Chaos often feels like it’s pulling us in a thousand directions. But what if, at its core, it was actually a master class — an invitation to learn discernment and return to our inner truth?

In this week’s episode of A Psychic’s Story, spiritual teacher and content creator Taylor Perkins joins Nichole to share his personal journey of awakening and the lessons he’s learned about navigating illusion and reclaiming power.

Taylor opens up about growing up in a strict religious household and the cognitive dissonance that shaped his early years. He recounts the powerful moment as a teenager when he felt consumed by divine love — a turning point that awakened him to the reality that Source energy has always been within.

Taylor and Nichole also explore:

  • Reality as a mirror — how our beliefs, energy, and patterns reflect back to us in the physical world.
  • Chaos as curriculum — why contrast and confusion are essential for spiritual evolution and why discernment matters more now than ever.
  • Breaking loops — understanding repetitive patterns in our lives and how to shift them with awareness and compassion.
  • Expansion over perfection — why striving for flawlessness keeps us stuck, and how embracing expansion allows for real freedom and growth.
  • Integration — remembering that the answers aren’t outside of us. The spiritual path is about self-sourcing truth and reclaiming sovereignty.
  • Taylor’s message is that discernment is not just a skill — it’s a way of remembering who you truly are in the middle of a chaotic world.
