Episode 22: Unapologetically Herself with Melissa L. Hite

Melissa is a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator and Life Coach.

She embodies a rich combination of academic education with real-world experiences.

She’s on a mission to guide people to their most clear and authentic selves, breaking free from societal shame.

From her early gymnastics days to pole dancing, legal sex work, and touring with the circus, Melissa’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Ways to Engage: Melissa asks herself and others “What’s your motivation?” when trying to discover the “why.” If thinking about or stating your why is a difficult part of your journey, ask yourself what your motivation is. Whether it be for something small daily or something big in the long run, think about what you are truly doing it for.
