Finding Purpose with Melanie

Hello Everyone! 

Today we are going to cover Attachment Styles 101: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized. Join Melanie as she takes a deep dive into the characteristics of different attachment styles while providing insight into their origins.  Learning about your attachment style can significantly improve the quality of our lives because (a) we actually make sense based on our childhood  and (b) true change comes from the awareness that you have a problem.

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome to Season 2 of Finding Purpose with Melanie. In this podcast, I talk about the importance of giving yourself grace and time when you are experiencing change and transitions in your life. I normalize the emotional hiijacking that can occur and offer tips & strategies that can help ease the process back to balance. And of course, this wouldn't be my podcast if there wasn't a little swearing. I hope you enjoy! Make sure to send me a DM with some answers to some of the questions, text me, leave a comment, or just talk to yourself about it. Peace & love my friends. 

Episode 10 is all about support and encouragement. As Jim Rohn shares, "there are season's to life", there as also different paces. It is important to trust the pace of life. When life becomes steep, be intentional with your step and climb. When you encounter flatland, run. Melanie shares two important pieces of wisdom to carry with you as you move forward. She reminds us that change and growth are uncomfortable, just it means you are doing it right. Be well, and as always, be kind. 

Feel the feels. In today's episode I talk about my experience with feeling rejection, a triggering experience.  And I discuss the importance of not running away from what you are feeling. Rather, taking time to tune in and become a witness. True change comes when we become aware of our self. Self-awareness. Mindfulness is about finding the pause between your triggers and your behaviors so that you can THINK before you act. Feel the feels my loves. Be well. 

Today’s podcast I had a lot of fun making. Today I talk about Somatic Experiences, what to do when your body responds emotionally. In many cultures, finding language to describe our stressors can be really hard. It is not uncommon for individuals to first go to their primary doctor, only to be told that all the tests come back normal. Or, for someone to be experiencing significant amounts of stress and find that they are constantly tired, having digestive issues, or extreme headaches. Our mindfulness opening activity is to go to the store and purchase yourself a candle. I want you to take time to smell different ones and find one that resonates with you. I want you to create a meaning to the candle; hope, strength, comfort, knowing, belief, trust, etc. After, I want you to light your candle in the mornings while you get ready for the day or in the evening when you are relaxing at home. True healing happens in the present moment. I hope you enjoy. Back to my swearing self. It is who I am :). Be well friends and thank you for taking this journey with me.
