I am so very excited about this class…and wanted to kinda urge you to really think about joining me in the classroom if you have the same kinds of destructive messages running through your mind that so many other women do….

I used to hear those messages in my head too.

Over the last few months, as I have been neck deep in writing the curriculum for this course, talking and talking and interviewing women about these issues…and doing a ton of studying….one thing keeps coming up that makes me want to gather every single woman I know to do this course, whatever it takes….that thing is this:
WE WASTE A TON OF OUR LIVES, MISS OUT ON A TON OF WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES, AND REFUSE TO DO A LOT OF THINGS WE REALLY WANT TO DO ….

…because we are too busy WORRYING, OBSESSING and PUNISHING OURSELVES OVER HOW WE LOOK.

After doing the SOUL RESTORATION courses last year, and really getting in touch with what my heart is saying to me….I realized that there were so many things I wanted to do with my life…and there were just as many things that I wanted to STOP doing. I worked really hard on both of those things…and suddenly, my body started to cooperate with me too. I started to explore what that correlation was, and found some really wonderful ways to work through body shame and the belief that I had to punish myself with over-exercise and severe dieting if I wanted to have the body I wanted to have. Through journaling and art-journaling exercises…..I really found a way to make peace with my body….I learned to profoundly respect and love this flesh and blood that houses my soul….and through all of that (even though the peace is the best part) I have been able to fairly effortlessly maintain a healthy weight. I want to share all of this with you….but I mostly want to teach you what I learned about how important it is to live the life you want to live RIGHT NOW, not after you are a certain weight, or a certain size….or when your skin is clear or your hair is right……..I want us all to stop waiting to REALLY LIVE.

It is amazing how your body will start to cooperate with you when you are working hard to be happy in other areas of your life. Once you start to focus on other things, you will be shocked to realize how much of your life you have been wasting on feeling destructive things about yourself.

Please remember that this is not a fitness or diet program…this is a companion to your own health goals (even if your goals are as simple as deciding to walk every day and drink more water).
This is a program to get to the WHY of taking care of yourself. This is a program to help you recognize what you have been doing to punish yourself, and how you can start taking care of yourself instead. This is a program that will help you become joyful partners with your body instead of enemies.
I’m so excited to do this class with you……here’s a little video to tell you a little bit more about it.
Sending you all so much love…
xoxo

Disclaimer: Friends, there are literally hundreds of thousands of books published on health and countless programs and experts and philosophies out there. It is important to know that we have no special education, degrees, formal training, or expertise. We do not give advice. We simply share powerful ideas that have worked for us (and that have been applied with enormous success in our Soul Restoration classes) in using art and other creative and enjoyable means to slow down, tap into our own intuition and our own truth, and discover some of the thinking that is causing us to abuse our bodies. Our goal is to help each of us learn to honor our beautiful, miraculous bodies as the magnificent gift they are and to live a daily life that is joyfully, peacefully congruent with that knowledge. This program is in no way a substitute for professional treatment for any diagnosed or undiagnosed illness, disease, or disorder.

Sounds awesome Melody… you ROCK!
Hi Melody,
this class sounds so AMaZING and exactly what I need in my life right now more than you know…I have been unemployed since last August and I can’t afford the full $99 tuition at all in my budget. Will you possibly be offering any hardship scholarships? If so please let me know I really need and want to take this class if this is at all a possibility. Thanks so much for considering it. Best Regards, Becky
Oh, and if you want more books to read I have a comprehensive list of books on this subject on my Pinterest board for this here: http://pinterest.com/katesome/books-self-esteem-mindfulness-intuitive-eating/

I would love to join in, funds don’t allow it this close to the holidays. I took Soul Restoration and learned so much and love the format… You should “bundle” classes….lol. Hopefully I can join in later on.
`What a immense blessing this class is going to be….
This is going to change my life!! I just know it!! Soul Restoration 1 and 2 did soooo much for my SOUL!! This is going to CHANGE my BODY!!!
I love you, Melody for this whole Brave Girls thing….it is AMAZING!!!!!
Looking forward to starting this…seems like such a wonderful way to connect body and soul.
After having gone through gastric bypass surgery almost three years ago… I still have my negative tapes running through my head. NOW I am thin, however I have a misshapen body to deal with. Losing the weight alone isnt enough, it truly is recording a NEW tape that plays in your head that helps KEEP IT OFF. I hope everyone who wants to do this class, who has a flicker of interest does it. If we don’t love ourselves who will? Melody – I wish you would join every bariatric after life site, page, community.. and share this link!! I know I am going to share it on my Facebook wall!!
This is my first class that I have signed up for. Why am I nervous? I have high hopes and expectations! Can’t wait.
Melody! I am soooooooooooooo excited about this class. As you may remember. my thoughts and feelings go back so far in my life and are so deeply imbedded in my brain, BG Camp opened the door to that caged bird, but I still feel so trapped and in the cage . . . . . . please, please, please teach me to fly!
Kristin – Sounds like you and I need to chat. I am a ‘gastric bypass survivor’ also, lol, three years this coming July.
I have been signed up and really looking forward to it; I really loved the method and the messages from Soul Restoration I and got so much out of it! I guess that crying when reading the mirror photo is a good indicator of how important this subject is. Can’t wait!
I am SO SO SO excited for this class! I need to give my head a shake and stop being negative. I need to learn the “why” I cant wait to start next week
Thank you for coming up with this class! xoxo
oh my gosh, what a needed class! thank you for sharing this with us, and for creating a space to be honest about such a tender subject. xoxoxox
so E*X*C*I*T*E*D to embark on this journey with “brave girls”…
Not sure this is the right place to leave my message. I would love to be a part of your Restorative, in need of restoring. Hopefully I am lucky enough to win your free class
I adore the messages that you are portraying here!! Can’t wait for the course! It will be EPIC! x
I want to let everyone at Brave Girls…everyone who has helped to put this community together, including the boys and men. Thank you, I am so grateful to be a part of the Body Restoration class. I have taken a few classes with you and the women who participate in the classes, it has always been such a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge, push out of my comfort zones and grow. I believe every time you touch one persons life and make them grow in love, you have given the world a gift. So thank you for your continued growth, you help so many people, not just the women, but all the people that that woman comes into contact with. I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful group of people.
Love & Light,
Stacey
