“Your soul does not reside in your body, instead your body resides within your soul. The body is an articulation of the soul’s lessons.”
– Jessica Lanyadoo
This week we are rebroadcasting our episode with Jessica Lanyadoo, Navigating the Starts and Talking to Dead People: Astrology and Mediumship in time for Samhain, Halloween and El Día de los Muertos where the veil between the physical world and the spirit world wear thin! This episode also synchronistically aired two years ago during Mercury Retrograde as well :)
Since the original airing, Jessica has created her own amazing twice weekly astrology and advice podcast Ghost of A Podcast which is so much fun and super practical + inspiring. Jessica has also released a wonderful book called Astrology For Real Relationships.
In this episode, I’m excited to be speaking with Jessica Lanyadoo, an internationally respected Astrologer and Psychic Medium, who is currently the resident astrologer for Girlboss and The Hoodwitch in the US, and Chatelaine in Canada.
We talk about the reasons behind the recent explosion of astrology into mainstream and how medical astrology can help us understand how to live better in our physical body, plus tips on how to embody information received thru astrology without getting overwhelmed.
We also talk about psychic mediumship and animal communication - how Jessica discovered her intuitive gifts and what happens when we die according to her experience talking with dead people, plus how to talk to animals.
Jessica shares words of advice for people who want to support their own intuition and abilities, including the vital importance of spiritual and energetic hygiene.
This was such a fun interview, but there are a few places with some sound tech weirdness. It’s not terrible – just wanted to give you a head’s up. And yes, we recorded right at the start of Mercury retrograde because we are daredevils like that, so perhaps that’s what we get. We survived and thank goodness we did because this interview is going to blow your esoteric socks off. Enjoy!
