Your Inner
FIRE
Do you know who you are? The authentic you? The one you were before society told you otherwise?
Are you often misunderstood and undervalued? Do you know you were made for something more? That you were meant for making a big impact on this world?
Do you suspect your “weird” is actually the thing that makes you an important and necessary part of society? Are you ready to burn the patriarchy and create a new, more loving society for all?
If you answered yes, then it is no accident you have landed upon this page. The world needs you in all your brilliance. When we connect with our inner fire, we burn brightly for all to see. We become the lighthouses that guide others to their inner fire where we’ll build a bigger and brighter community. In the brilliance of our blaze, the patriarchy will fall.
Would you dare hug a stranger at the grocery check-out?
And if you continued to hug strangers for 365 days, how might it change you?
Melinda Lee did just that, spending a year hugging everyone she encountered—family, friends, strangers, no one was off limits. But in the quest to prove that everyone is worthy of love and belongingness, she found herself questioning her own.
Rebel Hugger tells the story of Melinda’s first hug journey, complete with the soul-rocking questions that followed, and a second journey that would take her cross-country to hug and stay with strangers. What happened in between and after is a funny, relatable deep dive into the way women struggle with low self-esteem and substitute people-pleasing for developing healthy boundaries.
Melinda explores life across America, makes unlikely friends, encounters stranger danger, and challenges what we think we know about the human condition. You’ll come out the other side feeling love for your fellow humans and ready to embrace your own sense of self-worth.
Reading this memoir is like being wrapped in a comforting hug—one that empowers you to believe in yourself just a little bit more. Download your copy today.

“We all have an inner rebel. Some whose influence is greater than others but always a voice that is gently urging, ‘I know this doesn’t make sense, but do it anyway.’
This inner rebel will always lead you to the greatest adventures of your life. Ones that at first may have you wondering, ‘What the hell did I just do?’ but eventually, inevitably to the greatest awe-inspiring moments of yourself and your life.”
– Melinda Lee Schmitt
Are you ready to ignite that fire within you?
When you were born, you knew who you were. You knew how to get your needs met unapologetically. You weren’t afraid to use your voice and dream impossible dreams. You were created to use your unique voice and dreams to build a magnificent life experience for yourself and your community but society indoctrinated you with beliefs that convinced you that it’s not true. Society convinced you that you are not safe unless you conform. Your culture convinced you that different is bad. That your voice and dreams are to be used for the sole purpose of maintaining the status quo.
Yet, you have an unsettling feeling deep within that continues to say, “you were born for more than this.” You have tried to be the dutiful partner, exemplary employee, attentive parent and while these all brought you some happiness, there is a discontent that defies logic. You cry to loved ones, “I don’t understand. On paper, my life seems perfect. Why am I so miserable?”
Your wild self is calling. Society may have been able to tame you for a while, but they can’t extinguish the call that gets louder with each passing year, with each new diagnosis, with each failed relationship that says, “You have been chosen to lead the impractical dream. All that’s required is that you once again ignite the passion that burns within you.”
Introducing the
Ignite Your Inner
FIRE
3 and 6 Month Programs
Are you ready to reclaim your inner fire?
Do you know who you are? The authentic you? The you that you were before the world told you who to be? The one that feels at peace in her own skin?
When you were born, you knew who you were. You knew how to get your needs met unapologetically. You weren’t afraid to use your voice. You lived unapologetically and full of pride and awe of your own damn self. Your unique qualities are the very gifts you were born to share with the world. It wasn’t long though before our patriarchal society led you to believe that your unique gifts weren’t welcome and you needed to conform in order to stay safe and belong.
You are hard wired for belonging so you went along with it. You tried to be the dutiful wife, exemplary employee, attentive mom, and nice member of the community. While these all brought you some happiness, there is a discontent that defies logic. You cry to loved ones, “I don’t understand. On paper, my life seems perfect. Why am I so miserable?”
Society may have been able to dampen your flame, but they can’t extinguish the smoldering from within that gets hotter with each passing year, with each new diagnosis, with each failed relationship that says, “You are more than this. You came here to be the brightest light you could be. All that’s required is that you reclaim your inner fire; the very essence of you.”
