What’s it really like to live your life as a working medium? In this soulful and unscripted episode, I sit down with my dear friend and gifted colleague, Michelle Simmonds, for a soulful conversation on the real, raw, and often unseen sides of mediumship, from the inside out.

Michelle and I go way back in our spiritual journeys, and in this honest exchange, we pull back the curtain on:

✅ What it feels like to connect with spirit—emotionally, energetically, and physically
✅ The personal challenges, integrity checks, and growth edges that come with this work
✅ How our mediumship evolved over time, and what surprised us most
✅ Why our friendship has been a lifeline in the spiritual trenches
✅ The quiet beauty, power, and responsibility of this sacred calling

There’s no script, no polish—just two mediums sharing from the heart about our experiences with spirit and the transformational lessons that continue to shape us.

Whether you're an intuitive, a fellow practitioner, or just curious about what it means to walk between two worlds, this episode is a peek behind the veil you won’t want to miss.

In this heartfelt and awe-inspiring episode of Spirit Speakeasy, I’m sharing my own childhood experience of being rescued by what I now believe was an angel in human form—plus four other real-life stories that will open your heart and expand your view of what's possible.

🤍Whether you believe in angels, spirit guides, or divine interventions through human vessels, these stories remind us that we are never truly alone.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:
• My personal story of being rescued in a snowstorm at age 7
• A hospital nurse’s unforgettable second encounter with the same angel
• A soulful train conversation with “Angelo Fortunato”—the “lucky angel”
• A mysterious voice that saved a child’s life at a backyard party
• And a quiet, unexplained nudge that prevented a house fire

🤍 If you’ve ever wondered whether angels walk among us—or if you’ve had a moment you still can’t explain—this episode will speak to something deep within you.

🤍These aren’t just miracle stories—they’re soul stories. Quiet reminders that love, help, and grace can appear when we need them most.
