#171 Today my lovely guest is Sheila Vijeyarasa. Sheila is a medium, spiritual teacher, author, and courageous warrior woman. During our conversation today, we talk about the concept of mediumship, how anyone can become more clairvoyant, spiritual awakenings and their challenges, and why choosing our calling is not always without its challenges.

If you have been contemplating whether the path you are on right now is for you, then I recommend you tune in and get inspired.
