I am speechless. I have been waiting for this moment for my entire adult life. Last week, I met Oprah Winfrey and she absolutely blew me away. Truly. It was one of the single, defining moments of my life. And I will cherish the experience forever. I am still trying to find the words to describe what it was like to finally meet the person I admire more than any other human being on this planet. Oprah made me believe in a bigger vision for my life. Her TV show, magazine Oprah Daily, book club Oprah’s Book Club, books, and movies provided the tools, wisdom, and inspiration that helped me do it. Thank you Oprah for seeing me and inviting me to be on your new podcast. Thank you for all that you do for the world. Thank you for starting The Oprah Podcast. And thank you for reading my book. I am speechless. Thankfully, I have something better than words. I have an invitation for you. Please join me and Oprah Winfrey and take a moment to listen to or watch our conversation on The Oprah Podcast: https://lnkd.in/eUB8j2Ak You can listen to it where ever you listen to podcasts or watch it on YouTube.com/@Oprah This is one of the most important moments of my life and it is an honor to be able to share it with you. ❤️
So Mel, we're not friends IRL. We probably never will be. But I need to tell you that your words, your wisdom, your vulnerability and LOVE (books, podcasts, emails) have lifted and inspired me again and again. Through a personal and professional reinvention, a divorce, loss, becoming a single mom, moving internationally - you were a constant for me (and you now are for clients I support). Hearing Oprah gift YOU with the love YOU GIVE brought tears to my eyes. Celebrating you today, and the ripple your brave, TRUE, authentic and freaking badass self brings to your community and this world. This is a win for us all. And PS - in case nobody told you today, we love you and we believe in you. ❤️🔥😉
Love the part where you talked to Oprah about letting people think and do what they want but you also allow yourself to respond however you like For the longest time, I always struggled with people pleasing but as soon as I became more okay with letting people think and do whatever they like it made life a lot easier Cuz we can't control everyone and everything but we can control how we respond to things
Wow! SPEECHLESS is the perfect word for this moment. Meeting Oprah is a full circle experience for anyone who’s been impacted by her wisdom and legacy. For many of us, Oprah is more than just a TV host, she's an embodiment of possibility, of how big dreams can turn into tangible change. To be invited into that space, to share in that conversation? That’s life-changing. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary experience with us. It's proof that when you stay true to your vision and values, the right doors (and the right people) open for you at just the right time. I can only imagine the impact this conversation is going to have! If you haven’t tuned into The Oprah Podcast yet, it’s a must-listen.
I Love how you said to her, “I heard you “. It brought tears to my eyes. That’s all we need to hear is that someone has “heard us”. Blessings to you Mel from the bottom of my heart.❤️ congratulations on the new book and all the best that life has to offer you. -Myah
Oprah was a huge part of my life from the 90's-2010's. I learned so much from her and her guests 💗
Congratulations on your remarkable achievement! After years of inspiring and uplifting others through your books, podcasts, and various media, being interviewed by Oprah is a well-deserved recognition of your exceptional work. Your dedication and passion have profoundly impacted many lives, and this opportunity serves as a testament to your influence and commitment. Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in all your endeavors.
YOUR FACE IS GOING TO SPLIT from how happy you are to be there speaking with her! I think I was grinning just as hard, having followed you for years and watching your success grow. And here's why: 1. You're relatable and 2. You have actual, easy-to-understand TACTICS for handling life's challenges that I can apply from day one without having to form some deep, esoteric understanding of a nebulous concept, blah, blah, blah. Congrats, and thanks for being you!
You can see the beaming energy in your face, trying to hold it in just by saying thank you. Then you just let it all go with a celebratory shout out. What a peak life moment. So bought. Thank you.

1wOh wow Mel! And now, you are stepping into the path that follows her and will continue the kind of work and inspiration that Oprah provides to others, who look up to you like that...Including me. You're changing lives. I've never commented on your work. Funny you'd post this today, after for me, a night of having a great horned owl on my back porch, hooing through the night. Everytime he hoo'ed, I thought about that podcast where you talked about your own owl story. And here we are with the biggest moment of your life happening today. How cool! Anyway...HOO!
