Melissa said, " GIRL YOU ARE THE REASON. YOU ARE THE OCCASSION". #Yas

[@Theartsymuslimah175]

I’m writing this on a poster and keeping it on my mirror

[@shighdodd6744]

I feel like I need a CD of just Melissa saying ALL of her inspirational quotes. I am 33 and she is truly speaking about me in this video 💜

[@SD-hs2pk]

Same :)

[@TheMrsSusso]

When she said that weight loss journey and still being worth it at the beginning of it hit my spirit. Down 75 and still felt like I wasn't enough until after. I am worth it. Ive always been worth it. Thank you Melissa❤❤

[@learnliteracywithmonique]

“I am the reason AND occasion!” Put THAT on a shirt! 🙌🏾

🤣🤣🤣

[@nicholedowns888]

Facts!!!!!

[@radiantj4445]

“You’re worth it at the beginning of the journey.” I didn’t realize how I did not feel this until you said it! I receive it and my edges are snatched!

[@shireenajacobs1451]

When liss said “I’m never cool” 😂 😂😂 awww

[@ameenahgamble4978]

“I love it here, man.” - Josh Me too, Josh. Me too. Thank you SOOO MUCH Melissa for those words of encouragement and wisdom. I felt like you were speaking directly to me!

[@artiesha42]

Y'all are my friends in my head. I love Melissa and the genuineness of all y'all platforms 😍😍

[@fitgtgirl]

Me too she is on my list of people I want to me, love her.💕💫

[@jessimoberry]

I wanna be friends with Melissa!!

[@briellejones9550]

My kids are so sweet, the thought of me getting old and/or dying makes them sad. My youngest likes to ask questions like “how old will you be when I’m ___?” If the answer is 50+ they say “Noooo. I don’t want you to get old.” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Lol. They make my heart so full.

[@alicemiriah]

That just made my eyes water and smile. That’s so precious!

[@EOOgunro]

I relate so much to Melissa's talk on appearance and clothing. As a professional church girl lol (saved too yall, just a joke! Lol), I had one of the older women come up to me and ask, "why do you dress so old???" And that BROKE ME DOWN and I never forgot it. I didn't even realize that how I dressed was aging me. And it lead me into a "self-knowledge" and "becoming" phase where I "updated" my wardrobe and paid more attention to how I presented myself. I started to dress more for my age (not over the top or overtly sensual, just more modern/stylish) and my whole self confidence and self image has improved. The clothes transformation wasnt really the main thing, but the fact that it shed light on the inner work i had to do. I had to fully lean in to how the Lord made me and walk in confidence. This part blessed me!!

[@amoyajh]

28:06- ooo the word: Clearance section mentality with full price capability! 30:49-You are worth it; As is; Without change; Without exception!

[@jennijennjen3709]

I love Kev's quasimodo voice so much! Lol it's literally one of my favorite things he does 😂

[@crystalclark2501]

I SCREAM every time he does that voice!! It never gets old!!😂😂

[@jennijennjen3709]

@@crystalclark2501 it is too doggone funny 🤣

[@santanaclark4388]

Melissa, I really hope you read this. This episode helped me IMMENSELY. Can you please write some sort of book on this! As a 30 year old woman I struggle with everything you touched on in this episode and have always felt like it was just me. To know that you’ve had those feelings, overcame them, and are now looking your best and living your best life is truly inspiring. Thank you! This truly is life effecting piece of content.

[@jujubean1986]

She already wrote a book! Get you a copy!

[@angeleyes3386]

I agree. Don’t know why I clicked on this. But glad I did. I was trying to shake out of a 2day rut trying to figure out how to get my confidence back IN A GENUINE WAY. Very helpful!!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Melissa is preaching!!! Thank you for this

[@MotiA.]

I love your wig videos!

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Moti thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@SuchALady215]

Kev: What if the “Full Armor of God” had kitten heels at the bottom? Melissa: It didn’t tho. God wants better for our lives. Kevin: The Kitten Heels of Righteousness . Melissa: To stomp on the devil’s head? Y’all are HILARIOUS!😭😭😭

[@keilahyoung1952]

Melissa!! Now I'm bout sick of you coming for me!😭😭 I needed that part about being worth it as is. This podcast is just the best!

[@makeupmomentsmaria]

Speaking on the settling mentality: I have a friend who goes cheap in everything she does. At first, I thought she was just frugal and responsible with her finances. But then she once said to me that she doesn't like eating in nice restaurants because she feels like she doesn't belong there. It explained alot about how she maneuvers through life, even in personal relationships.

[@lakeishar23]

I had to see if I knew you lol Cause this sound like me

[@caliBornbEauty]

Liss: "I know...I'm 110lbs soakin wet, doesn't matter. Brick house." kev: "You a brick house, babyyy!! There are some small bricks" LOL

[@sammiesmith3454]

Man I started CRYING at 34:10 I needed to hear that! I’m on a journey to really love and take care of myself after a 7 year relationship and I keep thinking that I’m not worthy of love until I reach a certain point in my journey. Man I am boohooing right now.

[@carter394able]

Same.

[@UnapologeticallyKay25]

Same! Hang in there and keep working on yourself. Practice makes progress 🙏🏽❤️

[@sheilah.a]

Melissa the thoughtfulness and intentionality that you share with us is a true blessing! I never get tired of hearing your story. You share new revelations about your journey each time! ❤️

[@BrothaB.RealTV]

Yo J is hilarious “link in the bio link in the bio” 🤣🤣🤣

[@DarkRome28]

I think a 10 to 15 minute episode of Melissa learning new dances would be hilarious! 🤣🤣 Because I here at work crying right now!

[@Truu5StarLifeDriver]

"You're worth it at the beginning of your journey" full circle...journey back to love yourself in those places where you left a small piece of you behind... 🙏🏾

[@Zari229]

Please Melissa, Please!!! I NEEED “Thick Thighs Saves Lives” in my life 😁 I’ll wait on it ! 👏🏾

[@thatoneguy3284]

Lis i hope you see this because you and this podcast have been affecting my life in such a positive way. I am just so thankful that God made you the way that He did because so many people are benefiting from your words and experiences. You are every much appreciated.

[@AphroHippie]

The kitten heels to stomp on the devil’s head though?! Noooooooo 😭 🤣

[@charray6867]

I pictured them "Kitty/Kitten Heels" and thought about stomping on the 😈 Devil's head. 😃

[@abigaylebelser6936]

Me at 24 relates so much to Melissa. She is very much an inspiration.

[@Jenelle95]

Same!

[@Arun71150]

Love hour gang , you feel me 💕

[@HBoyzFan]

Man this episode was for me. While I love parts of myself I don't love MYSELF and I need to rectify. I bought Melissa's book along with the Big Leap and it is definitely time for a change mentally and physically. Never met Melissa Fredricks in person but she is truly an inspiration just by speaking her testimonies. I am forever a fan

[@cleesimmons1]

She surely is

[@shayjackson3509]

Where did you buy her book?

[@ItsJustDiggs]

That clearance mindset is REAL! That part was for me because I recently became aware of the fact that I say "that's too expensive" way too much. Every time I say it, I accept and REINFORCE a poverty mindset. I told myself I am going to stop holding on so tightly to money and to stop saying that something is too expensive for me. Expensive is relative.

[@zarinadawn]

I love Melissa. I just do. 💖

[@glois80]

Everytime I come here I leave upgraded and I love me some melissa

[@Nevergiveupyall]

I wanna see the "you're worth it.." on a shirt

[@jessicaevans2564]

Hoodie, maybe with some gold

[@charray6867]

Yesssss! That's some merch I will buy.

[@liabooker9480]

And, "You are the reason, You are the occasion!" #tee #hoodie

[@MotiA.]

Think L'Oreal has the rights to that slogan, lol

[@blossomwithgrace]

We like unstructured Melissa too. Either way, you're a vibe girl

[@swaters3667]

I'm 44 years old & SO wish I would've heard this when I was younger but hey, it's never to late. I hope lol🤦‍♀️

[@UniquelyMeAlmaLee]

You are correct, it's never too late to value yourself and understand you're worth it

[@teddystrongjr.7946]

44?! What? You have plenty of time! It is most definitely NOT TOO LATE! And it doesn't have to be a 10 year process like Melissa, but if it is, it's fine, because by that time, you still have plenty of time! Much success!

[@ajordan1847]

Never too late. We're always evolving.🙏❤

[@angeleyes3386]

I was just thinking the same thing at 34. As long as we have breath to breathe we owe it to ourselves. We are worth it!

[@ejefferson7554]

I will be 46 and I keep changing. Revamping my look and my attitude.

[@stephaniemciver1395]

We definitely need a PT 2. I would love to here more examples of what you did for each campaign. Before hearing you mentioned about the campaigns I had just recently declared that I was going to take the next 6 months to work on my mind body and soul to reivent myself. So this is right on time.

[@auntgigi9234]

I need to make myself worth it. It's hard to change the mentality, but I'd like to try.

[@simply85beauty9]

Can we make Lis with the hat a thing? Maybe we talk about self confidence and more self help stuff. I think that would be great 👍🏾

[@christianwatkins7185]

Look, Melissa! You finna have me run around this living room!!🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️ Yes, I'm worth it NOW not AFTER!!

[@honeylove3343]

We couldn’t wear pants to church either 😂😂😂😂

[@TheCSPretty]

Let's talk about coulottes 🤣

[@quietlioness2575]

I'm never cool. Aww! Jayson is so goofy!

[@jennijennjen3709]

I grew up strict pentecostal COGIC. By the time I was allowed to wear pants I wasn't comfortable wearing them. I wear them now but I honestly prefer skirts and dresses.

[@crystalthomas7155]

Same! I still feel uncomfortable in pants though I really want to wear them. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@tobijoseph2690]

Omgggggggg I was literally reading your book LIS! And I was thinking ohh she needs to do a whole podcast on self confidence!! Freaking out....

[@charray6867]

Wow

[@Hephzibah_n_beulah]

Melissa is speaking to my soul!!!! Went through my metamorphosis and came out a 🦋🧚🏾‍♀️👸🏾it took GOD completely isolating me for this to happen..I fought against it so hard & then I completely trusted the process..it’s so liberating..Im finally my complete self & I LOVE IT!!! BTW if I feel like dressing up to go to the family dollar I will, & if I feel like rocking my sweatpants with my hat on I will..PERIODT! Simply Because I AM!!!

[@jesusencounteredtv]

I love it and lowkey want a joshy tapes slash kev and melissa collab episode where you just review all you fav songs from childhood to now.

[@Nishala8]

Ok, you always bring the word, but I had to shout on this one. I will carry this one with me - "I am the reason and the occasion" YAAASSSS!!! ❤❤❤

[@itsjustmeDeneal]

I am 24, single, Christian Jamaican young woman. If Melissa wrote a book. I WOULD BUY IT.

[@lirogers189]

Needed this today. Its rough here in the 'Ville.

It was powerful when I read it in your book and it's powerful now... "I am the reason and the occasion!" Need that in the next merch launch Melissa, PLEASE!

[@crystalclerico8583]

If I knew Melissa in HS we would have been sitting together at lunch for sure! Love all of this. Thank you sharing your genius with us.

[@s06rox]

MELISSAAAAAAAA!!!! I relate so much to your transformation as i've been working through this myself for close to 10years!! that "you are the reason AND the occasion" hit my spirit!!! wheeeww! This was just confirmation that it's okay to just BE! So many nuggets! & getting out of the "clearance mentality" spoke volumes as well! Thank you for your transparency as always!! =) another very rich episode! =)

"Even if you never wear pearls carry yourself as if you are one" -Myles Monroe. I used to be the get up get dressed and look fly just bc i could person. i had a strong mindset of treat myself as a queen even when on a tight budget. Then I got married and had a baby, although I didn't gain weight my self-esteem hit a all time low, here I am a year postpartum and FINALLY STARTING to feel like I LIKE myself again..this was much needed.

[@SPEAKSB]

I admit I put off watching these because I know I’ll cry and here I am crying before work. As soon as she said “you only feel worth it AFTER this.” I lost it 😭

[@UniquelyMeAlmaLee]

Thank you Liss for your transparency and sharing your growth and transformation with us. Sometimes we don't know we need something or that we are going through something until we hear it articulated by someone else.

[@trenicebrown7116]

Melissa sounds like you are an empath. You feel others people's pain and emotions deeply. Embrace your gift but protect your spirit.🤗💜

[@MissLady8806]

I know Jason's been good for a while now but my heart still warms everytime I see him.

[@niecydavis3767]

Omg, lol 😁....if I can be a fly on a wall inside their house! The genuine raw comedy is wonderful & I really admire their example of a Christian marriage and life perspectives! Thank you!! May God continue to bless you!😊

[@Teetee_joliee]

I love the old school idea of growing and glowing together. Something that is truly lost in today's generation. Yall made a pact to be there for each other through thick and thin out of love and respect for both yourselves and God. Your laughing now which is beautiful but you loved on each other through those moments which is even more beautiful. It must feel so good when you both look at each other now. I want that same feeling that's why I won't ever give up on love.

[@yannas8804]

Melissa you be preachin'!! "You are the reason and the occasion" I felt ALL of that

[@veecee5805]

To see you, Blossom in front of your fans is absolutely amazing and motivating. I just did the I am the Reason I am the Occasion! yesterday. Got dressed up to pick my sissy from work and went to Michael's today LOL Shoot even teaching myself how to apply magnetic lashes! Shoot can't tell me nothing! Thank you Sis

Take the blessings and spit out the rest (those narcissists). YOU are worth it, as is, no exceptions.

[@nikkiep23]

Melissa, sis can we get a lookbook??? I love your personal style. I agree with you. Its definitely about self worth and self perception. It doesnt matter how many people solicitate compliments, your inner self may not be there. I've learned to love, accept and appreciate myself but it's truly a journey. Yes yes yes Melissa! I find myself "saving" my clothes for reasons. One of my friends said, girl wear your clothes.

[@Truu5StarLifeDriver]

Y'all are the REALEST. My folks. Eye SO relate to the process you guys covered today. This too has been the soundtrack to my evolution...at 50 eye approve (and strongly suggest) this message! The glow shows too. Allowing yourself to walk in the Mantras you claim is REVOLUTIONARY. This podcast EXUDES.

[@makeupmomentsmaria]

Melissa is extraordinarily cute! Im glad you went thru the campaign to evolve your style.

[@mercysu.6220]

got a few campaigns going myself, thank you Melissa!

[@teehardaway935]

This is a wonderful episode. I am a nee fan of the whole Kevonstage crew. Melissa has something special. Im just waiting to see it come to pass
