Episode 19 - Living Out The FEEL Framework with Melissa Crook: Women’s Empowerment, Self-Worth & Authentic Healing
By Jessica Garrison
We continue our empowerment journey with Melissa Crook as she discusses Living Out The FEEL Framework - In Summary. This framework embodies the resources you need in order to live your healthiest, most authentic life. Not only do we want to see everyone live out FEEL, but we want to see women supporting other women in doing so as well. Once you live out The FEEL Framework, you’ll be surprised at how much your community grows around you with like-minded people who want to see you succeed.
The FEEL Framework is about identifying who you are unapologetically, without the expectations, thoughts, or societal standards that other people may put on you. It includes addressing each part of your wellness, rather than just focusing on one specific area or only taking care of yourself at a surface level. It’s helpful in setting healthy boundaries around your time and who you give it to. Your time is so valuable, and you should treat it as such. Remember that it’s okay to say no to things you don’t want to do; this only leaves more room for you to say yes to what you actually want. Accept and embrace all of your beautiful, complex layers, showing yourself love, empathy, and grace while still holding yourself accountable for your actions. All of this within The FEEL Framework gives us a sense of renewal, a start towards a new life where we can actually thrive.
We’ve created a supportive and impactful community where you can hear true stories in real time, while utilizing the resources provided to educate and heal yourself. This work is contagious, and when others see you living out The FEEL Framework, they are inspired to begin it themselves and support those around them in doing the same. It’s a cycle of positivity rather than toxicity, and you become a role model without even realizing it. It might feel strange to put yourself first after so long of being last on your list, but don’t wallow in the guilt, you are worth prioritizing.
From now on, Melissa will be live on Substack every Tuesday at 2 PM EST/11 AM PST with our one on one empowerment episodes where everyone is invited to ask questions, comment, share what they’ve been learning, and talk about their experiences. Even if you are unable to tune in live, anyone can comment on our posts after they have been posted for up to 3 months. After that, you can become a paid subscriber to have access to anything older than those 3 months. Although Thursday episodes won’t be produced in Substack at this time, the link of where to watch them will be posted in the comments of the blog each week. Next time, join us live!
Ways To Engage: Focus on prioritizing yourself. Whether it be with your time, with your talent/abilities, or with your emotional limits, prioritize what you need. Say yes to what you truly want to say yes to and say no to things you don’t want. Only you can make the decisions for yourself, so make sure they align with who you are and who you want to be.
