A 22-year-old entrepreneur goes out in Lansing, Michigan, and is found the next day in the Grand River. The case is ruled an accidental drowning, but the timeline, the surveillance footage, and one chilling detail keep sticking in our throats: eleven seconds after Brandon Mitchner and his business partner leave the camera frame, the partner reappears alone, runs to a gas station, then takes a cab home without calling for help. If you’re a true crime listener, you already know why that matters.
Jo Figueras joins us with a perspective you do not hear every day, because she is the psychic medium Brandon contacts to deliver messages to the people he loves. We talk through the wild synchronicities that connect Jo to Brandon’s best friend Jason, and then to Brandon’s mom Shirley, who has fought for answers while carrying the weight of grief for years. We also dig into what Shirley does with that grief, including her advocacy for a “duty to act” law and the push for safety changes where Brandon was last seen.
Then the conversation turns spiritual in the most amazing way. Jo shares the one line Brandon gives her when she asks for the truth: “Justice is a human construct.” We unpack closure vs peace, why the nervous system still hurts even when the facts feel “settled,” and what it looks like to heal when the world never delivers a clean ending. We also share what Jo is building now for intuitive development, including Intuition Lab and her coaching certification that blends somatics, human design, and self-trust.
If you’re drawn to mediumship, unsolved death stories, grief healing, or midlife spirituality, hit play, share this with a friend, and please subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Jo Figueras is a Psychic Medium, Akashic Records Reader, Intuitive Development Coach, and Silversmith with over a decade of experience guiding individuals through deep soul-level inquiry and integration.

She frequently shares content on all things Akashic Records, reincarnation, numerology, astrology, Human Design, mediumship & channeling.
Jo has worked at the intersection of intuitive development, personal transformation, and coaching since 2016. My work has always been centered on helping my clients recognize the wisdom they already carry within themselves as I guided them through spiritual mentorship and intuitive readings. At the core of thousands of interactions, I’ve taught my clients to strengthen their self-trust by deepening their self-awareness.
Over the years, she began to notice a gap in both the coaching and spiritual industries. Coaches regularly encourage clients to "trust their gut," yet very few are taught how intuition actually works, how it communicates through the body, or how to help clients build the evidence necessary for lasting self-trust.
The Intuition Lab Coaching Certification was born from years of observing patterns across thousands of client conversations and integrating insights from Human Design, astrology, numerology, nervous system practices, intuitive development, and spiritual mentorship into one practical framework.
To give her clients the most detailed access to their energetic blueprint, my work has guided me to create the Soul Architecture framework incorporating numerology, astrology, Human Design and the energy of the Akashic Records, as well as The Four Pillars of Intuitive Development™ - Empathy, Felt Truth, Intuitive Perception, and Pattern Recognition. I have spent years translating complex spiritual concepts into teachable tools that coaches can confidently integrate into their existing work.
