A Psychic's Story

The process of spiritual transformation and growth isn’t always recognizable while you’re going through it. It often begins when the life you’ve been living no longer fits or feels aligned. Only later do you recognize how much the experience changed you.

In this special listener stories episode, Nichole Bigley welcomes Jesse Keene back to A Psychic’s Story to explore four very different journeys — and how healing, awakening, intuition, and unexpected life experiences can deepen our understanding of ourselves, our gifts, and our purpose.

Tune in as Nichole and Jesse reflect on stories from four members of The Psychic Club, including:

Lana Mitchell asking the Universe for a clear sign as she moves through fear, healing, and the call to step more fully into her power.

Shannon Keef experiencing trauma, a near-death experience, and a profound spiritual awakening that ultimately reshapes her life and calling to heal and serve.

Colleen Del Valle discovering how childhood intuition, loss, healing, synchronicities, and service may all be connected to a larger journey of spiritual growth and purpose.

Amber Kleid looking back on a spiritual awakening that unfolded over many years through physical illness, emotional healing, yoga, the Akashic Records, psychic development, and community.

Together, these stories are a reminder that spiritual transformation rarely follows one path or arrives in the way we expect. Sometimes it begins through loss, illness, uncertainty, or upheaval. Other times, it unfolds gradually until we can finally look back and recognize how much we have changed.

And this is only the beginning. Lana, Shannon, Colleen, and Amber will each return for their own upcoming episodes of A Psychic’s Story, where Nichole will go deeper into their individual journeys and experiences.

To hear more from Jesse and his spiritual journey, revisit his previous appearances on A Psychic’s Story — The Spiritual Journey and Octoberlutions.

Your energy may be telling you more than you realize.

We often notice when the energy in a room shifts, when someone feels “off,” or when an emotion seems to appear out of nowhere. But how do you know what you’re actually sensing – and whether it belongs to you?

In this episode of A Psychic’s Story, Nichole sits down with energy healer, meditation coach, and spiritual teacher Uriel Maksumov to unpack the ways energy can move through and between us, and what can change when we learn to recognize our own energetic patterns more clearly.

Coming from generations of healing traditions, Uriel shares how his awareness of the unseen developed from childhood into experiences with energy, spirits, and intuitive perception. He also explains what he calls “energy intelligence” – learning to recognize how energy may show up through emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, relationships, and shifts in our internal state.

Their conversation explores how to establish your own energetic baseline, distinguish intuitive information from fear or projection, navigate empathic sensitivity, and work with practices such as grounding, meditation, clearing, and energetic protection without disconnecting from the world around you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Uriel’s childhood experiences and family healing traditions shaped his relationship with energy and the unseen.

What Uriel means by “energy intelligence” and how becoming more aware of your own baseline can help you recognize when something shifts.

How emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, and intuitive impressions may become part of the way we experience energy.

How to begin distinguishing something you may be sensing intuitively from your own fear, assumptions, emotions, or projections.

Why empaths and energetically sensitive people may find themselves affected by the emotions and experiences of others – and what can help them move through those moments more consciously.

How grounding, meditation, clearing, energetic protection, and greater self-awareness can support a healthier relationship with sensitivity rather than shutting it down.

Your connection to angels goes beyond receiving their guidance. It is part of who you are.

Angel communicator, spiritual teacher, and author Alisha Das joins A Psychic’s Story to explore the idea of angelic ancestry, including what it means to carry an angelic heritage, how we can discover our unique archangelic name, and how remembering our connection to the angelic realm can change the way we experience our human lives.

Alisha shares how she began hearing angels and what she describes as the angelic language as a young child, eventually learning to reconcile those experiences with the deeply analytical and scientific perspective she developed growing up in a family of physicians.

Together, Nichole and Alisha explore what it might mean to remember more of who we are beyond this physical life – and bring that awareness more fully into the one we’re living now.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Alisha began experiencing angels and hearing what she describes as the angelic language as a child.

How her scientific and analytical background shaped the way she learned to discern and trust spiritual experiences.

What Alisha means by angelic or archangelic ancestry and why she believes we may carry a connection to the angelic realm into human life.

What an archangelic name is, how someone can discover theirs, and why Alisha believes it can deepen connection to purpose and the angelic realm.

The relationship between angelic language and light language, and why Alisha believes this kind of spiritual connection is available to everyone.

How remembering our angelic nature may change the way we approach purpose, relationships, challenges, compassion, and everyday human life.

To learn more about Alisha and her work, visit alishadas.com. Her new book, Your Angelic Ancestry: Discover Your Archangelic Name, Heritage, and Higher Purpose, is available wherever books are sold.

In honor of National Be an Angel Day on August 22, Nichole shares a special guided angelic invocation and energy integration designed to help you connect with God, Universe, Source and five archangels — Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Metatron.

National Be an Angel Day is a reminder to bring more kindness, compassion, generosity, and service into the world — to be an angel in someone else’s life. It is also an opportunity to honor the angels themselves and become more aware of the loving support that surrounds us at all times.

The angels and archangels have been an important part of Nichole’s spiritual journey for many years. She wrote extensively about them in her award-winning book, Looking for Angels, and continues to explore their individual energies, roles, and ways of supporting us through The Angelic Academy.

This guided experience was originally created as part of Nichole’s Reiki training and has been adapted so anyone can participate. No previous experience with Reiki, meditation, energy work, or connecting with angels is needed.

During this experience, you will be guided to connect with:

Archangel Michael — protection, strength, clearing, and sacred boundaries.

Archangel Gabriel — clarity, communication, truth, and receiving guidance.

Archangel Raphael — healing, restoration, compassion, and balance.

Archangel Uriel — grounding, wisdom, illumination, and integration.

Archangel Metatron — energetic alignment, sacred activation, and higher consciousness.

The experience also invites you to deepen your awareness of Oneness — your connection with God, Universe, Source, the angels, higher self, and All That Is.

Please listen somewhere you can safely relax. Do not participate while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires your full attention.

And in honor of National Be an Angel Day, consider carrying the experience forward through an act of kindness, compassion, generosity, or service for someone else.

To learn more about Nichole’s experiences with angels, explore her book, Looking for Angels. You can also go deeper into working with the archangels through The Angelic Academy.

In Part Two, the “living team” behind A Psychic’s Story gets into the woo of it all.

After meeting Nicolae Bogdan Bratis, Megan Murphy, and Dr. Scott Guerin in Part One, Nichole turns the conversation toward their own paranormal, supernatural, psychic, and intuitive experiences — from startling psychic readings and childhood spirit encounters to manifestation, animal communication, divine intervention, and possible “exit points.”

Along the way, the team explores the many ways intuitive information can arrive, what happens when we listen to it, and how working on A Psychic’s Story and hearing hundreds of different perspectives has expanded what each of them believes may be possible.

If you haven’t listened to Part One yet, start there to meet the team and learn how Nicolae, Megan, and Scott became part of A Psychic’s Story and what they do behind the scenes.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How a palm reader knew deeply personal information about Nicolae — and why he refused to tell him what his future held.

The unusual spiritual experiences and beliefs Nicolae encountered growing up in Romania, along with his experiences with manifestation, intention, and healing.

How Megan saw a deceased family friend as a child and the other intuitive experiences that began early in her life.

How a powerful inner voice helped redirect Megan’s path — and the possible telepathic communication she experienced while working with wild canines.

Why Scott believes a frightening highway accident may have involved divine intervention and what the experience taught him about possible “exit points.”

How working on A Psychic’s Story has changed or expanded what Nicolae, Megan, and Scott believe about psychic abilities, spirituality, the paranormal, and what may be possible.
