empowering women in business - no gimmicks, no gurus
Hi, I’m Melissa Snow
I built my business the same way I built my life – one real relationship and one bold decision at a time.
I’m equal parts strategist, coach, and hype-woman – without the cookie-cutter formulas, burnout culture or forced positivity. I’m a certified relationship coach, a podcast host, a crazy cat lady and a die-hard Swiftie.
I’ve grown three successful businesses, coached hundreds of women, and learned firsthand that the fastest, most sustainable way to grow is through real relationships and smart strategy (not another overpriced course you’ll never finish).
I help women grow profitable businesses by showing them how to cut through the noise, get clear on what actually works, and move forward without burning out, selling out or wasting time. No gimmicks. No ego. Just strategy, support, and a whole lot of clarity.
You don’t need a $10K mastermind to get results. You need good people, the right strategy, and real support from someone who’s been there and knows what it takes to build a business that feels like you – profitable, sustainable, and rooted in authenticity.

why relationships are the best business strategy
Let Me Show You What Actually Works...
You’re smart, driven, and doing everything you’ve been told to do – but the results still aren’t matching the effort (not to mention the money you’ve spent).
That’s not a failure on your part.
It just means you’re missing the one thing most people overlook: genuine relationships that support your growth.
I’ve built three successful businesses, coached hundreds of women, and helped entrepreneurs grow – not by doing more, but by surrounding themselves with the right people.
As the Founder of Powerful Women Rising, I teach a different kind of networking: strategic, genuine, and rooted in connection that drives real results. Whether I’m speaking on stage, leading workshops, or hosting virtual events, my mission is the same – to help women stop spinning their wheels and start building aligned partnerships that lead to clarity, confidence, and business growth.
