Dear Melodee, I just wanted to thank you for all of the energy that you and all of the coaches pour into Pretty Focused. I have had, as they say, a year! I lost my best friend and sister-in-law, my nephew, and have just been struggling with life in general. I'm not one to post about hardships or to ask for help, but I wanted you to know how uplifting this message was to me. I have lots of recipes that I’ve developed and not yet photographed, and a couple of recipes that I have completed and are ready to post. I look at them and I think, am I good enough? Do I have what it takes to do this consistently? What if they don’t sell? At the same time, I look at a whole range of other’s recipes and think ok, I can do this. Well, this morning I listened to this podcast and also to a Mel Robbins podcast about how to stop doubting myself. It's been really helpful to know that I'm not the only one with these thoughts! I've missed being involved with this community! I just wanted to let you know how impactful this episode was for me. ❤️
