[00:00:00] In episode 634, I’m going to be sharing with you the best of 2024, some last minute gift ideas, most popular episodes of all time, and so much more. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the Melissa Ambrosini show. I’m your host, Melissa, best selling author of Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, Comparisonitis, and Time Magic. And I’m here to remind you that love is sexy, healthy is liberating, and wealthy isn’t a dirty word. Each week, I’ll be getting up close and personal with thought leaders from around the globe, as well as your weekly dose of motivation so that you can create epic change.

No matter what you need right now, whether it is that last minute gift idea for your sweetheart or an [00:01:00] epic podcast to listen to while you whip up a batch of gluten free gingerbread, I have got you covered. So I’m going to share with you a roundup of some of my favorite things from 2024 shared with love from my heart to yours.

So let’s dive in. I’ve got three last minute gift ideas for you. Number one is Time Magic. Now this book is the perfect gift for anyone who loves productivity hacks, has big goals, feels time poor, struggles with overwhelm, or anyone who wants to get more done with less stress. And honestly, who doesn’t? It would make a truly excellent gift for anyone.

Your aunts, uncles, parents, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, besties, pretty much anyone will benefit from this book. So make sure you check out Time Magic. It’s an incredible book. It won best business book and best personal development book of the year for 2023, which is so amazing. So grab yourself a copy of that if you haven’t already.

Now, the [00:02:00] next one is anything from Hydrogen Health. So I love the products from Hydrogen Health. I use them every single day. We are currently using their shower filters because we are staying at a friend’s house at the moment and so we don’t have our whole house water filtration system. So we’re using the shower filters on the sinks, under the kitchen, in the bathroom, on the bath, in the laundry.

We’ve got them everywhere. I also use their water bottle. every single day. We’ve got their benchtop water filtration system that we use every single day. We’ve got the hydrogen mister, the breathing machine. We use pretty much all of their products every single day. You guys know I’m a huge fan of biohacking and time magic habit stacking.

So whilst I’m working, I do a lot of those biohacking things and you guys can get 20 percent off any of the hydrogen health products. With the code Melissa. So grab yourself anything from there for you, for any of your family or friends, [00:03:00] and they will thank you later. Trust me on that. And then the third last minute gift idea is the Holy Mama journal.

Now I am gifting all of my mama friends, a copy of this for Christmas. Now this gorgeous guided journal is full of inspiring prompts and opportunities for reflection. It has been part of my daily routine now for years, and I’m completely obsessed with it. So. Check out the Holly mama journal. I’ll link to everything in the show notes as well for you guys.

So they are my top three last minute gift ideas for you guys. Now I’ve got a holiday playlist just for you. Now, I’ve pulled together five episodes from the past year that are 1000 percent worth listening to if you haven’t already listened to them or re listened to them. These have had hundreds of thousands of downloads, and I do not want you to miss them.

Again, I will link to these in the show notes for you. So episode 597 with Robin Sharma. This is what billionaires do differently each day to achieve success. Go and listen [00:04:00] to that episode. It is so good. Episode number 573 with the number one life coach, Matthew Hussey. And it’s titled, this is the secret to a more fulfilling love life.

Go and listen to that. It’s so good. Episode 5 9 0 the exact daily habits and foods that helped me generate over 11 million in my business. That is such an amazing episode. It’s had so many downloads. Go and listen to that. And episode five, seven, one, how to finally get out of survival mode and start thriving.

This is such a powerful episode with Heather Chavine, and you are going to love it. And finally, the last one, episode number six, one, one, how not to age with Dr. Michael Greger. You guys are going to love that episode. So there’s a bit of a mix there. There’s some business. There’s some relationship and there is some health.

I’m all about health, wealth, and love. So I wanted to cover the three biggest areas of everyone’s life and I know you’re going to love them. So if you’ve got long drives or any plane flights over the [00:05:00] next couple of weeks, download those right now and save them to your phone so that you can dive deep into them when you get the chance.

Now, I’ve got some other amazing recommendations from 2024. So you guys know that this year I broke my ankle while pregnant. I know like, seriously, it’s been a journey, but one silver lining of that is it stopped me. It really did stop me and forced me to slow down. And I was able to read a little bit more and listen to some more podcasts and watch some amazing shows in the evening.

So if you are looking for some recommendations. Of things to watch over this holiday season. I recommend nobody wants this on Netflix. It is so good. So, so, so good. I absolutely loved it. Then next up, we’ve got Emily in Paris. If you have not watched all of the series of Emily in Paris, do yourself a favor and watch them.

They’re so good. It’s fluffy, it’s fashionable, and it is the perfect dose of Parisian daydreaming. [00:06:00] Watching Emily navigate life in Paris is pure fun. It takes me back to my year living there when I danced at the Moulin Rouge and it just transports me straight back there. So I love that. Okay. The Kardashians.

I love watching how they all run their businesses and lives. It’s super fascinating. The idea of you, which is a movie. Oh my gosh. If you have not seen this, do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s so beautiful. It just hits differently. It’s a love story that’s unexpected and beautifully told. And if you haven’t seen it, definitely add it to your list and bring the tissues at the end.

Or maybe that was just my pregnancy hormones. Popstar Academy, Cat’s Eye was so good. Now you guys know I attended a professional performing arts Academy after high school. So for a whole year and this reality series took me straight back to those days. I was mesmerized watching these hugely talented girls compete to be in the K pop group.

And I really have strong feelings about the ending, but I won’t spoil it, but I [00:07:00] absolutely love that. And then kind of following the same theme here, you can tell the kind of shows that I like. The next one is America’s Sweethearts, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Now, I’m just in awe of the talent and the dedication that these women have, and it makes me want to go and do high kicks all the way to a dance class, and I’m so excited to get back into dance classes one day, I’m not sure when that will be, but one day.

And maybe we can start our own cheer squad. Who’s keen? Let me know who is keen. Okay. Next up is three things that I am deeply grateful for. Now, the first one is my family. Like being a mother is such an honor of this lifetime and doing it with Nick by my side is an absolute dream come true. Like my gratitude knows no bounds.

Seriously. And I’m so grateful for my body and my health. And after a few months of being unable to walk properly, then witnessing my body heal itself while also growing a baby, honestly, our bodies are pure miracles. I have a renewed sense [00:08:00] of gratitude for this incredible temple and all that it is capable of, especially after breaking my ankle.

Yes. Mm hmm. And finally, I’m deeply grateful for you. As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year that has been. It has been a journey of growth, huge growth for me. Discovery and so many unforgettable, beautiful moments, and none of which would have been possible without your love and support.

So I truly thank you for your presence here. I do not take it for granted. Thank you for letting me be part of your world, your inbox, your life, your car journeys, your workouts. I just am so grateful and I can already feel that next year holds something truly special for all of us. And I’m sending you all so much love and best wishes and high vibe energy for what is to come.

And I’m wishing you all the most magical love filled holiday season ever. Thank you so much [00:09:00] for being here. I hope you have enjoyed your 2024. Come and connect with me on Instagram. Tell me what you are so excited about for 2025 in your business and your life. I would love to hear. And don’t forget that love is sexy, healthy is liberating, and wealthy isn’t a dirty word.

Thank you so much for listening. I’m so honored that you’re here and would be SO grateful if you could leave me a review on Apple podcasts, that way we can inspire and educate even more people together.
