    Why the things in your life don’t make you happy despite them being what you always wanted

    Have you ever gotten the thing you thought you wanted, the job, the money, the relationship, the house, and then realized… this isn’t doing what I thought it would? In this episode of the The Honor You Podcast, Melissa talks honestly about why that happens. Why the things we chase can feel exciting at first and then fall flat, why that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you, and what you can do about it. She breaks down how our brains are wired to chase comfort, dopamine, and “feel-good” rewards, and how that wiring often leads us toward things that look good on paper but don’t actually make us feel fulfilled. From money and material stuff to food, relationships, and achievement, Melissa walks through “false pleasures” versus the things that truly satisfy us long-term. This episode is a conversation about fulfillment, honoring yourself, and how to stop organizing your life around “once I have this, I’ll be happy.” In this episode, Melissa shares: Why getting what you want doesn’t always make you happy How the brain keeps us chasing comfort and quick rewards The difference between short-term pleasure and real fulfillment Why money, status, and material things lose their shine What actually creates a sense of purpose and satisfaction How honoring yourself changes the way you make decisions Questions to help you notice where your life feels off, and why Listen if: You’ve hit milestones but still feel unsettled or bored You keep thinking “there has to be more than this” You’re successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside You’re tired of chasing the next thing and want things to feel better You want your life to feel aligned, not just impressive Announcement: I'm excited to share that the ​self-paced version of The Honor You Lab i​s now open!

    Addressing Problems: Why you’re likely taking on more than you should

    Podcast Description: In this episode, host Melissa Coloton explores a powerful question many of us are quietly struggling with: Are you taking on more problems than you can actually handle? Inspired by a conversation between Jay Shetty and Tony Robbins, Melissa unpacks how modern life, from constant news cycles, to social media and global awareness, has dramatically increased the number of “problems” our brains are trying to process every day. While access to information isn’t inherently bad, our nervous systems haven’t evolved to carry the weight of the world alongside our personal challenges. Melissa shares reflections from her own life, why so much of our anxiety comes from problems we feel powerless to change, and how overexposure to information can lead to stress, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. She also offers five practical ways to reduce mental overload, protect your energy, and honor your mind, especially as we move into a new year. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconsider what you allow into your mental and emotional space. In this episode, I share: Why everyone has problems—and why modern life makes it feel heavier than ever How social media, news, and constant information contribute to stress and anxiety Why your brain treats global problems as personal threats Five practical ways to reduce overwhelm and mental overload How honoring yourself starts with honoring your mind and nervous system Mentioned in this Episode: On Purpose podcast by Jay Shetty Tony Robbins The Honor You Lab Priority Waitlist.

    Listener Favorite: How To Find Your Life Purpose

    Podcast Description: This listener-favorite episode is back at the start of the new year for anyone reflecting on what they truly want out of life - purpose, fulfillment, and the guidance to create a more meaningful life. In this episode, I explain why purpose isn’t something you discover all at once and why waiting for clarity keeps people stuck. Instead, I share a three-step process for identifying what actually matters by listening to your emotions, taking action, and adjusting based on real feedback.  If you’ve ever felt frustrated by not knowing what your purpose is, or felt pressure to “figure it all out”, this episode will help you approach the question differently.

    Listener Favorite: Outsourcing Your Life Leads To An Unrecognizable You

    Episode Description As we close out the year, I’m bringing back one of the most-listened-to episodes of The Honor You Podcast, one that feels especially resonant in this end-of-year, in-between space. Are you living a life that feels like it’s not entirely yours? Have you ever wondered how you got here and who you really are beneath all the expectations? In this episode, I dive into the idea of “outsourcing your life,”and how, little by little, it can lead you away from your authentic self. I explore how external pressures from parents, society, work, and even technology can quietly shape our choices without us realizing it. I share personal stories from my own career transition, coaching sessions, and everyday conversations that reveal how disconnection often happens slowly… and unintentionally. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin insourcing your life again, especially as the year comes to a close and the urge to evaluate, reset, or reinvent starts to surface. You’ll learn how to: Reconnect with yourself and honor your soul’s desires Notice emotions as valuable information, not obstacles Take aligned action, even when your mind resists change Use natural seasons (winter included) as guides,without pressure or expectation Whether this is your first listen or a return to a listener favorite, I invite you to notice what lands now, at this point in your life.
