What is up, my beautiful, knowing, truth speakers! This episode is brought to you by Sana Skin Studio. Scroll down for your deal! Are you ready to courageously step into your deepest sense of inner knowing? This week’s guest is Melody Godfred, author and leader of a self-love movement. She helps guide people all over the world to come home to themselves through her books Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers, The Shift: Poetry for a New Perspective, and The ABCs of Self-Love. Melody is devoted to knowing herself and empowers other women to do the same. In this episode, we will explore shifts after the pandemic and how letting our intuition guide us from a place of authenticity and joy. We discuss setting boundaries by removing ourselves from toxic relationships and saying no to say yes to ourselves. It is important to remember who you are and how deserving you are of all love, kindness, and honesty. Join us on the search for clarity and self-love. In this episode…Finding clarity as a result of the pandemic Feeling like you needed to be everything to everyone Letting go of what is no longer serving youBeing enslaved to negative self-talk How the Pandemic changed the worldEmbracing everything you are Allowing things to happenDefining purpose Helping others feel seen and heard Saying no to others to say yes to yourselfQuotes:“I became a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, a lawyer, and I was doing so many things. I thought happiness was the reward for doing everything in life that checked the boxes. From a young age, I was a type A overachiever and worked my to the top. When I got there, I realized I had left myself behind.”“For so long, I was sacrificing clarity for safety. Once the pandemic happened, I realized it was impossible to shield myself from that. This is when my journey really began.” “Learning how to be mindful of what was going on in my mind, and deciding that I want to choose thoughts that are kinder, healthier, or trusting, really changed things for me. Prior to that, I was at the mercy of my life because I was at the mercy of my thoughts.” “Your soul does not keep a productivity list. It is always growing and expanding.”“Forcing it may get you what you want, but allowing it will get you what you need.”“What are you willing to say no to, to get what you actually want?” “Self-sacrifice is not feminine. We have to stop sacrificing ourselves because we think that is what a woman does.” Timestamps:00:00- 1:50 | Melody's intro 1:50- 11:40 | Finding clarity 11:40- 14:20 | The effects of the pandemic 14:20- 20:12 | Allowing things to happen20:12- 31:00 | Sharing Melody’s poetry 31:00- 37:15 | Setting boundaries 37:15- 44:05 | Saying yes to yourselfConnect with Melodyhttps://www.melodygodfred.com/ @melodygodfred @fredandfarConnect with Nikki www.nikkispo.com @nikkisappspo / @theknowwithnikkispoPROMO:SANA SKIN STUDIO is my #1 go-to spot for self-care.
