    Mediumship and Religion: Giving Yourself Room to Explore

    Can you explore mediumship and spirituality while keeping the faith you grew up with? What happens when something connects with you, but the people around you don't understand? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla Bengtson shares how spiritual exploration deepened her connection to God after a Catholic upbringing. Through personal stories, including a conversation with a minister who questioned her work as a Medium, she explores curiosity, discernment, and the freedom to let your beliefs grow. You'll reflect on what you believe and why, how to explore new perspectives without feeling pressured to accept them, and how to respect different beliefs while setting boundaries around uncomfortable conversations. There's room to ask questions, find community, and discover what feels meaningful to you. Read the companion blog: Does Mediumship Conflict With Religion?

    Are You Waiting for a Sign Before You Take Action?

    Are you waiting for a sign from Spirit before making a decision or taking action? If you keep asking for confirmation, looking for spiritual signs, or wondering whether you are making the right choice, the real issue may be less about guidance and more about trusting yourself. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores the relationship between spiritual guidance, intuition, faith, free will, and decision-making. She explains how signs from Spirit can offer confirmation, clarity, and a broader perspective, but they are not meant to make your choices for you. You'll also hear why being spiritually connected does not automatically mean you are living what you know, how childhood patterns can still influence highly intuitive people, and why faith is not the same as waiting passively for divine timing. Spiritual growth is meant to help you live your human life, not put it on pause. If you have been overthinking a decision, waiting for the Universe to give you permission, or questioning whether you can trust your intuition, this episode will help you look at guidance differently. You can receive support from Spirit, make a choice, take action, and trust that the next step will become clearer as you move forward. Sometimes the sign does not come before the action. Sometimes taking action is what allows the next answer to appear. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member.

    How to Find Inner Peace in an Uncertain World

    How do you find inner peace when the world around you feels uncertain? Inner peace doesn't mean ignoring what's happening, shutting down your emotions, or walking through life in a constant state of calm. It means learning how to recognize what you're feeling, regulate your response, and return to yourself when stress, fear, or uncertainty pulls you off center. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores why inner peace is not who you are, it's what you practice. She shares how faith, journaling, breathwork, movement, and simple pattern interrupts can help you move from automatic reactivity to conscious response. You'll also learn why your emotions are valuable information, how to stop emotionally living inside a future that hasn't happened yet, and how to train your nervous system to recover more quickly when life feels overwhelming. You'll leave with a simple seven-day inner peace practice designed to help you build greater emotional regulation, clearer internal signals, and more confidence in your ability to handle whatever comes next. Reflection questions include: Where are you reacting to something that hasn't happened yet? How does your body tell you that you're losing your inner peace? And what practice can you consistently use to help you return to yourself? You don't have to wait for the world to become peaceful before you begin practicing inner peace. Thanks for listening.

    Afraid of Making the Wrong Decision? How to Trust Yourself and Choose

    Are you afraid of making the wrong decision? Sometimes the hardest part of making a choice isn't the decision itself. It's the uncertainty that comes with not knowing how things will turn out. We can get stuck looking for the perfect answer, asking other people what they think, waiting for a sign, or hoping something outside of us will simply take control. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores what happens when fear, control, regret, and self-trust all collide in the decision-making process. You'll learn why choosing one path can feel like losing another, why the road you didn't take can look better simply because you never had to live it, and why self-trust isn't about always making the "right" choice. This conversation also looks at the role of faith and free will. A higher power can guide and support you without making your decisions for you. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is allow yourself to sit in the gap, stay with the uncertainty, and trust that you can handle whatever information comes next. You don't have to know the whole outcome. You only need enough trust in yourself to choose your next step. Thanks for listening.

    Living Your Life by Design

    What happens when the life you've known no longer fits? Retirement, divorce, empty nesting, the loss of a parent, the end of caregiving, or another major life transition can leave you wondering, "What comes next?" And sometimes the hardest part isn't the change itself. It's the empty space that comes after it. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla talks about what it really means to live your life by design. Not by following another set of rules or creating the perfect five-year plan, but by questioning the old programming that shaped your choices and creating room to discover what you want now. You'll explore how life transitions can become an opportunity to stop living on autopilot, reconnect with yourself, and focus less on goals and more on the experiences you want to have in this next season of life. If you're starting over after divorce, adjusting to retirement, navigating an empty nest, moving through grief, or simply feeling stuck in a life that no longer feels like yours, this episode offers a different way forward: create space, stay curious, and begin making conscious choices that reflect who you are today. Your something better doesn't have to be fully figured out. It can begin with one question: What do I want to experience next? Thanks for listening.

    Still Living in Survival Mode? How to Turn Pain into Resilience

    Have you made it through something difficult but still feel like part of you is living inside the experience? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores the difference between surviving a painful chapter and truly becoming resilient through it. Resilience is not only about getting through hardship. It is about adapting, changing your relationship with the story, and choosing how you want to live afterward. Priscilla shares how her father's passing became the beginning of her spiritual path and explains how repeating a painful story can keep your mind, body, and energy connected to the past. Using her 4A Process - Awareness, Acceptance, Awaken, and Action - she offers a practical way to move from survival mode into greater strength, purpose, and possibility. Your story is part of you, but it does not have to be the place where you remain. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member.

    The Wisdom Inside Regret

    Regret can feel like a heavy backpack you have carried for years. It may start with one choice, one missed chance, one conversation, or one moment you wish had gone differently. Over time, that regret can begin to shape how you trust yourself, how you make decisions, and how you move forward in your life. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores regret as a teacher rather than a punishment. She shares how regret often comes from choices we made with the tools, awareness, and information we had at the time, and why we do not actually know that the other choice would have turned out better. You'll learn how regret can point you back to your values, reveal what matters most, and help you make a new choice from where you are now. Priscilla also shares insight from her work as a medium and what loved ones in Spirit often express about the regrets they carried in life. This episode includes reflection questions and a simple writing practice to help you begin moving regret out of your mind and onto the page, where you can find the wisdom inside it. In this episode, you'll explore: How regret affects more than one area of life Why regret can become part of your identity The wisdom hidden inside choices that did not work out Why "no regrets" can be helpful in the moment but unrealistic as a life philosophy How expressive writing can support emotional healing and clarity What regret may be asking you to choose from this point forward Regret does not have to keep you stuck in the past. It can become the doorway to more compassion, honesty, courage, and peace. Keep reaching for your something better. Thanks for listening.
