Episode notes
This episode will help you hit reset on the rest of your year and make your life feel like yours again.
In today’s personal solo episode, Mel will help you pause, reconnect with yourself, and ask you two powerful questions that can change how you experience the rest of the year.
Because somehow, the year is already almost halfway over. And if you’re like most people, you’ve been moving so fast that you haven’t stopped to recognize the hard things you’ve gotten through and the progress you’ve made.
If you’ve felt like:
…your life feels like one long to-do list
…you’re tired, flat, or stuck in the same routine
…you need something to look forward to, but don’t even know what that is anymore
This episode is your mid-year reset.
It’s also a hilarious and intimate catch-up with Mel after 56 days on tour. She answers these questions alongside you and shares never-before-heard, behind-the-scenes stories from the road.
Then Mel walks you through two simple questions that will help you pause, take stock of your life, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have forgotten:
These questions force you to stop and give yourself credit for the hard things you got through and the ways you keep showing up even when nobody sees it.
They also remind you that life is not just about work, bills, errands, caregiving, laundry, and getting through the day.
Life is meant to be lived.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
- Stop measuring your life only by what you haven’t done
- Give yourself credit for the progress you keep overlooking
- Recognize the hard things you’ve already made it through
- Break out of autopilot and the same old routine
- Understand why having something to look forward to matters so much
- Create more energy, novelty, anticipation, and joy
- Put something on the calendar that gives your mind somewhere good to go
This episode will help you stop, take a breath, give yourself credit, and create something to look forward to - because if you change nothing, nothing changes.
