Welcome to My Journey

HI! I’m Melissa

Through twists, turns, and a few sprinkles of serendipity, life has taught me a thing or two. I don’t have it all figured out, and I won’t ever claim I do. Life is full of so many experiences and mine are surely different from yours. But every stumble, every laugh, every tear and every triumph has painted a canvas touched with vibrant hues of wisdom. My truest passion lies in shining a light of possibility, hope, and encouragement onto others. I like to say I believe in people before they even believe in themselves.

Each endeavor I’ve pursued, from Oh My Cupcakes! to Sweet Cream Candle Co. and Melissa J Creative is crafted with intention to create beautiful things that bring joy into the world. Whether you’re enjoying a delectable hand-crafted gourmet cupcake, the twinkling dance of a candle’s flame, or the profound power of the written and spoken word, my mission remains the same: to uplift (you and others!) and make the world a brighter, happier place.

“With purpose and intensity I race for my goal. I race, and yet mark out a steady and specific path to achieve my goal with integrity and diligence.  Allowing no distraction to divert me from my path, I turn my face and heart nearer towards Christ, for I know that He is the ultimate finish line.”

A Little About Me

My roots trace back to broadcast media and communications. For well over a decade my voice echoed across various radio channels, engaging audiences and cultivating harmony with listeners and companies alike. I pivoted my on-air experience, retaining and cultivating my experience in marketing and promotions and have infused them into each venture since. Today I passionately merge my entrepreneurial spirit with my love of people, inspiring others as a keynote speaker, an experiential retreat facilitator, and a professional development trainer.

  • My first radio job was as Metal Melissa on the local hard rock station. From there, I went to a light and easy station. Kind of a transformation from “Metal Melissa” to “Minivan Melissa.”
  • I used to ride a red Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle.
  • Growing up on a farm as a child, I had a cat named Tim who had only half a tail.
  • My favorite flower is the tulip.
  • My first job was working as an evening janitor at an animal vaccine production facility. I may or may not have ridden the buffer down the hallway a time or two.
  • I’ve known since I was five years old that I was going to be a writer when I grew up.
  • I picked my favorite football team “because I liked the color of their outfits.” (Ask me who my favorite team is!)
  • I used to be a school bus dispatcher for a small school district. Guess I got comfortable speaking in front of people by talking into a CB Radio.
  • I’d see almost any terrible movie if it meant I could have movie theater popcorn.
