Speaker 1: Deborah, with her thirty years of being an entrepreneur and
Speaker 1: creating over seven companies, knows exactly what it means to
Speaker 1: accept the mission. When you make that decision, when you
Speaker 1: accept the mission to become a solopreneur, to take yourself
Speaker 1: and your talents to market, then you embrace a life
Speaker 1: of not only unlimited possibilities, but also the unknown. It's
Speaker 1: an elixir of fear and bravery that only someone who's
Speaker 1: taken the leap really understands. On our show, deb digs
Speaker 1: deep with her guests to highlight what you the listener
Speaker 1: wants to know, the stories, the whys, and the hows
Speaker 1: to navigate the journey to success. Get ready to hear
Speaker 1: from some of the most incredible mission takers from Generation
Speaker 1: Z to boomers. So sit up, perk up, and get
Speaker 1: ready to be blown away. Now here is your host,
Speaker 1: Deborah Drummond.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Absolutely I am true today. Welcome audience, Thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you. You know I think you are the best
Speaker 2: podcast audience ever because you are, and today you're going
Speaker 2: to be blown away. I am so excited. We've got
Speaker 2: Melissa Heather's in the house. I know you know her.
Speaker 2: I know that you know her book just went international.
Speaker 2: I know that you know her and have heard her
Speaker 2: name around our circles because this woman is going to
Speaker 2: be hitting our stage and a very few in just
Speaker 2: a couple of months. Also from the Ireland event that
Speaker 2: we did Rise Rise Her, she participated in that as well,
Speaker 2: and everyone got a copy of her incredible book, which
Speaker 2: we're going to talk a bit about today. And you
Speaker 2: know what we want to talk about today, we want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. Look, you know the theme around
Speaker 2: here is stand up, speak up, and show up. That's
Speaker 2: exactly what this woman does. But look at there is
Speaker 2: the world of authorship has just reached everybody. And if
Speaker 2: you are an entrepreneur, or you're in this world, or
Speaker 2: you're a speaker, or you're a coach, or you're a trainer,
Speaker 2: or you're out there networking and connecting, like a lot
Speaker 2: of you are. You are here people saying I'm an author,
Speaker 2: I'm going to write my book, I'm going to finally
Speaker 2: get to it. I'm going to take some time, I'm
Speaker 2: going to do all these wonderful things and you know,
Speaker 2: finally get to the thing I always thought I was
Speaker 2: going to do, or you here, never thought I was
Speaker 2: going to write the world of anthologies. We all know
Speaker 2: the two sixty two anthology and all the things that
Speaker 2: are happening in regards to that. So there's this incredible
Speaker 2: world that's going out there where people are really sharing
Speaker 2: in and they're becoming super vulnerable. You know, they're sharing
Speaker 2: from the heart. I'm going to let less tell you
Speaker 2: the topic of her or the title of her book,
Speaker 2: but they're really getting to it and they're really sharing.
Speaker 2: And if you think about that, compared to maybe even
Speaker 2: ten years ago, like you, you just did not hear
Speaker 2: about so many people authoring. The tools weren't as available,
Speaker 2: the knowledge wasn't as accessible, and so now it is.
Speaker 2: And not only are authors writing, they're talking right, they're telling,
Speaker 2: and they're getting on stages sharing about their passion. And
Speaker 2: I find that a lot of the books that are
Speaker 2: hitting the market are exactly that. It's about someone's passion,
Speaker 2: it's helping its personal development, it's business development. Even when
Speaker 2: someone tells their story, it's meant to inspire and move
Speaker 2: people forward. So that is what Melissa Heather's done and
Speaker 2: all things ULSSA, I'm gonna invite you to the show.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Mission accepted Today.
Speaker 3: Hid thank you so much for having me on your
Speaker 3: show today. I'm super excited to be here with the
Speaker 3: scoovy lead leader, Dad Drummond, and the founder of two
Speaker 3: sixty two.
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, look at We called each other today and
Speaker 2: said make sure you wear your black glasses, and make
Speaker 2: sure you wear your black dress, and make sure that
Speaker 2: you had your hair blonde. I was like, I came
Speaker 2: on the show today, I'm like, oh, I'm living in
Speaker 2: the mirror. But that's what happens when you, you know,
Speaker 2: when you start hanging out with groovy people. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: get to it. Let's talk a little bit about this book,
Speaker 2: and then let's talk about what it's like not only
Speaker 2: to write a book, but then decide to take parts
Speaker 2: of those books and take it, you know, even louder
Speaker 2: and stand on a stage. So please share with us
Speaker 2: the name of your book and what inspired you to
Speaker 2: put pen to paper.
Speaker 3: So my book is Dear Ego, Dear Heart. My inspiration
Speaker 3: was actually my healing journey. It was just for myself,
Speaker 3: and it took me a while, and I pivoted eighteen times.
Speaker 3: I was going to write a book just about being
Speaker 3: the average Josephine and you know, living life and having
Speaker 3: a parent with cancer passes and all my traumas in life.
Speaker 3: And then I realized, like a memoir is not really
Speaker 3: my style. Poetry is my style, but it's really about
Speaker 3: aligning the head and the heart, and through my healing journey,
Speaker 3: that's what I did. I aligned my head and my heart.
Speaker 3: It was so disconnected. I lived in a place of
Speaker 3: ego for many, many years, and you know, my inspiration
Speaker 3: was to inspire people with love and self love and
Speaker 3: aligning themselves. Once again.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's interesting that you say that you pivoted so
Speaker 2: many times, right, because when I think that, if you've
Speaker 2: been on the planet for a little while, there's many
Speaker 2: stories that you can tell, right, There's many stories, there's
Speaker 2: many journeys, there's many overcomes, there's many forms of inspiration.
Speaker 2: And even for myself, right, I have a business world
Speaker 2: that many times I teach things about business and then
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, but there's this emotional side too, and
Speaker 2: they play a part. Like everything is relatable to things
Speaker 2: that you talk about love and you talk about self
Speaker 2: love and your book around der Ego Dear Heart. Some
Speaker 2: people think that those are two completely different things, but
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that they have a relationship.
Speaker 2: Tell us how the title came to be.
Speaker 3: It's funny that you say that you're super intuitive. They
Speaker 3: they are people. The world thinks they are separate entities,
Speaker 3: but they're not. They're all a part of you. Your mind,
Speaker 3: your thoughts, how you perceive yourself, how you observe yourself
Speaker 3: is part of your whole being. And if you're way
Speaker 3: over left field and you're only in your thoughts and
Speaker 3: you're not with your emotions, you're not aligned. So it
Speaker 3: was super important to me, and I write about it
Speaker 3: in my book, that your mind and your thoughts and
Speaker 3: your ego is a part of you, and each part
Speaker 3: of yourself has to learn how to embrace yourself. So
Speaker 3: it's a super important venture for me that people learn
Speaker 3: how to really accept themselves, both sides of themselves, your
Speaker 3: ego and your heart and your emotions.
Speaker 2: Now I can you know sometimes you know you can
Speaker 2: hear the next question, right, So somebody out there wants
Speaker 2: to know. So what's the benefit of that, Like, what
Speaker 2: is it about getting in touch with your ego and
Speaker 2: get in touch with your heart and reading about that?
Speaker 2: Is it more about life's poetic? And I want to
Speaker 2: share this journey. Is it more about what happens for
Speaker 2: someone when they start to recognize those parts of themselves.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you take the moment to really look within yourself
Speaker 3: and say, hey, I have these thoughts and I also
Speaker 3: have these emotions, and you take the time to heal that.
Speaker 3: What comes is self love and self acceptance and awareness,
Speaker 3: awareness of who you are. And once you're kind of
Speaker 3: aware of who you are, you can really learn to
Speaker 3: accept things about you. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: it comes to becoming your true authentic self. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we hear that word a lot about being authentic,
Speaker 2: and I think there's a new lease on life around
Speaker 2: being able to be more of yourself, have a sense
Speaker 2: of freedom, you know, self acceptance, self love part of
Speaker 2: the journey allowing life to be interesting, you know, life
Speaker 2: to be interesting. This morning, I woke up and I
Speaker 2: had this kind of flash of an experience that I
Speaker 2: had when I was much younger, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: that's interesting, you know. And it wasn't like I didn't
Speaker 2: attach a whole lot of things, so that I was like, well,
Speaker 2: that's an interesting thought to have. How many years later, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: so you put how long did it take you to
Speaker 2: put this book together. You said that you danced with
Speaker 2: this for quite a time, and so when you decided
Speaker 2: to put this together, I how long did it take
Speaker 2: you to complete? Two years? Wow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, two years.
Speaker 2: I never asked that question, And I'm like, why am
Speaker 2: I asking that question? I think that's so important that
Speaker 2: you know, because we live in a very fast ay,
Speaker 2: you too can have da da da da da in
Speaker 2: ninety days, and I mean it's just everywhere, right, but
Speaker 2: that there can be something very profound about moving it
Speaker 2: at the pace that you know, dancing to that, dancing to.
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I love that dub like it really was
Speaker 3: a dance. Like, I'm not a writer or an author
Speaker 3: by trade, so it really had to be when I
Speaker 3: had the downloads or when I was living life in
Speaker 3: my authentic self and experiencing beauty. Like I really had
Speaker 3: to feel things with the world, and when I did,
Speaker 3: I would get a download and then I would write.
Speaker 3: So that's why it took a little longer for me.
Speaker 2: No, I don't tend to ask that question and think
Speaker 2: it was a time that is perfect to ask, because
Speaker 2: you know, taking the time to author, write journal, what
Speaker 2: have you? Harry Go should not be full of shoulds,
Speaker 2: you know, like, oh, it took so long, well really
Speaker 2: long compared to what like long compared to what do
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So, look, we're going to
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about speaking, because I know that
Speaker 2: you do both. Some authors, you know, they do the
Speaker 2: book and standing in front of a stage. They'd rather
Speaker 2: go write ten more books, you know. And then there's
Speaker 2: people that speak and they're like, I keep speaking my story, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want to, nor desire to, nor feel like
Speaker 2: I can put it down on paper. So you're doing both.
Speaker 2: When you speak, do you share about things in your
Speaker 2: book or are you sharing about something else that you
Speaker 2: offer the world.
Speaker 3: It really depends on what the interviewee wants to talk about.
Speaker 3: So I have spoke about very heavy emotional darkness that
Speaker 3: I've endured in my life, and I'm okay with that
Speaker 3: because I am an open book and I want to share,
Speaker 3: you know, those experiences. And then there's other times where
Speaker 3: it's like just about the book and the inspiration of
Speaker 3: the books.
Speaker 2: So right, let's talk a little bit about speaking, because
Speaker 2: they've talked about authoring, and I find it really interesting.
Speaker 2: Every speaker has their own way. You know from how
Speaker 2: do you prepare? Like, how do you prepare you talk
Speaker 2: about emotional content? So there's sometimes there can be different
Speaker 2: preparation for people that are talking different topics. Right. I
Speaker 2: think about some of the speakers that I know to
Speaker 2: talk emotional contents with some of the things that they
Speaker 2: need to do in more in terms of self care
Speaker 2: or their preparations, very different if someone's talking about AI,
Speaker 2: for example, what about for yourself? Right? Put about for yourself?
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you would say that you do
Speaker 2: to help prepare yourself to be to speak in the
Speaker 2: way you want to be heard?
Speaker 3: Well, this is really all very new to me, especially
Speaker 3: the speaking component. I was in my heart I was
Speaker 3: a writer and I would be a writer one day.
Speaker 3: So you know, after I launched my book, there was
Speaker 3: some immediate podcasts and lines that I had to do
Speaker 3: and I had never done anything like that before. I'm
Speaker 3: very introverted and shy by nature, and I also had
Speaker 3: a brain about twelve years ago, so sometimes I really
Speaker 3: struggle verbalizing things and I really had to like heal
Speaker 3: that for many many years. So for me, the key
Speaker 3: is it's preparation and also like I kind of try
Speaker 3: and observe my thoughts and if they're going crazy or
Speaker 3: my egos taking over, I just slowly redirect it, meditate,
Speaker 3: and right before any sort of live or speaking event,
Speaker 3: I do what's called Cunelini punches and breathing techniques. And
Speaker 3: then most importantly, I've always promised myself that I would
Speaker 3: speak from my heart, and that's what I do. I
Speaker 3: just speak my truth and that's all it's got to
Speaker 3: be for my heart.
Speaker 2: So no, that's it's really valuable for people to share
Speaker 2: that piece because with people that are that speak and
Speaker 2: then kind of don't know how to put themselves back
Speaker 2: together right, leave themselves kind of you know, unsun and
Speaker 2: people that want to speak or want to share that whole.
Speaker 2: Preparation before and or preparation after is very important, including
Speaker 2: which is something that I think overall we probably don't
Speaker 2: do a lot is you know, even like a little
Speaker 2: celebration dance or something. We just kind of speak and
Speaker 2: we go into it and then we forget that the
Speaker 2: majority of the world would never want to get up
Speaker 2: on stage, the majority of the world would never want
Speaker 2: to share, and just the nerves alone. So the preparation
Speaker 2: beforehand I think helps people understand I do the same thing.
Speaker 2: I do some grounding. I have spoke the same subject
Speaker 2: many many many years on some of the things that
Speaker 2: I teach. I still just rewrite it. Now. I'm a
Speaker 2: big neuro person right and did a lot of brain
Speaker 2: health for a lot of years. So I love to write.
Speaker 2: I just know that it imprints so much better. And
Speaker 2: I'll take a look at my notes, and sometimes I
Speaker 2: look at my notes and I go, you've written those
Speaker 2: notes twenty times because you spoke all that twenty times
Speaker 2: last year. But that's part of my process, and I
Speaker 2: think it just helps me write it out and there's
Speaker 2: a knowingness. I'm like, oh, I have notes. Even though
Speaker 2: I don't need notes, I have notes, or I do
Speaker 2: the same thing. I get really quiet right before I
Speaker 2: tend to go out in the balcony because I'm on
Speaker 2: eleventh floor, so it's not like an go outside and
Speaker 2: put my feet on the ground immediately, and I just
Speaker 2: go and go, Okay, whoever needs to hear what I
Speaker 2: need to say today, you know, let it be one,
Speaker 2: let it be two, let it be twenty thousand, it
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter. Just let's make sure that I say
Speaker 2: what needed to be said, someone showed up today for
Speaker 2: something special, that extra person that needed that something. So yeah,
Speaker 2: very very very good. Well how long have you been
Speaker 2: doing what you're doing authoring? Yeah? Like when did the
Speaker 2: book launch?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been about four year journey. And like I said,
Speaker 3: I started different books at different times and it just
Speaker 3: didn't take. And this one spoke to my heart. Speaking live,
Speaker 3: I'm a newbie. I'm a baby girl. Yeah, I like
Speaker 3: Bards and learning from you. And I know it's December,
Speaker 3: I guess like six months. Yeah, yeah, it's okay now
Speaker 3: to be open to that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it shows that one one opportunity,
Speaker 2: when you brave up in one area, that it leads
Speaker 2: to other opportunities. And I think it's something really important
Speaker 2: to be seen. I do a lot of shows myself
Speaker 2: and my son do a lot of shows with you know,
Speaker 2: this incredible new generation of entrepreneurs that are starting it
Speaker 2: right from the get go, you know, and so Ocean
Speaker 2: being twenty one, and we talked. The last question that
Speaker 2: I that I ask, and hey, let's throw it out there,
Speaker 2: is you know, what's the big what's the big picture?
Speaker 2: You know, if it could come true, what is it
Speaker 2: that you want to come true. And there's so much
Speaker 2: power in being in in sharing what it is that
Speaker 2: we want and where we're going and what we're looking for.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter if it's now or ten years
Speaker 2: from now or five years from now. There's something. And
Speaker 2: I think you under you understand that and probably are
Speaker 2: long that you know philosophy that when you say it,
Speaker 2: there's a cool vibe that goes out right. And so
Speaker 2: you know, these young creatives are doing their thing and
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, what's the big goal? You know,
Speaker 2: what do you got that you want to go on?
Speaker 2: And they tend to have it, they know it right,
Speaker 2: and they may be, you know, not close to it yet,
Speaker 2: but there's this It goes out there and it lays track.
Speaker 2: And I think the same thing is when you actually
Speaker 2: start to put one foot in front of another and
Speaker 2: conquer something, then all of a sudden, all these doors
Speaker 2: open and it can be interesting. It can be interesting.
Speaker 2: It can be that, you know, it can be people
Speaker 2: retreat a little bit, it's too much success too soon,
Speaker 2: or it's like whooh, I didn't not do that, or
Speaker 2: it's thrilling, and it just continues to go. At some point,
Speaker 2: I think you're like, you know, people get too wow,
Speaker 2: this is this is getting pretty cool in groovy that's
Speaker 2: you're assume when that you're of a coaching whoa, this
Speaker 2: is getting pretty big. But what about for you, like,
Speaker 2: how does it? Did you expect that when you wrote
Speaker 2: that book and put it to market that these opportunities
Speaker 2: would come.
Speaker 3: I'm my philosophy is to have no expectations. But I'm
Speaker 3: Claire Audio and I have downloads and hear things. And
Speaker 3: I'm not super religious, and if you are, that's great,
Speaker 3: But I really, in my heart felt the faith that
Speaker 3: I was supposed to write this book and it will
Speaker 3: be a trilogy, So I'm supposed to write this trilogy.
Speaker 3: So and I'm a really powerful manifestor. But I wasn't
Speaker 3: used to, you know, the success that comes with it,
Speaker 3: and I didn't know how to network. And it's been
Speaker 3: a really great learning opportunity. And I love how you
Speaker 3: talk about our kids generation. My son's also twenty and
Speaker 3: they just have it like I wish that I had that.
Speaker 2: When I was little.
Speaker 3: We just didn't, you know, we were seen and not
Speaker 3: heard in our generation.
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, it was very different I say that
Speaker 2: from the generation before us. Till now. I feel like
Speaker 2: there's been ten generations, right, I mean, yeah, the consciousness
Speaker 2: that's come, the evolution, the conversations, the the allowance, the
Speaker 2: you know, the growth, like you know, everyone grown up,
Speaker 2: I call it. It's been good. It's been good. So look,
Speaker 2: let's tell We've talked a lot about different things that
Speaker 2: you've taken that have felt risky. But is there one
Speaker 2: you know, we're mission accepted, you know, double seven Da
Speaker 2: da da da da. Taking risks and running on the adventure,
Speaker 2: you know, sure, and then jumping in, but the was
Speaker 2: there something that was like, okay, what was one of
Speaker 2: the biggest risks that you felt that you took?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, there's been so many risks in my life.
Speaker 3: I actually recently left my eighteen year, eighteen year corporate career.
Speaker 3: I'm still in the industry a bit more family run.
Speaker 3: But the biggest breaths I actually took I was keeping
Speaker 3: faith that it was okay to lean into myself and
Speaker 3: take a real hard look at what was in there.
Speaker 3: And then the rest of looking deep allowed me to
Speaker 3: let go of my ego and take that leap of
Speaker 3: faith from my heart to heal myself. And you know,
Speaker 3: love myself again. You know, risking being vulnerable with myself
Speaker 3: was scary, but through it, I really learned to trust
Speaker 3: myself and believe in myself and really align my head
Speaker 3: into my heart. And you know how the old saying goes,
Speaker 3: deb no risk, no reward, and my reward through all
Speaker 3: of it has been courage and self love. So you know,
Speaker 3: now I have the courage to be vulnerable with the
Speaker 3: world and share my vulnerability from a true place of
Speaker 3: love with my writing and now podcasts.
Speaker 2: So yeah, very cool. Look, we're going to wrap up soon.
Speaker 2: And I can't ask that question and not ask this
Speaker 2: because it's the light. Life is full of surprises, right,
Speaker 2: life is full of surprises, and some of the coolest
Speaker 2: things that have happened in my world of entrepreneurship and
Speaker 2: my life write things that you just would never expect.
Speaker 2: For one, having our project at the Emmets and Oscars,
Speaker 2: I can tell you was not on my treasure map.
Speaker 2: Like I've got four treasure maps, double sided and not
Speaker 2: on any of them. Now, there was words that said
Speaker 2: go big. You know, good things are happening, like all
Speaker 2: those kind of things, but sometimes you just can't see
Speaker 2: that or you know, standing in church one day and
Speaker 2: Pierce Bronce's and there I'm like, I like your work.
Speaker 2: He's like, thanks, how mean? Let goh that's nice. Those
Speaker 2: kind of surprise things. What for you has been one
Speaker 2: of the coolest. Oh my gosh. I never thought this
Speaker 2: would happen, or I never thought i'd meet this person.
Speaker 2: What's a cool surprise that's happened for you? Oh?
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So, as we know, I'm a self
Speaker 3: published author and it was all new to me. And
Speaker 3: you know, once upon a time I was an analyst.
Speaker 3: So after I launched my book, from time to time,
Speaker 3: I would just go on Google. I didn't have any
Speaker 3: SEO searches, and I would just search my book titles
Speaker 3: or my website to see kind of what pulled up.
Speaker 3: And to my amazement, about a month ago, Dear Ego,
Speaker 3: Dear Heart was the first thing that the SEO searches
Speaker 3: engines did. I had like nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about that. So yeah, I pulled
Speaker 3: up everywhere, and it was on some pretty big catalogs
Speaker 3: and big hitters, Barnes and Noble, Indigo Makers and Quinn
Speaker 3: Better World Books. And so when I did that, I
Speaker 3: was like really tired. I don't know what was going on.
Speaker 3: It was late at night, and I thought I was delusional,
Speaker 3: Like I was like, I'm dreaming, Like I'm dreaming, this
Speaker 3: is not happening. So I called my partner at work.
Speaker 3: I'm like, can you just like search my book or
Speaker 3: my website or my name and you know, see what happens.
Speaker 3: And so he did and it was true, like the
Speaker 3: book had made those catalogs. And yeah, that was my
Speaker 3: biggest surprise.
Speaker 2: So that's a great surprise. That's a great surprise. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to I'm gonna ask you a question. I'm
Speaker 2: going to talk to the audience a little, but then
Speaker 2: I'm going to come back and ask you something. But
Speaker 2: you know, if anyone is scared out there to do
Speaker 2: what you've done, gone into business, you know, east your
Speaker 2: way out of a corporate career, getting on stages, writing
Speaker 2: a book, anything of that, what advice would you have?
Speaker 3: It's scary. I get that, And you know, we always
Speaker 3: live in either a place of love or fear. So
Speaker 3: my advice to you is, like, believe in yourself, and
Speaker 3: you know, find the tools that you need to find
Speaker 3: the confidence to believe in yourself and stand up, speak up,
Speaker 3: and show up for yourself and then you can do
Speaker 3: that for others.
Speaker 2: So right on, right on, Okay, So audience, you know
