Hey Mel! Love that you are doing an AMA. I feel like I can’t come back from my failures. I feel so discouraged and I don’t know how to stop feeling so sh*tty about it. how can I get myself in a better mindset? How can I overcome my guilt of not succeeding? I’m having a hard time getting back on the saddle.

Bullshit. Of course you can come back from your failures. History is painted w/ people just like you and me who have come back from their failures. The only way to stop feeling so shitty about yourself is to stop looking in the rearview mirror and start looking at the road ahead.

You do have a choice when it comes to the thoughts that you indulge. Stop listening to this bullshit and start telling yourself - you haven't succeeded YET.

DM me on Instagram when you got back on the saddle because I'm not going to listen to your bullshit excuses and neither should you

and if you need an additional kick in the ass (and a loving reminder) that you have the power within you to change your life - and that all of those "failures" were there to teach you something you needed to learn - I highly recommend you listen to this on repeat
