Like you’ve always thought deeper, asked bigger questions… and saw through the illusions faster than most?

Hosted by Melissa Monte...speaker, story mentor, and self-proclaimed questioner of everything.

This show is for the spiritually curious and mentally sharp.

Inside each episode, we explore:

 • Conversations that blend the sacred, the scientific, and the suppressed
 • Tools to help you rewire your mind, reclaim your voice, and rewrite your inner narrative
 • The questions most people are afraid to ask...about healing, identity, and what it means to wake up

New episodes every week.

Because thinking for yourself is a rebellion. And awakening is a discipline.

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Why being lied to reveals exactly what someone fears most
 • The counterintuitive question that makes people open up without feeling interrogated
 • How reading comfort shifts unlocks influence without manipulation

Ever notice how some people just have it? They walk into a room and within minutes, people are opening up to them. Sharing things they normally keep locked away. Laughing harder. Leaning in closer. And you're standing there thinking, what am I missing?

Here's the secret nobody wants to admit. Those people aren't more charismatic. They're not better looking or funnier or more interesting. They've just figured out something most of us completely overlook. They've learned to make other people feel like the most fascinating person in the room.

I spent years thinking I needed to be more interesting to be a better conversationalist. I'd prep stories, practice witty comebacks, show up armed with impressive facts. And I'd leave every conversation feeling exhausted and weirdly disconnected. Because I was performing instead of connecting. I was broadcasting instead of receiving. I was so focused on what I was going to say next that I missed everything actually happening in front of me.

Then I had kids. And suddenly I was faced with these tiny humans who would lie about the weirdest things, shut down at the slightest hint of judgment, and needed me to understand what they couldn't yet articulate. And I realized something that changed everything. The skills that make you an incredible parent are the exact same skills that make you magnetic in every other area of your life.

When you learn to listen in a way that makes people feel truly seen, you become the person everyone wants to talk to. The friend people call when life falls apart. The leader people trust with the truth. The partner who actually understands what's being said underneath the words.

Today our guest is Michael Reddington, a former investigative interviewer who spent his career getting people to share sensitive information under vulnerable circumstances. He's the author of The Disciplined Listening Method and founder of Inquasive, where he teaches the observation and questioning skills that transform ordinary conversations into genuine connection.

The Secret to Being Magnetic in Any Conversation with Michael Reddington • 426

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • How to tell the difference between your thoughts and your higher self speaking
 • Why time isn't linear and what that means for healing this lifetime
 • What actually happens when you access the part of you that remembers everything

What if you've been having the same conversation across multiple lifetimes, and you just don't remember?

Your higher self does. It remembers every version of you that ever existed. Every life you've lived. Every person you've loved or hurt or learned from. It chose the body you're in right now. It picked your parents, your challenges, the exact circumstances that would force you to grow. And it's been trying to talk to you this entire time.

Most people think the subconscious is just the part of your brain that stores habits and childhood memories. But Dolores Cannon discovered something else entirely. A level of consciousness that exists outside of time. That can access any moment that ever was or ever will be. She called it the subconscious because she didn't have another word for it. But it's nothing like what psychology describes. It's the part of you that's eternal.

Today our guest is Julia Cannon, daughter of Dolores Cannon and the woman who worked alongside her mother to develop and teach Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique worldwide. Julia spent decades as an ICU and home health nurse before being pulled into the world her mother created, bringing both medical expertise and spiritual depth to this work.

Time Loops, Past Lives, and Healing the Unexplainable with Dolores Cannon's Daughter, Julia Cannon • 425

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Why some people receive clear spiritual downloads while others hear nothing
 • The protection filter that keeps negativity out while divine guidance flows in 
 • How your religious upbringing might be the exact foundation you needed

Have you ever had a thought pop into your head that you knew didn't come from you?

Not the anxious spiral. Not the mental to-do list. I'm talking about the quiet knowing that tells you to take a different route home. The sudden clarity about a relationship that's been draining you for months. The download that arrives fully formed, like someone just handed you the answer you've been searching for.

Most people write it off. They call it intuition or gut instinct and leave it at that. But what if it's not coming from your gut at all? What if there's an entire team on the other side actively guiding you, protecting you, speaking to you every single day? And what if the only reason you can't hear them clearly is because you've been taught that this kind of communication ended 2,000 years ago?

What if I told you that someone's mother sat down one day and received a channeled message that ended with words so clear, so specific, it demanded an answer?

Today our guest is Michael McAdams. Michael has felt a sense of destiny and purpose his entire life. A lifelong sincere seeker of truth brought up in the Pentecostal church, Michael has endeavored to reach out with an open mind to all sources available, enabling his mind to receive information that helps the greatest number of people.

Are Spirit Guides Actually Answering Your Prayers? with Michael McAdams • 424

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Whether mystical states are just neurons firing or something science can't explain yet
 • Why human morality keeps evolving and what that means for the stories we call truth
 • How to use technology to train your focus without losing the magic of transcendence

Have you ever noticed how the though ts that torture you most aren't even yours?

They're hand-me-downs. Scripts you inherited from parents who inherited them from their parents. Cultural programming that told you productivity equals worth. That rest is laziness. That your value comes from how much you can do for everyone else. You've been running on these thoughts for so long you forgot they're just thoughts. Not truth. Just noise.

Most people think meditation is about becoming calm. It's not. It's about seeing the machinery. The way your brain spins the same stories on repeat. The way it reaches for distraction the second discomfort shows up. The way it convinces you that scrolling Instagram or buying another thing or staying busy will make you feel better when really you're just running from yourself.

I spent years doing that. Chasing experiences. MDMA, plant medicine, skydiving. Anything to feel something other than the hollow ache of not knowing who I was underneath all the performance. Those experiences cracked me open. But they didn't teach me how to stay open. That's what meditation did. It taught me that the version of me chasing dopamine hits wasn't broken. She was just afraid to sit still long enough to meet herself.

Today our guest is Ariel Garten, neuroscientist, psychotherapist, and founder of Muse, the brain-sensing meditation headband. She's lived with undiagnosed ADD her whole life and used meditation and neuroscience to literally rewire her brain.

Meditation Mystical States and What Neuroscience Still Can't Explain Yet with Ariel Garten • 423

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's script
 • The third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinity
 • How real masculine power actually improves intimate relationships

What if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?

I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.

You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.

Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.

The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.

Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.

Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.

The Third Way: Beyond Toxic and Beta Masculinity with Isaac Wathen • 422

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Why your brain rewards comparison and what to do about it
 • How ancient mammal wiring drives modern addiction patterns and self-sabotage
 • The real reason happiness chemicals fade and how to retrain your response

Ever notice how you can't stop comparing yourself to other people, even when you know it makes you miserable?

There's a reason for that. And it has nothing to do with social media, your childhood trauma, or some defect in your personality.

It's because your brain works exactly like a goat’s. 

I know that sounds strange. But stay with me. Because understanding this one piece of mammal brain science explains why you scroll Instagram feeling inadequate, why you can't stop reaching for that thing you swore you'd quit, why happiness never seems to stick around as long as you want it to.

We spend so much energy trying to fix ourselves. Trying to stop comparing. Trying to feel content. Trying to be happy all the damn time. But what if the problem isn't you? What if your brain is just doing exactly what it evolved to do?

Today our guest is Loretta Breuning, founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author who spent decades studying how mammal brain chemistry shapes human behavior. After observing goat social dynamics at a farm, she uncovered patterns that completely changed how she understood human conflict, competition, and happiness.

The Animal Brain Science of Why Nothing Feels Good Enough with Loretta Breuning • 421

What you'll discover in this episode:

 • The real reason most people never question their predetermined path
 • Why exhaustion might be your signal to pivot everything
 • How to build a business when you have zero evidence yet

What if the life you've carefully planned isn't the one you're meant to live?

There's this moment that happens when you're living someone else's version of your life. You might not even realize it at first. You're checking all the boxes, following the plan, doing what you're supposed to do. But something feels off. Something feels hollow. Maybe you've felt it too. That gnawing sense that the dreams you've been chasing might not actually be yours.

That's exactly what happened to our guest today. Picture this: you're 22, fresh out of college with a prestigious degree, job offers waiting, and the golden path to success stretched out in front of you. Then you fall in love while studying abroad and suddenly everything you thought you wanted feels like someone else's story.

Today our guest is Samantha Smith, an entrepreneur and personal brand strategist who helps women build authentic businesses around their unique gifts. She's built a successful coaching practice and podcast after walking away from everything that looked right on paper to follow what felt right in her heart.

Questioning Everything You Thought You Wanted with Samantha Smith • 420

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

 • Why your triggers are actually doorways to freedom
 • How to tell if you're healing or just recycling trauma
 • The difference between spiritual growth and ego transformation

When does healing become just another addiction?

I used to think healing meant fixing all the broken parts of myself. Like I could somehow surgically remove every wound, every trigger, every uncomfortable emotion and emerge as this perfectly polished version of who I was supposed to be. But that's not healing. That's spiritual bypassing dressed up in self-help language.

What I didn't realize is that healing can become its own trap. You can get so addicted to the process, so comfortable in the identity of "someone who's working on themselves," that you never actually arrive anywhere. You just keep circling the same wounds, having the same breakthroughs, collecting the same insights like spiritual trophies.

Real healing looks more like standing at an intersection, recognizing you're about to road rage at someone who cut you off, and suddenly seeing that your anger has nothing to do with them. It's about that part of you that's still 12 years old, desperate to be seen and validated. The part you've been trying to silence for decades.

Today our guest is Nicholas Cassius Clay, an integrative coach and founder of Being One World who helps people cut through the healing fog to find real clarity. He combines everything from ancient wisdom to neuroscience, helping clients actually complete their healing cycles instead of endlessly circling them.

When Healing Becomes Your New Addiction with Nicholas Clay • 419

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• How to recognize when you're "sleep talking" through life 

• The four types of conversations that reveal communication patterns

• Why most promises fail and how commitment builds trust

How many relationships have you damaged because you had to be right?

Most of us learned how to communicate from our families, our schools, our cultures. We picked up these conversational habits without ever questioning them. We argue to be right instead of learning something new. We make promises we can't keep because we're too uncomfortable saying no. We tell ourselves stories that limit who we can become, and we don't even realize we're doing it.

I used to think good communication was about being articulate or winning the argument. I thought if I could just find the right words, I could make people see my point of view. But what I discovered through my own journey is that most of our conversations happen on complete autopilot. We're not really listening. We're just waiting for our turn to speak. We're defending positions we never consciously chose.

Then I started meeting people who communicated differently. People who could disagree with me without making me feel attacked. People who asked questions that made me think instead of questions designed to trap me. After conversations with them, I'd walk away feeling expanded rather than drained. There was something they understood about communication that I was missing.

Today our guest is Chuck Wisner, a leadership coach and author of "The Four Conversations" who has spent decades studying how conscious communication can transform relationships and unlock human potential. He combines practical tools with deep awareness work to help people break free from unconscious conversational patterns.

Your Need to Be Right Is Killing Your Relationships with Chuck Wisner • 418

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How to spot the signs of high functioning codependency - the difference between healthy helping and compulsive over-functioning

• Why your advice-giving might be hurting more than helping - and how to support people without fixing them

• Two simple questions to ask before saying yes to anything - so you can stop abandoning yourself in the name of being nice

What if being the "strong one" is actually making you weaker? What if all that advice-giving, crisis-managing, and problem-solving you do for everyone else is slowly draining the life out of you?

You don't think you're codependent. You're not sitting around waiting for some addict to come home. You're not needy or clingy or desperate. Hell, you're the opposite—you're the one everyone depends on. You make the money, handle the crises, give the advice, and keep everyone's world spinning. So when someone mentions codependency, you immediately think, "That's not me. Everyone's dependent on ME."

But here's what nobody talks about: there's a brand of codependency that hides behind competence. It looks like strength, sounds like leadership, and feels like love. I spent years thinking my ability to fix everyone's problems was my greatest asset. I was the friend with all the answers, the daughter who managed family drama, the partner who handled everything so smoothly that no one even knew there were problems to handle. From the outside, my life looked like I had it all together. On the inside, I was drowning in everyone else's emotional chaos while completely abandoning my own needs.

Today our guest is Terri Cole, a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert who coined the term "high functioning codependency" after seeing the same patterns show up repeatedly in her practice with successful, accomplished women. She's the author of "Too Much" and has spent decades helping people recognize and break free from these invisible chains.

Why You're Exhausted From Helping Everyone But Yourself with Terri Cole • 417

We will learn:

 • How to find your unique message from the things you’ve gone through

 • How to get people to recognize you as an expert

 • How to make your message media-worthy

 

Have you noticed that a lot of people find their purpose from their deepest trauma or hardest struggle? There’s even a quote that says make your mess your message.

 

Our struggles give us depth. They are often the path chosen by our soul to teach us a lesson, or to evolve us in some way.

 

But once you’ve gone through the struggle and came out the other side to tell about it, then what? You’ve already gone through the hard shit, now how do you make money from it while still feeling aligned with your values?

 

How do you you become an expert in your field and tell your story in a way that connects with people?

 

That’s what we’re talking about today.

 

Our guest is Cheryl Hunter. You may remember her way back in episode 015. Her story is incredible. From her deepest pain, she’s found her highest purpose. And she’s been featured in over 100 media interviews from PBD to CNN to Dr. Phil.

 

She’s going to teach us how to skyrocket our influence.
