    Using the seasons as a guide to life: how to get unstuck, deal with triggers, and live life peacefully with Dr. Adam Gries and Laura Gries

    In this week’s episode of The Honor You Podcast, Melissa sits down with Adam and Laura Gries for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about using the seasons as a guide to life. Drawing on Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy, Adam and Laura share how the natural rhythms of birth, growth, maturity, decay, and renewal can become a framework for navigating both the calm and chaotic moments of our lives. Together, they explore what it means to honor the season you’re in, whether you’re in a period of rest, rebuilding, or full bloom, and how resisting change often leads to the feeling of being “stuck.” This conversation unpacks how to release attachment to outcomes, let go of what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your inner rhythm so you can move through transitions with more grace and clarity.   Who This Episode is For: This episode is anyone who feels stuck, out of sync, or disconnected from themselves. If you’ve been pushing through life, clinging to what’s working (or avoiding what isn’t), this episode offers a grounding reminder that you are part of a larger cycle, and that every season has a purpose.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: I Choose You by Adam Gris Awakenings Online Program by Adam and Laura Gris Dr. & Laura Gries’s website The Awakenings Program Magic Seed Podcast  Grief Coma episode mentioned The Honor You Lab coaching program The Honor You Lab – join the waitlist to access the next cohort Marianne Williamson’s book Divine Compensation   Additional Free Resources: My NEW Quiz: Where Are You Abandoning Yourself?

    The Most Underrated Key to Happiness

    Episode Description Is happiness something that just happens when everything falls into place, or is it something you can actually build from within? In this week’s episode of The Honor You Podcast, Melissa Coloton shares what she believes is one of the most underrated keys to happiness: how you talk to yourself. She explores the subtle but powerful difference between listening to your mind and speaking to it, noticing when the mind’s chatter is rooted in fear, judgment, or old programming, and learning how to consciously shift that inner dialogue toward self-respect and compassion. Drawing from her own experiences, coaching conversations, and real-life moments of frustration and growth, Melissa explains how your emotions act as messengers from your soul, showing you where you’re out of alignment and what your deeper truth is asking for. She reminds us that happiness isn’t about perfection or constant positivity, but about choosing presence and kindness toward yourself, especially when life feels messy or uncertain. This episode is both a grounding and empowering invitation to recognize that happiness doesn’t come from external circumstances, but from how you relate to yourself through them.
