Most of us want to experience our emotions in a safe and healthy way without feeling triggered or reactive. However, in a lot of daily situations, this is much easier said than done. Becoming emotionally intelligent, especially during difficult conversations or situations can be scary. But, tapping into your own truth and learning how to show up authentically can open you up to a new way of living that you never thought possible.   Helping Women Succeed with Dr. Patty Ann Tublin Dr. Patty Ann Tublin is an internationally recognized emotional intelligence communication and relationship expert, speaker, author, executive coach and consultant. As the CEO and Founder of Relationship Toolbox LLC, a training and development coaching and consulting firm specializing in the development of emotional intelligence and other critical “soft” skills, she enhances optimal individual and group performance that impacts the bottom line. Her passionate belief that all success is based upon the ability to create, nurture and sustain healthy relationships permeates her work as an executive coach and consultant delivering workshops, seminars and leadership development.   What Is Emotional Intelligence? Dr. Patty Ann defines emotional intelligence as “your ability to identify and manage your emotions in real time so they don't manage you, and the ability to empathize with the emotions of others in real time”. While this may sound obvious, many of us don't know how we feel about situations, and can lead to negative repercussions in the long run. The easiest way to increase your emotional intelligence is to gain self awareness, self worth and self love so that you can identify your triggers and become emotionally intelligent, even in difficult situations.   Owning Your Role By taking ownership and responsibility of where you and your relationships are at today, you can start to re-engage the conversation and your relationships in order to restore trust and get to a place where you do not subscribe to toxicity. If you can learn to pause during your triggers and master your emotional intelligence, you can bring wisdom to your daily life and approach your relationships in a whole new light. Tapping into your own truth, and finding clear paths of empathy, compassion and connection that you seek from others, can open yourself up to a form of growth you may never have thought possible. How are you working to develop your emotional intelligence, improve your relationships, and build your ability to handle tough situations?

Even though the muck sucks, it is where we can grow the most. That is where our potential gets pinged and comes into play.” (9:57) “If you start from a place of gratitude and acceptance and love, it's a great way to go through the world and a great way to go through your day.” (21:55) “The first step is self-awareness.

In our talk with Certified Nutritionist and Hypnotherapist Melissa Kathryn, she takes us for a quick meditation session and guides us to “let the answers in” as our conscious thoughts step back and we ask our bodies about how to solve our fears. Melissa shares with us the MK method which she has been following and teaching people in order to change their lives, whether it be an issue with weight, diet, or general emotional and trauma healing. She shares that the beauty of her work is when she gets to empower women through her coaching and her story of surviving cancer, but she notes that people also need to realize that they can look within to find their own answers and be their own inspiration.

This episode of the Wholeness podcast is quick and focused, giving you just the boost you need to get unstuck and face your fears. You might find yourself coming back to the lessons that Melissa teaches in this episode multiple times because fear is something that we all deal with at times. Fear can manifest in many different ways, but it is most commonly associated with resistance and with the ego, meaning that the unknown has propelled your mind into protection mode rather than listening to your body which is craving change. Fear is often discord within your soul because you are facing the prospect of leaving your comfort zone, but Melissa says that this is important to acknowledge. After noticing this fear, the best way to overcome it is to talk about the possibilities available to us. This will open up that mind-body connection that was broken when your mind wanted to keep you safe and your body wanted to move forward. If you need help to see the possibilities, ask for divine guidance, expect only miracles, and choose to be excited about what is coming to you. Melissa often experiences this while dreaming, and she teaches that you write in a desire journal every night, place your desire, ask to be shown, and request that you can remember upon waking. You can’t stay stuck when you are so excited about pushing past your fears that they cease to exist. Brief Outline: The source of fear Same energetic plane as resistance, but also excitement The unknown can cause discord with your soul This begins in your mind with your ego Catch your words before they create Talk about the possibilities available to you Expect only miracles Ask for divine guidance Acknowledge your fear and choose excitement instead Getting unstuck What You’ll Learn: Getting unstuck Facing your fears Recognizing discord in your soul Talking about the possibilities to you Get into inspired action  Key Quotes: “Fear is ultimately resistance.” “In order to get into action, we have to shift our mentality and mindset into one of excitement around that which we are doing.”  “The mind is built on human experience of human consciousness.” “A belief is created within 17 seconds – whether good or bad.” “The only time fear takes over is when we hit a wall of resistance because we’re in a limited consciousness, thinking that there is no way but the way we’re living.” “The only excuses that exist are the ones that you allow and the only limitations that exist are the ones that you create.” “The way to get out of fear is to take inspired action.” “I am a ‘yes’ to this new way.”   Episode Links Get Your Wholeness Podcast FREE Gift to Experience Radical Self-Love & Acceptance: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/mirror-work   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk

Melissa continues the conversation on creating new identities for yourself that she began on the previous episode of the Wholeness podcast. When thinking about whether your identities are serving you or hurting you, it is helpful to recognize that all of the ones that are not serving you were placed on you by other people, perhaps your family, and the ones that are serving you, are identities that you have already created for yourself. While you might not feel like you are capable of creating new identities that serve you, you already have that power within yourself as the aspects of yourself that feel good to you, or that you are proud of, are in fact identities, you created and believed in as you continued to foster the belief of them.  Therefore if you were able to create aspects you love about yourself, then you can just as easily create new ones to replace the ones that you don’t like.  Melissa teaches you how in today’s episode! Once you have this realization, you can shift your mentality and break the mental barriers that have been holding you back and keeping you settled into the identities that others have placed on you. Melissa also lets you in on a little secret: no one knows what they are doing in life. This liberating revelation allows you to decide who you want to be and what you want to do, to expect only miracles because you know that if you desire it, it is already on its way to you. You can wake up every morning, like Melissa does, and claim that this day will be the best day ever and that you are perfect just the way you are, releasing the things that are not serving you and grounding down into the identities that are.     Brief Outline: Identities that you have Those serving you You created Placed upon you by others Those harming you You know that you can do it because you already have No one knows what they are doing You get to decide what you want to be Claim what you want and release what you don’t Creating new identities for yourself What You’ll Learn: Creating new identities for yourself You have already created an identity for yourself that is serving you Recovering from cross-programming you have received You decided everything about your life Claiming what you want and releasing what you don’t Key Quotes: “Goals and dreams are two separate things.” “I want to liberate you of a circumstance that isn’t serving you anymore.” “How have the roles that have been serving you that you have lived into been serving you and how have you expanded on them?” “You have already created an identity that is serving you and you’re grounded into your worth with it.” “You believe that you were and so it is.” “It became a part of you because you made it a part of you.” “You can create whoever you want to be at any time.” “If you don’t like it, it was never yours to begin with – someone else put it on you.” “We have to start taking action in the direction of things that we desire.” “What is your truth?” “You get to choose who you are.” “Being human is actually the greatest gift.” “Our time now is to grow and expand in our consciousness here and to recognize that we can constantly change our reality.” “I expect only miracles.” “I don’t do anything until I’ve set a powerful intention for what I choose to create that day.” “I release and let go. These are not mine and never were.”   Episode Links Get Your Wholeness Podcast FREE Gift to Experience Radical Self-Love & Acceptance: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/mirror-work/   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk

Melissa’s topic on this episode of the Wholeness podcast is how to create new identities that serve you. In her work with her clients, she uses several different modalities and methodologies that all help her clients recognize the roles they created as children within their family constructs and among their friends that they have continued to live into as adults.    Melissa explains in detail what these varying “Roles or Identities” can be, how they got created and provides examples of how they play out in adulthood - sharing the important distinction, that we, as the creators of these identities can release them. That we in fact do not need to continue to own certain “Labels/Identities/Roles” we take on if we do not like them; or as Melissa would say, “if they are hurting us instead of serving us”.  She takes you through a variety of exercises to help you gain clarity on the roles you took on in childhood that you are continuing to own as an adult.  These simple questions are posed to you in today’s episode: Make a list of the roles that serve you and another list of the roles that hurt you that you see yourself living into and owning as a part of your identity as an adult. Ask yourself “How have these roles supported me? How are these roles/identities hurting me?” Feel free to share with Melissa Kathryn what you have found for further insights in her exclusive, FREE online community (LINK) Circle the first 3 roles that are hurting you that you want to change During and after this exercise, you will have clarity and feel extremely empowered knowing you can reprogram the roles that aren’t serving you - by merely choosing to let them go.  Melissa explains “when you give yourself permission to change and the freedom of knowing those character traits, ways of being, roles or identities (however you want to characterize them) aren’t actually you and never were - you become liberated. It is important to identify where they came from in your life, and to keep in mind that you can always change, no matter what you have been through in the past.  Our roles are developed by our relationships with our family, friends, colleagues, and circumstances, combined with others projections that formed our perception - our internalized view of ourselves.    To your parents or siblings, you will forever be the pre-adolescent version of yourself. The most loving thing you can do for yourself and those around you is to stand up for yourself and relinquish those irrelevant labels that are hurting you. You have the power to shift your mindset and behaviors right now.  Brief Outline: Understanding the roles that we play Some roles serve us and some don’t Can be formed by your family dynamics, school, friends, siblings, parents, etc. We tend to tie ourselves to labels, but we don’t need to be defined by them You usually revert back to your assumed roles when you are around your family If there was a deficiency in your family dynamics growing up, you could have assumed a role that you need to let go It is difficult to change your family’s perception of you because they have known you through so many of your roles How your family of origin impacts your roles Know that you can change whenever you want to This is a choice Examine which roles serve you and which ones do not and then put in the work to realign them Internal shifts needed to make new identities Make a list of the roles that serve you and another list of the roles that hurt you Ask yourself “How have these roles supported or hurt me?” Feel free to share with Melissa Kathryn what you have found Circle the first 3 roles that are hurting you that you want to change Exercise What You’ll Learn: Understanding the roles that we play Clear distinction of identities that are serving or hurting Empowered actions to shift the unwanted How your family of origin impacts your roles Internal shifts needed to make new identities Mindset training for the empowered woman Key Quotes: “Our subconscious mind really stops forming after the age of 8.” “There are roles that you’re playing and living into that you don’t need to.” “What we learn and what we believe about ourselves becomes what we believe that we are.” “We as a culture love to label.” “You don’t need to be these things that are not serving you.” “You can see the roles you play most when you go back and visit your family.” “If it’s hurting you, I want you to know that it can change.” “We are animals by nature. We can change whenever we want.” “We can shift energy at any time.” “We’ve got to identify what is standing in the way that we are conforming to that we’re not even aware we keep playing into because we’ve just made it a part of who we are because we’ve bought into the story.” “What is it that I really want?” “We get to own it by saying ‘I choose differently.’”   Episode Resource Links Get Your Wholeness Podcast FREE Gift to Experience Radical Self-Love & Acceptance: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/mirror-work/   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk

On this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa answers the question from a listener, “How can I accept where I am when I’m striving to change?” Melissa reveals that just the use of the word ‘striving’ in the question says so much about the listeners mindset.    Striving is motivated by masculine energy, and based on the fear that the thing you are wanting is not happening for you. Instead of living with this mentality of lack and fear-based thinking - with the focus being on the absence of the thing you’re wanting.   Melissa offers listeners the insight of being conscious of your energy while intentionally choosing to live aligned with your feminine energy in these moments, instead of trying to work hard to achieve or get the things you want.   She says that when you are living in your feminine energy, you will be in your flow and you will believe that what you want is already on its way to you. You will be in touch with your highest self and with divine guidance, and you will be able to trust what is coming to you with open arms in whatever form it comes, versus controlling the timelines or the outcome or the exact way in which it “should” look.  When you are in this space, you will be more receptive and creative, spending more time in play and pleasure, and more connected to your intuitive guidance system.   Brief Outline: Feminine energy aligns with: Flow Lit up Creativity In touch with guidance Intuitive Pleasure Goal-oriented Achievement  Not allowing for guidance Doing Masculine energy aligns with: Fear of it not happening Lack mentality Masculine approach What striving evokes in you: Claiming your feminine power If it is a desire, then it is meant for you Being in a space of receptivity Law of attraction: What You’ll Learn: The difference between feminine and masculine energies Striving is a masculine approach When you are in your flow, you will be filled with expectation “Being” rather than “doing” to get what you desire The law of attraction explained and applied to your life Being in a space of receptivity   Key Quotes:   “The word ‘striving’ alone is a very masculine view, a very masculine approach and mentality.”   “Did you ever notice that when you really want something, you can’t get it?”   “When we’re in our worth and in our flow, we just believe without a shadow of a doubt that the thing we’re wanting is on the way to us.”   “May it be this or something greater.”   “Transformation is not a goal. It’s a never-ending evolution.”   “I trust and love where I am, and I trust and know where I’m going.”   “This is my desire. Show me the way.”   “Show me the way for my highest good with my highest joy.”   “If it’s a desire, then it’s meant for you.”   “We learn more quickly when we are in our joy, in our bliss, and when we are a ‘yes’ to life.”   Episode Resource Links Get Your Wholeness Podcast FREE Gift: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/mirror-work/ “Attached” book: https://www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk

The topic on this episode of the Wholeness podcast is self-acceptance and self-love, which is especially important during COVID-19, when we feel so isolated. Even though you may feel disconnected from others, Melissa describes connection with and love for yourself as of utmost importance right now and always.  She teaches that the only two human emotions are love and fear and that fear becomes primary when you are letting your ego have control. The ego shows you a false reality and ultimately causes you to abandon yourself, but love is the answer to life and allows you to operate from the highest level of consciousness available to humans. Maybe you, like Melissa, were conditioned to criticize yourself from a young age and it will take some very conscious effort to be able to love and accept yourself for who you are, to venture within and tell your inner child that you will never abandon her again.  No one can make this shift to love for you; you need to choose to get connected with your body and love yourself now,exactly as you are. Melissa teaches that one of the key elements of this journey to self-love is mirror work and positive affirmations. In today’s episode she created a special FREE gift to support you in your journey to Wholeness to have Radical Self-Love and Acceptance! Go here to get your FREE gift! This practice of mirror work and love for you, feels good and results in connection rather than self rejection. This change within you will affect your connections with other people as well, helping you be a more loving, truthful, and intimate friend, partner, and parent by loving yourself first and being able to love more fully.

The topic of today’s Wholeness podcast is feminine and masculine energies, balancing them, understanding when to utilize one over the other and seeing the benefits of each.   More importantly, especially given the state of the world, understanding how they are impacting your actions and relationships is needed.  Melissa shares with her community in-depth insights about the polarities of feminine and masculine energies that exist within all of us.  If off balance, she also gives examples of specific struggles we may encounter internally, in our relationships, as well as our careers.   Society continues to perpetuate the archaic narrative that one of the main characteristics of being in the feminine is exuding weakness, i.e. being weak, a doormat, not able to stand for one self, being shy, indecisive and/or complacent.  The true essence of the feminine is a fierce warrior who lives in flow, loves freedom, is connected to her body, driving from her intuitive guidance system to take inspired action, and is a receptive container for all good things - knowing they will come.   The feminine and those who operate from this powerful energy are super attractors. Their desires manifest quickly with little effort.  Efforting is a masculine energy.  When in the feminine,  she is in her worth - she knows that she is the gift and that everyone benefits from being around her. She is so powerful that men are intimidated by what she possesses, by the ease and power in which she creates and achieves success. In relationships, Melissa explains that it is important to understand that there is always a balance of masculine and feminine energies, and that men and women possess both, each energy serving a purpose. So when either person is tapped into their feminine energy, the other will automatically begin to pull from their masculine (and vice versa). The woman who is in alignment with her feminine is not afraid to go after what she desires in any area of her life nor is she afraid to ask for her needs to be met and receives them without giving in return. Giving is masculine. Brief Outline:  Feminine energy characteristics Left side of the body Flowing High frequency In pleasure and play Connected to the body Creative outlet Intuitive Multitaskers - have diffuse awareness Takes inspired action Discerning Right side of the body Quick decision makers Proactive Quick to act Not discerning Aggressive Single focused Takes action without emotion   Masculine energy characteristics Men don’t always have to be in their masculine and women don’t always have to be in their feminine If you are pulling from the masculine, the other person will have to pull from the feminine Are you happy with the energy you are pulling from or putting out? What do you want from your partner? Do you want an alpha man for ex? If so, you want to operate from your feminine to attract that in. Do you need to be more intentional about living in your feminine?

They cannot multitask.” “What are your beliefs around the feminine? Are you open and willing to see the power of the feminine?” “She desires it. She thinks it. And she waits in the faith of its coming. She is in the high frequency flow of life to support that which she desires most, knowing that her action steps will come.” “The feminine is inspired action. The masculine is to do action.” “The feminine is a receptive container.” “The feminine knows there is no such thing as time and everything is working on her side when she’s tapped into the divine.” “The feminine knows the power in her presence and her preference.” “Stand in your worth and allow the empress within you to step forward.”   Episode Resource Links: Louise Hay: Heal Your Body Louise Hay: You Can Heal Your Life Allison Armstrong: Queens Code Allison Armstrong: Keys To The Kingdom   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk

This episode of the Wholeness podcast is particularly timely since most of the US is still staying mostly at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Melissa shares with listeners about her own personal experiences with dieting and the ways that the diet mindset stemmed from her 10-year old self. 10 years old is typically a milestone year for girls as they come to be more aware of their own bodies and establish beliefs about themselves in comparison with others or in comparison to how they think they should look. Melissa’s limiting beliefs were put on the wrong trajectory when her mother took her to a Weight Watchers meeting and Melissa realized that her mother must think that she is fat. From that point on, she was a perpetual dieter, constantly eating clean and counting calories only to be left feeling unfulfilled and ashamed if and when she “slipped up”. One morning she woke up in her apartment in New York and realized that she couldn’t keep living like that and she started her journey towards wholeness and healing. You likely have a similar story, guided by experiences or limiting beliefs from your past that could still be affecting you today. But Melissa wants you to know that you can overcome those feelings and find healing by connecting with your body and listening to your inner guidance. You may think that your weight is holding you back from who you want to be or where you want to go, but the ultimate roadblock is really your relationship with yourself. Those past experiences and beliefs only have the meaning you assign to them, and you can choose to create a new narrative. You can choose to live in love and break the cycle of self-sabotage, creating a new identity for who you want to be, and you will find that through wholeness you will lose the weight almost effortlessly.  Brief Outline:     During coronavirus, everything seems magnified       If you struggle at all with anxiety or disordered eating, chances are these struggles are even harder right now     Look at this as an opportunity to reset and to connect     Melissa Kathryn’s story       Started as a 10-year old going to a Weight Watchers meeting     This fractured or “not enough” mindset continually grew until she was an adult       Living in New York City and after her first body competition was when she became painfully aware that she was more than a dieter and was in toxic relationship with food and was not at all connected to herself     After winning the trophy for “Best Body in the INBF”, she spiraled and gained back all of the weight she had lost within 90 days teaching her listeners the invaluable lessons she had to learn         She realized the painful truth that she didn’t love herself and all of her dieting and dysfunctions with food were from a lack within herself that she didn’t want to see or feel     Melissa created the Wholeness method that she teaches her clients to this day to help all women come home to the truth of who they are before they ever thought they were less than     The dieting mind is a tricky little bitch       On the outside, you look like you’re healthy and you have it all together     Behind closed doors you are unhappy within and binging, diets are deprivation, the depriving of one's true self     This leads to a cycle of guilt and shame     Wholeness means getting back to the truth of who you are before you ever thought that you were less than       Do the love-work, let go of control, and heal within, the weight will release as a result     Then you will lose the weight, but your new relationship with yourself will be more important   What You’ll Learn in today’s podcast is the power in:         Trusting your body          Mind-body-spirit connection         The source of your limiting beliefs         Loving yourself first         Removing self-sabotaging behavior         Getting out of isolation and into connection   Key Quotes:   “Everything that we’re doing here is eradicating and removing self-sabotaging behaviors.” “In life, there’s always going to be something that takes us out from the commitments that we make to ourselves.” “Thank you for showing me those things that I need to get rid of.” “Let’s look at this as an opportunity to come together and to get even more support.” “It’s never been about the food and it’s never been about the weight. It’s about us getting out of isolation into connection and starting to see that we are worthy of time for ourselves and taking care of ourselves now more than ever.” “If you have been struggling with your weight for more than a year, you don’t have a weight issue. You have a lack of a relationship with yourself.”  “We have stories and things that have happened to us in our lives, and it’s the meaning we give to them.” “My worth was tied to my weight and I never wanted to lose that feeling.” “I didn’t want to know the real me because I was afraid that if I saw her, I would unravel.” “Where we restrict, we rebel.”   “Diets are just distractions from what’s under the hood that you’re too afraid to look at.” “We all deserve to be happy.” “Weight has no meaning unless you give it some.”  “Hiding from your truest self is the biggest disservice.” “The dieter in me was formed from such a deep lack of love.” “I teach wholeness which is coming back to the truth of who you were before you ever thought you were less than.”  “Before we even get out of bed, we’ve made ourselves wrong.” “When we live into love, everything and anything is possible.”  “The minute you say yes to a diet is the minute you abandon yourself and stop trusting your body.” “It’s through your connection to your body that you’ll actually understand your own healing.”  “We can’t lose the weight and keep it off if we haven’t created the identity for who we want to be.” “The excess weight has been your safety blanket.” Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

Melissa’s topic on this episode of the Wholeness podcast is a familiar one to listeners who have been learning from Melissa for some time, but it is especially timely in the midst of COVID-19. Melissa has previously offered her insights on masculine and feminine energies, the balance that should be found, and appropriate times to be in each one, but as most women in the U.S. are still working from home and many are trying to manage households and families as well, the need for living in the feminine is so needed. These circumstances tend to bring out our masculine energies because of the need to accomplish things, check them off of our list, and move on to the next task without much pause or reflection. This cycle will lead to burnout and could have devastating results on multiple areas of our lives, so it is of utmost importance for us to tap into our feminine, take a beat, feel the feelings, get in touch with our bodies, reflect back on what has given us joy in the past, and set up new practices that will help us live into our feminine. When you are in your feminine flow, your mind, body, and spirit are aligned and you are able to transcend the circumstances to recognize the gifts and the joy around you. Melissa shares that it is especially important for us to move our bodies, pause for reflection on the questions in the outline below, consider how the ways we are communicating right now could indicate unbalanced energies, and be intentional about creating transition time for ourselves and our partners between different responsibilities. You cannot experience true and intimate connection with yourself or others if you are not continually accessing your feminine and getting grounded in your body. This is especially pertinent during this time of social distancing and uncertainty in the world.    Brief Outline: Accessing your feminine New generations have less societal programmings from years past about women's roles   History has shut down the feminine due to fear of their power COVID-19 is providing a unique opportunity to leap into the feminine Masculine – strength, “do” mode, measured, single focus, in touch with mind Feminine – feeling, being, in touch with body The answers you seek are in the being and the feeling The balance of masculine and feminine energies A new start, a redirection Release the timeline and put in the effort to tap into your feminine The gift of COVID-19 Move your body What are things that you can do to be in the feminine, in the play, and in the pleasure? What are things you loved to do as a child? What are 3-5 songs that bring you joy? What are 3 things that you can do today or add to your week that add play and pleasure? How are you nourishing the feminine part of you to allow for the path of least resistance? Ask yourself these questions: Are you communicating aggressively? Are your breaths shallow? How is the tempo of your voice? Consider your communication You can’t jump immediately from one role or responsibility to another Give yourself and your partner transition time Things to integrate into finding your feminine What You’ll Learn: Accessing your feminine The gift of COVID-19 Feeling and being rather than just doing How being in your feminine will impact your relationships Being intentional with transition time Noticing your communication   Key Quotes: “This is an area and a domain that I’m so passionate about because I had to learn it.” “When you drive from being very results-oriented and task-oriented…you have to be reminded to be on the journey, not just to get from point A to point B.” “We pull on the [masculine or feminine] energy that is needed for the task at hand.” “The feminine was actually shut down historically because of our power.” “Anytime we need to dominate, it stems from fear.” “If you’re experiencing a lot and you’re undergoing challenges…on the other side of this is the life you want.” “You are transcending at such a rapid pace that the ascension process for the sacred feminine is rising so very quickly.” “What if we choose to see the gift?” “The path of least resistance is what will get you to where you want to be.” “We will outsource what the next steps are when we’re in the masculine.” “You can play in your purpose.” “All that tension is, all that stress is, is a lack of emotional processing.” “The mind will always keep you where you are.” “There is power in every perception you choose to see and there is also pain.” “You have an opportunity in the feminine to rise so quickly and to overcome any obstacles and to create a new reality and to literally leap.” “What is the gap between where you are and where you want to be in your belief system?” “My fulfillment came from my clients’ success and I was left depleted.” “Listening is an art that is truly of the feminine.” “Men need to feel respected, women need to feel heard.” “When you’re in your feminine, your breaths are deeper.” “There is power in releasing the plan.” “What if everything occurring right now is a gift?”   Links: Alison Armstrong:  https://www.understandmen.com/ “The Law of Attraction”:  https://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401912273 Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you? E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In today’s episode, Melissa breaks down how to cut sugar and cure your cravings for good. She outlines four steps that can help you to break the habit and stop your sugar cravings.    Melissa also spends time discussing the mechanics of emotional eating and how this plays a large role in why sugar feels more powerful than your desire to be healthy and fit.   She wants to reiterate - there is nothing wrong with you, her beautiful friend.  If you’ve been over-indulging this episode will help.   The key takeaway is that sugar addiction is like any other addiction, if not even more challenging due to the fact that we need to consciously and continually choose healthier alternatives each day, multiple times a day.  Once you have a small taste, it’s hard to stop and break away from what you’re eating.  This is when binges occur.    However, Melissa points out that there are several helpful things you can do to get ahead of your eating habits by pausing, connecting and choosing to align with yourself to know what the “real” reason for reaching for sugar and food is - if it’s NOT from hunger.     Ask these four questions if you’re tempted to indulge the sugar addiction: “Am I really hungry right now?” “What’s going on in my life right now?” “Is food going to serve me or hurt me?” “What can I do instead?”   Some action steps:   The first thing you eat in the day will set the tone for your eating for the day. Stop cravings by drinking mint tea or ginger tea. Skip dry fruit and opt for berries instead.   In closing, Melissa reminds us that we have control over our mind and bodies, along with what/who we surround ourselves with.    Practice better eating habits by trying to understand what you’re seeking comfort for in the first place. Believe in yourself. You have power over your choices and what you put into your mouth. You can do this.   Brief Outline:   If you’re in AA or recently overcoming an addiction with another substance, the go-to will be smoking or sugar or both. Our eating habits are rooted in our upbringing and learned behavioural responses due to our emotional state. Melissa describes head cravings and heart cravings. Melissa shares a story with a cake-eater and demonstrates the power of community. Be smart about what you keep in your house. Create “kitchen hours” to limit your time in the kitchen. Action steps for curbing sugar: Melissa gives a specific recipe for fighting sugar addiction. Bulk up on protein.   Increase your fiber intake. Food scientists know that you will get addicted to their products. Don’t go crazy with fruits...they’ve got plenty of sugar, too. “Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.”   Somethings we cover:   — Sugar is an addictive substance. — Sugar will elicit the dieting mentality. — Science confirms that you will want more than just a little sugar. — Identifying the emotional connection to sugar will help. — Head cravings: A craving for something that crunches. Stems from a lack of control. — Heart cravings: A craving for something smooth and creamy. Stems from an emotional void. — Paying attention to the emotional meaning of our eating gives YOU the power. — When you’re sad, you tend to soothe with food. — Don’t buy the thing you feel powerless around. — Ask yourself questions about why you’re eating. — You don’t have to be who you were yesterday. — Cravings will pass in four minutes. — There is more hidden sugar than we realize. — Mint tea and ginger tea will curb sugar cravings. — Cleansing your palate will help through a reduced sugar diet or cleanse will help. — Berries are a good snack for when you’re trying to kick sugar. — We often eat when we’re just thirsty.   A few key takeaways:   “Sugar is more addictive than crack and cocaine.” “You’re not going to be able to have just one cookie.” “Where are you allowing yourself to not show up?” “Head and heart cravings will continue until you choose to answer the calling - but continually numbing out with food only keeps the craving alive.” “Food is not a substitution for human connection, but we attach to it like it is.” “If you struggle with sugar, why do you keep it around?” “You need to create boundaries for your own well-being.” “Ask yourself - Is food going to serve me or hurt me?” “Step into the resistance.” “You cannot out-think yourself of a negative state.” “Your body can only process 36g of sugar a day.” “Men and women both do not have enough lean protein intake.” Links:   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In today’s episode, Melissa speaks about the power in releasing control and shares exact steps to let go to create even more joy and certainty in your life. Here’s the thing with control - when we’re in control, we’re trying to play “God” with our own lives - meanwhile blocking the universe from giving us what it is we really want from the path of least resistance.    The bottom line is, you’re not allowing room for support from anyone or anything in your life - making you feel like you always need to control, strive and struggle to create the results you want. You make life challenging this way - you’re cutting off those who love you and want to support you by your tight grip.    Melissa talks about her life-altering career change that brought her to pursue her passion for coaching and helping women. But the thing she felt called to help women with, was the very thing Melissa struggled with - her weight but she discovered it wasn’t actually the weight she was pained by; it was her lack of love for herself - her denial of her true self and critical inner voice that kept her stuck and always pushing instead of trusting and allowing.    As an ex-controller, she’s witnessed first-hand the power in letting go and shares how you experience a greater sense of control and certainty when you release and let go.     Melissa dives deep into this in today’s episode, while giving you the exact tools you need to trust and allow so that you can have the freedom and flow you’ve been wanting in your life, mirrored by magical manifestations greater than your imagination.   Brief Outline:   When we’re in control, it’s like we’re playing God in our life.  Being too controlling, we don’t allow family and friends who love us and want to support us. Huge life changes are scary and stressful and cause us to grasp even greater for a sense of control.  As humans, once we master one thing, we want to move on and master something else. We all have struggles and millions struggle with their weight. Melissa points out that it’s not actually the weight that we are struggling with - it’s the lack of self love.  We love the feeling of control - because we think that through control we’ll be able to determine our outcome.  Controllers will typically receive guidance but they never listen because they have their own agenda and disallow universal support - blocking them from something greater than their mind can conceive. Your ego = your mind is based on human experience only. Our minds are set up for survival.  Our mind only knows what we’ve taught it. For example, when you were born, you were a “light being”. You were only of love and light. There was no concept or understanding around hurt or sadness. Then you had human experiences of people telling you things that were created into stories and thus you created your identity around your experience and others words and projections.  Steps to create a new identity. How does she feel? How does she look? How does she act? Create how your ideal day would go in your ideal world, being your ideal self. What does that look like? Write it down. Record it on your phone. Read/listen to it every morning and every night to program your subconscious mind.  We have to release control by listening to that still quiet voice within us that says this is your next step.  Your mind will say no.  You will come up with reasons why this isn’t a good idea. Identify with who we really want to be and how we want to operate in the world. We want to recognize the stories aren't serving us and choose to release them and let go.  Next, look at what we are gaining by having such a tight grip on everything.   Now we sit here and wonder what we’re going to do: We’re scared that we won’t like who we are if we get still and tap into those places we’ve been afraid to feel.  We’re afraid of what’s on the other side.  Control is created as a protection mechanism.  Perfectionism is a disease that robs us from finding true peace and happiness in life. Repeat this all day, every day: I LET GO AND I’M IN FLOW. Women ran the world before men took over.  Queens do not allow disrespect of any kind. They invest in themselves.  A queen commands and demands attention, honor and respect.  Take time to connect to yourself - to your inner queen.  Remind yourself daily and repeat: I let go and I’m in flow. Allow others to show up for us.  Melissa encourages you to release control today and practice being in flow.    What You’ll Learn: How to release control but feeler an even greater sense of certainty The power in letting others in and how to do with colleagues, employees and loved ones Allowance and flow come from this 1 practice Discover how to create a new identity that you can love today How to operate in the world as a Queen and what that means Exact steps to release control and practice being in flow      Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/   Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/ Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

Read/listen to it every morning and every night to program your subconscious mind.  We have to release control by listening to that still quiet voice within us that says this is your next step.  Your mind will say no.  You will come up with reasons why this isn’t a good idea. Identify with who we really want to be and how we want to operate in the world. We want to recognize the stories aren't serving us and choose to release them and let go.  Next, look at what we are gaining by having such a tight grip on everything.   Now we sit here and wonder what we’re going to do: How does she feel? How does she look? How does she act? We’re scared that we won’t like who we are if we get still and tap into those places we’ve been afraid to feel.  We’re afraid of what’s on the other side.  Control is created as a protection mechanism.  Perfectionism is a disease that robs us from finding true peace and happiness in life. Repeat this all day, every day: I LET GO AND I’M IN FLOW. Women ran the world before men took over.  Queens do not allow disrespect of any kind. They invest in themselves.  A queen commands and demands attention, honor and respect.  Take time to connect to yourself - to your inner queen.  Remind yourself daily and repeat: I let go and I’m in flow. Allow others to show up for us.  Melissa encourages you to release control today and practice being in flow.    What You’ll Learn: How to release control but feeler an even greater sense of certainty The power in letting others in and how to do with colleagues, employees and loved ones Allowance and flow come from this 1 practice Discover how to create a new identity that you can love today How to operate in the world as a Queen and what that means Exact steps to release control and practice being in flow              Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/   Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/ Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In today’s episode, Melissa discusses how to recognize your empathic nature, how to see it as a superpower, how to protect that energy, and how to use that for the good of others at this time.   Melissa’s focus today is largely on the idea that empaths have the ability to help people, but they have to tap into their gifts first and see them as gifts versus weaknesses.    Unfortunately, there are lots of stigmas around people who typically identify as empaths, and Melissa being one herself, knows the importance of viewing your empathic nature as a superpower and to not let others judgements steal your joy or power.   Once recognized, the next step is to understand the potential of the empath: that they have superpowers. They can anticipate the needs of others and speak directly into them. They also have one of a variety of preternatural gifts, like clairvoyance,  clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, and can use these gifts to help those around them.   Unfortunately, like anything valuable, these gifts must be protected. Namely, from negative energies and the drain of energy vampires. Melissa shares a few tips on how to protect your gifts. One of these strategies involves calling on a higher power (whichever you prefer) to help enrobe yourself in a white/golden light, packed as tightly as you can. It’s this envisioning that can ward off the drain of the negative people around you. You also can just cut it off at the root. Make a cutting motion and declare yourself protected.   Finally, ask God to be used as a conduit for his will. Seek the help of the supernatural in order to tap into your inner self. You will start to hear your inner voice (and for the first time, recognize it) and use it to understand the inner guidance you have. Follow that guidance to capitalize on your empathic nature. And help people. Go out there and do your best work. Say you’ll do it, and do it. Make the time, commit, and give your gifts back. There’s nothing more rewarding.   Brief Outline: The sacred feminine is on the rise — as an empath, you can use this to your advantage. Empaths were usually told they are too emotional or sensitive as children. This mostly refers to getting out chemicals and addictive agents. Step one is to get connected back to the body by getting “clean.” She exhibits some of the characteristics of all the sentients. Melissa describes how she came to know she was more intuitive than most. Melissa did not feel her empathic nature as a superpower. It was a burden. Breakdown of why empaths tend to turn against themselves in the first place. Light-workers need to empower themselves to hear the messages from within. It’s not about convincing anyone else to fall in line with your truth. You can protect yourself as a light-worker. Imagine that you are wrapped tightly in a sheet of gold and light. You can turn over the weight of that back to the supernatural. As scary as the unknown is, you have nothing to fear. Speak directly to God, etc. about how you can be used as a conduit for its will. “God, may I love me as you love me. May I see me as you see me. May I hear only loving words. May I think only loving thoughts. May I feel only loving emotions. May I only be that of love. I am love. You are love. We are one. Connected forever.” Melissa’s Prayer: Recognizing that we are all light-beings is step one. Embrace the gift of being emotional — you can use that to help other people. Start by looking inwardly and asking your higher self for guidance. You don’t need to know the why...you don’t even need to know the how. Your words create your reality. What You’ll Learn: — How to identify if you’re an empath and a light-worker, and what that means. — How to protect yourself as an empath. — How to use your empathy as a superpower. — How wholeness helps women to bring them back to the truth of who they are. — The difference between clairvoyance, clairsentient, and clairaudient. — “Diets perpetuate and isolate disconnection from one’s body.” — Again, there are only two emotions: love and fear. — We all fall prey to victim-consciousness when we’re made to feel “wrong.” — You’re in control of your environment; you have to own it. — 30 minutes a day can get you in line with the life you want. — Because empaths feel so much, they tend to disassociate and latch onto stories of pain. — There’s a clear divide between those that are awakened versus those that are not.” — Call on whatever you believe in to wrap yourself in gold and light. — You can actually cut out the negative energy. — Trusting your inner self is step one; build that muscle. — You’ve been hearing this voice your whole life, you just don’t know how to listen.   Links & Resources: Matt Kahn’s website: https://mattkahn.org/about/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/   Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM   Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In this episode, Melissa discusses something that is relevant to many people: addiction. Whether it’s an addiction to food, alcohol, drugs, sex, social media, or anything in between, this episode will help you or your loved ones understand and hopefully offer support to make sense of the need for excess, the strong desire to overindulge, and numb out which are the very things that keep us locked in the pattern of addiction.  Melissa’s prayer is this episode supports you  or your loved ones in healing and moving forward - even if awakening one part of you. Melissa begins by highlighting the overconsumption that is happening currently in quarantine. We were living very busy lives before and now that we have stopped, people are noticing things in their life that they overlooked before. And with the difficulty of what’s happening, the difference between people who have tools for self-development and those who don’t is more evident - there is a clear divide between the awakened and the unawake. She notes that obesity, racism, anger, depression, and, of course, addiction are all on the rise, because there is an inability to process the pain, unhappiness, conflict, and self-rejection that is going on. We need to be healed from within and utilize our higher power and connection to self, nature and source like never before - this is the only way to combat addition. To break free and not perpetuate your current experience, Melissa encourages listeners to choose the higher path. In this episode, she gives tools to be able to experience freedom and lightness. Melissa reminds listeners that we all ebb and flow on the journey. Sometimes our ego pulls us back and sometimes we listen to our higher consciousness. We need to remember that we are in charge of our environment, both inside and out. Take a look at your addiction and your home. Be aware of things that tempt you and make you want to engage in your addictive behavior, then get rid of them! If you haven’t built your muscle to resist something, help yourself by keeping those things away. Regardless of the difficulty you’re facing, Melissa notes that you can propel yourself forward very quickly toward the life that you want if you see the challenges as catalysts. Even if it’s hard, be okay with the mess and focus on seeing that things are happening for you. Lastly, Melissa talks about how to support an addict, whether it’s yourself or a loved one. One  of the best things you can do for a loved one is say a prayer, let them go, and distance yourself so that you don’t enable them. And, if you’re the one who is addicted, Melissa has learned through experience that having faith is one of the best ways to support yourself. It helps you know that you are supported and gets you out of playing god with yourself and your life. At the end of the episode, Melissa expresses her heart and compassion for her listeners and leaves you with tips for listening to your truth and improving your self-talk in order to create your reality.   Melissa explains her recent encounters with addiction The overconsumption happening in quarantine Those who do and don’t have the tools to cope and move toward self-development Melissa discusses the need to choose the higher path, even if it’s hard There will be ebb and flow, but embrace and love your inner child What happens when we overindulge The need to clear up our diet and environment Knowing your weaknesses and strengths Recognizing that addiction is a form of self-rejection The need to get out of isolation Seeing difficulties as catalysts to create the life you want Getting out of a negative state by reframing things completely Living out of your future self that’s not addicted Putting up boundaries with loved ones who are addicted Being accountable to yourself in your addictive behavior One of the best ways to support yourself: faith Melissa’s compassion and heart for you Self-talk and finding your truth    What You’ll Learn: The overconsumption during quarantine  What happens when we overindulge That you are in charge of your environment and mindset How to clean up and care for your environment and avoid addiction How to get out of your isolation Quickly propel yourself forward by seeing difficulties as catalysts How to get out of a negative state by reframing What it looks like to live out of your future self that’s not addicted How to act with loved ones who are addicted How to support yourself in your addiction How to find your truth and improve your self-talk    Key Quotes: “I feel right now while we’re in quarantine there’s an overconsumption happening.” “Addiction is on the rise. Obesity is on the rise. Depression is on the rise. Anger, frustration, riots, racism, all of these things, prejudice is on the rise. Because there is an inability to make sense of the pain inside, of the internal conflict, of the self-detriment, of the self-rejection that’s happening. And that’s actually what needs to be healed.” “If you are listening to this and you are currently struggling, you were guided here for a very specific reason.” “Whether we’re turning to food or alcohol or social media, we cloud our divine connection to something higher.” “You are in charge of your environment… You are in charge of your house and your home. You are in charge of your mindset. You are in charge of the way in which you nourish yourself inside and out. My question to you is, how do you want to feel and is that aligned with the way you care for yourself”? “Recognize that addiction is another form of self-rejection.” “You get to create your experience. Your words create your experience.” “It’s through connection that true healing happens. That strength comes from asking for help and support. On the other side of connection is your freedom. On the other side of getting out of isolation and self-rejection, is self-love and healing.” “Please get out of isolation and self-rejection and get into connection and love.” “There are only two human emotions: love and fear.” “If you’re creating your reality and your words create your beliefs, why are you telling yourself a shitty story?” “The beauty of being human is that you get to change your story at any time.”   LINKS:   Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you? E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/ Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/    Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In today’s episode, Melissa discusses how to ditch the mindset that is preventing you from being truly free from food. She calls this the “three mindset secrets to ditch your weight-loss struggle.”   Melissa begins by offering some support to those who have struggled with placing food over themselves, and begins to offer some realistic ways to take captive those thoughts in order to best serve yourself. While explaining her background, Melissa expands on the “holistic” attitude, which ultimately extends beyond physical health and into mental and spiritual health.   Having healed herself from cancer and other illnesses, she does not place primary emphasis on Western medicine, and neither should you. Beyond this, Melissa is a hypnotherapist and an expert on emotional and mindset mastery. Diving into the first masterclass (to go live every Tuesday night), Melissa unpacks how to change your mindset.   Step 1: Uncover the truth of who you are without the weight. She encourages the listener to first write down who you are; that is, describe your current identity. This is the first step in mindset mastery—many of us root our identities in our bodies. A: Answer the question, “Do I believe I can lose this weight without dieting?” Most people are not honest with themselves about how they’re hurting their own goals. This includes cheating on diet days and snacking late at night. B: Burn what you wrote about your identity before. C: Create a new identity. What is the identity you want to embody? Write a paragraph. Begin with declarative “I am” and “I have” statements to manifest your will. D: Write down how it feels to consider this new identity. You want to tap into truth. Read your new identity every night and very morning. E: Write down who you would be without your past. Consider how often you lean on your past mistakes instead of leaning into the present. What would your relationship with food be?   Step 2: Make a declaration of who you choose to be. A: Make a list of all the past beliefs based on your past. B: Burn those core beliefs along with the identity you’re burning. C: Make a list of the beliefs that line up with the identity you actually want. In other words, what would that woman believe to be true?   Step 3: What areas of your life are out of alignment?   Melissa walks through this process and teaches her viewers that this newly-constructed identity must be repeated to yourself in order to train your brain to release the other, harmful identities.    On the note of healing, Melissa touches on the idea that many of us feel healing if not for all the pain that they’ve been able to avoid. Fear of your own anger and your own sadness has only hurt your ability to heal, and you owe yourself the healing, the mental freedom, and the mastered mindset. She presses the viewers to act as though their new identities have already become their own realities. She gives many examples of the differences between truths and beliefs.   Later, Melissa shares some stories related to her own struggle with emotional eating and how having the right community is vital to your success. As you rewrite your story, you have to realize that you cannot get there by staying where you are.  You literally need to shift into the paradigm of a new mindset. There is a piece within that is connected to the universe: you need to tap into that piece to transform your mindset.    Melissa saved her own life from cancer by tying herself to a belief system that’s greater. Channeling that energy will solidify the identity you want to take over. Lean into the moments when you’re deflecting, when you’re apologizing—the moments when you lack love for yourself. It’s in these moments that we can turn our minds upside down and become the powerful women we truly are.   Those interested in joining the Weightloss for Life program can apply directly. Melissa works directly with those accepted into the competitive program. She will personally call the first five women accepted.   What You’ll Learn: Who are you without the weight? Three mindset secrets to ditch your hindering mindsets. Burning eradicates the power that ideas have over you, from an energetic standpoint. How to release your emotional connection with food. Words that are positive bring you to your truth. To master your mindset, you “live into who you want to be, not who you are.” You need to break from who you think you are. In order to close the old identities, you need to live out the new one. The difference between the truth and beliefs. “Word I am word” solidifies these truths at the cellular level. Actionable steps to take until the next seminar. How to walk away with your new identity and belief systems. You’re not alone, even if it feels like it. It’s difficult because you’re invested in the struggle. The critical piece of you is going to hold you back, but you have to tether yourself to a  belief system that’s greater. You can find your “witching hour,” typically when you’re alone, and target your  problematic eating behaviors. Constantly apologizing reflects a poor self-image.

In this episode, Melissa unpacks the problem of energy vampires, negative energy, and how we can regain a sense of control over our spiritual lives. She shares some tips about how to identify energy vampires, and she gives some insights into how to better tune in  and clear out your own energies. Melissa explains that your energy can be defended by you  and cleared out, but it’s up to you to do the work by identifying sources, people, places and experiences that detract from you feeling grounded, positive and in alignment with yourself.   Melissa begins by explaining how we are familiar with navigating the ups and downs of our own lives with respect to our own personality types, but how the onset of the pandemic and subsequent racial riots have made it nearly impossible to stay in tune with ourselves. Melissa—and her clients alike—have noticed that the chaos of this time has been reflected in her moods and overall positive energy levels. But because our goal is to be confident in expressing our emotions, we have to understand how to navigate them in a time of crisis.   This navigation involves taking a check of your own mental health and energy levels as well as checking the energy of those around you. This is where the concept of the energy vampire comes in: imagine someone just sucking all the energy out of you. The reality is that energy vampires are real and you have to be aware of how they’re affecting your moods.   One very real example of this energy drainage we’re all experiencing is in the form of the massive amounts of screen time in our lives. Melissa explains what energy vampires are and how to rid your life of them, but first she gives a proper model for how to take stock of your own energies. Understanding how to clear out your own energies is crucial in being able to defend them against the negative forces of the energy vampires.   Melissa breaks down the characteristics of the energy vampires and how they impact the wellbeing of your energies. She empowers her listeners to defend their emotional spaces, pushing back against energy vampires, and creating exits to protect their positive energy.   In conclusion, Melissa shares some hands-on practices for elevating your energy levels by using prayer, speaking directly, and even using gemstones to rid your spaces of negative energies. She also gives some tips and examples of things to clear out your physical and mental spaces—because ultimately, you don’t need to hold onto those energies anymore. Declare good things over your life and defend your good energies.   Brief Outline: Melissa describes her tendency to feel energies and her sense of discernment from as far back as her childhood. We are more connected than ever before, but we are being inundated with different energies. The amount of energy going into digital video is extraordinary—and draining. The exchange of energy online is not clean. We have plenty of reasons to explain our victim consciousness. Pointing the finger at yourself first can actually solve these problems. Be vocal and protective of your energy. It’s very important that you clear your energetic field. Pay attention to how social media is affecting your mood/mental health. Declare that this energy cannot penetrate your energetic space. Different ways to clear your energies. Clear out physical and spiritual clutter to cleanse your energies. What You’ll Learn: If you’re an empath, it’s easy over time and years to become a people pleaser by default. Your goal is to have compassion for yourself; to no longer abandon yourself, your voice or your desires. When you’re on Zoom, you’re on Zoom with thousands of other people, and their energy - this is something to pay attention too and a good opportunity to protect your energy.. How to take stock of your energy: Ideally refrain from meditating with any of your limbs crossed as this blocks energy. Deeply inhale and take a scan of your body starting from your crown chakra to the bottom of your feet with white light. (Melissa guides you through this powerful exercise) Take note of where you feel a block or discomfort as you are energetically scanning your body. You can cut the bad energy out of your life and Melissa speaks to identifying the places in your life to do so.. Accountability removes  victim energy and empowers you to change. A trigger is an unhealed emotional response in the body. Energy vampires are typically categorizes with such attributes: Gossipers Highly critical and judgmental of self and others Frequently angry and surrounded by drama Complaining about the same stories repeatedly Constantly complaining and in a negative space  Easily triggered   Energetically-negative people are to be avoided. Salt water (epsom salts or a salt scrub) can clear your energies. Tourmaline (a black stone) will protect your energy Selenite and Clear Quartz with will connect you with higher realms and divine energy for protection Both can help to clean your energies.      Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/   Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM   Do you have a question, need support or want Melissa to coach you?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Other Relevant Links: Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

Melissa talks about the concept of the “power of intention,” and its ability to help you be a co-creator of your day and therefore your life. This is extremely empowering, especially during a time of such uncertainty.   She goes in-depth helping her listeners to understand the concept Melissa teaches about how we all wear masks, different persona’s of ourselves we’ve intuitively created throughout our lives to support ourselves in varying life situations.     However, as we age, some masks no longer support us because we realize we are hiding our true selves and our desires.  Over time, we can stop expressing our opinions, blocking our emotions and in many cases our dreams and desires, settling for a life, body and relationships that are not what our hearts have really longed for nor what our soul has called us to experience in this life.   These “masks” you’ve developed to help you cope with life, actually end up hurting you, and it can be confusing as you realize you built a life that is not what you really wanted or you’ve been struggling with your weight, career, money or relationships, because you’ve been afraid to be yourself and aren’t even clear on who that woman might be. Most of all the fear of not being accepted if you are true to yourself.   This is where being intentional, allows you to embrace your dreams and allow them to manifest through setting your daily desires in the intention setting practice Melissa shares in today’s episode.   Melissa explains that there is a serious distinction between setting intentions (desires for outcomes) and making to-do lists. Intentionality can fuel all the desires you have, including making healthier eating choices, sleeping more soundly, and being more present in the day.   Brief Outline: Intentionality defined. “Masks,” or ways we learn to cope with the problems of life What if you prepared your meals ahead of time? What’s on your plate? (And who put it there?) Let go of control. Invite in your highest sense of self to be present; remember you are a divine being. The power of intention explained. Get a journal specifically for keeping track of your intention. The pieces of you that try to sabotage yourself are under your control. What You’ll Learn: — Difference between intention and a to-do list. — You’re in control of what you put on your plate. — You can delegate responsibility to release some control. — Intentionality comes from a desire to do something. — To-do lists come more from a “must do” sense. — Your food behavior at bedtime is going to influence the next day. — How to log your intentions into an intention journal. — You can program your subconscious mind to influence the direction for the day.   Key Quotes:   “We don’t need to be at the mercy of everyone.”   “I invite the universe to send miracles my way.” “Life isn’t happening to us, it happens for us.” Links:   Join Melissa’s 1-Day Virtual Event, Align To Your Ideal Body: Elevate To Experience Effortless Weight Loss With Ease!

In today’s episode receive health, mindset and life hacks for the pandemic and beyond as Melissa is interviewed, sharing her expertise with you.   Melissa speaks with Dr. Kellyann Petrucci about how the pandemic has impacted our relationship with food, breaking old habits, and how to advocate for yourself.    Melissa talks about why saying “yes” to a diet is making yourself wrong. They also discuss body image, how weight connects to self-worth, and how to control your environment to create the change you want to see in your life.   Here is an overview of the interview you will hear in today’s Wholeness Podcast from two top leaders in their field: Emotional eating that has surfaced during the pandemic is an opportunity to to make long-term changes. We are seeking to fill a connection. Am I really hungry? What’s going on in my life right now? Ask yourself: Start working on the things you used to shelve as just “hobbies.” Be conscious of what you’re actually doing to enact change. There are practical ways to make these changes. You have to set the example for yourself to take care of yourself. How can women move past the lies about their body image? You are having a human connection to that substance. For many, food has taken on human form. It’s not about will power, but learning what you need emotionally. Get clear on what it is that you really want — because you can do it. What You’ll Learn:  — We need to ask ourselves: “what am I needing?”  — We need pattern interruption to break the wheel.  — Our higher selves are already speaking through our hesitance. — Your mindset of survival is going to pull you back to what’s familiar. — The old paradigm that women need to be “all things to all people” is a lie. — We might be going through an oxytocin deficiency, and we’re looking for that hit. — You’re either in your own “dieter’s prison” or feeling like you’re not good enough. — Any deficiencies you see in yourself, you will look to salve with food. — The 5-5-5 method for birthing a connection to yourself. — Use “mirror work” to really appreciate yourself. — What you’re in control of is your environment.

Whether this time in quarantine has you questioning your career, desiring to pursue your dream, start a new passion or want a new position in your current company, tune in as Melissa share’s how to create your dream career, pursue your passions and make a lot of money while making a difference! Melissa has had several careers, now at a recent age of 42, she was a self-taught designer for over a decade in NYC, fitness competitor, author, TEDx  speaker, International best-selling author, hypnotherapist, master coach,run int. Retreats, group programs, digital course creator,  intuitive, starred in a movie, has her own podcast and feels like she’s just getting started!  In this episode, Melissa Kathryn talks about how to have the mindset to pursue your dreams. Today, she encourages listeners how to achieve their dreams speaking from her own personal, huge mistakes, big wins, what she wishes she’d known and more on the journey to where she is today. Melissa also shares the three foundational building blocks that must be aligned in order to be successful in your own business or as an intra-preneur - one who builds a business within another business.   The first of these 3 pillars that is most important, is your mindset around your self worth. Secondly, you need to understand that your dream is meant for you and is fail-proof as long as you follow your desires and where your higher self is leading you. Thirdly, you must invest in yourself, and view that as the most important investment in your business.  Not just a business coach, but a mindset coach to support your vision.  Any coaches you hire or programs you invest in, it’s imperative they are aligned with your vision for your life, your future and what you’re building.   Melissa encourages you that without establishing these three key points especially in your mindset, you will likely have minimal success with a lot of hard work, striving and struggling.  You can be successful but the journey there will be much different than the one taken by allowing your feminine to drive and your intuition to be your guide. This was a lesson that it took Melissa getting cancer, to see how operating in her masculine 100% of the time, having her coaches vision be stronger than her own and not aligned, was a recipe for working herself into the ground.  And her goal in today’s episode is to awaken any woman going down that path, to the road filled with a lot more fun, ease, flow and financial abundance with a lot less stress and “hard” work.   In continued support of Covid19, Melissa invites you to ward off the Quarantine 15 and join her Wholeness group for daily support and guidance!    Links: Are you interested in joining Love Your Body, Lose The Weight?

In today’s episode Melissa wanted to address many of the messages she’s continually receiving about COVID and how to best survive during this time.   Melissa shares with listeners some key strategies for thriving in the middle of a pandemic, especially with regard to health and wellness. She’s received a lot of responses about how to deal with the new normal, and how not to eat everything in sight, so she developed this plan to help her listeners re-establish the structures necessary to beat this regain a sense of certainty in crisis.   If you’re feeling generally out of control and overwhelmed with the sameness, you need to first create a routine. Make things consistent again to get out of vacation-mode. Take control of your eating. Set hours for your kitchen to curb the endless snacking. Pay attention to what you’re putting in your body, in your mind, etc. Establish meal times. Cooking at home can really help with this. High-nutritional profile foods and whole foods are best. Be mindful about the food that’s in your house. Keep track of whether your eating habits are reactionary. Set yourself up for a successful day by letting yourself get adequate sleep. Break the habits (i.e. screens) that are hindering your ability to get a good night’s sleep. Pay attention to how often you’re moving. We become stagnant when we’re not choosing to move and be creative about our physical activity. Be sure to schedule it first thing. Mapping out the week in advance can be very helpful. Focus on your mindset. Be mindful about what you’re allowing in your mind because they impact every part of your life.  Make intentional connections. Call your friends and family while walking. FaceTime people so you can feel the energy and connection with another person. Schedule phone dates on the weekends to keep your routine and give yourself something to focus on. Consider scheduling watching Netflix with other people. Pay attention to your moods. If you’re spiritual, lean on God’s plan of greater good. Continue to pray if you pray. Let go of the things that haven’t been serving you. Don’t smirch your creativity. Make time for your creative passions.   What You'll learn:   How to Eat to NOT Gain Weight Powerful Morning & Evening Routines Improve Your Sleep How to Make Sure You Move Each Day Find Inner Peace   Key Takeaways:  — Use routine to reinforce certainty.  — You can control your view of this experience.  — Only two human emotions: love and fear.

In this episode, Melissa talks about the link between our emotional state and our tendencies with overeating. It is a fact that most women who have dieted most of their lives, no longer trust their food choices or their bodies, fully disconnected from awareness around their true hunger patterns. Turning to food for comfort and emotional support is a coping mechanism for life and soothing ourselves, that was created from pre-programming or in childhood, and is now being highlighted due to being quarantined and COVID 19.  Melissa shares the reasons why your body is always willing to corroborate with eating right and choosing clean, healthy foods to nourish yourself for a certain dieting period, explaining it’s your mind that needs to believe you’re worthy of the best body in order to treat it and feed it as such.  She gives you four questions that you can write down to ask yourself to evaluate your true state of hunger and emotional wellbeing.   An exercise from Mellissa: You’re going to track your hunger. Sit and write what your hunger is- on a scale of 1-10 write what not being hungry tends to be like. Notice your eating patterns and the time of day that you’re weakest to food. Listen to the full episode,  to learn how to use this quarantine time to your advantage as you put yourself first before everybody else.  You will also learn the right amount of food you need for your specific body to be consuming without overindulging.  What you will learn: Why most women that have dieted don’t know when they’re hungry and how turning to food have become a habit only being highlighted now.  We use food as a coping mechanism from things that are going on in life.  Start a food journal- track your eating habits in the next 2 weeks and recognize times of the day when you’re conditioned to eat. Why you don’t need more willpower or discipline and what you need instead. Melissa explains the in-depth consequences of dieting for a long time.  Why positive thoughts equal positive actions that bring positive results to move forward and succeed. Why most dieters are not connected to their bodies.  The art of eating what you want when you want without overindulging. How our relationship with food stems from conditioning from our formative years- the emotional attachment we have with food.  The big T trauma and small T trauma that helps you form a negative belief system about yourself. These are things that trigger emotional stress when you think of them and drive you towards food. Melissa describes the amount of food your stomach needs. Is your worth tied to your weight? Why you need to believe you’re deserving of a good body to have it.  Four questions you should write down and ask yourself for an emotional gauge and a reconnection with your body.  Overconsumption of food numbs you and disconnects you from hearing your intuitive guide.    There’s still time to Register to Get Your Body Back: Be Lighter, Tighter & Happier in 2 Weeks Free Series: http://melissakathryn.com/getyourbodyback/   To support you even further, Melissa is offering for a limited time the chance for you to get a support coaching session with her.

In continued support during COVID 19, Melissa stresses the importance of taking care of your “environment” i.e. your home, head, mind, body and spirit.  She explains that now more than ever, things that are working in your life are being illuminated and things that haven’t been working or unhealed wounds are being triggered and illuminated as well, and now is the opportunity to heal them and clear them. She is here to guide and support you in this being an amazing and enjoyable journey of self-discovery and coming back to Wholeness. Another way she has found to support you is through guided meditations and she has another one here for you today.   But first, Melissa encourages listeners about their mindset during this time in the world. She underscores that you get to choose your experience, and we are being called to what matters most in life: human connection. She walks listeners  through practical ways to reframe their thinking in order to be victors instead of victims. There are two paths you can choose, one is based on fear and the other is based on love.  One will place you as the victim and the other as the victor of your circumstance. You have the option and right now, the paths are very clear and she helps you to identify which one you have been following and what changes you can make. After encouraging listeners, Melissa shares some tried and true reading recommendations from her own bookshelf for others to enjoy while spending time at home. She then guides a meditation to help calm the body and relax the mind.  Today’s guided meditation is to help you release fear and choose love, grounding you and relaxing you, to de-stress and honor all you feel and your inner most desires, bringing them close to your heart and seeing them as yours. While Melissa understands the effect of the virus all around us, her passion is for you to wade these waters via connection with your body rather than your mind.  As always, feel free to share your questions and please share this episode with your episodes in order to help as many people as possible right now.

In this live video podcast, Melissa provides support during the uncertainty and chaos of coronavirus. This time at home, in different routines, and without the busyness of our normal schedules is an opportunity for an energetic upgrade and cleansing. It’s time to connect with your body, come back to being human and support yourself in the present moment. Melissa reminds us that this is the perfect time to use our feminine way of being, not doing. Slow down and support yourself, rejecting the voice in your mind that says you aren’t worthy or that you need to accomplish something to consider yourself a good person. Instead, this is your opportunity to clarify what you want for yourself and identify ways of being that aren’t working for you.  As uncertain as this time may be, use it for good by getting back to what matters most: human connection and enjoying all the facets of life, no matter what you feel called to.   What You’ll Learn:   Mindless eating and connecting to your body This is time for an energetic upgrade  The call to come back to being human Listen to your body’s eating pattern Take the opportunity for human connection and enjoying nature Be present and don’t get caught in fear of the future Support yourself  Don’t give yourself one more project Your worth is not tied to what you do Let go of the voice that tells you that you aren’t worthy Allow your imagination to run wild during activities of being   Links: Join the LOVE YOUR BODY, LOSE THE WEIGHT Free Online Challenge: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/extravaganza/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Instagram: @melissa.kathryn Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Application to Coach with Melissa Kathryn: https://bit.ly/31s0jZD

In this episode, Melissa Kathryn talks about Coronavirus from a place of support to help you feel grounded, positive and safe in when the world may feel unsafe and times are uncertain. She begins with a meditation to ground you in, and calm the body. Melissa offers that this time is an opportunity to shift from the perspective of quarantine to one of opportunity. She encourages listeners to recognize triggers and use this time to go higher within themselves and transcend these limiting beliefs or triggers around them and within themselves.  This up-leveling includes tuning out negative messages, media and those in your life prone to fear based and lack thinking, to instead embrace how to make good memories for your family and yourself, while focusing inward on what serves you and others better.   This is a time out from the normal chaos of life, and time to tune in to what you have needed for a long time, if given the chance to slow down. While Melissa understands the personal effect of this virus from the impact on her own family, her desire is for you to wade these waters via connection with your body rather than your mind.  As always, feel free to contact her with your thoughts or questions on this episode.  What You’ll Learn:     Receive a  guided meditation to relax, restore and calm your body     Recognize triggers that are your default and learn how to transcend them ●      Learn how  to embrace this time as an opportunity to best serve yourself and others   Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Instagram: @melissa.kathryn Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Application to Coach with Melissa Kathryn: https://bit.ly/31s0jZD

In this episode, Melissa Kathryn makes it clear, we all have trauma in some form.  And the lack of addressing it is doing way more harm than good. We can’t keep brushing areas of our lives and ourselves we fear, under the carpet, out of fear we won’t like what we find or who we are.  In fact, Melissa shares the immense damage being done by not giving yourself the grace, love and time to know all facets of yourself. And to this point, that this lack of knowing and accepting oneself and understanding how life events impacts us on a deep, cellular level, is one of the main reasons why, as women we continue to self-sabotage. Melissa talks about trauma being stored in the body including sexual trauma and how it correlates to struggles with weight. She explores the different types of trauma and how they get stored in the body, the purpose they have,  followed by an exercise to release it. Melissa also shares personal testimony from her own life, and experiences she’s encountered while working with clients over the past decade, whom have had trauma and the damage that was being done from them not having understood the impact it was making on them, their health and well being by not acknowledging it as such nore understanding how to heal and relate to the traumatic experiences in their lives.  The discounting of such event causes these experiences to manifest in forms of illness, disordered eating, lack of beliefs in oneself and a deep seated belief that in some way, you are broken or “not enough”.   Melissa is extremely passionate about this topic, encouraging listeners to identify patterns and to take time to experience healing from core wounds to eradicate any further sadness or dis-ease in the body.  By doing this work and making changes, she highlights that you will gain a beautiful and powerful connection with your body, develop trust, remove fear and be free.

Melissa shares with listeners simple steps for approaching anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic procrastination in a way that will lead to whole body wholeness rather than feeding into the cycle of those tendencies. The first thing to remember is that these feelings originate in your mind, which is set up to always keep you safe, and the answer is to get grounded within yourself and seek the answers from your body. It is often quite difficult to overcome the mindsets that have been programmed in us by our circumstances or by the feelings and needs of our inner child, but a good way to start is with these steps: Know that you will never have a question that your body does not know the answer to. Consider whether you are taking the time to look inward and whether you are trusting the guidance you receive there. Accept that there is nothing wrong with you. You are and can only be right, no matter what your mind tries to tell you about the different parts of yourself. There is so much pressure on women to look, act, talk, and think the “right” way, but there is nothing wrong with you when you are connected to your higher self. Get in touch with your inner child. She has set up these beliefs and narratives for some reason, so take some time with her to find out what she needs. Sit with one hand on your heart and one hand on your womb and ask her what she needs and then affirm that she is safe, that you are safe. When you have had enough time talking with your inner child, merge the parts of yourself by rubbing your arms and legs, recoding your thinking and confirming that you are safe to be and to feel.   What You’ll Learn: Overcoming anxiety, overwhelm, and procrastination Listening to the answers of your body Seeing your anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic procrastination as a gift Tactical, practical, and spiritual wholeness Looking inward Links: Join the LOVE YOUR BODY & LOSE THE WEIGHT Free Online Challenge: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/loveyourbody/ Books Referenced in Today’s Episode:  “The Body Keeps the Score” book: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748  Byron Katie’s work: https://thework.com/  Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Connect with Melissa Kathryn on Instagram: @melissa.kathryn Join MK’s Exclusive FREE Online Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Receive additional FREE trainings with Melissa Kathryn on Youtube Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com Application to Coach with Melissa Kathryn: https://bit.ly/31s0jZD

It’s never too late to get the body of your dreams & heal your relationship with food.  It’s never too late to change, to become who you’re meant to be.  Melissa passionately shares about this in her own experience of aging backwards. Today she brings you a special guest, who is a beautiful example and testament to this, and what Melissa teaches in her Weight Loss For Life Program, now called Love Your Body Lose The Weight. This episode  is dedicated to all women, who have the misguided belief that they are too old to get the body, too old to change or start over, or go for their dreams.     Melissa spotlights Roxanne from her Weight Loss for Life community,  sharing that Roxanne is on “the other side” of the food/weight loss journey. Roxanne discusses her journey, which began as a chronic dieter for a large part of her life leading to now which involves loving herself and seeing food as a means to take care of her body, the temple. Melissa explores with Roxanne how her weight loss journey led her to have immense  joy in her daily life and be the inspiration and example for her children and their children.  Roxanne shares her old identity with food and relationships vs. her identity now- she now knows her worth, doesn’t see people as higher than her and speaks up for herself with confidence and in love. In addition, she found the Weight Loss for Life community to be full of beautiful ladies and wonderful support.  In conclusion, Melissa and Roxanne encourage you that you, too, are worth it and invite you to become part of this meaningful community of support, accountability and success. As a result, you will break free from the normal weight loss molds and experience freedom that you have never experienced.  What You’ll Learn:     What it means to get to the other side of this weight loss journey     The 4 Cs of lasting weight loss     Practical tips from Weight Loss for Life that lead to success   Links:   Application to Coach with Melissa Kathryn: https://bit.ly/31s0jZD  Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Melissa Kathryn’s Instagram: @melissa.kathryn Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Follow Melissa on Youtube for additional Videos Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In this episode, Melissa Kathryn talks about falling in love with fitness. She starts off reading a poem she wrote to her body and shares about her journey of finding the gift in being fit and how she created a fit identity which she’s embodied for the past 22 years. Melissa begins with the story of her childhood identity with not being an athlete or fit, in fact, her brother’s were the star soccer players and she was, as she describes herself, average at everything. Melissa shares how our beliefs create our identity and she was sick and tired of feeling “less than” because of her weight and wanted a new identity, one she felt proud of.   She shares how her patterns and behavior followed suit whether she was choosing to be overweight and out of shape or fit and strong, and this was the beginning of her connecting to her body, mind and soul in a way she never had or even knew was possible.    Falling in love with fitness evolved into finding strength and self love for herself that has lasted a lifetime and she spurred her love for holistic nutrition, mastering your mindset and is what birthed her thriving business - helping other women do the same. Melissa focuses on the healthy balance of fitness and food. She warns of the cycle of falling into dieting and fitness as a coping mechanism and teaches you how to assess your relationship with movement and food. From there, Melissa encourages you to allow your body to guide you what is right for you. In conclusion, Melissa recommends some fun tips to start each day to shift you into the mindset of loving movement, and your body, in turn.

We want to do everything we can to feed this temple.” “Look at your relationship to movement.” “I found my strength and lost my way and began receiving accolades.

“The #1 way to combat overwhelm is to be in action.” - MK “Overwhelm keeps you disconnected, keeps you playing small and keeps you doubting yourself.” “Get out of overwhelm by taking immediate action. Get out of your head and get into your body. Go back to your breath.” In this episode, Melissa Kathryn dives straight into how to overcome overwhelm. After noticing a consistent theme in her community and among her clients, Melissa feels it important to address this topic collectively for women so they can get out of their own way and into inspired action.  If you find yourself never having enough time and paralyzed with your endless list of “To Do's” which inevitably leads to self sabotage, Melissa shares how to get out of this state and break the pattern for good. The most successful way to combat overwhelm is to step into action. If you’re experiencing feelings of anxiousness, fear or worry, self-doubt, stress and feeling ungrounded, Melissa encourages you to stop what you are doing immediately. Pause, and take a deep, deep breathe, placing one hand on your heart and one of your belly to get out of your head and connect back into your body. Melissa breaks down what the state of overwhelm is, why it is your body’s response and symptomatic pattern to deal with life. She encourages listeners where to begin taking action, how to simplify their list of To Do’s, manage their priorities along with their expectations of themselves. In conclusion, Melissa emphasizes that recognizing patterns of overwhelm and breaking the cycle will result in freedom from limited, small thinking that sells oneself short. She challenges listeners to be expectant of the best and to be decisive with every decision that is presented. The end result?  “Clear intention + Inspired action will yield desired result.”   What You’ll Learn:     Identifying overwhelm and breaking the patterns that cause it     Understanding the importance of taking action and where to start     Freeing yourself from limited beliefs and thinking small     Empowering yourself to make decisions and the changes needed in your response to life Connecting to your higher self for guidance and calming resolution from your overwhelm     Weight Loss for Life: http://melissakathryn.com/weightlossforlife-program/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Melissa Kathryn’s Instagram: @melissa.kathryn Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Follow Melissa on Youtube for additional Videos Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In this episode, Melissa Kathryn is excited to share the things she’s worked through in her own life as a means to help women struggling with the same conditions including thyroid disease, cancer, sibo, gastrointestinal issues, IBS, autoimmune disease and more. She shares through a conversation she recently had with a client and finds it a gift to make an impact in the lives of others. First, Melissa explores the identity we have with illness. As women, we tend to take on identities and then build the story around them. Women also tend to put themselves last on their priority list which makes it impossible to identify symptoms in their new normal- a high stress environment. Melissa encourages listeners to notice the identity in a non-self sabotaging way through three simple steps. In the journey to wholeness, Melissa compares the difference between self rejection, self sabotage, deprivation and fear which leads to shame and isolation versus loving yourself which leads to freedom and a supply of joy. Her goal is for listeners to be in a space where you are whole and healed through the simple three step process of identifying where you are limiting yourself, discovering where you began to give up and learning to check in with yourself on a regular basis.  In conclusion, Melissa invites listeners to begin this work now, wherever you may find yourself.  Please share with her your personal story of how this coaching works by emailing the address below. As always, she would value your positive review and for you to share this episode with anyone you know that may be suffering.    What You’ll Learn:     Identifying the definition you give to suffering and the story with which you surround it     Understanding how the body works to protect itself and how you can free patterns that aren’t serving you well     Shifting thought patterns from being a victim to being a victor     Learning the importance of loving yourself vs. living in fear     Living as a whole and healed person   Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

On this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn talks with her dear friend Cherie about her experience going through the Weight Loss for Life program. Before Cherie started working with Melissa through Weight Loss for Life, she struggled with crippling anxiety and an unhealthy relationship with food, which left her always searching for the next best way to lose weight. Emotional eating was something she started doing early in her childhood to deal with difficult situations at home, but she didn’t think there was anything she could do about it. Additionally, anxiety had become her security blanket throughout her life, shielding her from emotions which could make her feel unsafe – or so her mind had led her to believe. Cherie knew that Weight Loss for Life would be different when Melissa called her to get her started on the program and kept in touch with her all along the way. Once she got into the program, she realized that the first step before any external changes could occur was to work on her own mindset, healing internally the things that had been broken and hidden from everyone – even herself – for so long. She learned to love herself, to trust herself, to speak her truth, and to get grounded every morning through a morning practice. Before long, she felt like a brand new version of herself, which was really just the authentic version that had been inside all along. Now, Cherie gets to wake up every morning truly loving herself, having a fantastic relationship with her husband, enjoying food in moderation without feeling guilty, and being able to express the wide range of her emotions without fear of what people will think of her. Everyone around her has noticed a drastic change. Now Cherie is working on her certification to become a life coach because she wants to help other people find what she has found. She wants others to become alright with taking up space and being seen because she knows first-hand what it is like to beat herself down and struggle without this recognition.   What You’ll Learn:     Experiencing and expressing emotions in a great way     Learning to trust yourself     Cherie’s key takeaways from the Weight Loss for Life program     How Cherie experienced internal healing that changed her life     Enjoying family and food, rather than feeling guilty or anxious   Key Points: “I am in awe of this woman. She inspires me, motivates me, and has been such an absolute blessing in my life and just such a gift to the rest of the community.” “I liked to hide behind food a lot.” “Anxiety used to be my security blanket. I can now feel it and let it go, thanking it for serving its purpose.” “You have helped me to figure out that I don’t need medication.” “Food was a comfort for me. It was one of the emotions that let me feel safe.” “I have a morning affirmation where I get grounded and I set my intention.” “You don’t need to be perfect because there is no such thing. Just doing something is perfect.” “I needed something different, and this was different than anything I’d done.” “Once I loved me, everyone else loved me so much more.” “I will never stop learning and growing and doing.”   Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

In this episode, Melissa Kathryn welcomes the new decade, 2020, and the opportunity to create who we want to be. She opens by sharing one of her Dad’s thoughts about how to have power when you speak followed by a trend she’s noticing to run from 2019. She shares a personal story of hardship in 2019 and underscores that we must take 2019’s lessons with us into the New Year, including tips on how to make 2020 an epic year. First, Melissa encourages listeners to give themselves the grace, compassion, love and honor of all they’ve experienced in 2019. She highlights that you must break out of your old mold which includes embracing every aspect of yourself and involves “shadow work.” Be excited that you did the best you could with 2019, and if not, be honest with yourself about where you could have done more and be excited for that opportunitty now.  Melissa then asks listeners to examine what kind of growth they would like in 2020 and to narrow it down to two words. She gives an example of her own words, “generosity” and “expression.” By generosity, she means generous in time, spirit, listening and more. She wants to make an impact with that generous spirit, pass it on and for you to pass it on. By expression, she means to look inside herself and not see the impact she wants to make as an obligation but rather an absolute gift and honor. Next, Melissa challenges listeners to think of where they want to be a year from now and break it down into every area of their life - spiritually, relationships, career, creativity, body/health/fitness, home, financial, etc. What are the biggest pieces and what do you want for yourself? Stretch yourself and take realism out of the equation. Write down your goals  and then your stretch goals. Then, take the action steps to get you to the stretch goal. Begin by writing an “I am, I have” story and then, record it on the voice memo on your phone. Listen to it in the morning and at night in order to repattern your mind and plant the seeds.  In conclusion, Melissa recaps the invitation for stepping into Wholeness in 2020 and what that means. She’d love to hear your personal theme words and what you’re most excited about in the decade ahead!   What You’ll Learn:   3 Prong Process for creating an epic 2020! Identifying one to two words that will be your them for the new year     Diagramming each area of your life in a pie including goals and stretch goals for each area that you’d like to be completed one year from now     Recognizing the importance of not playing small but going big as a birthright, asking for more from life and expecting it     Clear intention + Inspired action will yield your desired result     Stepping into wholeness is freedom and abundance on the other side of struggle   Links: Weight Loss for Life: http://melissakathryn.com/weightlossforlife-program/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Melissa Kathryn’s Instagram: @melissa.kathryn : @melissa.kathrynWholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Follow Melissa on Youtube for additional Videos Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Me

Have you ever felt hopeless - around your body, weight loss and just fed up with the struggle in life in general?  Like everything was going wrong in your life and that everything was wrong with you - especially with your body and your inability to lose weight and keep it off, no  matter how hard you tried?  On this special episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa interviews Jen, a recent alumni from her Weight Loss For Life Program, where Jen shares her story of hopeless to being a rockstar at life, with newfound body confidence, weight loss, reignited a spark in her marriage, thriving business and more -  what worked for her! Tune in now to hear the exact steps she took to turn it all around! Jen, is an amazing woman - you feel the love between she and Melissa and the powerful transformation she had in the last 9 months in every area of her life, starting with her weight.  Jen shares the age-old story of bouncing back and forth from this diet to diet, weight loss plan to weight loss plan to the point of exhaustion, before she tried the 5-day Food Freedom Challenge. During that week, Jen learned for the first time about her hunger levels and what hunger felt like in her body. This concept was so new and groundbreaking for her that she decided to take the leap and sign up for the Weight Loss for Life program. She expected the program to prescribe a specific diet and exercise plan to follow, just like every other program, but she was pleasantly surprised when she realized that the main focus of Weight Loss for Life, begins with building a relationship with yourself.  Jen had never understood what it meant to love and appreciate herself, to know what her body needed, or to recognize when she was and wasn’t hungry. Melissa’s teaching through the program opened her eyes to her necessity to work on herself holistically, not solely focusing on her weight loss goals. In fact, even though, that was why she started the program, by the time she was making enough positive changes for people to notice a difference in her appearance, she really had no idea how much weight she had lost because that was no longer the most important thing to her - she was happy and felt WHOLE. Now, Jen is confident in her own body, she is connecting more with her husband than ever before, she is going through life without judgment, they are able to travel more as a family, and her business has grown more than she expected. She is now so connected to her own body that she knows what she needs and wants and she is aligned with her higher self. She wants every woman out there who is struggling with their weight, that feels helpless or that they are always going to struggle - to know there is another way, a better way, a program that really works. That is was never about her weight and the last thing she or any woman needs is another diet. Jen encourages you to please know that change is possible and you will not regret your investment in yourself! If you do not invest in Weight Loss For Life, then please, she encourages, find a program that is holistic and gets to the root of the issue - because it’s never about just the weight or food or just exercise.  It’s so much more and Melissa knows this, is an expert and teaches it!   What You’ll Learn:       Jen’s journey with the Weight Loss for Life program       Finding your own voice       Making a holistic life change       Start with loving yourself and see the incredible results       Writing your New Story    Links: Weight Loss for Life: http://melissakathryn.com/weightlossforlife-program/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Melissa Kathryn’s Instagram: @melissa.kathryn : @melissa.kathrynWholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Follow Melissa on Youtube for additional Videos Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

When Melissa introduces Rose, Rose shares her background of what led her to Weight Loss for Life, which was a lifelong battle of gaining and losing weight along with a lack self-worth that caused her to struggle with her dreams as an artist.  Rose is an RN specializing in Palliative Care and is beginning to coach individual’s as an End of Life consultant on the heals of a major loss in her life which is shared more deeply in this episode. She is also a musician, singer and actress. Melissa explores with Rose how her weight impacted her creative work and reveals the rebirthing journey over the nine month program of Weight Loss for Life.  Rose shares her old identity vs. her identity now- she now knows her worth and no longer has to question that. Her whole life she has struggled with depression and a melancholy spirit, and as the youngest of a large family, her weight loss has helped her “grow up.”  Rose  continues to share a personal story of a very special friendship over the past nine months and how the beauty of that relationship has shown her who she is and of what she is capable. In addition, she found the Weight Loss for Life community to be meaningful accountability and support that she greatly needed during a difficult time Melissa shares how she watched Rose take something heartbreaking and used tools to unfold and transcend her difficult loss into a rebirthing of a new passion in her life that will help so many. Melissa asks Rose to share with other women that are widows, have lost someone they love, are struggling with weight or “playing small in their life,” how she “slapped a smile on” when inside she was binging and not so good and needed to recognize she deserved more.  Rose echoes that Weight Loss for Life helped her believe in who she is and recognize her crazy thoughts that were filling her mind. She also shares her favorite tools from the program. In conclusion, Melissa and Rose emotionally celebrate that Rose’s journey has ultimately led her to love herself and she is going to continue the Weight Loss for Life journey as an accountability partner for her sister.  If you feel hopeless or like what you want is too far from you.  It’s not.

This week on the Wholeness Podcast, Melissa dives into inner child work, breaking down 3 simple forms for you to do this work on your own. Healing our inner child, connecting with her and partnering with her in our lives, are one of the most profound aspects of inner work we can do to heal, breakthrough and transcend limiting beliefs, hardships and any unhealed elements in our lives and from our past that are impacting our present.   Melissa Kathryn emphasizes that this is some of the most profound work you can do in terms of your inner healing and understanding the depth of who you are. She shares her background on this topic through her study of psychology and self development, while coaching herself with some of the best of the best in these fields.” She begins by painting a visual from a movie, Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, which sets the stage to explore woundedness, coping mechanisms and relational triggers this holiday season.   Melissa shares the importance of healing from childhood situations that caused us to feel pain and sadness. If not, we will continue to relive those experiences and respond accordingly even as adults. The inner child will show up at different stages and ages during pivotal points of our life which will trigger those core wounding responses. She then explains why and how cultivating a relationship with your inner child will get to the root of negative thinking and repeat patterns. Melissa challenges you to journal (similarly to channeled writing), meditate or do a chair exercise as healing modalities to provide you with a deeper connection with yourself and to cultivate a relationship with your inner child beyond the subconscious level of the “fight or flight” response. As you do this, she invites you to identify patterns and discover the very first time you began to feel those primary feelings at a young age and were left to your own devices. Through identifying these primary limiting beliefs that are blocking you, understanding the feelings associated with that belief and letting it go, you will become whole and free. She then walks you through how each exercise works. In conclusion, Melissa explains how unhealed wounding manifests and that as you cultivate this connection while tackling limiting beliefs, you will open up the world to your healing, experience the depths of love in a greater capacity than you’ve ever known, and develop trust in yourself which will be powerful for you. She encourages you to love yourself and give yourself the grace and space needed through this process.    What You’ll Learn:     Understanding how childhood woundedness effects adulthood reactions     Identifying repeat patterns and negative thoughts that are triggers     Cultivating a relationship with your inner child through three exercises     Healing from the root of the primary belief     Links: Whole for the Holidays link:  http://melissakathryn.com/wholeholiday Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                      Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Louise Hay Biography and Manuscripts: https://www.hayhouse.com/authorbio/louise-hay/ Follow Melissa on Youtube for additional Videos Here: https://bit.ly/34rqlM Have Questions, Need Support or Want Melissa to Coach You?  E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com

On this episode of the Wholeness Podcast, Melissa Kathryn dives deep about releasing perfectionism to learn self-love, self-worth, and happiness. Many successful women find themselves bound to the notion of perfectionism; the constant judgement of themselves against the idea of perfection.    Melissa reminds us that putting in the work to battle perfectionism, self-judgement and that negative voice in your head,  benefits everyone: your spouse,partner, family, co-workers, children and most of all yourself.  This act leads to peace; when you are happy with yourself, you are less apt to lose patience with those around you. Melissa clearly breaks down the two types of trauma, and gives tools to help rewrite the story, so as to not internalize it but use it to heal, grow and transcend your current reality.   You are enough! You are worthy of all good things.   What You’ll Learn in this week’s episode are:       Two types of trauma: How to acknowledge what you have experienced and not have it own you.        How to rewrite your trauma or challenging life (self) story; knowing it had nothing to do with you and you’re behaviours were actually gifts of protection not pain.         How to deeply own that you are enough - NOW.        Why you are worthy of all good things. When we don’t feel worthy, we turn to destructive things to fill the void.   In this episode you are also asked to sit with these questions:   What am I ready to get rid of?   What am I ready to change?   What is no longer serving me?    In diving inward you’ll find your freedom and, the inner peace, joy and flow you’ve been desiring!       Links: Whole for the Holidays link: http://melissakathryn.com/wholeholiday Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Melissa Kathryn’s Instagram: @melissa.kathryn

The topic of this episode of the Wholeness podcast is gratitude, specifically how to break free from negativity to become a mega attractor. Melissa Kathryn shares, from her own journey, the profound ways that intentionally choosing gratitude every day impacted her mental and spiritual experiences while she was going through the hardest time of her life. She wants you to settle in and apply what she learned to your own life and situation, and be open to what will come of this decision. Years ago, when Melissa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, she decided not to let her circumstances get the best of her, but rather spend time every morning writing down at least 5 things she was grateful for. She found that she often wrote down more than 5 things, and this attitude of gratitude led her seamlessly into a time of meditation and connection with herself and the divine. Even though she was going through so many negative things, she was able to transcend her circumstances to experience unparalleled alignment with her highest self. Melissa challenges you, her community, to buy yourself a nice journal that speaks to you and create a gratitude practice. There is no formula for this practice, and if you find it difficult to find time for yourself during the day, you might consider waking up earlier than normal to start your day with gratitude. You will be amazed by the rippling effects of this practice on the rest of your day. What You’ll Learn: Breaking free from negativity Choosing gratitude to make hardships your greatest gifts Beginning a gratitude practice Connecting back in to your highest self Understanding the power of gratitude for co-creating your life   Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Louise Hay Biography and Manuscripts: https://www.hayhouse.com/authorbio/louise-hay/

Melissa Kathryn speaks to the art of owning your voice, stepping into your power, by cultivating your own truth and sharing it in this profound episode of the Wholeness podcast.     Melissa recognizes that today, more than ever, we as women need to hone  the power of self-expression for women, especially during this progressive time in the women’s movement for equality.     In this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa shares her own struggles with using her voice, speaking her truth and sharing her gifts and how this is something she sees women of all ages struggle with and the negative implications on their health, wealth, relationships, careers and more.   She explains the reason for this episode is because if women don’t start taking a stand for themselves and their desires, sharing their truths, and begin to own and practice this daily, it can result in illness, depression and other negative manifestations in the body and life.    Because when we are not in our souls expression as women, we are cutting off our access to the divine and our zone of genius, our point of ease and flow.  Tune in NOW to get the full episode!   As women, Melissa encourages her community to take their power back, take up space, start to be seen, use your voice to be heard, your opinions matter because they are yours- they are meant to be voices and acknowledged...by you!   To dive even deeper into self-expression, join Emily Utters’ online event, Expressed AF.  Melissa Kathryn and other powerhouse women will join Emily to speak boldly about their truth and owning the power of their worth.  Join the event through the link below.    Women currently make up the majority of the workforce, it is vital that women step into their truth, own their voice, and share that with others.    Melissa transparently shares her feelings from childhood about the fear of being “too much.”  She walks us through getting over this fear, and teaches us that it is ok to take up space, all while learning to not overuse the phrase “I’m sorry.”    It’s important to ask for help and support, to have your needs met, and to live in your worth.    Melissa challenges you to see how often you say “I’m sorry”, to receive a compliment without feeling the need to reciprocate, and to complement and celebrate as many women as you can.    What You’ll Learn:       Learn the power that comes from not saying “I’m sorry” all of the time, and how to replace it with words or phrases that don’t reinforce that your opinion doesn’t matter.       Pinpointing how you were raised, and what your stance on self-expression was while growing up.       How to impower yourself with the gift of “taking up space.”       How to determine if when you’re placing judgment on others, if that’s really a manifestation of judging yourself.       How to accept a compliment without having to say something complimentary in return.    Links: Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/                                                                                                                              Sign up link: Expressed AF: https://ek325.isrefer.com/go/EAF15/MFarley/ Melissa Kathryn’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk Wholeness with Melissa Kathryn Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Louise Hay Biography and Manuscripts: https://www.hayhouse.com/authorbio/louise-hay/ E-mail:  support@melissakathryn.com   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

In this episode of the wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn talks about breaking limiting belief systems within us that have been running the show for most of our lives, without us fully realizing we made decisions and take specific actions, guided from these specific beliefs...but are they real?    Most of us are unaware of the beliefs we have about ourselves, our gifts and what’s possible, which in turn affects how we show up in the world. Beliefs either hurt us or help us, which she perfectly explains by giving an example In her life, where she had the belief that she was “too much” to successful, too independent and too strong for the romantic relationship she ultimately had desired. Tune in to hear more about this topic and to be guided through the exact formula you can use today, to break free from any limiting beliefs that are currently running the show in your life, and Melissa will also guide you through how to create new, awesome beliefs that will support your goals, dreams and desires!    The first step is to be aware of the beliefs that are no longer serving you, then go through the process of deconstructing then reconstructing them to better serve you. This process can also be found in her blog and detailed in today’s episode.   First, Melissa explains to identify a belief that you would like to change, then ask yourself where it originated from, what was the earliest memory that cemented this as a belief for you. Then ask yourself -  whose voice it came from,meaning, was the belief driven from your internal thoughts or from a parent, teacher, sibling or friend?    We are a collection of words, stories and beliefs, our own perception of an experience.  Some stories and words are from those we care about most and became internalized for us. Melissa provides many examples of this in today’s episode to help you apply this to your own life.   Once you identified the origin of the belief, then we ask ourselves, is it our voice or someone else’s belief that we have taken on as our own. Melissa gave an example from her family, that happy people are married people with children.  That is a belief from her parents that became one for her that as she explained cast a negative tone on her life and all she had accomplished for many years until she realized it was not her belief, and from there she was able to create her own belief and one that brought her joy, not made her feel less than for not having experienced that in her life to date.    After that, you’re instructed to do the 5-5-5 breathwork created by Melissa, where you breathe in for five, suspend for five, then exhale for five counts for a minimum of two rounds and a maximum of ten. This process is so you can access the heart, which is proven to be a powerful access point to the subconscious mind, without conscious mind interference.  This will enable you to get to the source of the belief, then rewrite it as you would like it to be. This is a powerful and life-changing process.     Melissa is particularly passionate to address food beliefs, since the holiday season is around the corner and 99% of us have emotional response triggers associated with food and our families due to our lives and cultures. She urges us to take care of our bodies and not use the holidays as an excuse to let go of our goals and what makes us feel our best.    Eating right, exercising and above all self-love and gratitude should be the priority in our lives always.

“Where there’s lack you will fill the gaps with X”.  X can be overspending, overeating, binging on TV or social media, overdrinking...you name it.  The X is the numbing agent we use to not look at what the driving force of our unhappiness or lack of fulfillment is derived from.     Melissa goes in depth about the process she created called the MK Method, which is the exact method she teaches in her signature program Weight Loss For Life.  Melissa explains that she had to really dive deep in her quest to be done with dieting, free from food, negative self-talk and emotional eating and had to look at the gaps in her own life and belief system within herself.   Since Melissa used food to cope with life and numb out - she knew inside that there was something greater calling her forward, more that she was meant for - this was overwhelming as was her fear of not being enough.    This lack in all of us stems from a place of fear, and from lack that existed in her life.  In turn, spiraling into self-sabotaging thought patterns and behaviors. What felt safe to Melissa at the time, was the discomfort of her comfort zone - (binging, beating herself up and then another diet), and not living up to her potential.   In this powerful episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa guides you through this exact process - a part of her MK Method, and helps you to not only identify your gaps, but she shows you how to fill them and inspires you to step into your Wholeness, your power and emerge the badass that you are!   Melissa reminds us that there are only two human emotions: love and fear.  When operating from love, everything is available. When operating from fear, we live in lack and fill our lives, the gaps with numbing agents that don’t serve us and keep us small.   Melissa urges you to let go of whatever is stopping you from finding your full freedom, by taking control of your story.   Tune in now for incredible clarity,  inspiration and motivation to take aligned action today!    What You’ll Learn:       How to identify your gaps/lack and fill them.       Learn how to break your cycles of self-sabotage.        Identify what your soul is calling you and how to take action toward your fear today      Links: 50% off link: *weightlossforlife-program Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

If you’ve ever felt that you don’t have the capacity to stick with a goal or follow through on a dream, this episode of the Wholeness podcast is for you. Melissa Kathryn wants you to settle in to listen to all that she has to offer during the next 30 minutes, including the keys to attaining your goals and dreams, while the finding happiness and fulfillment you’ve been seeking.   Your mind is set up to keep you safe and in your comfort zone, living into the patterns and habits you’ve been following - i.e. you will continue to experience the exact same results or little increases of success but never fully achieve the greatness you desire - operating from this place.    Your heart on the other hand is your key to access not only, your inner most desires, but the roadmap to having them, while giving you the motivation to step out of that comfort zone to create the life you want to live.    Many people neglect the privilege of co-creating their lives with the universe and choosing every day which path they want to take in pursuit of the juicy lives they’ve been dreaming of. Being awakened to something different and then having the fortitude to let go of your ego to pursue it is a better way of being.   Melissa reminds you of her self created, go-to mantra..    “Clear intention + Inspired Action = Your Desired Result”   Combine this mantra with Melissa’s 4 C’s of working towards goals and dreams are: Commitment, Consistency, Compassion, and Connection. Having a “why” and choosing every day to take steps towards it even when you don’t feel like it will eventually get you much farther than you ever could have gotten by maintaining the status quo and believing self-limiting things that your mind tells you. By thinking about the life you want to have, you can start to envision yourself there and live into those good feeling thoughts.   The exercise that Melissa recommends on this topic is: write down your goal, think about what feelings you will have when you achieve the goal, sit with those feelings, and then either picture a memory or visualize what it would be like to feel that way. When this feeling overtakes your body, you have become a vibrational match for the feelings of achieving the goal and it is as if you have already completed it. All of a sudden, your dream or goal seems much more attainable and you are in a better space to make progress. Another way to think about this is to be, then to do, then to have.   What You’ll Learn:       How to stay committed       Co-creating your life with the universe       The 4 C’s: commitment, consistency, compassion, and connection       Matching the vibrations you want       Becoming the woman you want to be     Links: Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule: https://melrobbins.com/blog/the-5-second-rule/ Wholeness community Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/ Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

Building on the principles Melissa Kathryn has imparted to her listeners over the past weeks and months, the time has come in the journey to talk about being in the present moment and listening to divine guidance. Melissa emphasizes the importance of meditation and being connected to your body in order to tap into that universal guidance that is within each one of us, if we are willing to set aside what we think we should be doing or thinking, in exchange for choosing to feel good and letting that influence all areas of life.   Through complete gratitude and appreciation, you can transcend your circumstances and find your vibrational match in the present moment. Many, if not most, struggle with being in the present moment because of their preoccupation with the past or the future, either dwelling on what has happened to them in the past that “made them this way” or focusing on what might happen in the future. Both scenarios bring negative energy into the present moment, and keep you from experiencing your true power and living into the joy that is available to you right now.   Let go of the narratives that others have told you or you have told yourself about how things should be and make yourself a priority, releasing any guilt that you may feel for putting yourself first and realizing that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Choose and create your thoughts and realities and shape how other people will perceive you by believing the best about yourself and being a “yes” to life. A huge part of this process is giving yourself intentional space to seek divine guidance and hear what the universe wants to tell you.   Melissa challenges all of you to keep a journal by your bed and write down the questions that you have for the universe every night, then spend some time meditating on those questions every day and follow up with yourself by writing down the answers you receive. This process in itself is therapeutic and can help you gain greater clarity and perspective on circumstances that have been redirected along the way. Get out of the way of this guidance and be open to what you will receive.   What You’ll Learn:       Being in the present moment rather than focusing on the past or future       Trusting in the plan that the universe has for you       Spending time in meditation(in the silence) listening to divine guidance       Being a “yes” to life       Getting out of the way and letting your higher self lead you     Links: Kyle Cease: https://kylecease.com/illusion/   Light Watkins: http://www.lightwatkins.com/   “The Law of Attraction” book: https://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Basics-Teachings-Abraham/dp/1401912273   Wholeness community Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourjourneytowholeness/   Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Follow Melissa on social media:   Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

Melissa Kathryn shares from her personal experience about turning hardships into healing and shifting her mindset so that her greatest challenges truly became her greatest gifts in life. Several years ago, after listening to her intuition telling her to have her throat checked out, Melissa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She found that after the initial shock and anger dissipated, she was able to conquer cancer, grow her business, thrive in life, happier than she’d ever been.  Melissa expanded her positive outlook by coming back home to herself, to her truth, which is what she’s so committed to teaching all women. She saw firsthand the power of true mind, body connection and learned how to not only access a higher consciousness, but harness and trust in the guidance, shifting her perspective and invariably her life for the better.   No matter your struggle, Melissa wants you to know that you can be awakened NOW,  that you can be happy now, and that your current challenges are meant to build you up and become the greatest gifts in your life. Just as in the podcast episodes about eating right for your archetype, Melissa coaches her clients and listeners to take a hard look at your preprogramming and evaluate, if the life you are living is really the one that could make you the happiest, if it’s really the life that you want or if you’re holding yourself back based on someone else’s idea of what and who you should be.   Remember,  there are only two human emotions: love and fear. Choose to let love and happiness reign in your life and see every challenge along your journey as another opportunity to rise up and experience your highest good. You can be a victor rather than a victim, by choosing your good feeling thoughts even in the darkest of times, and willing yourself to take the empowered path regardless of the adversity you are currently facing.    A great daily practice to instill this mindset within yourself is to practice gratitude every day. Be grateful for the big and small things alike, recognizing that each day is a gift and you should live in a way that would fill the pages of your life’s book with joy and happiness and encouragement for others.    What You’ll Learn:   Turning hardships into healing Recognizing the most powerful gifts in your life Transcending your challenges Overcoming your preprogramming Allowing yourself liberation and happiness     Louise Hay: https://www.louisehay.com/ “The Game of Life and How to Play It” book: https://www.amazon.com/Game-Life-How-Play-Florence-ebook/dp/B0080LOWE6 Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/ “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/   Follow Melissa on social media:   Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

During this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn continues the conversation from last week about being in your feminine by describing what it looks like to own your worth. Many women, like those at the recent Weight Loss for Life retreat, struggle to empower themselves to be who they are deep inside and be open to the intuitive guidance that is available to them. One of the clearest demonstrations of this is the inability of most women to recieve. For example to accept compliments without reciprocating.    As women, we have been brought up in the world to believe that we need to live into other people’s stories rather than writing our own, trying to fit into the boxes created by our parents or friends or role models, rather than fully embracing ourselves and standing in our worth and love.    Owning your worth and unapologetically knowing that you are more than enough exactly as you are, comes from establishing your own truth and being confident in who you are. The best way to get to the heart of your truth is to ask yourself these two questions: Who do I need to be to be happy now? What do I need to have in my life to be happy now?   Consider these questions in all aspects of your life and remove the harsh judgments that you might be prone to by instead approaching each day as if it is your last. With this perspective, you can choose to be happy and joyful without overanalyzing or obsessing over what you do not have.    The integration of faith into this mindset makes all the difference, helping you focus on something greater than yourself which will guide you to your highest joy and your best self.    Along this journey, it will be helpful to ground into your good feeling state. Think about a time when you felt the best in your life – the most worthy, the most loved, the most accepted, the most confident – and write down this experience. Refer back to it whenever you need to get grounded again in how you need to feel in order to cancel out negative thinking and unlock your light.   Melissa Kathryn then offers her description of the queen that all women should strive to be. The queen knows her worth and stands in it, dresses beautifully and exudes power, only eats nourishing food and always takes time for herself, uses her voice from her heart unapologetically, knows she is deserving of love, makes time for play and pleasure amidst her work, and she is mated with her own soul, whole and complete even without a partner. The queen confidently leads her kingdom because she is aligned and able to receive divine guidance to do so. You can be that queen.   What You’ll Learn:   Being in your feminine Owning your worth How to be the Queen Choosing happiness Practicing gratefulness Grounding in your good feeling state     LINKS:    “Dangerous Beauty” movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118892/    Melissa Kathryn’s website: http://melissakathryn.com/   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

In this episode of the Wholeness Podcast, Melissa Kathryn explores the differences between operating from feminine versus masculine energy.  The shift in our consciousness the past 3 decades, releasing women from the need to operate as men to get ahead, and how to salvage or create new paradigms in your career, relationships and way of relating to yourself to become a manifesting magnet.    Melissa explains how she’s witnessed many female entrepreneurs from her generation and above lead from a masculine energy, in full striving, pushing, struggling and from a need to prove oneself.  As a result, these same women experienced failed marriages, body breakdown or sacrificed having a family in order to pursue their dreams. Not anymore! Melissa is committed to women “Having It All” and without struggle, but through harnessing the power of their feminine to create bodies, careers, relationships and overall lives they love, with immense joy and ease!    This is not to say clear vision and inspired action isn’t needed, however, there is a new way of being, owning the power of the feminine to be Manifesting Magnets we were born to be.   In this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn will set your mind at ease and help you get back on the path to self-realization and creative expression by encouraging you to embody the power of your sacred feminine. When the balance of masculine and feminine energy is off, it is difficult to connect to your true self or to others in a healthy way, which can be particularly problematic when it comes to relating to your partner. It is important to realize that there is not one perfect “formula” for this energy balance, either, but that you will likely need to adapt based on the time and place. But this does not need to be overwhelming – you essentially just need to connect with your body and let it take the lead in this practice.   Tune in to hear about this and more and to experience four powerful ways that Melissa Kathryn walks listeners through during this episode to harness their feminine energy:     Say “yes” to life     Use your voice – Make sure that everything on your end of the situation is clean, then articulate what you want to express.     Hone your creativity – This is the most vital thing to stay in your feminine.     Receive – Whether it is compliments, gifts, time, or yourself, be willing to receive what others give you.   What You’ll Learn:       How to harness your feminine energy       Handling the pressure of “having it all”       Understanding what it looks like to get back into your feminine       Finding your sacred feminine through creative expression       Recognizing the time and place for masculine and feminine energy   Links: Step Into Wholeness: Fat Loss, Freedom & Fun! 3-Part FREE Training Series: http://melissakathryn.com/wholeness-series/   Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts: http://mamagenas.com/   “Love Works” podcast with Nicole Moore: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/love-works-with-nicole-moore/id1372248881   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/     Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

Have you ever thought about why you are craving certain foods? It must be something beyond just what your body needs and wants from a nutritional standpoint, right? In this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn reveals the true root causes for these cravings and how you can use them to heal, fulfill and take action on things you are truly craving in your life.  Your cravings, she explains are founded on unmet needs and desires and where there is an unmet need, the desire will find a way to get its needs met. Therefore, your cravings will persist until you take action on the underlying emotional need.   You will also learn in this episode, how you can use them as a clear channel for intuitive guidance and accept – rather than reject – yourself as you are.  Melissa explains there are two types of cravings we have and we all encounter both. These cravings are head and heart cravings, each craving has its own set of emotions, foods and actions they are wanting to be fulfilled.    Heart cravings stem from a lack of fulfillment in one or more areas of your life. These cravings of decadent foods such as carbs, cheese, chocolate, and ice cream are often accompanied by feelings of unworthiness or inadequacy. The root memories behind these heart cravings could be the way you felt accepted and loved during childhood or at a particular holiday or celebration when food was equated with love.    Head cravings are derived from anxiety, stress, overwhelm, frustration, guilt, or a lack of control in one or more areas of your life. You crave crunchy or chewy foods as a visible representation of the aspect of your life that you want to “chew” on before taking action. It can be helpful in these instances to do one thing at a time, perhaps using the pomodoro technique, shaking off the desire to continue procrastinating. It is alright to want a snack, but you should portion it out and then put the bag away.   The key four questions to ask yourself when having a head or heart craving are: Am I truly hungry right now? What is going on in my life right now? Is food going to solve the problem? Will it help me or hurt me? What can I do instead?   Notice what happens to your cravings after you ask yourself these questions and pursue the alternative action. Being more aware of what your body truly needs will be beneficial for you mentally and physically, connecting you to your higher self.   What You’ll Learn: How to begin to release weight with ease The differences between head and heart cravings How to fulfill the ultimate desires behind head and heart cravings The four questions to ask yourself during a craving   Links: “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y    Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/   Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

Disclaimer: Melissa Kathryn is not a doctor. She is not recommending her teachings over taking your prescribed medications, nor is she claiming to be a healthcare provider or replace the need of one.   This episode of the Wholeness podcast provides you with a better understanding of your anxiety, fear, overwhelm, and other “negatively” perceived emotions, guiding and teaching you a specific exercise to tune in, receive guidance and diffuse the power these emotions have over you.    Melissa Kathryn believes that no one is born an anxious or fearful person, but becomes one through life experiences.  These experiences can be referred to as “trauma’s”. There being two types of traumas that are commonly experienced for all humans;  (big T) traumas and (little t) traumas occur in our lives from birth to adulthood. Often as children, our subconscious mind are still developing, and if a trauma occurs that is too big or painful for our mind to comprehend, we’re then not able to process it at the time and create a coping mechanism in our bodies, which can be referred to as anxiety, which stems from fear and overwhelm in the body. Anxiety, fear, overwhelm, and other negative emotions are the coping mechanisms set up by the brain to handle that situation and any similar future situations like it. It becomes a response mechanism one encounters when triggered by a similar feeling that stems from fear.     So while it is unpleasant and uncomfortable to feel these negative emotions, it is important first to acknowledge their purpose in your life and befriend them during the process of healing. Anxiety in particular is fixated on fear of the future, as well as past experiences, which stems from the fear that has been set up as a coping mechanism for events from the past. During these past traumas, you were forced to be very brave and take on more than you could handle, and it could be that you have never processed those events or allow yourself to feel the severity of them because you were in survival, protector mode, as the brain so beautifully does and is its main function.   Melissa Kathryn wants to walk you through the journey of listening to your anxiety and gaining freedom from it. Sitting with your feet flat on the floor and your palms up on your lap, practice deep breathing in a pattern of: inhale through your nose for a count of 5, suspend the breath for a count of 5, exhale through your mouth for a count of 5, and repeat for at least 5 cycles or as long as you need to. While deep breathing, tap your heart with your pointer and middle fingers and place your other hand where your anxiety lives in your body (belly, throat, chest, jaw, or elsewhere). Call on your anxiety and give it a color, then take note of what image you see, hear, or feel. Breathe into that feeling and ask your anxiety what messages it has for you, calling out any non-truths, and watching the color and image get smaller in your consciousness until the anxiety is diffused. Journal about your experience, what you saw, heard, and felt, and repeat this process anytime you feel anxiety, fear, overwhelm, or negative emotions washing over you.   What You’ll Learn:       Identify where the roots of anxiety, fear, and overwhelm are within your body and how to heal them       Recognizing and appreciating your anxiety for the protection it has provided and how to move beyond it and have it work for you       Acknowledging the Traumas that have impacted your life and how to use them to transcend your blocks and experience freedom       How to diffuse negative feelings, anxiety, fear and overwhelm using breathwork and a unique access point in the body     Links: Join Melissa’s All-New, LIVE FREE Masterclass: Stop Emotional Eating & Self-Sabotage to Have a Body You Love Now!   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/   For all things Melissa go to www.melissakathryn.com   Join the 5-Day Food Freedom Challenge happening now: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/5-day-food-freedom/     Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

In this 4th and powerful episode, Melissa speaks to the Nurturer Archetype which is sure to speak to most women.  Characterized as the “People Pleaser”over-giver, extra nice and always available, dependable to a fault...this is what most women struggle with when making themselves a priority.  This episode will not only identify why this can be hard for the Nurturer but also, how to use her voice, get her needs met and know who she is, along with claiming what she wants.  Without this awareness and the steps provided in this episode, the Nurturer will continue to not have her needs met and be resentful of being depleted and not achieving the goals she sets for herself.   Settle into this episode of the Wholeness podcast and receive the truths that Melissa Kathryn will provide to you. The topic of this episode is the fourth and final archetype as described in Melissa Kathryn’s book, Eat Right For Your Archetype, and while it’s likely that everyone will identify a little bit with each archetype, there are certainly listeners who primarily identify with the archetype described on this episode: The Nurturer. Again there will always be a primary and a secondary that rule your sabotaging behaviours.     It’s important with this and other types of personality assessments to focus on elements of the description that resonate with you rather than finding your entire identity wrapped up in this characterization. Likewise, soak in the fact that among those who relate most strongly with the same archetype as you, there will be vast diversity when it comes to your dreams, desires, and life journeys.   The Nurturer archetype does things for others at a cost to herself, is focused on service, would be considered a giver who has difficulty receiving, struggles with asking for help, and feels guilty when she is taking care of herself. She deeply desires to be cared for, held, wanted, and needed, but she doesn’t know how to ask for these things. Her core belief is that she is not worthy because others are more important and by always trying to do or be more, she steals her own joy. A lot of mothers identify strongly with this archetype.   Melissa Kathryn’s mantra for Nurturers is “I choose me. I am deserving and worthy of my dreams and the goodness that surrounds me I now receive with ease.” She encourages Nurturers to identify your beliefs around each of your traits and consider how you are making yourself a priority. The goals for growth for Nurturers are to cultivate a relationship with yourself, to receive, to say no, and to set boundaries.   The first exercise for Nurturers is “Speak to Your Heart”. Sit comfortably in the morning with your eyes closed and practice deep breathing, then ask yourself what you really need and want by tapping your heart gently and saying “Heart – what is it that you need?” Be still and listen, breathing in for a count of 5, holding your breathe in for a count of 5, exhaling for a count of 5, and then holding your breathe out for a count of 5. Trust the guidance you receive and perhaps record what you get from these sessions in a journal. The second exercise is “Just Say No” in which you speak your truth and stand up by saying “no” to things that don’t align with your truth.   What You’ll Learn:       Take from personality assessments only the things that resonate with you       Hearing the voice in your head       Getting into feminine flow       Strengthening and appreciating your muscle of receptivity       Connecting with your inner child       Traits, desires, beliefs, and mantra of the Nurturer archetype       Exercises to connect with yourself as a Nurturer       “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/   Join the 5-Day Food Freedom Challenge happening now: Https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/5-day-food-freedom/   Join the 5-Day Food Freedom Challenge happening now: https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/5-day-food-freedom/   For all things Melissa go to www.melissakathryn.com     Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

In this episode meet your inner Rebel, discover what messages she has for you, how and why she’s showing up in your life and sabotaging your success with weight loss and achieving your goals. It’s through this awareness, that you can befriend this part of you and have the aspect of your inner Rebel bring you higher instead of cause you to rebel against yourself and sabotage your results.  Want to learn how? Tune in now!   In this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn guides you through the characteristics of the Rebel archetype and specific practices for embracing your inner Rebel, and her self-sabotaging tendencies as protection mechanisms meant to help you not hurt you. Melissa provides listeners with her insights about this and the other archetypes, reframing them to be assets rather than liabilities.    If you identify as a Rebel archetype, you may find that you live in extremes, swinging from working hard to playing hard with little balance, causing you to feel exhausted and rebel against all your hard earned success.  After you sabotage your success whether in overeating or overspending for example, shame and guilt then cause a downward spiral followed by an even harsher regiment of a restricted life, which builds seeds of rebellion and start they cycle all over again.     Rebels often feel like they are not worthy and they struggle with follow-through and commitment, often because the thing they have “committed” to is not really what they want to be doing. As a Rebel, your core desire is harmony and peace - deep love with yourself and then others.   The roots of this archetype began during your childhood if one of your parents or authority figures set specific standards or expectations and left little room for personal growth or self-expression. Even as an adult, you feel torn between what you’ve been conditioned to do and what you want to do, seeing one option as devoid of pleasure and the other as gluttonous. This self-sabotage can take the form of the fear of failure or of unfulfilled approval.   Melissa Kathryn offers several recommendations and exercises to support you through shifting from a Rebel who sabotages yourself to using this archetype to your advantage and view the rebellion as beautiful insight and specific guidance toward your path to your highest self and most joy in this life.    Additionally, she provides two exercises for Rebels to walk through on their own or with their coach:   Exercise 1: Write down 3 aspects of your life where you feel unbalanced or unfulfilled.  Ask yourself these questions:  What is it that I really want to happen? What would make me happy?  Why have I not taken any action yet?  What am I afraid will happen if I take action?   Exercise 2: Write down the areas of your life where you are living in extremes.  Ask yourself: How does this make me feel? What am I getting from this? Am I ready to let that go? Remember that you are in the driver’s seat. Trust your inner guidance. Recognize the rules you are placing on yourself and ask if they are rules you want to have. Reduce your goals by 30% to decrease burnout. Think about who you are and why you rebel. Compete with yourself when it comes to balance and follow-through. Accept yourself and embrace the gift of your uniqueness. The next episode of the podcast will outline the Nurturer archetype and Melissa Kathryn will offer her insights to those of you who identify as Nurturers.   What You’ll Learn:        Looking within to recognize the ways you self-sabotage       Starting your journey to wholeness with your relationship with your body       Tendencies and characteristics of the Rebel archetype       Where in childhood the Rebel’s core beliefs and desires could be rooted       Self-sabotage reactions are really just protection mechanisms meant to keep you safe       Two specific exercises for Rebels to go through      5-Day Challenge https://melissa-kathryn.lpages.co/5-day-food-freedom/   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/    “Weight Loss for Life” program: http://melissakathryn.com/weightlossforlife/   Jim Fortin’s podcast: https://www.jimfortin.com/podcast/   For all things Melissa go to www.melissakathryn.com     Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

The topic of this episode of the Wholeness podcast is the Perfectionist archetype. As someone who identifies herself as a Recovering Perfectionist, Melissa Kathryn reaches down deep to describe what Perfectionists constantly struggle with, how they appear compared to how they feel inside, and the impacts of these behaviors on their identities and ability (or inability) to access their higher self, their ideal weight and the lives they truly want.   It’s important to remember the power of the subconscious mind in your everyday life as well as the deep roots of the beliefs held there from traumas or Traumas in your childhood. If you’re a Perfectionist, feeling like you’ve always had to look put together, that everything should be in its place, that you cannot show any weakness or emotion, that nothing you ever do is good enough, and that no one can ever meet your high expectations, there usually  has been some situation or circumstance in your childhood that cemented those limiting beliefs within you.    And because of the way the subconscious mind works, you likely never realized or recognized this connection between behaviors and beliefs and how that’s actually been the driver behind sabotaging your happiness and results in life.  The foundation of fear is not serving you well and it’s keeping you from the amazing things that are meant for your life.   In this episode, Melissa guides you through powerful exercises you can do today and provides specific guidance for how to break free and live your best life, on your terms!   Perfectionists can find freedom from the need to struggle by expressing love for their body as well as journaling - specific examples of this are provided. Expressing gratitude for the different areas of the body that would typically seem “not good enough” can help flip the narrative and empower Perfectionists to love themselves and accept that perfection is not possible, but that they are more than enough exactly as they are.    Since they’re also prone to taking on a lot of responsibilities in a quest to prove their worth, Perfectionists should spend time each morning in solitude to be still and physically release all of the negative thoughts that they have been holding on to. This way, they can approach each new day as a new opportunity to connect with themselves and get grounded.   What You’ll Learn:       How to operate from the identity of who you want to be rather than an identity that doesn’t serve you       Accessing your intuitive guidance       Recognizing barriers in your subconscious mind and their roots in your childhood       Characteristics, core beliefs, and deepest desires of the Perfectionist archetype       Releasing the need to struggle by creating space and being still       Specific action steps to help Perfectionists celebrate themselves every day     Gay Hendricks website: https://experiencelife.com/article/overcome-your-upper-limits/   “A Return to Love” book: https://www.amazon.com/Return-Love-Reflections-Principles-Miracles/dp/0060927488   “The Law of Attraction” book: https://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Science-Attracting-More/dp/0446199737   “Eat Right for Your Archetype” by Melissa Kathryn: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Archetype-Effortlessly-ebook/dp/B0196VK45Y   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz   Receive Weekly Inspiration, Coaching and Mindset Tips and the latest news on events, programs and retreats here: www.melissakathryn.com     Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

On this episode of the Wholeness podcast, Melissa Kathryn talks about the function of the four archetypes and describes what it looks like to be an Avoider. In order to make real and lasting change in any one area of your life, you ultimately must identify who you want to be and the actions and beliefs that go along with that identity. When you make this mental shift, your body is empowered to make positive changes that spread from that focus area of your life into all aspects of your existence.   Melissa Kathryn created the archetypes as a way of describing the four main ways that we self-sabotage and how understanding our tendencies can help us overcome and surpass expectations. Self-sabotage is when part of your personality acts in conflict with another part of your personality. It is likely that each person will identify with several of the archetypes, but one will be predominantly descriptive of their current self-sabotage beliefs.   The Avoider Archetype is characterized by talking about needing to make a change (like starting a diet) but never actually taking the necessary steps to get there, making excuses, dwelling on past regrets or failures, not trying, not trusting herself, not believing that what she wants is possible, fear of vulnerability, and truly desiring to be loved and validated. The key mantra for the Avoider is “I love and accept myself exactly as I am.” In order to start making positive changes, the Avoider is to get real about what they want and evaluate the steps they are taking to reach those goals. It is possible that they don’t genuinely want some of the things they say are their goals, which is why they are so resistant to taking the necessary steps.   Melissa Kathryn discusses where all of these thoughts and limiting beliefs originate and how things in the past hold the Avoider back from becoming who they really want to be. It is important for the Avoider to be cautious of their thoughts and actions because they are prone to becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. The most impactful action steps for the Avoider are to write a letter of forgiveness to themselves and perhaps others, to practice mirror work, and to notice their inner dialogue.   On the next episode of the podcast, Melissa Kathryn will describe the Perfectionist Archetype and how to break-free to make real lasting change.   What You’ll Learn: Mindset coaching Self-sabotage What are the characteristics of the Avoider archetype?

Welcome to the first episode of the Wholeness podcast with Melissa Kathryn! This podcast has been a part of Melissa Kathryn’s plans for several years now, as she felt the need to share about holistic nutrition, fitness, and how the subconscious mind impacts so many facets of life. However, a little more than 2 years ago, she finally gave in to the little voice inside her head that had been telling her to get her throat checked, and after 2 doctors told her she was perfectly healthy, she received a diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer.   Finding out that she had cancer was a wake-up call that led Melissa Kathryn to explore the impact of intuition and how to tap into the power deep within that was more reliable and trustworthy than anyone or anything else. Not only did this mindset shift result in a realignment of the focus of this podcast, but it provided Melissa Kathryn a new purpose in life: to share with other women the incredible wealth of knowledge that they all have within themselves, that can open up more opportunities with greater clarity than any other source could. And most of all how to align with their truth, the power within themselves to achieve their dreams.    Harnessing the power within transformed Melissa’s life to new heights and deepened her Mindset and Emotional Mastery work and she saw this reflected in her clients results and incredible life-changing success.     She invites her listeners to join her on their journey to Wholeness, their highest selves, which is the dedication of this podcast.  Each week hear from expert, for encouragement, and for practical tips to integrate into their everyday lives to experience the greatness within and feel empowered to take that next step without being able to fully see the path. What You’ll Learn: The story behind the podcast and why you should make sure to tune in each week How harnessing your intuition can heal your body and forever change your life in the best of ways How Melissa Kathryn’s cancer diagnosis was one of the biggest blessings in her life and how to turn any negative into a positive Developing a strong connection to your intuition Accessing your true potential and power through her holistic approach Why Mindset Mastery is the key to your dreams, and it starts with your body   Eat Right for your Archetype Quiz: http://melissakathryn.com/quiz/ Website to learn more: http://melissakathathryn.com Follow Melissa on social media: Instagram: @Melissa.kathryn https://www.instagram.com/melissa.kathryn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiancemk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8zL6mzH5-Hs2R2Sxfdf7g

Melissa shares the following: Like many young women, Melissa remembers looking in the mirror, not liking what she saw, and attributing all of her problems to her weight. Emotional eating was the result as she became sensitive and over-reactive to body image issues. Melissa had an unhealthy relationship with her body and became a chronic dieter after college. Ten years later, she swung the other direction, becoming a nutritionist and doing fitness competitions. Six months later, however, she was back to her old, unhealthy habits! What was the problem? Melissa realized that she was “programmed to fail,” and didn’t think she was worthy of a healthy body. Melissa created a “One-Stop Shop” for women, encompassing nutrition, fitness, mindset, and lifestyle. How do we program ourselves for sustainable change in health? Build up self-care and love to stop sabotaging ourselves. Struggle IS our comfort zone! It’s what we know! Don’t live in the past with blame and regret. Recognize the connection and break FREE! Melissa shares and explains  her four archetypes at the root of who we are: The Avoider-“What I want isn’t possible.” The Sabotager-“I’m always going to be small and can’t reach higher.” The Perfectionist-“I’m not enough.” The Rebel-“It’s ALL or NOTHING.” Even though you may identify with all the archetypes, one will usually stand out to each person and help you understand your problems. To “fix” the problem, you work backwards to the ROOT. You weren’t always this way, so what event or influence caused it? You can take actions to shift your mind; the first action step is to become your biggest advocate and best friend. Melissa says a Self-Care Routine is essential. Learn the benefits of “mirror work” and incorporating more play and pleasure into life! “Where there is lack, you will fill the void with food, so figure out where the lack is.” Replace food with fun. Make a pleasure list of long and short-term things you want to do. “The more alive you feel, the less you want food as your sole love.” “If it’s not attainable and not sustainable, then it’s not maintainable.” Are you eating when you’re hungry? Are you stopping when you’re full? Are you eating out of boredom? Do you NEED all the food on your plate? Melissa discusses how to interpret the answers to these questions and more! Start with small changes. If you don’t work out, then begin with two days/week. You have to trust your body and learn to listen to it! Cravings are usually not from hunger. What do they mean? What do they reveal? Melissa explains, based on the following questions: Am I really hungry? Is food going to solve the problem? What’s going on in my life right now? What can I do instead?
