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 st…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-20T22:17:17.802300+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mel-in-the-mix-7868448"},"episode":{"title":"0: Start here.

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.
