In Episode 7, Melissa and Alia, kick things off with our weekly Not So Zen moments — from porch raccoons to unfinished zen gardens — and talk about how to transmute life’s chaos back to calm. Then we dive into purgatory, that in-between space in life, love, and career where you’re not here, not there… just somewhere.

🎙️ In this episode, hear Alia and Melissa take things beneath the surface — exploring the magic of angel signs, synchronicities, and the subtle ways the Universe speaks to us. ✨

But first, we start with our Not So Zen moments from the week — the messy, human stuff that tested our peace — and how we transformed & transmuted them back into presence and grace.

This episode also holds a special vibration of love and remembrance as we honor Melissa’s father, who passed one year ago and whose birthday is 10/3. He continues to send signs from beyond — most often through pennies from heaven — reminding us that connection never fades, it just shifts form. 🕊️

Join us as we dig a lil bit deeper into faith, signs, and soul whispers — proof that the divine is always closer than we think. #NotSoZen #AngelSigns #Synchronicities #PenniesFromHeaven #PodcastHealing #SpiritualAwakening

When life gives you kidney scares, failed podcast recordings, and 4 hour ER wait times… you discover JOMO. In this episode, we swap FOMO for JOMO after a week of hospital runs, tech fails, and forced couch time. Spoiler: sometimes missing out is the best gift your body (and your microphone) can give you!

To stay or to go....that is the question....?

From Laughter to Legal Truth 🎙️ Starting with a hilariously “Not So Zen” moment before diving deep into finding justice through the legal system for sexual assault survivors. Trauma thrives in hiding – healing happens when we speak our truth. In this episode, we’re sharing the importance of healing modalities that support authenticity over silence, because your voice and your journey toward justice matter.

Real, unfiltered, funny, authentic. That’s the Not So Zen way. 💪✨

In this episode of Not So Zen, Melissa, the advocator, opens up about her experience with reiki at death when Alia, the healer, gave her father Reiki just days before he passed. From that personal story, we dive deeper into Reiki as a practice that clears low vibrational energy and raises our frequency — a pathway toward the higher consciousness New Earth is calling us into. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s a reminder that even in moments of loss, healing and light are possible.
