Mel guides the Burnout Edit community in such a gentle, compassionate and deeply caring way. Her calming voice and genuine effort to get to know and support each person creates an atmosphere where real change is possible. The classroom has provided me with rich and practical resources that have helped my sleep and social media detox process. There is warmth and wisdom in what she provides, and I highly recommend if you are looking to feel supported and cared for in making changes to sleep, overwhelm, anxiety or a topic of your choice. This community helps to heal and provide lasting change, I encourage you to join and get to know her beautiful work that comes from a place of both personal and professional understanding.

Great community and exceptional guidance

The way Mel guides us is so gentle and so pursposeful. The classroom has incredible resources and I benefit from this everyday.

Mel's community is a breath of fresh air.

Mel's community is a breath of fresh air. The emphasis on doing small things to regulate ourselves is right up my alley, and the toe-dipping into hypnotherapy was welcome. I highly recommend this as a place to really exhale.

Amazing Community and Mentorship

Alli has created something really special in The Village. Between the daily prompts, classroom, weekly zoom calls, and her 1:1 mentorship; it is a space where I feel free to be myself, write ugly without judgment, and feel genuinely supported and encouraged to hear my own voice again. I have been working 1:1 with Alli and have learned so much about myself. She has helped me put words to things I had been feeling for a long time but wasn’t able to explain. She has created and shared tools to help me work through my emotions and finding myself again. Alli has been so thoughtful, supportive, and intuitive from the very beginning, and I feel truly seen and understood. I highly recommend Alli and her community!

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about. Her journaling advice and written prompts are excellent, but what proved even more valuable to me was talking with her one-on-one. The combination of encouragement and plain-spoken truths she delivered allowed me to overcome the worst of my self-doubt and really embrace a sense of confidence. Highly recommend.

Alli is a professional writer and a great person!
