Bri is a psychic medium and intuitive guide. Growing up she was a very psychic and empathic child but it wasn’t until a life altering car accident that she became dedicated to working with her abilities. Ultimately having to leave a successful career as a teacher, she was able to find healing & magic through Mediumship and other modalities such as Reiki & Angel connections.  We discuss: Being an empathic child and growing up with religious parents Having multiple spiritual awakenings throughout life from grade 2 to now Bri’s experience as a teacher working with deaf, blind and/or autistic children and looking back how her intuitiveness, empathicness and psychic abilities helped her Being bullied from grade 3-11 and the role her empathic abilities played in her experience How being friends with the ‘outcasts’ in high school carried over to who she likes to work with/help today We also touch upon advice for parent...

By sharing stories and insights, I hope to show that they're not alone on their journey. If you're interested in learning more or booking a reading with me you can go to jencostamedium.com .

I delve into my personal journey, childhood experiences, and the transformative moments that led to this shift in perspective.    I acknowledge that I’m still learning and growing in this area, and as a white woman I still have a lot to learn. In this episode, I did my best to share my understanding of these atrocities and how they have shifted my perspective. But I am a work in progress and I am continuing to learn and grow in these areas. And I don’t have all the answers. I also want to acknowledge that when I say the word ‘Indian’ in this episode I’m using the terminology that was historically used during my childhood, but indigenous people have many ways of identifying and when possible it’s best to use community based terminology.   Links mentioned in episode: PODCAST:  This Land: Season 2 SHOP INDIGENOUS:  8th Generation: Inspired Natives, not "Native-insp...
