Today we’d like to introduce you to Melody Trice.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Melody. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’m a native of Century Florida, very small town. Grow up and was told I would never be nothing and that I was ugly and I was a nobody. I was voted by students and the teachers to be the less likely to succeed. But, I had one teacher that believes in me and said you are going to be something and honestly, all I needed was that one person to have faith in me.

After graduated from high school, I moved to Alabama, there I got my licenses to do hair. I loved making women see themselves as beautiful. And to be apart of that process, made me feel good to be apart of the process. I felt like I was a builder, building their confidence of who they were. Also, fresh out of in got married, and had a beautiful son. My motivation throughout the last 21 years. That marriage ended with me fleeing for my life, I was in a very abusive relationship both verbal and physical. It was a very low place. But I use all that as energy, I said to myself you gotta keep going. I develop a powerful relationship with God and learn who I was and the power I have, and I realize I was unlimited. I soon open my own beauty salon and supply and become the #1 small business in six counties. I was very active in my church and community.

Fast forward, I knew there was more, more to life than where I was. I begin to prayer more, seeking for answers, and the answer was to move to California. I believe God told me to sell all I have by faith and move to California, and I did. I came to California with nothing but the clothes on my back. And prayerfully every step I made, I was lead by God. And that’s how my life became totally Unlimited. Moving to California, I saw all walks of life, doors that was waiting for me to walk in and opportunities that was beyond my wildest dream. And, I said you mean all this is for me. So I took advantage of the opportunities but first, I prayed and it was like God himself said what are you good at, I said talking. Because see I didn’t want to waste a lot of time trying to figure out my purpose here. I knew I was good at talking, and I said how can I make a mark in an ocean when I’m a tadpole. Because remember back in Alabama, I became a shark in a pond. But, now in California, I’m a tadpole in an ocean. I remember God saying to me, how did you do it in Alabama, what did you do, do the same here.

So I started my business. Expect now the building is me, and my customers were my guest. And the world was my audience. That’s how The Melody Trice Show happen. That’s the short version. I also am a Model and an actress and a public speaker, I told you I’m unlimited. Each category has a specific story to its self. The modeling was my confidence builder, because of all the bullying and told I was ugly, it helped me gain confidence in myself, and that also help me on camera. The acting helped me tell stories, escape from the moment, into another moment. Therefore I was able to do the same for my viewing audience. And speaking, aww how I love love to speak in front of a crowd and see their reactions and here later how what I said touch them and moved them to change.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
My journey has had many challenges. I would say the biggest one was holding on my old mindset. Not having allowing myself to adapt to a new way of living cause me a lot of money, time, heartache, and I develop fear. Because all the thoughts to be successful starts in your mind. See remember when I left Alabama, I had sold everything, so I didn’t come to California broke, but, things didn’t work as I thought, I kept the old mindset of how things worked in Alabama and it causes me miss opportunity, and miss manages money and time. The way things worked there didn’t work here. I was in four car accidents sense being here, one slip and fall. All because I had the old mindset. I honestly thought people was courteous on the highway, soon to find out no, lol. I didn’t know I needed to leave early because of the traffic so that I will be on time, so I miss great opportunities, all because I was late. I judge a lot of people and things because of my own limited belief and it limited me too what I could do.

That’s why my motto is Unlimited life with Melody Trice. Because if you don’t change your mind, you will always be limited. I had a certain way I lived for years, and because it worked for me there in Alabama, I thought it would work here. Because I love people, I took so much to heart. Like in the south you speak to everyone. Here in California, you don’t. So I got offended a lot. So I stayed to myself and didn’t open myself to friends, because of the few that hurt me, at really no fault. That’s how things were here, but because of my old mindset, it limited me, and had me hostage to myself. I was limited because of me, my mindset. So then I develop bad habitats, eating habitats that made me gain a lot of weight. Food became my friend, my boyfriend, it became my everything. And it caused me a lot of harm, to my body, and the opportunity to open myself up to new people. But with the weight gain, put me in a position to lose recently up to 70 lbs and was able to share that journey on The Steve Harvey Show and Dish Nation LA. My weight loss story is a story all by itself. So those are a few that I believe is the most challenging time of my transition.

Please tell us about The Melody Trice Show.
Lol, I laugh because I’m Unlimited! But, no seriously I’m a talkshow host, I share other stories to inspire and motivate others to live there like Unlimited. I believe I’m known for how people leave me, inspire, because no matter who you are, I’m always going to keep it 100% real. And, that’s what I love about my show and myself. My sole purpose of my show is to do just that. I want others to feel empowered and they do, even my guest, see a change when they leave my set. So I set the tone for my show, from the crew to the guest. So we all know our mission is empowered others through us and our story because we may be the storyteller but the person reading it is the person who life we will change, and I want them to know they are just as important and can accomplish just as much as me.

What sets me apart is me being me. I’m love and I will always show love to all I meet. I will always empower them to be the best version of themselves. To love themselves and not allow them or no one else take their power for living their best life! I’m proud of my show because it proves all I say to be true. Because my life is the example of everything I do and say!

My smile and magnetic energy will make your day! Because we’re Unlimited!

Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
Everyone deserves credits the bad and the good! They all made me who I am today! Those students and teachers who said I’ll be nothing, push me to become who I am today. My mom and godmother, God rest their soul, said if I don’t quit I can accomplish anything and always told me they love me and that I was a beautiful chocolate girl even when I didn’t believe I was. My son, Chavon, when I wanted to quit and so many times I did want to quit but I knew I had a little one depending on me, looking for me and someone to love and guide him, so he was my motivation. My family, my friends, my church family, my crew, omg I couldn’t film my show without them. The stations that my show air from locally all over southern California, thank you to all of them. Thank you to all the publicists who gave me a chance to cover their event. To people believing in me and giving me a chance to occupy space in their life and bring some joy! I’m just grateful for everyone and most of all, I couldn’t do anything without God. Thank you Jesus!
