Episode Details

What if you didn’t need to completely reinvent your life this fall?

In this episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa shares a simple exercise from her retail leadership days that she’s bringing into this new season: Start, Stop, Continue.

It’s a simple way to step back and ask what you want more of, what you’re ready to release, and what is already working that you want to protect.

Melissa shares her own Start, Stop, Continue list, from making more room for fun, paddleboarding, dancing, and working outside, to letting go of habits and streaks that once served her but eventually started feeling like obligations. She also talks about creating more space for family, giving her boys greater independence, protecting her morning time with God, and continuing to pursue the big dreams God has placed on her heart.

⛰️ READY TO UNPLUG?

If this episode has you craving space to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, spend time with God, and get clear about what you want in your next season, Melissa is hosting Unplugged: An Anchored with Purpose Retreat at Hilltop in the Adirondacks.

This intimate, off-grid retreat for women is a chance to disconnect from screens and everyday responsibilities and make space for your faith, your dreams, your goals, and the life you want to intentionally create.

You’ll leave with practical tools to carry that clarity home with you.

Space is extremely limited.
