Episode 15: Mela Shea is The Stand Up Psychic

Let’s run this down: She’s a psychic and a medium. She does stand up comedy. She has a Patreon where she does all the aforementioned, but also NSFW content (like super kinky stuff with herself and with her boyfriend to satisfy all your fetishes). She has cerebral palsy. She survived a traumatic youth, but got through all of those with science and psychedelics. Wildly interesting is an understatement. And there’s still much, much more. We also discuss her favorite photo of herself shot by Ohad Kab.
