The Signal - Energy Forecast for the month ahead
OMG it’s happening! My very first newsletter for you all. I’m so excited to bring this to you and I’m so excited to build this community in a new way.
Each newsletter will be sent out the first Sunday of the month and brings with it the energies that I am picking up for the month to come and things to look out for in addition to stories from my journey as a medium. Things that I love, grief stories and lessons from clients (anonymous!), intuition and mediumship teachings, and early news about new offerings (pssst I’m starting a podcast in 2026! YES!)
If you enjoyed this newsletter, reply to this email and let me know! And if you have questions you want answers to, send them my way. The answer may show up in the next newsletter!
The New Year of 2026. January impressions.
The energy right now is demanding we go inward. While January is typically marketed as a time of conquering and accomplishment, the signal I’m picking up is that we are entering this month feeling battle weary.
I feel a shadow of doubt creeping in for many of you—a sense that your goals are just out of reach, or that the path behind you is littered with broken promises. If you feel like you have been "fighting the good fight" but are currently stuck in the mud, the advice to "just keep pushing" probably feels like garbage right now.
Your instinct to turn inward and let the world wash over you is valid.
This is not a time for force; it is a time for BREATH and RECALIBRATION. The "Winter" energy isn't a punishment; it's a womb. It's where the new version of you gestates in the dark.
And while it may feel dark, know that the light coming for you is going to guide you to a new path. One of wisdom and strength where you can feel your inner knowings guiding you to a better place. And I know you have felt the glimmers of this other light. It has been fleeting, but it is very real. Trust your instincts and know that brighter guidance is coming your way. About the 3rd week in January you should feel a greater sense of knowing. A grounding that you haven’t felt in a long time. Take advantage of this and do not doubt that feeling! Pushing that away is what keeps you stuck. Spirit believes in you and wants you to believe in yourself.
The Protocol: A Ritual for Release
Before we rush into the "New Year, New Me" frenzy, we need to clear the deck.
1. The Burn Take time this week to write down everything you wanted but didn't receive in 2025.
Then, burn it (safely, please!).
The Truth: That role, that outcome, that relationship—it was not meant to be fulfilled in the old timeline. The struggle of last year was forging a new path, and it was WORTH IT. Now you know what you do not want.
2. The Micro-Shift (Starting 3rd Week of Jan) Do not overhaul your life the beginning of January. Wait. The energy won't be ready until mid-January.
The Plan: Commit to ONE thing that is small but feels expansive.
My Recommendation: Five Minutes of Breath.
Set an alarm for 5 minutes before you leave the house or get out of bed.
Place your right hand on your heart.
Breathe. Deep chest and belly breath. Slow in, slow out.
Allow the emotions to be what they are. No fixing. Just feeling.
Then, go about your day.
Let go of the resentment that no longer serves. Look forward to the new you that is emerging from the dark.
Know that you are loved.

THE DOWNLOAD: Why "Transmission"?
Hello and welcome to the Sunday Soul Transmission! A monthly newsletter from me and my guides.
If we haven’t met properly yet or it’s been a while since we’ve had a reading or you’ve attended one of my Spirit Messages events, allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Melissa Kincaid. By day, I navigate the high-stakes corporate world (yes, spreadsheets and all). By design, I am an evidential psychic medium who talks to your soul and the soul of your loved ones in spirit.
For a long time, I kept those two worlds separate. I thought I had to be "Corporate Melissa" in the office and "Spiritual Melissa" in the sanctuary. But the truth is, we are all living in the in-between. We are all trying to manage our calendars and our souls. We are all looking for a signal in the noise to bring us closer to ourselves. To live authentically. To touch the lives of others and live with peace and joy and connection.
That is why I created The Sunday Soul Transmission.
This isn't just another newsletter. This is a monthly checkpoint to help you align your Vision, raise your Vibration, and find your Voice.
On the first Sunday of the month, I’ll share:
Real Talk: Honest stories about navigating intuition in a logical world. How to navigate grief, and connect with yourself and your loved ones in a healing and grounded way.
Tools: Practical ways to protect your energy (without moving to a cave).
Updates: First access to my podcast Soul Signals, private readings and events, and the upcoming Kincaid Academy to learn intuition, psychic mediumship connections, and more.
I am building something big here—a community for the "Corporate Mystics," the skeptics, the stay at home parents, and the seekers who want results, not just fluff. I am honored you are here at the ground floor. Your attention and energy are honored and respected here!

Intuition Exercise
Feeling out of sorts and don’t know when it’s your intuition talking to you?
The "Body Compass" Check
When you can't tell if it's Fear or Knowing.
1. The Setup: Stand up straight, feet hip-width apart. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths, exhaling longer than you inhale to signal safety to your nervous system.
2. Calibrate "Yes": Ask your body: "Show me a Yes." Bring to mind something you absolutely love (a pet, a favorite place, a safe person). Notice how your body subtly sways. usually, it leans forward or feels expansive/light. That is your "Yes" signal.
3. Calibrate "No": Ask your body: "Show me a No." Bring to mind something you dislike (a gross food, a traffic jam). Notice the shift. usually, the body sways backward, tightens, or feels heavy. That is your "No" signal.
4. The Test: Now, ask the question you are confused about (e.g., "Is this new job right for me?"). Don't think about the answer. Just wait for the sway.
Forward/Light: It’s Intuition saying Go.
Backward/Heavy: It’s Intuition saying Stop.
Static/Buzzing: It’s Anxiety or "Not Yet." (Ask again later).
Why this works: Your cognitive brain can lie to you with logic. Your physical body (the antenna) cannot. It reacts to energy instantly.
