In this episode, I’m talking about gifts: the ones you were born with (like them or not) and the ones you’ve cultivated over time.

I share more of my own story here: growing up as a Christian with legit intuitive prowess, apprenticing spiritual teachers across many traditions, learning the real work of mediumship, and learning how to carry spiritual abilities in a practical, grounded way.

We talk about my gifts and yours. How intuition is both a gift and a skill, protecting your gifts, and why using what you’ve been given is both an honor and a responsibility.

I also reflect on indigenous stewardship, bridging more universal spiritual ideas with Christian faith and language, and what it means to contribute in uncertain times.

Your gift may not look mystical. It may be patience, the best sloppy joe’s this side of Detroit or public speaking, crocheting, listening or leadership.

Whatever it is, it’s not accidental. And it’s not meant to sit unused. This episode can help.

3 Takeaways for you:

• If a strength has been consistent in your life, it’s not a coincidence.
• It’s yours to use, share and offer up. Stop treating it like it’s optional.
• Intuition can be strengthened.
• You trust yourself by listening, acting, and setting boundaries not by waiting to feel certain.
• Your gifts create impact when you use them.
• Keeping them small keeps your influence small. Using them changes things.
