Some other topics  discussed include recognizing what gives us energy vs. what drains us, enjoying the simplicity of life, the ego mindset, and trusting the process.

In this episode, Melissa goes deep on how people pleasing impacts the way a lot of us live our lives, and how to pivot that focus back to ourselves and our priorities. Melissa identifies some tangible ways for us to recognize this behavior so that we can empower ourselves to take control of our own lives, because how we choose to spend our time really is up to us. For Melissa, this all starts with a morning practice that includes gratitude and grounding. This episode encourages all of us to listen to what’s coming up, strengthen our intuition, and trust our gut when it tells us who is elevating our lives and who we should distance ourselves from. Melissa shares tips to ending people pleasing including how to prevent people from having constant access to you, creating healthy boundaries with the people in your life, and most importantly, learning to love time alone with yourself.
