    #329: Stop Fizzling Out: Protect Your Momentum and Follow Through
    2025/09/30
    Most people don't actually lose momentum. They never create it in the first place. This episode explores why excitement alone isn't enough and what it really takes to build momentum that delivers results. Law firm owners often feel energized after retreats, masterminds, conferences, or coaching sessions, but without a system, that energy fades. The difference isn't willpower or discipline.

    You'll learn simple but powerful steps to turn potential into action, how to focus on the right priorities, protect time for what matters, stay connected to your goals, and execute consistently even when motivation dips. These strategies make the difference between ideas that fizzle and results that stick.

    Are you pushing yourself toward high performance at the risk of burnout? In this episode, Melissa sits down with Jeff Salzenstein, a former top-100 tennis player turned high-performance coach.

Through his story, you’ll discover how capacity under pressure, intentional practice, and deliberate coaching can turn struggles into sustainable growth.

    #327: What the Last 12 Months Taught Me About Transformation
    2025/09/16
    Are you investing in the long game, or just chasing quick wins? Over the past 12 months, Melissa faced some of the biggest challenges and investments of her life—in business, health, and personal growth. As she reflected, she realized that all of the lessons tie back to one central theme: the difference between short-game and long-game investments. In this episode, she shares eight lessons that illustrate why thinking long-term changes everything.

    Melissa breaks down how long-game investments create transformation that goes beyond temporary fixes. She explores why consistent, intentional effort compounds over time, how identity shifts are at the core of real change, and why the people you surround yourself with can make or break your long-term progress. These lessons are designed to help you approach your firm, your work, and your life with clarity, patience, and strategy.

    #325: Non-Linear Growth for Law Firm Owners Part 2
    2025/09/02

    Most law firm owners think scaling means working harder, hiring more people, or pushing through the chaos—but why does growth still feel unsustainable? They're pouring energy into complex systems, tolerating mediocrity, and wondering why progress is so slow. The truth is, they're making the same three fundamental mistakes that quietly sabotage their ability to scale.

    In this second part of the series, based on The Science of Scaling by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Melissa breaks down exactly what those mistakes are and how they show up in your firm. From avoiding goal setting altogether to pursuing conflicting priorities, these errors keep you stuck in linear growth patterns. She explains the psychology behind why your brain needs clear goals, what happens when you aim too low, and why having multiple competing objectives guarantees you won't scale.

She explains why law firm owners often optimize things that shouldn't even exist and the difference between linear growth and strategic scaling. By following Hardy's framework, you'll learn how to make better decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and scale your firm with intention—without unnecessary stress and burnout.
