150: Pursuing Your Life's Purpose & Passion One Step & One Thought at a Time with Melanie Penn

Melanie Penn is a singer/songwriter best known for her original album, IMMANUEL, a retelling of the Christmas story. For many years she was a mainstay of the New York theater scene and played Sandy on the national tour of Grease! with Frankie Avalon. She recently released her 5th album, More Alive Vol. I and is soon to release Vol. II! Currently Mel divides her time between New York City and Nashville. In a time when anxiety and depression are at all time highs, Melanie and I unpack her song "Don't Worry" and how Biblical truths shine the light for us during our darkest moments. Melanie candidly offers us a glimpse into what it is like to be a Creative as she walks out God's calling on her life and uses the gifts and talents He has bestowed upon her.  Toward the end of our chat, we discuss negative self-talk and toxic thinking. Melanie shares a powerful tool to help you analyze your thoughts based on the grammar of each thought.  Please see the blog post at https://www.choose2think.co/blog for all the tips she shares to start living your best thought life today!  Target Scripture: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
