Tune into another amazing Soul Chat episode with Queens Recognize Queens featuring the mompreneur, activist, and community leader Melissa Killeleagh. In this episode we discussed the many issues that afflict our world, and the power each of us has within us to be the change. We got real about some trivial issues, and Melissa shares a valuable take on how we can use our power to create the world we desire.
More about Melissa:
Melissa Killeleagh is a “mompreneur” with a vision for adding value to every life she encounters. Life truly began for her just before turning 40, with the birth of her son. With undergraduate and graduate degrees from Ithaca College and Binghamton University, she worked in public finance for 10 years before trading in full-time work for her part-time business in social marketing.
While having two incomes was great, Melissa felt that having more time to truly live her life was even better. She gave up on society’s suggested “mileposts” for success in life and began to design a life guided by her own values, relationships, and the notion that “we make a living by what we get, and we make a life by what we give.”
Just when she started making plans, God laughed, and along came Jack. Melissa says that he IS her greatest gift. Her passion and purpose are building strong relationships, creating dynamic communities, inspiring leadership from the heart, and being a catalyst for the critical shift in paradigm our world needs right now, which Jack inspires her to do it daily. When not chasing her toddler or her dreams, you’ll find Melissa snuggling with her fur baby; reading; writing; dancing in the living room; conspiring with energy healers and thought leaders; listening to, or recording, podcasts; and, enjoying life outdoors.
