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":"6: The Words I Never Want to Hear Again","slug":"6-the-words-i-never-want-to-hear-again","published_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mel-in-the-mix-7868448/6-the-words-i-never-want-to-hear-again","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mel-in-the-mix-7868448","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f62fb2750ffea9ed050600134fd5e169023d7ba59775cb487dbcc05c956bba5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI4YWZlMGJkZS1kNTIxLTQyNDYtYTY3Zi04MjBkNGNjODE0NTYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIwM2M5NzFiNC1hNjE0LTQzNmEtOTIwMi00ZjU5YWYwMzYzMDQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTVlYjRjNTIzNGY5NDI2ZmExZWJiZGUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzNDFjNTA0ZjA3NjVkNmQzNDRiOTVkL21lbGlzc2EtYWx2ZWxvcy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi02LTE4X18xOC0yNi01Ni5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f62fb2750ffea9ed050600134fd5e169023d7ba59775cb487dbcc05c956bba5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI4YWZlMGJkZS1kNTIxLTQyNDYtYTY3Zi04MjBkNGNjODE0NTYiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIwM2M5NzFiNC1hNjE0LTQzNmEtOTIwMi00ZjU5YWYwMzYzMDQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTVlYjRjNTIzNGY5NDI2ZmExZWJiZGUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzNDFjNTA0ZjA3NjVkNmQzNDRiOTVkL21lbGlzc2EtYWx2ZWxvcy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi02LTE4X18xOC0yNi01Ni5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"In this deeply personal episode, I share a moment from a recent session that I haven’t been able to shake. A client looked at me through tears and said the words I never want to hear again. Because they broke my heart. Join me as I unpack why that moment stayed with me, what I’ve learned from witnessing people in their most vulnerable moments, and why I never want anyone to apologize for being human. If you’ve ever apologized for crying, convinced yourself you’re too much, or felt like you had to carry everything alone, this episode is for you. You don’t have to hold it all together here. Timestamps: 02:07 How we learn to apologize for grief, tears, and emotional overwhelm. 03:07 Why so many people suffer in silence instead of reaching out. 04:25 The powerful moment when emotional walls finally come down. 07:55 The strongest thing you can do is stop pretending you're okay. 09:09 Why healing cannot be rushed or forced into a timeline. 11:25 The difference between carrying someone's pain and holding space for healing. 14:13 Why being fully seen and fully loved creates healing.
