About this episode

What if the next version of you does not require more hustle?

What if she requires more safety?

In this episode of Joy Unfiltered, Rachel sits down with Melissa Hoffman, holistic mindset coach and breathwork facilitator, to talk about nervous system regulation, subconscious belief work, identity alignment, and what it really means to feel safe being seen.

Melissa shares her journey from corporate sales to luxury makeup artistry to coaching women entrepreneurs through the deeper inner work of confidence, visibility, and business growth. After years of helping women feel beautiful on the outside, she realized many of them were still struggling with fear, self-doubt, and the belief that who they were was not enough.

Now, through hypnosis, NLP, EFT tapping, somatic breathwork, and nervous system work, Melissa helps high-achieving women entrepreneurs grow their businesses with more ease, authenticity, confidence, and capacity.

Rachel and Melissa explore the fear of visibility, imposter syndrome, subconscious rewiring, breathwork, emotional regulation, heart rate variability, and why a flexible nervous system may be one of the most underrated business tools a woman can develop.

Because success is not just about what you build.

It is about who your body feels safe becoming.

Melissa Hoffman is a holistic mindset coach and breathwork facilitator who helps high-achieving women entrepreneurs regulate their nervous systems, rewire subconscious beliefs, and embody the version of themselves who feels safe being seen, fully expressed, and abundantly paid.

Through her signature blend of nervous system work and identity alignment, Melissa guides women to grow their businesses with ease, confidence, and authenticity without the hustle.

Before becoming a coach, Melissa spent 12 years as a luxury makeup and hair artist, helping women feel beautiful and confident for weddings, photo shoots, and brand sessions. That work revealed a deeper calling: helping women feel confident not just for a day, but from the inside out.
