This episode is a full-circle moment for me.

Earlier this week, I opened an email that said my podcast officially hit 10 million downloads… and I honestly had to reread it twice. There were so many moments over the years where I considered stopping, moments where consistency felt hard, momentum felt slow, and I questioned if this was even worth continuing.

I’m so grateful I didn’t quit.

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 lessons I’ve learned from reaching 10 million downloads, lessons that apply not just to podcasting, but to building a business, growing a brand, leading people, and staying committed to the long game.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a podcast, launching something new, or you’re in the messy middle wondering if your work even matters… this one is for you.

You will learn about:

• Why imperfect action will always beat waiting for perfect timing
• How I launched my podcast before podcasting was “a thing”
• Why consistency matters more than talent or strategy
• The mistake most people make when over-planning content
• How podcasting became a powerful way to build trust, authority, and alignment
• Why this is a long-game platform (and what to expect early on)
• The real role reviews, ratings, and engagement play in growth
• How to use your stats to guide future content
• Guests vs. solo episodes — and how I decide
• Why having fun is essential if you want longevity

To celebrate this milestone, I’m giving away one of my Momentum Planners!

Here’s how to enter:

1. Take a screenshot while listening to this episode
2. Tag me on Instagram @TheMelanieMitroShow
3. Let me know you’re listening to the 10 Million Downloads episode by posting and tagging me on your stories!

I’ll be picking the winner LIVE on January 30th, and I’ll also announce it on the podcast in February.

In this episode of The Melanie Mitro Show, I’m diving into what it actually takes to reset your business in January without burning out, starting over, or trying to do all the things at once.

The beginning of a new year can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re in direct sales or network marketing, and you’re juggling big goals, pressure to perform, and the noise of everyone else’s strategies. In this episode, I’m breaking it down and sharing how to simplify your focus so you can create real momentum.

We’re talking about the three foundations that drive sustainable success:
✔️ Structure — having a plan you can realistically follow
✔️ Community — staying close to the fire instead of building in isolation
✔️ A clear way forward — knowing what actually matters and letting go of what doesn’t

I’m also sharing:

• Why focusing on one income-producing activity at a time changes everything
• Why imperfect action beats waiting for the “perfect” plan
• What I witnessed this past weekend being surrounded by aligned, high-level leaders
• Why in-person connection still matters in today’s online world
• Why I created the Method Planner and how it supports intentional, grounded growth

If you’re feeling behind, scattered, overwhelmed, or unsure where to focus in your business right now, this episode will help you reset with confidence, recommit in a way that feels sustainable, and build momentum that actually lasts.

This isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things, consistently, with purpose.

The 12 Week Year

Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

In this weeks episode of The Melanie Mitro Show, I’m diving into what it really means to start the new year with intention, when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and how you manage your time. I share my personal journey through burnout and how hitting that breaking point forced me to rethink my habits, my routines, and the way I was showing up in both life and business.

One of the biggest game-changers for me, and the heart of this episode, is my new resource; the Method Planner.

This isn’t just a planner; it’s the exact system I use to organize my life, protect my energy, and stay aligned with my priorities as an entrepreneur, mom, and human who refuses to live in constant overwhelm. I walk you through why I created it and how it helps turn big goals into clear, doable action steps.

We talk about the power of setting intentional annual and monthly goals, checking in with yourself often, and giving yourself permission to adjust as you grow. This episode is all about creating structure without burnout, momentum without pressure, and a plan that actually supports the life you’re building, not one that runs you into the ground.
