Private Advisory for Women Facing Major Life Decisions
When you’re navigating a pivotal decision—relationship, identity, career, or direction—I offer steady, strategic guidance so you can move forward with clarity instead of repeating the same patterns.
Who I Serve
This work is for women in midlife who are facing a decision that feels heavier because time now matters in a different way.
You may be questioning a relationship, a role, or a direction you once committed to—aware that the next choice carries more consequence, less tolerance for pretense, and a deeper need to be true to yourself.
You’re capable and self-aware. You’ve built a life, taken responsibility, and weathered change before. But this moment brings a particular weight: the desire to move forward without self-betrayal, without repeating old patterns, and without wasting the years ahead on something you already know isn’t aligned.
How I Work
I work as a private advisor, not a coach or therapist. My role is to help you think clearly while you’re inside a decision—when emotions, history, pressure, and fear can easily distort perspective.
Our work centers on real-time conversations where we examine the decision in front of you: what’s true, what’s familiar, what’s fear-driven, and what patterns are quietly influencing your choices. I reflect back what you may not be able to see from inside the situation, so you’re not making decisions based on urgency, fear, habit, or exhaustion.
This is steady, confidential support designed to help you make choices you can stand behind—without rushing, avoiding, or repeating the same loops that lead to regret.
The best way to begin is with an introductory call.
I’ll share the specifics of how I work—timeline, cadence, communication, expectations, and support—so you can determine whether this kind of private advisory relationship is what you’re looking for.
The Podcast
Confessions of a Selfish Bitch is where I speak openly about decision-making, self-betrayal, emotional truth, and the patterns women repeat when they don’t slow down long enough to listen to themselves.
The conversations are candid, grounded, and often uncomfortable — not for shock value, but because clarity usually requires honesty before relief.
If you want to get a feel for how I think, how I listen, and how I hold complexity, this is the best place to start.
Unfiltered conversations about self-trust, boundaries, and choosing yourself in midlife.
This Is Where the Work Deepens
I work privately with a small number of women who are facing a major life decision and want to approach it with clarity rather than urgency.
This is not coaching that pushes you forward before you’re ready — and it’s not therapy that circles the past without movement.
Our work is grounded, strategic, emotionally intelligent, and paced to help you think clearly, trust yourself again, and make decisions you won’t have to undo.
Why Women Work With Me
I’m Cher Meli. For over three decades, my work has lived at the intersection of discernment, human behavior, and high-stakes decision-making.
I’ve worked behind the scenes in environments where pressure is constant and choices carry real consequences — from elite hospitality and high-visibility events to intimate spaces of personal transformation. Over time, what became clear is this: most suffering comes not from a lack of action, but from action taken before clarity is fully formed.
Today, I work privately as a trusted advisor to women in midlife who are facing decisions that don’t fit neatly into categories — decisions about relationships, identity, work, family, and the shape of the life ahead.
This isn’t about reinvention for reinvention’s sake. It’s about seeing clearly, recognizing patterns you’ve lived inside of for years, and choosing what’s next with integrity rather than fear.
I bring perspective, steadiness, and an ability to hold complexity without rushing you toward an answer. Together, we create the space where truth surfaces — and decisions become simpler because they’re rooted in what’s actually right for you.
