Mel in the Mix

What would you do if you caught a glimpse of a spirit out of the corner of your eye? For years, Mel has had one very clear agreement with Spirit: don’t appear in physical form, and don’t interrupt family time. She chooses when to open herself to communication. So when she caught sight of a little girl out of the corner of her eye during a simple family barbecue at her sisters house, she knew something was different. What she discovered wasn’t something to fear. It was a frightened little girl who had followed Mel’s young niece home after riding the school bus and was too scared to go into the light. In this deeply personal episode, Mel shares one of the most unforgettable experiences of her career as a medium. She takes you through what happened that day, how she came to understand why this little girl was there, and the gentle experience of helping her finally find peace. Along the way, Mel also answers some of the questions she’s asked most often: Can spirits become earthbound? Why do some souls not realize they’ve passed? How do you tell the difference between loving energy and fearful energy? And why should compassion always come before fear? Whether you’re curious about mediumship, wondering what happens after we die, or simply looking for a story that may change the way you see the spirit world, this conversation is one you’ll never forget. Content Note: This episode also includes a brief discussion about the death of someone Mel knew following an overdose.

One of the hardest truths we face is realizing that not everyone is meant to stay forever. In this honest conversation, Mel and Josh explore the grief that comes with changing friendships, shifting family dynamics, and relationships that no longer fit the people we’ve become. Together, they talk about spiritual growth, seasons of life, unanswered prayers, and the difficult reality that sometimes God’s protection comes through subtraction, not addition. This episode isn’t about blame or resentment. It’s about understanding that people can be deeply meaningful without being permanent. Some relationships are lifelong, while others are chapter people, each serving a purpose in our journey. If you’ve ever mourned a friendship, questioned why someone drifted away, or struggled to let go of what a relationship used to be, this conversation is for you. Because maybe not every goodbye is a tragedy. Maybe some goodbyes are graduations. And maybe the goal isn’t to keep everyone forever, but to love people well while they’re here and bless them when they’re not. Some people stay for a lifetime.Some people stay for a season.Both can change your life forever.Timestamps:02:17 Mel reflects on who she was five years ago and the difficult season that changed everything.05:11 How chronic pain brought Mel closer to God during one of her darkest seasons.10:11 The realization that changed how they view friendships and expectations.12:35 Learning to stop abandoning yourself while constantly showing up for everyone else.34:16 The powerful lesson of accepting people for who they are.38:29 Reframing goodbyes as graduations instead of losses.40:08 Mel's closing message about the true value of relationships.Connect with Mel on InstagramBook a Reading

 If you’ve ever had a moment where you’re like…why am I reacting like this? This episode is that. I’m sharing a moment from my own life where I was sitting at breakfast, watching something so simple, and it hit me way deeper than it should have. And in that moment, I realized… this isn’t just me being sensitive. Something is coming up. We talk about what that actually looks like… when old stuff starts surfacing, when your emotions feel bigger than usual, and when you can’t really explain why. Because sometimes it’s not you being “too much.” Sometimes it’s something in you asking to be looked at. If that’s where you are right now… you’re not alone in it. Timestamps:2:10 – Awakening is not what you expect4:05 – The breakfast moment that changed everything7:12 – When your younger self shows up9:08 – Realizing something deeper is asking for attention12:20 – Why your reactions feel bigger than the moment15:03 – When your old life stops fitting19:10 – Healing and awareness happening at the same time Connect with Mel on InstagramBook a Reading

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)

What does it look like to love God, honor your intuition, and heal in real life… all at the same time? That’s really the heart of Mel in the Mix. In this episode, I’m sharing a little bit of my story… what it looked like when my spiritual gifts first started showing up, the internal battle that came with it, and the moments where I almost walked away from it completely. But also… how my faith didn’t fall apart through all of it. It actually deepened. This space is for the ones who feel everything deeply… the sensitive souls, the grieving hearts, the ones who already know they have gifts but aren’t always sure what to do with them… or are scared to even say it out loud. If that's you...you're in the right place. Timestamps:1:10 — Introduction: who Mel is, her credentials, and her family2:30 — The confession: being a woman of God who didn't expect her gifts — and the fear that came with them4:10 — The turning point: God is not fragile, and faith deepened through acceptance4:55 — Who this podcast is really for: the sensitive, the grieving, the ones mid-awakening6:05 — The power of having a steady voice when you're walking into something newConnect with Mel on InstagramBook a Reading
