Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling dismissed, overlooked, or drained — but you couldn't quite put your finger on why?

You're not imagining it.

Disrespect is everywhere, and often, it’s so subtle that you don’t realize it’s happening until it’s already taken a toll on your confidence, energy, and peace of mind.

In today’s episode, Mel breaks down 6 sneaky ways people are disrespecting you every day — at work, in relationships, even within your own family — and, more importantly, exactly what to do about it.

Whether it’s someone constantly talking over you, dismissing your feelings, or always running late (yep, that’s disrespectful, too), you’ll learn how to respond in a way that protects your energy and commands the respect you deserve.

If you’re tired of feeling unseen, unheard, or undervalued, this is the episode for you.
