Welcome to itsmelissacarroll.com, your go-to source for information and inspiration that will enhance and simplify every aspect of your busy life.
Hi, I’m Melissa Carroll, a 40-somethingish wife and mother of two. In 2013 I moved from my hometown of Staten Island, New York to Dutchess County, New York. I was living in the same state, but it felt like two completely different worlds. The first five years after the move were difficult and I was in a negative state of mind. But without those dark times, I would not be where I am today. After delving into countless books, articles, podcasts, and blogs about self-improvement, spirituality, parenting, and relationships I had an epiphany: I had to change my mindset, so that I could change my life. I have implemented the strategies, advice, and motivation from all of my research and my life has never been better.
That’s why I made this website. I want to share this information and inspiration with others so they too can live a life of joy, peace, and love. We live in such a busy world with so many pressures and responsibilities– but, there are ways to feel calm amidst the chaos of everyday life. Whether you’re seeking ways to enhance your mental clarity, improve your physical health, nourish your spirit, deepen your relationships, or whip up a meal in a pinch, you’ll find something here to support you on your journey.
But I’m not just about serious self-improvement here—life is also about enjoying the process. That’s why you’ll find a sprinkle of my personality infused into everything I do. From my guilty pleasure of watching reality TV, to blasting old-school rap music, to my love for all foods made with chocolate, I’m here to share the real, unfiltered me with you.
