Mel in the Mix

Melissa Alvelo

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

    7: The Spirit of a Little Girl Followed My Niece Home.

    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. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please take care while listening.   In this episode you'll learn: • What it feels like to encounter a spirit unexpectedly • Why some souls become earthbound • How Mel distinguishes loving energy from fear • The role faith plays in helping souls find peace • Why compassion is one of our greatest spiritual gifts       Timestamps:  2:23 - Mel shares the unexpected moment she saw a little girl in spirit after believing those experiences had stopped. 7:38 - Meeting the little girl in the playroom and realizing she was frightened and lost. 11:20 - Discovering the little girl drowned and unknowingly followed Margot home because she felt safe. 15:20 - Walking Eleanor toward the light and learning more about how she passed. 18:03 - The sky opens and Eleanor crosses into the light in one of Mel's most emotional mediumship experiences. 29:05 - Josh asks how Mel distinguishes loving energy from fearful energy. 35:10 - Can spirits become attached to objects?

    5: Nobody Talks About This: Sometimes You Outgrow the People You Love

    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.

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

    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 expect Connect with Mel on Instagram Book a Reading ($80 until June 1st)
