Episode #49. Jen sits down with psychic medium Shinka for a conversation that explores the unseen world, the nature of grief, and the spiritual messages that can emerge in times of global tragedy. Shinka describes the emotional weight of serving as a bridge between the living and those who have passed. Jen and Shinka discuss the complex process of grief and how signs, dreams, and intuitive moments can bring comfort to people navigating loss. Shinka explains how messages from loved ones can offer reassurance and help families begin to heal. The episode then shifts to a more global perspective as Shinka speaks about the spirits she says have come to her in connection with violence and unrest in Iran. She reflects on the emotional toll of hearing the stories of souls who died in conflict and emphasizes the humanity behind the headlines—mothers, children, and families whose lives were interrupted by war. Throughout the conversation, Jen and Shinka explore themes of intuition, spiritual purpose, forgiveness, and the enduring connection between the living and the departed. The result is a reflective and emotional episode that invites listeners to consider grief not only as loss, but also as a doorway to deeper understanding, empathy, and spiritual connection.
