					<description><![CDATA[I read about you in Dr. Northrup&#039;s book Dodging Energy Vampires.  Listening to this video was so timely and fortuitous.  I served my husband of 34 years with divorce papers today.  I left 2 years ago and have been regrouping. However, since he refused to work most of our marriage he gets the house the contents and a large amount of money, all of which I worked for.  To boot he has used our 2 daughters first as a way to control me to keep me from leaving and now as a way of punishing me by alienating them from me.  At 66 this is not what I had planned.  However, I know that Spirit has other plans for me.  Certainly listening to you has given me hope that I can do the healing necessary to thrive.  Thank you.]]></description>

Hi Megan,

That is great that you are seeking to be empathetic ... and the thing is as soon as we judge or are resentful towards anyone it only hurts our inner being anyway!

Awesome that you are seeing all the truth in this and how key it is to Thriving. To become it and be a force for others.

Many blessings and much love to you.

Mel xo]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If anyone looks at another person and thinks, &quot;You did not have to struggle in your life,&quot; it is usually coming from a victim perspective. It helps that person hold onto being a victim and stay in a safe place. It also shields the ego, I believe. I like how you are so empathetic with people. I am really trying hard to be empathetic with people when they assume life is easy for me... especially when my reality generally involves a small leap of faith towards making money in the future, a reward for hours of work, or sometimes just a leap of faith in my own ability to find ways to make money that fit with who I am, what I have to offer, and what I believe in. And sometimes, I my head is barely above water, but I am paddling up a storm! 

I love that you are able to see us at our heart level and maintain a caring about people that may be tempted to pull you down with their own fears of what is happening in their lives. This is helping me to see that fear and how it is really about what is happening for them. This will help me value and honour where they are at - and not get held back by it either. Thank you!]]></description>

Hi Cat,

I have created an entire eBook on Self-Care which is a supplement to the NARP Program: https://www.melanietoniaevans.com/narp

Please know Dear Lady, when you start healing on the inside, then we start outpouring that love into our self on the outside as well. 

Have you come into one of my free webinars to start that process going? https://www.melanietoniaevans.com/freewebinar

I hope that helps.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mel! Thank you so much. I wonder if you have written a piece that touches on self care? I’ve noticed for example the difference in my self esteem and psyical looks from three years ago when we started our relationship and now - is like night and day. And it’s so shocking to me now that my regular hair appointments, own choice of clothes, time to do makeup, was all stripped away by his constant demands of my behaviour, attention and his jealousy. I mean, it’s just amazing how I let that part go for self preservation and now am having to reconnect. I just wondered if you’d written a piece on that and / or reinvention. Thank you!]]></description>
