Listen "The Transformative Power of Saying Yes with Melanie Fiona"
Episode Synopsis
Grammy-winning artist Melanie Fiona has navigated every high and low the music industry can throw at someone and emerged stronger each time. Host Maura Chanz warmly welcomes Grammy Award–winning artist and The Mama's Den co-host for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it really takes to survive and thrive, both in the industry and in life. Melanie opens up about growing up in Toronto with parents who trusted her enough to give her the freedom to explore a career in music. She gives Alicia Keys her flowers, praising her as a great example of balancing music with motherhood. Discover how music flows through Melanie’s motherhood, from turning Sam Cooke and Nat King Cole classics into lullabies to passing down her musical legacy to the next generation. She also shares the mission behind The Mama's Den—a podcast and community dedicated to creating authentic spaces for mothers to show up as they are. This episode delves into the intersection of artistry and motherhood, the strength found in vulnerability, and how the moments that try to break us can ultimately remake us into who we’re meant to be.Connect with Melanie:Instagram: @melaniefionahttps://melaniefiona.com/Connect with Maura:Instagram: @maurachanzJoin the Women In Progress community on Substack: maurainprogress.substack.com for updates, extra insights, and more conversations like this.
