Some of us were born with specials gifts, and this week, Jackie and Lane talk to Dr. Lakara Foster (she/her) about her gift of being a psychic medium. We explore how Lakara has woven together her experiences as a counselor, her studies in psychology and ministry, and her gift of mediumship. She shares several moving experiences she’s had connecting people with their departed loved ones and how that has deeply impacted her clients.

Watch Lakara in action on Season 1, Episode 4 of VH1's “Couple's Retreat,” and see past appearances on her YouTube channel. Connect with her on social media @lakarawiththegift on Instagram or Facebook. To book a reading or shop her store, visit her website at www.lakarawiththegift.com.

Dreams are an amazing way to connect more deeply with ourselves. In this episode, Jackie and Lane go deep into the practice of lucid dreaming with Alejandro Salinas (he/him), a Chicago-based yoga instructor, death worker and grief advocate, musician, massage therapist and dream worker. We talk about Alejandro's studies of dream work, how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted his capacity for lucidity, and how our dreams can better shape our ideas about — and perceptions of — our waking lives. 

Alejandro has many offerings to share these days, and you can find out more by following him on Instagram @alej_salinas. Most of his yoga classes are available through Inner Sense Healing Arts @innersensehealingarts.
