Melissa Monte | Conscious Coach

Ever felt like you’re waking up in a world that still wants you asleep?

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

Mind Love™ is a top 0.5% podcast with over 500 episodes, and Podcast of the Year winner.

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

This show is for the spiritually curious and mentally sharp.

The ones who crave depth but reject dogma.

Who believe in energy and brain chemistry.

Who want to connect with Source but question religion.

Who want to feel more free in a world that tells them to stay small.

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

We will learn:

 • What judgments prevent us from seeing.

 • How to move from judgment to acceptance in the moment.

 • A daily practice to rewire our brains to judge less overall.

Are you judgmental? Be honest. Because frankly, I’m pretty sure we all are. Some more than others.

The problem is, our judgments don’t just create suffering for other people. Our judgments create the most suffering within ourselves, whether we’re judging ourselves or our own past harshly, or we’re holding people and the world around us to standards they will never meet.

It’s our resistance to "what is" that creates our suffering. Always. There will still be pain, but suffering is a choice.

And I know, easier said than done. So how do we get there, exactly?

That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Greg Hammer, MD. He is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, a pediatric intensive care physician, a pediatric anesthesiologist, a mindfulness expert, and the author of GAIN without Pain. He is also a health enthusiast and meditator, utilizing a non-duality and mindfulness-based approach to care.

Achieving Non-Judgement in 3-Minutes a Day with Dr. Greg Hammer • 256

We will learn:

 • Why we fail to see things as they are.

 • Why others don’t always get what’s obvious to us.

 • The 8 most common biases and fallacies that keep our minds closed.

When we have a strong opinion, we often look down on the people who don’t reach the same conclusion, whether they have the same facts as we do or not.

The biggest problem I see with us being stuck in our beliefs and becoming more and more intolerant of those who are different is, obviously, division, but more specifically, we’re losing sight of how beautiful a spectrum is.

And for me, learning what traps I might fall into when trying to find the truth, gives me compassion for others. And if we start to see our own blind spots, we might stop being so eager to point the finger.

So today, we’re learning how to think better so we can reason better and ultimately live better.

Our guest is Woo-Kyoung Ahn. She is the John Hay Whitney Professor of Psychology at Yale University. Her research on thinking biases has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, and she is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science.

The Science of Thinking and Reasoning Better with Woo-Kyoung Ahn • 257

We will learn:

 • Some questions we can ask ourselves to help get a sense of our brain age.

 • The surprising and often overlooked factors that age the brain.

 • 11 key factors to preserving and enhancing brain health.

How old is your brain? What if I told you that answer doesn’t necessarily correlate with your actual age?

Turns out, our brains have their own aging process. Kind of like our skin. We’ve all seen people who look 40 when they’re 70 or they look 70 when they’re 40.

So basically, age really is just a number when it comes to the whole. But the aging of our individual parts can make a huge impact on what’s possible for us.

But here’s the good news. There are actually a ton of things you can do to greatly decrease your risk of mental aging: dementia, Alzheimer's, mental illness, all of it.

That’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Dr. Marc Milstein. He specializes in taking the leading scientific research on health and happiness and using it to empower people to live better. He provides science-based solutions to keep the brain healthy, lower the risk of dementia, boost productivity and maximize longevity. His book "The Age-Proof Brain" was just published on October 25th.

Actionable Ways to Keep Your Brain Young and Healthy with Marc Milstein • 258

We will learn:

 • How brain fog sets a stage for learned helplessness.

 • How to overcome survival mode with emotional awareness.

 • Actionable steps to dealing with brain fog in the moment and long term.

Do you ever experience brain fog?

It’s not technically a medical condition, but it is a set of symptoms that affect your ability to think. And if the cause is lack of sleep or excessive drinking, the cure is simple… not always easy, but simple enough.

But when it comes back to stress, the way out is a little more complicated, because usually, stress isn’t from just one thing. 

We know how much stress affects our health. Or at least you should. It affects every aspect of health, including your susceptibility to disease. But often, we push through anyways because all this shit needs to get done.

So when it starts to shut down your mind too, is that when you’ll finally listen? And if the daily to-dos need to get done regardless, what can we actually do to clear our heads and think better again?

That’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Dr. Jill Weber. She is a clinical psychologist who works with people managing anxiety. She is the author of “Be Calm: Proven Techniques to Stop Anxiety Now” and writes a blog for Psychology Today.

Overcoming Stress-Induced Brain Fog with Dr. Jill Weber • 259

We will learn:

 • Why enlightenment isn’t as rare as we think it is.

 • The foundational elements for a successful pursuit of enlightenment.

 • The top two most effective paths to awakening.

Some stories of awakening and enlightenment sound like a combination of magic and a psychotic break that miraculously leaves someone better than before.

But usually, awakening happens a little at a time.

The question is, with all the courses, methods, and books about enlightenment, what can actually help get you there?

That’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Jonathan Robinson. He is a psychotherapist, a best-selling author of ten books, and a professional speaker from Northern California. He has spent more than thirty years studying the most practical and powerful methods for personal and professional development.

His book “The Enlightenment Project” is all about proven and effective spiritual methods that bring inner peace to most people.

Proven and Effective Ways to Reach Spiritual Enlightenment with Jonathan Robinson • 260

We will learn:

 • How our brains, egos, awareness, and autopilot patterns serve or thwart our conversations.

 • How to investigate the stories we tell ourselves and deconstruct our own opinions.

 • The four universal types of conversations and how to maximize the effectiveness of each.

How often do you feel frustrated after a conversation?

Maybe you and your partner keep ending up on different pages, or work projects aren’t as efficient as they can be, or you can’t seem to get through to your kids.

The thing is, we each have so many conversations per day that we don’t think about them much. When you’ve been doing something your whole life, it’s easier to just keep doing what you’ve always done. So you listen half-heartedly, react emotionally, and respond habitually like you’re on autopilot.

But what if you stopped and asked, “How can I do this better?” 

So today, we’re learning to have more conscious conversations. 

Our guest is Chuck Wisner. He is a highly sought-after thinker, coach, and teacher in organizational strategy, human dynamics, and leadership communication excellence. He has spent 25 years as a consultant to leaders in high-profile companies like Google, Apple, Tesla, General Motors, and Shell. His methods are anchored in years of leading-edge research, theoretical development, and the practical application of the foundations of conversations. He is also the author of “The Art of Conscious Conversations: Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact.”

Talk, Listen, and Interact Better through Conscious Conversations with Chuck Wisner • 261

We will learn:

 • How we begin to develop Equanimity, or “nonjudgmental awareness”.

 • The Four-Step Practice in Karuna Training to skillfully lean into and stay with difficult emotional energy.

 • How to transmute confusion into wisdom.

I keep finding that the more we go back to our roots, the easier everything becomes - health, peace, joy, connection.

We think we live in a modern world with modern problems, so clearly, we need a modern solution, but what if that’s not the case?

Yes, things today may look very different on the outside, but inside, we’re still the same souls seeking what they came here for from the beginning of time.

So today, we’re tapping into the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism to apply them to the modern challenges of everyday life.

Our guest is Melissa Moore, PhD. She has dedicated her life to teaching Buddhism and Contemplative Psychology. She has a master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy and a PhD in Psychological Anthropology. She has three decades of expertise and leadership in Karuna training, and is also the author of “The Diamonds Within Us: Uncovering Brilliant Sanity Through Contemplative Psychology”.

Transmute Confusion into Wisdom and Other Ancient Buddhist Teachings for Modern Troubles with Melissa Moore • 262

We will learn:

 • How and why some psychiatric medications cause harm and keep people ill.

 • Why and how metabolism and mitochondria can explain all the symptoms of mental illness.

 • How to self-assess your metabolic and mental health.

What if I told you that new research is showing that everything we’ve previously known about mental health is wrong?

New research shows that mental health is directly impacted by our metabolism.

So this episode is about the ways food and lifestyle impacts our minds, how exactly mental illness is related to your metabolic function, and what you can do to improve it.

Our guest is Dr. Christopher M. Palmer. He is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Most recently, he has developed the first comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness, integrating existing theories and research into one unifying theory—the Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness.

This is pioneering research so get excited because it will change the way you view and approach mental health.

A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health Through Metabolism—and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More with Chris Palmer • 263

We will learn:

 • What animals want their owners to know most.

 • How and why animals need emotional clearing.

 • How people can build a better bridge of communication with their pet.

Do you ever wish you knew what your pet was thinking?

I’m learning that whether your pets are still with you or they’re with you outside of the physical, you are always connected.

And there are ways to deepen the bridge of communication with them when they’re here and when they’re gone.

So today, we’re going to learn how to deepen that connection and then test our own abilities.

Our guest is Ellen Lance of Ask My Pet. She is an internationally renowned, 5-star rated animal communicator and pet psychic with over 3.4 million YouTube viewers. Her animal communication work spans hamsters to horses and has been featured in the New York Daily News, MSN.com, and Huffington Post.

What’s really cool is that Ellen's talents do not require an animal to be in her physical presence, so she has clients worldwide.

Building a Bridge of Communication with Your Pet with Animal Communicator Ellen Lance • 264

We will learn:

 • Why most people are dividing the wrong pie in negotiations and how to find the right one.

 • The two perspectives most people take in negotiation and how this new method appeases both.

 • How to apply this method to simple and more complex needs for negotiation.

Do you feel like a confident negotiator?

Negotiations are stressful. It usually feels like a verbal game of poker, with both people bluffing and hoping they come out on top.

Too often, we’re left guessing. What the other person is thinking. If they’re telling the truth. If we’re giving too much or too little.

Wouldn’t it be better if there were a principled way to negotiate?

Well, there is and that’s what we’re learning today.

Our guest is Barry Nalebuff. He is the Milton Steinbach Professor at the Yale School of Management, where he has taught strategy, game theory, and negotiation for 32 years. He is also the author of seven books, including “Thinking Strategically” and “The Art of Strategy”. “Co-opetition” for cooperating while competing. “Why Not?” which provides a framework for problem-solving. And “Split the Pie”, which offers a new perspective on negotiation.

He is also a serial entrepreneur. You might recognize the brand Honest Tea, which he co-founded and sold to Coca-Cola.

A Radical New Way to Negotiate with Barry Nalebuff • 265

We will learn:

 • Magical phrases that effectively break down walls and create new possibilities

 • What to say and how to say it when someone is rude or gets in your face

 • How to create connection with others instead of indulging in power plays

Communication is hard. Tough conversations aren’t always complicated, sometimes the situation is as silly as speaking up when you’re gritting your teeth under the pressure of a massage that’s too intense.

Communication is technically one of the first skills we learn, but most of us never actually learn much beyond the basics.

Our guest today is communications expert AmyK Hutchens. She’s going to teach us how to confidently navigate your toughest conversations without saying something you regret, giving your power away, or damaging your relationships.
