When I picture a successful woman like Melissa whose toy empire, with her husband Doug is worth half a billion dollars, I imagine that she has the perfect life or at least something pretty close to it.  However, despite Melissa’s successful business, 28 year marriage, children, and beautiful home, she had a secret that she carried within her, it was her lifelong battle with severe depression and anxiety.

Mental health awareness is very important to me because I myself have had my own bout with anxiety and even situational depression at times throughout my life. And with depression and anxiety being at an all time high right now during this pandemic, I think stories like Melissa’s are very important to share, so I hope you all enjoy the interview.

Q&A WITH MELISSA BERNSTEIN: 

1. From the outside, your life looks perfect: you started a business from scratch, used your creativity to design toys, and made hundreds of millions of dollars doing it. You’ve been married for 28 years, have 6 kids, 2 dogs, a cat, a beautiful house. Did the fear of shattering the image others have of you make it harder for you to seek help?

 Melissa:

Anytime you open yourself up and let people see a truer you, it’s scary. But I think in many ways, the ability I have to shatter the image of outward “success” is actually a gift. On paper, I had everything you could ever want, but I was still miserable because I hadn’t accepted myself. At some point, the suffering becomes so great that you have to surrender. You have to say, I can no longer deny this despair, I have to dive in. I decided to reach out to one of my favorite podcasts, The Good Life Project, and share my story. I was terrified, but I also felt crazily, strangely empowered. After the episode aired, I received hundreds of letters saying things like ‘You spoke to me, this is exactly how I feel, you gave words to something I’ve been feeling my entire life.” I felt a lot of communion with all the people who wrote to me. I spent my entire life thinking that no one knew what I was going through, so this was really powerful. It took me 6 months, but I wrote back to every single person who wrote. It was a tremendously meaningful experience. That’s why I’ve included my personal email in every copy of this book—I want to have this conversation with anyone who wants to reach out.

 2. What has this journey been like for you? And what made you want to support people dealing with mental health challenges?

 Melissa:

For five decades of my life, I was racing outward, looking for success and validation. I was imprisoned by my own perfectionism. It was only as I got older, and the cry of my own soul to be seen and accepted got louder and louder, that I finally started my personal journey inward. It’s been the most incredible, profound experience, and I felt compelled to show others that path as well. If I could take my mental anguish and channel it in a way that gave my life meaning and made me want to get out of bed each day, then I knew deeply in my heart that others could do the same.

3. You talk in the book about the depression and anxiety you lived with even as a young child. Do you think those experiences gave you special insight as a toy designer?

Melissa:  

Being a highly sensitive person has many not-so-positive aspects, but also allows me to be very attuned to people. I channel it into my verses, where I try to take really big things that are complicated and hard to understand into something very simple. I do that with toys, too. Toys had gotten very complicated, masked in bells and whistles, and I tried to distill them and make the experience of engaging with a toy and having it captivate your imagination the most powerful thing. Our toys are very straightforward; they’re not hard to understand. I always called them ‘low skill, high impact’, so that they would quickly engage a child in the beautiful experience of play.

 4. How has your immediate family reacted to learning about the depth of your depression and anxiety?

Melissa:

This was a very deep secret that I hid from everyone, and until the dots started connecting, I didn’t even understand it myself. But when I opened up to my family about it, they were very understanding. I was worried about two of my daughters because I didn’t want them to see themselves in me and then think, “Oh, my gosh, I’m doomed.” But they were both really chill about it, which was incredibly freeing. They were like, “Okay, whatever, this is who you are…so are you going to drive me to my practice?” Nothing dramatically changed except that I could see a little more compassion in their eyes. I have many flaws as a parent, but my biggest is that I wasn’t able to fully give emotionally to my kids because I was so repressed. I gave with my actions but I never was able to express how I felt about them. And that was because my own emotional well was empty, which made it really hard to bestow that honest love on others. So I was happy that—and no excuse, I take full ownership of it—but it comforted me that my children could understand it had nothing to do with them.

5. What is your ultimate goal for LIFELINES—the book and the online hub? What does success look like for you?

Melissa: 

I want those who are in darkness to know they aren’t alone. I want those folks who are truly struggling, who feel like there’s no meaning in their lives, to know that there is a group of people—a community—that sees them and accepts them as they truly are. We want to create a community that accepts people in their totality: in their ups and their downs, their good and their bad. People say you have to love yourself before you can love others, but I think it can work the other way too. If you have a community that fully accepts you, I think you can begin to find that acceptance within yourself.

6. How will your approach be different than some others who are trying to help people in the mental health space?

Melissa:

One of the words that best describes LifeLines is “duality”. In society today, we try so hard to show only the shiny side of life and make other people believe that everything has to be perfect. But being human is imperfect. And part of self-acceptance is recognizing that fact. Striving for an ideal you can never achieve leads to utter misery. We have to realize that every day is going to have its share of failures and mistakes, and that’s okay. I admire women who are brash and confident and ready to take on the world, but that’s not who I am. I’m an introvert and sometimes we lack a voice. Despite the personal success, I’m still the kind of person who’s terrified to go to a sporting event because I don’t like social interaction. I’m the woman who’s running with toilet paper stuck to her shoe and something in her teeth. This is all I got—take it or leave it! It took me 50 years to learn that was okay.

The only promise we will give the Lifelines community is that we will show you that you are not alone. We will support you without judgment. We can’t promise answers. All we can do is show you that there is light within you if you have the openness, curiosity, and self-awareness to take the journey inward. We will support you and offer resources and tools to remain steadfast in the face of everything life throws your way.

So my first positive manifestation on my Vision/Dream Board is a picture of my family. We are happy, together, and in good health, and that is my prayer, wish, and dream that we always remain this way.

My second positive manifestation on my Vision Board is that I would love a new “Forever Home.” I would love for it to be a newer build, 4 or 5 bedrooms, with character. I dream of a beautiful all white kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, and the home in general would be very Joanna Gaines inspired.

My third positive manifestation is My Dream Kitchen. So beautiful.

My fourth positive manifestation is my dream Master Bathroom.

Next on my positive manifestation is to see my businesses thrive, after all, having a thriving career is what will make my dreams of a new home a reality. I love working in Real Estate and in Digital Content Creation with both my Blog and Podcast, my dream is to see my entire brand of Michelle Rivera Lifestyle, L.L.C really come together and take off to the next level.

Speaking of taking my career to the next level, do you know that I have always had the dream to host my own Real Estate Show on HGTV? I’ve always thought what a perfect way to merge my love of Real Estate with my love of T.V. Hosting. I have been writing a Mini-Pilot for quite some time now, so my next positive Manifestation is to shoot that Mini-Pilot and finally get it to H.G.T.V. with the continued positive Manifestation of getting my own T.V. Show on H.G.T.V. I know it seems like a HUGE DREAM to make come true, but isn’t that the point of vision boards, to manifest our biggest dreams into reality?!

Last on my Positive Manifestation Vision Board (last just for now) is to travel the world with my husband and my kids. I definitely need more travel in my life.

So now I ask my readers, do you believe in Positive Manifestation? Have any of you ever created a Vision Board to help bring your dreams into reality? Did it work for you? Comment on the blog!

As many of you know my Post-Pregnancy issues were not ideal health wise. Not only did I suffer from a massive Diastasis Recti, I also suffered from a major Ventral Hernia too. After 6 months of Physical Therapy I ended up having surgery to correct both and the 6 week recovery was not fun. You can read my whole story about that here.

Even after surgery I had weight to lose and still needed to rebuild the core muscle strength that was now lost after all of my abdominal trauma, and to this day, almost 4 years later, I still work on keeping my core muscle strength strong and healthy.

That’s why I am so excited to share with all of you AB-EZE. I really wish I had found this product before my surgery because I believe it would have helped me tremendously.

MICHELLE’S PERSONAL STORY ON WHY SHE HAS LAUNCHED ROCK BODY MOMS:

I’m so excited to share my new Healthy Lifestyle program with all of you that I’m launching with Nationally Renowned Certified Nutritionist and Fitness Expert Robert Ferguson. Our new program is called Rock Body Moms.  Rock Body Moms is designed to help moms live their healthiest and best life without dieting! The challenges that us moms face when it comes to our weight can be overwhelming to say the least. Taking care of kids, maintaining the home, running errands, while many of us are also balancing careers too, can all be very exhausting. So of course the last thing we want to do is not eat what we want to eat and be on some crazy diet. Seriously, enough is enough. LET’S STOP THE INSANITY!

The reason why I am leading this charge is to help change lives and empower you with information that will not only make weight loss easier, but give you the knowledge of nutrition that you can benefit from for a lifetime.

I, myself have had a difficult time losing weight after having two babies. After my second pregnancy I found myself with a major Ventral Hernia and a huge Diastasis recti (which is the separation of your abdominal muscles). After 6 months of Physical Therapy, the Diastasis did not correct itself. Eventually, I had to have surgery to repair both the hernia and the Diastasis, which my doctor said was one of the worst he had ever seen.

After my surgery and 6 week recovery, I was happy to have that all behind me, but I was still 40 pounds overweight and had absolutely no core muscle strength at all. That’s when I began my own health and fitness journey, but I never went on a diet. I made healthier lifestyle choices and I never deprived myself of anything. I exercised (but not insanely, honestly I hit the gym about 3 times a week, on a good week).  I lost the weight and I also restored much of my core strength too through core strengthening exercises that I did and by simply making healthier choices for myself without dieting (as I stated). I’ve never believed in going on diets. I only believe in implementing healthier lifestyle choices. There is a difference.  

When I first met Robert Ferguson, the Creator and CEO of  Diet Free Life, his program fell perfectly into my own philosophies about health and fitness, and so I’m absolutely thrilled to be working alongside his expertise. Robert Ferguson is a nationally recognized certified nutritionist; and fitness expert, as well as Nutritionist Author.

I had a blast at the Celebrity Red CARpet Safety Pre-Event with Saarah Samadani of Beauty Momme and Actress/Host Ali Landry. Saarah and Ali are The Co-Founders of the Celebrity RedCARpet Safety Event and they are advocates for child safety.

So the Pre-Event took place at Barre Belle in Los Angeles on La Brea with their amazing Founder and Instructor Marnie Alton. Marnie was so sweet and gave us the workout of our lives. As many of you know I’m very much into working out, but this was by far the BEST and most challenging workout I’ve ever had. I have never taken a barre class before and if you haven’t either then I’ll do my best to describe it to you. The class was like a combination of Dance, Cardio, and Core-Strengthening (similar to Pilates) all in one. It was upbeat and fun, but at the same time had very Zen moments of Meditation, like you would find in Yoga. I don’t know if that’s typical of most Barre Studios, but at Barre Belle it was, and I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend that you check it out. This 60 minute workout is the COMPLETE REAL DEAL. It will burn fat, increase your flexibility, raise your heart rate, and it will target your entire body. You don’t have to be a dancer to take it either and if you’ve never taken a barre class before (like I never had), don’t fret, it’s for all levels and a very friendly, fun, and non-intimidating environment. So you MUST absolutely go check it out. To schedule a class go to labarrebelle.com.

Now we were all Barre Belle working out for a good cause and that was to benefit the wonderful organization Baby2Baby, as well as raise awareness about child safety, particularly, Car-Seat Safety for children. Now this Pre-Event is leading up to the main event, which is Step2’s 7th Annual Celebrity Red CARpet Event by New Bloom Media, which also benefits Baby2Baby during September’s Child Safety Month. It takes place on Saturday, September 22^nd from 10:30am-4pm (10:30am-1pm VIP reception and 1-4pm for ticket holders). 

The Celebrity Red CARpet Event is a fun-filled, educational, inspiring and engaging event for parents and kids!  The event aims to help spread awareness about Car Seat Safety as well as other areas of safety (Activity Safety, Car Seat Safety, On-The-Go Safety, Home Safety, Body Care Safety, and Kitchen Safety) that affect parents and their precious loved ones.  New highlights this year include a new seasonal category at Step2 full of classic holiday favorites, Diono’s next generation of luxurious Rainier and Radian convertible car seats, award-winning super-compact Traverze Stroller, Carus Complete 4-in-1 Carrying System with Detachable Backpack, NEW Tableware Hero Products and a car seat that converts into a stroller.

Discover many of the best safety products for maternity, baby and toddler from national and local companies such as event sponsors Step2, Diono, Munchkin, Nuna, Cybex, UPPAbaby, Babyganics, and OXO Tot as well as a sneak peek into some of the latest innovative products yet to hit the market.  And on top of inspiring lectures, seminars and, demonstrations from renowned experts in the world of family and parenting, there will be fun activities like sensory play, arts and crafts, fun on our mini up & down roller coasters, playhouse fun, cookie decorating, indoor play and carnival games!

Tickets are around $300 for VIP Tickets (some include car seats and others include carriers) and $20 for a basic family ticket.  For additional information and tickets, visit: http://www.celebrityredcarpetevent.com/

1)Sometimes you will have more than just “a little discomfort” managed with some light dosage of pain medication.

Everyone has a different pain threshold and post-op bruising and swelling vary so certain procedures will take longer to recover from. Abdominoplasty, body lifts, and combination surgeries like “mommy makeover” are just a few examples of procedures where recovery may be extended.

Many people who have had procedures can think of a time a few days post op where they wanted to curse their surgeon or ask “why in the world did I do this?”

Just because it’s an elective aesthetic surgery doesn’t make it any less of an operation. Dr. Poulos explains that there are two very important things you want to get clear on, the actual level of pain and recovery time. Recovery time to return to ranching or running marathons may be a lot different than being able to drive or get out.  He advises speaking to a few friends or references who had the same procedure. Just remember that like childbirth as time goes by the experience may seem easier than it was.

“You need to know so you can make necessary arrangements with work and childcare or elder care if need be. Some procedures can take at least a week or two before resuming normal activity so the more realistic the expectations the better,” adds Poulos.

2) There may be more than just “minimal scarring.”

“Scarring has nothing to do with the surgeon’s skill and everything to do with the patient’s genetics,” clarifies Dr. Poulos. He goes on to explain that a highly skilled plastic surgeon can do the same exact procedure with closure on two different people. One will have minimal scarring while the other will not.” People with darker complexions should consider this before deciding to do a procedure and certainly consult with your doctor’s team who can recommend remedies that help with scarring.

3) Cellulite removal isn’t just easily “zapped away” with a laser.

Today there are many options available, each claiming to treat cellulite effectively. Some are a bit more invasive. Cellulaze, for example, is a highly promoted actual surgical procedure using an invasive laser that must be threaded under the skin. “Even though this is considered minimally invasive, it’s not an easy zap. Even with the improvement the results often will not meet expectations so be realistic.

4) There’s an expiration date on results due to the aging process.

We see celebrities who desperately battle mother nature. Aging is inevitable. The average “shelf life” of a facelift is about 10 years. “A facelift is a large financial investment along with significant recovery time. The better the skin elasticity the closer to a decade you’ll get. Odds are even better you’ll have a more enduring result if you don’t smoke or sun-worship,” says Dr. Poulos. He goes on to say that he believes it’s really important to lay out the real expectations given skin texture and volume. Some people may notice the lower quadrant of their faces aging just a few years post facelift. While a person will still look youthful post facelift, it’s not going to prevent aging.

About the Doctor:

Dr. Poulos offers weight loss procedures such as the gastric balloon that allow patients to achieve optimal health and when combined with exercise and proper nutrition, and ongoing consultation with a specialist (an option few surgeons offer before considering surgery) the results have been exceptional.

A graduate of the University of Texas Medical School, Dr. Poulos completed his internship and residency at UC San Francisco. He completed surgery and plastic surgery training in San Francisco prior to entering private practice in Marin County where he co-founded PSS (www.psspecialists.com)
