Recovering After a Toxic Relationship (and Actually Trusting Again) with Heather Melville

If you've ever wondered why smart, self-aware women stay in bad relationships—or why it’s so hard to move on—you’re going to want to listen to this one. Heather Melville (Counselor Endotype) is a toxic relationship recovery coach with the receipts: she left an abusive 8-year relationship, walked away from a successful engineering career, and now helps other women rebuild lives they actually love.

In this episode, we dig into why healing after toxicity isn’t about “finding the next one”—it’s about reconnecting to yourself, learning to trust your intuition, and forgiving yourself for what you didn’t know then. We also talk about the not-so-funny problem of being a coach with a soft brand voice that doesn’t match your bold, hilarious truth.

Heather now lives full-time in a converted shuttle bus with her fiancé, running workshops from the road and building a business that aligns with her real voice—one that’s smart, sarcastic, and deeply committed to helping women stop fixing everyone else and finally choose themselves. Her background in engineering and lighting design makes her story even more compelling: this is a coach who rebuilt every part of her life—from the ground up.
