The Heart of Entrepreneurship: Melissa Bernstein on Turning Darkness into Creativity and Joy EP 136
In this episode of HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with entrepreneur, author, and Melissa & Doug Toys co-founder Melissa Bernstein for a deeply honest conversation about meaning, creativity, and reinvention. Melissa shares the surprising story behind building one of the most beloved toy brands in the world, the painful journey of letting that company go, and how that experience led her to create Lifelines, a new company focused on sensory and creative tools for wellbeing. Together, Nancy and Melissa explore why creativity is essential to our mental health, how entrepreneurship often begins with uncertainty, and why using our hands to create may be more important now than ever.
