Loneliness is something that all of us will experience at stages of our lives as we navigate heartbreak, grief, life transitions and chapters closing.

Long term loneliness cause both psychological and physical symptoms that can wreck havoc on our general well-being.  I am no stranger to loneliness and in this episode I offer 7 tips on how to survive loneliness using a holistic approach.

After a chaotic and traumatic childhood filled with pain, abuse and addiction I am now on a journey of self - discovery and self-healing! Join me Mel Jay an Anthropologist in my raw and unfiltered expression exploring thought provoking topics around holistic health, wellness and trauma that will empower and inspire you on your own healing journey.

I completed my degree in 2022 with a double major in both Psychology and Social Anthropology, my research interests are those exploring mental health, rehabilitation and trauma using holistic and natural approaches.

I have been on a sober, holistic and plant based wellness journey since 2016 when I began to look for alternative options to manage my PTSD and chronic anxiety symptoms, my life changed forever.

My purpose in life now is to help guide others on their own healing journeys using an holistic approach where we incorporate your mind, body and soul.

During my hiatus from recording podcasts I had a realisation that all my successes, over achieving - it was my inner child leading the show as she was trying to find her value in this world, seeking external validation because her parents had been so absent deep down she (me) never felt good enough, so I entered this vicious cycle of doing, doing, doing in an attempt to feel good enough.

In this episode I hash out my raw and confronting navigation of this, something I'm still chipping away at, I also share my latest offerings that will launching next year.

Thanks so much for tuning in I hope I can be here regularly again, but you know life at the moment with three small children its been a lot!

My website is currently having a makeover so if you'd like to connect with me outside of this podcast over on insta @hausofmeljay is the best way.

Welcome to my Haus …

Step through this portal and join me, Mel Jay as I explore thought provoking topics to empower your self healing journey.

I have a successful lash business that is currently fully booked almost 4-5 weeks in advance . . . but it wasn't always like this!

My first ever episode about navigating my lash business and the behind the scenes of my mental health was so popular that I decided to take you guys down a trip down memory lane, to the very beginning of when I started my business but the things that no-one ever saw!

I discuss how it began, quitting jobs and diving into my vision with no clients, no equipment and no money.

So many times I've wanted to quit that no-one knew about, moments when I was back at square one, in debt and almost being taken to court for a broken salon lease.

I've had to crawl my way out of the trenches time and time again whilst navigating a lack of confidence, low self-worth and unable to see or feel success because my inner child was seeking validation that was never attainable.

This episode is raw, emotional, many cliff hangers, so many aha moments. I share the unfluffed version of my entrepreneurial journey, I hope it inspires and empowers you.

If I can do it baby so can you!

Thanks so much for tuning in, you can catch me every Sunday!

Welcome to my Haus …

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion around trauma and abuse.

In this weeks episode  we're on a wee exploration with the inner child, we explore why the childhood is so open to imprints, where this could show up in our current limiting beliefs and I show you a practice to consciously begin to connect with your inner child consciously and subconsciously to bring more compassion and awareness.

In this episode I do discuss my a little of my own journey with my inner child and it may contain triggers as I discuss my journey navigating motherhood as a survivor of sexual abuse and how at times and moments through this journey my inner child is triggered and I consciously bring compassion and awareness to these.

Please tread intentionally and consciously through this topic and use discernment if this the right time for you to consume.

Thanks so much for tuning in, you can catch me every Sunday!

Hi Soulies!

Welcome to my Haus …

Step through this portal and join me, Mel Jay as I explore thought provoking topics to empower your self healing journey.

This week I'm triggered AF guys!

I share my musings on wild feminine, my confusion around it and tracing my disconnection to femininity due to my traumatic childhood.

There's so many words thrown around the spiritual community, that when facing your trauma it can make you feel like an outside . . . or maybe its just me that feels that way!

I discuss my theory on how our nervous system and primal survival instincts triggered by trauma could be blocking our connection to our own feminine energy as a subconscious way to protect ourselves.

I feel like I'm back in the fog, navigating my way back to my feminine energy whilst just coming out of the trenches (fourth trimester), a busy schedule and my uncomfortability with space.

Please note this episode may contain triggers as sexual abuse is discussed, please use discernment when listening.

Thanks so much for tuning in, you can catch me every Sunday!

Hi Soulies!

I couldn't help myself but to give you guys another wee taste tester!

Welcome to my Haus …

Step through this portal and join me, Mel Jay as I explore thought provoking topics to empower your self healing journey.

On episode 2 I am joined by the amazing Lytoyah Lee, a coach who refuses to be niched!

Lytoyah is here to activate you from embodied life lessons!

We dive into her past, in a full access tour, she shares moments when she was in addiction, broke and almost homeless with 4 children who depended on her, it was at this very rock bottom that the universe lit a new path for her, and she manifested her way out of this and into a home.

From here she became activated and their was no turning back and now she lives a completely different life from the one she had known, her passion now is to activate and empower others to manifest their desires, nothing is off the table with Lytoyah who knows from first hand experience what mindset and manifestation can do.

Thanks so much for tuning in to my first ever interview, I hope you enjoyed this conversation. You can catch me every Sunday from July 3rd at 6pm!

I do apologise for the quality of audio at times in this episode, this was recorded remotely via zoom but allow the magik to sink in.
