What if the very success you've been working toward is the thing that hurts the most?

In this episode, Mellissa Seaman explores the growing pains of success: those tender, disorienting moments that can arise after you've reached the goals you once dreamed of.

Inspired by a conversation with a highly successful, world-renowned client, Mellissa shares why big expansion can surface grief, loss, and unexpected emotional challenges. Old relationships may fall away. Long-held identity stories dissolve. Even joy can feel complicated when you outgrow who you once were.

This episode is a reminder that success isn't just measured by money, recognition, or achievement, it's also about soul growth. When you step back and view your life through your soul's perspective, what feels like loss can be revealed as completion, wisdom, and deep spiritual victory.

If you've ever wondered why winning can feel like losing, or why expansion sometimes comes with grief, this conversation will help you breathe, reframe, and trust the larger arc of your becoming.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

✅ Why success can trigger grief, jealousy, and identity shifts

✅ How old relationship patterns often dissolve during expansion

✅ Why meeting your goals can expose outdated inner stories

✅ How to view endings and losses through your soul's perspective

✅ A powerful reframe to help you celebrate success while honoring the growing pains

Many of the world's most impactful healers, mentors, and innovators began life as "the gifted kid", high-achieving on the outside, deeply sensitive and intuitive on the inside, yet never truly understood the spiritual architecture behind their brilliance.

In this special episode, the mic flips. Venus Castleberg, Home Whisperer, healer, and longtime friend and collaborator, interviews Mellissa Seaman about her awakening journey, one that moved her from Stanford-educated attorney and devout Catholic leader into a mystical, multidimensional intuitive strategist serving thousands.

Mellissa shares how the birth of her second child blasted her open to spirit guides, energy sensing, and spontaneous healing abilities, why the traditional frameworks she grew up with could no longer contain her lived experience, and how she navigated the messy, miraculous path of becoming a shamanic channel and mentor without a roadmap.

This conversation is intimate, funny, honest, and deeply clarifying, especially for anyone experiencing their own intuitive expansion or wondering what to do when life reshuffles you into your true gifts.

✅ How Mellissa went from gifted student → lawyer → intuitive healer ✅ What actually sparked her psychic awakening (and why it felt strangely natural) ✅ The difference between imagination and true spiritual sight ✅ Why spirit teams are vast, fluid, and more symbolic than literal ✅ How Mellissa was "initiated" through phases: sensual awakening, trauma clearing, dark-energy work, and more ✅ The real distinction between coaching vs. mentoring when developing intuitive gifts ✅ Common mistakes new channels make (and the ones Mellissa made so you don't have to!) ✅ What's next for Mellissa—and the surprising new direction spirit is calling her into ✅ Her core message: You cannot fail at life. Your soul is held, guided, and supported beyond what you can imagine.

Many of the most powerful leaders on the planet are secretly empathic, intuitive, and deeply sensitive, and have no idea that's what's really driving them.

In this episode, Mellissa talks with Julie Jakopic, President and CEO of iLead Strategies, who advises policymakers, elected officials, NGO founders, and humanitarian organizations on the political front lines. Julie is highly respected as a strategist and consultant… and she's also a deep empath, artist, and intuitive.

Julie shares how she used to deny her intuition and pay a huge energetic price, how she finally understood that she was feeling other people's feelings, and how she now uses her intuitive gifts to support leaders in one of the most tumultuous, conflict-filled cultures in the US right now.

This is a must-listen for any empathic creative or undercover intuitive who wants to stay present, ethical, and effective in a wild and transforming world.

✅ How intuition shows up long before you have language for it ✅ The hidden cost of pretending to be "all rational" when you're actually empathic ✅ The simple question Julie gives her clients: "Whose feelings are these?" ✅ Why "woo" is often just science we haven't built yet ✅ Small, practical practices to discharge energy and stay resilient in chaos

Julie is the President and Chief Executive Officer at iLead Strategies. She helps visionary leaders and organizations do work that matters and live lives they love. Whether she is working with Fortune 500 executives, elected officials, nonprofit changemakers, or mission-driven founders, Julie helps clients cut through the chaos, get clear on their goals, and build resilient, people-first organizations that actually deliver results.

Leaders who come from their inspired Calling often feel drained, tired, and worn out. They're doing BIG Work every day, so it kind of makes sense… right? NO, wait! Mellissa has noticed something powerful: if it's draining you, it means there's a mismatch.

Maybe your focus needs to be updated. Maybe you never found the perfect-fit offering. Maybe your audience isn't quite right.

We see it all the time with the intuitive leaders we serve, when they adjust what they offer, to whom, and how, everything changes. Suddenly they feel energized by their work, their impact grows, and their revenue increases… even as they start doing LESS.

Just because you're magically gifted, empathic, or intuitive doesn't mean you shouldn't be strategic with your magic. Your gifts can create more results than "normies" ever could.

✅ Why sensitive, empathic leaders often burn out ✅ How to work in deeper alignment so your work energizes you ✅ Why intuitive offerings shouldn't be priced by the hour ✅ The mindset shift that allows empaths to receive higher fees ✅ How pricing impacts client results (more than you think)

Not everyone gets to have this kind of behind-the-scenes experience.

As a spiritual mentor and intuitive guide to high-net-worth clients, Mellissa Seaman has occasionally been flown on private jets for her work. While she loves the miracle of flying, whether on a commercial airline or a tiny puddle jumper, her first time on a private jet revealed a world most people never get to see. In this episode, Mellissa shares a rare, candid look at what it's actually like to fly private, and how these luxury experiences illuminate the growing divide between economic realities.

Her stories are both hilarious and eye-opening, offering a grounded perspective on wealth, privilege, and conscious leadership. She breaks down the three biggest surprises that opened her eyes to how differently the ultra-wealthy travel, and how these luxuries can shift worldview, comfort, and even ecological awareness.

✅ What flying private actually feels like behind the scenes ✅ How luxury can create (and distort) different lived realities ✅ Why wealth often comes with eco-guilt and why it rarely stops the behavior ✅ The surprising humanity beneath the glamor ✅ How these experiences deepen Mellissa's compassion across economic divides

✅ The myth of invisibility and how to reclaim it as your sacred cloak of power

✅ Why midlife is the prime time for spiritual and intuitive awakening

✅ The three pillars of wise woman visibility: Truth, Love, and Magic

In today's episode, Mellissa pulls back the curtain on one of the hottest buzzwords in leadership and coaching today: neuroscience. While corporate and executive programs rush to anchor every insight in brain scans and data, Mellissa challenges the obsession with what can be measured and calls us to reclaim the mystery, intuition, and higher intelligence that science alone can't explain.

Drawing on her years of working with intuitive professionals and grounded mystics alike, Mellissa explores how our fixation on "neural hacks" and logical proof can actually limit human potential. True wisdom, she argues, doesn't live only in the amygdala or prefrontal cortex, it flows from the greater field of consciousness itself.

If you've ever felt torn between your rational mind and your intuitive knowing, this episode will help you bridge both and expand beyond the box of "what can be proven."

• Why neuroscience can only take us so far in understanding human intelligence

• How intuition operates beyond measurable neural processes

• The risks of over-reliance on logic and "brain-based" coaching

• How to integrate neuroscience with mysticism for more authentic leadership

• Why the most powerful breakthroughs come when science and spirit work together
