Where is the Love? Building Conscious Romantic Relationships
Are you sleepwalking your way through your relationship? If you think the answer may be yes, don’t make any drastic decisions— listen to this episode first, where Melissa and Mory talk about how to build conscious relationships in which you are naming and attending to your needs rather than staying silent and ashamed about them. They discuss the pillars of a healthy relationship, but also how to strengthen an unconscious relationship into a conscious one, in the context of their own marriages. Melissa presents a business proposal.For All Things Signal:To submit questions for future Signal episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on Instagram @signalwithmoryandmelissa https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on Instagram @moryfontanez https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/Order Mory's Book: “Higher Self: Reclaiming The Power of Your Intuition" using the links below!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063309998/keywords=self%2Bhelp%2Bbooks?tag=harpercollinsus-20Target: https://www.target.com/p/higher-self-by-mory-fontanez-hardcover/-/A-93091557#lnk=sametabWalmart:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Higher-Self-Reclaiming-the-Power-of-Your-Intuition-Hardcover-9780063309999/8883157124?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

Who is Your Higher Self?: Reviewing Key Concepts
Over the past several weeks, we’ve used a lot of key terms without offering any explicit definitions. What does “intuitive wisdom” feel like? Where do I get a “limiting belief” from? And most important of all, what is my “higher self,” and how can we access it? This week, Melissa interviews Mory on her philosophy, the origins of her terminology, and the way these ideas manifest in everyday life. This episode is designed to serve as a building block for all our newcomers, and even a refresher for longtime listeners! As Melissa puts it, how high is your self?For All Things Signal:To submit questions for future Signal episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on Instagram @signalwithmoryandmelissa https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on Instagram @moryfontanez https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/Order Mory's Book: “Higher Self: Reclaiming The Power of Your Intuition" using the links below!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063309998/keywords=self%2Bhelp%2Bbooks?tag=harpercollinsus-20Target: https://www.target.com/p/higher-self-by-mory-fontanez-hardcover/-/A-93091557#lnk=sametabWalmart:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Higher-Self-Reclaiming-the-Power-of-Your-Intuition-Hardcover-9780063309999/8883157124?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

Wealth Mindset: Dispelling Money Myths
There are a million podcasts that preach toxic positivity when it comes to money: “just think different and the money will follow,” they promise. This week, Mory and Melissa discuss what a real wealth mindset looks like, one that doesn’t trivialize poverty. The reality is that so much of our insecurity either directly comes from poverty or is inherited by an ancestor’s encounter with poverty. We develop limiting beliefs to cope with constant uncertainty; money trauma can mean everything from saving every penny to emptying the bank. Tune in to this week’s convo to hear how Mory and Melissa developed their own beliefs surrounding money, how trauma disconnects us from productive consciousness, and what role your higher self can play in confronting the past.For All Things Signal:To submit questions for future Signal episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on Instagram @signalwithmoryandmelissa https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on Instagram @moryfontanez https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/Order Mory's Book: “Higher Self: Reclaiming The Power of Your Intuition" using the links below!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063309998/keywords=self%2Bhelp%2Bbooks?tag=harpercollinsus-20Target: https://www.target.com/p/higher-self-by-mory-fontanez-hardcover/-/A-93091557#lnk=sametabWalmart:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Higher-Self-Reclaiming-the-Power-of-Your-Intuition-Hardcover-9780063309999/8883157124?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

Resilience: Turning Adversity into Purpose
This week the Beans join the thousands of people who are feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world right now. But fear not, the besties are putting on their big girl pants and showing us all how to embrace resilience. If resilience wasn’t modeled for you growing up, it can be especially difficult, but research suggests that a strong social support network in adulthood might actually be what we need to navigate life’s toughest challenges. Plus, Mory opens up about how her divorce changed her life and inspired her work as an intuitive life coach.

Validation Addiction: How to Choose Purpose over Performance
This week, the Beans reconvene to discuss our need for validation - where it comes from, how it works, and what you can do to heal that part of yourself which needs safety and security. As it happens, both Beans have recently had transformative experiences. Mory just returned from a restorative trip to Bali where she’s reconnected with her purpose; Melissa just returned from painting a step in her garage. Needless to say, your wonderful hosts are primed to dig into all things validation, from its role in social media to the tangible practices you can do to mitigate an addiction.

The Stories We Create
No girl, you're not "too much", you're just tangled in an old story that doesn’t fit you anymore.

The Beans have 3 clues to help you spot your inner fiction, even the ones tracing back to childhood. And once you've got the plot, Mory’s got the prompts to rewrite it.For All Things Signal:To submit questions for future Signal episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on Instagram @signalwithmoryandmelissa https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on Instagram @moryfontanez https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/Order Mory's Book: “Higher Self: Reclaiming The Power of Your Intuition" using the links below!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063309998/keywords=self%2Bhelp%2Bbooks?tag=harpercollinsus-20Target: https://www.target.com/p/higher-self-by-mory-fontanez-hardcover/-/A-93091557#lnk=sametabWalmart:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Higher-Self-Reclaiming-the-Power-of-Your-Intuition-Hardcover-9780063309999/8883157124?classType=REGULAR&from=/search
