About Me
Hey, I'm Melissa Goodwin. I'm the founder of BRKTHRU Group (a coaching agency to personal brands and Fortune 500 companies), a YouTuber, author, and fashion designer.
I’m deeply passionate about helping people (no matter where they are at in life) unleash the most confident version of themselves.
Growing up, I dressed Barbie for her dreams. Anything she wanted, she’d get…because I was dressing her for it.
This taught me that anything was possible when you love how you feel in the mirror.
As I grew out of Barbie and into dressing my own body, the mirror and I had a real love/hate relationship for the majority of my childhood and young adulthood.
Because of this, I taught myself how to feel good and gain confidence through fashion. Only I didn’t have any money to buy expensive clothes, so I curated the skills to shop for the best style for the most affordable prices.
This resulted in a lot of career and life success. I eventually built a seven-figure coaching business serving some of the world’s best billion-dollar brand leaders.
In 2018, I knew it was it time to begin sharing the style secrets I was using personally to build my own confidence, with an audience. So that year I tip-toed onto Youtube and began building a channel sharing feel good, affordable fashion.
I WASN'T READY FOR WHAT WOULD COME NEXT
I WASN'T READY FOR WHAT WOULD COME NEXT
My channel quickly grew and within a year I had over 20,000 subscribers and a couple of viral videos.
But I learned success doesn’t always equal confidence.
I experienced a new wave of imposter syndrome, business shake-up, and the challenges of having to navigate a pandemic and lock down with two kids.
All of this resulted in a Tuesday afternoon in 2021, unshowered, depressed, on the verge of quitting Youtube, and 20 pounds heavier than I’d ever been when I realized:
I had stopped getting dressed.
