Raw, real, and full of heart. This podcast reveals the power of vulnerability and courage, spotlighting stories that inspire and empower. A must-listen for anyone navigating their own journey of growth and self-acceptance.

Melissa does a great job at making her guests feel comfortable and “heard”, which is one of the most important things for adoptees to feel. She has a way of naturally connecting with and empathizing with the people she interviews.

One of the aspects I truly appreciate about this podcast is its focus on the adoptee healing. The guests not only share their inspiring stories but also provide insights listeners can consider for use in their own lives. Host Melissa Brunetti like having a personal mentor each person towards personal growth and success. Melissa is a fantastic.

Professional, informative, this is a topic that needs more attention in so many ways.

Melissa Brunetti is a host that is so knowledgeable. Her shows are interesting and lively conversations about sensitive topics. I have learned so much about the parent- child relationship within the adoption community. Thank you!

As an adoptee I appreciate Melissa’s honest yet hopeful treatment of what it means to navigate adoption as we go through life. I also love the varied guests and perspectives she’s had on her show, always asking the hard questions while also showing so much love and concern for her guests and their unique experiences.

I found this podcast through an author friend who is also adopted. After listening to the episode where she tells her story of adoption, I reached out to the host, Melissa, and we created an episode together of my adoption story. This process was very healing for me. My feelings were validated and Melissa does a great job moving the conversation along. I come back to this podcast to listen to others stories and it reminds me of reading the chicken soup for the soul books. It's validating, I don't feel so alone, and I feel like I'm a part of a bigger community. Big thanks to Melissa for creating season 2 so adoptees have a safe place to share their stories.

Melissa has given a forum for discussion that is honest and caring. Please listen in whenever you have time. It’s well worth it!

I recently stumbled across this podcast and am now wondering why I didn’t find it sooner. I like the fact that there are a wide range of topics and guests all relating to the adoption experience, it seems like no topic or story is too trivial or complex to be considered for a discussion. Melissa does a great job with the interview process, she seems to have a good feel for getting the most out of her interviews. Highly recommended!

It’s like hair club for men. I produce the product but I’m also a listener!! If you feel lost or alone in constellation land you are in the right place! Whether a birth parent, adoptive parent of adoptee, your story is important! It’s time to educate the world about adoption.

Thank you for allowing adoptees a place to be seen and heard. Your podcast lets us tell our stories so everyone will understand why adoption should be the last option.

Mind Your Own Karma is a wonderful podcast. Melissa Brunetti adds a delightful charm and gentle warmth as she engages with interesting guests. The stories of adoptees are as many and varied as there are adoptees. Melissa does a great job traveling with each person telling their story, stopping at points of interest, and asking stimulating and insightful questions along the way. Melissa possesses what I call an irenic spirit. This is a kind and peaceful demeanor which makes guests feel comfortable in her presence and like what they have to say is important to her. I highly recommend Mind Your Own Karma. Melissa is one of the best.

Melissa does a wonderful job with all her guests. She is so kind and compassionate and the conversations are so heartfelt. Thanks for bringing all voices of the adoptee community to the show.

The thing I love about Melissa’s podcast is that she doesn’t sugar-coat adoption’s complexities. Yet she encourages coherence amongst the adoption constellation - adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, and allies. Hers is a message of personal growth and responsibility, and supporting each other on our journeys. I’m an adoptive parent who truly appreciates the honest conversations on Mind Your Own Karma.

I love listening to this podcast before I start my day. It reminds me that I am not alone and there are people out there that truly get it. Sharing our stories is so important for our healing journey. Thank you Melissa for making a difference.

I love you that you give the space for all of those involved in adoption stories, from adoptees, adoptive parents and birth parents. I also love the sprinkling of paranormal stories… looking forward to more episodes!

I’ve just found “Mind Your Own Karma” with Host, and fellow adoptee, Melissa Brunetti. When you find people who really “get it” and are actively reaching out to help others — grab hold! I’ve only just begun to dig into the episodes, but so far, Melissa speaks hope, transformation, and loving self and others.

Melissa is a great interviewer. I love her sincere desire to support adoptees, to explore the deeper side of the journey, and to focus in the direction of healing.

I have such an appreciation for the work you are doing outside of your day job with MYOK. Everyone’s stories and the education in general are helping me as a therapist to be more compassionate and supportive for adoptees and adoption parents. It is also validating for me regarding not having my dad involved growing up. I also have lots of trauma regarding my mother whom I lived with which unfortunately provided me some of the experiences adoptees discuss as well. Just saying thank you and I am still a dedicated listener 💜

I have really enjoyed listening along to Melissa's story and her personal reflections about her past and how it's affected her life. As someone who went to high school with Melissa, I had no idea she was adopted. Listening to her reflections and internal conflicts made me realize we truly have no idea what other people are going through, and how they're processing their world. It really has helped me to remember how unique we all are and that we never do fully know everything about another person. We are complex beings who need each other. This podcast is a wonderful affirmation of our depth and interconnectedness as human beings.

Excellent content, if you are on a quest to heal and understand why you feel the way you do, why you have done things in the past that just didn’t make sense or if you are struggling with search and reunion this is a must for you. Melissa bravely approaches these very emotional topics with clarity and honesty and brings others of our tribe into the conversation. You will discover that even though you may feel alone against the world, you aren’t. Discussions here will help you progress and process feelings you may have had and couldn’t give a voice to in the past. The stories will resonate with you on a level you may not have recognized before.

Your passion and dedication to help adoptee and their adopters is to be commended. You come from a place of love and compassion, and even understanding and acceptance for a flawed system. Job well done!! Important for everyone to listen and how we can be supportive.

I really enjoy this podcast for the variety of topics! Melissa has the ability to tackle these topics with her natural style and has no problem sharing how they can relate to her own life. The episode on bitterness was so on target and I enjoyed listening to a topic that does not get much attention. I love how it also tied into Melissa's podcast title and what she believes on the topic of karma. Melissa covers some profound topics with grace and innate power that makes you feel welcome to her space.

Thanks to Melissa for talking about the topics that we're all curious about. I love her perspective!

Thanks for this podcast! I wish I would have counted all my pivots over the years!

It is so important to come back to yourself and who you truly are! Love taking off the hats. Thank you for starting this podcast! Melissa

100 percent agree with how ego robs our innate unique joy of being who we are & showing up with love for ourselves to reflect our into the world!

I so love the message this podcast sends, especially when it comes to how we influence and treat our kids, our girls! So good, so powerful!! Thank you, Melissa!!

Melissa has so much to offer! I love that her podcast feels both inspirational and practical. She invites us to step into a higher version of ourselves while sharing tools and practices that help us so just that. I really enjoyed listening in.

I love the range of topics covered in this podcast, and the real and authentic voice Melissa brings to them. She really makes me think, and is fascinating to listen to!

Love listening to her podcast. Melissa is authentic and provides really helpful insights about how to instill confidence and mindset with our children. Can’t wait to hear more.

I’m really enjoying this podcast and the variety of subjects. Melissa is very authentic and fresh.

I just listened to Melissa’s Bonus Full Moon Karma Files episode. She is a terrific story teller and I felt like I was there with her. She brings such beauty to her spooky story telling; a lost art in today’s world. I highly recommend Melissa’s podcast. She breathes fresh air to your perspective.

I am loving the authenticity that Melissa brings to the table. How she is able to take her past and relate it to things apply to all of us. I love the idea of talking to animals and am curious about gifts that we may not even know we have. I can’t wait to hear more!

Ah! You can tell that she is doing what she is being led to do. Melissa is incredibly authentic in a way that is refreshing and liberating. Thank you for this!

Melissa is a gem of wisdom, wit and experience. She has an easy way of sharing how to live better. Can’t wait for more.

Loved the first episode and can’t wait for more! I really believe this podcast is going to be beneficial to my life in so many ways. Thank you!

I am so excited for this podcast to launch!! I can’t wait to dive in and find out what is in store for us with Melissa!!
