What if spirit guides are not far away, but already communicating through signs, intuition, dreams, synchronicities, and the quiet moments when you feel supported?

In this episode of The Curious Soul, Cristina Malavenda and Marty Go sit down with trance medium, spiritual teacher, life coach, and Spirit House Collective founder Aja Daashuur to explore spirit guides, mediumship, intuition, energetic protection, and what it means to build a grounded relationship with the unseen.

Aja shares how she first experienced visitations as a child, why those early encounters felt terrifying, and how a difficult chapter in adulthood eventually led her back to meditation, healing, and the spiritual connection she had once shut down.

Then the door opened.

Aja opens up about the ceremony that changed her life, the moment she began hearing her guides outside of herself, and how automatic writing became one of the ways she learned to communicate with them.

Cristina, Marty, and Aja also explore what spirit guides are, how they may differ from loved ones who have passed, why different guides may step forward during different seasons of life, and how guidance can support our calling, purpose, healing, and everyday choices.

The conversation also expands into skepticism, surrender, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, energetic boundaries, black tourmaline, the importance of not leaving an "open door," and Aja's Spirit Guide Portal Oracle Deck, created with her husband Justin.

Whether you already feel connected to your guides, are skeptical but curious, or simply wonder how to recognize support from the other side, this conversation invites you to consider that you may be more guided than you realize.

You'll hear:

• What spirit guides are and how they may communicate
• Why Aja says we are never truly alone
• How childhood visitations shaped her spiritual path
• What happened during the ceremony that changed everything
• How Aja began hearing her guides and using automatic writing
• Why energetic protection and grounding matter
• How different guides may support different seasons of life
• Why curiosity, trust, and self-connection are part of the practice
