Get the momentum you need to make progress on your project in a way that actually works for you.
A 6-week guided program to move your project forward with a way of working that works with your system.
You've tried moving your project forward on your own, with different systems, by pushing harder, and it's still not moving.
The Unstuck Lab is where that changes: your project moves forward one step at a time, alongside others doing the same, while you find a way of working that works with you, not against you.
I know what it feels like to start doubting yourself.
To feel like you're just not good enough — not disciplined enough, not focused enough.
And so you push harder — because that's the only way you know.
For many of us, that approach is not just hard — it's counterproductive.
What we actually need are the right conditions to make progress in our project.
That is why I created the Unstuck Lab — a place where your project starts moving again, one step after another, and keeps you moving long after.
What’s the Unstuck Lab?
A space where your project moves forward again.
Each week you take one step on it, in a live online session with others doing the same, and you learn and try out what helps you keep going.
By the end, your project has moved, and you know what works for you when you feel stuck again.
In the Unstuck Lab, you get to:
Make progress on your project
Find focus and start moving forward by using the structure, support, and tools provided in the Lab. Every week you choose your next step and take it, in sessions built for doing the work. You see your project move, and the motivation follows.
Find out what works for you when you get stuck
You try different approaches (through practices) on your own project and keep the ones that help. So when overwhelm or avoidance comes back, you already know what to do.
Here's how it works:
Bring your project — Come with the project you want to move forward.
Use the framework, week by week — Each week you get a new step and new resources for dealing with feeling stuck, and you try them on your project in live co-working sessions. One week is yours to catch up.
Work alongside others — Spend the online sessions with people who understand the struggle, and keep each other going.
Each week, we focus on one step of the Unstuck Lab Framework.
You'll receive self-paced materials during the week, then join a 2-hour online live session to discuss and work on your project.
-
You'll start to see what keeps you circling — and how it plays out in your work.
-
We'll look at why action is key, and practice small strategies to get you moving with less effort.
-
You'll understand how your nervous system works — and how to pursue your goal in a way that feels safe.
-
This week is yours — catch up at your own pace and meet with someone in the group for a listening conversation.
-
You'll look at why your environment shapes your work — and start designing the conditions that help you move with less effort.
-
You'll revisit your takeaways and toolkit — and decide what to integrate and in what way.
Who is it for?
For everyone building something of their own: freelance work, an initiative, a side project they want to grow. Especially the one that keeps not moving.
If you keep ending up in one of these loops:
Overwhelm — you struggle to take the first steps and feel exhausted before you even begin.
The thinking loop — you spend more time thinking about the work than actually doing it.
The push and the crash — you force yourself to get things done, only to end up burnt out and back at square one.
Spinning wheels — after months of "doing things," you realize the project still hasn't moved forward.
“In general, I was a bit skeptical at first, cause I usually don’t enjoy workshops but the group that we formed and mostly Mel’s guidance was really insightful and helpful. She gathered lots of knowledge from both both personal development and project management, and each meeting really took us all a step forward and motivated us!”

What an online session feels like
Hour 1 — Getting together
Sharing, reflection and practices — journaling, breathwork, movement, or active listening.
Hour 2 — Working on your project
You apply what you explored directly to your project, in an environment built around what actually works (learning by doing).
"Your brain is actually overjoyed when it is put in these clear yet friendly conditions." — Anastasia

What People Are Saying

“Mel is an incredibly gifted coordinator that demonstrates a clear passion in guiding her participants to reach insights on their own accord, through well delineated signposts of what it looks and feels like to challenge resistance, registering emotion in the body, and allowing oneself to explore alternative means of getting ‘unstuck’.”

How do you describe something that you didn't even realise you needed in your life, but once you have participated you realise you needed to do this from the very beginning?
I not only learnt so many amazing tips and tricks but I learnt the human side of resistance and fear and how we all experience it in one way or another, what we can do to move through the fear and resistance, how we can work with others to figure out what exactly our fear and resistance looks like because it really is different for everyone and then writing a list of what you want to do, holding yourself accountable to do that and see how much progress is possible in just 4 weeks is astounding.
I knew I was stuck before doing the Unstuck Lab but I didn't really know why and how and even if it was possible to get my creative flair back as I really felt it had left me but from doing this Lab, I not only found it but I've made so much progress, it's like my creative match has been re lit and I feel that it can't be blown out.
It doesn't mean I won't feel fear and resistance over and over again, but now I'll know what to look out for and what ways I can distinguish it faster and not let it take over in me and prevent me from making all my ideas come to life.
Mel has really created a gem. She noticed something in herself and others perhaps that was the human experience and has created something to stop it from overpowering us individually and stopping us from achieving all that we are capable of.
She has done the research, is able to give us very simple ways of getting out of our own way, has included holistic therapies that really warm me up and has broken it down in a way that is easy to understand and use in our everyday life.
I'm so thankful for this Lab and will be coming back to it's teachings always. Everyone needs to do this, fear and resistance doesn't have to control us and our ideas, we can all get Unstuck!!

I worked on my personal project that I was feeling kinda resistant to take action. I have gained a more realistic approach to my attitude and noticed the necessary actions for my project were not as romantic as they are in my mind. It is interesting to be able to notice the setbacks and self-sabotage (they're everywhere). But if I don't keep taking steps there won't be results. It wasn't fun noticing that! My main takeaway was to start with the smallest step.
I found the presentations very well prepared and Mel's attitude acceptive. It felt natural to open up and share with the other participants.I’d suggest Unstuck Lab to anyone who feels lost and don't know how to keep moving again in their project.
What was your main takeaway from the Unstuck Lab?
“It is not the process I thought it was - it's longer, calmer, more immersive, slower-paced and better for it. This and all the other things i have learned started seeping in into my other projects and life in general, really helping with figuring out what I'm doing.”
