41. The alchemy of loss and gratitude 19.11.2025 1:01:39
Loss. Fortune. Boundaries. Laughter. Peace. Today’s episode is a whole sermon whispered from my soul to yours. I talk about the strange way life can hand you heartbreak and blessing in the same breath. How AI can be a beneficial partner in life providing insights into marriage, business, family, etc. It's an invitation to choose peace. And an acknowledgment to choose the version of you who no long...
40. OWN YOUR MAGNIFICENCE 17.11.2025 23:08
See me in a crown in this 40th episode (come over to Spotify to watch the video). I’m talking about childhood hurt and parents operating from their pain (or trauma). I share about my pursuit of fighting demons to love [especially my kids] without hurting them. I’m encouraging men and women to wear a crown: to own their magnificence and finally... I share a piece of a poem about not doing the dishe...
39. DOUBLE STUFFED OREO: lyrics, heartbreak, magic & manners 17.11.2025 52:20
Join me for a bit of poetry, a sneak peek into a future episode on song lyrics w/ double meanings, the ache and beauty of the holidays and the manners of men. Because maybe it’s time we bring chivalry back... and magic too!
38. LET'S get POLITICAL... explicit 15.11.2025 18:39
I never planned to go here... politics was never supposed to be my lane...but silence became too heavy and truth refused to stay quiet. In this raw, explicit, unfiltered spoken-word episode, I stop stalling and start saying what too many are afraid to say. From fear to fury, from motherhood to rebellion, I speak truth to power and call out the predators, politicians, and propaganda that thrive on...
37. Beach wedding & Marital insights 15.11.2025 31:30
Filmed from the beach wall with the ocean stretching behind me, this impromptu video captures a simple moment that stirred something real. I watched a bride and groom taking photos and felt unexpected insights about marriage rise to the surface. What I share is honest and unscripted… a reflection on love, marriage, partnership, and the quiet work it takes to stay connected. Sometimes the heart lea...
36. Poetry galore... the deep and the gore! 14.11.2025 1:01:54
Join me on this video escapade where I try to find some shade while the sun blasts my face. Laugh with me, cry with me, roll your eyes with me, and see how I've saved lived by choosing to write poetry!
35. PSYCHO STALKER KIDNAPPING SONGS 12.11.2025 27:10
Have you ever loved a song only to discover the lyrics you've been SCREAMSINGING are super sketchy and sus and maybe just maybe should be removed from your favorite playlists!? Well, let me re-introduce you to some you've probably heard and loved before and may or may not have the same affinity once I'm done with this paranoid soliloquy. SPOTIFY USERS: enjoy the video- OTHER platform users: come o...
34. poetry in eMOTION 11.11.2025 44:03
Another poetry recital and some unexpected interruptions that will be a lot more fun if you're on the Spotify platform to SEE it and witness my EXASPERATION as this is a VIDEO episode. So much emotion was stirred as I recall and recount relationships and works of art that move the heart, the spirit, the soul, the tears... ever flowing, streaming, believing, achieving FREEDOM AT LAST!!!
33. blue birds, coherence healing, bday wishes 11.11.2025 33:25
I've got blue birds over my head in this video for all you Spotify users (others will get audio only)... this episode comes w/ it a LOT of tedious behind-the-scenes work but I hope and am crossing my fingers that this upload works and that you enjoy whatever it is I even talk about because that's how much I don't remember AND I'd do it all over again - just. for. you. w/ XOXO PS. some of the edits...
32. insecurities...to...INSPIRATION 08.11.2025 1:14:30
A peak into my insecurities, inspiration, and geniusyncrasies(TM)... Join me as I recite poetry from long ago and moments of vulnerability as I pour my heart out to you... for you. Perhaps it will unlock some new thoughts/new approaches to your own insecurity and perhaps it will draw out divine inspiration for your most authentic venture. Thank you for holding space for my confessions and insights...
31. Relationships & Reiki 08.11.2025 32:47
Take a ride with me as I discuss dating (not as an expert, in fact I point you to the REAL DEAL #1 in the WORLD expert), friendships, boundaries, experiential knowledge, and my FIRST ENCOUNTER with Reiki Attunement!!!!!
30. Tea Time w/ Yours Truly 26.10.2025 39:34
An impromptu video about expectations, parenting, journaling, and finding peace amid life's chaos. FOR THE RECORD: I do have a sibling, but I was raised as an only child- Love you Mercedes! ALSO: no parenting judgment from me- we're all doing the very best we can w/ the information and tools we have. I am not on any list to judge you, I promise!
29. With Love, Melinda 25.10.2025 50:52
My 1st VIDEO podcast and you will see why my face was meant to be seen... for laughs and giggles and allllll of the expressions maybe only I can muster! Laugh. Enjoy. Cry from laughing. Bust out laughing. Share the laughter. There's so much here that I can't even say to keep this description brief, but let's just say... Chad is getting on my very last nerve! And lastly, much regerts (IYKYK) for th...
28. Everything works in my FAVOR! 24.10.2025 52:20
This episode begins with the mantra that’s been rewriting my reality: “Everything works in my favor.” I share the story behind it showing the kind of divine plot twist that only makes sense when you zoom out far enough to see grace in motion. Then the universe did what it does best... it aligned. My best friend called right in the middle of recording, and instead of editing her out, I invited her...
27. Random Thoughts and... 22.10.2025 1:04:52
Sometimes the best episodes are the ones with no plan. In this one, I share a scary encounter that shook me for a moment and then I just let myself wander... ramble? ...squirrel! Through random thoughts, quiet victories, and loud truths, I talk about what it means to keep showing up, imperfect and alive. Because perfection is the enemy of purpose, and your story deserves to be heard, mess and all.
26. Dear Dad 13.10.2025 1:06:59
A letter from a daughter to her father -not to grieve, but to remind him that love is still calling him to live. This one is raw. It’s personal & confession: contains a couple cuss words. It’s me... the daughter, the poet, the believer in second chances- speaking straight to my dad, the poet, the man who raised her. He’s fighting the symptoms that accompany some in their late 80s, and maybe hi...
25. Dear FUTURE me 09.10.2025 58:21
Hydrated (barely), healing (deeply), and talking to the woman I’m becoming. This episode begins with a confession: I might be in a hydration crisis and a limbo season... both at once. 💧 Somewhere between “I should drink more water” and “What in the metamorphosis is happening,” I found—and completed—my assignment: to talk to her... my future self. I thank her for holding the vision steady. For cho...
24. Parenting, Forgiveness, Boundaries, Recommendations… 03.10.2025 1:10:36
Between parenting, forgiveness, and boundaries lies the sacred edge where we learn how to love without losing ourselves. In this episode, I open up about my own journey and share recommendations for voices on Instagram you’ll want to know and follow. These are the real, unpolished parts of life we don’t always talk about- my version, my story. For you. Your ears. Your journey. With love, Unapologe...
23. Monthly Moments w/ Morgan & Melinda- SEPTEMBER EDITION 22.09.2025 55:51
Once again, Morgan & I get together w/ our kids in the background- though they often came into the foreground too- so we roll w/ the punches as we transitioned from topic to topic. We talk pickleball, books we're reading, children & adults on the spectrum & a few things in between. We laughed & we made it work & have also decided that our next rendezvous will be sans kids.
22. Sensitivity Speaks 21.09.2025 54:52
I open the door to sensitivity- its softness, its sharp edges, and its sacred power. I read words that reframe sensitivity not as weakness but as brilliance: a nervous system tuned to life in full color. I share my own reflections, poems, and truths- about compassion, rage, race, and what it means to hold space for pain while still rising. This is for every soul who has ever been told they’re too...
21. When God Gives and Takes Away 21.09.2025 45:01
In this episode, I vulnerably share my miscarriage journey- a loss I never wanted to experience. I did not want to be part of that "club" but perhaps it has shaped me to be even more compassionate and caring...... The good news is I got a "rainbow baby" who may very well be the spirit of the baby lost. To those who've experienced this impossible grief, I am with you. You. Are. Not. Alone.
20. Meditations 18.09.2025 1:40:52
Do you meditate? I highly recommend- 10/10... there's so MUCH it can do for you - HEAL. YOU. ground you. CHANGE YOU. motivate you. MOVE YOU INTO ANOTHER TIMELINE!!!! oh, and of course, I talk about the other stuff in between!
19. Unapologetically UNTITLED 17.09.2025 1:14:06
Unfiltered. Unfinished. Unapologetic. This episode is messy and honest — a ramble that reveals more than I planned to say. It’s the weight we carry, the things that stay, the quiet between. Because sometimes, what needs to be said just needs to be spoken: as-is, no polish. Unapologetically Untitled.
18. boy meets girl 09.09.2025 1:19:45
Boy meets girl is our origin story- how we met... how we came to be husband and wife... and some laughs and other reveals along the way.
17. Dear Self, 05.09.2025 25:46
When is the last time you wrote a letter to yourself? Years ago? Weeks? Never? I invite you to my love letter to myself... & I invite you to write or speak one of your very own! You deserve it! Shout out to Sebastian for the idea! xoxo
