Melissa’s Bio

Melissa is a relationship coach who specializes in giving newlyweds the blueprint for adapting to life as a thriving team, all by owning their mess. She's also the host of the relationship podcast, The Own Your Ship Podcast. Melissa has had a passion for building healthy marriages, especially, after walking into her marriage expecting it to be a Disney movie fairytale. She maintained toxic behaviors from her life of singleness and was forced to evaluate her marriage; she had to either, change or walk away. She chose to stay and evolve into the wife that she was destined to be, and she refuses to see any more women fail on their journey to happily ever after.

Today, Melissa is still happily married to the love of her life, Javan, and is a momma bear of 3 beautiful kids.
