The wind carries whispers of a time long past, yet they echo in the souls of those who walk the earth today. On today’s episode, we welcome Shawn Leonard, an Indigenous psychic medium whose connection to the spirit world is both profound and illuminating. Hailing from the Mi’kmaq Nation in Canada, Shawn carries the ancient wisdom of his ancestors, weaving their teachings into his modern spiritual work. His journey is one of reconnection—to spirit, self, and the earth.Shawn shares vivid stories from his life, moments where the veil between worlds seemed thin, and spirits reached out to remind him of their presence. From childhood experiences of his great-grandparents’ ghostly visits to deeply impactful encounters with lost souls, Shawn’s path has been one of profound discovery. “If you’re not sure if psychic ability is real,” he advises, “learn to become more psychic. It’s innate within us all—a natural part of evolution.”

In his journey, Shawn leaned into his Indigenous roots, embracing sacred ceremonies and the medicine of his culture. Smudging—a ritual of cleansing with sage and sweetgrass—is not just an act for him but a bridge to the spirit world. Yet, as Shawn explains, it’s not the ritual itself that holds the power; it’s the intention behind it. “The words, the vibration, the sound, the heart—that’s where the magic happens,” he says.Beyond his personal spiritual practice, Shawn sheds light on the interconnectedness of humanity. He speaks of the Indigenous medicine wheel, a sacred symbol representing harmony and balance among all peoples and the earth. Yellow for the East, red for the South, black for the West, and white for the North—each color representing a direction, a people, and a unity within the circle of life. “We are all one,” Shawn reflects, “and until we embrace that truth, our struggles will persist.”Shawn also touches on humanity’s rapid technological progress and the spiritual shift it demands. He envisions a future where humanity learns to balance innovation with reverence for the earth—a harmony necessary for survival and expansion beyond this world. “In seven generations, we will step into other worlds,” Shawn predicts, “but we must first learn to live in balance here.”
