Reminder 6: Growth requires goodbyes

This episode is about taking your power back and giving yourself the credit you deserve. 

Everyone needs a friend who reminds you who you really are. Today, Mel is that friend. 

In this episode, Mel shares 7 powerful things to remind yourself every day. These carefully chosen sentences pull you back into your strength, your courage, and your confidence. 

They are the words you need to hear that activate the most capable version of you. 

This episode will help you: 

-Reclaim your power when you’ve been playing small or second-guessing yourself 

-Set boundaries that protect your energy without guilt 

-Stop letting other people’s moods, opinions, or expectations dictate your day 

-Get out of comparison and focus on your own progress 

-Let go of what’s draining you and refocus on what actually matters 

-Move forward with more clarity, confidence, and intention 

These powerful reminders are paired with the science behind why they work, so you’re not just inspired in the moment, but so you understand how to make changes that last. 

Mel reminds you what you need to hear most: you are not powerless. 

This episode is not about fixing what is wrong with you. You are not broken. It’s about remembering who you are and how capable you’ve always been.

You’ll walk away feeling more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself. 

Hit play when you want to feel clear, steady, and back in charge.
