"She Came Into This Lifetime to Spread Joy and Transcend Challenges" With Guest Intuitive Channel Stephanie Banks

"She had a really, really good life," says  Stephanie about her mother. That said, it was a good life, yet complicated.

As a young girl, Joanie had many friends, and so many were drawn in by her joyful energy, big heart and infectious laugh. Joanie's father owned a women's clothing store and  she got to ware  the newest designs of dresses and outfits from the shop on a regular basis. She love her father and she love all the beautiful clothes.   Unfortunately, Joanie's father died suddenly when she was pregnant with Stephanie. Stephanie believes that her mother never fully recovered from this loss.

In time,  Joanie taught her daughter how to nurture female relationships and Stephanie is so thankful for that. Joanie would spend time on the phone speaking with her girlfriends and she was a wonderful letter writer. She often wrote letters and sent care packages to Stephanie when away at camp, etc.

Later on in life, unfortunately Joanie had been misdiagnosed by her doctors, before they started treating her for dementia.  Communication eventually became challenging for mother and daughter and Stephanie wanted to figure out a way for both women to be able to communicate.  Stephanie started engaging more with the right side or "intuitive" side of her brain in hopes of opening up their connection through mind, body and spirit.

After a long journey,  Stephanie was relieved when  her mother passed away. Stephanie insists that if she had do it all over again, she wouldn't change a thing. Though it was tough growing up with a mom with mental illness, there was so much love and appreciation between them. Stephanie is also grateful to her father who never wavered with his support, compassion  and attention and was always by  his wife's side, giving and getting her the best care possible.

It's been many years since Joanie passed and yet Stephanie is in conversation, visual and spiritual connection with her mother on a regular basis. Including the signs that her mother sends via  the red cardinal outside the window.

Stephanie is so thankful for her journey with her mother because my guest  feels "a really sharp ability to read energy."  Stephanie shares "that's part of the lesson of this walk in life. We con't have control of the things we presume to have control over." My guest is so grateful for the "nudges" that she started getting years ago. And even more thankful that she started recognizing and acknowledging these intuitive messages.

She's built a career helping others because of her mother's experience  and she's so happy her mother is still a huge part of her life. Stephanie shares "through my channeling gifts, I reconnect people to their soul’s wisdom and innate intuition to create a life of their wildest imagining."

Stephanie is  asked regularly "how do I know if I have intuitive gives like you"?  "My answer is this: we ALL have powerful intuitive gifts. All of us. But we don’t all use these gifts because somewhere along the journey we were taught to mistrust ourselves or fear our gifts. That’s the bad news. The good news is: you can reclaim your gifts at any time! Your intuition never goes away.

Speaking with Stephanie was so uplifting and a reminder  to not ignore the signal or "nudges" as Stephanie refers to the signals or messages we gets from a loved one and/or a higher power.
