Hey Housewives! 

We are so excited to share with you our dear friend, Christian life and business coach, Melissa Batt. She is a stay-at-home-mama turned top six-figure direct sales leader who found herself exhausted, checked out of life, and sacrificing her mental health and main priorities to chase success, status, and money. (Unintentionally, of course!) She spent years putting the hustle in front of her marriage, her family, and her faith until God let her fall flat on her face. Through that hard season, she learned to lean on Him for peace, rest, and rescue. Today, she is a life & business coach who helps women slow down, remember their purpose, and lean in closer to Him to live the life He is calling them to. She is super passionate about entrepreneurship because of the freedom and flexibility it allows for those mamas who need to work from home.

💙 We each have worked privately with Melissa as she has been our life coach helping us listen to what God has called us to do…and truth be told, led each of us to the discussion of hosting a podcast and in turn we created this incredible podcast and became the Unlikely Housewives!

💙 Melissa shares with us how she walked into the direct sales world as an outlet to get out of the house, meet new people and connect socially after moving across the country for her husband’s job. She’s always loved the industry and shared with her friends, but never wanted to do it. (So many can relate to this!)

💙 We love Melissa’s heart so much and how open she is about how her multiple moves & diving into her career to escape all the things really affected her marriage and kids.

💙 Once she took her foot off the gas of working her business, she started to see what she was missing in her marriage and with her kids. She started to set business hours, and it really helped. She finally started dreaming again, hearing what God had in store for her, & finally jumped in to starting a nonprofit. In 2020, she started reading “Jesus over Everything” (link below), and this book changed everything for her. She heard God say “You’re done, you are released” and it allowed her to go all in on her coaching. Melissa surrendered everything in her business: a full calendar of events, a six figure paycheck and accolades all in order to obey God. 

💙 She walked right into life coaching and quickly added business coaching as she realized her experience and gift God has given her truly aligns within both. 

💙 Melissa offers a few pieces of advice for someone who is “stuck” in their vision with their direct sales or network marketing business. Tune in to hear her greatest piece of advice that she truly believes equals peace in your heart.
