Meet Nancy Mello

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Nancy Mello . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Nancy below.

Nancy, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

I have felt like the odd-person out ever since I can remember. I didn’t, “fit” no matter how hard I tried to be like everyone else. It led to major depression and anxiety, and it felt like a never-ending revolving door of therapists and psychiatrists trying to diagnose me and figure me out. It felt like I had the worst luck in the World. If something could happen- it happened to me. This included various types of abuse, setbacks, and loss. It was a string of tragedies that would have made some great country songs. Every single time something else happened, all I could ask is, “why?” Why couldn’t I just live within the lines and blend in like everyone else? After an early, “starter marriage” in my early twenties, I divorced and married a member of the U.S. Military, becoming a proud military spouse. My string of seemingly bad-luck continued, but this time it felt like I was dragging someone else along. After the loss of our daughter at birth and my own health issues, our marriage limped along- with what felt destined for another ending.
In my mid-thirties, I seriously contemplated un-aliving myself. This wasn’t my first time thinking it, but it would be my last. I sat in my car, and yelled at nothingness, “WHY?” and the answer came: You can chose to end everything right now- or you can trust your own intuition, and your gut. I realized if I could help one person or one pet, that the abilities I had (being a psychic medium/animal communicator/clairvoyant) would be worth the lifelong shame I had felt.
It has only been through the service of others since then, that I truly feel I am supposed to here. My abilities are a true calling, and I will be helping people for the rest of my life.
My husband and I celebrated sixteen years of marriage in June 2024, stronger than ever.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I am an animal communicator and evidential medium and clairvoyant that resides in Mystic, Connecticut. I have helped find over 150 pets since 2020. I specialize in end of life/hospice care for pets where I allow the pet to speak for themselves and include their final wants and wishes, as well as their, “bucket list.” I enjoy the, “ah-ha” moment of a session when working with living and passed pets- the part where it is evident that I am speaking to your pet with information there is no way I could know. I love connecting with passed loved ones, especially when they show me their pets!
I have 450 five-star reviews on Google, and have been featured in the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Tribune. I have been interviewed Fox News, CNN underscored, and Cheddar News. I recently started a podcast, “Creature Preacher” that allows you to listen to real-life sessions, available on all podcast networks.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The three most important qualities that have been impactful on my journey are trusting my own intuition, allowing life and the Universe to flow, and understanding that hard times allow deeper empathy, compassion, and connection with others.
It is only through these three things that I am able to be of the best service to others. The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone is to let go of trying to control. your life. I give my clients the example of a roller coaster. When you are going up in a roller coaster, some people grip on for dear life. Others hold their hands up. Either way, you are going to down on the track- it’s how you face it. Put your hands up in the air (physically or in your mind!) when you feel yourself trying to control what is ahead or feel yourself getting anxious. Understand that the Universe (the roller coaster track) will guide you along.

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?

I still struggle with imposter syndrome. I will pull out a name of a passed person or pet during a session (that there is no way I could have known!) and I still surprise myself. When I get a five-star review or I am mentioned somewhere, I almost always want to look around me for who they are talking about. I still see myself as this dorky, awkward, girl that doesn’t have any friends. I use humor to diffuse these feelings- but they are very real.
I’ve been seeing a therapist for over a year now. It is online and before we chatted the first time, I messaged her to let her know what I did for a living. I was afraid of rejection, but I also wanted to make sure she would be accepting of me so I could start accepting myself. My therapist gives me mantras almost every week to say when I am feeling awkward or unworthy. One of my favorites is, “It’s going to be hard whether you avoid something or not, so you might as well do it.” I find it helpful when I am avoiding my own feelings.
