I'm a wife & mother of 3 just trying to juggle every-day life while being a successful entrepreneur of 3 businesses & taking care of myself
We would like to thank you for supporting Melissa LeMond in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
It has provided me with a plethora of life experiences, both good & bad, that have shaped me into the person that I am today & have given me a confidence that I've never had before. These experiences & confidence in myself help me as I navigate daily challenges, whether it is related to my family or 1 of my businesses. The confidence that I have now has led me to become unapologetically myself which has allowed me to expand my 3 businesses all while maintaining focus on my family & our futures.
How do you stay fabulous?I have a structured routine for self-care, which physically allows me to stay fabulous. SPARKLE is my favorite color & I use it to enhance aspects of my life whether that is in my wardrobe, events I host, in decorating, or even in naming one of my businesses. On an emotional level I have learned to set boundaries in my life to provide a standard of what I am willing to accept from others' behaviors & eliminate relationships (both personal & professional) that do not positively impact my life.
What would you do with the $40,000?While I have traveled quite a bit within the US, I would absolutely use it to travel to Barbados & stay at a super-swanky resort where I would fully "unplug" (something that I never do) & take in the full experience & get some very much needed rest & relaxation. Traveling to Barbados would not take the entirety of the prize money & the remainder would go towards a pool for my children since they have been the drive for me to be successful & fabulous from the moment they were born.
