The Melanie Show

After an 11-month unplanned sabbatical (thanks, layoff), I’m finally back — and I brought backup. Grace joins me for a candid, slightly chaotic convo about navigating unemployment, job hunting fails, identity crises, and all the emotions in between. It’s honest, a little messy, occasionally funny, and a reminder that sometimes you just need a friend to laugh-cry with you through it.

Did you know over 500 million people listen to podcasts weekly? The fact that some of you choose this show in your lineup... literally makes my freaking day 🍻 Thanks for your feedback, banter and shared humor! Grace and I answer some more questions this week, which honestly we shouldn't be ✌🏼

If you haven't consumed this week's episode, I sit down with Kittrick Jeffries from Dakota Cannabis Consulting from my hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota. 😶‍🌫️🍻 As many of my episodes, it's my curiosity that drives all of my conversations. I learned so much and know it wasn't even scratching the surface on this one! So sit back and as always... listen & consume responsibly! For more and to...

In the studio with the woman that makes me laugh and honestly I don't know if she's ever told me no... your fave, Grace. Thanks to this HotSeat game we had a range of emotions all on display for you.

Time to chug this episode people! 🍺We dive into the artistry of tattooing not, will I ever get my tramp stamp covered up?... it's a no but you already knew that. I will start collecting my stamps and get on her books when I can! Although her bookings might be currently closed, that doesn't mean you can't be tattooed by this baddie -- follow  @sarahdurnotattoos  for her up to date availability and...

TELL ME LIES, TELL ME SWEET LITTLE LIES... today's episode (which is up right now) is about the lies we were told as children... the little ones. Which ones are going to live for another generation and which will die with us? Meet me in the studio with Kim & Grace 🍻

I'm in the studio to chat with Taylor and Jill, the founders of Precision Wellness Group ; a boutique wellness clinic that specializes in advanced personalized medicine-- in golf terms it's getting a better quality of life out on the course and in the clubhouse. For non golf terms it means... well tune in and check them out! 💉🧡 @ precisionwellnessgroup

I'm very grateful for the friendship that I have with Grace. I appreciate our connection and fun we have together in and out of the studio. Today's episode is no different, where we share with you our personal "health" journey. Thank you for being open to sharing Grace. Now crack a breakfast beer with me!! 🍻

Another episode where Grace and I give our asshole opinions on "am I the asshole" entries we found on Reddit.

If you know anything about The Great Athletic Accident of 2014, you know that if you see me running, you should probably be running too. The same can't be said for this week's guest. I'm in the studio with Eric Donahue, head coach and founder of Patriot Endurance, to hear more about how he started his journey & decided to help others on theirs! Head over to  @patriot_endurance  🏃🏼🏊🚴🏻 that...

What better way to start your day than with Me & Grace... Grace & me... Grace & I... either way may this rabbit hole, sidetracked, random ass episode make you smile. 🍻✌🏼

We all know there are a handful of things that I really love. Two of those things are football and mental health! Andy Davis, the founder and a coach of RiseUp Moore is in the studio with me as we talk about football and how this football league is doing its part to tackle improving the physical and mental wellness of the youth in Moore County, North Carolina. ✌🏼 For more information on events, c...

As you know over the past year I have tried and shared over 50 beers! Today's guests have played a HUGE part in the craft journey, it was only fitting to get them in the studio to share! 🍻 Crack a cold one and listen to Brandi, Gerry & Izzy from  @southernpinesgrowler

 I hope when you laugh today, we are apart of it! Grace is back, again.

Spoiler alert: we're all going to die. The real question is if you'll have a keg at your funeral. I am joined by funeral director Mike St. Onge, who's here to share about his many unique experiences in the business, plus all the ways you would never think to hold a funeral. There's no wrong way! 🍻

Every Monday there's a little more than 25 of you that listen before I can even post. Good for you morning warriors I still need to put pants on! 💥 For those that haven't listened yet, Kimmy and I chat about things no one or even a book gave us a heads up about when it comes to parenting. No parenting advice here just a few WTF moments ✌🏼

Justin Anderson, Vice Chairman and Co-Founder of  @softosom  joins me and shares his journey from military career to civilian medical school! In the process, helping others do the same! Tune in and hear how I pretend to know what biochemistry even is and how we paid the same amount of tuition but I'm not a doctor. 😆✌🏼🩺🥼 Head to  @softosom  and website for more information or how you can get in...

I'll say it once I'll say it 1000 times... What I appreciate about Keith most (besides his creative talents) is he matches my energy. I can be as petty as I want and he's right there with me on the edge! Shoutout to my former office corner partner for letting me be dramatic. Tune in to be a fly on the wall of a normal day at the office-- or was.

This episode is all about kicking the stigma and learning the world of psychology! Listen, I'll say it all day, "who am I to judge," and then judge. Thank you Dr. Felicia for coming and sharing the incredible and real avenues of psychology! You guys know I couldn't let her leave without a BYE FELICIA 👋🏼

Just a couple of second hand hounds chatting up about the Olympic sport... Facebook Marketplace. You would think we would learn about cheating death but here we are meeting up with strangers for some cash 🍻

Ever feel like your house is on 🔥 hopefully not literally... Alex went through hell and back, flames and all and decided she wanted to make a safe place for all walks of women so we never have to be on fire... alone. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Alex and the community outreach she is building! Listen in to how you can be apart of this village in the making! Head over to  @the.co___  for the...

So here's what happened... I had an idea and Grace supports me and encourages me... joins me... and sometimes (usually) it's a disaster. But god love her loyalty🍻 Hope you laugh with us through this mess!

As we know, I am not a traveler. The way this week’s guest gets around, though, might be enough to change my mind. Stow your tray tables for Molly, this week’s guest, as she shares her globetrotting adventures as a private jet flight attendant! 🛩️

 I'm joined virtually by the Social Media Specialist of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. ✌🏼 Joe Galbo, the mastermind behind the fire-breathing dragons on the playground slide that gently reminds you to check the equipment before letting your child burn themselves on a summer day. Joe shares the evolution of his equally fun and educating way of sharing safety. Head over to  @uscpsc  t...

Would you rather...listen to this week's episode or do literally anything else? Hopefully, it's a no-brainer. I am joined by two of my favorite former coworkers (friends) for a round of "Would You Rather"! Big shoutout to Katlyn for bringing the questions -- and shoutout to TikTok for writing them.
