The Melissa Ambrosini Show

Grief — all of us have felt it or will feel it at some stage in our lives. Yet it’s surprisingly misunderstood as an emotion and an experience, and many of us feel like we need to “hurry” through it or “fix” it as soon as possible. But is that what our hearts actually need in order to heal? In this intimate episode, I’m sharing my personal account of love, loss and how I survived one of the hardest times of my life, along with practical tips to support other people who are grieving, a discussion on how grief impacts our physical health (and what you can do about it), as well as a guide to opening yourself up to post-traumatic growth (which can be a beautiful way to honour the passing or end of a relationship). This is a hopeful, helpful, and ultimately healing conversation — and one that you’ll come back to again and again.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/421 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Gary Zukav is one of Oprah Winfrey’s favourite spiritual gurus and a New York Times bestselling author multiple times over.

There are so many ‘aha’ moments packed into this conversation, as well as a reassuring sense of hope. Gary provides a roadmap out of the divisive state we are currently living in and shows how simple and achievable it is to shift into a deeper level of compassion and empathy for all.

Dr Sam Rader is a practicing psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience. She believes that during the first five years of our lives, our experiences as a child write a ‘source code’ in our unconscious, which then determines the way that the rest of our life unfolds. In this powerful conversation, Dr Sam is teaching us how to rewire that source code, so that we can stop reverting to the coping patterns we picked up in childhood (which are no longer serving us), and instead, intentionally create the psychological foundations for the best version of ourselves to emerge. This is a must-listen episode. If you want to know how to understand and use the powerful tool between your ears more effectively, and to step out of the repetitive behaviours, beliefs, and relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck, you’re going to absolutely LOVE this conversation. It’s also essential listening for all parents who want to break the cycle of psychological and spiritual suffering with their own children, and help them build a robust, resilient psyche from the get-go.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/416 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Join me for this wide-ranging solo conservation, where I’m pulling back the curtains on what life is *really* like with a baby — including the support network I put into place to be our ‘village’, how I learned to get okay with asking for and receiving help, the bodywork practitioners who’ve been rocking my world, and how I’ve adapted my daily routines and rhythms now that Baby B is here. I’m also delving deep into how I structured my postpartum recovery period. This is *such* an important topic, and it’s one that is not talked about enough. You’ll hear about my unique approach, which ensured that my baby and I had all the time and space we needed to bond, while my mind, body and soul got the rest and nourishment they needed to recover and evolve during this sacred time of transition from maiden to mother. (If you or anyone you know is pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant, or might want to have a baby one day in the future, listen to this episode now and bookmark it for later, so that you know *exactly* how to help yourself or your friends when the time comes.)Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/415 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.
