In this episode, hosts Carey Kaas, Lorenda Carr, and Michelle Oyler explore the depth and reality of shadow work — what it truly is, how it shows up, and why it becomes an essential part of spiritual and mediumship development.

Moving beyond the common misconceptions of “dark vs light,” this conversation brings a grounded and honest perspective to shadow work as a path of awareness, integration, and growth. Through personal experiences, client work, and teaching, the hosts share how shadow work naturally emerges on the spiritual path — often at moments of expansion, challenge, or transition.

Liminal Lounge Mediums: Episode 5 – Synchronicities

Join hosts Psychic Mediums Carey Kaas, Lorenda Carr, and Michelle Oyler as they explore the magical world of synchronicities — those meaningful moments when the universe seems to be speaking directly to you. This rich conversation covers personal stories of signs from spirit, the psychology behind pattern recognition, soul contracts and past life agreements, and how following synchronicities can radically transform your life. The hosts share their unique perspectives on how the universe communicates, how to ask for and recognize signs, and how synchronicity connects directly to manifestation and your soul's purpose.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Defining synchronicity: cosmic alignment, soul breadcrumbs, and "little winks" from spirit
• Lorenda's perspective: synchronicity as the universe aligning things on your soul's path
• Carrie's take: synchronicity as the "connective tissue" that opens and closes doors
• Michelle on synchronicity vs. coincidence and our connection to universal intelligence
• The psychology of synchronicity: frequency illusion, pattern recognition, and the reticular activating system
• How manifestation and focused intention amplify synchronistic experiences
• Asking spirit for specific signs and symbols — and the stories of when it worked
• The role of soul contracts, pre-birth planning, and past life agreements
• Lorenda's QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) sessions and clients who weren't following their soul's path
• How synchronicity feels when you're in flow — and how your soul signals when you're not
• The synchronistic story of how the three hosts came together to create this podcast
• Michelle's breathtaking story: selling their Camp Chesterfield home and buying Valerie's house
• Carrie's story: manifesting her husband and her father's final blessing from his deathbed
• Real-time synchronicity: Lorenda's tarot cards confirming the episode's themes before recording

Notable Quotes:

"When the time is right, everything will synchronize."

"You can't make that up."

"Follow the synchronicities, follow those signs, and nine times out of ten, the people that are listening — their lives do change."

"Our inner world shapes our outer world experience."

"Spirit told me to buy a book. I bought the book. A year later it was exactly what I needed."

"Stay in the flow. It's a way easier way to exist."

"Never have I ever more felt like this is exactly where I'm supposed to be."
