Meet Melissa Barnes
Transformation Coach. Speaker. Advocate for Regret-Free Living.
Helping high-achieving women rise into clarity, connection, and a life of bold intention.
With over two decades in the death and grief care profession, I’ve witnessed the weight of unspoken dreams and the pain of final regrets. The most common words I’ve heard from the dying? “I regret…” — not speaking up, not taking the leap, not truly living.
I vowed to rewrite that story—for myself and for as many women as possible. I now guide women through emotional numbness, burnout, and unprocessed grief into a life of purpose, deep love, and lasting legacy. Because when a woman heals and rises, so does everyone she touches.
