There's an old bible story and verse about a man who points the finger at someone else's mistakes and mishaps when, in fact, he has even bigger mistakes and mishaps of his own. Last week, Mel laid into Kel when Kelly mentioned she was thinking about trying a non-prescribed medication. Keep in mind, Kel did not take it. She was thinking about taking it. She listened to the reasoning and wisdom of many of their listeners. Done.Except it wasn't done for Mel. Conviction hit home. While she handed a verbal beating to her bestie during episode #134, Mel had forgotten how she recently blew it in a big way too. Tune in this week to hear the humble pie story. And, if you feel convicted, too, be sure to schedule your doctor appointments!

It's an old concept but used by psychologists, goal-driven people, high-achievers, and anyone wanting to live a more positive life.The concept was developed by a surgeon back in the late 1950s. Dr. Maxwell Maltz noticed that not all of his cosmetically altered patients were satisfied with their results, even if the change was exactly what they wanted. There was more to self-image than what one could see. Psycho-Cybernetics is a book Mel is enjoying right now. In this week's episode, you and Kel can hear the summary of things and decide for yourself if this type of book might interest you. Plus, there are four simple steps we can all put into practice right away.Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell MaltaPathological Positivity by Paul JenkinsIf you find value in this week's episode, Mel & Kel would love you to share it in your Instagram or Facebook story.
