Ready to lead without second-guessing yourself? We sit down with high performance coach and healing mentor Mel Finnerty to explore how true success starts on the inside. Mel works with CEOs, artists, and public figures to clear inherited beliefs, regulate the nervous system, and step into a steadier presence that makes work and life feel lighter. Instead of stacking more tactics on a stressed mind, she shows how authenticity turns into practical power—cleaner decisions, stronger boundaries, and the confidence to be seen without the armor.

Mel’s story sets the tone. She grew up navigating the pull to please and stay small, then spent decades testing therapy and diverse healing modalities to transform those early patterns. The lesson she brings to clients is simple and bold: everything is healable. When you name and release old programming, your gifts surface and your results become sustainable. We talk about co-regulation as a foundation, why self-care deepens into self-love, and how presence—not performance—drives real high performance for leaders and creatives alike.

We also touch on the business behind the work. Mel built a community by producing events for healers in New York City, and now keeps a focused practice of eight to ten clients per year. She offers a complimentary discovery session to ensure a strong fit and to give prospective clients a live taste of the process. Between stories of client breakthroughs and glimpses of her home life in Sedona—cooking with her husband, hiking with their dogs, and beach trips to Mexico—you’ll hear a grounded path for turning past pain into present clarity. If you’re ready to replace people-pleasing with presence and let your work flow from who you truly are, tune in, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.
