Missing periods, PCOS, endometriosis and PMS… odds are, either you or someone you love struggles with one (or more) of these painful conditions every month. But your cycle does NOT have to be a cause of pain, frustration or moodiness, and today’s podcast guest — Dr. Lara Briden — is going to tell us why. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/71 Dr. Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and ‘period revolutionary’ — leading the change to better periods for all women.

Her book Period Repair Manual is a manifesto for woman who want to reimagine their cycle and provides practical solutions using nutrition, supplements, and natural hormones.

Is ‘hustle and grind’ how life’s meant to be? Is climbing your way to the ‘top’ really the end-game we should be aiming for? Is financial freedom truly what it's all about? Not according to today’s superstar podcast guest (and my beautiful soul sister) Peta Kelly, who says there is a New Way to becoming more successful than the generations before us and a New Way to live, lead, earn and give. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/69 Peta is a serial entrepreneur and author who’s built multiple seven-figure businesses and created a load of success in her life.

We touch on so many juicy topics — from tapping into your creative flow, to living your true genius, to the ancient wisdom that will empower each of us (along with the rest of the planet) to rise out of mediocrity and truly thrive.
