• From Terrifying Visions to Pure Joy: Her NDE Revealed What Happens After We Die | Kathy McDaniel (Episode 188) 25.06.2026 1t 16min

  Kathy (M.K.) McDaniel had a near-death experience while in a medically-induced coma from severe pneumonia. What she witnessed during those moments of clinical death challenges everything we think we know about consciousness and what happens after we die. Her experience included terrifying visions followed by profound joy, providing compelling evidence that awareness continues beyond physical death. Kathy was raised Catholic and believed everything she was taught about the afterlife, including concepts of purgatory and hell. When she fell critically ill in Seattle, she was put into a drug-induced coma with only a 38 percent chance of survival. During that coma, she had an extensive near-death experience that lasted what felt like years. She witnessed dark, disturbing scenes and confusing scenarios. But the experience shifted dramatically, revealing something that transformed her entire understanding of existence. What makes Kathy's case compelling is the contrast between the terrifying visions and the profound joy that followed. She describes the experience in her book Misfit in Hell to Heaven. Her story raises important questions about consciousness, the nature of the afterlife, and whether our beliefs shape our experiences when we die. Kathy shares details about what she witnessed, why she thinks her experience began the way it did, and what the joyful portion revealed about survival of consciousness and the reality of life after death.

• Solving Cold Cases + Advising CEOs: How Psychic Abilities Guide High-Stakes Decisions | Elizabeth Rea (Episode 187) 18.06.2026 1t 32min

  Elizabeth Rea uses psychic abilities to advise CEOs and founders on high-stakes decisions, and previously worked with US federal agents solving cold murder cases. She's the founder of Insightful, where she provides expanded intelligence to help leaders make clearer decisions in complex business environments. Her work spans solving unsolved murders and guiding executives toward better outcomes. Rea had a near-death experience at 16 in a McDonald's bathroom. During the incident, she watched from outside her body as a nurse checked her pulse on a white Timex watch. She could hear people's thoughts and feel their emotions. That experience revealed to her that consciousness exists independently of the physical body. Her ability to access this expanded intelligence later helped solve a cold murder case in a Napa Valley tavern that had been unsolved for 20 years. She saw a man with dirty blonde hair and a white T-shirt, and visualized an old Cadillac with a tail fin. Thirty days after sharing these details, DNA evidence identified the murderer serving time in a Colorado prison. He had stolen the exact white Cadillac she described. Now Rea works confidentially with ethical founders, CEOs, and investors worldwide. Her clients seek her out for clarity, sharper decision-making, and understanding the forces at play in complex situations. She discusses how the CIA has infiltrated psychic programs and why government agencies continue using psychic abilities despite public denial.

• Phone Calls From the Dead: A Parapsychology Professor Explains Unexplained Cases | Callum E. Cooper, PhD (Episode 186) 11.06.2026 1t 23min

  Professor Callum E. Cooper, PhD has spent two decades researching parapsychology and haunting cases with scientific rigor. His research covers out-of-body experiences, phone calls from the dead, mediumship cases, and death bed apparitions. Unlike the dismissal of paranormal research as woo, his work is grounded in psychology, statistics, and field investigation. He holds PhDs in social sciences, serves on the council of the Society for Psychical Research, and has written multiple books providing evidence that challenges conventional explanations. Cooper studied classic haunting cases like the Cheltenham Ghost, where an apparition appeared repeatedly and could be tracked through a house. Researchers could experiment with it, follow it, and document its behavior over time. The apparition cast shadows, was seen from windows, and left questions that remain unexplained even today. He investigated Dr. Alex Tanous, who was tested for 20 years for out-of-body experiences. During experiments, strain gages were activated when Tannis performed well on remote viewing tasks. He achieved remarkable statistical outcomes describing objects in distant rooms through optical illusion devices. Cooper's work includes phone calls from the deceased and the living, mediumship cases with verified details, and Gansfeld experiments showing statistically significant results in extrasensory perception research. Even skeptics acknowledge the statistical outcomes from Gansfeld studies are more replicated than expected in psychology. His approach separates genuine unexplained phenomena from hoaxes and hallucinations through rigorous analysis. Liz and Professor Cooper discuss his most compelling cases, what remains unexplained in parapsychology research, how logical thinking supports rather than dismisses paranormal evidence, and what his research reveals about consciousness, death, and afterlife.

• He Died. Was Put into a Body Bag. Came Back to Tell. | Vincent (Vinney) Tolman (Episode 185) 04.06.2026 1t 31min

  Vincent (Vinney) Tolman died in 2003 in a Dairy Queen bathroom after taking an accidental overdose of a supplement. Clinically dead, he was bagged and transported to a medical examiner. A rookie medic broke protocol and resuscitated him. What makes his case compelling: while clinically dead, Vinney had verifiable experiences that challenge our understanding of consciousness  and what happens when we die.   While his body lay dead in a bathroom, Vinney's consciousness watched from outside his body. He observed paramedics attempting resuscitation, watched his body being bagged, saw the ambulance, and witnessed specific medical procedures including defibrillation shocks. He watched his arm being strapped down in the ICU. When he reconnected with his body, he could verify details he had no way of knowing while unconscious. He also had some remarkable and transformational experiences in a non physical dimension. Including some people and beings he met there, which later provided shocking evidence that something very real was going on.   Vinney's case included observable elements that corroborate his account. He describes what he saw while dead, what was verifiable, and what this suggests about consciousness continuing after brain death. This is a documented case of someone who experienced verifiable events while clinically dead, providing evidence that consciousness may exist independently of brain function.

• Finding Treasure and Missing Objects with Remote Viewing | Debra Lynne Katz, PhD (Episode 184) 28.05.2026 1t 39min

  Dr. Debra Lynne Katz uses remote viewing to find missing people, predict future outcomes, and locate lost objects. She's founder of the International School of Clairvoyance and former president of the International Remote Viewing Association, a practicing clairvoyant, medium, and parapsychological researcher. Remote viewing isn't what you think. Clients hire Dr. Katz to predict crypto and stock movements, find missing jewelry and pets, hunt buried treasure, and locate missing people. She worked with police on a case where a two-year-old boy went missing in Oregon. She described the location matching where his body was found in the river. Dr. Katz discovered her psychic abilities at 27 after realizing she and her identical twin sister had lifelong synchronicities. What started as personal practice became a mission teaching others that psychic abilities aren't rare. Everyone can develop them. But here's what's surprising: even the most celebrated remote viewers sometimes hit and sometimes miss. Dr. Katz spent years researching why performance varies. Her studies reveal consistency problems nobody talks about. When she had judges re-score hundreds of sessions, ratings ranged from 3 to 6.5 on the same session. This led her to explore AI judging for reliability humans can't achieve. Liz and Dr. Katz discuss retrocausality, the theory that future events impact the present, why remote viewing becomes addictive, and her groundbreaking research on remote viewing viruses and using AI to analyze psychic data.

• Our Minds Affect Machines - The Global Consciousness Project | Roger Nelson, PhD (Episode 183) 21.05.2026 1t 21min

  Dr. Roger Nelson, founder of the Global Consciousness Project, shares how random number generators placed around the world respond when millions of people focus on major events like 9/11, elections, and celebrity deaths. Dr. Nelson started at Princeton University's Engineering Anomalies Research Lab studying whether human consciousness could affect sensitive electronic equipment. They found 15% of people could change random number generator behavior through intention alone. People who could do it were free of conditioning that says you can't. The effects were tiny but accumulated over years of data collection. This led Dr. Nelson to create the Global Consciousness Project in 1997. He placed random number generators around the world to see if major global events would affect them when millions share the same emotional state. The network started with 3 devices and grew to 60-70 by the end of the formal experiment. GCP 2.0 now has 1600 random number generators sending data to cloud servers. The results were undeniable. Across 500 events, the data showed a seven sigma deviation with odds of three parts in a trillion against chance. But what shocked researchers most was the timing. On 9/11, changes started four hours before the first plane hit. Major earthquakes showed patterns eight hours before they struck. Dr. Nelson's explanation: the global mind had premonitions. Liz and Dr. Nelson discuss why random number generators are vulnerable to consciousness when other devices aren't, what the noise problem means for interpreting results, and why some elections produced strong effects while others showed nothing at all.

• Detective + Psychic Medium Team Up and Solve Cases | Kirsten Hathcock + Mark Pucci (Episode 182) 13.05.2026 1t 23min

  Retired NYPD detective Mark Pucci and psychic medium Kiersten Hathcock share how they've partnered for over a decade solving cold cases and finding missing people when police departments gave up. Kiersten, an entrepreneur who had appeared on Shark Tank, was shocked when she got contacted by a boy who had passed away. She was even more shocked when what she got was verified. Her scientific brain tried explaining everything away until she started physically seeing deceased people. Mark was working a missing person case when the widow asked if he'd talk to a medium in Arizona. He said absolutely. When they met at a New York City restaurant and compared notes, Kiersten's information matched his investigation in ways she couldn't have known. One morning Kiersten called Mark at 4am sensing he was in danger, with a warning that possibly saved his life. What happened next changed the entire trajectory of the case. Liz, Mark, and Kiersten discuss how Mark validates psychic information, what it feels like for Kiersten to receive messages from the deceased versus the living, how they've worked on cases ranging from missing indigenous women to homicides misclassified as suicides. They explain story and meaning behinbd the non-profit they cofounded, the National Institute for Law and Justice.

• Her Dying Mom Had Visions of the Other Side. She Wrote About It. | Dorie Pickle (Episode 181) 30.04.2026 1t 10min

  Dorie Pickle, author of Dawn: A Fresh Perspective on Life, Death and the Other Side, shares how her mom Carly had vivid dreams and visions in her final days that revealed specific details about the afterlife, and made Dorie promise to write a book about what she was seeing. Carly spent 40 years battling kidney disease. When she was hospitalized for pneumonia, something shifted. She started telling everyone who came into her hospital room about what she was witnessing. She told Dorie "I am staring death in the face right now" and described things about our journey and existence that she'd never known before. She explained details about levels and structures that exist on the other side that we can't see from here. Then Carly had a vivid dream about buying and reading a book in an airport bookstore that described everything she was experiencing. She and Dorie spent two hours trying to find this book online. It didn't exist. Carly turned to Dorie and said "then you have to write it." She made Dorie promise she would. Dorie shares some of the hundreds of signs she's received from her mom since her passing, why she stopped drinking alcohol to connect with her mom more in dreams and how it worked, and what her mom's visions revealed about the journey we're all on. Liz and Dorie discuss music as a conduit to the other side and why creativity might be essential to understanding life after death and our meaning in this life.  Guest: Dorie Pickle Book: Dawn  Website: https://dawnthebook.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠ |Patreon | Buy me a coffee More at: https://www.wtfjusthappened.net/ Full Show Notes
• His Life Changed When His Dad Woke Up from Dementia for Two Days | Dan Cohen (Episode 180) 22.04.2026 54min

  Dan Cohen, host of Awakenings in Real Life podcast and author, shares how his father had a two-day awakening from severe dementia after pneumonia treatment, becoming 90% himself again and delivering a message that changed how Dan views consciousness and what dementia patients might still understand. Dan's father developed dementia after a stroke at 75 and progressed through all seven stages over 10 years. He became nonverbal, incontinent, needed help with everything, had no short term memory. Then in 2015, after antibiotics and steroids for pneumonia, something unexpected happened. For two days, he became himself again. He recalled specific details about his grandchildren's lives that happened during his dementia. He had conversations nobody thought possible. He asked for things he hadn't asked for in a decade. Dan's brother videotaped him toward the end of those two days and asked what he was happy about. His father's answer became the foundation for Dan's entire mission. This wasn't terminal lucidity since it happened eight months before death, not hours or days. No medical explanation exists. Dan's brother, a doctor, searched for answers but colleagues and neurologists had never seen this in 30 years of practice. Dan shares the profound lessons of acceptance and inclusion for dementia patients, how small acts of kindness can transform lives, and why we should give living eulogies. Liz and Dan discuss whether consciousness might be less dependent on the brain than we've been raised to believe and what this awakening might mean for our understanding of awareness during dementia.

• Psychic Teacher on Extraterrestrials and Do Trans Souls Choose Gender | Victoria Pippo (Episode 179) 14.04.2026 1t 20min

  Victoria Pippo, psychic development teacher and founder of Sovereign Healer school, shares how she channels extraterrestrials from multiple dimensions, why souls choose their gender across lifetimes, and the grounding practices that prevent spiritual psychosis. Victoria's psychic journey began when her grandfather came through in meditation with the unmistakable scent of campfire and went to verify if this checked out. Soon she was channeling interdimensional beings including extraterrestrials who revealed their origins and why they're fascinated by Earth's evolution. She explains how most humans carry hybrid extraterrestrial DNA, what different dimensions actually mean, and why lower dimensional entities feed off human trauma. Her fiancé Hayden met Victoria as a woman, then transitioned to male a year into their relationship. Through past life regression, Hayden researched his gender and roles in previous lives to better undestand why he came as a woman this time. This lifetime, he chose to incarnate as female for 25 years before finding his truth at exactly age 25, which ended up being signifcant. Victoria shares how souls make conscious choices about gender expression across multiple lifetimes and Liz and Victoria disciss the research showing why children may be remembering past life gender when they insist they're different from their assigned sex.   Victoria explains how sheteaches the four spiritual hygiene practices, grounding, shielding, protecting, and cleansing, that allow psychics to discern truth from projection without losing connection to physical reality.   Guest: Victoria Pippo Website: https://victoriapippoinc.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠ |Patreon | Buy me a coffee More at: https://www.wtfjusthappened.net/ Full Show Notes
• Her Son Died + Taught Her a System to Talk to Him Daily | Kim Hodous (Episode 178) 07.04.2026 1t 17min

  ⁠⁠⁠ Kim Hodous, happiness speaker and author of Beyond Grief, shares how she connects daily with her son Rob through automatic writing after losing him at 29, the profound messages he shares about the other side, and the system he gave her to teach other mothers to connect with their children who have passed. After losing her daughter Chelsea to leukemia 30 years ago and receiving white rock signs everywhere she went, Kim was a happiness speaker for 15 years when she got the devastating call that Rob had died. That night in a hotel room stranded in a snowstorm, Rob came through apologizing and saying he was embarrassed. A month later, her psychic friend told her to open her computer the next morning and he'd be there. Kim started typing and Rob's words poured through, and he hasn't stopped communicating since. Rob shared that the greatest relief was being free from torment, that love is all there is on the other side, and everyone has equal access to the light regardless of what they did in life. He explained he can be in multiple places instantly, that Chelsea reincarnated but her eternal soul remains available, and he's been helping souls cross over including children from the Uvalde shooting. He revealed he pushed Kim's car into a tree and broke her friend Donna's leg in Italy because both would have died otherwise, demonstrating how inconvenient events often save us from worse outcomes. A year after his death, Rob came to Kim in a waking dream more real than physical reality to give her one last hug and deliver news that he was giving her a system called OSCAR to teach other mothers to connect with their children. Kim explains anyone can do automatic writing without being psychic or a medium, and our loved ones are banging on the veil waiting to communicate.

• A 2-Year Spiritually Transformative Experience: Seeing Light in Everyone | Rebecca Kastl (Episode 177) 31.03.2026 1t 22min

  Rebecca Kastl, pediatric speech pathologist and healer, shares her profound two-year spiritually transformative experience that began when she had a spontaneous spiritual awakening while journaling at age 26. After surviving sexual trauma at 13 and spending years healing, Rebecca saw a beautiful light over her bed that looked into her heart, spoke to her, and changed everything. For the next two years, Rebecca saw glowing white light emanating from every person she encountered, had psychic dreams that accurately predicted a car accident and carbon monoxide poisoning with verifiable details, witnessed alternate timelines of her life, experienced a spontaneous life review feeling her sister's emotions in her body, and sensed the eclipse's energy physically. She remained fully functional as a Columbia graduate student while living between two worlds, until a vivid dream ended the experience and left her searching for meaning in the woods for years. Rebecca explains the difference between her soul and personality, why language for these experiences is limited by societal upbringing, how trauma opened her to spiritual reality despite being raised by an MD father with a PhD in biochemistry and a psychologist mother, what it means to see light in everyone, and why she now offers sacred soul sessions helping others heal and reconnect with their inner light.

• How Manifesting Transformed a Homeless Addict Into a Thriving Entrepreneur | Betty Guadagno (Bonus) 26.03.2026 51min

  Betty Guadagno, former homeless addict turned manifesting teacher, reveals how she used the Law of Attraction to rebuild her life from rock bottom and shares practical techniques for manifesting money, relationships, and abundance. Betty shares her transformation from drug addiction, homelessness, and prostitution to becoming a manifesting workshop leader after a life-changing near death experience. She explains why manifesting is not toxic positivity or bypassing real emotions, the difference between manifesting and mindset, and how the universe works as an echo chamber responding to your vibration. Betty breaks down the chakra system and which affirmations work best for different goals (I am, I feel, I have, I love, I speak, I see, I know), why money is the energy of love and not evil, and how to dismantle poverty consciousness and limiting beliefs around wealth. We discuss her concrete manifestation story of manifesting her first apartment with the exact amount needed appearing in her tax return, why you cannot fake your vibes or trick the universe, how to start with small manifestations like a Snickers bar to build confidence, the importance of taking action alongside visualization, why detachment from outcome is essential, and how rejection is redirection to something better. Betty explains why fear blocks manifestation, how to identify which chakra to use for affirmations, the power of writing things down with a pen, and why your romantic partners are spiritual mirrors showing you your own wounds.

• What a Paranormal Investigator Discovered After His Own Near Death Experience | AJ Capasso (Episode 176) 24.03.2026 1t 7min

  AJ Capasso, paranormal investigator and near death experiencer, shares his journey from opioid addiction and 12 overdoses to founding an international paranormal podcast and investigating the mysteries of the afterlife. AJ survived a profound near death experience after his final overdose in 2014 during the opioid epidemic. He describes leaving his body, standing above two paramedics working on him, and being able to simultaneously exist in multiple places just by thought. He experienced a life review where he felt the pain he caused others through their eyes, traveled through hyperspace passing stars, and arrived at a vibrant landscape with colors he'd never seen, extinct animals like wooly mammoths, creatures that don't exist on Earth, and angels of all different sizes. A being of pure light 9-10 feet tall told him it wasn't his time before he was pulled back into his body when paramedics used the paddles.   After his NDE, AJ developed abilities to feel energy and presences in rooms, sense what people were feeling (hunger, anger, sadness), and feel crystals vibrating in his hand. He founded Coventry Circle Paranormal and launched Talking with the Source, an international podcast featuring paranormal teams, researchers, and experiencers from around the world. His most mind-blowing evidence includes a spirit box session where his friend's deceased wife predicted a future Mother's Day event six weeks in advance with impossible accuracy, and another session predicting a blood disease diagnosis two days before doctors discovered it.   Guest: AJ Capasso  Podcast Host and Founder of Talking with the Source + Paranormal Investigator  https://linktr.ee/talkingwiththesource ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠ |Patreon | Buy me a coffeeMore at: https://www.wtfjusthappened.net/ Full Show Notes

• Neuroscientist on Life After Death and Intuition | Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D. (Episode 175) 17.03.2026 1t 11min

  Marjorie Woollacott, PhD, a neuroscientist and emeritus professor at the University of Oregon, shares her journey from materialist scientist to consciousness researcher and her work on telepathy in children with nonspeaking autism, terminal lucidity, and near death experiences. Dr. Woollacott was a strict materialist who believed the brain creates consciousness until a meditation initiation changed everything. She describes feeling a current of electricity flow from her forehead to her heart, radiating pure joy and love throughout her body. Her worldview shifted overnight, though it took 25 years to integrate her neuroscience career with her meditation practice. She explains how she lived a double life, kicking her husband under the table at dinner parties when he'd mention energy healing, terrified of losing credibility with colleagues. We discuss her research on telepathy in nonspeaking autistic children, including a boy who typed five digit numbers with 99% accuracy by reading his mother's mind (compared to 5% above chance in typical adults). She addresses skeptics' concerns about agency and facilitated communication, explaining the rigorous controls in current studies. Dr. Woollacott shares her work on terminal lucidity, where people with severe dementia or brain damage regain full consciousness in their final hours, recognizing loved ones and saying goodbye before dying peacefully. She describes how this phenomenon challenges materialist neuroscience since damaged brains should not produce lucid consciousness.   The conversation covers Dr. Bettina Peyton's near death experience during childbirth when her heart stopped and she watched the resuscitation team save her life despite having her eyes taped shut. Marjorie explains how meditation and NDEs reduce neural filters (the default mode network, reticular activating system, language centers) that normally limit our awareness, allowing expanded consciousness and psi abilities. She discusses Ian Stevenson's reincarnation research, birthmark cases that match past life wounds, and why consciousness creating the body makes more sense than genes alone.

• Develop Your Psychic Abilities Through Fun + Competition | Hakim Isler, Psi Games Creator (Episode 174) 03.03.2026 1t 18min

  Hakim Isler, creator of the Psi Games, reveals how anyone can develop psychic abilities through competitive training and why the next generation holds the key to humanity's evolution. Hakim shares his journey from ninja martial arts (ninjutsu, the art of perseverance) to military psychological operations, then remote viewing and Mindsight training with legendary remote viewers Paul Smith, Joe McMoneagle, and Dale Graff. He explains the difference between remote viewing (perceiving information at a distance) and Mindsight (seeing through blindfolds), why his best remote viewing happened when stressed and rushed (not calm and meditative), and Ingo Swann's principle: "You should be able to remote view in a foxhole." We discuss the Psi Games, a cross-generational conference featuring lectures, workshops, and tournament-style competitions in remote viewing, dowsing, and Mindsight. Hakim describes Dahlia's perfect Mindsight run in under one minute that earned a standing ovation and inspired hundreds to start training, and how the event grew from 100 to 620 attendees in year one. The conversation covers Hakim's childhood experiences (walking at eight months as a sign for his mother to leave abuse, predicting lottery numbers at nine, declaring he'd become a ninja and fulfilling that prophecy 12 years later), his out-of-body experience receiving messages about protecting planets from low vibrational entities, why ethical mentorship matters for young people developing psi abilities, and his palm leaf reading confirming past life experiences. This episode is for anyone interested in developing psychic abilities, parents noticing unusual abilities in children, or those seeking practical psi training.

• Your Pet Is Trying to Talk to You… Here's How to Listen | Animal Communicator Olivia LaBarre (Episode 173) 25.02.2026 1t 10min

  Olivia LaBarre, animal communicator and Reiki practitioner, reveals how animals communicate with us—both while living and after they've passed. She explains how she receives messages from animals (visual images, physical sensations, emotions, and "just knowing"), why animal communication comes more clearly than human mediumship, and how wild animals communicate differently than companion animals. Olivia shares remarkable verified readings: Tinkerbelle the cat who sent circus tent images (her guardian had a circus tent tattoo, photo sets, and passed them daily going to cancer treatments), and a cat in spirit who promised to send another cat to the yard—then a mountain lion appeared, made eye contact, groomed itself, and visited for days. We also discuss Enzo, the spirited white dog with congestive heart failure who told his grieving family to stop anticipatory mourning and have fun together—leading to the best summer of their lives before he peacefully transitioned on his 15th gotcha day anniversary. The conversation covers how animals understand death and aren't afraid of it, why they're okay with you getting new pets after they pass (and often help you find them), whether our deceased animals are together on the other side, signs from animals in spirit, and practical tips for communicating with your own pets. Olivia also explains Reiki for animals, how it's helped cats with congestive heart failure improve unexpectedly, and the beautiful experience of being energetically connected with animals as they transition (sparkles, bright colors, feelings of freedom). This episode is for anyone grieving a pet, wanting to communicate with living or deceased animals, or curious about the bond that transcends death.

• Amplify Your Intuition at The Omega Institute | Karen Bell, Channeler + Clairvoyant 19.02.2026 28min

  Karen Bell, internationally recognized clairvoyant and channeler, joins the show to discuss her upcoming Omega Institute workshop, Amplify Your Intuition: A Guided Journey to Trusting Your Inner Wisdom. She explains how to distinguish genuine intuitive guidance from protective anxiety patterns, why intuition manifests differently for different people (visual, auditory, or physical sensations), and why reducing stress is essential for accessing clear decision-making. Karen shares her story of closing a successful Etsy shop to follow an illogical nudge that led to channeling Sarai, a non-physical being who now informs her teaching. We discuss how intuition feels persistent and gentle (unlike urgent fear-based thoughts), why your body is a psychic instrument that constantly signals what feels aligned, and how to create calm in your nervous system to hear your inner wisdom clearly. The conversation covers practical tools for recognizing your unique intuitive voice, why people get stuck not in receiving guidance but in trusting and acting on it, and who should attend the workshop (anyone who overthinks, second-guesses, or struggles to take action on their guidance). This episode is for anyone navigating major life transitions, questioning career or relationships, feeling disconnected from their intuition, or wanting to develop a deeper relationship with their inner knowing.
