You know, I believe these things, but then I don't know if I can practice a faith because I've always, as you said, the man-made rules. How do you sort of in your own spirit and soul go, okay, I feel this about my faith and there might be parts of it, whether they're in writing or not, that doesn't feel right. True to me. How do you navigate that?
Because I think a lot of people don't have faith in their life anymore, or they feel like there's so many rules that maybe feel incongruent with their soul. How do you reconcile that and practice faith and also be so passionate about some of the things you believe so strongly in that maybe some people in a particular religion don't?

I love something you just said that we all have a knowing, like we all have a knowing and know the truth. And, you know, I, I, I believe in God, I pray almost every day, all the things. And in my knowing, I just, Melinda, how I feel like how I live my life. And I want to share this because I think something you shared is so powerful.

And just for anybody listening or watching us right now, who is maybe in that incongruent place, they're like, well, I kind of feel like I'm, you know, to explore faith in my life, but I just can't get over that, that rule or that judgment or whatever. It's that knowing it's asking yourself what feels true, like what feels true to me. And everyone can do that. It's free once we get good at it.

Right. And, and I remember, um, I've gotten pushback on my show for having people that maybe love differently or vote differently or identify differently. And I just, every time, how I feel is when I ask my knowing, my soul, I feel like if Jesus were here right now, He would love you no matter what, no matter how you identify or how you vote or how you, and that's what I believe.

That's what I feel is true. So that's how I try to then live my life. And it's just, I want to share that because when you shared that so beautifully, I think for me, I think that's the powerful thing for people to do. And a lot of people actually haven't considered that. Well,

Maybe I can approach faith in a way that I take the parts that feel true and feel right and feel like they're true for me and every person can do that. Okay, I want to talk about lessons in trusting yourself and your inner voice. which, you know, I could talk about, I could do, I could talk to you for 24 hours about the next day, which is why everyone needs to go pick it up right now.

It is so good. And I love what you shared earlier that in your life, you've been inspired by other people sharing their stories or saying, this is how I got through this, or this is what I did there. And you have friends that have shown up for you that way. In the next day, you describe how your inner voice has had faded.

And while we do, take a moment and share this episode with every single person that you know, maybe they're going through a transition in their life in some way, who this episode could inspire. Because this conversation can truly not just impact our lives, but theirs too. In life, you don't soar to the level of your hopes and dreams. You stay stuck at the level of your self-worth.

When you build your self-worth, you change your entire life. And that's exactly why I wrote my new book, Worthy, how to believe you are enough and transform your life for you. If you have some self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill, Worthy is for you.
