Mel B, former Spice Girl singer who is best known for her bold style and fierce attitude, has recently opened up about the importance of taking “brain breaks.”<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old star, who has three kids from previous relationships, revealed that she loves living on her farm in Yorkshire, a she knew how important it was to take time for herself. <\/p>\n
She often took time to retreat to a quiet part of her property, where her kids and fianc\u00e9, Rory McPhee, couldn\u2019t reach her, just to focus on herself.<\/p>\n
Mel shared with Us Weekly magazine: \u201cI make sure I have my brain breaks where I go to Thailand by myself. I go up to my farm without my phone so my kids or fianc\u00e9 can\u2019t contact me unless they come all the way up to [a different] field.<\/p>\n
“I make space to be able to breathe and feel and sit.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wannabe hitmaker’s farm has really changed since she bought it last year. With three goats, chickens, ducks and two giant Rottweilers, she\u2019s found true peace.<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI\u2019m getting to know myself more and more, especially where I\u2019ve come from, feeling so unconfident and unworthy. I\u2019ve managed to figure out my little road to a peaceful place… I feel safe at all times…<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I bought the farm originally [in 2024], it was just a little barn that had no running water or electricity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just feel like sometimes animals are nicer than people.”<\/p>\n
However, Mel is often accompanied by her eight-year-old “emotional support” dog, Cookie, a mix of Yorkshire terrier and Chihuahua.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mel B, former Spice Girl singer who is best known for her bold style and fierce attitude, has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4317],"tags":[48883,38389,4997,105,50272,50271,32505,218,47583,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-110794","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-about","9":"tag-b","10":"tag-challenges","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-honestly","13":"tag-mel","14":"tag-mental","15":"tag-mental-health","16":"tag-talks","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114526948123493351","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
