This episode is for the people who love God, grew up in church, and were told their gifts are demonic. Medium Melissa Ainslie shares her story of church trauma, tithing pressure, and why she walked out of the building but never walked away from God. She explores what the Bible actually says about spiritual gifts, the verses people use to shout “witchcraft,” and why she believes crossing spirits over and working with God and the archangels is a gift of love, not evil. If you are deconstructing, curious, or quietly gifted and scared to talk about it, this one is for you.

In this episode of the Eleven Intuitions Podcast, Melissa sits down with Minda – once a student, now a beloved colleague – to trace the wild, Spirit-led path that took her from religious breakdown to life in a castle in the south of France.

Minda shares how three years of total upheaval, a devastating motorcycle accident, and a complete unraveling of her faith cracked her open to mediumship, near-death experiences, and ultimately to Arthur Findlay College (a.k.a. “Harry Potter land for adults”). From restoring an English kitchen garden and feeling the former owner’s spirit thank her, to being guided step-by-step into her own podcast, Practical Magic, Minda’s story is one long trail of rose petals from Spirit.

Together, Melissa and Minda dive into:

The difference between wanting spiritual gifts and actually walking through the “depths of hell” required to hold them

Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary as living, breathing archetypes of love, courage, and deep healing of the mother wound

How Minda learned to mother herself when she didn’t receive the nurturing she longed for in childhood

The beautiful synchronicity of bringing Tammy, our astrologer, into the Eleven Intuitions team

A powerful story of a young man in Spirit, a Hollywood medium, and why he chose to give a specific sign (AirPods) to two different people

Melissa’s honest share about job loss, money fears, and trusting Spirit when the bank account says “are you sure?”

Why doubting our own divinity may be the only true “sin” – and how choosing to believe yourself changes everything

If you’ve ever felt like your life had to fall apart before it could make sense, or you’re deconstructing old beliefs while opening up spiritually, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode, I share why I’m finally speaking out publicly about the disappearance of Lina Sardar Khil, the 3-year-old who vanished from an apartment complex in San Antonio on December 20, 2021.

For the past three years, I’ve worked quietly behind the scenes — using my intuitive abilities and consulting with professionals, including a dog handler trained in recovery work. I’ve submitted what I received to the proper channels. I’ve trusted the process. But we’re now nearing the four-year mark, and it’s time this story is heard.

This episode isn’t about blame — it’s about perspective. If you’ve always believed there’s more to this case, you’re not alone. I’m inviting you to sit with a different possibility: What if Lina didn’t just walk off? What if someone else knows something — and they’ve stayed quiet out of fear, guilt, or being told it’s not their place to speak?

If you’ve ever sensed something about this case, but dismissed it, please listen. You don’t need to go public. But there are ways to share what you know — safely and respectfully. Her legs didn’t walk her out alone. And her story deserves more eyes, more heart, and more attention than it’s been given.

📸 This episode includes a photo and a sketch generated from intuitive sessions. They are not meant as accusations, but as pieces of a broader puzzle.

👁‍🗨 Let’s think outside the box — together.

In Episode 12, Melissa sits down with Eleven Intuitions’ newest team member, astrologer Tammy Porter, for a clear and practical tour of astrology that meets you where you are. Tammy shares how a dark night of the soul led her to her chart, why Western astrology resonates for real life, and how fate and free will work together. They explore the “big three” placements, the power of moon signs for healing, and what synastry can reveal about love, friendship, and teamwork. Tammy breaks down common myths, the difference between horoscopes and true chart work, and why accurate birth time matters. You will hear stories about rare chart patterns, family signatures that pass through generations, event charts for big decisions, and how astrology supports mediumship, timing, and personal growth. Gentle, grounded, and eye-opening, this episode invites listeners to get curious, learn their basics, and use the stars as a mirror for the soul.

After Melissa’s mom passed, elevens began showing up everywhere. Phone screens. Gas pumps. Receipts. License plates. Friends and new clients even see elevens before they meet her. In this special eleventh episode, Melissa shares how those signs became an ongoing hello from her mom and why Eleven Intuitions was the only name that fit. Listeners will hear the June 11 birth story that made the number theirs, a few of the funniest eleven moments, and how her dad joined in with forty fours. Spirit also offers a simple message about listening to Spirit even when some traditions say not to. You are allowed to have a direct relationship with your loved ones and with Spirit. Ask for a sign. Notice it. Say thank you. Trust your intuition.

A love letter to the so-called weird ones and a shoutout Brienne will feel in her bones. Melissa unpacks two readings from the week from Minda that mirror each other. Brienne’s message about softening her inner critic and speaking kindly to herself. Paul’s message about easing inner pressure and choosing faith when work gets shaky. Both point to the same truth. Weird is not a flaw. Weird is the channel Spirit breathes through. Melissa shares how saying no to an event while sick restored her peace, how an oracle card echoed the theme of self talk, and why Taylor’s art feeling like oxygen mirrors how talking to Spirit feels in her life. Listeners leave with a journal prompt, a smile, and permission to be fully themselves because someone needs their voice exactly as it is.

Some stories are too perfectly timed to be coincidence.

In this episode, Melissa shares how Spirit has guided every animal that’s come into her life — long before she knew they were meant for her. From Tank to Daisy Mae to Luna, each one arrived through divine orchestration, proving that the bond between humans and animals is never random.

You’ll hear how rescues like Healing Heart Rehab and Pearl’s Place unknowingly help deliver the animals Spirit has already chosen for their people — and why Melissa believes so deeply in giving back to them.

Because she doesn’t just do this work — she lives it, every single day.

🐾 Listen now to The Rainbow Bridge, the Rescue, and How Spirit Chooses Our Animals Before We Do — a story of purpose, healing, and love that transcends lifetimes.

What happens when two mediums who joke about being burned at the stake finally decide to try hypnosis for the first time?

Well… let’s just say Spirit has a sense of humor and receipts.

In this episode, Melissa and Kaitlyn dive into their very first group quantum hypnosis session with Brienne. Melissa unravels a lifelong Titanic fear (propellers and all), Kaitlyn finds herself replaying a familiar family-centered pattern, and both are stunned when their past lives cross in a fiery ending they never saw coming.

From spirit guides with cryptic gifts to healing clarity across lifetimes, this one has everything: laughter, tears, and proof that sometimes your jokes about past lives aren’t jokes at all.

Stay tuned for how you can book with Brienne, plus links to having your own sessions.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes themes of pet loss and grief.

What happens when Spirit speaks before the facts do? In this emotional episode of the Eleven Intuitions Podcast, Melissa Ainslie shares a powerful story about timing, intuition, and the bond between humans and their animals.

When her daughter’s beloved cats went missing, Melissa found herself caught between being a medium and being a mom. Spirit showed up with a message she wasn’t prepared for—and it changed everything about how she understands love, loyalty, and loss.

✨ If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet, this episode will speak to your heart.
