  • Emerging from Spiritual Emergency with Sunshine Grace
    Feb 25 2026

    In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Sunshine Grace who is a clairaudient spiritual medium and mental health ally whose journey began after what the West might call a “psychotic break” – but what she now understands was a spiritual emergency.

    During this episode Sunshine discusses what it was like to go from being an atheist to becoming a voice hearer over night and how this has led her on a journey to become a mental health and wellness advocate who is passionate about helping others by normalising psychic abilities. Sunshine now speaks on a global stage to help raise awareness in this area, using her voice to support her with this mission.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When spiritual awakening happens suddenly it can cause overwhelm and confusion, sometimes leading to spiritual emergency.
    • It is still taboo in some areas of society to talk about hearing voices, therefore, it is important that spiritual mediums have places to talk about their gifts in a non-judgemental and compassionate way.
    • People receive spiritual messages in different ways, clairaudience being one of these.
    • The Universe and Spirit present us with lessons for learning and growth.
    • People, animals and those in spirit can help us on our spiritual and healing journey.

    BEST MOMENTS

    · “I was an atheist my entire life, okay? And three and a half years ago, in the middle of my first Ayahuasca ceremony retreat, I started hearing a voice.”

    • “ It was like a million pins stuck in my body and they were vibrating. And, and I tried to connect to my body and ground and breathe. Nothing was working. And this hatch felt like it had opened up to the heavens. And I remember trying all these things, trying to close that damn hatch because that's what felt like it was causing this intense feeling in my body. Anybody who's had a kundalini awakening can probably relate to this. And I couldn't close the hatch. And ever since then, I've been a medium.”
    •  "It was embarrassing because I still have wounds as someone who went from being an atheist to a voice hearer overnight. And in a culture that stigmatises voice hearing, I have these wounds over people not believing me.”
    • "And spirit reminded me of that and then said there was this moment on stage where you had this fork in the road. This is me summarizing spirit. Doesn't sound like this exact, but there was this moment where you had this fork in the road. You're standing there on stage, you're feeling unsupported, you're frustrated, you feel alone. And you could have kept your mask on and separated yourself from the audience and pretend like you had your stuff together, but you didn't. You went the right way. You asked for help you, you spoke the truth, and that is the kind of integrity that you need as a medium, to speak, absolutely speak the truth. No matter what's happening.”
    •  "I had to like, blow the top off of all of this and come out and just say, look, y'all, I'm a medium and I wanna meet other mediums, because that's how we normalise it.”

    Dec 10 2025

    In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Claire Guichard who began her spiritually transformative journey after she started receiving messages in her dreams. These messages contained historical figures and images that she had to interpret to understand her path.

    It is from this process that Claire now not only helps other with their spiritual growth but has also found her calling, writing about these experiences to share with others.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • It can take practice to interpret your dreams.
    • Guidance and support from others can assist with spiritual awakening.
    • People often don’t talk about their dreamworld and their spiritual experiences due to what others may think.

    • Writing down and journaling key life moments and spiritual messages can help us to reflect on how far we have come.

    BEST MOMENTS

    • “I was having these dreams on a nightly basis. I didn't know what was happening, so I decided to find somebody that I could speak to about it. “
    • “They were very vivid. They weren't just dreams either. They are what I would call an experience.”
    •  ”And it's not an easy journey. And I say to everybody, you know, it's a rollercoaster. It'll take you on so many twists and turns, up and down, inside out.”
    •  ”It does keep coming back throughout your life, you know? You have something that’s been there for so long and it just keeps coming back until you actually address it and deal with it and allow yourself to accept it.”
    •  ”Don't be afraid to really follow your dreams because they are so important to who you are. And if you're only brave enough to make that step onto that journey, you'll never regret it.”

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Meditation can assist with spiritual growth and transformation.
    • Spiritual awakening can sometimes cause fear and confusing, therefore guidance and support on that journey can be beneficial.
    • Kundalini awakening can occur through connection to spiritual practices.
    • Each individual’s spiritual journey is unique to them.
    • Spiritual awakening can make us face our inner shadows.
    • As spiritual awakening progresses you can experience different realms of consciousness.

    BEST MOMENTS

    •  ”Meditation has always been a cornerstone of my spiritual journey.”
    •  ”There's definitely some fear that comes up because as you access these new realms of consciousness that you weren't even aware of before, your life starts to respond to those, that new awareness as well. So everything can kind of get shaken up and confusing.”
    • “But you kind of have to train the nervous system in order to be able to hold that increased energy and consciousness and awareness.”
    • “Even if it doesn't feel like it's this big intense event, you are, really being challenged in those points of what feels like a plateau. It's really not. It's integration and embodiment of a new frequency.”
    • “ You know, especially as you turn on the light of your awareness, you see more. And what you see more of is not just the light, it's also the subconscious. It's the dark. It's those crevices within yourself that you didn't realize were there. And that can be in this lifetime, it can be across lifetimes.”
    • “ I would say that you're more powerful than you think you are. I would say that you are the most important, powerful creator that there is. We're just seeing each other from different fractals of experience, and so service. Which is both healing yourself and contributing to others is healing the whole, it all is connected.”
