Show Notes

[2:39] Welcome to episode 42 of the Boom Vision podcast!

Folks, you are in for a special treat. Today I got to interview my friend, Laura West. I initially reached out to Laura last summer in 2022, when my intuition was guiding me to reach out to her on Instagram, to see if she's open having me as a guest on her podcast show, A Guided Life. And when we had our first zoom call, it was such a warm connection that I knew I had to have her join us on Boom Vision.

As a brief background:

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 participated 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. Now she hosts both her own podcast called A Guided Life and the TV show called Life From the Other Side on the Everyday Woman TV Network. She has also authored her book titled Guided.

[1:03:55] Final Thoughts

The biggest takeaway I got from today's interview is that beautiful things can happen when you start to allow yourself to connect with your intuition. However you want to define intuition, whether it's the portal of communication between us and the other side, or what I call your Soul GPS, or simply your gut feeling. your intuition is there to let you know if you're on the right course, or if you need to course correct. 

It is a powerful, innate ability that can serve you well in life if you allow yourself to learn how it wants to communicate with you. YOU GOT THIS!
