Psychologist Kaz Amos and somatic practitioner Holly join host Mel Histon to explore the art of letting go and finding peace through the combined wisdom of psychology, yoga, and spirituality.

How to Let Go and Find Peace - with Kaz Amos and Holly Green

What happens when the world you love becomes the place that breaks you?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, host, Mel Histon, sits down with her sister, Kate Histon, to uncover a truth that has stayed hidden in the shadows of the dance world for far too long.

From the outside, ballet looks beautiful—poised, elegant, disciplined.
But behind the curtain?
For so many dancers, the reality is far darker.

Kate bravely shares:


The silent culture of abuse, control and perfectionism inside the ballet world


How young girls are conditioned to ignore pain, override their bodies and please authority


The lasting emotional and physical trauma that shaped her adult life


What finally forced her to confront the truth she had been carrying for decades


And the powerful healing journey she has been on ever since

This is more than a story about ballet—it’s a story about reclaiming your voice, unlearning the harm you normalised as a girl, and finding your way back to your true self.

Whether you’ve danced, parent a dancer, or have ever abandoned your own needs to fit in or be “good,” this episode will crack something open in you.

It’s raw.
It’s honest.
And it’s one of the most important conversations we’ve ever had.

Listen now to hear how Kate broke free from the system that shaped her—and how she finally started to heal.

So many of us struggle with intimacy and sexual satisfaction — often because we don’t fully understand our bodies or how pleasure really works.

In this eye-opening and deeply empowering conversation, host Mel Histon, sits down with leading sex therapist, Gabrielle Lawrie, to dive into the most common misconceptions about sex, intimacy, and connection — and why so many people struggle without ever seeking support.

Gabrielle breaks down the science of arousal, and why so many people struggle with sexual satisfaction—not because anything is “wrong” with them, but because they were never given proper sexual education in the first place.

We explore the physical and psychological aspects of sexual health, unpack the myths that cause frustration in the bedroom, and share practical insights couples can use to deepen intimacy, improve communication, and truly understand each other’s needs.

Whether you’re in a relationship, single, curious, or on your own journey of self-discovery, this episode will help you reconnect to your body, your pleasure, and your power.

A deep political and emotional divide is shaping the way women in America see their country, their safety, and their future — with left-leaning and right-leaning women often living in what feel like completely different realities.

In this timely and eye-opening episode, host Mel Histon, sits down with journalist and cultural commentator Alex Morris, who has just returned from the United States — and what she witnessed there speaks volumes about the state of women, politics, and public sentiment in America today.

From small Kentucky towns to national conversations, Alex shares the starkly different worlds that left-leaning and right-leaning Americans are living in — and why the divide feels deeper than ever.

Mel and Alex explore why Trump’s messaging on crime and safety lands so powerfully with certain women, the cultural narratives that shape how women on both sides see the world, and the emotional toll political polarization is taking on female identity, community, and confidence.
