I've watched other interviews with Glennon Doyle Melton and I have to say that this on is by far the best!

[@beltstyles3610]

Thank you! What she is doing is exactly what I am trying to do.

[@katarinaogilvie4238]

“Write from your scars not your wounds” wow. Isn’t this just true for all experiences? Amazing xx 🌈

[@mimiseton]

Lots of inspiring ideas, beautifully articulated, Glennon. And thanks to Kelsey for being a non-invasive interviewer with a warm, appealing presence but without the need to derail the attention back to yourself. Good job!

[@isisthegoddess8380]

THIS VIDEO WAS HANDS DOWN JUST WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!! A MILLION THANKS KELSEY !!!! GLENNON YOU'RE AMAZINGGGGGGGG, THANK YOU FOR THIS MESSAGE!!!!

[@DavidToppMelanieScot]

This is an exceptionally WELL DONE interview. Of course, Glennon gives her amazing & brilliant answers but you Kelsey have done your homework and ask well thought out questions. Two thumbs way, way up.

[@VeronicaKrestow22]

Love! Love! LOVE! 💗 Thank you both for a deeply enriching and soulful dialogue.

[@karenwhynott6487]

Thank you.. inspirational... both of you!

[@andreadawsonmusicvid]

wow... I am so happy I happened across this channel... its the best thing for me right now....

[@RosanasChannel]

Thank you for another amazing interview, Kelsey. Here are the ideas that most resonated with me: “We write from our scars, not from our wounds” “I can’t hate the people who hate me, because I’m too busy loving the people who love me” “Everything beautiful in the world was made from people who were not ready” “Write as if you were being paid, until someone shows up and pays you” “The purpose of having a heart is not to return it untarnished, what breaks your heart is the clue that points you to your path of service” “Create something and then rest”. Repeat. “Do the next right thing, and don’t ask anybody about it” And here is the translation to SPANISH, just in case: "Escribimos desde nuestras cicatrices, no desde nuestras heridas" "No puedo odiar a la gente que me odia, porque estoy demasiado ocupada en amar a la gente que me ama" "Todo lo hermoso del mundo ha sido creado por personas que no estaban listas" "Escribe como si te pagaran, hasta que alguien aparezca y te pague" "El propósito de tener un corazón no es devolverlo sin heridas, lo que rompe tu corazón es la pista que te dirige a tu camino de servicio" “Crea algo y luego descansa". Repite. "Haz la siguiente cosa correcta, y no preguntes a nadie acerca de ella"

[@chelsead.s.maverick7200]

Thank you for putting effort into filming this - both of you for following your purpose this is the core to what drives me and it feels motivating to hear others I respect are on the same wavelength. 🎉 I will save this and rewatch anytime I’m lost ❤

[@kathrynlandreth398]

You+Glennon=Magic!!!

[@raisingmaxi1601]

Thank you, ladies!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

That was AWESOME and so very INSPIRING! I especially loved what Glennon said about resting and replenishing the soul. That’s super cool that you know how to play the piano. You gals looked beautiful!

[@taisekwadziruni7108]

Go girl power!!!

[@TheMagicCrafter]

Had to watch this again because it was so great! ♥ My biggest insight this time around? "Figure out what breaks your heart. That is the clue to your purpose." ♥ Now my brain won't shut up! XD

[@nikkinorton9397]

I love, Respect your dreams.

[@oneragglette]

Well done, Kelsey! So much good happening.

[@edifymeblog7076]

Great message for women struggling to figure "it" (life, love, themselves) out. I feel like less of a freak now. Thank you!!

So inspiring! Love the questions you asked, and how you seem to stay present and open in the moments while you listen. The highlight reel at the end is brilliant. Could see you having your own TV interview show!

I greatly appreciate her fantastic hand gestures. If I mute this video, it'd still be fascinating. That says a lot about her charisma.

[@AislingFitzGibbon]

Great video Kelsey, this is a really helpful interview. Thank you both. :)

[@thekelseyshow]

Thank you for watching!

[@ibensofiejnch9464]

Hey :) Still admiring your work here from little Denmark. You are doing a great job - and you are very inspiring, carry on warrior! It´s a little scary, in my head, I have a list of people, that I admire, and dream about meeting and interviewing some day. And you seem to meet them one at a time ... Gary Vaynerchuk, Tony Robbins and Glennon Doyle Melton was in my top ten. If you tell me, that you are planning on interviewing Iyanla Vanzant after this, I´ll start to wonder, if you sneakpeaked at my list ... Oprah is my numero uno, who is yours?

[@thekelseyshow]

Thank you so much Iben! Yes, big Oprah fan! She and Ellen are at the top of my list!

[@ny-es3wd]

Off topic, but what was the song playing over 40:24? The interviews are getting so much better too. Keep it up we're rooting for ya :)
