I pray this blesses you!

  • Do you have passions and projects you want to pursue?
  • Are you ready to follow God's plan for your life?

Learn to hear and listen to God's voice, turn your chaos into calm, and battle and win the war against stress and anxiety.

My mission is to empower you to dig deep and know when to say yes to the things God wants you to and no to everything else, learn to move forward and pursue your passions, and stay emotionally healthy while doing it. Let me teach you how to create a vision, identify goals, and start your own online business.

Or maybe you just need that little spark of courage to chase your dreams? Well, if you're ready to get unstuck and thrive, then welcome to the Choose Your Next Yes!

I'm Mel, a seasoned midlifer and mom of grown-up. Trust me, I've seen my fair share of little plot twists–as I hit midlife. From getting divorced to getting downsized at work, life’s thrown me a few curveballs. It led to stress, anxiety, and left me feeling like I had misplaced my clarity and courage. But guess what? With God's help, I found my peace, purpose, and the guts to take action on some big life decisions. Today, I'm living my best life thriving personally and professionally. 

Now, my mission is to help you clarify God's voice, empowering you to confidently say 'yes' to what truly matters and 'no' to everything else. Together, we’ll focus on relationships, self-care, finances, health and more, to choose the right “ yesses,” clarify YOUR life's purpose, be courageous and pursue your personal and professional dreams.

It's time to reboot, take bold action, and live life limitless.
