  • Ep 48: Conscious Parenting with Elle Jaye

    In this powerful episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, I’m joined by Elle Jaye — a truth-teller, mindset shifter, and author of Survivorship. Elle’s work centers on helping women, especially single mothers, move from power struggles to purpose. But don’t be mistaken — this conversation isn’t just for moms.

    Fellas, lean in.
    This is about leadership in its rawest form. It's about breaking generational patterns, showing up with emotional intelligence, and letting go of control in favor of connection — whether you’re leading in your home, in your business, or just trying to lead yourself through a season of change.

    Elle opens up about personal scars, family wounds, and the courageous mindset shifts that turned her pain into power — and the conversation challenges us all, as men and women, to rethink what strength really looks like.

    We talk legacy, fatherhood, emotional honesty, and how to lead without letting past pain call the shots. If you've ever wrestled with how to lead better — this episode is for you.

  • Ep 46: Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You

    "What are you still holding onto… that’s already let go of you?"

    In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores what it truly means to let go—not just of people or situations, but of the mindsets, insecurities, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve us.

    You’ll learn how to release with intention, how to stop mistaking your reluctance to let go as being pulled back, and how to spot the false security we cling to in jobs, relationships, or patterns that feel safe—but keep us stuck. Melvin also clarifies the difference between honoring your past and being held hostage by it, reminding us that letting go doesn’t mean losing the lesson—it means making room for the life that’s calling you forward.

    🎙️ Get ready for a moment of real talk, reflection, and mindset clarity.
