Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Magnetic Creator Podcast, Melanie shares a simple but powerful shift to help you take back control of your energy, happiness, and peace. As the world feels increasingly chaotic and charged with fear and frustration, it’s easy to get swept up in the noise. But Melanie reminds us that true peace and happiness come from within—and that we always have the power to choose it.

Drawing from personal experiences, lessons from A Course in Miracles, and wisdom from Thich Nhat Hanh, this episode challenges you to ask: “Would I rather be happy or be right?” Learn how this mindset shift can help you reclaim your power, stop feeding the chaos, and create a ripple effect of peace and joy in your life.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “peace” is an inside job: How to find calm and happiness no matter what’s happening in the world.
• “Would you rather be happy or be right?”: How choosing happiness over being right can help you reclaim your energy.
• The difference between making noise and making a difference: Why focusing on your power to create is more impactful than being caught in frustration or division.
• How collective energy impacts you: Why it’s easy to get swept up in collective fear and chaos—and how to step out of it.
• How to reclaim your power in micro moments: Using present-moment awareness to shift your energy and focus towards peace and joy.

Key Takeaways:

1. Happiness is a choice. Ask yourself, “Am I choosing to be happy or to be right?” This mindset shift puts you back in control of your energy.
2. Peace happens inside of you. It’s not something external, and it doesn’t depend on circumstances. True peace is always accessible when you reconnect with yourself.
3. Stop feeding the noise. When you engage in arguments or focus on what’s wrong, you drain your power. Instead, focus on your own vibration and what you can create.
4. Your power lies in the present moment. Life is happening right now. Don’t ruminate on the past or obsess over the future—choose joy and peace in the present.
5. Make a difference, not just noise. Shift your energy from frustration to creation. You’ll have a bigger impact by holding a vibration of peace and possibility.

Melanie’s Personal Story:

Melanie reflects on her experiences living in Belize and California, contrasting the calm, slow-paced energy of the jungle with the intense and frazzled energy in the U.S. She shares how being sensitive to energy has shaped her understanding of the collective chaos we often get caught in—and how she consciously chooses to reconnect with peace and joy, even when the world feels overwhelming.

She also recounts how a phrase from A Course in Miracles—“Would you rather be happy or be right?”—shifted her perspective decades ago and continues to guide her choices today.
