In this solo episode of The FEEL Podcast, host Melissa Crook invites listeners into a powerful leadership mindset shift: Are you treating yourself like a VIP? This women’s empowerment conversation speaks directly to women who give endlessly to work, family, leadership, and community, while quietly placing themselves last. Through this episode, Melissa offers a grounded approach to personal growth for women who are ready to move from overperforming to intentional, values-based living.

Melissa shares the three core pillars of VIP living that guide her own leadership mindset and empowerment coaching work:

Identity Over Productivity — You are more than your to-do list. This pillar invites women to reconnect with their layered identity, reclaim self-worth and confidence, and lead from who they are rather than what they produce.

Liberation Through Boundaries — Boundary setting for women is not about building walls; it’s about creating bridges to healthier relationships, aligned calendars, and sustainable success. Melissa explores self-care and boundaries around time, rest, movement, reflection, and emotional energy as essential tools for burnout prevention.

Embodied Wholeness — Emotional and mental wellness, physical health, spiritual grounding, and embodied wellness are deeply interconnected. True holistic wellness for women comes from honoring all parts of yourself rather than prioritizing only one area of wellbeing.

This episode also explores how treating yourself like a VIP strengthens leadership presence, reinforces self-worth, and teaches others how to engage with you more intentionally. When values-based living guides your actions, you create healthier cultures in workplaces, families, and communities — and people remember what you model, not just what you say.

Whether you’re a woman in leadership, an entrepreneur, a caregiver, or simply feeling stretched thin, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: honoring yourself is a foundational act of intentional living that supports long-term emotional wellbeing and sustainable growth.
