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:

 • About the two types of comparison: inspiration and expiration.

 • The 5 most common insecure foundations and how to find a more secure foundation to build our worth upon.

 • 3 steps to detox comparison for good.

Do you struggle with comparison? 

I think we all do. Or at least most of us. It’s hard to avoid with the social media environment these days.

The problem with comparison creates a sense of lack. You see what someone else has, and you think, “I don’t have that.” Which creates feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, and resentment.

So what do we do about it? How do we train our minds to stay out of the comparison spiral so we can see our lives, and ourselves, for what they really are?

That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Nona Jones. She is an international speaker, preacher, author, and the head of global faith-based partnerships at Facebook. She’s also the author of “Killing Comparison”.

Rejecting the Lie That You Aren’t Good Enough by Killing Comparison with Nona Jones • 269

We will learn:

· Why your childhood experiences might be secretly driving your adult decisions (and how to change that)

· The surprising reason why you and someone else can experience the exact same event completely differently

· How understanding your core motivations can free you from repeating the same patterns over and over

 

Imagine you're trying to untangle a complex knot. You could just pull at random strings, hoping to make progress. Or you could study the pattern of the knot first, understanding exactly how it's twisted and turned, making the untangling process much more intentional and effective.

That's what these frameworks can do when we use them wisely. Instead of using them to build our identity, we can use them to understand our attachments, our default patterns, and the stories we've been telling ourselves. They become mirrors showing us where we might be stuck, where we tend to grasp too tightly, and where we might need to pay extra attention in our personal growth work.

This revelation hit me particularly hard when I started diving deep into the Enneagram system. Unlike other personality frameworks I'd encountered, this one seemed less interested in putting me in a box and more focused on showing me the box I'd already put myself in – and more importantly, how to think outside of it.

Today our guest is Stephanie Hayes, an Enneagram expert who brings a fresh perspective to this ancient system of understanding human behavior. She's written "Enneagram in Real Life" and specializes in helping people use the Enneagram as a practical tool for growth rather than just another label to collect.

How to Actually Use Your Enneagram Type (Instead of Just Knowing It) with Stephanie Barron Hall • 381

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 • The subtle difference between 
love and attachment • —and why most people get it wrong

 • How to 
allow your relationships to evolve • instead of holding onto old dynamics

 • The key to 
loving others without losing yourself • 

Have you ever outgrown a version of yourself but felt guilty for it? Like you’re supposed to stay the same person you’ve always been because it makes other people comfortable? Maybe you’re the “fun” friend who’s suddenly craving quiet. Or the overachiever who’s realizing that success at all costs isn’t actually success. Or the person who’s spent years in a relationship, but something inside you is whispering: You’re changing.

Real love—whether it’s romantic, platonic, or self-love—requires evolution. It asks us to stop clinging to what was and start creating something new. It asks us to let go of attachment, control, and old expectations so we can build relationships that actually support the people we’re becoming.

Today, our guest is Yung Pueblo aka Diego Perez is a meditator and #1 New York Times bestselling author who is widely known by his pen name, Yung Pueblo. He has sold over 1.5 million books worldwide that have been translated into over 25 languages. Online he has an audience of over 4 million people. His writing focuses on the power of self-healing, creating healthy relationships, and the wisdom that comes when we truly work on knowing ourselves. Diego’s new book, How to Love Better, is available for preorder and will be released in March 2025.

Yung Pueblo on How to Love Without Attachment (Why Most Relationships Get Stuck) • 391

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the survival patterns you developed around sexuality are the exact same patterns keeping you stuck everywhere else - and how seeing this connection sets you free

• The difference between using sex to escape pain versus using it to heal pain, and how to tell which side you're actually on

• How to separate your authentic desires from the stories you inherited, so you can finally make choices based on who you are instead of who you think you should be

What if the most dangerous thing you could do is keep pretending you're fine?

Let's get real for a second. Seventy percent of women have never had an orgasm during partnered sex. Not sometimes. Never. Meanwhile, boys learn by age seven that they're responsible for everyone else's pleasure. We're all walking around carrying sexual shame that doesn't even belong to us, wondering why intimacy feels like performing instead of connecting.

I spent years thinking something was wrong with me because I couldn't just magically know what felt good. Turns out, most of us are operating from scripts written by people who never lived in our bodies. Religious purity culture tells us desire is dangerous. Hook-up culture treats sex like a sport. Neither one teaches us how to actually connect with another human being.

Want to know what's really messed up? The World Health Organization says sexual health is fundamental to human wellbeing. Yet we spend more time learning algebra than understanding our own anatomy. We memorize the periodic table but stay clueless about consent. We study dead languages but can't speak the language of our own pleasure.

This stuff ripples out everywhere. When you disconnect from what you actually want sexually, you lose touch with what you want period. You become someone who says yes when you mean no. Who gives until you're empty. Who performs instead of living. This isn't just about bedroom problems. It's about life problems.

Today our guest is Lauren Elise Rogers, a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator and Embodied Intimacy & Relationship Coach, celebrated for her warm and approachable style. Her holistic and embodied approach to education and coaching is deeply rooted in her own pain to purpose journey, bringing an empathetic and non-judgmental approach that empowers clients to take ownership of their pleasure and grow in confidence and connection.

Why Bad Sex Means You're Living a Fake Life with Lauren Elise Rogers • 410

You're about to learn:

 • Why your brain rewards you for being biased—and how to break the cycle
 • The two-minute breathing trick that helps you think clearly under pressure
 • How to build “brain reserve” to protect your mind as you age

What if I told you your brain is literally shrinking right now?

I’ve been into brain hacks since I was a kid. I believed “mind over matter” was more than a saying—it was a strategy. And I swear I used it to outgrow asthma.

I have this core memory in 8th grade. We were running the mile in P.E., and I started feeling that tightness in my chest, like I couldn’t get a full breath in. My P.E. teacher looked freaked out, holding out my inhaler like “take it.”

But I didn’t. I just slowed down, took the deepest breaths I could, and kept repeating something in my head like “my lungs are healing.”

That’s the last time I really remember having an asthma attack. Maybe something small came up later, but nothing that stuck. After that, I became a cross country runner.

That moment changed the way I thought about what the mind can do. It made me wonder how much of what we accept as “just the way we are” could actually change.

Today’s guest is Dr. Therese Huston. She’s a cognitive scientist who realized neuroscience finally has tools that apply to real life. She wrote Sharp: How to Make Better Decisions, Solve Problems, and Think More Clearly—and she’s breaking down how we can actually train our brains to work better.

Your Brain Is Shrinking After 40... Here's How to Stop It with Therese Huston • 411

• How to let go, to stop trying so hard and be ok with who you are

 • Subtle ways to control tendencies

 • How to see your limitations as guidance toward a new way of being

Did you know that 11% of school aged kids and 19% of high school age boys have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?

It hasn’t alway been this way, in fact the numbers nearly doubled from the late nineties to the late 2000s.

We do live in an over-diagnosed society, but at the same time, the world we live in breeds distraction.

I have a history of ADD, and after growing tired of being anchored to a legal methamphetamine, I decided to take it on holistically.

My diet, my habits, my self beliefs, my intention, and, maybe most importantly, getting really clear about my why have made more of a difference that medication ever did.

 So today we’re going to be having a discussion on ADD and how to cope, you know just two adult ADD kids figuring shit out.

Our guest is Eli Weinstein. He’s a Social Work therapist who has gone through his own struggles with anxiety, ADHD, and men’s issues (being a new dad, body image issues, relationships, and general self-esteem/confidence) and he has firsthand experience leading children through this journey.

Working through ADD and ADHD • X09

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:

 • The surprising difference between healthy high standards and destructive perfectionism

 • How to recognize when your good intentions have become rigid rules that no longer serve you

 • Why true connection comes from sharing our messy parts, not our perfect performance

Have you ever caught yourself putting something off because you're waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect idea, or the perfect version of yourself to emerge? Maybe you don't consider yourself a perfectionist because your closet isn't color-coded or your life doesn't look Instagram-perfect. But what if perfectionism shows up in the way you hold yourself back?

What's fascinating is that perfectionism isn't actually about being perfect – it's about never feeling good enough. And in our current culture of "hustle harder" and "live your best life," this feeling of inadequacy has found the perfect breeding ground. We're even trying to perfect the way we practice self-care or show up authentically – can you see the irony?

Today our guest is Ellen Hendriksen, a clinical psychologist and author of "How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists." She brings a fresh perspective to the perfectionism conversation by showing us how our values can secretly transform into rigid rules, and how true growth comes not from perfect execution, but from authentic alignment with what matters most to us.
