““Relationships are our biggest mirror, our biggest teachers, and our biggest spiritual assignments.””
I LOVE love.
I love everything to do with love, from finding soulful relationships to enhancing the beautiful relationship we have with ourselves – everything about it fills me with wonder, awe and curiosity. After all, Melissa puts it into words so perfectly:
“[Relationships] are the biggest “game” we play, yet we’re not given a manual on how to play them!”
This book is exactly that – a soul searching, heart opening, expansive relationship manual that guides you towards enhancing every single relationship in your life. Not only that, but Melissa takes you through steps to unleash the most goddess-like parts of yourself to experience “deep love, rocking relationships and soulful sex”. I mean, what’s not to love about that?
If you loved Mastering Your Mean Girl, then you’ll love this – it’s like an upgraded version that gets you thinking about your mean girl as well as how to uncover the deeper parts of yourself so that you’re able to open wide on a greater and more soul-expansive level.
Why I love it:
- We all experience a variety of relationships throughout our lives and reading a soul-expansive, heart-led book such as Open Wide is something we could all benefit from.
- It’s a beautiful read and all the information is easily digestible
- There are hundreds of amazing take-aways and inspo-action steps for you to take
- This book is full of heart-felt anecdotes that demonstrate Melissa’s confidence in vulnerability and questions you to do the same
- After reading the first chapter you’ll already feel ready to open wide and by the end of the book you’ll have the confidence to express more vulnerability yourself
- This isn’t just surface level work – this work is deep – so get ready to uncover parts of yourself that you perhaps didn’t know existed, or reconnect to parts of yourself you might have thought you’d lost
- This isn’t just a book for those in an intimate relationship! This book is about YOU
- Not those you’re in a relationship with – how awesome is that?
- As this book focuses on the individual reading it, it allows you to enhance the relationship you have with yourself first and foremost (something I’m a HUGE advocate of!) so that you can show up better for those around you

Takeaways:
“Any relationship built on fear has an expiration date. But relationships built on love go the distance.”
“Everything is a reflection of us, and what you judge in others, you are ultimately judging and not fully owning within yourself.”
“A lack of alignment doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed. Far from it. It can be an exciting opportunity for growth.”
“We’re all doing the very best we can given the knowledge and understanding we have at that time.”
“It’s important to remember that we teach others how to treat us.”
“Your soulmate is there to add color to your life. To be the embellishment and your complement, but not to complete you.”
