Move With Heart

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Julianne Hough to talk about purpose, transformation, and the balance between hard work and play. Julianne shares how Dancing with the Stars has been a throughline in her life since she was 18 and how her spiritual practices, including meditation, morning pages, and prayer, help anchor her during seasons of growth. She opens up about the inspiration behind her first fiction book, how she structures her team at Kinergy, and the importance of pausing to make sure everything she takes on is done with intention. The conversation also touches on what it means to focus on one career milestone at a time, and even brings in some lighthearted dog advice along the way.

Melissa sits down with her longtime friend and “Mind Architect” Peter Crone for a powerful conversation on healing, surrender, and the freedom that comes when we release limitations. Together, they explore what it means to go inward, let go of toxic relationships with love, and strip away inherited labels, like mom and dad, that often keep us stuck in cycles of suffering. Melissa opens up about a recent painful experience that led to a full breakdown and breakthrough, revealing how in the mess we can begin to discover our true selves. From learning to feel emotions fully in moments of eruption, to asking whether something is life-threatening or ego-threatening, this episode is a raw and transformative reminder that freedom begins when we let go of the weight we’ve been carrying.

Melissa is back for Part 2 this week to dive deeper into your questions. In this episode, she shares why she never forgets where she came from, along with the wellness practices and rituals that keep her grounded. From the simplest tools, like your breath, your own body weight, and the willingness to show up, to her love of acupuncture, gravity colonics, red light for nervous system regulation, and time in the infrared sauna, Melissa opens up about what truly supports her. She also talks about her go-to skincare wellness practices such as dry brushing, gua sha, cupping, and face tape, and why they work. Beyond the physical, Melissa gets real about how she deals with online haters, what she does when she’s feeling off, and the importance of listening to your body when it’s giving you a visceral yes or no. This episode is a reminder that wellness doesn’t need to be complicated; it’s about tuning in and showing up for yourself every single day.

She also shares why anything truly worthwhile takes work, her tips for getting along with your mother-in-law, and how her own mother-in-law has become one of her biggest inspirations.

In this solo episode, Melissa dives deep into the idea that our triggers - the moments that make us feel jealous, envious, or reactive - can actually be our greatest teachers. She opens up about her own experiences navigating uncomfortable emotions and how creating safe spaces to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface can lead to powerful transformation. Melissa shares how she works through judgment, reactivity, and misalignment by slowing down, sitting with discomfort, and using it as a compass for growth. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with what makes you feel most alive, to tune in to the guidance within, and to begin moving through life from a place of clarity, intention, and deep self-trust - so the version of you you're becoming is led by alignment, not reaction.
