In this raw and honest episode of Eleven Intuitions, Melissa Ainslie shares the story of how her spiritual gift was born out of heartbreak. After the passing of her mother, Melissa was pulled into a season of deep grief, disassociation, and a breaking point that nearly cost her everything. But in the middle of pain, Spirit showed up — not in the ways she expected, but in the ways she needed.

From failed attempts to connect in mediumship classes, to her first unexpected encounter with Spirit on a work trip, Melissa opens up about how loss became the doorway to her gift. This episode is about grief, resilience, and the surprising ways Spirit finds us when we think we’re lost.

I thought nightlights were for kids… until I realized mine was for ghosts.

In this first episode of Eleven Intuitions, founder and certified spirit medium Melissa Ainslie shares the pivotal moments that shaped her path — from growing up with a glowing bulb in the corner, to feeling the weight of a haunted TB hospital she never even entered, to the Queen Mary flashbacks that sent her straight to her doctor.

We’ll talk ghosts, lingering energy, and what happens when you bring “souvenirs” home from haunted places without knowing it. And yes… her closet really did need a nightlight.
