Listen "Should surfers date surfers? Melissa has thoughts."
Episode Synopsis
At 53, Melissa calls herself “scientifically a mermaid” — and after hearing her story, you’ll see why. Growing up near the ocean in Sydney, she dabbled in surfing for years before heartbreak pushed her to buy her own board and start solo surf missions. In this episode, Melissa shares how catching that first little wave became addictive, why Port Stephens is her sanctuary, and how surfing helped her heal, grow stronger, and find more joy in life. Melissa brings her expertise as a psychologist and dating coach to share her thoughts on love, the ocean, and why confidence in the lineup translates to confidence everywhere.
