Get ready for an episode filled with compassion, cosmic comedy, and some of the most undeniable afterlife evidence you'll ever hear. Sandra is joined by Barbra Banner, a certified evidential and trance medium whose work is deeply informed by her decades of service on the front lines of grief as a member of the LAPD's Crisis Response Team. Barbra shares her own dramatic spiritual awakening, which was ignited during the pandemic by mysterious glowing orbs, ceiling fans going haywire, and clocks flying off the walls. This calling led her to discover a gift that, unbeknownst to her, has been a family secret for generations. Listen to her "you can't make this stuff up" stories, including spirit guides booking their own appointments for people in desperate need, and a husband in spirit proving he was still around by naming the exact TV show ("Outlander") his wife had been binge-watching. Barbra also shares her simple "1, 2, 3" technique to help you get your own personal sign from a loved one and explains why laughter is one of the most powerful medicines for healing grief.

This episode doesn't offer a single, dramatic near-death experience or signs from a loved one, but it provides something just as powerful: the validation of an entire ancient culture whose spirituality is built on the absolute certainty that we don't die.

Join Sandra Champlain for a rare and fascinating journey into the world of Native American spirituality and oral history with historian and ethnographer, Lance Dorrel. This isn't the story of one person who pierced the veil; it's the story of a people who never let the veil be drawn in the first place. Lance shares what he has learned directly from tribal elders about the afterlife as the "next journey," the reality of communication with ancestors, and our soul's profound origin among the stars.

Discover the innate human abilities, like remote viewing and telepathic communication, that were honed by these tribes but have become dormant in modern society. This is a beautiful and different lens on the same truth we explore every week—a powerful look into a worldview that has been suppressed and misunderstood for far too long.

Have you ever experienced a miracle, a timely "coincidence," or a chance encounter that you just can't explain? In this episode, Sandra Champlain is joined by Christi Clemons Hoffman—a lifelong intuitive, teacher, host of the Real-Life Angel Encounters podcast, and author of the new book of the same name. Christi shares her journey from the corporate world to a full-time practice of readings, reiki, and regression after a difficult period in her life led her to the work of Dolores Cannon. We explore what "angels" really are, discussing how they can be loved ones, mysterious strangers, or spirit guides who show up in our greatest moments of need.

Listen to the incredible true stories from her book, including a truck driver in the UK who was saved by a flood of mysterious tears, and a woman who was helped by a beautiful "angel in overalls" during a medical emergency who then vanished without a trace. We also discuss the power of asking for specific signs from our loved ones, highlighted by the amazing "Bluebird in Winter" story. Most importantly, Christi shares how we can all begin to work with our own spiritual team and why we must ask for their help.
