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:

 • How to tap into the unparalleled intelligence of your heart to access higher intuition and make better daily decisions

 • How to align the brains in your heart, head and gut to create more health and success in your life

 • Proven practices to shift from overthinking and resistance into flow, clarity and harmony in your daily life

They say the mind is a powerful thing—but what if we've been putting the wrong part of ourselves in charge all along?

This is where heart intelligence comes in. It's not about abandoning logic—it's about finding a balance. It's about cultivating enough trust within ourselves that we can stop overthinking every decision and instead feel our way into a life that not only looks impressive on paper but feels deeply satisfying too.

In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to live from your heart, not just your head. We'll explore practical ways to quiet the mind's constant chatter and tune into your inner guidance system. Because here's the truth: your heart already knows what your mind can only dream of understanding.

Our guest is Kimberly Snyder, a multiple-time New York Times bestselling author, spiritual and meditation teacher, and an expert in heart-centered living and intuitive decision-making. Her latest book "The Hidden Power Of The Five Hearts" is all about awakening the heart - energetically and through the science of heart coherence - and how the power of the heart has been proven to create greater physical health, energy, emotional intelligence, hormonal balance and better digestion and gut health, as well as more peace and intuition.

The Hidden Power of Heart Coherence for Better Relationships, Mental Clarity, and Intuition with Kimberly Snyder • 370

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

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:

 • What happens to the brain during grief. 

 • Why some people adapt better than others when they lose someone. 

 • How to move through healing when we’re overwhelmed with grief. 

Most of us have experienced grief, whether from the death of a loved one or pet, a terminal or life-changing diagnosis for you or someone you love, or even a difficult breakup or divorce.

 

Death is still the number one fear that humans have so there can be a lot of emotions around it. There’s a feeling of unknown for most people which can cause more fear. But even more painful can be trying to visualize your life without that person in it.

 

Turns out, it takes a long time for our brains to really internalize that someone is gone. So today we’re learning about what happens to our brains on grief. Our guest is Mary-Frances O'Connor. is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab in investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. She’s also the author of The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss.
