I write and delete my comment and I have no confidence to say a thing cos english is not my first language. But I give it to go. I am 50 this year. I feel stuck for most of my life as if I never had a purpose of my own. I always been somebody’s daughter, sister, wife , mother etc but never really myself. Always busy to get things done as we do in our lives , without too much thinking. For the last few years I feel very heavy inside, heavy and empty at the same time. It got to the point I cannot hide it anymore. I am so angry with myself being so miserable. Today when I was listen to your podcast I cried and cried my eyes out. I felt sense of relief for the first time in decades. Any time you asked a question I was thanking you in my heart cos they were exact questions I wanted to be asked and answered. Love you Mel, and I am so grateful for all what you do. Thank you ❤️

I cried multiple time during this episode but especially Martha said “Everything left, and everything arrived.”

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don’t feel alone anymore. What really helped me start overcoming the pain and actually move toward my goals was reading Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers, it opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. Always remember, don’t be depressed about the past, don’t worry about the future, and just focus on today. ❤

I wish my mom could’ve heard this. She took her life when I was 16, I’ll be 26 this year. Thank you Mel and Martha ❤

With all the suicide and sadness, I pray this message will help others find their purpose. We are all created for a purpose! ❤

I have been SO stuck in my life, not knowing what to do. Literally flat broke, unemployed, been alone, single, celibate, and sober healing for the last 2 years while being alienated from my 3 children. At the bottom and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel, not even a glimmer of hope. So lost, until this moment. Thank you so much. THIS chat has lit the candle at the end of the tunnel for me. I love you, Mel and Martha. THANK YOU!

Sometimes your purpose is nothing more than being there for your family and that's a good and noble purpose. It is enough.

Never heard a better definition of purpose: Your purpose is where your deep gladness and the worlds deep hunger meet. Thanks Mel and Dr. Beck.
