Have you ever felt as if your life is not your own - that someone or something else is in charge? Have you ever been held captive by a hijacker such as addiction, abuse, fear, rejection, sickness, or poverty? Instead of identifying how it happened and changing your mindset, you may be wasting precious time wondering, "Why me?"
Hi, I'm Melanie and I've been there and I know that you can change your thinking and take control of your life. That's why I wrote my book, "I Don't Think So," and why I took it a step further and created an intensive 8-session online Bootcamp where I could guide people through the change process. I'm an author, speaker, mentor, and coach and I am an expert in helping people leave behind the why me mentality and take control of their lives. Not only is my story of victory inspiring, but it can also empower you to find victory in your life.

I lived for a long time in survival mode. But today I’m far more than a survivor. I went from survival to struggle, to stable, to experiencing success again in many areas of life. Every step was a step up! I had to learn to re-create the life I wanted as I went.
In this episode, I talk about:
The meaning of salvation: nothing broken and nothing missing
The difference hope makes
How God created when everything was dark and void
Framing my world using God’s word
Creating a masterpiece of my life

The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness. It’s something many of us know we are supposed to do but don’t even really understand what it is. Feeling like we should forgive when we don’t understand can make us feel like even more is required of us, after already being hurt.
In this episode I talk about:
How forgiveness is FOR us
How forgiveness is not saying “It was okay,” or “It was nothing.”
What forgiveness really means
How we can never be repaid for being wronged
How freedom comes from forgiveness
Forgiveness as a weapon

Overcoming Rejection
I was born rejected. I was unknown, unplanned, unexpected. Even though it wasn’t about me, and I hadn’t had any choice in being born, I experienced rejection. It didn’t just affect me emotionally; it became my identity.
In this episode I talk about:
Rejection as a way of thinking
Seeking acceptance but expecting rejection
How rejection seeks proof of its own existence
Reasons for rejection
The moment we believe we are rejected
Freedom from rejection based on God’s word

Uncovering The Lies
Not everything we believe is true. For us to act on the pain in our lives, we must confront the beliefs that have held us in captivity to that pain. The problem is, we are probably unaware of the lies that we have believed because if we thought they were lies we wouldn’t have believed them in the first place.
In this episode I talk about:
The tension between the feeling the pain and taking action
The lies that were holding me
Asking for mercy
Uncovering the lies
How lies separate us from God
Changing my world by changing my mind

Pain Is A Signal
While it seems obvious that pain is a signal, the truth is that when pain happens gradually or when we blame ourselves for the pain we feel, it’s easy to see pain as an emotion and not a signal.
In this episode I talk about:
Abuse is a gradual process
When we see pain as an emotion
When we believe it’s our fault
How complaining relieves the pressure but doesn’t change anything
How I freed myself by changing my mind
Pain is a signal

Hijacking
What does it even mean to be hijacked? And how do we stop it if it does happen?
In this episode, I talk about:
Hijackings in the lives of ordinary people
God’s heart toward captivity
The stories we tell ourselves
How we try to navigate circumstances instead of escaping captivity
How to know if we’ve been hijacked
The power of “I Don’t Think So”

Captivity Begins With A Thought
Things happen to all of us. It isn’t the event or the experience itself that determines how we are affected; it is our response to the event or experience that is the deciding factor.
In this episode, I talk about:
Our response to life’s challenges
What determines our value
How I was hijacked by rejection, abuse, and terror
How my thinking led me into captivity as an adult
Understanding that what happens to us is not a reflection of who we are

This Way Of Thinking
In this week’s hope-filled podcast, I’m talking about a life-changing moment that changed the way I saw everything. It felt as if someone removed a set of colored glasses I had been wearing my entire life but didn't know were there. I saw everything differently from that moment on. It enabled me to change my story and it can inspire you with the hope to change your story.
In this episode, I talk about:
Living in survival mode
A moment that changed the way I thought about my whole life
Discovering what a victim mentality is and understanding how it had affected my life
The hope that came through realizing I could change my life by changing my way of thinking
What to do if you’re going through hell
