Hey Mel, I am an entrepreneur and for the past 2 years I have struggled to get it off the ground. Thank you for always offering positive self development strategies. Thank you for the message that I deserve success and happiness. I am the hero of my life!

failure is never the end of a hero's story
What you share in this podcast is what my Dad and Mom taught me when I was a young girl. Failure never existed in our vocabulary since it did not exist. If there is a will, there is ALWAYS a way, no matter how many tries are made. It is all up to your heart and mind. ❤ This life principle is timeless and priceless. There is no limit to what one can go after, no limits to wants, desires, dreams...as long as it's done with morals and values. Manifestation is real and active. ❤

I have heard Mel before, I have got all fired up and all, always wondering how she touch other’s soul in a way that they end up crying and today I have had the same feeling 😅 Thank you Mel 🙏 God bless you! Please make more content related to confidence 🙏 ❤
I love you and I believe in you and your ability to fan the flame inside of you.❤ - Mel
This is so helpful. I am in my forties and have failed at so many dreams that I don’t believe in my dreams because the disappointment has brought so much pain. Redreaming is such a great daily practise to get out of the negative mind and into the realm of possibilities.
WOW Melllll that was incredible !! Many gigantic AHasss !! Have had this business now for the last 10 years and rejection is a daily occurrence. These principles of movement, I teach transparently morph everyone's perceived limitations and abilities!! I am an advocate and living example and I care deeply because this is my unique purpose and responsibility.... I too have lived w uncoordinated disabilities and am here to authentically teaching the how to overcome perceived limitations in all activities
This just hurts. I once had dreams. I wrote them down. Several of them actually happened. And, somehow, I lost my way-I was the one who took on the brunt of caring for my mom and dad-for 18 years of my adult life. I think the constant stress of that blew me off course. And then I felt like I didn’t have any dreams anymore. Life got very, very hard. I’m older now-just angling for when I’m old enough to retire and realizing that I have to create some sort of extra income in order to pull it off. I feel like I did almost everything wrong. And then, last year, my sister-whose house is full of positive little posters and cards-“what if everything goes RIGHT?” “Today is a miracle.” “Make your dreams come true!” Not too many of her dreams ever came true. She was never even close to a middle class income. Last year, my sister who always struggled, was in a terrible car accident. Not her fault. Nothing she could have done to avoid it. She was a healthy, vital yoga instructor/massage therapist. She is now a quadriplegic on a vent, unable to use even her fingers-in an average nursing home, which is basically for anybody, a substandard living situation-losing hope every single day, because our medical system doesn’t think she is worth rehab. And I realize, looking at her, that any one of us could have our possibilities robbed of us at any moment. It makes me want to accomplish whatever it is right now. But somehow I am so, so tired of pushing, of working, of being just crushed. I need this today. I need to start writing those five things down every morning. I’m just so tired.

Wow you have a special place in heaven with God! It’s great that you had dreams but what you did taking care of your parents was a purpose in your life that God wanted you to do! Your cross in this life!

@@maryjean1615 I’m sorry Maryjean. I know you meant well by your comment. There is no spiritual sugar to coat those difficult years. Did it have its rewards? Yes. did I learn from it? Yes. I know enough not to waste pain. But no “special place in heaven with God.” Even though what I went through was stressful and time consuming, it was certainly not a “cross to bear.” A cross was a Roman instrument of torture. I don’t believe in any sadistic divinity that tortures people or allows them to be tortured. Furthermore taking care of my parents was not torture, nor was it my “purpose in life.” It was something I did because I loved my parents, but it was definitely not my purpose. I wrote down my five dreams yesterday morning, and now I’m going to do it again. I’m going to get back on track in this life, and not worry about whatever may or may not be in the next.
Mel, even though you "didn't like the machine", I'm glad it was how I got to discover you!! God Bless You Mel❣🥰😍🤩🥰😘💕💗💝💗💛
This topic is such an eye-opener for me. And I'm 58 BTW. The directional signal really resonated with me. Too late to change, sunk cost, etc = me. The dream, the directional signal is what's been missing for me. You nailed it! Here I go.
Wow did I need this. I was about to give up on my dream. But instead I finished my first book last night ❤❤❤❤

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Mel, you’re that bright light God Bless I loved listening to Howard on my way to work, and I had that same feeling listening to them ❤
Thank you soo much! I did it, I made up my mind to never renew my RN License again. Since listening to your Podcasts, I have written two books. Not only that, I’m getting ready to open an art therapy studio. Today was a big day, I submitted my sketches to paint one of the Mermaid Statues here in Weeki Wachee Florida. Wish me luck! If I win, I am going to personally invite you to my unveiling!
at a crisis in my life, I realized that I did not pursue my childhood dream just as I was slipping into a coma. I made a contract with my soul that now, I will and I fell into a coma. This was a 1 second conscious decision, at the very last moment. The very next day, I recovered completely. This is how powerful the dream is and this is how true Mel is in this podcast. Following our Dream is keeping life itself. At least for me it is. I'd LOVE to meet you Mel!!! Just incredible Force of Nature.
You are a blessing to my life and everyone who watches/listens to you. God Bless❤
A big thank you!
Thanks, Mel, I really needed this. So much gratitude your way. xo
Hey Mel! You have changed my life! I am making changes in my life beyond anything that I and all my people would have ever thought!!!!!! Thank you! I will keep you posted! ❤
I keep beating myself up thinking who will higher a 56 yr old woman with no degree. I’m married with a 15 yr old. Laid off in 2020 after 22 yrs. Lost my dad in 2022. Feeling lost. Angry. Sad. Unfulfilled and wondering what my purpose is. I’m pushing through every morning. Going back to the gym. Practicing my typing. Thank you Mel. Yep, that’s me, on a tough journey to ignite me.
Thank you for always encouraging me to be a better ME! I’ve followed you since before Covid and was telling my mom about you yesterday. What I shared with mom is that you helped me tremendously through Covid and with that I teared up. My dream is to see you speak live and I know that one day I WILL!
You have no idea how much this episode blessed me. Thank you for all that you do!

Your must powerful podcast in my opinion. It just came at the right moment. I felt so bad in my body because I was somatizing my fear of make my dreams come true. Thank you from my 💜❤️
Mel, thank you so much for making this episode. I listen while working out and it's like a call to see my everyday life as important business to make my dreams come true. I can be my own hero~
Mel you are my hero you help me keep going. I just feel so sad and stupid been so tough to get out of this sorrow. Everyone else is celebrating I'm just trying to get out of bed and move forward. Everytime I feel like I'm getting up and going forward they kick me in the face to keep me down . How do I get out of this circle of hell?
Thank you Mel!
I love you Mel. Thank you so much. Wish I could give you a BIG HUG!!!
one of the powerful lady on the planet I wanna say I love you more than any famous person on the internet you are amazing much love from Ethiopia east Africa so many stupid and beautiful people live here thankyou.
Thank you, Mel!❤ I feel like I need to listen to this episode EVERY single morning. Love it.
Hi Mel, I've been following you now for a short couple of weeks; I've downloaded "take control" and am still lost, unfocused and stuck, HOWEVER, I'm not done, I'm not quitting but my BIG question/comment is that I have no dream, no passion, no idea of what or where I'm going. I've straight up been lucky in my life, at 81 years old I can report a life full of experiences I don't regret, from divorces to a real estate license to becoming a yoga instructor to being kicked out of my home and now alone in an apartment I did not ever want to live in, I still have no dream but I still have life left in me and am not quitting.....just saying I've chosen Tina Turner as my North Star but still don't have any passion or a dream!!!! HELP!!!! & I love you back
Great episode!
Hi Mel, I understand her when she says: I wanna get somewhere. I have been fighting to get a job for 3 years or more, but I couldn't get one. So, last year, really powered up by listening to Boss Babe and the girls I became an entrepreneur with my own business in Ro Ilustraciones & Diseño as I'm a Design Illustrator. I'm still looking for a job, to get more guidance in my career, but apart from the fact that I'm still fighting now I love being independent. This wan't in my plan after I graduate, but I'll keep on moving foward and see what's coming!
Love u Mel ❤ U help me more than u know ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Mel....❤

Hey Mel, new listener here. Your podcast weas recommended and I've been binging on it. You are a power house and I appreciate your sharing everything with the world. My favorite quote when I'm getting 'small' or scared, lost or whatever that has pulled AND pushed me through so many situations. "Don't stop purusing your dreams because of how long it will take. The time will pass anyway."
Perfect timing….someone knew I needed to hear this today!
failure is never the end of story
I will be 39 years old on June 18. Before I graduated with my high school diploma last year I was so unsure what I wanted or where I wanted to go. Then as I was getting my high school diploma at 38 I still didn’t know and I was like I’m to old ti go back and do college. As I type this I just finished applying to a college for my bachelor degree in public administration is what I am already getting experience in at my job because I love it.
I just listened to this podcast, infact this is my 3rd time of hearing 🥰 You are my North Star and I have made the 1st step towards a dream I have teaching people to sew. I have found a venue and have a meeting with the manager Wednesday next week 😳⭐️ 🧵
Hi Mel I can’t say how much I love you.. This podcast is solely about me & you are talking to me ..!! I have wasted nearly 10 years & as you said I’m longing my dream so badly..! I always find an excuse & give my self a comfort zone…!! But you know one; no more wasting time .. Today is the first day I’m going towards my dreams.. Love you Mel❤
Thanks, Mel for telling us that we should be a hero in our own life. We should shift gears and lead our way to our dream success. Keep on sharing strategies how to manage our life, emotions, and others aspect of our lives.
❤❤❤ thank you Mel
Mel, I'm a composer. I have had problems my whole life with failing report cards and a messy room. I was basically continually in pain and felt stupid. Luckily, I learned I could write music. Anyway, the reason I can do that, is your 5 Second Rule. And, I have a bracelet, with the ring, that says 54321 GO. In any case, it's very good. Because, I choose not to use the rule, unless I have it visible, next to me. And, the house is clean. I am writing music. And, of all things, will continue to write music. All because you helped me with my procrastination.
Love this Mel.. I journal most mornings.. great addition.. I watched so many of my dreams die but I also touched many in my life.. ready to dream again My students graduate this week I’ll do a dream art excercise with them today💜💜
This was very powerful! Thank you, Mel, for the motivation.
Thanks for all your content, Mel! Monday morning, on the treadmill, 54321 let’s go!
totally agree w/ everything said here. Fr 1 Mel to another Mel. Thank U!
This is so powerful. Thank you Mel.💗
Mind blowing!😮 Thank you Mel!
Thank you Mel for coming into my life. I followed the morning routine this morning. ✋️😊❤
Thank you Mel.❤
Oh my gosh Mel, I knew I loved you for a reason my mother was back in the day on the Howard Stern show in New York City. He introduced me on his show when I was 19 years old we’re talking long time ago lol.😂 I don’t know if you remember crazy Celeste but that was my mom and she absolutely loved Howard. I even have a picture. I wish I could post it on here for you anyway you’re amazing and I appreciate this. I never thought how small I was playing until pretty much a year ago. Have a blessed day. Thank you so much Christina.
this is insanely powerful

Boy this is me! I'm now 74, living in my dream house alone, working in my own business fulltime and trying to make ends meet without a friend anywhere near here and I just know this has to change! I need help getting going forward toward the change!
I wish they did!! After years of emotional abuse from a narcissist mine are dead. I wish I had the energy to fight. Truth is I am broken. All those years supporting my husband who treated me like I was less killed my dreams. I'm not sure I can dream anymore.
It's my dream, therefore only I can make it happen. 10 million HUAH!
♥MEL❣ YOU kicked my ASS. I'm a writer, and I have written so many "outlines", scraps of scenes & story ideas, of which I have 6 banker's boxes FULL UP for story ideas, and random journals of bizarre events and people that happened in real life. I worked 30 corporeal years. I ran with the big dogs, too. I burned out, so I spent 6 years in a laundry mat in Del Mar, where lots of people told me, "You're funny". I'd respond, "Looking!" and they'd laugh more. People told me I should have a show like Rachael Ray or Chelsea Handler. I'd say, "Thanks, my life has been a VERY long running rehearsal for a really funny standup comedy routine😆🤣 I've said that line so many times BUT, have I written a single joke about my numerous HILARIOUS personal tragedies, Hell No. YOU KICKED MY AS TODAY, MEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST DO IT NOW, OR HAVE NO PEACE OF MIND! YOU HAVE MOVED ME FORWARD🥰 Coincidentally, last night my hubby & I made a pact to stop drinking. Somehow after your podcast today, I'm not Earnest f-ing Heminway. I won't drink again until I publish something somewhere. I know it. Hoping I'll feel SO good I won't want alcohol. THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES, MEL once again your message is perfectly timed for me personally. I WONDER HOW MANY YOU'VE INSPIRED⁉⁉
I'm slowly getting on my way l don't ever want to meet a narcissist person again

Hey Kathleen! I advice you take the 3-part training called Take Control, linked in the description; I did, I already knew part of the answer but I guess it would really help you find out, even if you have no clue right now. This program is for free, it only needs time and self investment and it is worth every second you spend on it. I did it as a struggling neurodivergent single mom, with huge financial issues, I won't pretend my life is now perfect, but it has improved and I can see my path now. Go for it, really. And if you feel like it is not enough, you need to search further, maybe you could also listen to Jay Shetty's contents, as he did a lot around finding yourself. And have a hug if you need one, I am sure you are fantastic and you will find your way to live rather than survive. Sending you strength and positive vibes.
