Birthday Overcompensation Story
- Mel described feeling mother-guilt after missing her daughter's birthday and overcompensating with a big pamper party.
- She hosted ten girls for manicures, face masks, glitter, tattoos and karaoke to make up for earlier absences.

- Mel Schilling says you can recognise and replace those scripts by 'changing the station'.
