-by-step process to building the life you want.

Kellie is an astronaut and bioastronautics researcher who went from working coat check to leading research missions in space.

And Kellie doesn’t just take you into space - she takes you into the real-life moments most people never talk about.

She speaks about infertility, IVF, ambition, motherhood, and big dreams in a candid way you rarely hear discussed.

Together, Mel and Kellie walk through 3 truths that will change how you show up to your life.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

-How to keep going even during challenging times.

-The question that changes everything: Why not me?

-Why extraordinary things aren't reserved for extraordinary people.

-You can become the person you want to be, but you have to act like it first.

-Why hiding isn’t strength, it’s self-destruction.

-Rules are made to be broken.

-People will judge you no matter what you do. Let them.

Whether you're going after a goal, discouraged in the face of setbacks, or just trying to get through the day, this episode will give you the motivation, courage, and tools you need.
