Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Impett.
Melissa, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Growing up, I was so ashamed of my body. I just never understood why I wasn’t lucky enough to have a fit, curvy body like all those girls I saw in magazines. I thought it was impossible for me because I was “big boned” and had no chance of looking curvy & fit.
Years went by and I would sit around WISHING things could be different. I wanted so badly to be proud of my body, but I just sat around ashamed. My self-confidence was non-existent because I was so unhappy with how I looked.
College rolled around and I started meeting different people who were passionate about working out.
Passionate… about working out??? I was blown away because I hadn’t realized that was such a thing!! People actually enjoyed working out? Watching these people and learning about their lifestyles made me start to realize that maybe I could make a change. I started to realize that my body was entirely up to me.
I was wishing things could be different, but I realized that I wasn’t actually doing anything to make a change. Huge AH-HA moment in my life. If I wanted things to change, I needed to be the one to change!
This is where my love for fitness and nutrition began. I took it upon myself to start investing in myself. I got curious about the human body and how it functioned. I started becoming more resourceful and teaching myself about how to eat properly for my goals.
Self-love was something I was horrified of, but I learned over and over again that LOVING the body you were blessed with was key for making this life-changing transformation.
The Beautifully Built Podcast was born after the life lessons I learned on my journey to living a healthier, more positive life. The mission behind Beautifully Built is to inspire people to take the body they were BLESSED with and build it into the body they’ve dreamed of through fitness, nutrition, and a little attitude adjustment.
It’s my goal to share an empowering platform for people to come on and share their stories about how fitness and a positive mindset has transformed their entire life.
Listeners who tune into the Podcast love the little attitude adjustment every week. They can pick up tips and tricks from other people who have learned to love their body and appreciate the process of achieving their health and fitness goals.
It’s such a comforting feeling for people to realize that they are not alone in the ups and downs to getting fit! Having a community to lean on and learn from is life-changing, it’s my pleasure to invite YOU to join our community as we all work together to empower each other!
The Beautifully Built Podcast is available on iTunes as well as Spotify! Tune in every Monday, Wednesday & Friday for some extra motivation and personal development.
Has it been a smooth road?
No way! There have been ups and downs in both my personal journey as well as the journey of becoming an entrepreneur. Having the confidence to speak up and let your voice be heard isn’t easy, so launching a Podcast that is available around the entire world was a huge step out of my comfort zone. I was taught by a mentor of mine to “jump and let the net appear” and I am so happy that I did because the Podcast has not only impacted my life but it’s opened a platform for other people to come on and share their message to impact people all over the world.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Beautifully Built – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
In the fast-paced world that we live in today, people just don’t have as much time to read a book or what a video. Podcasting is an awesome way for people to learn valuable information on the go. Being able to listen right on your phone allows people to be able to listen in the car, while they cook dinner, at the gym or even on a walk. It’s just like a radio show, so it’s easy to tune into while you are doing other things.
Beautifully Built is a little attitude adjustment and reminder for people who want to make a change to their body mentally, physically and spiritually. On the show, we talk about fitness, nutrition, personal development, self-love and different strategies to work on to feel and look your best.
The show is also a place for people who have a message about their own personal journey to come on and share. I feel as if I always learn best from other peoples experiences, so I find that it’s powerful to be able to interview people with various goals and various stories.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Boston has my heart forever. It’s a young city full of life and it is just so exciting to see how many people are focusing on their health and becoming more stronger versions of themselves. I feel as if we need a stronger community here in Boston to teach and share stories and I think the Beautifully Built podcast helps create the safe community for people to tune into.
