Are you trying to access your inner world, but it seems like you just can’t find a door? It might be time to tune into SIGNAL with Mory & Melissa, the podcast that raises your frequency.

Together, they tackle the limiting beliefs that stop us from hearing our intuition. On the pod, everything from children’s books to parasocial relationships is a clue in unlocking a part of our weird and wonderful selves. Come for the intuitive wisdom, and stay for the Tracy Chapman sing-a-longs.
People Pleasing: Why we put the happiness of others before our own
Wanting to please others can be a normal part of life, but when does it turn into appeasing others at your own expense? This week, Mory and Melissa return to personal growth by taking a long, hard look at people pleasing. We celebrate compassion as a culture, we speak highly of empathy, and we adore sacrifice - but we usually don’t talk about the times we care for others out of a need to feel safe or valuable. Fawning is just as much a trauma response as ‘fight or flight,’ and like all trauma responses, fawning should be honored and understood for what it is: our imperfect and natural capacity to process difficulty. Tune in for some serious (and not so serious) stories from the front lines of people pleasing, clarity on reconnecting to your own desire, and a convincing argument for why you should get a bean of your own.To submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Signal on insta: https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissaFollow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

For our third installment of haunted programming, Mory and Melissa share unsolved mysteries they’ve personally picked for your skin-crawling pleasure.

When the Stars Align with Dr. Jennifer Freed
This week, Mory and Melissa sit down with renowned psychological astrologer, social-emotional healer, and best-selling author Dr. Jennifer Freed for a discussion on all things astrology: how does one read a chart?

High School: How Your Teenage Years Inform Who You Are Now
High school is enormously challenging - we attempt to find ourselves in a world projecting a million expectations. Understandably, our teenage past influences our adult present, but in what ways? This week, Mory & Melissa go back to school, and they’ve got a three-part syllabus. First, why does popularity become such a big deal at fourteen? Second, why do we talk about teenage rebellion so dismissively and how can we raise our compassion for it? Third, why do we experience so many of our peers “peaking” in high school? Tune in for nostalgia about lunch period, a debate about the best high school movie (it’s Clueless), and a heavy dose of empathy for teenagers - and parents - just trying to connect with their own inner truths."Juvenoia" by Vsauce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0x7ho_IYcTo submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

The Witching Hour: The Magic of Rhea Sylveggio

The team gets into some seriously spiritual content— either spooky or incredible, depending on how you see it. Flying Easter baskets and divine energies are involved. Rhea demonstrates her abilities by doing an eerily accurate tarot reading for our producer, Anushree.

Etiquette: Are Your Table Manners a Good Custom or a Legacy of Oppression?
You’ve heard it before: “Don’t stare at strangers!” “Don’t play with your food!” “Chew with your mouth closed!” A lot of the norms we’re taught at a young age establish common courtesy, but who exactly decides those norms? And what causes us not to trust others to know what’s best for themselves? This week, Mory and Melissa take a close look at the balance sheet of etiquette: both the social good it’s connected to and its role in maintaining hierarchy. They discuss two articles by David Brooks and Michael Waters (linked below) that decry the moral decline of our society. How much of that “moral decline” is true? And is the best way of addressing that decline really to dictate rules from the top-down? Tune in for a letter from the Earl of Chesterfield, impassioned monologues, and a lot of bad manners."The Decline of Etiquette and the Rise of Boundaries,” by Michael Waters: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2022/11/people-oversharing-tmi-friendship-boundaries/671970/“How America Got Mean,” by David Brooks: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/09/us-culture-moral-education-formation/674765/To submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6IG: https://www.instagram.com/signalwithmoryandmelissa/Mory's IG: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@SignalWithMoryandMelissa

Spill the Tea: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Gossip
Gossip: we love it, we hate it, we do it all the time, but why? This week, Mory and Melissa unpack humanity’s oldest custom: talking sh*t about other people. From the neanderthals to the Bridgertons, gossip has served as a social bond that stitches communities together, but its negative consequences are the stuff of nightmares (who isn’t terrified of their dirty laundry getting aired out?). The industry of celebrity gossip, as benign as it may feel for everyday consumers, has also created moral panics out of thin air and ruined whole careers on pure conjecture. What does gossip mean in the context of your journey towards a higher self? Spoiler: we only gossip when we have a hard time being frank with others and ourselves. Tune in to this week’s shenanigans for drunk history lessons, cogent advice, and - of course - delectable tea.To submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

Craving Change: Intuiting a Different Life for Yourself and How to Make It Happen
So many of us crave change, but how exactly do we go about changing our lives? This week, Mory and Melissa get serious about change - how it works, how to advocate for it, and how to reflect upon it. It should go without saying that all the circumstances of life offer opportunities for growth, even when we’re facing change that we can’t control. But, how exactly do we identify change that aligns with our higher selves? When do we end up romanticizing some types of change to the point that we stop looking for alternative solutions? Tune in for this and more: Mory recounts her own life changes, Melissa talks through impending changes in her role as a mother, and we all find out that the producers are delusional.Check out Mory’s workbook: https://www.moryfontanez.com/workbook-storeTo submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

Once Upon a Time: Our Favorite Children’s Books and the Beliefs They Instilled
So many of our limiting beliefs come from our childhoods, when we adapt ourselves to a world that doesn’t entirely accept us for who we are. What role do children’s books play in teaching kids how to behave and who to be? This week, Mory and Melissa take a deep dive into the history of fairytales, discuss iconic kid’s stories, and even read two of their favorite books to each other. This episode features Berenstain Bears-induced nostalgia, a rundown on the skeletons in Dr. Seuss’s closet, and even a perfect impression of Mory’s mother by Mory’s daughter.

Traditional therapeutics often overlook the value of alternative systems, but practitioners like Suzanne are demonstrating that spiritual methods can offer a lot for clinical practice: the science is finally catching up on intuition.

Who is Your Higher Self?: Reviewing Key Concepts
Over the past several weeks, we’ve used a lot of key terms without offering any explicit definitions. What does “intuitive wisdom” feel like? Where do I get a “limiting belief” from? And most important of all, what is my “higher self,” and how can we access it? This week, Melissa interviews Mory on her philosophy, the origins of her terminology, and the way these ideas manifest in everyday life.

The gang is back from a transformative trip to Nashville to talk about parasocial behavior: the one-sided relationships we cultivate with influencers, politicians, and celebrities. We love to feel like we have private access to iconic personas, but how does that very feeling create unhealthy dependencies? How does idolization prevent us from identifying our truth? And what do we do when our personal GOATs get cancelled? This episode, Mory breaks down the dangers of unwavering loyalty to Taylor Swift, Melissa processes Michael Jackson’s dark past, and the two find a way of turning the podcast into a drinking game.

There are studies showing that we take on the burden of trauma from at least 3 past generations of our family. Add that to the habits of fearful thinking that we develop from childhood, and the sum is an incredible amount of white noise that blocks our ability to listen deeply to our signal. This week, in our final episode of season one, Mory is going all in on cutting through that noise and being bold about confronting trauma in all its forms. Buckle up for an emotional episode about how we can use intuition to deal with trauma associated with things like immigration, feelings of exclusion, and the ever-powerful belief that we might be letting down our loved ones.

Leaning Into Intuition as a Writer with Author, Cyrus Dunham
How do we overcome the daunting task of breaking through the white noise so we can listen to our signal? That’s a question that Mory and her special guest today, brilliant author and creative mind, Cyrus Dunham, attempt to keep answering nearly every week in their coaching sessions...and now you get the chance to tune in! Cyrus will highlight the importance of finding serenity in nature to tap into their signal, and why they believe that writing is their most powerful tool in the ongoing struggle of shedding limiting belief systems and stepping into alignment. As Mory continues to ask the ever-demanding question of intuition - why? - we find more and more that our past trauma and fear are what define our self-worth in the present. Cyrus and Mory’s work is an active journey to understand this fear, limit its power in our lives, and acknowledge its role in our growth towards our higher selves.Click Here to enter for a chance to get personally coached by Mory in Season 2 of Signal!

How Can Intuition Make Change Feel Less Scary?
If you’re someone who loves a routine, shies away from change, and thinks of a million reasons to avoid it, then this episode presents a daunting and much needed challenge for you! A foundational truth of Mory’s coaching is this: your higher self loves and even demands change…because it’s getting you one step closer to what you REALLY want. But, anxiety hates change! Until we can listen to our intuitive voice, we will continually dwell on external examples of failure that have no rightful place in our minds, making change more daunting than it needs to be. Tune in this week to hear Mory’s personal experience with major career and family changes, and how tuning into her signal, and teaching her clients to do the same, helps tone down anxiety and turn the volume up on the upside of change!

Is Intuition at Odds with the Workplace?
Being at work is one of the most challenging places to show up in alignment with your signal. This is because, as Mory knows all too well from her long career at top PR and Marketing agencies, corporate culture encourages conformity and too often punishes individuality. But, the truth is that the short term and shallow benefits of conformity are nothing compared to the long-term value of a company’s employees listening to their intuition and feeling free to be authentic at work (psst.. that’s actually how you create inclusivity). Keep listening to hear Mory discuss the downside of current corporate cultures, why competition for profit can too often hide our creative gifts, and the vital importance of never ignoring your signal to stay small for others…even your boss!

Can I Parent Without Projection?
Raising kids is hard enough without the constant external pressure and judgement from others. So how do you ignore all that noise and tap into your Signal as a parent? And can you help your kids be more intuitive? As Mory will explain in this episode, parenting is likely the most naturally intuitive relationship we will experience in life. The primary blocker to intuitive parenting is actually our own ego. As parents, we are constantly tempted to project our own trauma and fear onto our children and assume the same outcomes for them as we had. It’s a deterministic pattern that isn’t good for them or us. Keep listening this week to hear Mory explain some of the unique challenges of certain parenting perspectives, and how to use your inner wisdom to guide you and help your kids become fully empowered.

What Happens to My Relationships as I Evolve?
Picture this: you’ve done the work, listened to your intuition, and have tapped into the signal of your higher self. You’re feeling inspired and happier than before, so how does this transformation affect your relationships with others? Can we lead others to this journey of self-alignment? This week, Mory will give us the honest answer; focusing all our energy on tuning into our own signals and not judging others on their journeys is the most important step. Listen as Mory tells us how to do just that by reminding us: If it’s forced, we’re in danger of becoming preachers instead of teachers!

How Fear Interrupts Intuition
Every single one of us experiences fear, almost on a daily basis, so how exactly does this commonplace emotion interact with our intuition? This week, Mory gets into fear, where it starts, how we manage it with more compassion and ultimately, how if left unchecked, it can be the biggest block to our intuitive signal – leaving us stagnant and frustrated. In this episode Mory shows us how to work with fear, asking it for evidence and questioning its roots….who implanted this fear? Why am I feeling fearful and is this feeling based in fact? Answering honestly and with rigor, as Mory will explain, is one of the first steps to unlocking our intuition and moving past fear.

Welcome to Signal! In this season opener, Mory breaks down a mysterious word: intuition. Throughout history, intuition has been vilified and mistrusted, and Mory talks about how we’re still experiencing this in our culture today. Ultimately, our intuition has the power to be a cosmic radio-tower that tells us our purpose; it rings loud and clear, but the world inevitably causes static. Listen in to learn how to cut through the noise and hear your signal clearly to live your life in alignment with your purpose!
