What would it feel like to finally create space for yourself — your truth, your voice, your needs?
Hey, I’m Mel Hagan
As a mindset coach, I help women in midlife break free from burnout, people-pleasing, and self-doubt — so they can reconnect with who they truly are, reclaim their voice, and create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and true.
This isn’t about surface solutions — it’s about real conversations, real clarity, and lasting change. This is about going inward and doing the work to uncover the beliefs, stories and quiet compromises that have slowly pulled you away from who you really are. I know exactly how it feels to tick all the boxes on paper yet still wake up wondering if this is it. I have been through my own “what now” moments so I bring more than coaching frameworks. I bring real-world perspective and truth-telling that cuts through the noise.
My approach blends a mindset-first reset with practical strategies you can actually live by. I will meet you exactly where you are, in the mess, the burnout, the exhaustion or the identity shifts, and I will walk beside you until you can see yourself clearly again.
The change we create is transformation at the identity level — the kind that stays with you long after our sessions end. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming back to the woman you’ve always been.
What People Are Saying
"I was open to working with Mel because I’m always looking for ways to grow and improve. I was stuck in a negative headspace and wanted to shift my mindset and become more positive. Mel gave me the confidence to open up while also challenging my thinking, helping me see things from a fresh perspective. She holds you accountable in every session and always responds with support and encouragement. Every conversation with Mel left me feeling inspired and wanting more. Since working together, I’ve noticed changes in my decision making and state of mind. If I had to sum up my coaching experience in three words, they’d be enlightening, inspiring, and motivational—it really exceeded my expectations!”
— FIONA SOMERVILLE“I absolutely loved working with Mel during our coaching series. It was truly life enhancing! When we first connected I was feeling like I was living in a constant state of ‘Groundhog Day’! I was balancing a new role at work, studying for a new career change and trying to balance all the things that come with motherhood. I really wanted to shift and move through some mindsets that were holding me back. Right from our first conversation we connected. Mel had such a kind, yet no fuss approach. I felt seen and heard and wanted the support and guidance she could offer. She is a wealth of knowledge, and I felt supported in my goals and values the entire time. After each of our calls I felt empowered and called to step into my truth. I now feel clearer in knowing what I want, what I want my life to look like and how I can keep moving forward towards that.”
— Danielle Davey
Life Coach“When I came to Mel I was super keen to get clarity on my purpose and work on my mindset. I was feeling overwhelmed in some areas of my life. Mel was open, kind and provided a really safe space for me to open up and go deep. The way we broke down little actions I could take for each goal between sessions made it so much easier to be accountable, they helped me stay focused. By taking actions on my goals, I have freed up so much time to be present in life rather than dwell on negative thoughts or feelings. I feel much more grounded and in tune with who I am and what I stand for. Thank you so much, you have helped me break down some barriers that were firmly in place and I feel like a renewed version of myself going into 2025.”

why choosing happiness is key:
Happiness isn’t just about fleeting moments of joy or checking off goals on your to-do list. It’s about living in alignment with your values, having a sense of purpose and feeling emotionally at peace. True happiness is a mindset that stems from within, not from external circumstances. Building a life of happiness is about cultivating a balance of the following key components:
-
Understanding who you are, what you need, and what truly brings you joy.
-
Living a life that feels aligned with your values and passions.
-
Finding joy in the present moment and appreciating the small things.
-
Navigating life’s challenges with a sense of strength and optimism.
-
Nurturing relationships and surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people.
-
These are the building blocks of a happier, more fulfilling life, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. With coaching, I’ll guide you through each of these elements so you can rediscover the joy and purpose that may feel out of reach right now.
