Who is running the retreat?

I'm Melissa Talago, a down-to-earth midlife woman who has found herself stuck in indecision many times. 

I know how crippling that can be, how it eats into your happiness. And the older you get, the greater the sense of urgency to live a more interesting, satisfying, joyful or purposeful life becomes.

But I know that the only thing that solves indecision and a lack of clarity is ACTION. 

I've consistently done just that, stepping out of my comfort zone and changing my life because I have a very simple belief:

​Life is meant to be lived. Not existed. 

As the founder of Glamoraks, I know the power of walking in nature and talking with other women. 
​
Unstuck is your weekend to find clarity, to figure out what it is you need, and to create an action plan to make it happen. 

(Oh, and it will be fun!)

Feedback from women I've helped in the past

I'm not a coach, psychologist or guru. I'm an entrepreneur and marketer, who  has run hiking and business retreats in the past. My superpower is being able to cut through the fluff to help women - and businesses - get clarity and direction. 

Oh wow! Thank you for your help today, my head is buzzing with plans and I can't wait to start putting them into action. In one phone call you managed to set me in the right direction on things I've been pondering on for months. You are a gem, thank you so much." Stacey

I literally sat in my car with tears of joy – you were able to articulate my value in a way that I’ve never been able to do in as succinct a manner." Carolyn

Just want to say a HUGE thank you. Thank you for being YOU, for holding me to account, for not allowing me to 'fluff' a response, for being challenging, direct, honest and supportive all at the same time."  Jennifer

You are just so good at what you do, I really don't think I have come across anyone so dynamic. The way that you can translate every different type of business that you come across, and you just "get them" is really inspiring. It puts a fire in my belly.' Ruth
