  • Ep 85: Growth Doesn’t Always Look Like Motion
    Jan 22 2026

    Some experiences don’t change your direction — they confirm it.

    In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry reflects on his second year attending Podfest 2026 in Orlando. This is not a recap of sessions or speakers. It’s a reflection on what becomes visible when growth matures, urgency fades, and clarity begins to lead.

    Through quiet moments, meaningful reconnections, and honest self-observation, Melvin explores how growth often becomes less about adding and more about refining. You’ll hear why clarity matters more than volume, alignment matters more than activity, and why quiet seasons don’t mean you’re stuck — they often mean you’re integrating.

    This episode includes two embedded video reflections recorded during Podfest, along with a short in-the-moment conversation with Alicia Couri, offering continuity from a relationship first formed at Podfest the year before.

    If you’ve felt things getting quieter in your life, business, or creative journey — this conversation may help you understand why that’s not a setback, but a signal.

  • Ep 84: The Power of Being Truly Heard and Understood with Daniel Kobryner
    Jan 15 2026

    What if success isn’t the problem — but silence is?
    What happens when you’ve checked all the boxes… and still feel disconnected?

    In this deeply reflective conversation, Melvin Larry sits down with Daniel Kobryner, a former global business leader turned Mental Fitness Coach and host of Redesign Your Life Today.

    Daniel spent more than three decades living a high-performance life filled with responsibility, travel, and outward success — yet quietly felt something was missing. In this episode, he opens up about the subtle inner shifts that often come before major life change, the hidden cost of perfectionism, and why productivity without purpose eventually leads to disconnection.

    Together, Melvin and Daniel explore:

    • Why burnout often shows up as quiet disengagement
    • How early life conditioning shapes adult patterns
    • The role of saboteurs like perfectionism, hyper-achievement, and fear
    • Why procrastination is emotional, not lazy
    • The difference between chasing success and attracting alignment
    • What it truly means to be heard, seen, and understood — without judgment

    This conversation is not about doing more.
    It’s about listening more honestly — to yourself, your life, and what’s quietly asking for change.

    If you’re accomplished, capable, and still sensing that something is “off,” this episode will meet you right where you are.

  • Ep 83: The Quiet Signals Life Sends Before Change
    Jan 8 2026

    Life doesn’t usually force change out of nowhere.
    It whispers first — and most of us explain those whispers away.

    Life rarely shocks us without warning.

    In this solo episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores the quiet signals that appear long before life forces change — in business, career, relationships, health, and personal growth.

    These signals don’t arrive as emergencies.
    They show up as repetition, emotional flatness, internal tension, over-rationalizing, resentment, and a shift in how time feels.

    You may be succeeding on the outside, advancing in your career, or maintaining important relationships — yet sensing something feels off. This episode unpacks why that feeling isn’t restlessness or failure, but information asking to be acknowledged.

    Melvin explains how discipline without awareness can turn into endurance for the wrong thing, how limiting beliefs disguise themselves as wisdom, and why learning to listen earlier allows change to be thoughtful instead of forced.

    You’ll also hear about The Quiet Signals Guide, a reflective companion resource designed to help you recognize these signals before life gets loud.

    This episode is not about drastic decisions.
    It’s about awareness, honesty, and listening to what’s been quietly showing up.
