Tired of feeling like you have to choose between success and a fulfilling personal life? You’re not alone, and Mel Cunningham, founder of Now and Zenergy, is here to prove that you don’t have to choose at all. On this episode of the Scaling Up Success podcast, Mel shares insights from six years of coaching high-achieving professionals, revealing a powerful truth: it’s entirely possible to thrive in both business and life. Her journey as a coach has evolved from structured systems to deeply personalized approaches that spark real transformation. One of her most impactful offerings? Immersive retreats that help ambitious leaders unplug, reconnect with their true selves, and rediscover what truly matters.
Mel dives into the power of the "inner game", emphasizing the importance of self-awareness over external tactics. She challenges the conventional narrative around success, highlighting how comparison, especially in corporate settings and on social media, leads to unnecessary stress and self-doubt. Instead, she champions authentic leadership rooted in self-knowledge and purpose. Her message is especially resonant for entrepreneurs and women: stay true to yourself, surround yourself with the right support, and seek mentors who’ve walked the path before you. If you’re ready to stop hustling at the expense of your wellbeing, this episode offers a new lens for building success from the inside out.
