There are various ways to define giftedness.

Every human has gifts, and it is vital that we each uncover and live our gifts.

For our purposes, however, I am speaking of the specific brain type with which a small subset of the population is born.

This outlier brain places you in the top 2% of intellectual and creative potential.

It cannot be learned or taught.

It is a birth characteristic, like green eyes, which, incidentally, are also seen in only about two percent of the population.

Like extraordinary athletic or musical ability, neurological giftedness cannot be taught, but it can be nurtured or suppressed.

Mainstream advice and research doesn't take our brain type into account.

I've seen so many highly gifted people diligently applying the best-in-class research from various disciplines to their own lives, and yet still having problems and feeling like they aren't expressing all that they believe themselves capable of.

Feeling like we aren't meeting our true potential or finding ourselves unable to fully create what we know is within us is an existential pain that others don't understand. They simply can't.

The "otherness" of our brain type has been with us quietly in the background since birth.

The lack of ACCURATE support for optimizing it has caused us to feel like there is simply something wrong or off about ourselves individually: a personality or character flaw. We just need more discipline, stronger willpower, the proper daily routine, the better productivity stack, the better planner, a mystery supplement or diet change, a deeper understanding of flow science, and on and on and on.

This is true even if you were identified as gifted during childhood and given specialized education or access to premium learning organizations.

In fact, for many such children, this may have actually exacerbated the issue, based on my many years of experience with others like us.

Commonly, I see people who have done an incredible amount of personal work and have developed a highly resilient and intentionally positive approach to life, and even achieved incredible "success" by mainstream definitions. 

This makes them even more sure they are just one tweak away from FINALLY getting things where they want them.

AND THEY ARE.

But you can be three feet from gold, digging madly, and that can go on for years if your digging is NOT DIRECTIONALLY ACCURATE.

"How do you help, Melanie?"

It’s best to think of me like a highly specialized wilderness trail guide.

And the wilderness we are exploring is you.

I'll show you where the best trails are; these are almost always the most hidden ones as well.

I’ll teach you how to navigate the thickets without getting cut up by the brambly thorns.

I’ll guide you onto and down the most secret paths through the woods that suddenly open up to the most jaw-dropping overlooks showcasing the vast landscape that you are.

You are the wild terrain, the undiscovered country, the final frontier your heart has been craving so deeply for your entire life.

You are the beautiful, living forest and meadow and river and mountain and ocean simply waiting for your own awake awareness to visit, to learn, to know, to love, and to tend to with sustainable capacity as you bloom into your unique chosen and intentional magnificence of the living artistry and unique joy that is your outlier brain.

Yep. ALLL of that. For real.

"Ok, that’s amazing but, actually, how do you help?" 🤣

I help in two different ways: 1) through prepared resources you journey with on your own, and 2) through live work together:

1) I share written and audio resources:

These are the fastest and least expensive methods (for you! They take a LOT of time and care from me!) for me to give you the best of my best.

You would start with "Fundamentals of the Highly Gifted Brain" which is a pure diamond! 

It provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding your highly gifted brain and how to optimize your life as a result of its unique characteristics.

It distills down my decades of work and tens of thousands of hours of direct support to people with this outlier brain type who make up less than 2% of the population and have very different needs than others.

Inside, you will find both audio and written versions of the materials, along with bonus material only available here.

We have a community feed inside as well, for those who would like to connect with other outlier brain types or ask questions. You can also message me directly.

2) I also work privately 1:1 and in small groups with others like us.

You can scroll down further to see the options available for live work with me.

"Why do you do this, Melanie?

I do it for many reasons. The biggest of these are:

1: the off the charts personal satisfaction I feel when I see the impact of this work on another outlier human like me.

I KNOW that their trajectory is now radically improved, regardless of how amazing it already appeared.

2: I also have a global paradigm shifting big "WHY," best described as the restoration of joy to the planet. 

I firmly believe the outliers will play a massive role in this work. But they must each first be restored of their own authentic joy.

The below writing and imagery best unpacks this for me.

(The combination of visual and written words are crucial for my own creative work to feel accurate to me and therefore be satisfying and enriching. Have you discovered any similar quirks in your own creation process?)

The world needs YOU.

The world needs the unique point of view that you can only share by properly embodying your true self at last. 

Despite it all. 

Despite the ill-fitting social norms. 

Despite the trauma. 

Despite the millions of  “NOs” shouted from the outside or, worse, inside.
