The Everyday Medium: Jamie Butler on Awakening Your Psychic Abilities
For more than three decades, Jamie Butler — known as The Everyday Medium — has helped people trust the part of themselves they were taught to ignore. A natural-born clairvoyant, Jamie has authored multiple books, taught internationally, assisted law enforcement on unsolved cases, hosted her own YouTube show, and co-founded the Love and Light Institute. In this episode, she joins Harmony and Russell to make mediumship, channeling, and energy work feel accessible, grounded, and — true to her philosophy — "not woo woo, it's true true."
Jamie walks us through her earliest memories of seeing what others couldn't, the family history of intuitive gifts she didn't learn about until college, and the two years she spent learning how to turn her abilities on and off. She breaks down the three levels of trance channeling, explains the difference between feelings and emotions, and leaves us with simple homework for reconnecting to our own intuition — whether we're "heady" or "feeling" people.
