Episode 16: Conversation with Pia Mellody

[@lah189]

Alanis. You are a beautiful soul who is on a wonderful journey. I admire your wisdom. It would be wonderful if you could be bring pia back and let her speak almost the entire time. She has amazing things to teach.

[@Robin-bk2lm]

Nice to hear this. Very informative and valuable to me. I wish Alanis would let the expert finish her points.

[@patriciaschuetz7960]

Loved hearing from Pia, all she had to say, and Alanis was a great and gracious host! Really helps to understand co-dependent behavior. Excellent Talk! Seriously! Pia has been a therapist for many decades and really knows this stuff!

[@jamescardwell4686]

Less Alanis more Pia, pause. Pia’s emphasis of soul was powerful. Thank you. Progress toward perfection.

[@girldisappearing6129]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for posting! Pia does incredible work!!!!

[@JanTijmes]

Pia, I've been holding your research in Facing Codependence close to my heart for the last few months of the Lord revealing the pain and shame I've carried since youth. Thanks four your work. My wife's mentor worked w you for years at the Meadows. In all things, praise the Lord.

[@pips1zx]

Omg Alanis in some minute I lived everything that you lived, I am still recovering from some things, thank you for educating our society

[@elizabethhubbard8151]

Alanis, your music has introduced me to healing from my own codependency and brought me so much healing. Thank you for your earnest honesty in your work, it is a godsend.

[@robinplan1858]

Pia: "Boundaries act as filters allowing to come in and go out only those things that are appropriate to our psychological health and to the truth of who we are."

[@sophievigneau8738]

Thanks a lot Pia Mellody... your books helps me a lot

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

That was me for 20 years too. I like to tell people I was Alanis Morissette when I was younger and now that I’m older I’m more like Jewel😂 Less interrupting though, we want to hear Pia. ✌️❤️

[@patriciaschuetz7960]

Also Alanis you changed my life with Jagged Little Pill! I remember driving to work screaming those songs with you! Good stuff!

[@mysticalmultiverse]

I feel like Alanis is interjecting and talking so much because she's really excited to be able to talk to Pia, who understands her. I honestly don't think Pia minded. I think the conversation was very interesting and I related to a lot that Alanis was saying. This isn't an interview. It's a conversation and yes, I do think Pia should have been given more time to talk while Alanis listened more but I still really enjoyed this conversation.

[@Lowlitstudio]

Awesome Alanis. I like Pia! She seems to not hold back at al, like she holds zero punches. Her framing on what codependent is has been hugely helpful for me in navigating relations, from the professional work I do and my own personal stuff. Thanks for hosting her

[@dawnandersen5321]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing. I’ve dealt with a lot of childhood trauma and this truly helps me move forward ❤️

[@amandanettles7453]

Thank you Alanis! Been a fan of yours since I was a little girl. You Rock 🎸 this was amazing. I just realized I have DID this topic was on point with my everyday life. Finally someone like Pia understands me. That's a good feeling 😊

[@TheYconrad]

20 minutes in…I wanted to hear more from Pia and less from Alanis. Nonetheless, I hung in there and heard gold nuggets from Pia. I just fast forwarded when Alanis spoke.

[@jennywager6228]

Alan is, I was questioning things too! Great conversation from someone on the recovery journey and one that has studied it too. Thank you ladies ❤️

[@ckenedy26]

She has the best English pronunciation i've ever seen...its beautiful

[@bucketsofmoonbeams]

Thank you, Alanis, for holding a sacred space around trauma and shame, and for hosting such a wonderful healer like Pia Mellody. Some here have criticized you for speaking too much during the interview but it’s clear to me you’ve done the work and your questions and reflections were helpful imo. 🙏✨

[@katesage3221]

Alanis, kindly, let her talk.

[@mypillowguy445]

Ssshhhh

[@MiloDCampos]

Love it!!!! So good Brazil loves you Alanis!!

[@JustaSillySailor]

Such a beautiful and enlightening guest

[@MariaPaula-sg1ti]

Alanis lança um álbum mulher! 🇧🇷❤

[@upendasana7857]

I agree with some of the comments below about Alanis sharing way too much and not allowing the guest to expound more.I hate it when people invite others to be interviewed and then end up using the encounter to show more about their own knowledge than allow the guest to share theirs.Its fine to clarify and fill in with your own examples or but please allow a guest to speak,otherwise why even invite the guest? just do a one woman monologue.

[@tessjones5987]

Pia is really good at boundaries in this interview. Pia is sooo wise.

[@xx4741]

I love conversation with Alanis. This really applies to me and helps me through things that I’ve grown up with. Thank you Alanis for making these! I admire you greatly for making great music and helping others!

[@JustaSillySailor]

Love all your works 💪

[@anitawright9597]

Seriously Pia Melody is an authority in the field of codependency yet the show ended up being about Alains Morissette... I wish she let Pia speak more

[@steventai9903]

AM did declared she was giddy since the get go. And as a host she's got a checklist she's intending steer Pia to. So I think she was doing just that.

[@SaraMUL]

Have you ever been to therapy?

[@kamarieshines]

I just love you so much miss Alanis!

[@dawudmakonnen7077]

I thought this was an interview with a guest...but the interviewer kept interrupting and talking...ALOT

[@ScarlettRose7221]

Very difficult to get through this interview due to Ms. Morissette’s constant interruptions.

[@JustaSillySailor]

Be safe and blessed 🙌 you are a treasure

[@isabelpollen3691]

Crucial work. Listen.

[@lilianfreire3917]

Teria como alguém traduzir, para o português? ???

[@kamarieshines]

I learned a new word today! tangantenize, thank you alanis!

[@CuteDot5]

tangentialize?

[@samu_lab]

What a surprise! Two nice souls!

[@emilyzena7070]

Brilliant interview! Thank you both

[@AB-bt9eb]

Love you Alanis!

[@ariyesh]

for all those complaining about alanis participating, who probably didn't notice, the title is: "CONVERSATION WITH ALANIS". not "A LECTURE BY PIA".

[@gossipgi]

damn you just described my whole families issues AND my grandparents and fathers family issues wow

[@JustaSillySailor]

1hr book mark.. so much food for thought I need to digest

[@juaneliasfigueredo5399]

Te amo Alanis, dios este contigo.

[@TheGiantRobot]

Great stuff!

[@josephangelucci5094]

Thank you

[@JustaSillySailor]

I always knew you was an angel 😇

[@makaylahollywood3677]

Great discussion.

[@khouvine.7552]

Thanks but i wish you d let your guest talk

[@mypillowguy445]

If you want to hear what she has to say, buy her books.

[@sofiagameslobaalpha8828]

Tradução, por favor!! Em português Brasil 😇😀

[@michannepotgieter8891]

Would like to hear Pia speak more...

[@prismonthethehorizon5793]

8:20, 13:30 All children are inherently worthy.

[@PS-hz9cr]

Wow...a boundary Alanis could work on is to allow others the space and time to speak and answer her questions. She's asked Pia on to talk, but Alanis does all the talking and only pauses long enough to get affirmation that she's right. It should be called Alanis talks about Pia's work, and she didn't even need to invite Pia.

[@JustaSillySailor]

Whack-a-mole addiction... noted for trauma the reasons I didn't know I had... thank you

[@josianemoraes4168]

Alanis Morissette I LOVE YOU! S2

[@omakuva]

This is a really frustrating experience. I wish Ms. Morissette would give the brilliant Pia Mellody some space to actually talk. A more appropriate title for this would be Soliloquy by Alanis Morissette.

[@marcek9910]

Can't listen to the whole of this because I was hoping to listen to Pia, but I'm hearing Alanís mostly. I'd have preferred to hear Pia speak on the theories she's developed. Even if this is a conversation and not a straight out interview, I still get the sense that Alanís dominates. Feeling icky

[@kennethbobo2752]

Jeez AM. Can you let the guest talk!!

[@courtneybrubaker9738]

Let the guest speak more than you.

[@gretanavarauskaite2904]

❤️

[@Ash-rb1kr]

It requires immense patience for pias 30 seconds talk in between this verbal diarrhoea.. 🙄🙄

[@serloren5308]

Alanis, que Dios te vendiga. Estas wallking hasta los huesos.

[@livvyollin]

alanis talks a bit too much.... wish she'd let her guest explain their own concepts.

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

Codependent over sharing.

[@casteretpollux]

Boundaries.....

[@isamardiorre8738]

😍❤❤❤❤❤👏

[@Lowlitstudio]

Dear Alanis: Question: It has to do with Prosody. The juxtaposition of the prosody of your speech compared to Pia’s is a good example of contrast. Can you illuminate and paint a picture of what your perspective is on prosody - tone, cadence, sound, pauses, all of the part of speech that effects how our message is felt, heard, etc. While I love Pia’s wisdom, her prosody is not necessarily something that seems like it has been sculpted to be more digestible or enjoyable. It’s the same thing we see with people like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Like, what and how would voice lessons etc do to make someone like Pia more palletable

[@jeffkoe310]

I think the severe and early abuse is what caused Pia's unusual presentation. She had to learn to make clear and firm boundaries because her boundaries were so profoundly violated.

[@beckbabej]

Alanis is so affected, Pia is the real deal.

[@tessjones5987]

I am 70 and Pia Mellody was the life saver of our generation. So I think your context is just your context. She is so direct that she is accesible to all.

[@gmajlmikylapietralapietra9628]

Morissette biutifoull...❤👑👄

[@kevinsellers5506]

U know i love u right

[@reginaking4301]

Love ALANIS MORISSETTE

[@airmailpostcards6427]

Age-regression due to childhood trauma. What if your trauma was only due to your adoption? Then when you were 19 you married an abuser?

[@airmailpostcards6427]

I read Facing Codependence in 07, realized I was CD due to 14 years I was abused, then I realized I had trauma due to my adoption also. Still writing my book about all of this.

[@kevinsellers5506]

Hey alinis

[@roxie8741]

I really want to like this but Alanis talks too much!!! I hardly got to know the interviewee...she hardly had a chance to speak her mind.

[@carolgerber6375]

Alanis, stop finishing her sentences. Is this a personal therapy session for you?

[@aviLives]

Unfortunately, she did not let Pia Melody talk. This was a missed opportunity and demonstrates the host's poverty

[@mysketchbookweighsaton5005]

Geez! you couldn't go 10 minutes of conversation without naming political sides. tacky

[@jiawanyang855]

Alanis talked far too much, you are not expert, people want to listen to Pia here.
