  • Amir says:

    So good to get to know you better!

  • Hai Melissa, when I am honest the idea listening ,1,5 hour was a bit long for me, but it was worth it ;-). Thanks for your openness and honesty on many recognizable items.
    As a re-starting artist (not a lawyer;-)the -ofcourse!!asking money for the energy-work you do (I did it often in my career;painting walls and releasing old energies automatically..)is encouraging and might be an interesting extra item for the website I am building;-).. (2 more weeks?)But the most important part for me where the last 5minutes. This truth spoken, to lay your destiny, the intention of all you do in the hands of the Spirit(s) that lead you, to surrender completely to what comes is THE key I feel I just needed NOW.!
    So THANKS !Also for your work, this course!! Warm greetings,
    Corine van der Werf

  • OMGoodness! I absolutely loved this podcast! I have followed Joan since before her book was published and was so excited to see her on this podcast!!! I LOVE her book and those stories, plus her posts swirl around my memory whenever certain”names” are dropped!
    But Melissa, I have only recently been introduced to. I am heading straight for her website to sign up for everything she has to offer! Catholism, spirits, fashion, Hollywood, law, Paris….who could ask for more!? You girls should do a show together!!!And I’ll never forget the ecstatic birth!!!
