Mate… this conversation with Mel lit me up. She is a walking spark plug, a human espresso shot, the Energiser Bunny with better lipstick. I knew she had a big story but holy hell, sitting across from her and hearing the layers, the grit, the heartbreak, the humour, the joy… it hit different.

We talked about growing up in chaos, carrying responsibilities no kid should ever carry, and somehow finding a way to build compassion instead of bitterness. We talked about addiction, foster care, cutting hair for people who literally have nothing, prison programs, walking the streets with zero fear and an ocean of heart. Mel shares stories that'll crack you open and stories that'll stitch you back together two minutes later.

This one is humanity on full display. Messy. Beautiful. Wild. Real.
Mel is our real life Wonder Woman who shows us who we could be if we actually saw each other.
