In this important and special episode, you will hear the beautiful, profound, and comforting words that are needed in the world right now. When I woke up this morning, I did not expect to have this conversation. But, as I watched the news unfold, I felt overwhelmed and hopeless, seeing a world that feels like it’s spinning out of control. I thought to myself, "If I could talk to one person right now who could give you and me the love, support, and tools that help when you feel scared of the world around you, who would it be?" I knew exactly who I wanted to talk to: Dr. Thema Bryant. Dr. Thema Bryant is a scholar, minister, and tenured professor at Pepperdine University. A clinical psychologist who completed her postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical Center’s Victims of Violence, Dr. Thema Bryant is the current president of the American Psychological Association and has published multiple best-selling books. Every time I listen to her speak, she radiates so much love, perspective, and soft empowerment to help you face whatever is going on in your life. I seriously feel my soul exhale whenever she speaks, and that’s why I wanted her to talk to you and me through this difficult time. Whether you’re watching tragedy play out in the news or things are happening for you globally, nationally, locally, or even in your own living room, this is a conversation that will help you. You don’t have to be directly impacted by what is going on out there in the world to feel the uneasiness and overwhelm inside you.

Dr. Thema will guide you in navigating your feelings. She’ll explain to you with reassurance and wisdom how exactly to process what is going on, while still staying connected with yourself. If you don’t feel like you have a soft or safe place to land or don’t know how to sort through overwhelming feelings, this conversation will feel like a gift. Thank you for being here for this and for sharing it with everyone you know and love. Because everyone is in it right now, and we all need some guidance.

Never Enough: 7 Ways to Protect Yourself (and Your Kids) From Toxic Pressure
In this episode, award-winning Harvard-educated journalist and researcher Jenny Wallace is here to discuss “toxic achievement” and the toxic pressure that makes you feel that no matter what you do or what level of success you achieve, it will never be enough. You feel toxic pressure at work, and you feel toxic pressure at home. Jenny Wallace, who just completed a major research study with over 6,000 kids and their parents, is here to tell you this unhealthy pressure is trickling down to your kids, who are buckling under the never-ending demands to measure up. Whether you are sick of spending every weekend racing from one sporting event or club team practice to another, or you are tired of the never-ending video calls that keep you working day and night, one thing is clear: something has to give. Your worth is not determined by the things you achieve. Jenny Wallace is here with the research and the findings that say all this pressure is backfiring because all anyone really wants is to feel like they matter. According to her research, there are seven changes you can make that will boost your kids’ confidence and resilience and get you off this hamster wheel that is leading nowhere. If you struggle with work-life balance and feel burned out, the research will empower you to: Learn the one question to ask your kid that shows you love them.Stop working yourself into the ground to prove your worth.Why you are your harshest critic and the simple things you need to do to become your biggest fan.Snip the tie between achievement and self-worth.Unplug yourself from the stress loop of other people and never get rattled again.The 3 things you can do to show people you love that they matter to you.Stop beating yourself up for not having the perfect home or getting A’s on every test, and prioritize what really matters instead. I want you to get off the hamster wheel and stop being obsessed with achieving, having, and winning. You hold the key to helping yourself and others feel like they matter in this world. It’s time to unlock it. Xo, MelIn this episode:1:00: Not gonna lie; I started freaking out big time after this conversation.5:30: What exactly is grind culture?7:40: The opposite of toxic achievement is healthy achievement.8:30: How did we get sucked into this way of thinking?10:00: Harvard survey learned powerful information about parents.14:00: Students who felt this were more likely to be healthy achievers.17:25: What is social proof and why is that such a big deal?18:40: Kids who feel they don’t matter will find ways to prove they do.20:00: Do this when you don’t feel like you matter.23:10: The one question you can ask to let your kids know they matter.25:30: 80% of workers have not heard this from their bosses last year.27:10: Many people don’t express their gratitude for others because of this.28:00: Here is what to say to your kid when they get a bad grade.28:30: A mantra to play on repeat with your family.30:30: Why good enough is perfect.32:00: The #1 intervention for any kid, and adult, in distress.33:30: An incredible study of mothers who met to share their struggles.37:30: How do we parents erode our kids’ self-confidence?39:00: Keep this phrase in your head to let your kids know they matter.40:40: How are household chores helpful for kids?42:00: Say this to your kids to get them to do their chores.46:00: Jennifer stopped doing this with her kids after reading the research.48:20: Focus on these values at home instead.49:05: Forget the grades and focus on what teachers say about your kids.50:00: The one question to ask teachers at your next conference.51:00: We all have a responsibility to do this and it will come back to us.

Trust Your Gut: The Science and Spirit of Intuitive Decision-Making
In today’s episode, prepare to open your mind to larger possibilities and amazing capabilities that you already have. I am sitting down with intuitive psychic medium Kim Russo, who is here to share her gift and tell you how you can get in touch with your intuitive gift, too. I first learned about Kim from Oprah Winfrey and immediately knew I needed to get her on the talk show I hosted. What happened next changed my entire life. When Kim was just a child, she realized she could see people who’d passed away, and nobody else was seeing them. After years of denying it, she decided to lean into her incredible skill. A skill she says you have too. If you’ve ever sensed somebody’s with you, you’re right. Kim says we travel with two or three loved ones at all times. Have you ever had that little voice in your head or gut feeling about something? Kim says that your loved ones are trying to guide you. This episode is remarkable because you are not only going to learn how Kim tapped into her abilities, but you'll also learn how you can tap into yours. Kim has helped MILLIONS tune into their innate intuition by teaching them to quiet their minds and listen to their inner voice to figure out the next step. Are you skeptical? I was, too. Until she gave me a message from my dead father-in-law. It is the reason I sold my Boston home after 26 years and moved to southern Vermont. She changed my life forever. What Kim will teach you is invaluable; you will learn: What intuition is—and it’s not crazy woo-woo stuff.Why that little voice in your head is actually right—and you need to listen to it.The simple but powerful lessons she learned from those who have passed over will make your shoulders relax instantly.That every soul on this planet has a purpose, and how to find out what yours is.What the brain-heart connection is and how it instantly gives you the information you need right now.That you have souls supporting you from the other side, and how to connect with them. Kim will show you why and how we must open up our minds and hearts to new possibilities and use the guidance of our loved ones to navigate life. You just have to listen. Xo, Mel In this episode:2:00: Hearing this might change your life.4:30: The mind-blowing session with Kim Russo that still gives me chills.6:40: Nobody knew we’d been discussing a move to Vermont.8:50: Now we live in an entirely new state because I trusted in the guidance.11:20: What is an intuitive psychic medium and why doesn’t Kim like that title?16:15: Kim knew something was different about her from a young age.22:50: This news Kim shared felt really comforting to me.28:25: Kim was a “normal mortal” until she did this.33:20: What should you do if you think you have a psychic gift?39:00: You’ve had an experience where you were a “medium in the moment”.41:15: How do you tap into this kind of energy?45:25: What the heck is a ‘soul contract’?47:40: A powerful question to ask yourself when making a big decision.49:30: The three biggest life lessons Kim says you need to hear.52:10: Two things people can do to develop their intuition. 57:20: Try this cool experiment on your own to prove how intuitive you are.59:10: That night in the pouring rain with the owl was a spiritual experience.1:04:20: Is being an empath a form of mediumship?1:05:30: Do you get anxiety that comes out of nowhere?

Until she gave me a message from my dead father-in-law. It is the reason I sold my Boston home after 26 years and moved to southern Vermont. She changed my life forever. What Kim will teach you is invaluable; you will learn: What intuition is—and it’s not crazy woo-woo stuff.Why that little voice in your head is actually right—and you need to listen to it.The simple but powerful lessons she learned from those who have passed over will make your shoulders relax instantly.That every soul on this planet has a purpose, and how to find out what yours is.What the brain-heart connection is and how it instantly gives you the information you need right now.That you have souls supporting you from the other side, and how to connect with them. Kim will show you why and how we must open up our minds and hearts to new possibilities and use the guidance of our loved ones to navigate life. You just have to listen. Xo, Mel In this episode:2:00: Hearing this might change your life.4:30: The mind-blowing session with Kim Russo that still gives me chills.6:40: Nobody knew we’d been discussing a move to Vermont.8:50: Now we live in an entirely new state because I trusted in the guidance.11:20: What is an intuitive psychic medium and why doesn’t Kim like that title?16:15: Kim knew something was different about her from a young age.22:50: This news Kim shared felt really comforting to me.28:25: Kim was a “normal mortal” until she did this.33:20: What should you do if you think you have a psychic gift?39:00: You’ve had an experience where you were a “medium in the moment”.41:15: How do you tap into this kind of energy?45:25: What the heck is a ‘soul contract’?47:40: A powerful question to ask yourself when making a big decision.49:30: The three biggest life lessons Kim says you need to hear.52:10: Two things people can do to develop their intuition. 57:20: Try this cool experiment on your own to prove how intuitive you are.59:10: That night in the pouring rain with the owl was a spiritual experience.1:04:20: Is being an empath a form of mediumship?1:05:30: Do you get anxiety that comes out of nowhere? This might be why.1:07:00: You have a field of energy around you. (Scientists call it a biofield.)1:10:25: How do you “read” other people? Want more resources?

Yes, You Can Make a Difference: This Remarkable Story Will Inspire You to Do Something Big
In today’s episode, author and entrepreneur Lorenzo Lewis tells you the amazing story of how he is changing the lives of over 3 million people a year. His story is so inspiring, and I wanted you to meet Lorenzo because I know he’ll inspire you to think bigger about making a difference in your community or the world at large. Lorenzo had no funding, influence, or experience. He just had a simple idea and a very big heart. And that’s all you need to make the world a better place. When Lorenzo was born, the odds were already stacked against him: his mother gave birth to him while she was in jail. His father died in prison. He was raised by his aunt and uncle. As a child, he struggled with anger, anxiety, and depression and was labeled a problem. You’ll hear about the defining moment when Lorenzo made the decision to turn his life around. He graduated from college and started working in health and human services. That was where, at the age of 24, he had an idea about creating a mental health movement that is now changing millions of lives. “The Confess Project” was born. Lorenzo’s nonprofit trains barbers and beauticians to be mental health advocates for the men, women, and children who are sitting in their chairs. Now 3,000 mental health advocates across the country are changing the lives of over 3 million people a year. It’s an absolutely incredible story. Today, you will learn:The incredible solution Lorenzo thought of to make therapy accessible and easy for underserved and represented communities.How to give yourself permission to pursue that big idea.The revolutionary Harvard study that explains why you feel so comfortable telling your hairdresser about everything.Why you have all the power and tools you need to make a difference.How working from home has increased loneliness (and why you feel like you have nobody to talk to).The 4 things you can say to someone who is having a bad day (steal this from Lorenzo’s playbook).Why now is the right time to take action on that project you are thinking about. I can’t wait for you to meet, learn from, and be inspired by Lorenzo. His story is proof that it’s never too late to change your own life and that when you see a problem you want to solve, lean into it. You’ll not only help other people; you’ll surprise yourself with how much of a difference you can make. Xo, Mel In this episode:2:30: 60% of us don’t fully trust this, so we avoid it altogether.5:40: How do you start a nonprofit when you have no idea how?11:00: Black-owned hair shops are an integral part of black communities.14:30: Lorenzo’s is on a mission to close the vulnerability gap.17:20: Anxiety may not always look the way you think it does.19:45: Kids get labeled as bad behavior instead of treating mental health.26:15: A child who does not feel warmth from the village will burn it down.29:50: Unmet mental health needs are sometimes expressed as anger.35:50: The moment Lorenzo proved that he keeps his word.39:20: Stories of people not being supported mentally and emotionally.42:45: When your therapist doesn’t look like you, it’s a barrier to connection.44:20: I still remember when Ed Mylett said this to me.46:20: So how do you come up with an idea that’s never been done before?48:20: How do you get men to admit they need professional help?52:00: What does it mean to be vulnerable and why is that important?53:40: When your nonprofit starts reaching 1 million people!54:00: The 4-Part therapeutic formula of The Confess Project we can all use.56:40: Let’s role model what it looks like to sit in the barber chair.60:20: The surprising Harvard research that drove this nonprofit's mission.64:00: Examples of the impact The Confess Project has had on communities.68:30: When you believe in your dream and you make it happen.70:15: Two powerful stories from two barbers who saved two lives.

In this episode, researcher, respected expert on intermittent fasting, and bestselling author of Fast Like A Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz, is here to explain fasting—and, in particular, how it impacts women’s hormone health. Men and women’s hormones are different, and because of that, women MUST fast differently than men. Dr. Mindy is the first person who explained this to me, and this is why I wanted to have her on. I had no idea that fasting would screw up my estrogen and progesterone. Why? Because I first learned about fasting from a male. When I tried intermittent fasting, I wasn’t seeing the health benefits that everyone talks about. Now I know why. You’ve seen fasting advice trending on TikTok and in health articles; even your friends are talking about it (just like mine), and after this episode you will know exactly what fasting is, why you might want to do it, and what every woman needs to know to get started.

We are going to focus on the step-by-step guide for women, what to do, and why this matters, but we do cover fasting protocols and how-to advice that both genders need to know. I learned so much from Dr. Mindy, and as with all episodes, this is a free resource where you get to learn straight from somebody who has literally written the book on this topic. I would definitely send this to absolutely anyone that needs to hear it. Xo, Mel IMPORTANT: This podcast discusses fasting, and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder.
