Today we are joined by astrologer, tarot expert, and intuitive, Jessica Alexandria! She’s the creator of BehatiLife, and provides weekly astrology readings and intuitive guidance through her wildly popular YouTube channel.

Jess lives in one of the most haunted areas of New Orleans and grew up in Jamaica, so our conversation begins with a conversation around her environments and how they have strengthened her intuition.  She is open about her current and past experiences with spirits and ghosts and is thorough in response to Krista and Lindsey’s curiosities around the supernatural. Although these encounters terrified her as a child, Jessica later embraced them as she used tarot as a tool to realize gifts about herself, such as her psychic abilities. Our conversation also sheds light on building a relationship with your tarot deck, the importance of setting intentions, and being open to what the cards are trying to tell you.
