The Motivation Burrito

Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by thoughts of doubt, of lies we tell ourselves, feelings of unworthiness, etc. I call this the Devil's Playground because it's the thing that keeps us from seeing the light, or from being with higher vibes and consciousness. I experienced this in a way that sent me down a rabbit hole of anxiety and fear. 

Last week I had a moment. I was mad at God. I had a very frustrating afternoon and I realized a lot of what I was feeling was surrounding old values and old beliefs. I reached out to my group and they assured me that it was okay to feel the things I felt. I realized my truth is changing, and that I'm expressing myself more honestly, and I'm shifting what needs to be shifted. 

This is actually a fun episode. I share some of my favorite things, both "surface level" like favorite celebrities, food, etc, right down to more personal and thought provoking questions. Because at the end of the day, I want ya'll to love me lol. 

This past weekend was super emotional as I opened up about a past relationship. To be honest, I almost gave up hope. Until I received some friendly little reminders that what I want, wants me and the only way I can receive the right partner and soulmate is to Trust again. I share my favorite love stories on the type of love I'm looking for, and trusting that it's already here!

This is probably one of the harder episodes I've recorded. I won't say hardest, because you never know what life throws your way. I decided I needed to record this, to stand in my truth, and it was super important to release this on the day it was recorded, which is a Saturday. And even though it's outside the "normal" scheduled time, the message was too important to wait until that Tuesday. Plus, there's magic in sharing something on the first of the month. My intention for this podcast is to create a safe space for others, but today, I decided to step into my own safe space, and be honest, fully open, vulnerable and super RAW. 

Announcement: I will be taking a break on Tuesday from recording to rejuvenate and recharge. I have also said YES to phase 2 of branding so that I can have a new logo and some amazing visuals. 

About the Episode: During my self-exploration and self-discovery journey, I found myself constantly dating the same 3 Ds: Darkness, the Devil and Destiny. My experiences with them have been different, but it has also taught me to communicate my needs BETTER and at all times, not just the good times. It has also taught me about my true purpose, and my quest for knowledge and the truth. What Ds have you dated? What lessons have these 3 Ds taught you?

I have been feeling it the past couple of weeks and I've been itching for what I call the Melissa Makeover. Rather than running and spending money on hair dyes, makeup palettes and outfits, I decided to share with you all some of my "Must Haves" and essentials for beginner Make-up Enthusiasts. Sharing really is caring and I'm bringing to you ways to give yourself a little confidence boost when you're feeling a little low vibe. 

Check me out on Facebook at The Motivation Burrito Podcast and share some thoughts, feedback, questions or even ideas on some topics. As I look to start phase 2 of branding, I'm also asking for help, which for me is a big deal.

When things start to shift in your life, some of the processes that you go through are purging and integrating. In purging, you start to clear out space for new blessings and open the doors of receiving. In the integration process, you start to channel the truest version of you, while integrating parts of your "old self" that you want to keep. To do both processes at once? Yikes! While it's not easy to navigate, it's possible! Listen to learn how!

When it comes to processing emotions, I'm really bad at it and tend to avoid it at all costs. There's something that's been on my mind for almost two weeks now that I needed to share. This is something I have yet to share with my own group/sisterhood, and I'm revealing it here because I feel safe to do so. But if I don't acknowledge it now, it will surely lead to emotional chaos later!
