Podcast Summary:

What if the spiritual gifts you’ve been hiding are actually the divine spark meant to set your soul on fire? In this transformative episode, I sit down with Brian and Jen Byers, the powerhouse couple behind Savannah Psychics, to unpack the mysteries of finding your voice, embracing your gifts, and demystifying the connection between God and spiritual expression.

Jen opens up about her early psychic experiences, the pain of being silenced by societal and familial pressures, and the profound awakening she experienced during COVID. Guided by her spirit guide “Rabbit” (and yes, there’s a story there), she realized that the messages she had been receiving her entire life were divine whispers meant to be shared. Brian dives deep into his Appalachian upbringing, where spiritual gifts were both embraced and judged, and how he found the courage to trust his voice, even when it meant being labeled a misfit.

Together, we explore the intersection of spirituality and religion, challenging the stigma around spiritual gifts and reframing them as God’s unique calling for each of us. This isn’t about “psychic magic” — it’s about honoring the divine blueprint that’s already within you. Jen and Brian share powerful stories of their work helping others step into their gifts, from healing touch to intuitive knowing, and they don’t hold back in offering actionable advice to help you do the same.

In one of the most jaw-dropping moments of the episode, Brian and Jen provide a live psychic demonstration, channeling messages for potential listeners. This powerful, unscripted moment underscores the authenticity of their gifts and their commitment to guiding others toward spiritual clarity. If you’ve ever wondered whether your intuition is worth trusting, this moment might just change your life.

We also take a look ahead at 2025, diving into predictions that are as fascinating as they are thought-provoking — a rise in spiritual awakenings, societal shifts, and yes, even the increasing presence of non-human entities. But here’s the takeaway: don’t fear the future. Instead, step boldly into it with confidence in your voice and trust in your purpose.

This episode isn’t just a conversation — it’s an invitation to embrace the fullness of who you are. By the end, you’ll not only feel empowered to share your gifts but also inspired to see your voice as the bridge between the spiritual and the earthly. It’s time to wake up, rise up, and let your soul come out and say hello.
