In the show’s final episode, host Melinda Cohan distills four years and 163 episodes into three timeless coaching truths: curiosity, vulnerability, and community. While bidding a grateful goodbye, Melinda also discusses the challenge of perfectionism and the importance of presence over performance.

In this finale, Melinda talks about:

• Three takeaways: curiosity, vulnerability, community
• The story of “Susie” and the power of a single question
• Radical self-trust inspired by singer-coach Michelle Kopper
• Owning the “hot mess” and redefining perfectionism
• The JV-summit moment that taught real-world marketing through compassion
• Her gratitude to listeners, guests, team, and Executive Producer Danny Iny
• Parting advice on presence over performance in every session

“May your coaching sessions be spacious and your questions be brave.”
