Modern Renaissance Woman®️
Do you often feel drawn to multiple interesting pursuits, yet feel a sense of conflict, shame or confusion around how the heck can I do all those interesting things?
When is the right time for me to start? Where do I start? Who gives a shit?
Well, I do.
I'm Melanie, founder of MRW, an Artist, Writer, builder of new innovative ventures, Head of Operations and now Podcast host, kickboxer and runner (amongst many passions). But most of all, I’m a woman trying to navigate a personal and professional life armed with multiple strings to my bow and daily wearing multiple hats.
17 years of a pretty squiggly path to date has turned into the culmination of the birth of the MRW, for every woman out there doing multiple things, striving in a patriarchal society whilst feeling that tension between the both handcuffs and a sense of freedom...
I see you daily, on the tube, on the internet, walking by on every street. The MRW is everywhere but we feel like they’re nowhere because it can feel an intense and isolating path so it's time to join forces, stand in our power and have the self belief the' woman really can do all the things if she will’ - Renaissance men are so 1492 quite frankly.
