      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is your weekly dose of Mel unedited: inspiration, insight, advice, and of course a lot of humor. You’ve got questions and Mel’s got a lot to say about a lot of things.From answering your questions to taking you inside Mel’s life, you’ll see it all. In this episode, Mel’s answering the hard questions about break ups, anxiety, and stress. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Mel without adding in a little fun with a question about her favorite recipe.If your anxiety has spiked during this quarantine, especially around work, check out Question 1 at 1:22. You CAN change your thinking patterns, you CAN break the habit of worrying, and you CAN quiet the anxiety that you feel in your body. Mel shows you how to do just that.If you’re currently in a relationship where you truly love the person but know that deep down the relationship is no longer good for you, Question 2 at 4:58 is a must watch. Breakups suck. There is no way around it. And breaking up with someone you care about is one of the hardest things in the world. Mel walks you through WHY you have to end it, and how.If you’re a fan of cooking like Mel is, Question 3 at 7:39 is going to leave your mouth watering! Mel talks about her absolute favorite recipe: Braised Beef with Lots and Lots of Onions.And lastly, if you have aging parents and are stressed about taking care of them, you’re going to watch to tune into Question 4 at 9:00. If you’re in this situation you have 3 choices: use magical thinking (which isn’t very practical), you can hire someone or ask a family member for help, or you can change your attitude. Mel explains each choice and which one she recommends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

You’ve got questions and Mel’s got a lot to say about a lot of things.From answering your questions to taking you inside Mel’s life, you’ll see it all. In this episode, Mel’s answering the hard questions about break ups, anxiety, and stress. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Mel without adding in a little fun with a question about her favorite recipe.If your anxiety has spiked during this quarantine, especially around work, check out Question 1 at 1:22. You CAN change your thinking patterns, you CAN break the habit of worrying, and you CAN quiet the anxiety that you feel in your body. Mel shows you how to do just that.If you’re currently in a relationship where you truly love the person but know that deep down the relationship is no longer good for you, Question 2 at 4:58 is a must watch. Breakups suck. There is no way around it. And breaking up with someone you care about is one of the hardest things in the world. Mel walks you through WHY you have to end it, and how.If you’re a fan of cooking like Mel is, Question 3 at 7:39 is going to leave your mouth watering! Mel talks about her absolute favorite recipe: Braised Beef with Lots and Lots of Onions.And lastly, if you have aging parents and are stressed about taking care of them, you’re going to watch to tune into Question 4 at 9:00. If you’re in this situation you have 3 choices: use magical thinking (which isn’t very practical), you can hire someone or ask a family member for help, or you can change your attitude. Mel explains each choice and which one she recommends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

In this episode, Mel’s answering everything from how to overcome people pleasing to why she only makes scrambled eggs in her workout gear.The first question Mel answers touches on living for yourself and putting yourself first.
