Say YES! With Melanie Fiona

In this beautiful and expansive conversation, Devi sits in a sacred space with the luminous Melanie Fiona — a woman whose voice and spirit have touched hearts around the world. Together, we dive into a deeply personal exploration of self-discovery, healing, and the creative journey. Melanie opens her heart and shares how her purpose has evolved —how motherhood, artistry, and divine alignment have shaped who she is becoming. We talk about the joy that music brings, the importance of trusting your inner compass, and how saying “yes” — fully and unapologetically — can be one of the most powerful choices we make on the path to wholeness. She speaks about her upcoming EP “Say Yes” and the soul that lives in the music: a reflection of her truth, affirmations, and sacred conversations with God. We explore what it means to create from a place of spiritual clarity and how reconnecting with our inner child often leads us back to our most authentic selves. This episode is a love note to anyone standing at the edge of their own becoming. A reminder that creativity is sacred, healing is ongoing, and saying yes to life can open doors we never imagined.

Breaking the Silence: The Importance of Family Histories with Nicole Russell Wharton

In this soul-nourishing episode of the Deeply Well Podcast, Devi sits down with the radiant Nicole Russell-Wharton — a certified trauma-informed healing instructor whose work has been rooted in compassion, advocacy, and generational restoration. Together, we explore the sacred work of healing family legacies — the kind of healing that requires us to face the silences we've inherited and honor the stories that were never told. Nicole shares her powerful journey supporting children in foster care and reminds us how deeply transformative it can be when we create space for young people to feel seen, heard, and whole. We talk about the importance of tracing our lineage — not just to understand where we come from, but to reconnect with the wisdom, the pain, and the resilience our ancestors carried. This conversation moves gently through the layers of forgiveness, chronic illness, and health awareness — all parts of the healing process. We reflect on the beauty of documenting our stories and reclaiming our narratives so future generations can move forward with clarity and wholeness. If you've ever felt the weight of unspoken truths in your family or wondered how to begin the process of breaking generational cycles, this episode is a soft and powerful invitation. It is an invitation to lean into community, deepen your self-discovery, and allow healing to ripple through every branch of your family tree.
