What started as a fundraiser for her high school students became a national brand with heart, and helped send 13 girls to college. But for Melissa Camilleri, success wasn’t just about revenue. After scaling her e-commerce business and launching a bestselling course, she knew something had to change.

In this episode, Melissa shares the real story behind her leap from classroom teacher to six-figure entrepreneur, and why she walked away at the height of her success. We talk about the power of service, how to blend heart with strategy, and what it looks like to build a business that honors your life, not runs it.

Whether you're scaling, pivoting, or just starting out, Melissa offers wisdom on navigating change, trusting your gut, and standing for the and—the idea that you can be a present parent and run a thriving business, earn abundantly and serve meaningfully, and live a life that reflects all of who you are.
