    Unveiling The Mysteries: Psychic Insights And Paranormal Talk With April DeMille

    Host April DeMille welcomes Stephanie Webb to an unscripted “true or false” Q&A on psychic abilities, mediumship, hauntings, and paranormal topics, while also noting April’s private psychic medium readings and one-on-one coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery. They discuss how full moons can heighten experiences, whether spirit contact can be opened unintentionally, and April’s view that fear-based beliefs attract negative experiences but personal authority can end unwanted spirit interactions. April shares claims of Bigfoot as interdimensional “peoples” with experiences and communication about “Maldek,” explains cleansing tools like sage/salt as optional rituals, and says hauntings can attach to objects. They cover universal psychic ability, government UFO secrecy and alleged DNA experiments, differences among guides and angels, energetic imprints versus ghosts, how skepticism can affect readings, and spirits or human energy influencing electronics. 00:00 Podcast Welcome and Guest 01:04 Surprise Paranormal Q&A Setup 01:36 X Files Nostalgia 03:14 Rapid Fire Rules 04:04 Full Moon Psychic Boost 06:00 Accidental Spirit Doors 07:14 Fear Beliefs and Possession 10:38 Bigfoot Interdimensional Tales 16:28 Cleansing Rituals and Tools 19:19 Haunted Objects and Authority 21:26 Claim Your Authority 22:32 Firm Boundaries Work 24:13 Hollywood Fear Myths 25:15 Hypnosis Consent Explained 25:57 Everyone Has Psychic Sense 27:24 UFOs Government Secrets 28:27 DNA Experiments Allegations 31:04 Guides vs Angels 33:54 Ghosts and Energy Imprints 35:53 Skepticism and Readings 39:52 Electronics and Kinetic Energy 43:38 Closing and Booking ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 🔗 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 🔗 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 🔗 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail Working with April 1:1

    Exploring Galactic Guides: A Conversation With Summer

    ***This is part two of our conversation with Summer. If you missed part one, be sure to check out last week’s episode.*** Host April DeMille introduces Own Your Essence podcast, her private psychic medium readings and one-on-one coaching, then welcomes guest Summer, an intuitive teacher, channeler, and author of “Embracing Your Shadow,” a workbook with prompts and mindfulness practices for shadow work. Summer shares daily practices of talking to her guides and a revised grounding method of pulling intuition/energy through the whole essence and into the earth; April relates with her own anchoring approach. Summer names “The Untethered Soul” as a life-changing book and says spirit’s key lesson is trust. Summer explains channeling a collective called Armana through trance or conscious channeling, then channels Armana’s message about Earth’s turbulent planetary awakening creating a blueprint for other civilizations, urging people to stay grounded, calm, and observant rather than reactive. They discuss Pleiadian energy and Summer’s connection to Armana. Summer is an intuitive teacher, energy healer, author, and spiritual life coach dedicated to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and authentic selves. Her journey into this work was born from personal transformation and a deep commitment to spiritual growth. Through sound healing, trans channeling, and intuitive guidance, Summer helps others align with their highest potential and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. Drawing on her gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance, she shares compassionate insights and messages from spirit guides, departed loved ones, and the soul to support healing, clarity, and personal empowerment.

Be sure to come back next week for part two.*** Host April DeMille introduces the Own Your Essence podcast and her services (psychic medium readings and coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery), then welcomes guest Summer, an intuitive teacher, channeler, and author who runs Just Be True in Tyrone, Georgia. Summer describes her mission to support people through spiritual awakening and explains common signs such as hearing voices, sudden “knowing,” and seeing colors around people, sharing her own frightening awakening experiences and how a medium reassured her she wasn’t crazy. They discuss distinguishing intuition from fear or wishful thinking, noting intuition is often subtle but can become urgent in danger, illustrated by both women’s real-life experiences involving police reports. They explore beliefs about predestination and co-creation, and discuss past-life regression/hypnotherapy as a tool for identifying and healing trauma and beliefs across lifetimes, including a client’s intense purging experience and mind-body symptom connections, emphasizing trust, community, and integration.

    Ghostly Giggles And Psychic Insights: Haunted House Hilarity With Lee And April

    Hosts April DeMille and Lee Walczak host a lighter episode this week using AI-generated “would you survive a haunted house?” prompts, taking turns answering spooky scenarios: hearing a friend’s voice, a warning child spirit, a phantom cat, a ghost giving 10 seconds to leave, locked or hidden rooms, a possessed realtor, footsteps with no upstairs, friends proposing a seance, predictive texts, and choices about portals, hotels, proof of reincarnation, and spirits offering future answers. They discuss boundaries, curiosity, urgency cues, and ethics, then end with rapid-fire questions (cryptids, cemeteries vs hospitals, spirit box vs Ouija, mediums in TV, unwanted abilities), and close by inviting listeners to book readings with either host. ✨ Connect & work with  Lee  Facebook: facebook.com/leethemedium Tiktok: leewalczak Instagram: leewalczak Email: leewalczakvitality@gmail.com ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail Working with April 1:1

    Essence Unplugged: Exploring Spiritual Synergy With Lee Walczak

    Favorite Moments with Lee: Mediumship, Spirit Guides, and Rapid-Fire Laughs Host April DeMille opens the Own Your Essence podcast with a compilation of favorite moments with co-host Lee, then promotes her private psychic medium readings and one-on-one coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery. In featured clips, former police officer Sheila describes being introduced to hypnotic meditation by her police chief father, a strange ball-of-light experience, and a later “meet your spirit guide” class that convinced her mediumship was real and became her calling to teach others to connect, eventually leading into forensic mediumship. Sheila and Lee discuss early doubt, asking Spirit for confirmation “in two different ways,” and channeling spirits they wouldn’t have liked in life. April and Lee also debate mediumship vs telepathy and share an example where Lee received messages from April’s deceased stepbrother without prior knowledge. The compilation includes humorous rapid-fire questions, including Mercury retrograde as a breakup, spirit-guide dating profiles, and holiday-themed tarot and decorating prompts. 00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup 01:25 Readings and Coaching Promo 02:12 From Police to Mediumship 03:30 The Ball of Light Encounter 04:39 Spirit Guide Class Awakening 06:36 Calling to Teach Connection 07:28 Doubt and Validation Methods 11:31 Channeling Difficult Spirits 12:50 Mercury Retrograde Breakup 13:49 Spirit Guide Dating Profiles 21:52 Laughing Goodbye 22:50 Telepathy vs Mediumship 25:23 When Spirits Prove It 28:09 Stepbrother Afroman Story 34:09 Holiday Tarot Card 35:45 Tree Topper From Guides 40:12 Gifting Your Guides 42:19 Final Wrap Up ✨ Connect & work with  Lee  Facebook: facebook.com/leethemedium Tiktok: leewalczak Instagram: leewalczak Email: leewalczakvitality@gmail.com ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail Working with April 1:1

    Reconnecting To Purpose: A Conversation With Gina Cavalier

    Host April DeMille introduces the Own Your Essence podcast, her private psychic medium readings and coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery, then interviews author and mental health advocate Gina Cavalier, formerly a wellness program director at Sedona Mago Retreat Center and now working independently as The Liberated Healer. Gina shares decades of suicidal ideation, how she healed it, and emphasizes that suicidal ideation differs from other mental health issues and is worsened by shame, judgment, and criticism, including from toxic relationships. She describes tools such as daily grounding, meditation, running energy, visualizing soul “fingerprints,” and working with the spine and nervous system, plus proactively practicing tools before crises. They discuss burnout versus tiredness, taking mental health time, harmful “s****y advice” like manipulative spiritual upsells and victim-shaming manifesting talk, and the value of speaking suicidal thoughts aloud and building support pacts. Gina highlights her books, Planet Walking and Surviving Suicidal Ideation, and shares how to find purpose and gifts through one’s blueprint. Gina Cavalier is an author, speaker, mental health advocate, and Wellness Program Director at Sedona Mago Retreat Center. Her work bridges lived experience, nervous system awareness, and practical tools for reconnecting to purpose—especially for people navigating grief, burnout, or major life transitions. She is the author of Planet Walking: A Handbook for the Living and is known for bringing honesty, compassion, and grounded hope to conversations about healing.

    Mediumship Myths And Realities: A Heartfelt Talk With Laura West

    ***We’re bringing back one of our favourite Own Your Essence episodes. If you’re new here, welcome—and if you’ve heard it before, we hope it meets you in a new way this time.*** Hosts Lee Walczak and April DeMille welcome Laura West to the Own Your Essence Podcast for a roundtable Q&A on mediumship and psychic work. They discuss how future predictions reflect the most probable trajectory and can change due to free will, reader strengths, and other factors, with feedback helping readers refine accuracy. Common mediumship questions include whether departed loved ones are okay, around, and able to hear us; they emphasize spirits are “okay,” communication can be subtle, and grief or readiness can affect perception. The group covers setting firm boundaries with “chatty” spirits, personal power over one’s energy, and their view that curses only have impact if believed. They critique fear-based spiritual messaging, stress processing emotions, and explain they work only with loving entities and intention for the sitter’s highest good. Lee is a psychic medium as well as an intuitive mentor with over 10 years of experience. He has connected in mediumship readings with people of all different backgrounds from all over the world and has served as a guide for others, supporting them in navigating their own intuitive and mediumship abilities. Lee’s goal in all of his work is to help bridge the gap between this earthly plane and the other side and to also empower those he works with to receive and embrace true healing within their journeys. Facebook: facebook.com/leethemedium Tiktok: leewalczak Instagram: leewalczak Email: leewalczakvitality@gmail.com Laura West is a Registered Nurse, energy healer, psychic medium, author, podcast host, and TV host dedicated to both the sciences and spirituality. She has taken part in multiple international spiritual summits, has taught about intuition on several virtual platforms to students from all over the world, contributed to both national and international journals and magazines, and has been invited as a guest on several podcasts, again, both nationally and internationally.

    From Suffering To Serenity: Zac Russell On The Power Of Awareness

    Host April DeMille interviews Zac Russell about achieving freedom, peace, and contentment through present-moment living. Zac says his shift came through decades of suffering rooted in living in past/future narratives, and he emphasizes awareness, acceptance, and surrender, suggesting people record and review their conversations to notice limiting stories. He frames ego and “self” as language-based narratives formed in early childhood, links fight-or-flight (amygdala) to reduced creativity and increased illness via stress hormones, and argues goals, self-improvement, and belief systems reinforce scarcity and rumination. Discussing grief and trauma, he stresses acceptance and releasing frameworks about how life “should” be. He critiques advice-seeking and some psychic claims, shares hobbies and interests, and invites listeners to his Linktree for resources, an audio course, and contact. Zac Russell helps people experience peace, presence, and contentment in their lives. He believes that true freedom comes from letting go of limiting beliefs, stories, and narratives through awareness, and living fully in the only place that objectively exists: the present moment. https://linktr.ee/zacrussell ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail Working with April 1:1
