Signal with Mory & Melissa Mory Fontanez

This week, the Beans reconvene to discuss our need for validation - where it comes from, how it works, and what you can do to heal that part of yourself which needs safety and security. As it happens, both Beans have recently had transformative experiences. Mory just returned from a restorative trip to Bali where she’s reconnected with her purpose; Melissa just returned from painting a step in her garage. Needless to say, your wonderful hosts are primed to dig into all things validation, from its role in social media to the tangible practices you can do to mitigate an addiction. What happens when you check in with yourself before searching for external approval?

Karma is both Melissa’s boyfriend and Mory’s teacher this week, as we discuss this concept originating from Hinduism and Buddhism. What is karma? Why do bad things happen to good people? How do I get good karma? Taylor Swift might not have the answers, but this episode of the podcast does. However, “Will Melissa ever make ‘ride the wave’ work” is still a question that might never have an answer...

Every generation in the United States has become less religious than the one before. What is happening with organized religion, and where are people going to satiate their spiritual needs? This week, Mory and Melissa finally tackle the divide between spirituality and religion, using everything from poll data, personal testimony, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Can one be both religious and spiritual? What is the essence of religion, and how does it differ from that of spirituality? What happens when we have to choose between familiar traditions and personal dignity? Tune in to hear the Beans answer tough questions - but, as always, stay for the cringiest of cringes and the most delightful delights.

A listener asked us an excellent question, and we responded in this episode! How can parents cultivate intuition in their children? Mory shares the principles of intuitive parenting while Melissa works on applying them to some real-life examples. The bottom line is that all children are born with an inner knowing, and often the best thing a parent can do is to support their relationship to that knowing. To learn just what that looks like, you’ll have to tune in. We absolutely loved responding to a listener’s question: if you have a question about purpose or intuition you’d like clarity on, slide into our DM’s!

Are you sleepwalking your way through your relationship? If you think the answer may be yes, don’t make any drastic decisions— listen to this episode first, where Melissa and Mory talk about how to build conscious relationships in which you are naming and attending to your needs rather than staying silent and ashamed about them. They discuss the pillars of a healthy relationship, but also how to strengthen an unconscious relationship into a conscious one, in the context of their own marriages. Melissa presents a business proposal.
