You are in for a treat In this episode of the Wholeness Podcast!   Melissa gives you the full rundown on sugar, things you may know and many you will be shocked to learn, such as where it’s hidden, what you are actually eating when you order in or eat out, how sugar is used and stored in the body and how much we as women can actually digest in a given day only 36 grams, that’s a medium size apple (clearly not very much and the rest is stored as fat).   Melissa really wanted to do this episode to educate her listeners on the truth about sugar and how even too much “healthy” sugar can become unhealthy and wreak havoc on the body.   She begins by discussing the importance of knowing what you put into your body. Successful weight loss doesn’t come from a crazy cleanse or fad diet. It’s the result of being in tune with what you eat, while allowing your body to do what it’s created to do, which is heal, eliminate and detoxify on it’s own.     Our body is set-up to naturally detoxify itself and eliminate waste. If you consume food in its natural state and through making your own meals, you can identify what doesn’t feel good and make a change, versus consuming foods in restaurants or in bags and boxes filled with chemicals.   An overconsumption of sugar can lead to many different problems, including adult acne, autoimmune disease, bloating, brain fog and fatigue.    Unfortunately, sugar is present in more foods than we think, and the FDA and many giant well-known companies such as Nabisco and Kraft intentionally add larger quantities of sugar disguised behind varying ingredient terms to increase addiction and drive sales, with Marketing terms such as “all-natural”, “whole grains” or “zero sugar” to bait the consumer.    Restaurants often use sugar in ways that are not listed on their menus adding it in and on top of foods that Melissa discusses in detail in today’s episode.     Sadly, many women think they’re being healthy and choosing “healthy” options for their families, when they’re not - not at a fault of them, but again marketing and food companies.    An example, when it comes to weight loss, a sauce or spice added to a dish can easily be a sugar-trap, which becomes a high calorie item quickly.  Melissa gives many specific examples in today’s episode.   Even ‘healthy’ foods such as protein bars can be high in sugar and carbs such as Lara Bars. While each person has a different level of calorie expenditure based on their daily calorie expenditure and size, it’s easy to think that a healthy diet and exercise are enough.    However, when we don’t listen to our bodies, we fall into the ‘dieter’s false mindset’ around our exercise and the actual amount of calories we’ve burned, often leaving women to overindulge and be frustrated at their lack of weight loss results.    Be aware of your body, and make food choices based off of the benefits you receive nutritionally, not just your desire. Start your day with a high-protein diet as opposed to cereal, sugar-filled juices or coffee drinks, bagels or pastries, and you will begin to feel better and find success. What You’ll Learn How to listen to what your body is telling you about food. Why clean eating is essential to making a positive change and understanding what foods are hurting you or healing you. The danger that sugar presents to both your physical and mental health. How restaurants and manufacturers use FDA-approved ‘hidden’ sugars to increase addictive qualities. Why the ‘dieter’s false mindset’ leads to overconsumption, not weight loss or optimal health.

Melissa talks about the concept of the “power of intention,” and its ability to help you be a co-creator of your day and therefore your life. This is extremely empowering, especially during a time of such uncertainty.   She goes in-depth helping her listeners to understand the concept Melissa teaches about how we all wear masks, different persona’s of ourselves we’ve intuitively created throughout our lives to support ourselves in varying life situations.     However, as we age, some masks no longer support us because we realize we are hiding our true selves and our desires.  Over time, we can stop expressing our opinions, blocking our emotions and in many cases our dreams and desires, settling for a life, body and relationships that are not what our hearts have really longed for nor what our soul has called us to experience in this life.   These “masks” you’ve developed to help you cope with life, actually end up hurting you, and it can be confusing as you realize you built a life that is not what you really wanted or you’ve been struggling with your weight, career, money or relationships, because you’ve been afraid to be yourself and aren’t even clear on who that woman might be. Most of all the fear of not being accepted if you are true to yourself.   This is where being intentional, allows you to embrace your dreams and allow them to manifest through setting your daily desires in the intention setting practice Melissa shares in today’s episode.   Melissa explains that there is a serious distinction between setting intentions (desires for outcomes) and making to-do lists. Intentionality can fuel all the desires you have, including making healthier eating choices, sleeping more soundly, and being more present in the day.   Brief Outline: Intentionality defined. “Masks,” or ways we learn to cope with the problems of life What if you prepared your meals ahead of time? What’s on your plate? (And who put it there?) Let go of control. Invite in your highest sense of self to be present; remember you are a divine being. The power of intention explained. Get a journal specifically for keeping track of your intention. The pieces of you that try to sabotage yourself are under your control. What You’ll Learn: — Difference between intention and a to-do list. — You’re in control of what you put on your plate. — You can delegate responsibility to release some control. — Intentionality comes from a desire to do something. — To-do lists come more from a “must do” sense. — Your food behavior at bedtime is going to influence the next day. — How to log your intentions into an intention journal. — You can program your subconscious mind to influence the direction for the day.   Key Quotes:   “We don’t need to be at the mercy of everyone.”   “I invite the universe to send miracles my way.” “Life isn’t happening to us, it happens for us.” Links:   Join Melissa’s 1-Day Virtual Event, Align To Your Ideal Body: Elevate To Experience Effortless Weight Loss With Ease!

Bryce Laspisa was having problems.  What sort of problems, he wouldn't say.  But at the end of August 2013 it was pretty clear to his friends - and his girlfriend - up in the far-Northern California town of Chico, where Bryce was attending a local community college, that something was not right.  The young redhead had started giving some of his prized possessions away.  He told his mother - who lived 500 miles away in Southern California, that he had some big problems that he needed to talk to her about...but he wouldn't go any farther than that.  So his mom  told Bryce to get in his SUV and drive home so they could figure out how to solve Bryce's problems.  Hence begins one of the strangest, most disturbing road drip ever documented - and it was, in fact, documented - right up until the part of the story where Bryce Laspisa's traile disappeared into the warm early morning California air.  Join Melissa as she traces the bizarre trek of a confused and likely deeply disturbed young man on a deeply disturbing rod trip into oblivion - where his actions can't be explained but only guessed at and where his journey ends with a crash off a cliff and a trail back to a truck stop - and then - nothing.

Join Melissa and Jenn as we discuss true crime stories of long adulterous walks and creepy internet talks...that lead to murder. 

Season 3 open with the story of Joe Bryan, a high school principal who lived with the love of his life - his wife Mickey, an elementary school teacher - in (seemingly) idyllic Clifton Texas.  The Bryans were known not only as pillars of their community, but truly good people who cared about their young charges and even spent their own money to buy clothing and lunches for those most in need.  Everyone in town knew them to be God-fearing and deeply in love with each other.  And then the unthinkable happened.  Over and over again.  It started in 1985 when Mickey was shot to death in the master bedroom of the Bryant home while Joe was away on a business trip 120 miles away.  It got worse when Joe became a suspect in Mickey's murder and was arrested.  And it got unbearably awful when the reasoning was revealed for the Texas Rangers' and other law enforcement officials' suspicions - reasoning beyond belief even in the mid-1980s.  Join Melissa as she unfolds this sad and anger-inducing tale of a murder conviction based on completely flimsy circumstantial evidence and a whole lot of bigoted assumptions.

In 1970 and 1971, the bodies of six girls and young women were tossed onto the side of various freeways in the Washington DC metropolitan area.  Most had been sexually assaulted and then strangled - none were over the age of 18.  Like so many serial killers, the so-called "Freeway Phantom" not only tortured his victims before slaying them - he also taunted police, and worst of all, the families of his victims with phone calls - some from him and some from the girls themselves before he killed them.  But it was what made this monster's atrocities so unlike most other serial murderers that made them so striking:  Most of his victims were almost always found within hours of their abduction.  And most chilling of all - after his sixth murder, they simply stopped.  He vanished.  Or did he?  Nearly fifty years later, the mystery remains - is he still alive?  Is he dead?  Did something inside his warped mind simply switch off the desire to rape and murder?  Join Melissa as she digs in to this fascinating case and asks - as she always asks - does someone out there know something that will finally solve this puzzling puzzle?

Join Melissa, Adrienne and Abby as they wish Dorothy Zhender a Happy Birthday!  That is 98 years young for our Frankenmuth matriarch.  She still works 3 to 4 days a week at the Bavarian Inn and loves meeting patrons eating there.  Also special guest from the Mark Ridley Comedy Castle Podcast, Tom McCarthy.  And....a special Greta Van Fleet announcement!

Scott Cox is a monster - the question is, how big of a monster - and can the immensity of his monstrosity be proven?  Convicted of the rape and murder of two women in 1990 and 1991, Cox - a trucker who frequented the two major interstates in and around his home town of Seattle - is the ONLY suspect in an additional 20 homicides up, down and across the I-5 and I-90 corridors, some as far north as Canada - cases that are still so active even after more than a quarter-century that law enforcement won't even release the names of all of the victims.  Why?  Because the police want to arrest Cox and put him back in prison...that's right, he's been on modified probation since 2013 on a "post prison supervised life sentence," which is a lot of words meaning he's free during the day but must sleep in prison at night.  Some life sentence, eh?  Join Melissa for a frustrating story of justice gone sideways - and another reason to always keep our eyes open and our minds aware to report any information we might have to  bring creatures like Scott Cox to the justice they deserve.

When you kill someone and you're sentenced to prison "for the rest of your natural life," without the possibility of parole, you're done.  Finished.  Kaput.  No more freedom for you, ever.  Right?  Right.  Except.  What does the "your natural life" mean, exactly?  Especially when we live in an age where technology can actually revive someone who has literally died for a few seconds?  And how does that phrase apply in the ostensibly cold, harsh light of legal interpretation?  Enter one Benjamin Schreiber, a nasty fellow who was convicted of a brutal murder and was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail - but who is currently placing himself in the middle of a legal battle that could possibly alter how "life" sentences are doled out in the future.  Join Melissa as she unravels the facts behind this case, and Schreiber's bold legal ploy to break free of his jail cell - by dying.  More than once.  SUBSCRIBE, RATE and REVIEW "JUST THE TIP-STERS" today!  And if you like what you hear, give us a five-star review!  Plus - don't forget - if you've got a tip for Melissa, leave her a voice mail message at (832) TIP-STER (832-847-7837) or send her an email at jttipsters@gmail.com
