What if the challenges you're facing today were lessons your soul chose before you were even born? And what if anyone could learn to connect with loved ones who have passed? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Barbra Banner (Certified Psychic, Trance & Evidential Medium) shares the extraordinary story of how she unexpectedly became a medium during the pandemic, despite having no previous interest in psychic abilities or mediumship. After experiencing intense paranormal activity in her own home, her life changed forever. Barbra reveals how she discovered that her gifts run in her family, how her loved ones reacted to her transformation, and how she learned to raise her vibration to connect with Spirit and deliver healing messages from deceased loved ones to help clients find comfort and peace after loss. She also explains why she believes intuition may actually be Spirit communicating with us, why Spirit often speaks through symbolism instead of words, and how anyone can strengthen their own connection with loved ones on the other side. You'll also hear her powerful perspective on "Earth School" - the belief that our souls choose certain life lessons and challenges before coming into this lifetime - and why understanding your soul contract can completely change how you view suffering, purpose, and personal growth. Barbra discusses what it's really like to channel someone you had a difficult or contentious relationship with during life, why she believes there are only 3 emotions experienced on the other side—love, gratitude, and joy—and why mediumship and after-death communication are becoming more accepted around the world. She also shares how years of volunteering on crisis hotlines unknowingly prepared her to develop her mediumship, why belief often precedes spiritual experiences, and offers thoughtful advice for skeptics who are curious but unsure what to believe. Whether you're interested in mediumship, psychic phenomena, intuition, spirituality, life after death, near death experiences, consciousness, or connecting with deceased loved ones, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at one woman's remarkable journey! --- --- They can't harm you, if they can't find you!
