<![CDATA[Mel in the Mix]]>Mel in the Mix is a space for the ones who feel everything deeply… the ones who are waking up to something more, but don’t always have the words for it.

I’m Mel, a spiritual medium, reiki master, meditation facilitator, and life coach but more than anything, I’m someone who’s walked this path in a very real, human way.

Everything I do is rooted in God’s love, His light, and divine protection. My faith is a part of everything here, and I move through this work with intention, prayer, and trust in Him.

This podcast is where spirituality, faith, healing, and real life all come together.

We’ll talk about spiritual awakening, intuition, signs from loved ones, grief, loss, emotional healing, boundaries, and learning how to trust yourself in a way that feels grounded and safe. 

Some episodes will feel like conversations. Some will be more reflective. Some may guide you back into your body through simple grounding or meditation.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re changing, like something inside of you is shifting, or like you don’t quite fit into the boxes you’ve been given anymore, you’re not alone.

And if you’re grieving, missing someone, or trying to make sense of your experiences while still growing and finding your way, there’s space for you here too.

This is a place where you can come as you are, stay connected to God, and explore what you’re experiencing without fear.

Take what you need, leave the rest… and meet yourself in the mix.

And just so we’re clear… this isn’t one of those polished, say-the-right-thing spaces. It’s real, it’s honest, and yeah… I’m definitely going to curse a little while I’m loving on you.

Xoxo, Mel

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.

Welcome to Mel in the Mix]]>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.
