Hey! We have a special bonus episode today, from a sweet friend of mine. Pieces of a Pisces is a space created by Zhanae, somebody who feels a lot and wants to share pieces of that with people. She doesn’t have all the answers, she’s not perfect, but she’s lived, survived, and loved. For her, it’s really about connection and creating a space where the heavy and the light can sit side by side. Through her stories, she wants people to feel seen, like they’re not the only ones going through it.

For Zhanae, it’s about showing both sides; survival is hard, it takes so much out of you, but even in that there are still moments of love, whether it’s love you give yourself, love you get from others, or small reminders that you’re still human and still worthy. She wants people to hear that yes, she’s been through tough seasons, but there’s always that little sprinkle of love that keeps her going.

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden! Tonight we have a special throwback of an episode, but this one is entirely NEW! Inspired by a comment from TheWafflePerson on Spotify, this one is for you. The system rebooted after I was checking my old filing metrics, and it turns out I still have access to some of the old clients that I earned from my days at SomnoSync. I've gone freelance now, but that means we have to start with the basics again, and see where we left off from our last session! Lets hope it still works :')

I want to thank all of you, and you and you and you, for still listening. There were times when all the money I had was the ad revenue from the podcast. It was what bought my cats food, or my dinner. So to say thank you never feels like enough, but you all are the reason im here. im here. Meli xx

Check out my YOUTUBE for more archived episodes and don't forget to follow so that you never miss when I randomly post! <3

Hi friends! If you are seeing this, I am still trying to get the NEW episode up for this Sunday. Unfortunately the audio is skipping and it's probably due to some faulty cord. I'll have a few more things up this week but for the time being I hope you can enjoy this placeholder! Meli xx :)

Hi friends, welcome welcome welcome to the ASMR Garden. I recorded this way back almost exactly 365 days ago, in October of 2024, then I re-recorded some parts of it in November of 2024 and it still never got released. So now a full year later I found this in my computer documents and I decided it would be less wasteful here. So if you like this kind of thing, i hope you find lots of enjoyment, its a long episode but it is only the first 10 chapters so if you'd like the remaining 8 chapters leave me a comment on Spotify. Much love to you my dear friends, sleep well and goodnight. Meli xx

This is not an ASMR episode, my friends.There is a Trigger Warning — please only listen if you are comfortable with the themes and descriptions noted at the start of the episode.

================================================

From the voice of The ASMR Garden comes a new project, born from my same love of storytelling, reflection, and exploring the human psyche, but now centered on breaking the silence in my quiet hometown.

Last Day Today is a local, real-time series created, researched, and produced by me, Mel Leone (Meli xx).

Chapter One covers the Miller family’s 40th birthday trip to Atwood Lake: a weekend that unraveled into a rude reckoning. We follow a family of six, convinced that the rapture would come on August 23rd, 2025, and the shattering fall back to earth as reality took hold.

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden!

Tonight's episode is best suited for those aged 14 and older, there is nothing graphic described, although some moments are tense and heartbreaking.

In this special episode, we share the powerful stories of Karam and Qusay, two young souls facing the unimaginable. We follow Karams lifelong journey of caring for his mother, sick with cancer, and Qusay, who tragically lost his father just a month ago.

Through poetry, personal reflection, storytelling, and deep empathy, we bring awareness to their struggles and offer a call for support. Listen in to understand their reality and help bridge a lifeline to Palestine.

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden! Tonight, I am going to be reading from a book that I have had hidden away in my book basket for way too long. It's called the Illustrated Guide to Cats of the World by Howard Loxton and illustrated by Peter Warner.

It just so happened to be raining, and I pulled out my Rode mic and it worked like an absolute charm, even with dust all over it. So, it's good to be here, I wanted to spread some rest, calm, and love and this is one of the best ways I know how; chatting and yapping with yall. Thank you for joining in.

Head over to these spots and see what I'm up to:

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden! This was my very first ASMR video I recorded sometime during the pandemic, but, I have a Youtube Channel with other videos that I will be periodically uploading to Anchor and Spotify. You can find more podcast episodes at Apple podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and other directories. 

Tonight I am presenting a cuckoo clock cleaning. This video has plenty of background noise due to the location, and all I use is my phone and phone mic. The clocks are all handmade from Germany, and this is my first time looking at them up close. 

Enjoy! x

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden! I have missed you all so much, but that is always the biggest understatement, as I have been thinking of you since the last time we caught up. Life has a way of taking us away from the things we promised ourselves we would never part from. Thankfully, the rivers of life have brought me gently back here to you tonight. Please enjoy my ode to my very early beginnings as a podcaster, when I would upload on to Soundcloud. Speaking of Soundcloud, ALL of my episodes are featured on there, and you will no longer be able to access them on asmrmeli.com, so reference there for all your ASMR Meli needs. I am working on myself, but I am also working on continuing to be right here, behind the mic. Don't be afraid to put yourself first, no one is going to be able to do it as well as you can. We will speak soon, sleep well my friends.

Welcome welcome welcome to The ASMR Garden! 

Hello friends.. Anchor/Spotify have given me early access to video podcasts! If you haven't already seen this on my Youtube, then you'll be pleasantly surprised. Nearly a year ago I created this Mini Rode Mic test in hopes of creating better sound for all of you. 

Let me know how you think I did, enjoy.
