When was the last time you faced fear head-on? And how did you react in that moment?
Today’s story, told by our beloved friend, Melanie Curtis, reveals how the wrath of fear can either grip you…
… or set you free.
It’s a choice. Your choice.
One that can alter self-perception entirely.
Melanie’s story is medicine because it reminds us that fear has the power to take us away from our greatest self, but that We have the power to override it, ultimately changing the course of the life we have left to live.
So, we invite you to examine who’s holding the pen of your life’s story.
Is it Fear? Or is it You?
As you listen, think about how you see yourself in Mel’s story

Melanie Curtis is a world-record-breaking skydiver. She embodies wild-hearted courage. (We mean that), and pairs it with a sense of humor that warms the soul into finding their Brave self.
Being ambitious in nature, Melanie is also the Executive Director of the Women’s Skydiving Network nonprofit and the co-founder of the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team —an all-female demonstration jump team—which inspires women & girls to live bold brave lives of their own design and elevate conversations of equality and social justice.
Mel’s fire for living courageously is infectious (in a good way). Which is why we’re proud of her for offering her guidance & gifts to people who are ready to do what Melanie calls “the bravest work there is: looking inward.”
We want to thank Mel for her willingness to be vulnerable — with herself, with us, and with all of you.
