Welcome back to Open At the Top!

I’m your happy host Melanie McCulley. This podcast is an extension of my ongoing quest for my own liberation and freedom. In these first few solo-casts I share my unedited stories with the intention of inspiring you and guiding you into becoming the unique, beautiful version of you that you were always meant to be. 

In this solo-cast episode, I Pooped Today, I share my experiences of always being the “sick kid” as a child with massive immune issues, unmedicated ADHD, food sensitivities, digestive problems and all the ‘crap’ that came along with it. (pun totally intended) In the end, as always, there were gifts to be discovered in all the seeming chaos. 

And yes, I will be talking about poop. Sorry, not sorry.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

How I was a very sick baby with lots of ongoing illnesses, hospital visits and behavioral issues.

With a big health scare at the age of 11, that’s when everything had to change.

The common, everyday, not-weird question I heard from my family members for years: “Has Melanie pooped today?” 

Yes, I will be discussing the dreaded “P” word friends. 

How a plant-based diet, supplementation and natural healthcare transformed and healed my body, starting at the age of 11.

Learning about my energy body, understanding things from a metaphysical perspective, trusting that’s its all connected and that we’re all wired to heal.

Seeing food as the healer.

In this solo-cast episode, 80 Grit, I share who I used to be known as and how I learned how to lovingly break down the unconsciously created walls of protection that no longer served me. Transformation city!

I invite you to join me in this unfolding journey of expansion and growth, bust out of rigidity and mediocrity, and show up in the world from a place of service in the highest way possible. 

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

What the heck 80 Grit means and why I was given that brutal nickname

The masks of protection I wore and how I used them to survive 

Learning to recognize the body’s signals that something is out of alignment

Unveiling and inviting the immense healing power of the heart

Beginning to gently break down the walls and discovered my true loving nature

Transforming limiting beliefs about who I was and realizing the power of what comes after “I AM”

I feel we are experiencing a paradigm shift of consciousness that is shaking things up; it is forcing people to speak up. Life as we know it was forced to stop. Many of us, who had busy schedules and barely had time to breathe, were forced to stay at home, and suddenly, we had nothing but time to spend with our demons, with our deepest, darkest secrets. Mankind had no choice but to start looking inward.

The good thing about setbacks is that they give us contrast; they mold us, and we need to be grateful for the things that happened to us and allow us to be who we are today. 

I'm Melanie McCulley, and this podcast is an extension of my ongoing quest for liberation. Here I will share my wildest, unedited stories of radical change with the only intent of inspiring you, guide you into becoming the unique, beautiful version of you that you were always meant to be. We will also have conversations with unique, game-changing people with extraordinary stories. 

I invite you to join me in this journey of expansion and growth, bust out rigidity and mediocrity, and show up in the world from a place of service in the highest way possible. 

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• What I realized at the beginning of my spiritual journey (4:01)
• Why I've decided to share my story (6:02)
• The masks we use to be whomever people want us to be (10:51)
• My wake-up call when COVID touched me (18:30)
• What Open at the Top means and where it comes from (23:13)
