What if psychic ability isn’t rare, it’s actually universal? World-renowned psychic medium and author Laura Lynne Jackson joins Danielle to explain why intuition, signs, and spiritual communication are innate gifts we all possess, and how to access them without relying on a medium. She breaks down the concept of a “team of light,” the role of creativity as divine communication, and how spirituality can make us more resilient in real life. In this episode, Laura shares: How we all have psychic and intuitive abilities Her meaning of a "team of light," which includes God energy, spirit guides, and loved ones/ancestors who have crossed. Why signs are real, specific, and co-created, not coincidences How creativity is a portal to the other side  Why our spirit guides help steer us toward our highest path, not necessarily our easiest path. How failure is often a soul-level teaching tool and can be contracted for a higher purpose. Our soul relationships continue after death and often become stronger once a loved one crosses. Why we don’t have just one soulmate, multiple soul connections can appear across forms and lifetimes. That manifesting requires two overlooked steps: purge negative beliefs and restore balance before asking.
