Empowering Her with Melody Pourmoradi

What if connection really is the antidote to a world that feels divided — for us and for the next generation?

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a real and unfiltered conversation (recorded right from my car) about what it means to choose connection in a world that seems designed to pull us apart. From family gatherings over the Jewish New Year, to my own shifts with technology, to a story from my travels in France — this...

What would shift in your relationship if you asked your child a question that made them light up—instead of just asking, “How was your day?”

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a heartfelt companion guide to The Connection Book—because this book isn’t just a collection of prompts… it’s a doorway into deeper presence, more meaningful conversations, and lifelong memories with the children you love.

Whether you're a parent...

Have you ever watched someone move through life with such presence that it feels like they’re living in a different dimension?

That’s exactly what I felt in Paris—and it inspired today’s episode.

Here’s what I’m sharing:

• My week in France and how Parisian women seem to hold a secret to living with more ease and presence
• Why meals in Paris aren’t about eating less but about enjoying more (and how that can shift our own r...

What if the secret to stronger relationships with your kids — and yourself — is as simple as presence?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing The Presence Experiment — a three-step practice you can use anytime to put down distractions, look up, and truly connect. Whether you’re with your child, a loved one, or even by yourself, this experiment is a reminder that presence changes everything.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside t...

It’s here! My brand-new book, The Connection Book: 33 Prompts to Help You and Your Child Talk More, Scroll Less, and Love Deeper, has officially been released.

This book poured through me and I can't believe it's finally here!

I created it for children and the grown ups who love them — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors, teachers, and caregivers — to reconnect with the children you love in a world that’s ...

What would happen if you started showing up like you — exactly as you are — were already enough?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting real about something I call “fix-it culture.” It’s the sneaky belief that we (or the people we love) are broken and need repairing before we can live our fullest lives. Spoiler alert: it’s an illusion — and it’s exhausting.

This conversation was sparked by a private coaching sess...

What shifts when you stop waiting for permission—and choose yourself instead?

In this episode of the Empowering Her Podcast, I sit down with fashion icon and global brand founder Rebecca Minkoff to talk about the power of believing in your vision and doing whatever it takes to bring it to life. We go deep into the creative mindset that helped her stand out, the early days of getting her products into the right han...

What if the thing you're dreaming about is waiting for you to just start — messy, imperfect, and straight from the heart?

In this special 5-year anniversary episode of the Empowering Her podcast, I’m sharing the truth about starting scared, honoring your inner voice, and how taking imperfect action can lead to personal growth, transformation, and a ripple effect of empowerment.

What if the way you feel in one area of your life is the secret to success in every other part?

Hey beautiful soul, in today’s episode of Empowering Her, I’m diving into a truth that I’ve experienced again and again: how we do one thing is how we do everything. When we align our energy and move through life from a place of joy, freedom, and full-body alignment, we don’t just feel better—we attract better.

...

Ever feel like the world is just… too much?

Same. But here's the truth: your light isn’t meant to hide—it’s meant to lead.

Hey love,

It’s Melody, and in this drive-time riff, I’m getting real about something that came up in my Zumba class (yes, inspiration can strike anywhere). A conversation with a woman I admire reminded me why it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the world—and exactly why that means we nee...

Who are you when there are no likes, no audience, no one to impress—just you and your own company?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m getting honest about what it means to live in alignment when no one’s around to applaud. In a world where so much of what we see is curated for public approval, I want to talk about what it looks like to embody kindness, sisterhood, and integrity when it’s just you and your thoughts.

...

Is your all-or-nothing mindset secretly holding you back from the life—and impact—you’re here to create?

In this week’s episode of the Empowering Her podcast, I’m unpacking the one mindset I see blocking so many women from stepping into their power, sharing their voice, and building the purpose-driven life or business they dream about. Whether you’re navigating a personal challenge, a new season of growth, or consideri...

What if one woman’s healing could create a ripple that reaches girls around the world?

22 years ago, I discovered the work of Louise Hay — and it completely transformed my life.

Her teachings on self-love, affirmations, and the power of our inner dialogue became the foundation for how I live, lead, and serve.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how Louise’s work became the catalyst for everything I do — from creating my firs...

What if prayer wasn’t about asking for something... but about remembering that you're already connected to everything you need?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m opening up about something that’s shaped the way I live, create, and lead: prayer—but not the kind we were taught to recite. I’m talking about prayer as a deeply personal, empowering connection with something greater than us. One that belongs to you,...

What if the one thing a machine is doing better than most humans... is actually a reminder of what we've forgotten how to do?

In this episode of Empowering Her, I’m diving into something that totally caught me off guard — the way artificial intelligence (yes, even ChatGPT!) has mastered something deeply human: acknowledgment and validation.

Let that sink in.

We live in a world where we’re constantly rushing, scro...

What if you could feel your way into health before any doctor ever confirmed it?

Hey love — Today’s episode is one I wasn’t planning on recording, but life gave me a loud (and slightly dramatic) reminder that I had to share this moment with you. This is a quickie, but it’s a powerful one.

Here’s the truth: I read something online — in my medical portal, plugged it into ChatGPT like I sometimes do — and I s...

What if your worth had nothing to do with your reflection—and everything to do with your radiance?

Hi loves! Today’s Empowering Her episode is a heart-to-heart that’s been building in my coaching sessions with teen girls and in my own mirror moments. I felt called to press record before Friday night guests arrived because this message couldn’t wait.

Let’s talk about worthiness.

Too many girls—and let’s be ho...

The most powerful thing you bring into any room isn’t what you say—it’s who you are.

This episode is a reminder that your energy, your presence, and your intention matter more than you think.

On this episode of Empowering Her, I share a story that unfolded during a simple stop at a UPS store. What started as a quick errand turned into a meaningful connection with a stranger—and a beautiful reflection on what it really means t...

What if the magic you’ve been waiting for… is actually waiting for you?

This episode is a love letter to the woman who knows there’s more for her—but hasn’t quite known how to claim it. Until now.

Welcome to Made for Magic—a soulful soirée, a mindset reset, and a deep remembering of your power.

Inside this episode, I share:

• What “everyday magic” really is—and why most of us miss it
• 10 powerful ways we unknowingly&nb...
