In this episode, we’re joined by executive coach, leadership facilitator, and author Melissa Churchard Hannon. Melissa has spent more than three decades helping teams and leaders build stronger cultures, improve collaboration, and lead with intention.

She shares her journey from experiential education and corporate team development to becoming a trusted coach for leaders navigating complex workplaces. We also dive into her new book, Unscripted: How Women Holding It All Together at Home, at Work, and Inside Can Start Choosing Themselves Again, where Melissa explores the hidden “scripts” many of us follow without realizing it—and how those expectations shape our careers, relationships, and sense of self.

Together, we talk about leadership, burnout, workplace culture, and the importance of challenging the assumptions that keep us stuck. It’s an honest, thoughtful conversation about choosing alignment over autopilot and redefining what success really looks like.
