About the Author

Melissa Ambrosini is the bestselling author of Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, and the Audible Original PurposeFULL. Described as a ""Self-Help Guru"" by Elle Magazine, she is a speaker, self-love teacher and entrepreneur. She's also the host of the top-rated podcast The Melissa Ambrosini Show, where she shares her wisdom and interviews world-class performers and experts from around the globe including Jay Shetty, Gabby Bernstein, Anthony William, Seth Godin, Wim Hof, Bruce Lipton, John Gray, Erin Brokovich and Jack Canfield.

Melissa is uniquely positioned to blow the lid off the toxic disease of comparisonitis, having worked extensively in industries where comparison culture is not only rampant, but openly encouraged--including a decade treading the boards as a successful actor, model and dancer (including a year-long stint performing at the Moulin Rouge in Paris), before ""accidentally"" becoming a social media influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers. Melissa is married to a rockstar (literally), and currently lives in Australia with her husband Nick Broadhurst, bonus son, and baby in her belly.
