In this festive episode of the She Built It® Podcast, Melanie Barr invites you into a quiet but powerful reset. For years, Melanie has ended every interview with the same question: What do you do each day to make sure you are finding and living your joy? In this episode, she shares why that question exists and what she has learned from living through the pause that often follows it. Instead of focusing on goals, metrics, or public wins, this episode asks something deeper: What do you actually want your life to feel like in 2026? Melanie walks listeners through five reflective questions designed to help women leaders reconnect with joy, protect what matters, release what drains them, and define success on their own terms. This episode is an invitation to build a business and a life that supports each other, not compete.
