Episode 2: Melissa Hemsley

Listen to this episode on…

If I asked you for your definition of success, what would you say? For me, it’s simple: success is unique to each and every one of us.

Welcome to The Success Revolution, the podcast that’s changing the way we talk – and think – about success. Having worked with one too many women who’s had her confidence and her identity diminished as a result of working towards an antiquated definition of success – you know it, money, power, status, etc.

In this episode of The Success Revolution, we speak to Melissa Hemsley, our favourite foodie of all time and one of our featured experts in our book Step Up (she is quite possibly the most generous and unfailing mentor and networker we’ve encountered in our Step Up journey). This episode took an unexpected turn as Melissa bared all about her life, her struggles, her successes and how she has her fair share of shit days in the mix. Put it this way, Melissa herself called it the best therapy session she’s ever had.

Melissa presents the Live.Life. Better. Podcast with Virgin Books and Penguin Living.
