Melanie dives into the different reasons you may be lacking motivation. People often think of themselves as either being a motivated person or not. As if feeling a constant incentive to go after what you want is a skill you need to be born with. However, it’s not so straight forward because there are several factors that influence the way we feel about ourselves and how we feel about making changes.
Some points touched on are:
Letting other people decide who we are
Being out of alignment with ourselves
Doing what we don’t like
Rationalizing our happiness and stuck states
The comfort of familiarity
How change has to happen before motivation comes
And much more!

In this episode of the Make It Happen Podcast, Melanie opens up about the progression of her spiritual gifts throughout this past year. She dives into very practical ways of developing her gifts through consistent practice.

Indecisiveness connected to shutting down intuition
Feeling stress and anxiety as a result of disconnection to self
Learning meditation to relieve stress
Debunking common myths about how meditation “should” be
Relearning how to feel out intuition
Not using the brain for decision-making
Systems and methods for practicing applying intuition
Creating the quiet space to ask and receive answers
Intuition versus channeling higher messages
How to tell if the brain is coming up with solutions or if you’re receiving an answer
Melanie fully explains her process of learning to channel in this episode, what channeling is, and who she connects to when she does this. If anyone else feels interested in deepening their intuitive practice then this episode may be really helpful. You’re feeling called here for a reason.

This week, Melanie is joined by Cris Lopez for his second time on the podcast! This episode has a more casual approach to it as they talk all about relationships. A big part of the conversation touches on how the pandemic has affected making friends and connecting with people, what quality makes you want to get to know someone else, and the challenges of dating during your 20s.
Cris is the kind of person who can get along with most anyone so he shares how he’s been feeding connections during these times and how relationships can help us with how we view our sense of self. If you missed his first episode about his life and growing up in Saudi Arabia, find it here.

This week Melanie is joined by Colleen Wetmore, the host of the Dare You To Move Podcast, for a discussion on what they’ve learned about their 20s. Colleen shares from the perspective of now being in her 30s, how she views her 20s and what experiences impacted her the most. Melanie is still midway through her 20s but offers up the experiences she’s been privy to so far.
The 20s are often associated with figuring out who you are and what you want and there’s no bounds to how those lessons take form. Melanie and Colleen chat about how spirituality affects their sense of identity in work, career, and personally. They also talk: societal conditioning around marriage and children, materialism, conscious choices, entrepreneurship, and expectations society imposes on the masses.
