The Melissa Ambrosini Show

Being more spiritual, conscious and mindful each day is definitely a goal of mine and a constant work in progress, but in the past I have taken this journey way too seriously. Which is why I love today's guest, JP Sears, who uses humour to make fun of people like me. Since watching his hilarious videos which total 100’s of millions of views, such as ‘How To Be Gluten Intolerant’ and ‘Becoming An Expert Yoga Teacher’, I was able to bring more lightness, joy and play to the sometimes serious topics like consciousness, meditation, enlightenment and mastering your ego (aka Mean Girl). For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/57 JP is not only a world famous comedian delivering inspiring and epic content in a hilarious way, but he is also the real deal - an emotional healing coach, YouTuber, bestselling author of How To Be Ultra Spiritual, international teacher, speaker, world traveler, and curious student of life. All of his work empowers people to live more meaningful lives

You can probably tell by now that this is going to be bit of a different episode. No, Melissa has not had a sex change, this is in fact her husband Nick doing bit of a podcast takeover. Each week Melissa asks you who you want interviewed on the show, and one of the most common requests is actually to hear more from Melissa. So in this extra special episode I am going to be playing the role of host while I get to ask Melissa all your top questions on the topics of love, relationships and soulful sex. Plus, if you are extra lucky, you might snag a few extra juicy insights from me too along the way ;)For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/55Melissa Ambrosini needs no introduction. But since I have you as my captive audience, let me share a bit about Melissa from my perspective. When we first met, I was totally taken by what I call her ‘shininess’. Melissa is honestly the most authentic and beautiful person I have ever met, which explains why I proposed to her after just 2

Empowering, life changing, ecstatic… not words you’d usually use to describe childbirth, right? Well, after listening to today’s podcast guest, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, I’m betting you’re going to be changing the way you look at, talk about, and conceptualise this sacred right of passage. Because as Debra’s work shows, it IS possible to have a childbirth that’s filled with love, bliss, dignity… and even orgasm! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/53 Debra Pascali Bonaro is a pioneer in reminding humanity that birth can be full of pleasure and delight.

I’ve tried all sorts of meditations — from mantra based meditation, to visualization, mindfulness and deep breathing. But until a few years ago, I had never tried orgasmic meditation (OM)... and oh boy am I glad I did! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/51 Unlike other meditations, which you do on your own, OM is a consciousness practice you do with another person. The OM practice combines the power and attention of meditation with the deeply human, deeply felt, and connected experience of orgasm. The benefits of this practice are huge — and backed up by both science and loads of personal stories of transformation. As well as feeling amazing, getting your OM on can incline people towards empathy, connection, and generosity. Orgasm also magnifies, intensifies, and vivifies everyday experience — not by altering it, but by revealing its true nature. The implications for our health, happiness, and relationships are astounding. To teach us about this sacred, sensual pra

What happens when we leave this earth suit? What’s on the ‘other side’? And what’s the true meaning of this wild and precious life we’ve been gifted? Today’s podcast guest, Anita Moorjani, has the answers to these questions... and her story is likely to blow your spiritual socks off. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/50 After four years of illness, Anita was in the final stages of terminal cancer. Her body — riddled with tumours — was shutting down, and doctors had all but written her off. It was then, in her comatose state, that she had a near death experience — visiting the other realm, experiencing unconditional love, and realising her inherent worth. Upon waking, Anita shocked her medical team by rapidly healing her body, with all traces of cancer disappearing in just a few short weeks. Describing herself as ‘just an ordinary Indian girl who had an extraordinary experience’, Anita went on to change her life, reclaim her health, and rewrite her future. Since th

It’s always so inspiring to meet people who are kicking butt in not just one, but multiple life areas. They’re my favourite people to interview because they’ve perfected the art of peak performance, and always have so many useful insights to share about what it takes to get to the top. Today’s podcast guest, Lorna Jane, is a shining example of one of these peak performers. A business guru with an uber-successful global empire, she’s also rocking radiant health, a kickass mindset, off-the-charts self-love, a beautiful marriage (25 years and counting), and a love-filled personality to boot… It’s a seriously impressive array of achievements (and did I mention she’s a total sweetheart too?!) For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/49 The seed for Lorna’s fashion empire was first planted in 1985, when she came up with the then-radical idea that gym wear could also be worn as lifestyle clothing. She thought that if she could design pieces that were both fashionable and functi

 It seems like every week, there’s a new study released finding yet another way that stress is harming us. Whether it’s emotional, environmental, nutritional or physical, we all know that stress can have a destructive impact on our mind, body and soul (not to mention our immune system, relationships, creativity… the list goes on!) It’s easy to feel powerless when it comes to stress — I mean, it’s an unavoidable part of modern life, yeah? And we all just have to put up with it slowly poisoning us... right? Not according to today’s podcast guest, Evan Brand, who is here to teach us how to rewrite our stress response, calm our nervous system and take charge of our life. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/48 Evan is a board-certified holistic nutritionist, certified functional medicine practitioner and nutritional therapist... so you can bet your sweet tushie he knows his stuff when it comes to all things health! With his focus on addressing the underlying causes that

When someone tells you that you can reboot your metabolism and teach your body how to burn fat as your main fuel source, it’s safe to say they’d capture your attention, yeah? Well, what if they said that they could teach you how to do all that in just 21 days, and that the effects would last FOREVER? Sounds almost too good to be true, right? But today’s podcast guest, Mark Sisson — from leading Paleo blog Mark’s Daily Apple — assures us that it’s not only possible, it’s 100% achievable, and he’s here to tell us how.  For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/47 Mark is a lion in the world of Paleo and primal health. A former world-class endurance athlete, he’s become one of the leading voices of the Evolutionary Health Movement and has dedicated his life to helping others reach optimal health and performance.  With his unconventional — but extremely effective — approach to health, he has paved the way for Primal enthusiasts to challenge accepted wisdom on all aspects of d

Imagine if you knew how to confidently show up as your true, authentic self in EVERY part of your life... How liberating would that be? Instead though, many of us can lean towards covering up our true essence by putting on a mask, believing that it will make us more ‘likeable’ or help us fit in better. Today’s podcast guest, the incredible New York Times bestselling author Lewis Howes, knows all about the masks we wear. (In fact, he literally wrote the book on them!). In this episode, we’re delving deep into why we wear them, how to take them off, and why this is an essential topic to explore if you want to unlock your full potential and experience epic relationships. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/46 Lewis’s story is pretty incredible. After achieving crazy success at just 30 years of age, he found himself wearing the ultimate mask — outwardly thriving, but profoundly unfulfilled on the inside. Not happy to settle for a life half-lived, Howes set out on a pers

An orgasm during childbirth? Pffft. Yeah, right. Like most people, I rolled my eyes when I first heard about the concept of ‘ecstatic birth’. I mean, childbirth is meant to be a traumatic and painful experience, right? That’s certainly the message I got growing up, and from every Hollywood movie with a birthing scene! But today’s podcast guest, family physician Dr Sarah Buckley, has not only experienced an ecstatic birth first hand, she has done the research and has scientific proof of the hormonal physiology of labour and birth that can result in a pleasurable and ecstatic labour. Um, sign me up please! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/45 Trained in GP obstetrics, Dr Buckley has been writing and lecturing to childbirth professionals and parents since 1997, and is the author of the international best-seller Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering. Sarah is also the mother of four children, all naturally born and naturally raised, now in their teen years and beyond.  Sarah

How does a Hollywood celebrity fashion stylist become one of the most well known bio hackers on the planet? Well, today’s podcast guest Luke Storey did it by using himself as a human guinea pig to explore a broad variety of measures to obtain optimal health, performance and well-being. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/44 Luke’s journey is a fascinating one — he’s gone from styling people’s clothes to styling their lives (how cool is that?!). He has spent the past twenty-one years developing and refining what he says is the ‘ultimate’ lifestyle, based on powerful principles of health and spirituality, combined with the technology and modern conveniences of urban living. He has applied his findings to not only completely transform his own life, but also the lives of thousands of people across the globe… and after today’s powerhouse conversation, you might find yourself one of them! If you’re passionate about discovering the ultimate lifestyle for top performance, h

Imagine having access to a secret blueprint that allows you to live a life with ZERO regrets… That’s what today’s podcast guest, Bronnie Ware, has created. As a palliative care worker, she sat next to hundreds of terminally ill people at one of the most critical junctures of their lives: while they transitioned out of their earth suit. She paid attention to their final stories and dying wishes, suspecting that there’d be powerful wisdom hidden within… and Holy Shakti, she was not wrong! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/43 Bronnie began noticing that these departing souls all seemed to have the same few regrets. She compiled this wisdom into a potent book — The Top Five Regrets of the Dying — so that all of us could learn from these lessons, and transform our own lives. Now an international bestseller, Bronnie’s words and wisdom have changed lives across the globe... And after today’s podcast, you might just be one of them. If you want to consciously create a life

Carrie-Anne Moss shot to global stardom as Trinity in the global box office smash hit, The Matrix trilogy. But this heart-centered, humble woman has not let fame and success change her. As well as being a mega Hollywood actress, she is also a mama, wife, a voice for women, and an incredible spiritual teacher. (How’s that for multi talented?!) For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/42 When I first read Carrie-Anne’s teachings and musings — over on her gorgeous website, Annapurna Living — I knew I HAD to have her on the show. Anyone who can stay as calm, centred, and conscious as she is, while still kicking butt in the crazy world of Hollywood, clearly has some potent wisdom up her sleeve.  If you’re craving some powerful inspo — particularly on how to experience remarkable freedom while living a life of success, satisfaction and nourishment — you won’t want to miss this powerful conversation. In this episode we chat about:  Carrie-Anne’s discovery of her spiritual path

What are essential oils? How do they interact with our bodies? What are the practical ways we can integrate them into our lives for optimal wellness? Today, more than ever, we are hearing more and more about essential oils and just how magical these powerful gifts from the earth are. Despite them being in the spotlight however, it’s not every day that you come across someone in the public health sphere who’s an essential oils guru, but the wildly popular Dr Eric Zielinski specializes in the therapeutic use of essential oils, so I knew I had to have him on the show! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/41 Achieving true health is not an easy task. For many people, it might be easier to pop a pill or push aside lingering discomfort in favor of finishing everything on your to-do list. But Dr Z (as he is commonly known) says there is a different way and is passionate about showing people how to make their health a priority with Mother Nature's medicine. Essential oils ca

You know when you first fall in love, and you experience the honeymoon stage? You’re so loved up, present and totally in flow. Life feels great. Epic, actually! Then it slowly starts to fade away and life goes back to normal. That’s what we are lead to believe is suppose to happen, right?! Well today’s guest Dr Bruce Lipton says no way! We can actually experience the honeymoon effect as part of our everyday reality. In fact, we can live in that state of bliss constantly... Sounds good to me! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/40 Dr Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized leader in bringing science and spirit together. He is a stem cell biologist, the global smash hit bestselling author of The Biology Of Belief and The Honeymoon Effect, plus he just happens to be a super powerful speaker. If you want to experience the ‘honeymoon effect’ every single day and create heaven here on earth, then you’re going to LOVE today’s episode.  In this episode we chat about: 

Imagine trying to operate complex machinery without an instruction manual… sounds crazy, but that’s exactly what most of us are doing in our relationships! After all, it’s not like we’re taught ‘Relationship 101’ in school. Instead, we’re left to figure it out for ourselves and if you’re anything like me, you fumble, because I (and maybe you too?) never really understood the basic principle that our relationships are our teachers. Relationships serve a divine purpose, and are the most amazing opportunity for growth.  For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/39 Today’s podcasts guests, Chris and Lori Harder, are great examples of what growth in a relationship can look like.  After over a decade together, Chris and Lori live and work under the one roof (which to me, is a mighty feat in itself). And not only do they do it well, they do it with crazy amounts of love, respect and compassion. So, if you want to learn how to run not one, but TWO multi-million dollar brands, AND

Hippocrates famously once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Never before has been more relevant than today, especially when it comes to combatting inflammation in the body and common autoimmune issues. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/38 It’s not everyday you meet someone who has healed herself from being wheelchair bound with secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and done so mainly via the foods she eats. But today’s guest, Dr Terry Wahls, is that person and her story is now well known around the world. Dr. Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions.
