You’ll know when to press pause in your life so you can recharge, and build the strength to take on your biggest challenges.

Based in science, Mel will explain how everyday comforts—whether it’s your favorite cozy blanket or your go-to spot on the couch—can actually make you more resilient and help you break through self-sabotage, fear, and resistance. 

Plus, you’ll hear from world-renowned Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Robert Waldinger, who shares the surprising science behind comfort rituals and why they’re essential for staying grounded in a chaotic world.
