Hey,
It's Melanie.
I want to offer you something today that you might not even realize you need.
Not advice,
Not a mindset shift,
Just permission.
We spend a lot of time being told to do more,
Be more,
Fix more,
But what we really need,
What so many of us are craving,
Is for someone to just say,
You're allowed.
So today I'm handing out some permission slips.
Take what resonates,
Let the rest go.
You don't need to do anything.
Just listen.
You're allowed to say no.
You're allowed to cancel.
You're allowed to rest.
You're allowed to do nothing and still be worthy.
You're allowed to feel joy,
Even when things are hard.
You're allowed to not feel joy,
Even when things look good.
You're allowed to want more.
You're allowed to want less.
You're allowed to take up space.
You're allowed to not have a plan.
You're allowed to protect your peace.
You're allowed to be complicated.
You're allowed to begin again without apologizing.
You're allowed to let something or someone go,
Even if someone else doesn't understand.
Maybe one of those landed for you.
If so,
You can repeat it to yourself in your head,
Out loud,
Or just let it echo inside of you.
Or maybe your own permission slip is starting to form.
Go ahead and claim it.
You don't really need to earn your permission.
You already have it.
Thank you for spending this time with me today.
I'm glad you're here.
