Your Intuition Isn’t Yours. It’s Spirit Talking. Psychic Explains | Barbara Banner

**Barbra Banner** (0:00)
I communicate with the other side. Something happened to me. My house went into a paranormal whole thing, just things were flying around and lights flashing, and I said, I think Spirit wants to talk to me.
I was never afraid of it.

Are you an empath?

**Barbra Banner** (0:15)
I'm a normal person who does something a little abnormal.

Barbara Banner is a psychic and medium who believes she has figured out how to increase intuitive abilities.

**Barbra Banner** (0:27)
We grew up seeing is believing. That doesn't happen in my arena. It's believing is seeing.

You get information from people who are no longer alive.

**Barbra Banner** (0:37)
They are a different kind of alive. Their consciousness is alive and lives on forever. I can help to lighten their grief, communicating or connecting with someone that was just everything in their life.
We make a soul contract before we come out. There's your guides, there's your angels. We have a whole group that works for us and with us. I feel like intuition is really a message from spirit. Opening up to the possibility. I think everybody should have access to this gift.

Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:20)
My champions, I have sold my chariot on Carvana to as a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast.
An offer you can feast on. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up fees may apply.

Hey everyone, it's Mayim and Jonathan. We have a very special treat today. Some of you may be familiar with Suzanne Giesemann, who we have spoken to several times on the podcast. Today we're going to speak to someone who is a evidential medium.
She also does trance work and she studied the techniques that Suzanne Giesemann has talked about on our podcast.
And we thought this would be a really, really awesome surprise to bring to our Substack community. We have a conversation with Barbara Banner. In our conversation with Barbara, we have her explain some of the incredible readings she's done, some of the things that she's been brought to believe, and some of the things that she knows about spirit, guides, and the power that mediums have to communicate, especially to people who are grieving.

**Jonathan Cohen** (3:41)
She talks about the power of connecting with our loved ones to get over grief, how we can all increase our intuitive abilities, and that, you know, something that resonated with me, that we're all capable of being mediums, that that information is out there, and something that I've said and I've told you, that we can tune to the frequency of this information, that it's all out there. Mayim also tackles skepticism. What does it mean to be skeptical and to approach interacting with this world in a skeptical way?

**Mayim Bialik** (4:13)
We're so excited to share this. We know so many of you on Substack are interested in spirit guides and the other realm and what that kind of communication would look like. So we're so excited to present this very special conversation with Barbra Banner.
Break it down. Barbra Banner, welcome to the breakdown.

**Barbra Banner** (4:31)
I'm so happy to be here.

**Jonathan Cohen** (4:32)
I think there's a divide in our audience between those people who are all bought in and are like, yes, I get it. And those people who are still kind of unsure.
