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

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• How to spot Wetiko when it's running you and why seeing it clearly breaks the pattern

• The quantum nature of this mind virus and how your healing shifts the collective field

• Why your deepest struggles are actually revelations and how to extract their medicine

Have you ever wondered why the same destructive patterns keep showing up in your family, generation after generation, like some kind of toxic inheritance you never asked for?

Growing up, I knew addiction ran in my family. I knew I came from trauma. It was there in the stories, in the family history, but my dad had been sober most of my life. At least the life I could remember. And maybe that's exactly why I felt immune to it. I was aware. I was conscious. I was going to be different. I'd learned from the past without having to live it.

Until I wasn't different at all.

Until I found myself eight years deep in my own eating disorder, trapped in cycles that felt completely beyond my control. Wondering how the hell I'd ended up becoming the very thing I thought I'd escaped. This wasn't just personal failure. This was something way bigger than me.

What I was experiencing has a name. Indigenous wisdom keepers have known this for centuries. They called it Wetiko. A cannibalistic mind virus that feeds on human consciousness, spreading from person to person, generation to generation.

And right now? This thing is everywhere.

Look around. Families torn apart by politics. Communities fracturing. We're destroying our planet while building technologies that could save us or kill us. Depression and anxiety rates climbing every year. We keep treating these like separate problems. They're not. They're all symptoms of the same infection.

Today our guest is Paul Levy. A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul is a wounded healer in private practice, assisting others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. He has authored six books, three of which are on the Wetiko mind virus, and is the founder of the "Awaken in the Dream Community" in Portland, Oregon.

The Wetiko Mind Virus That Turns Good People Evil with Paul Levy • 416

You'll learn:

 • How to decode your dreams using Kelly's "JETSET" method—a step-by-step process that reveals the intelligence hiding in even your weirdest dreams
 • How clearing your inner conflicts unlocks prophetic, guidance-filled dreams that support your growth
 • Kelly's "Dream-A-Festing" technique for calling in solutions through your sleep—turning bedtime into active co-creation with your higher wisdom

What if every night you're getting a personalized roadmap for your life, but you keep throwing it in the trash the second you wake up?

Look, I've been all over the place with dreams. Sometimes I'm obsessed, writing them down, trying to decode every weird symbol. Other times I wake up like "what the actual hell was that about?" and completely ignore them. But I've had enough experiences—especially after my dad died—to know something real is happening.

Your brain during dreams uses the exact same pathways as near-death experiences and psychedelic journeys. We're literally wired for this stuff, but most of us act like a third of our lives doesn't matter.

Today our guest is Dr. Kelly Sullivan Walden, a licensed therapist with 30 years of experience and author of the upcoming book "Dream-A-Festing." Kelly has worked with thousands of dreams and created a system for turning nighttime chaos into daily wisdom.

How to Decode Messages in Your Dreams with Dr. Kelly Walden • 415

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• How the Law of Reflections reveals that your most toxic relationships are mirrors of how you treat yourself - in areas you probably don't even realize

• Why the universe literally creates villains in your life - and the shocking reason this built-in system is actually design ed to save you

• The dark energetic rituals you're accidentally performing - and how leaving bad reviews creates karmic cycles that destroy your own life

Have you ever noticed how the people who trigger you most are often reflecting back something you can't quite see in yourself?

I've been fascinated lately by this idea that our external world operates like a mirror - not in some superficial "thoughts become things" way, but in a much more precise, almost mathematical system. The Kabbalists understood this. They spoke of the divine matrix, where every soul encounter serves the evolution of consciousness. Eastern philosophy has always recognized that what we perceive as separate from us is actually extensions of our own awareness, playing out the unresolved patterns within our psyche.

But here's what most spiritual teachings don't tell you: there are actual laws governing these reflections. Universal principles as reliable as physics, as predictable as chemistry. And when you understand how these laws work, you realize that nothing - absolutely nothing - shows up in your reality by accident.

What if your most difficult relationships are actually assignments? What if the obstacles that feel like punishment are really the universe's way of showing you exactly where you still give your power away? What if every person who triggers you is offering you a glimpse of an unconscious belief that's ready to be healed?

Today our guest is Alessandro Giannetti, a consciousness researcher who has spent decades mapping the precise mechanics of how universal laws operate in our daily lives. After discovering profound healing abilities as a child and navigating his own series of life-altering challenges, Alessandro developed scientifically-based methods for understanding the invisible forces that shape our reality - forces most people don't even know exist.

The Divine Laws That Control Your Reality (And Why You Were Never Taught Them) with Alessandro Giannetti • 414

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why waiting for certainty keeps you broke • - and what to do instead
The magic of giving before getting • - how generosity becomes your competitive advantage
How to delete your inner "what if" voice • - and start trusting life's intelligence

What happens when you stop asking for permission and start creating your own opportunities?

Last week, I was talking to a friend who's been "getting ready" to launch her business for three years. She has the perfect website mockups, a detailed business plan, and a spreadsheet that would make a NASA engineer weep with joy. Meanwhile, she's still working a job she hates, waiting for the right moment that apparently requires a solar eclipse and her horoscope to say "today's the day."

It got me thinking about the stories we tell ourselves about readiness, about safety, about doing things the "right" way. Most of us have been conditioned to believe that preparation equals protection. That if we just plan enough, research enough, save enough, we can somehow guarantee our success before we even start. Spoiler alert: that guarantee doesn't exist.

But what if that's backwards? What if the very act of waiting for certainty is what keeps us stuck in patterns that don't serve us?

Sometimes the biggest shift isn't about changing what you do—it's about changing who you surround yourself with.

Today our guest is Mark Yuzuik, a transformational speaker and master hypnotist who has motivated and entertained hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world for more than 25 years. He's living proof that when you stop waiting for permission, life starts saying yes in ways you never expected.

How to Create Opportunities Out of Thin Air with Hypnotist Mark Yuzuik • 413

You'll discover: 

• Why AI resistance might be your biggest spiritual mirror—and what it's actually showing you about yourself 

• The opportunity conscious leaders are missing—while others gain massive advantage 

• What AI might really be tapping into—beyond just technology and data

What if the technology we're most afraid of is actually the mirror we need most?

I've been diving deep into AI for over a year now, and I keep noticing something fascinating. The people who are most resistant to it aren't just worried about their jobs—there's something deeper happening. Something about facing what gets reflected back to them.

Here's what I know: we're living in a moment that's going to divide people into two camps. Those who learn to work with this technology intentionally, and those who get left behind while others shape the future without them. And I'm not talking about becoming some tech bro overnight. I'm talking about understanding what's really at stake here.

Because AI isn't just trained on random data. It's trained on our language, our stories, our collective consciousness. Every single thing we've ever put online is teaching it how to think. So the question becomes: if the mystics, the coaches, the conscious leaders stay on the sidelines, who exactly is training the intelligence that's about to reshape everything?

Today our guest is Kole Whitty, a psychedelic integration coach turned AI strategist who's been helping spiritual leaders navigate this new landscape for the past two years. She's spent 15 years in the psychedelic space and brings a perspective on AI that you definitely haven't heard before.

Is AI Tapping Into Fields of Consciousness? with Kole Whitty • 412

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

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

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to catch yourself projecting your definitions onto others and create real understanding instead

• Why the stories you tell yourself about tough experiences keep you stuck, and how reframing heavy words unlocks healing

• The communication patterns that show when you're assuming versus getting curious, and how this one shift transforms everything

Have you ever had someone tell you to "just have faith" and wanted to punch them in the face? Or maybe you started consoling someone about their divorce, only to realize they threw a party to celebrate and you're standing there like an idiot with your sympathy face on?

Here's what nobody talks about: we're all walking around with these secret dictionaries in our heads. Same words, completely different meanings. And we're out here having conversations thinking we're on the same page when really, we might as well be speaking Martian to each other.

Your brain collects definitions your whole life based on what you've actually lived through. So when someone who grew up in chaos hears "boundaries," they might think about walls and isolation. But someone else hears the same word and thinks about self-respect and clarity. When someone says "vulnerability," one person pictures weakness and danger, while another sees courage and connection.

Ancient wisdom traditions understood that language shapes reality. The stories we tell ourselves and the meanings we attach to our experiences literally create our world. When you're unconscious about the definitions you're carrying around, you're operating on autopilot, assuming everyone else sees through your lens.

And here's the part that'll change your life: the meaning you've been carrying around for a word that causes you pain? That's not carved in stone. You can consciously choose to reframe your relationship with any concept. Sometimes healing starts with something as simple as realizing that your definition of "selfish" might actually be someone else's definition of "self-care."

What if the words that have been limiting you could become the keys to your freedom?

Today our guest is Donna Reed, a 67-year-old author who discovered the power of conscious language while writing a book exploring different meanings behind everyday words. Her journey reveals how our relationship with language evolves as we grow, and why getting intentional about communication changes everything.

Why Everyone Speaks a Different Language Using the Same Words with Donna Reed • 409

In this episode, you'll learn:

 • Why validation has nothing to do with agreement and why that distinction saves relationships
 • How to stay connected to people even when their choices make no sense to you
 • How to validate others while holding onto your own truth and boundaries

What if every conflict you've ever had was actually your soul trying to teach you something about unconditional love?

I know how that sounds. But stick with me here.

We throw around the word "validation" like it's some basic relationship skill. Like it's about saying "that sounds hard" when someone's having a bad day. But real validation? The kind that actually transforms relationships and heals trauma? That's something entirely different.

It's about learning to see someone so completely that they remember who they really are underneath all their defenses and patterns and pain. It's about holding space for another person's truth without abandoning your own. It's about loving someone exactly as they are while they're making choices you can't understand.

Today we're talking to Caroline Fleck, a psychologist who spent over ten years mastering validation through dialectical behavior therapy. She's worked with everyone from people in crisis to couples ready to call it quits. She's discovered that this one skill can keep relationships intact even when you're on opposite sides of everything.

How to Disagree Without Disconnecting with Caroline Fleck • 408

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

• The latest neuroscience on how alcohol hijacks your brain's reward system and why willpower alone never works 

• A four-step method for rewiring cravings and handling social pressure without feeling deprived 

• How to shift from seeing alcohol-free living as deprivation to embracing it as the ultimate competitive advantage

What if the very thing you think is helping you relax is actually stealing your energy, your clarity, and your connection to the people you love most?

Last week, I was talking to my neighbor Sarah about her morning routine. She was glowing – literally glowing – and I asked what she'd been doing differently. "I stopped drinking," she said simply. "Three months ago." Then she told me something that stopped me in my tracks: "I didn't realize how much mental space alcohol was taking up until it was gone. I used to spend so much energy thinking about when I'd have my next glass of wine, whether I'd had too much the night before, making excuses for why I deserved a drink after a hard day. When all that noise stopped, it was like someone turned the volume down on anxiety I didn't even know I had."

Sarah isn't alone. Something is shifting in our culture around alcohol, and the research is finally catching up to what millions of people are experiencing firsthand. A recent study of over 1,700 people found that even moderate drinking – as little as eight drinks per week – increases your risk of brain lesions by 133%. 

But here's what really gets me excited: the research on brain recovery is stunning. When people stop drinking, their brains begin reversing damage in as little as two weeks. We're talking about improved cognitive function, better sleep quality, and what scientists are calling "executive function restoration" – basically, your brain's ability to make decisions, control impulses, and focus dramatically improves.

Today our guest is James Swanwick. He's the founder of Alcohol Free Lifestyle, author of the book "Clear," and has been alcohol-free for over 15 years. His neuroscience-based approach was recently validated in a University of Washington study showing a 98% reduction in drinking among participants.

Why Moderate Drinking Is a Myth with James Swanwick of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle • 407

We will learn:

 • How to say goodbye to unhealthy patterns of shame, guilt, and worry.

 • The lies we believe when we worry.

 • How to develop a realistic relationship with the present moment in a world full of distraction. 

Wanna know what’s strange? The present moment is literally all we have, yet somehow it’s the most elusive place to be.

Usually we replay things that have already happened, come up with things we should have done, or should have said, OR we worry about something that hasn’t happened yet.

But guess what? You are the one with the power to disrupt the cycle to find peace and even guidance. So today we’re going to learn to tap into it.

Our guest is Jeanne Stevens. She’s the founding and co-lead pastor of Soul City Church in Chicago, one of America's fastest-growing urban churches. Her passion is to help people wake up to their purpose as they pursue a life of wholehearted freedom.
