1: So… I Talk to Dead People (And I Still Love God)

from Mel in the Mix · host Melissa Alvelo

How do you introduce yourself when what you do makes people a little uncomfortable? That’s something I wrestled with for a long time. In this episode, my husband Joshua and I sit down and share the real story. Not a polished version… just what it actually looked like. From the intuitive experiences I had as a kid that I didn’t have language for, to the moment we walked into a mediumship session as complete skeptics and walked out seeing everything differently. We talk about the faith side of this too… the questions, the tension, and learning how to trust God with something that didn’t fit neatly into what I thought it was supposed to look like. This conversation is for anyone who’s navigating spiritual awakening, grief, or trying to make sense of their experiences while still holding onto their faith. More than anything, I just want you to feel less alone in it. This isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about showing up, being honest about what you’re experiencing, and giving yourself permission to take up space as you do. If you’re new here, this is a really good place to start. Timestamps: 3:55 – Why Mel wanted people to know her before her gift 6:15 – Early intuitive experiences that couldn’t be explained 15:07 – A real life moment that proved her intuition again 19:09 – The turning point that opened everything 27:38 – The meditation experience that shifted everything 37:49 – Why now was finally the time to start the podcast 41:39 – The “porch light” grounding explanation 44:38 – Why spirit gives you what you need, not what you expectConnect with Mel on InstagramBook a Reading ($80 until June 1st)
