Melanie Phillips 100 hr Ayurvedic Yoga Training, Inner Empowerment Mentorship, Energy Healing, Spiritual Mentorship, Ayurveda literally means the knowledge and wisdom of life.

It is the healing system of India, sometimes referred to as the mother of all healing. It originated in India over 5,000 years ago and is still being used today. Ayurveda views health and disease as the end result of how we interact with the world, in terms of our beliefs, perceptions, thoughts and feelings, which then ultimately determine our actions. Actions in harmony with our inner nature create health, while those dis-harmonious with our inner nature create disease. Ayurveda is the science of developing greater harmony with our environment through all of our senses. Ayurveda assists the body in journeying back to optimal health by balancing the five elements in the body and mind through the use of herbs, diet, colors, aromas, lifestyle changes, yoga, and meditation along with other five sense therapies.

Being 1/2 seen is a slow leak.

You post, you share, you show up…
but some part of you is still negotiating.
Still trying to be digestible.
Translating your truth into something palatable.

And the cost is your aliveness.

🎧 New episode: Half Seen is Exhausting: The Truth About Visibility in Biz
I’m talking about why visibility drains sensitive, heart-led entrepreneurs and what shifts when you claim your message as leadership.

Drop the word “SEEN” in the comments and I’ll send you the link.

If you feel a deeper voice yearning to be unleashed, I made something for that.

I doubt myself a lot. My mind can overthink or worry about things that have never even happened. Ya know what I mean?

Living a soul-led life (as opposed to listening to my conditioned fears of scarcity and making choices from that identity) is both the simplest thing and the most challenging thing. Sometimes I feel like I’m wrestling with an unruly seal while trying to climb a mountain.

But there’s no turning back.

The path of self-mastery isn’t about perfection. It’s messy and unknown most of the time (yikes). Soul-led leadership is the same. True leadership asks us to listen to our inner knowing, trust ourselves, stop betraying our dreams, and be the example, not just “teach” it.

I created Soul-Led Leadership to link arms with those who are ready to lead, create, and be visible in a way that’s truly aligned. True leaders aren’t islands. They understand that stoicism isn’t leadership, and doing it all alone isn’t either. That “I should be able to figure this out on my own” voice is often just the wounded ego protecting itself.

I think this is one of the biggest reasons so many powerful people stay right on the edge of their own expansion. Not because they aren’t capable. Not because they aren’t devoted. But because it can feel vulnerable to be fully seen.

You’ve done so much inner work, and yet your soul is still calling you forward. It’s time.

There’s no mistake you’re here on this planet at this particular time. You came to help raise consciousness. And that can’t be done by staying behind the scenes, staying comfortable, or living inside the old “who am I to…?” story.

What legacy are you here to leave, for your family and your community?
What values do you want to embody, not just speak about?
What is the creative expression yearning to move through you? And are you giving yourself enough space to really listen?

If this is resonating, Soul-Led Leadership is for you if you’re ready to lead, create, and be visible in a way that’s truly aligned, and you want both the inner recalibration and the clear direction to bring your work into the world without performing or people-pleasing.

You want to get your heart and message out into the world, without shrinking, filtering, or performing.

You want to make more money, as a goal and as a reflection of what you’re finally willing to receive.
You want to create the impact your soul came here to make, the kind that reverberates through time.

You want to create a legacy you actually feel proud of, not one built on overgiving.

You want to break out of the boxes, limitations, and rules you never agreed to.

You want to celebrate this life and the magic of existence, and remember you get to create from energy and enthusiasm, not obligation and drudgery.

It’s a choice. Join me.

“When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing.

The world was made to be free in. Give up on all other worlds except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. ”

I used to think a cold plunge was just discomfort with branding. Turns out it’s a mirror.

A mirror for the moment your mind panics, your body wants to bolt, and you realize:
presence is a choice.
devotion is a choice.
staying with yourself is a choice.

I recorded an episode on what happened and why it felt like an initiation.

I shared the full story + the real lesson on my Next Level Magic podcast.

You’re not here to post consistently.
Or even niche down.
And you’re definitely not here to lead from obligation.

You’re here to lead from life force.
From the version of you who can hold more.

More visibility, without making it mean danger.
Devotion to your message, without needing to be liked by everyone in the room.
Impact, without burning yourself into a brittle, high-functioning shell.
More clients, mulah, and momentum, without hustling for worthiness.

Because Soul-Led Leadership isn’t a vibe, it’s a standard.
It’s the moment you stop treating your truth like you need a disclaimer.
It’s when you no longer negotiate with the part of you that wants to shrink.

So many powerful women do this subtle, sneaky thing:
They’re successful. They’re wise. They’re spiritually connected.
And they’re still holding themselves back at 50% because it feels safer there.
But your people can feel that.
And so can you.

You don’t need another strategy, you need the internal authority to hold your own message without flinching.

To speak clearly, without rounding off your edges.
To lead with a presence that makes people lean in.
To stop over-explaining yourself to people who were never your people.
To be seen as a leader without performing for permission.
To create massive income and impact from your gifts, while being true to yourself.

And you need the energetic maturity to stay open, even when you’re witnessed.
That’s Soul-Led Leadership.

Not the look at me/ hope this lands energy.
But the, I’m clear, I’m devoted frequency.
And the right women for you feel it.

On Sat 17, I’m hosting a live, complimentary 60 min activation where I’ll teach the core shift that makes this kind of leadership inevitable.

Soul-Led Leadership:How to Become Unmistakable

(Without Performing, Hustling, or Diluting Your Truth)

Sat, Jan 17 at 10am PT

This is for you if you’re already successful and spiritually aware, but you still notice:

•you edit yourself mid-sentence (even when you’re “being brave”)

•you can feel your real message, but you keep trying to make it more palatable

•you know you’re meant for bigger visibility, impact and mulah… yet “being seen” still flips a switch in your nervous system

•you’re tired of leadership that looks good online but isn’t embodied

On Sunday we went to visit illegal waterfalls…

I didn’t know they were illegal until about 1/2 way through the excursion, mostly because everything was being explained in Spanish and my current level of fluency is best described as reading body language + a few swear words.

We were wading through waist-high rivers like we were auditioning for a reality TV survival show. The rocks were slick, the current was doing that aggressive thing water does when it’s trying to humble you.

There was scrambling. There was sliding. Most rocks had the stability of a wet bar of soap and there was a lot of gripping things that looked like they were also illegal.

I’m realizing I’m not the kind of person who should be making decisions based solely on vibes and hand gestures. And yet, I keep doing it. Because apparently my soul’s curriculum includes trust, surrender, and the occasional light criminal trespass.

It’s important to go to new places, try new things, and be open to what comes up, including the moment you realize you may be committing a small felony while attempting to have an adventure.

And yet, what a day.

There was a strange, holy aliveness. The kind that reminds you your life isn’t meant to be managed, it’s meant to be lived. Preferably with a little more Spanish. But we’ll get there. 1 step at a time.

It hit me after: this is what soul-led leadership actually looks like in real life. Not having it all figured out. Not waiting until you feel fluent, confident, polished, ready. It’s the willingness to keep moving when the path is unclear, your nervous system is loud, and you can’t translate half of what’s being said but you can still feel what’s true.

If you’ve been standing at the edge of your own next step, watching other people go first, overthinking yourself into paralysis, or waiting for the perfect plan to download… come with me on Saturday for my complimentary Soul-Led Leadership workshop.

We’ll explore leading from the inside out, trusting what you already know, and moving with grounded devotion that doesn’t require hustle, performance, or permission.

Drop “SOUL” in the comments and I’ll send you the deets.

I wrote 3 books, not through discipline, but devotion.

I’ve taught yoga for over 26 years, not through discipline, but devotion.

I studied Ayurvedic medicine and became a practitioner while healing an autoimmune condition, not through discipline, but devotion.

I showed up at the dance studio five days a week, 2 to 6 hours a day, for four straight years in university, not through discipline, but devotion.

I slept on a wooden bed with a thin cotton mattress in an ashram in India for six months and rose at 4am, not through discipline, but devotion.

I rewired my neural pathways after grief cracked my life open, not through discipline, but devotion.

And I still show up; for my clients, for my craft, for my inner life, for the parts of me that would love to disappear when it’s time to be seen.

Not through discipline. Through devotion.

It’s how you become the woman who doesn’t need permission.
The woman who doesn’t dilute her truth to be pleasing.
The one who can feel fear in her body and still speak with conviction.

I lead myself by listening to my inner knowing.
I lead myself by investing in aligned support.
I lead myself because I can feel what’s next, and I’m not going to diminish my vision.

If you’re a successful, self-led spiritual woman and you can feel an edge in your own life right now, the one that says: it’s time, type LEAD below and I’ll send you the details for my complimentary Soul-Led Leadership workshop.

Something in you is done.
Not dramatic. Just done.
You want breath. Space.
A nervous system that isn’t sprinting in stilettos.

Because you’ve been moving fast for so long you can’t even hear yourself think, and your soul is like: can we not?

Not “fix your mindset.” Not “optimize your morning routine.”
Just come back. To you.

Something in you already knows where you’re supposed to go next.
Not in a dramatic way but a quiet, unmistakable way.
Your fullest creative expression.
Actual abundance. Alignment that isn’t performative.

And yeah, you’ve been successful.
But you’re done with it feeling like you’re watching your own life through tempered glass.

Six days in Costa Rica.
Not to become a “better version” of you (ick, no).
Not to perfect yourself into someone more palatable.

To remember who you are.
To find where you’ve been leaking power and pretending it’s fine.
To listen for the truth underneath the noise.
To name what you want without apologizing for how grand it is.

We’ll activate what you already know.
We’ll talk about your heart’s trajectory and put it into motion.

Because you didn’t come here to be polished.
You came here for the grand adventure.
And to change things by being fully, unmistakably you.

The year was 2026.

It was the year everything aligned.

I became the version of myself my soul intended.

I finally stopped worrying about being misunderstood or judged and allowed my creativity to flow.

I stopped translating my soul expression into something more palatable.

My creativity came back like a wild animal that realized the house was safe again.

I owned the powerhouse healer I am, without trying to prove it. Not loud. Not performative. Just… inevitable.

I sat in sacred ceremony.
I held the mirror of magnificence up for others.
I stopped apologizing for my depth, my vision, my knowing.

I spoke more. Wrote more. Told my story without asking permission first.

My body was a sacred temple:
Strong hands on the rock, a steady nervous system, a spine that felt like it finally remembered its purpose.

I slept like someone who trusted life.
I moved like someone who belonged in her skin.

And I remember how rich my life felt in the ways no one can screenshot.

Long dinners. Bare feet. Ocean air. Mountain mornings.

Belly laughs with friends that made my cheeks hurt.

Time with family that didn’t feel rushed or in between.

I honoured the humans I get to walk through this life with, not as an afterthought, but as a devotion.

Comparison got bored and left.
Judgment lost access.
I chose unconditional love as my set-point.

And yes… I became the million-dollar version of me.

Not because I hustled harder.
Because I stopped shrinking.

I stopped making my gifts smaller to be more digestible.
I stopped trying to be liked by everyone.
I started serving the women I’m actually here for: the ones who don’t want motivation… they want liberation.

I listened deeper.
I laughed harder.
And I lived with this quiet knowing, like a warm ember behind my ribs: Something wonderful is happening here.
