S4E12 Diving to the Depths with Priestess Melanie Monaco

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of Metamorphosis, Growth and Evolution

Melanie is a mentor and priestess passionate about helping people cultivate self-love through a blend of wellness, spiritual, and psychological practices. She trains and certifies Self-Love Coaches, facilitates Ritual Facilitator and Spiritual Leader Initiations, and offers transformative programs, retreats, and workshops.
She founded The Self-Love Lifestyle, integrating her extensive training in both spiritual healing and personal transformation. She has a background in archetypal psychology, energy healing, yoga and movement, intuitive eating and holistic nutrition, and a family lineage of ceremony and ritual facilitation.
This episode was such a deep joy to record, and we chat about:

• Melanie's connection to theatre, and how this "slipping into other people's skins" as an actor helped her to process emotions she was otherwise unable to access due to earlier trauma
• how this naturally led to the study of archetypal psychology and led her to training under the tutelage of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, American writer and Jungian psychoanalyst and author of Women Who Run With Wolves
• how early eating disorders and body dysmorphia unfolded into leading the Self Love Lifestyle, and how rituals and spiritual practices have woven into this work
• Melanie's Native American ancestry and European pagan roots, and how they have interwoven into an early spiritual connection and unfolded into her evolution to priestess
• why we can be triggered when first hearing people claiming the title priestess and an explanation of where that resistance and fear originates
• the culmination of all the psychology, somatic and energetic modalities & spiritual practises that Melanie has trained in and embodies have culminated into an alchemical coaching methodology called The Sacred Method
