Today, Cindy Anderson and I discuss spirit guides, building a relationship with them, and addressing skepticism and trust in the process. The conversation delves into the challenges of revealing spiritual beliefs, the purpose and impact of spirit guide connection, teaching and guiding clients, on-demand communication with spirit guides, evolution of communication with spirit guides, innate communication abilities, challenges in religious and spiritual communities, healthy skepticism and self-defense, and connecting. We emphasize the normalization of innate communication abilities, societal influence and skepticism, and empowerment through healthy skepticism.

For more than a decade, Cindy Anderson has been intentionally investigating one fascinating question: "Can communication with a spirit guide become clear, reliable, and teachable?" Rather than asking people to simply believe, she developed a practical process built on observation, experimentation, and firsthand experience. She welcomes skeptics, encourages curiosity, and challenges audiences to discover what's possible through their own investigation.

She's the founder of Soulpiphany, creator of Your Spirit Guide on Speed Dial®, and today she's here to challenge what you think you know about intuition, guidance, and the decisions that shape your life.

In this episode, Sheri Perl shares her extraordinary journey from skepticism to becoming a spiritual healer and EVP researcher. She discusses her personal experiences with healing, connecting with loved ones in spirit, and the fascinating world of electronic voice phenomena.

Sheri Perl is a Spiritual Healer and Advisor, Interfaith Minister, published author, and EVP Researcher who has studied, practiced, and taught spiritual disciplines for more than 50 years.

At age 20, after becoming gravely ill, Sheri experienced what she describes as a miraculous distant healing from renowned British spiritual healer Harry Edwards, who later became her teacher and inspiration. This experience awakened her to the presence of spirit and set her on a lifelong path of healing and spiritual exploration.

Sheri’s work has touched thousands of lives around the world. She is the author of Healing From the Inside Out and The Outside In, which chronicles her journey from illness to health and presents her Self-Healing Program, and Lost and Found—A Mother Connects-Up With Her Son In Spirit, which shares her experience of connecting with her son after his passing.

Following the unexpected death of her son Danny in 2008, Sheri founded The Prayer Registry, a free service that directs prayers to deceased children on the anniversary of their passing. Her experiences with psychic mediums and communication with loved ones in spirit have become an important part of her bereavement work.

In 2016, Sheri began recording Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). She believes these recordings provide evidence of continued existence in spirit and has focused particularly on conversations between bereaved parents and their deceased children.

Sheri continues to teach and facilitate healing through her Distant Healing Prayer Circle, writing, speaking, and spiritual education. She has studied with influential spiritual teachers including Jane Roberts and Seth, bringing together diverse spiritual disciplines into her own unique approach to healing and connection.
