    Oh my gosh this is exactly what I needed today. 56 years old and am having to enter the workforce again… worried I’m too old and nobody will hire me 😢. Well damnit , I’m young! I look young and have life in me. I’m doing it!! Thanks Mel

      Yup go girl! You have soft skills(people skills) that the young missed out on! You have intrinsic value in the workplace! It'll boost your personal confidence, your ability to do the other things in life that you want to do!!!! Get out there and give yourself too the world!!!!❤. According to Pam Gregory, Astrologer, "Your Abundance is directly linked to the Frequency of Your Heart."

    You're speaking to my soul, my spirit has been screaming this at me for so long. I pulled out what I thought was a brand new blank journal today and I find one sentence written inside "Change doesn't happen to you, it happens because of you." I'm ready to finally live my life 💘

    Well, Mel, YOU MADE IT BECAUSE OF YOU! You're the one who hung in there in spite of the negativity in the beginning and the "crickets,"
    YOU DID IT!
    AND THANK YOU FOR THAT,
    Because you're so inspiring, not only to me but obviously a lot of women and people out there. Keep being your true self yourrocking it! , And thank you for all your videos.. I enjoy each and every one of them.

      We are all here with Mel, to help save your life! I am praying for you and will be here if you need to reach out. Trauma is tough. I heat you. What you do have is it deep inside to pull through. Let that flame burn bright, you deserve to be happy! Write down those dream (5dreams) Mel will be beside you! What do you want??? Decided, start and don’t look back. Your health, your life is worth so much more than the trauma. Use that trauma, to say my will is stronger than my setback. Again I know nothing about your trauma, all I know is it is real. When you are ready to heal, you will know. It will feel scary almost like you can’t do it. But girl you can. You can beat ANYTHING, if you believe in YOURSELF 💛❣️

    Only one thing that I find confusing lately with your videos...that many are now put together from different cuttings...as I listened before most of them . I found bit confusing the different cuts...sometimes I got really into one setting only then it changes to something else...then it becomes a repeat from an other episode.Would be great if somehow there is linking between mentioned...I wanted to mentioned for awhile...I do not have a podcast, just a long time listener...dont know much about it but just wanted to give you a feedback...
    I think ( and know) that you are awesome and the most REAL person in this fake world...
    sending you love ❤🌷🦋🌞🌏

My interest are surface level meaning I like something a lot for like 2 seconds then it’s just annoying or more of a burden. I did like being a personal shopper but I didn’t make much.

      The one thing that peeves me off more than anything else is when I hear ( and I do hear this in my line of work a lot ) - I'm a single parent..
      And that excuse is used a lot and I can never say anything and I just have to listen to more of the excuses that follow after I'm a single parent.
      I was also a single parent for 30 years there were days where I was looking in between my car seats for coin in hope of putting together enough for a loaf of bread til pay day. Pay day from working 2 jobs. I know what lack of energy is like..
      When your kids get sick its usually all of them not just one and then you get sick as well.
      You get up and you do it cause you have no other choice. If you want something badly enough you will find a way to make it work and stop making excuses.

      You still have choices Sis. Read and focus on meditation and looking beyond this world 3d views is very depressing and draining! The last thing you need is other people negative advice Start with raising your vibration videos when your stressed. Focus on what you want even when that is not what you’re seeing in front of you right now! Raise your frequency and you got this no matter what you current circumstances are!!!! Stop listening to the negative brain and focus on your higherself! This what saved me and listening to Mel❤

      @Karenconstantine334 Karen my sister, ❤️ 😊I am so sorry. I understand your situation and I feel your pain. There's also grief in there because of knowing that you should have a helper and you don't have one. It's a grief that person is not there. I hope you have people or family to help you. But if not, get up every day and think about how you can simplify your day. The simpler your life is, the easier you will be able to cope. If you can cut things out, do it. If you can cook in the Crock-Pot all night, do it. Even if it is only chicken soup or black beans and rice. Nothing smells better than beans or a chicken in the crock-pot. And that itself will improve your mood. If you can take the kids to the local church every Sunday morning and drop them off for Sunday School and church, do it. If they are too young to drop them off, ask the church to have someone meet you at the front door and get them out of the car and take them in for you. I guarantee any church will do that for you. Then go have 2 hours to yourself at home. If the church tries to talk you into staying, just explain. If they don't understand, choose the next Church down the street. I love you sister and I'm sorry but know that this time that your children are small will actually seem short later on. A good idea is to have a picnic with your kids every week. At the local park. Even if the weather is cold, try to do it. Have the kids make their own food for the picnic. That will help you out. If you need any more encouragement or help, feel free to call me.
