"The light, I've come to know through this program, is something within us all the time, even when we hide it."
To relearn the capability of the soul is an entire journey in itself. One can stray so far from the course that they fall into a dizzying pit of darkness, searching for the way out towards the light. The light, I've come to know through this program, is something within us all the time, even when we hide it.
Never did I realize just how constant my judgments on the world truly are. Once you start to listen in on your inner voice, it becomes clear you do it every single day.
Once I began to change judgments into well-thought out words of wisdom, I came to find more inner peace.
With Melinda's patient help, after years of traversing this cave I found enlightenment. Having faith in creativity, absence of judgment, mindfulness and yearning questions have changed my life.
I'm more than happy I began this journey. Now, as I apply all the tools to my real life, I've come to find it's changed drastically. This experience has allowed me to gain my own control again, instead of waiting for the world to control itself. When I realized all I was doing, I almost gave a chuckle. A lot of this all seems so simple now, but when you're in the dark, you don't even look outside yourself. I'm proud to say I've reclaimed my creativity, slowed my judgement, opened my mindfulness and began asking the most powerful questions of my life. This is the new chapter to my fulfilled life here on Earth. Thank you!

“If you want to live a life overflowing with hope, confidence & compassion, working with Melinda is the answer you are looking for!”
Feeling lost and vague about what I should do, I was looking for new ideas to increase my happiness, find more peace and become clear about my purpose in life. This course delivered so many ideas and tools for my personal growth!
Melinda created a safe environment to share our inner thoughts. I truly appreciated feeling secure so I was able to achieve new perspectives about myself which allowed me to let go of long-held barriers. The gentle kindness and encouragement of Melinda gave me courage to let down my towering blockades.
As I move forward, I now have the confidence to lead a responsive life rather than a reactive one. No matter what I attract, I have the tools to look at matters in an objective manner and remove or reduce negative emotions before they spiral downwards out of control.
I have learned how to choose wisely to change my life for the better while having fun doing it. The triggers which could take me out are still with me; but, the more I follow the tools Melinda generously gave me, the less impact my triggers have on my daily life.
I spend sooooo much less time in a woe-is-me attitude.
I am so thankful! If you want to live a life overflowing with hope, confidence, compassion and purposefulness working with Melinda is the answer you are looking for!

"She helped me see that I never lost my power, that I just needed to give myself the space to find it."
As a mom with a toddler son that has developmental delays I have had my fair share of feeling isolated, hopeless, and confused. Between loving my son, advocating for him and navigating the unknown, finding balance as a wife, mom, and friend felt near impossible. The sad thing is I got used to this stress and didn’t see that I was losing control. Fortunately, Melinda Burkhart and her program Joyfully Different Parenting helped me see that I am not helpless to my situation, but instead can make choices and changes to get my strength & joy back! From the start, she created a nonjudgmental space that allowed me to feel safe. She normalized my experience with my son and gave me an opportunity to be both educated & supported as a mom. That in itself meant so much to me. Our weekly meetings, helped me pause life and look at my journey from a new lens. A new perspective of seeing potential and hope in the beauty of my son’s disabilities and strength in myself as a mother. From her PowerPoint discussions and years of clinical experience she helped me switch the words “ I should” into “I can” and “I will.” She helped me see that I never lost my power, that I just needed to give myself the space to find it. As we ended the 6 weeks I was so grateful to utilize what I had learned and regain the joy I didn’t know I was missing. Thank you much for creating a program of inclusion for parents like me and supporting us on this journey!
