This is my favorite episode so far solely because of your honesty & vulnerability. The part about being okay with the fact that those you love may hurt you made me emotional in the best way ♥️
I’m a man, and I struggle with binge eating. I am on this yo-yo right now of eating clean for the majority of the week and then I binge for probably a day maybe two, but I hate when I do it. I lose all self control, and it irritates the hell out of me. Like for the first 4-5 days I am disciplined, and then I get some anxiety, and food just fixes everything. Waking up the next day feeling like shit, and hating myself. Hearing this pod helps though, and I am going to make some changes. Thanks for the advice ❤️
As a male (same as age Chris), this was gold. I love how you convey this information and with honesty. It is truly inspiring for my own journey. And regarding the last part, it has also inspired me to lean more towards my girlfriend and thank you for being honest and open. Keep doing these podcasts, you have a way of speaking from your heart that I find is rare (its almost a maternal/older sister kind of a way if it makes sense).
In love with the tokens of wisdom. Mindset, vulnerability, and discipline are EXACTLY what I’m going working through right now. It feels at times we’re alone in our separate lives. Turns out we can also be going through very similar things and we can learn from one another. This was a great one that resonated with me personally. Thank you and hope everyone here sticks through it. One day at a time.
THIS IS GOLD. I’ve gone through binge cycles since I was 16 which is when I started going to the gym. Get lean, binge, get lean , binge, over and over for 5 years. Im currently going through exactly what you are when it comes to truly being in alignment with my highest self. The freedom I live in today feels like a whole other world than the one I was once in. I completely feel everything you said it’s so encouraging to know another woman is on this journey of living in our souls truest alignment in this life + the realness of the lessons you’ve learned.I respect you so much that you called yourself out for the shay Mitchell comment in a loving way, took ownership of it and then adjusted from there. That’s badass real shit & I have so so so much respect for you. The rawness of your videos will change lives. 🤟🏻🫶🏻
I always noticed: behind every competitor there is a struggle they distract from by competing/bodybuilding. Happy that you are on the other side of it all. 💕
I’m going to listen to this episode a second time. Wow. Even though I’m male, you hit home with me in several important ways. I needed this. Thanks Melissa.
This is such a great video Mellisa. Thanks for sharing. Thought I already subscribed, but I did now. Happy to be part of the likely smaller male audience!
Bodybuilding is quite a “masculine” endeavour. You are honouring your divine feminine side and the wisdom in balancing the masculine and feminine within. I have gone through the same journey with competing and getting back in touch with who I really am and how I want to feel in my body. Super proud of you and love the candidness. Keep going. You rock my Canadian sister!!
This is phenomenal, Melissa, Thank you for your honesty and thought-out explanation. You just don't get this REAL content; From a REAL Competitor, anywhere else.👍
This has been by far my favorite episode of the pod. The info I’ve been wanting to hear and the heart to heart I’ve NEEDED to hear. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🫶🏻
Im loving these video chats. I found this chanel on the weekend and listen to every single video back to back while i was home alone. Felt like i had mates with me. ❤ Supporting ya'll all the way from Aotearoa New Zealand. Stay strong in your self belief of your significance to be called to do the podcast, you and Courtney deeply inspire me to walk my own life courageously .
Thank you for telling us about this part of your life. In that episode to which you refer, I agreed with you and at the same time in this one as well. In both you talk about a strong woman's perspective. You influence a lot by the way you express yourself and I appreciate that. And yes, to love is to know that they can hurt you and still feel love because you trust that they will never really hurt you.
I could listen to you all day:) I love this “you”…I’m on the same path and it’s so freeing. Downsizing has been the best thing in so many ways! I’m so happy to see you flourish here❤
Favorite episode to date! I really resonated with a lot of what you were saying on here. I never did body building competitions but I have always had a more muscular build for my upper body and I have always struggled with gaining weight and losing weight and have been very insecure about it. I have dieted down, gained back and been in a vicious cycle with it for a while. I am trying to just live a healthy lifestyle moving forward and be at a place where I love my body and feel healthy every day. I have struggled with trust issues and being afraid to be vulnerable in my own relationship but I am trying to improve in this area as well. Thank you for this Mel. I am feeling inspired and no longer alone in my struggles! 💙 You really have a way of articulating and speaking that is so honest, relatable and natural.
I love listening to you guys! This is not a complaint but some episodes are great volume and other like this one i can barely hear it. Idk if I’m crazy but it’s on the same headphones. Just wanted to share in case there is a way to make the volume higher when posting
Thanks for the women's health tip... I mentioned it to my wife... sounds like a good edition... Yea... having a 'follow along' thing on Chris' app would be solid.. :) ALSO LOVE the idea of the 'fun supps' REALLY helps her wrap her head around things that way - Coming from a feminine perspective is great... Thanks MBUMVAL... :)
re: 'if you can take my man you can have him' I got what you meant when you said it originally, but I DO appreciate your explanation etc... really REALLY great stuff here eh? Honestly... a LOT of introspection etc... Well done!
