  1. Feeling Existentially Exhausted? Try This Grounding Trance Practice with Niko the Medium | Ep. 28

    Feeling Existentially Exhausted? Try This Grounding Trance Practice with Niko the Medium | Ep. 28

    What if your exhaustion isn’t a sign that something is breaking… but that something is reorganizing? In this episode, I’m joined by Niko the Medium, a trance medium, teacher, and author who brings clarity and grounded wisdom through a collective consciousness called Noah — a group of archangelic beings here to support our evolution. WHAT WE COVER: – What trance mediumship actually is (and isn't)– How to understand disorientation as recalibration– Why trance states help us become more ourselves, not escape reality– How Niko connects to Noah and who this collective really is– A real-time guided trance exercise you can follow along with– A powerful message from Noah about the phase humanity is in right now 🎙 One quick context note before we begin:There’s a section where we talk about activism and the state of the world. This is not an episode telling anyone to disengage or ignore injustice. It’s an exploration of something many of us are feeling — that when we’re emotionally flooded, even well-intentioned actions can become reactionary or draining. The invitation here is regulation for clarity. Because when your inner state is steady, whatever you choose to do — speak up, parent your kids, have hard conversations, donate, create — comes from a place of presence, not panic. Some people are called to be out front. Others are called to stabilize the room. This episode is about that role. 🔮 CHAPTERS00:00 Hook + Intro01:35 Who is Niko the Medium?02:48 What Is Trance Mediumship?06:05 Disorientation as Evolution09:40 What Is Noah?14:00 Guided Trance Practice (Follow Along)21:00 Channeling Begins — Noah Comes Through28:12 A Message for the Collective33:40 Holding Coherence in a Chaotic World38:00 The Role of the Stabilizer42:15 Why You're Not “Doing It Wrong”45:00 How to Connect with Spirit Safely49:15 Final Thoughts + Ways to Work with Niko 🌐 CONNECT WITH NIKOWebsite: https://www.nikothemedium.comOfferings: Private Sessions, Group Circles, Books, CoursesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikothemedium 💫 CONNECT WITH KELLYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatspiritualgirlnextdoorYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatSpiritualGirlNextDoorSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1YfjCr9r5X8kXLiTHQcgF3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-spiritual-girl-next-door/id1765387735

    Out of Body Experiences for People With Day Jobs | Ep. 27

    A conversation about out-of-body experiences for people who still have responsibilities. In this episode, we join Emma from Out of Body Stories to talk about out-of-body experiences from a grounded, human perspective. Emma shares her journey from spontaneous experiences to learning how to explore them intentionally, all while balancing a day job, family life, and real-world responsibilities. This is not a how-to or a promise of enlightenment. It is an honest conversation about consciousness, curiosity, fear, and what actually changes when people begin exploring these experiences for themselves. We discuss: What out-of-body experiences really are and how they differ from lucid dreamingTechniques that have worked best through lived experienceCommon threads Emma has noticed after interviewing dozens of peopleHow these experiences impact everyday life, work, and relationshipsWhy many people feel drawn to explore consciousness without wanting to escape realityThis conversation is for the curious, the grounded, and the people who still have to clock in the next morning.

    The Stories You Tell About Yourself Are Creating Your Life | Ep. 26

    What if you don’t need to fix yourself to have the life you want? In this unplanned, in-person conversation, Kelly sits down with Courtney Stephenson to explore identity, human potential, and what happens when you stop putting conditions on yourself. This episode moves through manifestation, nervous system regulation, self-concept, and the radical idea that you already are what you’ve been trying to become — without turning it into a performance or a debate. We talk about: Why “doing the work” can quietly become another conditionIdentity, awareness, and the idea of “I Am”Letting go of victim stories and self-judgmentParenting without passing down fear or limitationSynchronicity, perception, and choosing new storiesWhy self-love changes everything — without effortThis is a grounded, conversational episode for anyone who feels tired of fixing themselves and ready to remember who they already are. If you’re curious about consciousness, human potential, and living with more freedom — consider subscribing for future episodes.

    Ep 25: You Are Not Alone- A Conversation About Mediumship, Spirits & Ongoing Connection

    This episode includes discussion of death and grief. Listener discretion advised. In this episode, we are joined by Barbra Banner, an evidential, psychic, and trance medium whose work is rooted in compassion, service, and practical support for people navigating loss. Barbra shares her path into mediumship, including years of crisis-response and grief support work that uniquely prepared her to hold space for others in their most vulnerable moments. Together, Kelly and Barbra explore what mediumship actually looks like when it’s grounded and human—how grief moves, how humor can coexist with loss, and how loved ones continue to support us after they’ve died. They discuss: What evidential mediumship really is (and what it isn’t)How grief shows up differently for everyone—and why there’s no “right” timelineSurvivor’s guilt, compassion, and learning to pivot toward loveSigns, symbols, and intuition—especially with childrenReincarnation, parallel lives, and why we forgetWhy skepticism can block connection (and how openness changes everything) If you stick around to the end, Kelly participates in a live reading where Barbra brings through specific, verifiable details from loved ones on the other side—followed by a simple exercise listeners can try on their own to experience connection firsthand. This episode isn’t about convincing anyone of anything. It’s about curiosity, comfort, and the possibility that this lifetime isn’t all there is—and that we’re far more supported than we realize. 🔗 Learn more about Barbra Banner or book a reading:https://bannermedium.com/ Connect with Kelly: 📸 Instagram: Instagram.com/thatspiritualgirlnextdoorYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatSpiritualGirlNextDoor

    Ep 24: Seeing Beyond the Senses- Mindsight, Intuition & Nervous System Regulation

    What if our sight isn’t limited to the physical eyes? In this episode of That Spiritual Girl Next Door, I’m joined by Dr. Brooke Soto — PhD, board-certified doctor of natural medicine, and founder of Quantum Bliss — for a grounded, expansive conversation about Mindsight: the ability to perceive beyond the physical senses. Stick around to hear Brooke demonstrate her mindsight during the episode, and turn into our YouTube channel to see (ha!) it for yourself.  Before the formal conversation begins, Brooke shares an unplanned moment about her lived experience as a mother to a non-speaking autistic child — a moment I chose to keep in because it offers important context for the world she operates in and the level of perception she’s deeply familiar with. Hang with me though because this episode is about MINDSIGHT!  From there, we explore: What Mindsight actually is (and what it isn’t)Why children access intuitive perception so naturallyHow adults can relearn perception beyond the analytical mindThe role of nervous system regulation and emotional balanceWhy play, curiosity, and trust matter more than effortHow intuition, imagination, and perception intersect in daily lifeThis is not a performance or a proof-based conversation — it’s an invitation to explore what may already be available to us when we soften, regulate, and listen differently.

    Ep. 23: Beyond Belief- What Happens When You Talk to the Sky

    Today’s guest, Jesse Collins—known on Instagram as @earlbob1964—has a unique early morning ritual: he steps into the darkness, prays to the Holy Spirit, and points his camera at the sky. More often than not, the sky responds—with a flash, an orb, or a shooting star that defies statistical probability. In this episode, Jesse shares: How his deeply Christian language is just one way of expressing a universal connectionWhat it feels like to be met by the sky in a moment of prayerWhy nothing happening is sometimes part of the processThe jaw-dropping footage he’s captured and what it might meanWe also explore: The difference between belief and resonanceThe math behind how rare his experiences areWhat “sprites” really are in atmospheric science (not fairies!)If you’ve ever gone outside, asked for a sign, and felt silly when nothing happened—this episode is for you. 🌀 Whether you call it God, Source, Universe, or Light—Jesse’s story reminds us that connection is possible. Sometimes all it takes is showing up and speaking from the heart. 🎥 YouTube viewers: I’ll be splicing in Jesse’s footage throughout the episode. https://www.youtube.com/@ThatSpiritualGirlNextDoor   🎧 Podcast listeners: You can view his videos at @earlbob1964 on Instagram 💬 Drop your thoughts in the YouTube comments or DM me if you've had skywatching moments of your own. 🔗 Referenced Resources 📸 Jesse Collins on Instagram: @earlbob1964 💧 Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water consciousness work: https://www.masaru-emoto.net 👁️ Garry Nolan’s work on consciousness and UFOs: Nolan Lab at Stanford 🔭 Project Skywatch (community-led skywatching): projectskywatch.net 🎧 The UAP Files Podcast: @theuapfilespodcast 🧠 Jesse’s friends & fellow experiencers:Jenny / @jenny281973Brandy / @orbs.girlSarah / @ufo_gurleyConnect with Kelly: 📸 Instagram: Instagram.com/thatspiritualgirlnextdoor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatSpiritualGirlNextDoor

  7. Ep. 22: Beyond Ghosts: My Family’s True Halloween Stories

    Ep. 22: Beyond Ghosts: My Family’s True Halloween Stories

    Not your typical Halloween episode. Yes, we touch on the history—Samhain, All Saints/All Souls, and Dia de los Muertos—but this isn’t a parade of jump scares. It’s an hour about the mystery inside all of us and the quiet ways it reaches out: six yellow butterflies for a grieving mom, a grandmother’s prayer that arrives like a voice at 2 a.m., a visit in an operating room that steadies a frightened heart, a college house where the air gets heavy, and an agnostic grandfather who catches a feather at the exact moment he needs reassurance. You don’t have to see the world the same way to meet in the middle—sometimes the bridge is built from our differences. If you’re craving an episode that honors faith and skepticism, intuition and reason, the sacred and the silly, this one’s for you. Stay for the stories; leave with a simple prompt to ask someone you love: “Have you ever had something happen you couldn’t explain?” In this episode: Samhain’s origins; how All Saints/All Souls reframed the season; Dia de los Muertos’ heart of remembrance; personal stories from my friend Anna, my grandmother, my mother-in-law, my friend Matt, and my dad; and a closing reflection on curiosity as a spiritual practice. Southern accents included with no extra charge!

    Ep 21: What Dying Taught Jonathan Ashford About Living

    What really happens when you die — and how can that experience change the way you live? In this episode, Kelly sits down with Jonathan Ashford, a former C-level executive who flatlined for three hours after organ failure and came back completely transformed. His near-death experience (NDE) rewired everything — his understanding of love, time, source energy, and what actually matters in this life. Jonathan shares what it felt like to meet the Divine, what his life review taught him, and how those lessons now guide his work as an intuitive reader and spiritual coach. He even offers simple, practical ways to connect to the “other side” — without, you know… having to die first. This is one of the most insightful, moving conversations we’ve ever had on That Spiritual Girl Next Door — full of humor, heart, and wisdom you’ll want to replay again and again. Topics include: Near-death experiences (NDEs) & life after deathIntuitive connection, surrender, and self-loveThe Divine Feminine and the cosmic sense of humorWhy neutrality, stillness, and gratitude are spiritual superpowers“Thanks for dying so we didn’t have to, Jonathan.” 💫 CONNECT WITH JONATHAN ASHFORD  Work with Jonathan Jonathan offers spiritual guidance and intuitive sessions to help people reconnect to their divine nature — no near-death experience required.
