Are you ready to create a year you’re obsessed with?

The Play Big Playbook is your roadmap to designing a bold, intentional, and aligned life. If you’re ready to get un-stuck, and unlock what’s next with purpose and action—you’re in the right place.

Hi! I’m Melody, an experienced creative strategist and the creator of The Play Big Playbook—the system that helps you get unstuck, dream big, and turn wishful thinking into real-world wins.

This idea didn’t come out of nowhere. In 2021, I found myself at a literal crossroads in Idaho—living solo in my self-converted camper van, overwhelmed by endless possibilities. I’d cut all my traditional anchors—no fixed home base, no traditional 9-5 job, no partner—and suddenly, I was free to do anything and be anywhere. But instead of feeling liberated, I felt stuck and completely paralyzed by the “what now?”

So, I turned to what I know best: my decade of experience helping big companies break down big challenges into actionable plans and created a system for myself. I called it The Play Big Playbook, and it changed everything.

Now, it’s here for you.

This isn’t another goal-setting tool; it’s a proven roadmap designed to help you align your life with what you truly value and love. Whether you’re chasing freedom, growth, or your next big leap, The Play Big Playbook is your tool to design your 2025 with clarity, alignment, and purpose.

Real stories, real transformations:

  • “The Play Big Playbook has truly changed the game for me"

    “It’s taken me from passively going through the motions of life to living more intentionally. It’s helped me put the goals bouncing around my brain to paper in an ACTIONABLE way and it’s been amazing to look back after a year and see how much my life has shifted since using this framework. I feel empowered to consciously create my life instead of just reacting to my environment."

    - Courtney S (Self-paced course + 1:1 Design Align session)

  • "I love The Play Big Playbook!"

    “I'm someone who has a lot of ideas and goals but struggles with getting overwhelmed and following through. The structure of this program helps me put all of my ideas into one place and make my goals feel more manageable and achievable.

    With a diverse set of activities, lots of chances to play, and ways celebrate myself—I never get bored running The Playbook. Melody is so warm and encouraging, it really helps me believe in myself and that anything is possible.”

    - Barrie C (Self-paced course, 1:1 Design Align session)

  • "Going through this process brought clarity and alignment."

    “Going through this process brought clarity and alignment to so many of my shapeless thoughts, feelings, fears, doubts and ideas of what I thought other people expected of me. Going through The Playbook and working with Melody helped me see, accept, and get excited about the bits that had always felt right.

    Beyond that, she worked with me to plot out a path that was actually doable and not just intimidating. That path guided me throughout the entire year and still continues today!”

    - Heather G (Self-paced course + 1:1 Design Align session)

  • "Each step was clear about how to begin unfolding your inner desires, generating ideas, and turning them to action—"

    “—for me, this is the real value in the course. I can intellectualize all day long about what I want to do and always end up beating myself up for not turning that last corner into action. This course kick-started a desire to feel special and move myself; and knowing I can come back to these exercises throughout the year to re-ignite the feeling is equally empowering.”

    Melody addresses you like a friend in a warm and encouraging manner that makes you confident you can step alongside her in the process. She enthusiastically helps you put one foot in front of the other on big concepts.”

    - Jessica B (1:1 Coaching with Melody)

  • "This will be an annual practice for me going forward!"

    “The Play Big Playbook has been an incredible tool to help me review my years, and plan for the next one. I've read books on leveraging design thinking for life planning, but I love that The Play Big Playbook jumps off the page—literally. It gives you tools to get in the right mind/body space for the work and gets you away from the computer and actively engaged in the process. 

    I did a 1:1 session with Melody, and it was also SUPER helpful to walk her through my findings and have her help me frame out some of the biggest themes she saw come up. This year has been aligned with my values and what brings me joy!“

    - Aisha W (Self-paced course + 1:1 Design Align session)

  • "This turned my energy into ENERGY"

    "I had one goal going into The Play Big Playbook: How might I manage my energy more intentionally? By the end, I’d not only gotten clarity on how to do that, but created a roadmap of exciting tactical action that lead directly towards my goals… and the pleasant surprise of discovering even BIGGER one I didn’t know I had peeking out over the horizon.”

    - Alexis S (1:1 Coaching with Melody)
