My Story:

In 2019, I had just left my corporate job after serving as an Inc. 500 award-winning business executive for over 25 years, and I started my own successful business as a Business Advisor to 7 and 8-figure CEOS.

I'd also been an energy medicine practitioner for over twenty years, but I kept my spiritual gifts in the closet because I feared my business colleagues would think I was crazy. Although I was skilled and successful in business development, my heart called me toward the spiritual arts. I answered that calling in small ways that allowed me to keep my spiritual gifts discreet, so I didn't ruin my well-respected business career.

In March of 2020, I was completing my professional certification training in psychology-based astrology. My astrology teacher was reviewing my birthchart with me when she said, "You're a medium - you have the ability to communicate with people on the Other Side". 

Up until that point, the only brush with after death communication was fifteen years earlier when I'd had a vivid dream from my grandfather who'd died when I was six years old. In this dream, he told me my grandmother (who was a mother to me) would be dying soon, but not to worry. Everything would be ok and he'd be there to greet her. I cried for days because that dream seemed so real. Two months later, my grandmother died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I thought the dream was just a coincidence.

The only other experience I had with mediumship is what I'd seen in Hollywood horror movies or TV shows about hauntings, which disturbed me.

My astrology teacher went on to explain how my birth chart clearly identified this gift of mediumship, and she gave me the name of a highly-respected teacher who helped mediums develop their skills. The teacher ended up being a woman I co-authored a book with ten years prior. 

I told her "Nope. Not interested in that at all!" 

While I felt comfortable communicating with a Higher Power (God to me), angels and spirit guides, I did not feel comfortable about the topic of communicating with people who had died, and I was skeptical about it.

I forgot about this conversation until May, 2020. I was in my office working on a client's business strategy when I had a strong, undeniable sense of my deceased grandmother being in the room with me. It took my breath away. She told me that death was coming to my family, and I freaked out. Suddenly, she was gone but the feeling and message she gave me remained. 

That evening, I cried while recounting the visitation from my grandmother with my husband (who did not believe in mediumship either). I didn't know which family member's upcoming death that my grandmother was referring to, but I told my husband that if it was my daughter, Keira, I would not survive that loss.

The dream I had about my grandmother's death that had come to fruition, along with my astrology teacher telling me that I'm a medium had me on edge. To make matters worse, we were at the beginning of the Covid pandemic.

Two months later, on July 3, 2020, my worst fear became a reality.

I began receiving signs from Keira, and although I knew they were from her, my mind wondered if I was making it up. I was skeptical, but I was willing to have an open mind. I wanted more proof that these signs really were from Keira, and I wanted more than anything to be connected with her. I contacted the woman my astrology teacher had told me about, and began studying evidential mediumship, which is the ability for a living person to communicate with those who've passed on to the "Other Side" and receive validating information that there's no way they could have known.

I resisted giving others who were grieving an evidential mediumship reading, but it was part of my training. I was astounded that I was able to connect with the deceased loved ones of people I was reading for, and bring forth evidential information that there was no way I could have known. It was the proof I was looking for, and confirmed that death is not the end, our loves ones in Spirit really are still with us, and there is more to life than what we see in the physical world. It proved to me that we really are a soul having a temporary experience in a human body.
