HELLO, I’M Melissa.
The voice behind Reputation Defiers. I spent much of my life falling into the trap of being who others wanted me to be and following the path that society has defined as “normal.”
I took the “safe path” right out of high school, got a college degree, and a stable career. And at the time, that was exactly what I thought I wanted. But the longer I stayed in that career, the longer I realized that the passions I had when I was a child/teen were what I really wanted to do with my life. And so from there, I decided to pursue those dreams, to step outside of the norm, and take some risks.
I was always worried about what other people would think, especially family and close friends,
Why reputation defiers was founded
In a world that tells you who you should be, what you should do, and when you should do it….Reputation Defiers is here to tell you that you are the only one who defines who you are, and you are the only one who can write your future!
Reputation Defiers was founded in 2024 as a resource for people around the world looking to overcome societal norms, reach their goals, and become the best person they can be, for them!
It is about overcoming the opinions of others about you that in the past may have held you back from becoming who YOU truely are and want to be. It is about accepting yourself, your dreams, and your goals, despite what anyone else thinks and who they may say you are supposed to be.
It is about personal growth and development….seeing yourself as your only true competition and becoming better than you were yesterday.
Do you remember the big dreams and aspirations you had as a child?
A dentist
A doctor
An astronaut
A famous singer???
At a young age, we truely believed we could be anyone or do anything.
But as we grew, we were met by the thoughts, opinions, and societal norms of the people around us.
As we got older, we were taught (intentionally or not) that going to college, getting a stable career, and starting a family was the way to go. Less risk taking, more security.
And don’t get me wrong…these things are all good. But they are not the only way to go…and they are not the only good path that you can pursue.
Sometimes to become who you truly want to be you have to take the risks, you have to go down the path that society,your friends, and even your family, see as crazy, out there, a guaranteed failure. And when you do, you never know where you may end up….you may just get the life you’ve always wanted and accomplish the goals you once thought were only a fantasy!
