  • How to Move On, Let Go of Past Mistakes, and Create a Better Future
    Jul 24 2025

    Today’s episode is a deeply honest conversation about what it takes to let go of mistakes, forgive yourself, leave your past in the past, and create a new version of you.

    In this moving episode, Mel sits down with her friend Carl Lentz, a former megachurch pastor, who watched his life implode in real time.

    Carl doesn’t dodge the truth: His actions shattered trust, cost him his career, and nearly destroyed his family.

    But this is not a story about scandal.

    It’s about what you do after the worst moment of your life.

    It’s about the courage to face what you’ve done, to stop running, to forgive yourself — and to rebuild something stronger from the wreckage.

    Carl doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out. What he offers is honesty without excuses, wisdom forged in pain, and a raw invitation to stop letting your past dictate your future.

    If you’ve made mistakes, if you’re struggling to forgive someone, if you're trying to put the pieces back together, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Because you are not your worst moment.

    And your next chapter is still yours to write.

I skipped ahead for this one because I really needed it. And boy did it help. I had almost canceled on a friend because I was afraid they didn’t like me as much as I liked them. I was afraid their life was a party and I was just boring, a chore for them. Yes, I really needed this podcast. I was telling myself 2 of the 5 lies, right there. Thanks for the help Mel. I even shared this with another person I thought might benefit from it.

This helped so much. I do not, as of right now, have a big vision/goal for myself. I use to make a list the night before if goals I had for the following day, til someone said I wasn’t thinking big. Til that moment, I was doing most if not all of them. It popped my balloon that I stopped and don’t do that nor have a big goal. It was like the vision board, was told big goals. I don’t have any other than getting thru Christmas with our store as I work on getting it restocked right now as we just brought a trailer load home. Yes I’m listening to you on pod casts and audible as I’m doing so. Now to get going on setting my small goals again. Thank you for telling me I was working on the big goal, tho I may not know it or realize it at this time. Sending you much love and so glad to hear your voice after hearing how ill you sounded last time 💜💜🙏🙏💜💜👐👐💜💜

Thank you so much Mel
