EPISODE 072

Learning doesn’t happen in isolation - it happens inside full lives. In a year that holds leadership responsibilities, business growth, graduate studies, travel, family life, and personal capacity, often the roadblock isn’t “What should I learn next?”, but rather, “How does continued learning fit into the life I’m actually living?”

In the final episode of the Continuing Professional Education mini-series, Melissa shares how she designed a learning pathway that fits inside an already-full year -  not as a theoretical exercise, but as a lived practice.

You’ll hear how annual and quarterly planning become containers for learning, how seasonality and personal capacity shape what’s possible, and how her four learning priorities landed once they were placed alongside the realities of the year ahead.

We explore:

▶️ Integrating leadership, facilitation, financial empowerment, and systems work into a single year

▶️ Designing around real capacity, seasonality, and life rhythms

▶️ Why Continuing Professional Education is something we live, not check off our list
