You may recognize Melly Paxson as the fairy godmother from Disney’s Descendants — but in this episode of Under the Oaks, we get to know the woman behind the role.
Melly joins us for a heartfelt, down-to-earth conversation about leaving Los Angeles during the pandemic and moving to Charleston without ever visiting first. What started as a leap of faith became a life-changing reset for her family, her faith, and her sense of home.
With honesty and humor, she shares about navigating Hollywood as a woman of faith, walking through infertility, and choosing sobriety on Christmas Eve 2020. Her story is a reminder that transformation doesn’t always come with fireworks sometimes it begins with one quiet, brave decision.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Moving to Charleston sight unseen and why it felt like coming home
- Rethinking what alcoholism can look like and choosing freedom
- Motherhood, infertility, and embracing the unexpected
- Her love of interior design (including dreams of a muted pink house)
- A few fun behind-the-scenes moments from Descendants
This conversation is warm, real, and deeply encouraging, the kind that feels like sitting with a friend who’s willing to share the whole story.
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to quietly change your life from the inside out, this episode is for you.
