Welcome to Nova Core
The Heartbeat of The Nova
Whether you’re joining from across the country or sitting in a local circle, Core is your anchor. It’s where every member belongs, local or global and where we gather weekly for live calls, curated workshops, and meaningful connection.
Inside Core, you’ll find:
Our private app and member portal
Weekly virtual soul calls
Monthly workshops and connection circles
Opportunities to lead, teach, or be matched with collaborators
A consistent rhythm of support to grow your business and your leadership without burnout
If you’re not near a local constellation, Core gives you full access to everything Nova offers. If you are in a local chapter, Core keeps you connected to the broader movement so you’re never doing this alone.
This is your home base for belonging, clarity, and growth.
Start here. Stay connected here. Grow from here.

Today, I find myself in deeper community and deeper relationship with women than I ever have in my life. And the beautiful thing about that? Whether I’m actually in a room with them or I’m totally alone, the strength of those bonds is with me. So, I can be my fully weird, completely intense, beautifully unique self whether I’m totally alone or fully surrounded. There I am. Being me, no matter what the circumstance.

It’s incredible how this community has helped me take brave steps in my life and business. I’ve known for a while how I wanted to show up in the world, but I realized I didn’t have the right support network to hold me in that level of visibility and vulnerability. I knew I needed a community that could help me step into a new level of authenticity and success—a place where I could truly be seen, even in my most vulnerable moments.

Being part of The Nova has ignited my confidence. Knowing that I’m not alone, surrounded by wonderful humans creating big things, fuels my courage to talk with strangers and build new relationships. The Nova community is such a powerful space.

Your Core Leader:
Melissa Bauknight
I’m Melissa, though my friends call me Mo.
Business mentor. Community weaver. Soul-led strategist.
I’ve spent over a decade not just reclaiming myself but integrating everything I once separated: the high achiever, the soul seeker, the woman, the leader, the mother.
From pelvic floor trauma to a spiritual awakening, my body led me into a new model of success, one that nourishes the soul, honors the feminine, and rises with truth.
Today, I guide women who are ready to go beyond what they were taught to want and into what they’re truly here to build.
This is the work of becoming.
It’s what I live. It’s what I lead.
And it’s what I invite you into, right here.

Our Members: Women Who Inspire
Nova Core is filled with Unboxed Women – ambitious, soul-led leaders breaking the old rules of work, connection, and belonging.
You’ll find:
The Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur:
Coaches, consultants, healers, creatives, and founders who want full-spectrum growth, soul-honoring strategy, and sisterhood that actually supports their next leap.The Bridge-Builder:
Women inside organizations who see beyond the status quo – leading, teaching, or innovating from within. She might have a side business, a vision, or just a hunch that she’s meant for more.
Both have outgrown old definitions of “success.”
They want resonance, not approval – true partnership instead of performance. They’re here to lead, connect, and rise in a space that celebrates their full power.
If you’re done performing, done shrinking, and ready to build what’s next on your own terms, you belong here.
