The Melissa Ambrosini Show

What would you do if you met someone who had been through huge adversity; from a broken back, to terminal cancer, through to addiction, traumatic stress and depression... but managed to come out the other side with a tonne of grace and wisdom? I can tell you what I’d do: ask as many questions (and soak up as many lessons) as possible. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/17 Bhava’s story is incredible. He went from being a front-line journalist and war correspondent for NBC (winning the Alfred I. duPont award for his work, which is like winning the Pulitzer Prize)… to hitting rock bottom, with overwhelming health issues… through to becoming a head-standing yogi with a brand new outlook on life. This is a man who has truly been through it all and come out the other end to serve. I was introduced to Bhava by my husband and have been forever changed! He has impacted both our lives in a profound way (and in fact, the work that he did with Nick before we got together real

Those of you who’ve read Mastering Your Mean Girl, you’ll know that in 2010 I hit rock bottom, and ended up in hospital very unwell and unhappy. I felt really lost and had no idea what I was going to do with my life. What I did know, however, was that I needed to get healthy and happy again. So I signed up for IIN (the Institute for Integrative Nutrition), not really knowing what to expect... and I’ve never looked back. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/16 IIN changed my life, which is why I am SO excited to be chatting with its founder, Joshua Rosenthal, in today's episode. Now, when I say that it changed my life, I mean it! Literally! It helped me launch my dream career and turn it into a profitable business that supports me and my family, it helped me heal and get healthy, and it helped me achieve a level of happiness I didn’t know existed. I also met some of the most amazing soul sisters from all over the world, who have become some of my besties... It also ga

This is a very special and intimate episode for me, with my most frequently requested guest… my husband. There aren’t many musicians who can create music that moves you on a deep spiritual level, cracks you wide open, and is chart-toppingly epic at the same time... But Nick Broadhurst does exactly that! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/15 Also known as BROADHURST, not only is this man an incredible musician, he’s also an amazing husband, father and entrepreneur who has so many genius insights into getting the most out of life. Paying close attention to what he has to say is, in many ways, like a shortcut for your own personal growth. Nick has been on a fascinating journey: from being a founding member in the pop sensation Sneaky Sound System, then becoming Australia’s top real estate agent, to  being bedridden for three years with Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and now finally living out his true passion as a popular musician. And today,

Nat’s approach to wellness is fascinating. After recognising the large gap between conventional medicine and holistic health — in particular when it comes to fertility — she set about creating her own unique treatment style. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/14 A fusion of western medicine, alternative therapies, Chinese medicine and natural fertility techniques, Nat’s methods have helped thousands of women stay vital, feel sexy, and fall pregnant. BUT, in case you think ‘fertility’ isn’t a topic for you, let me point out: for Nat, fertility is about so much more than just baby-making. This is about rocking your hormones, increasing your energy levels, and being the best version of you, as well as consciously taking control of your reproductive health. There’s no holds barred in this episode. We chat pregnancy, the pill, periods, PMS, PCOS, fertility, infertility, thyroid, gut health, contraception, stress and so much more… you are not going to want to miss this e

There are a few people who have had a huge impact on the way I eat and one of those people is today’s podcast guest, Donna Gates. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/13 As an expert in Body Ecology, this remarkable woman has dedicated her life to helping people heal their bodies and experience vibrant health. Her approach to nutrition is insanely powerful, and I especially love her strong focus on bio-individuality and treating each body as unique. In this episode we dive deep — delving into everything from SIBO, to candida, to genes, to your gut microbiome and more. In her signature myth-busting style, Donna debunks these (sometimes scary) terms and uncovers how you can experience radiant wellness the Body Ecology way.   If you want to get your guts in order, watch your health skyrocket and increase your energy levels, this is a must-listen conversation! In this episode we chat about: The Body Ecology lifestyle, and why it’s such a healthful way to live and eat (0

It’s not often you meet a super conscious, smart, switched on, handsome, surfer dude that knows a thing of two about building a global tribe, but James Colquhoun is that man!

(16:34) How he built his global tribe of loyal fans (21:41) How he got his first million subscribers

Is it really possible to create a business and life you flat-out LOVE? Today’s guest, Marie Forleo says hell yes! And after intentionally creating a crazy-successful business and life of her own, it’s safe to say this is one woman who truly walks her talk.For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/11I first discovered Marie back in 2011, when I did her online business program, B-School. It was a life-changing experience, and it gave me the courage (and tools) to follow my passion and create my own business. I have gone through B-School every year since — not only because I love it, but because it never fails to trigger a new wave of growth and abundance, both in my business and myself.Marie’s incredible achievements have been recognised far and wide — Oprah named her a thought leader for the next generation, and Inc included her on their annual list of the 500 fastest growing companies. But I love her most for her heart-centred wisdom and her commitment to giving back

Your body was wired for an ancient world. So how on earth are we meant to thrive in this modern era? Today’s podcast guest, Daniel Vitalis, says it’s about awakening our instincts, and freeing our bodies –– and minds –– from the degenerative effects of domestication… which is exactly what we dive deep into in this episode. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/10 Daniel is my go-to health expert, and has been for many years. He is incredibly knowledgeable on ancestral health and lifestyle design, and a wealth of wisdom when it come to human health, personal development, and strategic living. Not only that, he is also one of the most genuine, authentic, nicest and loving human beings I have ever come across… a true gem in the online world! His message of re-wilding your life and spirit has the power to literally transform the way you live and feel each day, so I know you’re going to find this episode as jaw-dropping and inspiring as I did. Get ready for your mind to be

It’s not often you meet a man who is a women's sexuality coach. But after witnessing a rape scene at a young age, Eyal vowed to never treat women as anything less than the divine goddesses they truly are. For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/9 Some women can hold a lot of past pain, trauma, fear and anger in their sex chakra, so that’s where a lot of Eyal’s work is centred: helping women release that negative energy so they can unleash their full potential and step into the true power. In case you think this kind of work is only relevant to the boudoir, think again! As Eyal so eloquently points out, it’s actually the key to expressing your highest gifts, unleashing your creativity, helping more people and making more money. Not only is Eyal a sexual empowerment coach, he is also an international speaker and author of Orgasm Unleashed —Your guide to pleasure, healing and power. If you want to step into your true feminine power, this episode is a must listen. In this ep

This episode should come with a warning — CAUTION: May ignite burning passion within your soul! Today’s guest is none other than Danielle LaPorte — bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, pioneer in the self-help sphere, and all-round goddess. For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/8 Danielle is one of the most deeply thoughtful and wise women I’ve ever met. Her knack of honing in on the truth behind an issue often leaves me breathless when I’m reading her writing, and she drops just as much magic in this episode. (Trust me, this is one episode you’ll want to relisten to again and again.) Though Danielle is well known for her insights on living with desire, she’s never opened up so much on the topic of conscious sex and sexual energy as she does in this conversation. So buckle up for a soul expanding ride! In this interview we chat about: How sex ties into being successful and why it’s essential to understand this primal part of ourselves (08:28) The relationship be

Sweet tooth sabotaging your wellness efforts? Never fear. Today’s podcast guest is Crosby Tailor (a.k.a. the ‘Cookie Genius’) and his sugar-free, guilt-free approach to nutrition will blow your mind — while making you seriously salivate! For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/7 Like many of us, Crosby began his path to wellness after experiencing some personal health issues. Feeling lost, he turned to Chinese Tonic Herbalism and holistic nutrition for answers... And answers he found! (Not to mention a whole new career — and life — as a celebrity health coach, model, and leading biohacker!) There aren’t a lot of people I’ve come across that I can totally geek out with, and who are as knowledgeable on health, wellness and biohacking as Crosby. His philosophy is refreshing, his recipes are insane (I dare you to scroll his Instagram account without drooling), and he’s an all-around epic human. This is one conversation you won’t want to miss! In this episode we chat about:

The secret to extreme health lies in your gut... So says today’s podcast guest, Kirsty Wirth from Kultured Wellness — and with good reason. Kirsty’s story is fascinating. Her young son used to be autistic, non-verbal and unresponsive. But after she implemented an intense healing regime for his gut, the little guy is now thriving, robust, and healthier than ever. (For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/5) Sounds crazy, right? But the link between our guts and our brains is now well known by scientists — even if mainstream nutrition has not yet caught up. Which is exactly why Kirsty is on a mission to revolutionise our health by sharing her secrets with the people who need it most. If you’re already on the gut health bandwagon, let me assure you: Kirsty takes things seriously next level.

For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/3 I have a personal connection to John and his work. A few years back I was really struggling with a particular relationship in my life. I was so angry and couldn't see how I was ever going to be able to move through it. I’d interviewed John for my blog, and he invited me to come to his Breakthrough Experience. I walked in on the Saturday morning, angry and upset towards this person in my life. By Sunday evening, I walked out feeling nothing but love and gratitude toward that same person — after years of feeling anger and resentment. The speed with which he can help people transform is mindblowing, an

What could a Hollywood starlet possibly teach us about living a mindful, meditative life? Turns out, a lot!
