In this episode, you will learn how to take back your power when you’re in the midst of change, stress, or uncertainty, and then redirect your energy for self-transformation. 

If there’s an area of your life that you’re feeling unhappy about and want to take control over, today’s episode will show you exactly what to do. 

Joining Mel in this deeply personal episode is her 21-year-old son Oakley. He candidly shares how he went from feeling stuck and lonely, to finally feeling happy again, and the simple mindset shifts and changes that made the biggest difference. 

He and Mel openly unpack how to go from feeling unhappy about a situation you feel like you don’t have a lot of control over, and how to move through it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-How the fantasy version of your past keeps you from seeing what’s possible now

-How to know whether it’s you or the situation that needs to change

-Why it’s unfair to criticize where you are if you haven’t done this one thing

-How long you should give a new situation before deciding if it’s the right fit

-The 4 things you may be doing to keep you stuck and unhappy

-The signs that you’re “quietly quitting” the situation you’re in

-The science of luck and what happy people do to make their own luck

-The first thing you need to do when you’re unhappy and want your life to feel different

Here’s the hard truth: nobody is coming to rescue you - and that’s good news.

It means you have more power than you think.

The moment you see what’s keeping you stuck, you can start changing it. After today, you’ll know exactly what needs to change first.
