Hey, i'm melanie

I created this podcast to help you
learn the mindset behind being a bad b*tch in your business, to make million-dollar-decisions, and to create a business you LOVE working in.

The Bad Bitch Entreprenuer is about doing business in a way that’s led by your feminist values — a way that honors you as the human being running the business, while serving your people at the highest level.

"I Love this podcast"

Melanie’s brilliance is in her wisdom, authenticity, and compassion for her listeners. She not only knows what she’s talking about, she also shares who she is in such an open way.


Having her voice in my ear makes an incredible difference for me as I grow my coaching business.


Here’s to ALL the women making ALL the money with the help of Melanie’s brilliance!


-Laura S.

You don’t need more strategies, planners, or blueprints. You just need a little bad bitch-itude

The Bad B*tch Entrepreneur is the place where I share the only mindset strategies you need to be a confident Bad Bitch as you make your first hustle-free $100k and then $1million.

Every week you’ll learn valuable skills to get more sh*t done in less time and to show up in the world as the bad bitch you’ve been all along.

Ready to show up as the bad bitch you know you are.

“Balm for an entrepreneurial Soul!”

As an entrepreneur, I feel seen and that she “gets” me, my struggles and challenges. And then offers beautiful wisdom to help me relax and move forward. Thank you Melanie!!
