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

<p>How do you introduce yourself when what you do makes people a little uncomfortable?</p><p> </p><p>That’s something I wrestled with for a long time.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>More than anything, I just want you to feel less alone in it.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>If you’re new here, this is a really good place to start.</p><p> </p><p></p><p><b>Timestamps:</b></p><p> 3:55 – Why Mel wanted people to know her before her gift</p><p> 6:15 – Early intuitive experiences that couldn’t be explained</p><p> 15:07 – A real life moment that proved her intuition again</p><p> 19:09 – The turning point that opened everything</p><p> 27:38 – The meditation experience that shifted everything</p><p> 37:49 – Why now was finally the time to start the podcast</p><p> 41:39 – The “porch light” grounding explanation</p><p> 44:38 – Why spirit gives you what you need, not what you expect<br /><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/melnthemiddle" target="_blank">Connect with Mel on Instagram</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://melissaalvelo.setmore.com/" target="_blank">Book a Reading</a> ($80 until June 1st)</p>
