Found you from Evolve and you are truly a gift. Thank you for sharing with the world! I was looking for a female voice in this arena that I could trust. John’s network provided that. Thank you!!

Mel has a magic for carefully curated and crafted episodes. Quick yet potent if applied. Mel will give insight into a single topic on mindfulness and communication. Critical skills with consequential affect to our daily lives and ultimately our quality or life. I value how at the end of each episode Mel assigns an activity at the end. Rather than be passive learned I’ve found implementing her framework has helped me bring awareness to situations that I’m less mindful of. These are frameworks I’ve been revisiting time and time again and I even saved it in my digital “second brain” because these are invaluable frameworks. The naming of these tools and frameworks like “Empowered Language” or “Perception Checking” really help with making it real. How there’s always two or more interpretations we can have on an event. Instead of judging/critiquing to observe instead. She gives word for word scripts and templates we can follow as guidelines to take immediate action. My favorite episode so far was Staying Mindful on a Weird Day. Mel gave us a recap of an ordinary day yet with key moments that had extraordinary opportunities. She shared how that day was full of highs and lows, frustrations and blissful moments. How even with her experience being mindful and someone who’s studies and teaches communication she too has her frustrations and internal battles. Her episode beautifully highlighted the demons and angels we wrestle with and was a moving and heartfelt story. From her encounters with a frustrated man with unexpected twist at the doctors office, to an overwhelmed doctor, to someone in a wheelchair helping her at target and a kid who wanted to buy her a lottery ticket. This is genuinely a memorable and stand out episode of the entire year across any piece of media I’ve listened, watched or read. Highly recommend hearing a seemingly ordinary story with extraordinary learning lessons. In my top 10 episode of all time. Mel’s bringing thoughtfulness, vulnerability and humanity to her words and it’s incredibly refreshing.
Love this podcast!
