Ep. 286 - When Good Things and Hard Things Happen at Once: A Lesson in Expansion

Have you ever hit a moment where joy and heartbreak showed up at the exact same time — and you weren’t sure if it was self-sabotage, an upper limit, or simply life unfolding?


In this episode of Empowering Her, I open up about the day my husband and I finally got our dream New York City apartment — a manifestation twenty years in the making — and just minutes later, learned of a family loss. It made me stop and ask one big question: Was this the universe testing me, or was it just life reminding me that I can hold it all?


Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s conversation:

  • What the Upper Limit Problem really means, inspired by The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
  • How to recognize when you’re blocking your own expansion through fear or doubt
  • The difference between an upper limit and life simply happening
  • Why creating unnecessary meaning around hard moments keeps you stuck
  • How to grow your capacity to hold both joy and grief at the same time
  • Simple mindset shifts to help you move beyond self-sabotage and stay open to abundance


If you’re navigating your own season of growth — one where things feel both incredible and uncertain — this episode will remind you that it’s safe to expand, to receive, and to feel all of it.

Ep. 285 - How to Find Peace After Loss: Creating Your Own Belief System

What do you believe happens after we die—and does that belief bring you peace or pain? In this episode, we explore how loss invites us to reflect not only on legacy but on the beliefs we carry about the afterlife. We get to decide what serves us. We get to choose what feels true, comforting, and empowering.


This conversation is about how we move through grief, how we create meaning, and how we pass that meaning on to those we love. Whether you're navigating loss right now or holding space for someone who is, this episode is an invitation to come back to what you believe—and why it matters.


What you’ll hear in this episode:

– A reflection on the power of choosing your belief system

– Why belief is one of our greatest tools for healing and connection

– Thoughts on how we explain loss to the next generation

– A spiritual lens for processing death that centers peace and presence

– The idea that legacy is built in real time—through the way we live, love, and show up

– A reminder that meaning is something we get to create, moment by moment

– An invitation to craft a relationship with the beyond that brings comfort and strength


This episode is brought to you by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder and host of Let’s Talk Supply Chain, one of the top 1% podcasts in the world. Sarah is a powerhouse in a male-dominated industry, and her new memoir I Buried Her in a French Press: A Memoir About Finding My Voice and the Power of Being Heard is a must-read for anyone ready to claim their voice.

Ep. 284 - Stop Erasing Your Past: The Beauty of Every Chapter You’ve Lived

Every time I tried to run from my pain, I was also running from my power.


In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m sharing what a single line from And Just Like That taught me about how we view aging, pain, and growth. When I heard the words “poof, the last 15 years are gone,” I felt something deep inside me shift. Why would I ever want to erase the years that shaped me—the ones that broke me open, stretched me, and turned me into the woman I am today?

I talk about what it means to go through and grow through pain, how I’ve learned to heal my inner girl, and why that healing matters for the next generation watching us. When we stop trying to erase our stories, we become living examples of what strength, resilience, and authenticity look like for the girls who will come after us.


In This Episode, I Share:

  • Why I no longer wish away my past or try to “undo” the years that shaped me.
  • How I learned to stop avoiding pain and start asking what it’s here to teach me.
  • Why healing my inner girl helps me raise emotionally strong and grounded girls.
  • The mindset shift from “Why me?” to “What did this teach me?”
  • How reframing pain turns it into a powerful source of wisdom and strength.
  • What the next generation learns when we model emotional honesty and healing.
  • Why every challenge becomes a portal to our deepest power if we let it.

Ep. 282 - The Antidote to a World That Feels Divided: Raising the Next Gen with Connection

What if connection really is the antidote to a world that feels divided — for us and for the next generation?


In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a real and unfiltered conversation (recorded right from my car) about what it means to choose connection in a world that seems designed to pull us apart. From family gatherings over the Jewish New Year, to my own shifts with technology, to a story from my travels in France — this episode is all about the simple, everyday ways we can reclaim presence and pass it forward to the kids and teens in our lives.


Here’s what I share with you:

  • Why reflection doesn’t have to be judgmental, and how I set intentions for what I want more of.
  • A powerful reel from Jonathan Haidt that reframed the way I see kids and devices.
  • My personal journey of breaking free from letting my phone hijack my mornings.
  • The choice we all have between looking for darkness or looking for light.
  • How attempting to speak French opened unexpected doors of connection while traveling.
  • Why modeling connection matters so much for the next generation — and how we can do it daily.


And of course, I’ll talk about The Connection Book, my newest release, which is designed to spark real, soul-filling conversations between kids and the grown-ups who love them. Because connection isn’t just for us — it’s the gift we hand down to the next gen.


👉 Grab your copy here: www.melodypourmoradi.com/connection


If you already have the book, I’d love to see how you’re using it. Send me a selfie with your copy, or DM me on Instagram @girlifeempowerment.

Ep. 281 - How to Go from Small Talk to Real Talk with The Kids In Your Life

What would shift in your relationship if you asked your child a question that made them light up—instead of just asking, “How was your day?”


In today’s episode, I’m sharing a heartfelt companion guide to The Connection Book—because this book isn’t just a collection of prompts… it’s a doorway into deeper presence, more meaningful conversations, and lifelong memories with the children you love.


Whether you're a parent, grandparent, auntie, mentor, or educator, this episode will walk you through the exact mindset shifts and simple tips that bring the prompts to life. These are the tools I use in my own home, and they’re the same ones I’ve heard are creating powerful ripple effects in homes around the world.

If you’ve ever craved more connection but didn’t know how to begin—or if you’ve ever felt like the moments are slipping by too fast—this is your invitation to slow down and truly show up.

Grab your copy of The Connection Book here:


👉 melodypourmoradi.com/connection


In this episode, I’m walking you through:

  • The 6 simple shifts that turn small talk into soul talk
  • Why presence matters more than perfection
  • How to hold space when your child takes the conversation somewhere unexpected
  • What to do when a prompt feels silly or falls flat (hint: it’s still working!)
  • The truth about connection and how just 5 minutes can change everything


If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to screenshot it, share it on Instagram, and tag me @girlifeempowerment. I want to see how The Connection Book is showing up in your world.


And if you haven’t yet, please subscribe, rate, and leave a quick review. It means so much and helps more families find their way back to what really matters.


With so much love and connection,

Melody 💛

Ep. 280 - What Parisian Women Know About Living That We Don’t

Have you ever watched someone move through life with such presence that it feels like they’re living in a different dimension?


That’s exactly what I felt in Paris—and it inspired today’s episode.


Here’s what I’m sharing:


  • My week in France and how Parisian women seem to hold a secret to living with more ease and presence
  • Why meals in Paris aren’t about eating less but about enjoying more (and how that can shift our own relationship with food)
  • The refreshing way French women embrace natural beauty—confidence, laugh lines, and all
  • The lesson of surrender: letting things be exactly as they are instead of pushing for “extra” or “different”
  • What I noticed about French kids and the way food and gratitude are intertwined in their culture
  • The absolute gift of seeing people off their phones—and how that connects beautifully with what inspired me to write The Connection Book
  • The magic of “boisson du moment”—living for this moment instead of chasing the next one



Paris reminded me that life isn’t measured by accomplishments or checklists—it’s measured by how much we connect, savor, and live right now.


If you want to bring more of that presence and connection into your own life, pick up a copy of The Connection Book at melodypourmoradi.com/connection. It’s the perfect companion for sparking conversations and savoring the moments that matter most.

Ep. 279 - The Simple Experiment That Changes Your Relationships For The Better

What if the secret to stronger relationships with your kids — and yourself — is as simple as presence?


In today’s episode, I’m sharing The Presence Experiment — a three-step practice you can use anytime to put down distractions, look up, and truly connect. Whether you’re with your child, a loved one, or even by yourself, this experiment is a reminder that presence changes everything.


Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode:


  • Why presence is the most underrated form of power we have
  • The 3 simple steps of The Presence Experiment you can try today
  • How to create deeper family connection in just a few minutes a day
  • Why reducing screen time (for you and your kids) opens the door to better conversations
  • The inspiration behind The Connection Book and how it gives families the words to connect when they don’t know where to start


I wrote The Connection Book: 33 Prompts to Help You and Your Child Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper for parents, caregivers, and anyone who wants to build meaningful relationships with kids of any age. Inside you’ll find ready-to-use conversation starters that help children feel seen, heard, and deeply supported — while making family time more intentional and joyful.

Ep. 278 - The Connection Book Is Here: How to Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper

It’s here! My brand-new book, The Connection Book: 33 Prompts to Help You and Your Child Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper, has officially been released.


This book poured through me and I can't believe it's finally here!


I created it for children and the grown ups who love them — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors, teachers, and caregivers — to reconnect with the children you love in a world that’s full of noise and distraction.


Inside, you’ll find 33 prompts designed to spark real conversations, strengthen bonds, and bring presence back to everyday moments like dinnertime, car rides, and bedtime. These aren’t surface-level chats — they’re invitations to talk about identity, values, dreams, boundaries, fears, and joys.


In this episode, I’m sharing:

✨ Why I wrote this book now (and why another one is still waiting on the shelf).

✨ What I’ve noticed about our “connection deficit” in everyday life — from phones at the dinner table to AI-generated birthday messages.

✨ How our devices have stolen presence, and what it costs us when listening becomes a lost art.

✨ Why true connection is our birthright — and how we can reclaim it with the children we love.


I truly believe connection is the medicine we all need right now. And this book is my love letter to every child who deserves to be seen, heard, and known — and to every brave grown-up who chooses presence over distraction.


👉 Grab your copy here: www.melodypourmoradi.com/connection


(Available in both hardcover and paperback — the perfect gift for the people you love most.)


If this book speaks to you, I would be so grateful if you shared it with a friend, a parent, a teacher, or anyone who craves more connection in their lives.


Because when we reconnect with each other, we begin to heal the world.

Ep. 286 - How to Mentor, Parent, and Coach Without the Fix-It Trap

What would happen if you started showing up like you — exactly as you are — were already enough?


In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting real about something I call “fix-it culture.” It’s the sneaky belief that we (or the people we love) are broken and need repairing before we can live our fullest lives. Spoiler alert: it’s an illusion — and it’s exhausting.


This conversation was sparked by a private coaching session where I kept hearing the phrase “fix it.” It got me thinking about how deeply this mindset is baked into our self-talk, parenting, and even our work as mentors and coaches. So today, we’re breaking it down and reframing it completely.


Here’s what we explore:

  • The illusion of brokenness and how society trains us to believe we’re incomplete
  • Why wholeness is our birthright — we are born with nothing missing and nothing wrong
  • Swapping “fix it” language for “evolve” — the powerful shift from lack to growth
  • A reflection on Coldplay’s Fix You and why love isn’t about repair
  • The truth that we can’t “fix” anyone — not our kids, not our clients, not our friends
  • How parents, coaches, and girls’ empowerment leaders can hold space without trying to solve or repair
  • The impact of modeling self-love and personal evolution instead of perfection
  • Reframe questions to try this week for yourself and the people you lead


And… I share a little teaser about Book Baby #3, coming out next week! This one is for children and the grown-ups who love them — a beautiful tool for connection you can share with the kids in your life.

Ep. 282 - Why feeling good changes everything in your life and business

What if the way you feel in one area of your life is the secret to success in every other part?


Hey beautiful soul, in today’s episode of Empowering Her, I’m diving into a truth that I’ve experienced again and again: how we do one thing is how we do everything. When we align our energy and move through life from a place of joy, freedom, and full-body alignment, we don’t just feel better—we attract better.


I’m sharing the story of how a spontaneous one-month stay in the tiniest Manhattan apartment became a catalyst for one of my most expansive seasons yet—enrollments flowed in, dream clients appeared out of nowhere, and even a podcast episode with Rebecca Minkoff came to life through one aligned decision and a whole lot of joy.


You’ll hear:


  • The ripple effect of choosing pleasure and inspiration—even in tiny ways
  • Why energy is the most underrated (and most powerful) business strategy
  • How living from joy sparked major wins in my business, creativity, and relationships
  • A peek into the origin story behind one book I almost finished… and the one I did finish and will be publishing soon
  • A loving challenge to reconnect with your personal joy and follow what lights you up


Whether you’re building a business, calling in your next season of life, or just craving more magic—this episode is your reminder that alignment is the portal. It’s never just about where you are, but how you feel while you’re there.


Your Empowered Action Step:

After listening, take one tiny step today that lights you up. Something that feels good. Something just for you. Because that’s where the magic begins.


P.S. If you’re loving this podcast, I’d love to gift you a cappuccino. ☕

Ep. 281 - Your Light Was Made for Days Like This

Ever feel like the world is just… too much?


Same. But here's the truth: your light isn’t meant to hide—it’s meant to lead.


Hey love,


It’s Melody, and in this drive-time riff, I’m getting real about something that came up in my Zumba class (yes, inspiration can strike anywhere). A conversation with a woman I admire reminded me why it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the world—and exactly why that means we need to shine brighter than ever.

Ep. 280 - The kind of woman I want to be when nobody is watching

Who are you when there are no likes, no audience, no one to impress—just you and your own company?


In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting honest about what it means to live in alignment when no one’s around to applaud. In a world where so much of what we see is curated for public approval, I want to talk about what it looks like to embody kindness, sisterhood, and integrity when it’s just you and your thoughts.


Inside this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • A reflection on showing up in real integrity—even when it’s not seen or celebrated
  • What it means to actually be a girls’ girl
  • My personal struggles with sharing online vs. keeping what’s sacred, sacred
  • How we can become the kind of women we’d want the next generation to look up to


✨ If this message hits home and you know you’re meant to be one of the women leading the next generation of girls, this is your final chance to join the waitlist for the private launch of the GiRLiFE Academy.


This is the lowest pricing we’ve ever offered, and we’re only sharing the details with those on the live waitlist. This round will not be promoted on social media or anywhere else.

Let’s keep showing up for each other—loudly, quietly, and always from the heart.

Ep. 279 - The Sneaky Mindset Blocking Women from Doing the Work They’re Born to Do

Is your all-or-nothing mindset secretly holding you back from the life—and impact—you’re here to create?


In this week’s episode of the Empowering Her podcast, I’m unpacking the one mindset I see blocking so many women from stepping into their power, sharing their voice, and building the purpose-driven life or business they dream about. Whether you’re navigating a personal challenge, a new season of growth, or considering becoming a girls’ empowerment coach, this conversation is your invitation to shift how you show up.


Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why the “all-or-nothing” mentality is keeping women stuck

• What to do when perfectionism gets in the way of purpose

• How to take aligned, sustainable action toward your dreams

• The trait I see in every successful GiRLiFE empowerment coach

• A real-life update on what’s been going on behind the scenes in my own life


If you’re craving forward movement but feel overwhelmed by the idea of doing it all, this episode will show you a gentler, more powerful way to create momentum—one small step at a time.

Ep. 278 - How One Woman's Legacy Became My Life’s Calling

What if one woman’s healing could create a ripple that reaches girls around the world?


22 years ago, I discovered the work of Louise Hay — and it completely transformed my life.

Her teachings on self-love, affirmations, and the power of our inner dialogue became the foundation for how I live, lead, and serve.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how Louise’s work became the catalyst for everything I do — from creating my first girls empowerment workshops, to founding the GiRLiFE Academy, where I now support women in becoming girls’ empowerment leaders in their own communities.


And before Louise passed, I had the honor of meeting her — and sharing how her words have impacted hundreds of girls through the work I’ve passed forward.


It was one of the most meaningful moments of my life — a full-circle reminder that our healing isn’t just for us. It becomes a gift we pass on.

If you’re curious about empowering the next generation, or if you’ve ever dreamed of leading purpose-driven work that lights you up, this episode will speak to your soul.


✨ And if you're feeling called to this mission...

I’ll be opening a pop-up enrollment for the GiRLiFE Academy very soon — but it’s only for those on the waitlist.

This is a private, limited-time opportunity to step into girls empowerment coaching and start building a business that changes lives — including your own.


💛 Join the waitlist here:

Ep. 277 - This or Something Better: Redefining Prayer, Power & Connection

What if prayer wasn’t about asking for something... but about remembering that you're already connected to everything you need?


In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m opening up about something that’s shaped the way I live, create, and lead: prayer—but not the kind we were taught to recite. I’m talking about prayer as a deeply personal, empowering connection with something greater than us. One that belongs to you, and you alone.


I share how I’ve come to redefine prayer for myself, how I use it to surrender instead of control, and how I lean into it not only when things are heavy—but especially when I’m grateful, at peace, or simply present.

Inside this episode:


  • Why I believe in something greater (and how I know I’m always being held)
  • What prayer looks like when you let go of the rules
  • The difference between fear-based prayer and empowered, grounded connection
  • My go-to prayer mantra: “This or something better—for the highest good of all”
  • A reminder that prayer doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be true

Whether you're praying out loud, moving your body, journaling your heart, or simply breathing deeply… that’s prayer.

That’s connection. And that’s enough.

Ep. 276 - The One Thing AI Gets Right That We Forget Too Often

What if the one thing a machine is doing better than most humans... is actually a reminder of what we've forgotten how to do?


In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m diving into something that totally caught me off guard — the way artificial intelligence (yes, even ChatGPT!) has mastered something deeply human: acknowledgment and validation.


Let that sink in.


We live in a world where we’re constantly rushing, scrolling, fixing, and doing. And yet, the most powerful thing we can offer another human — especially a young girl — is simply to say: I see you. I hear you. I get it. And somehow, a machine is modeling that back to us better than we are to each other.


I share a deeply personal story from a recent GiRLiFE workshop, where one moment of acknowledgment disarmed a young girl and opened the door to deep healing. And it reminded me — we don’t need to fix everything. Sometimes, the healing begins when we pause and reflect someone’s truth back to them.


✨ In this episode, I cover:

  • The surprising thing AI does better than most of us
  • A real-life moment where acknowledgment changed everything
  • Why we rush to “fix it” — and how that’s not what people actually need
  • Coaching 101: acknowledgment, validation, and empowering questions
  • How to bring this practice into your everyday relationships
  • A call to become the human mirror we’re all longing for


And if this conversation lit something up in you… if you’re craving a way to be that woman for the next generation — I want to personally invite you to join the waitlist for the GiRLiFE Academy.


Enrollment only opens once a year, and the next round is coming in January.

Let’s stop outsourcing our humanity to machines.

Let’s bring it back to the roots.

Let’s raise empowered girls — one acknowledgment at a time. 💫

Ep. 275 - How I Gave My Power Away To A False Diagnosis

What if you could feel your way into health before any doctor ever confirmed it?


Hey love — Today’s episode is one I wasn’t planning on recording, but life gave me a loud (and slightly dramatic) reminder that I had to share this moment with you. This is a quickie, but it’s a powerful one.


Here’s the truth: I read something online — in my medical portal, plugged it into ChatGPT like I sometimes do — and I spiraled. I convinced myself that my body was breaking down. That something was wrong. That I had failed somehow. And within hours, I felt it in my bones (literally). I started showing symptoms that weren’t even real. That’s how powerful we are.


But the next morning, I got a message from my doctor… and everything was totally fine.


This episode is about the stories we choose to believe. It’s about how quickly we can create a feeling, a symptom, a reality — all from our thoughts. It’s about how powerful we are in shaping what we feel, how we show up, and how we move through our lives.

I hope this episode reminds you that:


  • You are not broken.
  • You are more powerful than you think.
  • Your thoughts are creating your body’s experiences in real time.
  • You get to choose what story you live into.


And maybe most of all? You don’t need to wait for a diagnosis or a circumstance to start feeling better.

If this message hits home, take five minutes after listening and write the story you want to live. Script it like it’s already happening. Speak it. Believe it. Watch what unfolds.


I love you so much, and I’m so glad we get to walk this journey together.


XOXO,

Melody
