My name is Mel Inglima, and I’ve learned that life’s ups and downs are a gift. Each stumble and each triumph has taught me something new, and I’m here to share those lessons.
I wasn’t always a traveler on life’s winding path. My early years, from a very young boy, were spent in a restrictive religious cult, where I was taught to focus only on preparing for the immanent next life. Marriage, kids, a career, and connections to “the outside world” weren’t part of the plan.
When I finally broke free in early adulthood, I faced a steep learning curve. I had to figure out how to build a life from scratch—and fast. I dove into jobs, built businesses, and stumbled around directionless at times. Along the way, through failures and successes, I discovered a passion for helping others thrive, no matter the obstacles.
Today, at 74, I’m more determined than ever to use my experiences to spark meaningful conversations, share insights, and create a space where people of all ages feel empowered to navigate their own journeys.
