Sugar for Your Lemonade

In this episode we keep it fluffy, sh*t has been crazy in the world, especially in our little corner and there's A LOT of density. We could have done a little something something on mindset, how to ground in and more wellness style of episode but then we thought NO, we want to have fun and laugh!

So that's what we did and we hope you do too! We ask each other questions, some thought provoking others just silly, all in the name of good times.

You might learn a little something something, I think we both did from each other which is always kinda cool. We look forward to hanging out with you! Much love, AshVal & Mel Books Mentioned:

Anxiety is one of those things that feels like it just "is", as though it's a reality that will never change. And with where the world is at how does one stop from being stressed and anxious?? Seriously! In this episode AshVal takes you on a journey of how she learned to recognize anxiety in herself, how it was showing up and what she did to combat it. She shares her best pro tip, the one that really changed the game so you too can implement it in your life (should you choose ;) As always, we love hearing from you so drop a message on IG or leave a review on Apple ITunes Much love, AshVal and Mel Mel Link: https://linktr.ee/mel_connects_the_dots AshVal Link: https://linktr.ee/theashval

In this episode we go deep, like real deep, more questions than answers deep Are you willing to look at yourself and see the potential "evil" within, not that you're good or bad, acknowledging the potential for both. AshVal was feeling especially vulnerable on this episode and didn't want to air it BUT in honour of full transparency, integrity and learning together we decided to go ahead. Full disclosure AshVal had just done a very intensive week healing and wasn't completely grounded at the time of recording, she doesn't like not having fully formed thoughts before discussing them, too bad for her though right ;) We can all grow together. So join us, as we ask a lot of questions and hopefully prompt you to ask a few to yourself. And we would love your input, what are your thoughts on the devil within, is that somewhere you're willing to go in order to see the world in new ways. We look forward to sharing this most vulnerable episode with you, Much love, Mel & AshVal

In this episode, Mel and Pastor Ken dig into some of the ish Mel had with religion and they converse about their point of views on subjects that can get triggering for some people.

They also talk about their biceps, because this is where Mel and Pastor Ken met, in a Crossfit gym.

Talk about how legit Jesus is (real pastor Ken words) and how and why he became a pastor.

Fascinating episode.

We've all been there. You're taking on a new challenge and you know you're ready. You've worked for it. Planned and prepared. So why does your brain start feeding you BS? 

AshVal and Mel share how the imposter-gremlins have shown up in their lives. They also cover how you can shift from the "not good enough" mode and embrace life with confidence. 

Punch the imposter and say hi to your best self. That's today's sugar!

Have you ever given an advice that was not solicited from you? How did that turn out? Did that blow up in your face?

I, Mel, for sure did.. and it absolutely blew up in my face. In this episode I am sharing a story, again.. about how giving advice when you are in the middle of your growth is not always the best idea. I explain why it's important to change YOU and not telling others how they SHOULD be. Tune in! it might make you cringe a bit when you realize that you too.. have been giving advice that was not well received. Booking links: https://linktr.ee/mel_connects_the_dots

Who are your friends? Where did you meet? Why are they your friends? You've likely had your friends from elementary, the ones from childhood, ones from sports or after school activities. You might have a couple workplace proximity friendships (shout out Parks and Rec), a gym buddy, book club or what have you. But what really makes a deep and impactful friendship? How many of those do you allow in your life? Today we (AshVal and special guest Kelsey Eigler) chat about our story of friendship. How we've cultivated this absolutely profound and meaningful life altering friend relationship and what it took, and takes, to have it. It has not always been sunshine and rainbows, we have absolutely triggered each other, yet, here we are, stronger and more committed to being there for each other. We talk about what it takes to hold space to experience growth like this so that you can too! There's also a lil moment of absolute pure divine timing of a package delivery that is mind blowing, I still can't quite believe it, you don't want to miss it.

What does failing mean to you? Does it scare you? Does it make you feel horrible? Follow Mel in her first real solo episode (well, with Cooper the sidekick of course) and follow her down memory lane when she opens up about the biggest failure in her life.. yet. And how she turned this failure into opportunities and basically teaching you that failure does not exist. Only feedback. To book a session with Mel or to work with her as a coach. Click here.
