What if most of what you call a “problem” is really just a situation you’re walking through? In this episode, Melvin breaks down the difference and shows how that simple shift can change your peace, your decisions, and your life.

Description

Are you carrying everything in your life like it’s a crisis?

In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin shares how losing two sisters, a best friend, and close family members in less than 18 months forced him to see life differently—through the lens of problems vs situations.

He breaks down how mislabeling what you’re facing makes life feel heavier than it needs to be, why imagined situations create real stress, and how grief can be honored without surrendering your purpose.

You’ll learn:

  • Why the words “problem” vs “situation” change the weight you carry
  • How hard seasons can be honored without shutting your life down
  • How imagined situations create real stress
  • How to separate the facts from the story
  • The S.I.F.T. Process™ for seeing clearly
  • A 5-step process to keep situations from turning into bigger problems

If you’ve been feeling stretched, heavy, or overwhelmed, this conversation will help you breathe, think clearly, and respond with intention instead of reaction.
