I subconsciously believed I was not important enough to deserve others\u2019 time, attention or love.I struggled with feelings of inadequacy, of not being \u201cenough\u201d and of trying to earn my right to all the good in my life. This led to false guilt whenever I felt anything other than happiness.And so, the downward cycle began of not feeling worthy or deserving of success, of good experiences, of happiness. In trying to earn that right it became apparent that my life was out of balance and I experienced a difficult and painful wake-up call that changed my direction.This challenging time led me to more fully understand the nature of human beings and what is truly needful for us to be happy and find peace, and that I had been going about it all wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><em>Knowing how difficult the struggle is and having experienced the painful process of change, I find joy in helping others come to understand and accept themselves in truth and light.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"899\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image.jpeg 899w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-263x300.jpeg 263w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-768x875.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"742\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1-742x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1-742x1024.jpeg 742w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1-218x300.jpeg 218w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1-768x1059.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1-1114x1536.jpeg 1114w, https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-1.jpeg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:81px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Growing up, I knew I had a gift of listening and for providing a safe place for people to be heard.
