Speak the Unspeakable: Story-Led Growth with Melani Sessa

• Bec Sadek and Shannon Boyle

This week we sit down with Melani Sessa, a network marketing leader who built two powerful social platforms by telling the truth most people avoid.


 First, a TikTok community around libido during menopause and how it impacted her marriage. Then, after the tragic loss of her son last year, an Instagram account documenting her grief journey which is now over 70K strong.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Turning your story into your message: how to use your story and let it guide your content.
  • Leading with vulnerability (with boundaries)
  • Niche-with-heart growth: why specificity (menopause, grief) creates real connection—and scalable trust.
