Meet Vanessa

Vanessa Jupe founded 101 Ways Out to explore how people create meaningful change in their lives. Through weekly conversations with inspiring guests, she uncovers the mindsets and moments that lead to transformation. Her favorite part is connecting with people and helping others reconnect with what truly lights them up.

Featured Guest: Mike Messeroff

A man and a dog on a snowy trail in a forest of pine trees during winter. The man is looking down at the dog.

Mike once felt trapped in constant hustle, so he chose a different path. He pressed pause, leaned into presence, and asked himself what it would take to truly live instead of just survive. That decision became the first step toward creating a life built on clarity, joy, and meaning. Today, he helps others do the same through his work as a personal freedom coach and speaker.

“Helping people slow down long enough to hear themselves again. When they rediscover what really matters, that’s everything to me.”

Your 30-Day Way Out journey includes a short daily video and guided assignment delivered straight to your inbox, helping you reset your mindset, clarify your vision, and take inspired action each day.

Coming in January

Days 1-7: Mindset Shift

Start with the inner work. Each day focuses on awareness, belief, and alignment through reflection, somatic check-ins, and simple mindset shifts. You’ll learn to reconnect with your intuition and move from autopilot to intention.

Days 8–14: Vision + Discovery

Define what truly matters to you. Through daily videos and short practices, you’ll identify your core values, map out the moments that shaped you, and begin crafting a clear vision for the life you want to create.

Days 15–21: Strategic Action

Bring your vision to life. Each day offers focused prompts and small steps to turn insight into progress. You’ll experiment, take bold but manageable action, and start building lasting momentum toward meaningful change.

Melissa Wilthorn

From VP at an Atlanta Agency to Independent Creative Director living the expat life in Portugal

A woman holding hands with two children, one on each side, walking on a cobblestone street in a European town.

After 15 years of climbing the corporate ladder as a creative director, Melissa Withorn realized that success wasn’t the unlock to happiness she’d been promised. Burnt out and longing for freedom, she and her husband sold nearly everything and moved to Portugal sight unseen. A year in, they have built a new life and business around joy, creativity, and courage.

“You cannot think your way out of indecision. You can’t, you cannot… Nothing can replace just getting out there, picking a thing and trying it and then seeing how your body responds.”

Anne Pao

From Revenue Ops Executive to Fractional CRO in the Bay Area

Woman with long dark hair dancing or moving, wearing a white sleeveless top and black pants, against a plain white wall.

Anne Pao left corporate after a retaliatory experience at a VC-backed unicorn. She’s built her own practice and now earns more while working fewer, saner hours. A mom of two, she’s values-driven, community-minded, and unapologetically designs her work around her lust for freedom.

“Two days after it happened, I sat down at my desk, I dried my tears, and I was like, all right, enough of that. Let's start charting the course for what will be my future. And I didn't know what that future was going to be. So no joke, I still have the spreadsheet. I named it Rising from the Redundancy Ashes Like a Phoenix.”
