The Kindling Project
We know that women have untapped potential – and it's time to put some kindling on it. Too often, we dim our light for the sake of others. But it's never too late to ignite the fire within. Unlock your potential and embark on a journey of empowerment with The Kindling Project.
Join our host Melissa Halpin, artist and CEO of Memora, an experience design agency, and founder of The Kindling Project, a media platform for women as she interviews women at varying stages of their Kindling Projects.
We explore these inspiring stories, from an off-road adventurer conquering the Rubicon Trail to a non-profit founder delivering feminine hygiene products to millions in developing nations, from a fashion designer building a multimillion-dollar brand after divorce in her 60s to a therapist exploring where psychotherapy meets alternative treatments to improve the mental health epidemic in our country.
The Kindling Project is more than a podcast; it's a passion project dedicated to uncovering, celebrating, and nurturing every woman's extraordinary potential. Remember, it only takes one spark to ignite a flame!
