✨ Not every business story starts with a smooth road. Some are born out of survival. This is the origin story I haven’t told yet…
Hi, I’m Melody. Serial creative, mom, and entrepreneur. I always dreamed of being able to do all the things I love for a living: video, photo, music, web design—I just didn’t know the road to get there would be this one.
MJ Media Productions was created in one of the hardest seasons of my life. I had just endured narcissistic and spiritual abuse, was navigating C-PTSD, and I needed something that could provide for me and my daughter while giving me the flexibility to heal.
So I took what I had—my skills, my creativity, my determination—and poured every ounce of pain, anger, and heartbreak into building something. MJ Media wasn’t just a business; it became my lifeline and my outlet. Every project, every shoot, every design was a way to turn hurt into healing, pain into passion, survival into empowerment.
It hasn’t been an easy or “pretty” journey. But grit is part of my story. And over time, the work that began as a way to get back on my feet has grown into a business I deeply love—helping other entrepreneurs and businesses tell their stories through video, photography, and design.
Some dreams are born from comfort. Others, like mine, rise out of fire. 🔥 And sometimes, that’s where the most powerful stories begin. So if you’re going through it right now, and you’re sitting on a dream waiting until after the storm passes—just start. Start with what you have and take small steps forward. Maybe this storm is exactly the push you need to go after what you really want.
💛 Welcome to my corner of the internet if you’re new here, and thank you for sticking around if you’ve been with me a while. Be sure to follow along—I’d love to share more of this journey with you, and hopefully work with you! For all things website design, business photo & video, and even live music (peep the song on this post 👀), I’m your gal. 🤝
