We often ask guests if they would have made the changes in their life if they hadn’t faced their ‘challenge’ and many say no, but none can definitively know for sure quite like Melanie Lechte. Mel is a seasoned marketing professional with over 25 years of experience in high-level marketing across diverse industries, including sports, entertainment. It was after leaving her high profile and successful career that Mel embarked on a journey of self discovery, only to find that it still didn’t feel quite right. That was until she was in a horrific car accident that left her with severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury that would leave a lasting impact.

That accident was the moment that truly propelled her onto the path of finding her peace and place in life.

Now, Mel is channelling her passion for advocacy into new projects, including launching a podcast and writing a book cantered on brain injuries. Her goal is to provide support and guidance for individuals navigating the often-difficult changes that follow a concussion.

In this episode she shares:

• Her highly successful career prior to the accident
• The personal realisation she made after working in a highly successful career
• The health scare that convinced her to leave the high level work life
• Why her initial personal development journey didn’t work
• What was missed by the medical team immediately after her accident
• The cognitive issues she started to experience after her accident
• Her experience being dismissed by the medical community
• Her journey to discover help with her brain injury
• Her personal toolkit to help her be in the best possible state
• Her discovery of POTS and how it was effecting her.
• How her experience has changed her life for the positive

Key Quotes

“I had facial lacerations, a broken nose, lots of damage to my face, maybe 5 ribs were broken. My entire body was black at the top.”

“I wanted the old version of me to be back. I was like, when am I going to be normal again? When am I going to be the same again?”
