"When you need a teacher, one will come along," so they say. I didn't know what I was seeking, only that I felt powerless, hopeless, confused, and lost. Life's curveballs—trauma, grief, anxiety—sent me spiraling. Medical help addressed the physical, but not the spirit. Enter Mel, my teacher, mentor, friend. With her guidance, I unraveled the real issues. It wasn't a miracle cure; I had to do the work. Mel's insight and patience led me to understand myself and approach change. 18 months on, I'm doing well. When old mindsets creep in, I hear a voice saying, "I choose me," tapping into the tools learned with Mel. It's become a life choice.
