The Seastar of Supply Chain Presidency & Overcoming PPD: Leticia Baca
The Melrose Show - Decision Society
12/07/21 • 65 min
Leticia Baca is an incredible woman. Not just because she is the President of Lakewood Organic Juices, or a wife and mother of two who accomplished such high corporate accomplishments. She is incredible because she has persistence and a mindset that isn't afraid of stepping back to go even farther forward. When she found herself pregnant with her second child, she wasn't provided for by her employer like in her first pregnancy. The need to work through her postpartum set her off into a depression that she wasn't sure how to shake. But through her willingness to believe in herself and work with professional coaches and the twisted mental healthcare system, she made it to the other side. Professionally, she's always taken risks and they paid off. Listen to her journey with Mel and find that sometimes not wanting what you're being offered, even though everyone else says it's what you should do, is the best thing for your career. Depression is treated as almost cosmetic health - as though it is an option, Leti tells us. The culture shaming on mental health checks is something Mel is also passionate about. Some epic other quotes from her here were;
"If you’re not sitting at the table, you’re on the menu." Leti
"You need to create systems that work for you." Also Leti's wise advice on how supply chain management can apply to our lives as well.
Leticia has founded Sisterology with her sister who also happens to be her best friend. Sisterology is a lifestyle brand that uses a mix of ethically sources, USA Made and fair trade products in a market place and is a network of sisters to support and empower women. A real Seastar group in our opinion!
Leticia recommends reading Avoiding a supply chain apocalypse, Emotional Intelligence Daniel Goleman, and Radical Candor by Kim Scott. Mel suggested Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping.

Correction - Mel cited Maca as an ingredient in makeup. She was mistaken for Mica, which is totally toxic and should be avoided. These are not the same thing. One is magical and the other is dangerous. <3
The Goddess Roundtable discussion on Bullying with Jenny Mischel, Jessica Elliot & Mel Rose
The Melrose Show - Decision Society
12/07/21 • 73 min
Jenny Mischel and Jessica Elliot are both professionals working to improve the situation with bullying. Jenny comes at this problem through academia. She holds a PHD in Educational Psychology and works as a development coordinator and facilitator with Payton's Project and is a visiting assistant professor at Oxford College at Emory University. Jessica is in the trenches as a school counselor at Fairfax County Public Schools and also works with Jenny and Payton's Project to tackle this dire topic.
With US Hospital Admissions for non fatal self harm for young girls age 10-14 is up 189% and 62% for Girls aged 15-19, Nearly triple what it was in 2009 and Suicide rates for yougn girls age 10-14 are up 151% and gor girls aged 15-19 is up 70% compared to an average from 2001-2011. (Information taken from The Social Dilemma sourced from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). These numbers are terrifying. This data is linked to the onset of constant usage of social media. So with this issue, our girls need us. The time is now to contribute to the solution. You can spread this information, mentor, join a cause like Big Brother Big Sister and then volunteer in schools, or even become a researcher or fundraiser/investor to companies and schools combatting the war on bullying and premature death of children victimized by social dysfunctions.
Mel's experience with bullying as a pre-teen and teenager seemed to set off a vicious cycle for her. One that led her to being further bullied in front of millions of people by the producers of America's Next Top Model. The producers actually told her that past contestants who fought against their edits, like Jade, were ridiculed by the media, and that she should simply "just take it.". But Mel has always fought back against her edit on the show stating that she was served a character portrayal that had lasting public ramifications and mental health damages to her for over a decade. This candid conversation between the 3 ladies is the first time Mel opens up about all of her bullying past and how she has overcome this into a life of happiness and purpose. Jessica, who had a background in fashion as well, quickly realized the truths about the fashion industry and stepped into counseling instead. Jenny also had been bullied as a child. These 3 women courageously share their knowledge, research, and experiences and hopefully shed some light on bullying and cyberbullying today.
Enjoy and please feel free to reach out to any of the women for additional comments, contributions, or volunteering opportunities. Much more to come from this magical trio!
The Goddess of Bio-Social Anthropology; Dr. Chelsea Shields
The Melrose Show - Decision Society
12/07/21 • 79 min
WELCOME TO A GODDESS CIRCLE EPISODE
Dr. Chelsea Shields, a bio-social anthropologist, strategic research consultant, women's rights activist, mormon, speaker, author, mother and wife and so much more, who accomplished 2 PHDs debt free by the way, pretty much defines a modern female boss. Born and raised in the Mormon community in Utah, Dr. Chelsea knew there was more to life than her community let on. She is unapologetically ambitious and rightfully so. She's changing science with placebo studies and human evolution expert work and research through her time in West Africa and in all her endeavors now. Her current book is about removing herself from social media. So no links to social with this goddess, but when she jumps back in next year, we will make sure to add her handles in here.
Mel and Dr. Chelsea talk about growing up Mormon with big ambitions and all of her experiences that led her to being a strategic consultant today. She brings up some very valid and wonderful questions for the listeners while being very gracious with Mel's several run on sentences this episode. To clarify, as this episode is highly feminist charged, both Mel and Chelsea LOVE men and would not want to imagine a society without them. They simply support more females in roles of leadership throughout the world and will work tirelessly to become those women, in preservation and support of future generations and the planet. Walk through conversations of linguistic and cultural genocide, to how to win or engage in arguments with people with different beliefs, to tribalism, family therapy, acceptance of the self, skin care, and pursuing your dreams unashamed. Enjoy!

Her message is clear, that by understanding what is limiting us, deep down, you become able to learn and grow your financial lives in ways otherwise stunted. Her peaceful and highly intellectual energy, research, and vibes will open your mind and keep you thinking for days. It's a great listen and is always an epic experience to interact with her.

The Seastar of Ice Skating Mastery & Saying Yes even in Doubt; Ashley Clark
The Melrose Show - Decision Society
12/07/21 • 63 min
Mel got a new microphone. So first of all many apologies for the sound difference of sound in Ashely and Mel's mics. Hopefully we will have this corrected by a sound engineer in the next week or so, so if it is bothering you, please come back in a week and try again. Otherwise, enjoy!
Ashley Clark grew up to become the person we all, all meaning little girls who lived in winter places, dreamed about being brave enough to become. Ashley is has been and is forever an ice skating princess, character, master, and Jane of the jungle fire dancing goddess, on ice. This episode is going to inspire and shock you with her incredible career path stories.
Ashley and Mel Rose met in Costa Rica literally chasing waterfalls. Both ladies realized the other was a long lost now found seastar and spirit animal for the other. Both hail from 100% italian mothers, and both have a deep passion for living their own life, growth, courage, love and of course...waterfalls. When Mel found out that Ashley is not only an incredible ice skater but someone who chases her dreams fearlessly, Mel needed to get her on the podcast for all of you to hear from.
Listen to her wild story of begging her mom for her destiny in the form of Ice Skates when she was 4 and a half, to trying out for Disney on Ice while skipping school with her bestie and landing the job on the spot, to marrying the man of her dreams. Ashely's best advice to anyone listening is to: Just say Yes and Figuring it out later. She is also a master of turning Nos into Yes'. Her ability to think outside the box with her career path, hello Scar!, and to embracing her feminine qualities with new jobs, and her love of adventure and helping other people realize their greatness is just the best mentality to come across and an inspiration to us all. Check out her links here for the shows she talks about.

Another amazing Fire and Ice performance with her spinning poi on fire while skating.

The Seastar of 212 Real Estate & True Belief; Sarah Williams
The Melrose Show - Decision Society
12/07/21 • 55 min
Sarah Williams owns her own Real Estate firm in New York City called Societe and with over a decade in the industry, she knows the 212 inside and out. Societe is a privately-owned, female-run, bespoke real estate agency that defines Sarah's ethos with luxury aesthetics, smooth processes and influential work. She is also the agent who won Rookie of the Year (REBNY) and The Rising Star Award in her first few years of the industry and made many people take a second look at her out-of-the-box and pretty genius approach to the industry. Sarah is tapped into The Secret and it has worked wonders for her. She is a beautiful woman who has overcome an initial life trajectory that, given another mindset that didn't embrace self belief, might have had her living a very different life. Sarah figured out how to truly believe that her life was going to go a better way than to perpetuate the environment in which she grew up. Hailing from a very rough part of Tampa, Sarah worked herself from an ambitious high schooler who couldn't be convinced to dance to anyone else's beat to a Columbia graduate, an ultra orthodox Judaism convert, a fashionista, wonderful friend, and business owner. This girl is a total goddess and someone we can all take a note in our diaries from.
Mel and Sarah have been friends for several years now, after meeting at a mutual friends place in the Hamptons. They both were trying out something called "Selective Expression". This is where, when you meet someone you feel safe with, you finally open up a little bit of your truth to, and can breathe better after doing so. After years of this kind of work, both ladies have found that it is part of the process to become really truly okay with your story, no matter how hard the details are.
Sarah suggests using this youtube video to change your life. She said it really worked for her. And so, we will be doing this and will report back on this hopefully in another episode with the one and only Sarah Williams! Check out: The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale.
