Episode 51 - The FEEL Framework: Women’s Empowerment, Self-Discovery & Personal Growth Explained with Melissa Crook

By Jessica Garrison

If you’ve ever been interested in the origins of The FEEL Podcast, Melissa Crook is here to answer any burning questions with The Creation of The FEEL Framework Talking Points and Key Questions. There are 8 talking points and 3 key questions discussed through the podcast that can be applied to anyone, no matter your background or goals for the future. 

Melissa shares the story of how she and her original team, Valencia Saint-Louis and Abby Bekele, came up with the different talking points and what FEEL would mean. This wasn’t an idea that was born overnight, but rather something that had been building inside until it could no longer be ignored. Women are constantly taking care of others with no regard for themselves, whether it be their mental health or physical health. This adds layers to ourselves as women, especially when you factor in other areas of our lives, like misogyny, stereotypes, and personal experiences we hold onto. 

This is why our podcast and network are so important, we offer spaces and resources for women to find themselves, embrace their layers, and live as their most genuine selves. We continue to add layers to ourselves as we move through the various seasons of life, and all of them are worth celebrating. All the work through our talking points and key questions comes together to create a foundation for you to go on your own journey. They are there to take with you wherever you go and remain forever. Be intentional with how you use them and answer them, remaining curious through your responses. 

Think of what these conversations look like for you, taking inspiration from the conversations between Melissa and our guests each week. It’s a great ice breaker to use with new people or to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Not sure where to begin? The Embracing Layers Network has a plethora of resources to use, including one on one time with Melissa. It’s never too late to start living as your healthiest, most authentic self.
