About Sandrine
Sandrine is a Showit Web Designer who craft websites that demand to be noticed for unapologetic creatives and brands looking to stand above the crowd. She started her web design business years ago after discovering her healthy obsession for design, strategy, and getting that brand color palate. Sandrine feels like she's livin’ the good life and she want to help others fall in love with their business all over again. And to show them just how easy a website building process can be (their words not hers).
In this episode, you will hear these ideas expressed:
● How to get out of your head and not focus on other people’s work
● Am I good enough? Am I credible enough? We discussed both
● What clues are there that you might be held back by impostor syndrome?
● How do you know if your prices are too low?
● Is research sometimes a way to procrastinate? Is this a clue of impostor syndrome
● What might you need to believe to ask for referrals or help in your own business? See Sandrine's answers/
● What else might you focus on that distinguishes you in your field….to feel less insecure about your skills?
● A flavor of Melissa's sales coaching for solopreneurs who are the face of their business is on display during this LIVE coaching session
● Writing your own definition of success – have you?
● What would it take for you to overcome your imposter syndrome? Book a call with Melissa to find out.
● How can you be comfortable doing things that are uncomfortable?

Book participants/podcast guests
“Melissa is an inspiring display of tenacity and motivation. Whenever you’re feeling stuck, peruse Melissa’s thoughtfully compiled tips and exercises and you’ll be creating magic in no time.” – Suzy Batiz, Chief Executive and Visionary Officer, ~Pourri, The Makers of Poo~Pourri, supernatural, Alive OS®
“Melissa’s words are authentic and important. She is a great listener and now shares reality-based strategies for imagining your own imperfect, fulfilling life.” – Martha Hennessey, Former New Hampshire State Senator / House of Representative
“This is the book for a mom who wants a second jet engine to embark on her own journey from thinking she will have to wait another lifetime to dream big to knowing she can take steps right now to uncover and do what she would find more fulfilling at this life stage. Melissa writes both intimately and conversationally about topics that many moms around the world can relate to (some dads too). She invites the reader into a personal and deep journey about topics that are crucially important to uncover what would make a mom truly happy to work on...even after the kids are in bed. It was an honor and a pleasure to speak with her for an interview, which she has included excerpts of in this book, too!” - Ken Honda, Japan’s bestselling zen millionaire, author of Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money
Moms like us with big dreams and school-age kids:
For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren’t thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you’re looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who’ve gone for it – and did it. - Macollvie Neel, Brooklyn, NY
“The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. Its tone is so energetic and fresh!” – Alejandra Molina, Coach in Miami, Florida
“Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she’s interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you’re a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn’t fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life.” – Maureen Turner Carey, Librarian, Austin, Texas
“In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end to your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child.” – Katherine Howell, a Museum Administrator, Queens, NY
