Why Falling Apart Can Be Part of Moving Forward
Once a week, Melissa and I unplug. We unplug from our email and our phones. We unplug from our work with OhMyGod Life. We even unplug from each other! I go into my office, shut the door, and spend the day reading and watching my favorite shows and movies. Melissa does...
How I Learned to Claim My Power by Giving It Away
I’m a little embarrassed to write this post. Okay, maybe more than a little. I would say I’m surprised I haven’t written about this already, given that it happened so long ago. But I’m not really surprised. Given the embarrassment factor. So let’s dive in, shall we?...
What Can I Do About My Constantly Complaining Coworker?
Dear Meli, I have a great job. I've been there over a decade and I love it. I feel like I'm doing good work and I'm appreciated by my clients and my coworkers. There's only one area where I'm experiencing conflict, and that's with a new coworker. She is extremely...
My Covid Miracle Part 2

How Can I Trust My Age-Gap Relationship?
Dear Meli, I'm in love! This should be good news, right? And it is. But he's a lot younger than me. I'm in my 50's and he's in his 30's. I got divorced from my husband a few years ago and I thought I'd spent the rest of my life as a happily-divorced older woman. I was...
How Do I Handle My Pervasive Dissatisfaction?
Dear Meli, I feel funny writing you. My life is going great. I have my dream job. I'm in a great relationship. I have a small group of close friends. There's nothing wrong. Except I feel off. I can enjoy my life at times, but other times it feels like nothing truly...
My Covid Miracle
If you think Covid is a hoax, you might want to skip this post. If you don’t like when people find silver linings – or entire pieces of silver – in the midst of challenges, you might want to skip it as well. Almost four years after Covid first made its pesky...
You Can’t Manifest Something New Without Doing This
Here’s what a lot of folks think the manifestation process is like: You pick a new thing you want to manifest in your life. You meditate. You say affirmations. You make a vision board. When the new thing comes, it fits neatly into your life. Like the final piece of a...
What Do I Owe My Neglectful Parent?
Dear Meli, I had a really hard childhood. I never met my father and my mother was a drug addict who was abusive and neglectful. I lived in and out of foster homes for most of my teens. Fortunately, my life is way better now. I'm happily married and have kids of my...
How Do I Tell My Partner I Hate Their Cat?
Dear Meli, I recently got together with an amazing person. We met in our spiritual community and we have so much in common. There's only one area of difference: Pets. But it's a pretty big difference! We're talking about moving in together and they have a cat. I...
Why Am I So Nervous About My Sibling’s Sobriety?
Dear Meli, My brother lost his husband about five years ago. Prior to his husband's death, my brother had been sober for fifteen years. However, the death of his spouse proved too much to bear, and my brother went off the wagon. He would get sober again for a few...
