Behind every powerful brand is a story—and Melanie Whittaker helps women share theirs with confidence. In this conversation, Melanie opens up about growing up with a narcissistic mother, discovering the difference between conditional and unconditional love, and how that shaped her work as a PR consultant.
She explains why authentic storytelling is more magnetic than “perfect” marketing, the key difference between PR and marketing, and how peeling back the layers of your story helps you connect with the right people.
Melanie is a public relations consultant and founder of You Are Your Marketing, where she helps women expand their visibility through podcasts, magazines, digital TV, and more. Her chapter Coming Out of the Shadows in the book Transforming Pain into Purpose shows how owning your truth is the gateway to impact.
