Melissa, I want to tell you what an OUTSTANDING workshop this is. I am eternally grateful and enjoying the ride SO much. We are a group of 6 gathered at my house each week to attend your audio workshop by speaker phone. All 6 of us are having a powerful experience. Thank you!

Melissa, thank you, I appreciate your direct no-nonsense vibes because I have no time to waste; my life depends on my recovery. As a grateful recovered addict in another program, I have worked the 12-steps before, but in working with you in BBA on Compulsive Eating, I feel hope for the first time in years...I am grateful that you are taking the time to walk through the steps with all of us, but especially me."

Melissa, I have been through the BBA work 3 times before and this is by far the best workshop I’ve experienced. You are so thorough and clear with the work, it’s amazing. Your knowledge of the BBA and powerful explanations reminds me of another strong BBA speaker, but with food.
I am loving this workshop, and so are women here in Kentucky we’ve assembled to meet each week for your Audio Workshop. In response to questions, you guide members with awesome considerations, Melissa. I just have to tell you how much I am enjoying this workshop and all that you bring to it. Thank you so much.

I love the audios! I am having the most incredible awakenings in my life and so much is being revealed to me through these audios. Thank you for putting together such a well organized workshop with a spiritual message of depth and weight. Recovery is hard enough; you make the solution easier to access. It gives me so much peace and serenity to be able to find and use everything with a few clicks when I want to.

This is such a brilliant workshop! The changes happening in my life and my relationship with food are nothing more than absolute miracles. I am breaking free of many fears I’ve had for years, asking for the help I need, and repairing relationships with love ones. Just incredible. I needed a message that carries depth and weight in order to recover. I have found this with the Whole In Our Soul workshop and the Big Book Awakening experience. I had recovery in the past, but was not living like a whole person as I am now. Forgiving myself, steering away from morbid reflection of the past, and deepening my connection with God has enabled me to move forward with more days full of joy, wonder and laughter. Taking action to enjoy dreams I have held for years, but that we’re just out of reach, is incredible. Absolutely revolutionary change going on here.

Wow, I was in your last workshop in 2017 and that one changed my life- but I but am having a whole new experience in the Radical Change workshop this year and hearing so much more in the book I missed the first time around. Having a whole new experience!"

I love Big Book Awakening and this step-study I'm in. It gives entirely new meaning to the words in the Big Book and how I see myself. It is the real way for me to experience an internal change and go to a deeper level of recovery where it really happens. God must have had this for me. I don't remember how I found it and nobody is this area really knows anything about BBA or www.WholeInMySoul.com. That, in and of itself, is a miracle! I'm very happy I'm here.

Melissa, I just want to take a moment to tell you how impressed I am with your group facilitation skills. You handle each person and each question or comment from participants with an amazing amount of grace. Thank you for all that you are doing and for caring the message of hope so thoroughly and eloquently each week. I am getting so much out of this workshop!

This BBA step study has been really amazing for me. My greatest struggle throughout all of my years of attempting recovery has been missing this fundamental spiritual approach. Now understanding it’s all spiritual, I keep seeing evidence of my higher power and feeling some connection each day. I am finally having the experience talked about in The Big Book! Thank you for this workshop.

Melissa, I want to thank you for serving as our BBA workshop leader on recovering from compulsive eating. The work we are doing is helping me to experience The Big Book in a new and personal way. I found Bill’s story difficult to relate to in the past, but in doing the work with you, it came alive for me this week. Suddenly, I kept thinking of how much I identified with Bill Wilson and how he was thinking and feeling. I also want to thank you for your encouragement of how to incorporate daily prayer and meditation into my day. The guidance you give each week throughout the workshop is making a huge difference in my recovery. Thank you for your service!

Melissa, thank you so much for all you share in each workshop audio workshop. It really moves me and I am connecting with the deeper realization of my compulsive eating problem. I can see the history and domino effect of the excitement I’ve generated through each diet, the planning around it, fantasizing of what I believe I will get out of that, followed by the downcycle that follows eventually, until I adopt a new diet and then the cycle repeats. I’m just going around and around like a dog chasing its tail with no end - and no point of true satisfaction or peace. I needed a way out.
Seeing the reality of my lack of power to fix myself, I was struck by the need for the kind of revolutionary change discussed in the workshop. Even the concept of nourishing myself with 3 sitdown meals a day was revolutionary to me. I have come to acknowledge my truth is this: I am a real compulsive eater; both over and under eater at various times. Whenever I experience either of these, I physically crave more. I wasn’t clear on this before completing the 7 week process on Step One in your workshop, in which the physical craving and the physical allergy aspect of my disease is explained so clearly. I always thought my problem was in particular foods and tried avoiding those, which at times let me right back into restricting, as there were so many foods at one point that I decided were not OK for me...that eventually led me to over eat again because I thought I was safe to eat the “good foods“ as much as I wanted.
Doing the work of Big Book Awakening has shown me the insanity of the cycle and just how hopeless it is. Thank goodness there is a solution. I am so glad to be a part of this workshop and to go through the process with others like me. Thanks again for caring the message that recovery from this baffling disease is not only possible, but a natural result of completing the 12 steps using the big book awakening method.

Wow! The audio workshop today was SO incredible. I related to so much of what you said, thought and felt throughout your journey. I’m thrilled to be in this workshop with you. Thank you so much. I’ve been wanting a new and deeper experience with the steps, the program and with God. I’m looking forward to going places I have never been before...I am having an experience already. This morning I noticed I didn’t have any thing negative to think or say about anyone or anything. My attitude was kind and loving towards all. And we are only just beginning!
