In this episode, Shannon sits down with Melanie Brandt, CEO of Lifestyle Industries and creator of multiple 6- and 7-figure businesses, to talk about what it really takes to build a thriving online brand — without burning out or losing yourself in the process.

From escaping a toxic relationship and rebuilding her life from scratch to running a global agency from Bali, Mel shares how she turned rock bottom into a multimillion-dollar empire by mastering two things most women avoid: systems and self-trust.

This isn’t just a conversation about business strategy — it’s a deep dive into energetics, embodiment, motherhood, and redefining what feminine leadership looks like when you’re juggling kids, clients, and your calling.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why burnout is often a systems problem, not a stamina problem
• How to build a business that runs with you, not drains you
• The truth about “feminine energy” and how to embody it without losing your edge
• Why comparison culture keeps so many women stuck in self-doubt
• What it really means to build scalable systems that create freedom and flow
• The mindset shift every woman needs to go from survival to CEO
