Sponsor Break: Pure Genius Protein
At 15:21 · chapter starts 12:00
Mel pauses the conversation to share a deeply personal sponsor segment — her ongoing struggle to hit the 100 grams of daily protein her doctor recommends. She describes discovering a 23-gram protein shot as a game-changer and reveals she joined the company as a co-founder. Pure Genius Protein is positioned as gluten-free, sugar-free, fat-free, 100 calories per shot, and under $3 a serving. Listeners receive 10% off their first order at puregeniusprotein.com with code MEL10. The segment is notably first-person and authentic in tone.

Closets are 'landmine' spaces full of emotional triggers like body image and money regret; start elsewhere to build confidence first.
