Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Melisa Alaba, Brave Woman, Mom, cancer survivor, Breakthrough Coach, Money Maven and resilient badass Black woman.

I know what it’s like to lose something you love and experience your entire life flipping upside down as you try to figure out who you’re supposed to be now.

Going through cancer and a divorce at the same time was a serious wakeup call. Life was saying, “It’s time to heal old wounds and reach for new dreams.”

I went through all the same “quick fixes” you’ve probably tried (therapy, meditation, heck, you probably don’t want to see the notes I wrote in a couple of those self-help books everyone was talking about at the time.) But it was only when I decided that I had to work on me as a whole rather than work on different parts of me that I started to see the shift.

During that time, I discovered healing had to involve my finances. I started by rebuilding my financial foundation, asking for more in my business and for the support I needed at home. This opened up the possibility to recover my entire life.

Being Rich and Worthy is knowing we can be emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially abundant. We get to be whole.

Through that self-healing journey, I learned about energetic healing and how to release old trauma. However, it was only when I started studying how to heal in my finances and applying abundance principles to my entire life that I noticed a big shift in confidence. This is where the B’healed Process was born.

Beautiful, Have an Extraordinary, Awesome Life Every Day.

Now, I help women who are on a similar journey to the one I walked to see themselves as the worthy women they’ve always been.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

My name is Melissa Alva, your breakthrough coach and money healer.

I'm on a mission to help women on their lives so they can feel more secure,

making more money and building wealth.

I know what it's like to have money and to have lost money, to have had an

illness as well as go through a divorce.

And be a single mom.

And for so many women, we've had different circumstances that have come into our

life that make us feel ineffective when it comes to growing our money and

even making more money, we have put.

Different blocks up or mindsets that says saving is not for us.

Investing is not for us, or we're just not good at making money.

And those mindsets keep us from making more money.

It keeps us from investing.

It keeps us from saving.

It keeps us from doing it, things that were truly.

And at the end of the day, it truly keeps us from owning our lives.

So as a coach, my number one job is to help you break through these

mindsets as well as heal from your past trauma so that you can get to own

in the life that you truly deserve.

In 2013 and 2014, when I discovered it was truly time for me to get out

of a marriage to have become toxic and no longer environment work at thrive.

And I also knew I had cancer.

I had just gotten diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

I knew it was time for me to move to a space where I could be.

Where I could be in full joy.

And through that process of moving out of that relationship,

it required me to do some work.

And a lot of that work was working with a therapist, being involved in a group

program that I was involved in and getting around other women who also.

had experienced some of the things that I was going through.

And I also had to get to a space where I trusted myself.

Trust was so big because I had been in an environment where I had

made millions of dollars, right.

Um, from an early age, having my first private practice when I was 24, 25

years old, I can't even remember now.

And within the first three years, making a million dollars, having real

estate property from 24 years old.

Flipping properties sometimes getting $50,000 back one property.

I remember $80,000 and this was in 2004, five and six.

I mean, things were just really booming having win after win, but being with

a partner who could not identify when enough was enough so that we can enjoy.

And so not only was I.

Made to feel like I was just a machine at coming up with ideas and

manifested in building businesses.

But I didn't have that relationship piece that I deeply, deeply desired.

Right.

I deeply desire to have love and money.

So I was kind of, I was trained that you could only have one or the other,

you can have money, you can have.

A marriage debt is more like a business, but the love and the

relationship piece was outside of that.

And that literally was for other people.

So having this moment of now, you know, deciding that this is no longer

for me, I really wanted to move in a different direction in my business.

I wanted to coach women.

I wanted to expand.

I wanted to travel more and I was definitely doing those

things, but that was becoming.

Very much a no-no for my partner.

He couldn't stand the fact that I was becoming a new person.

And that was fine, but I knew I had to take a different route.

And so in taking this different route and discovering me, I had to get to a

place where I trusted myself more deeply.

I had to get to a place where I trusted my intuition so that I could make decisions

and trusted it was going to be okay.

I had to get to a place where I understood my value outside of the

work outside of the money outside of feeling like I was just a manifester.

I was just the vehicle behind the ideas being rolled out.

And I had to get to a place where I understood that marriage was more

than just a business partnership.

And I want it more, there are people who are in relationships like that,

and that's totally fine for them.

I had decided I wanted more.

I want it love.

I want it kindness.

I want it joy.

I wanted freedom and I had to get to a space where I understood

that I could have it all I could have love and I could have money.

And so in working with women, it is so vitally important for me to

allow them to know that you don't have to stay stuck in thinking that

is only one way of doing anything.

You're either highly successful, but yet your love life is lacking, right?

You are either have relationships, but yet you have no money.

You either have a great job, but yet you have no time to take vacations.

I want women to understand that you can have all the ants.

And so I started to rebuild my life during that time or what I call God's grace,

a pause and during my cancer journey.

And I traveled and I ate good and I exercise and I rebuild routines

around the life that I currently had and what I desired for myself.

I discovered a life of expansion during that time.

It wasn't a sad time for me.

Although a lot of sad things may have happened.

It was literally a time when I was filled with so much joy.

That I just wanted that joy to continue.

And I made myself a promise when I decided that I was going to go full fledged

back into business, I wanted to help women and bring them on this journey.

And I wanted my business always to look like that, to look like ands.

Joy to look like bliss to feel like bliss.

And so in service of this podcast, that is what you're going to get.

You're going to hear things that you may have never heard

before you can have money.

You can have love.

You can have peace, you can have joy and you can do that

without beating yourself up.

You can do that without thinking I haven't done enough.

All wicked house, you can do that by understanding that God

does want the best for you.

You do deserve the best.

So I hope that you will continue to listen, grow, and as I share journal

prompts throughout the episodes, get your journal out and literally

ask yourself those questions.

What do I need right now?

So let's get us started just in this episode right here.

Tell me what do you need to do to own your life?

All right.

I'm so excited that you're here.

And I look forward to talking to you on the next episode.
