Dear Meli, About a year ago, I was asked to be a part of a new business in my town. At first, things were amazing.

Dear Meli, I was in a spiritual community for about 10 years. For a lot of this time, I lived on site with our spiritual leader. I was married when I was in the community, and my husband and I lived there together. And now the tricky part. Our spiritual leader was a proponent of […]

Dear Meli, I recently had a big dream come true. Incredible, right? So why am I feeling so conflicted? I was invited to be a part of a professional organization that I’ve admired for decades. At first, it was great. But now, not so much. The biggest problem is how much energy it takes. I’m […]

Dear Meli, My life is pretty great, but…… It’s also kinda boring? My daily routine is pretty much always the same.

Dear Meli, I am newly back in the dating world after divorcing my wife last year. I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing! Case in point: I recently met someone.

Dear Meli,  I have a cousin who I’m close with. We’re only a month apart in age and we grew up going to the same school. We also share something else – sobriety. At least, we did. I heard from my sister a few months ago that my cousin has started using again. I’m not […]
