Rebel Hugs and Radical Intuition: Healing Beyond Medicine with Melinda Lee Schmitt
In this deeply resonant episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Melinda Lee Schmitt—author of Rebel Hugger, empowerment coach, and intuitive guide—to explore the transformative power of intuition, self-trust, and authentic living. Melinda shares her journey of healing from multiple sclerosis, hugging thousands of strangers, and turning away from conventional medicine to embrace holistic and intuitive wellness.
We unpack what intuition feels like in the body, how it can lead us when logic fails, and why moments of surrender during major life transitions—divorce, illness, burnout—are not breakdowns, but breakthroughs. Melinda opens up about her spiritual connection with animals, especially a life-altering moment with a horse that helped her reclaim trust and authenticity.
Whether you’re navigating grief, disconnection, or simply wondering if there’s “more to life,” this episode is a gentle nudge toward tuning in to your inner compass and healing from within.
About the Guest:
Melinda Lee Schmitt is an empowerment coach, intuitive healer, and author of Rebel Hugger. After healing from MS and embracing a radically authentic lifestyle, she now supports women in reclaiming their power using intuition, energy healing, and deep self-love. Her work includes animal communication, nature-based healing, and emotional coaching.
Key Takeaways :
Intuition is a subtle, body-based guide that grows clearer with practice and presence—not urgency or fear.
Melinda's MS diagnosis led her to shift away from Western medicine and embrace holistic healing through nutrition and homeopathy.
Her year-long experiment of hugging strangers started as an act of connection but revealed the deeper need for self-love and healing loneliness.
Nature and animals, especially horses, reflect our authenticity and can become powerful guides when we drop pretenses and tune into truth.
In seasons of silence or emotional fog, surrendering—rather than forcing answers—can be the doorway to transformation.
Melinda emphasizes that intuition isn’t “woo”—it’s a survival skill and inner compass available to everyone.
Her book Rebel Hugger documents her healing, connection, and return to authenticity.
