Show by Maintaining Melinda / Melinda Brillinger Founder Of The Bloom

Welcome back to The Greenhouse Podcast. In this episode, host Melinda Brillinger looks ahead to the holiday table 🍂 and the roles we all slip right back into the minute we walk through the door.Were you the easy one growing up? The strong one, the one who always has it together, or at least looks like she does?Melinda shares how she learned to stay small, be agreeable and never ask for too much, and how she became the one nobody had to worry about, packing the car, making the plans, making the list 📋. When you make everything look effortless, people stop checking in on you. Not because they don't love you, but because we taught them they don't need to. She also shares a piece of her weight loss story, and what she learned when losing 120 pounds didn't fix her: she was never broken, she was untended 🌿. This episode is a warm, gentle reminder that being strong and needing help can live in the same heart.🌿 Your Tiny Seed Action for Today: Choose one person you trust.
