Is It Okay to Have No Ambition?

Is It Okay to Have No Ambition?

Dear Meli, My best friend is a writer. She has had a really successful career. She doesn't do anything to provoke this, but I often find myself comparing myself to her. I haven't focused on my career at all in this lifetime. I have a steady job, but it's mostly to pay...

How Do I Let Go of Embarrassment?

Dear Meli, A few years ago, I had an incident with a friend. The incident is so embarrassing to me, I can't even tell you what happened. My friend and I are good now, but I can't let go of my embarrassment. I've tried meditation. I've tried release work. I've tried...

Is It Ever Okay to Lie?

Dear Meli, What do you think about lies? Do you think we should never lie? I ask because I sometimes find myself telling white lies. Like, I have a coworker who wants to be good friends with me and I don't feel the same way. When they ask me to get together, I say...

How Can I Handle the Return of My Addiction?

Dear Meli, My drug of choice is food, especially sugar. For many years, I had it under control. And then came 2022. For whatever reason, I found myself back in the food. I don't attend 12-step meetings, because they never worked for me. I do have a spiritual practice,...
