Shownotes

In this episode of The Cosmic Mystic Podcast, I’m joined by Melissa Hidrobo, a Success-to-Soul Coach who supports high-achieving professionals navigating the courageous transition from corporate success to soul-aligned living.

After spending 20 years climbing the luxury corporate ladder with brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co., Melissa walked away from a six-figure lifestyle in Miami when a quiet but undeniable truth surfaced: “I don’t want to do this anymore.” What followed was a multi-year journey of healing, awakening, and deep reconnection with her soul — one that ultimately led her to create a life rooted in freedom, meaning, and purpose.

This conversation is honest, grounded, and expansive. We talk about burnout, identity, spiritual awakening, loneliness on the healing path, boundaries, forgiveness, and what it really takes to leave a life that looks perfect on the outside but feels empty on the inside.

If you’re a high achiever who feels trapped by your own success…

If you’ve had that “there has to be more than this” moment…

If you’re craving alignment without throwing everything away…

This episode will meet you exactly where you are.
