Listener Stories: Episode 49: Healing, Intuition & the Power of Choice (with Lana Mitchell)

This episode includes discussion of childhood trauma and addiction. Listener discretion is advised.

Lana Mitchell always had an intuitive side. Learning to trust it was another story.

Her intuitive experiences began in childhood, but fear, shame, trauma, and other life experiences complicated her relationship with what she was sensing. As Lana moved through her own spiritual growth and transformation, healing became part of what helped her reconnect with herself and begin trusting her intuition again.

You first heard part of Lana’s journey in “Spiritual Transformation & Growth” with Jesse Keene. Now she joins Nichole Bigley to go deeper into the story behind it.

In “Healing, Intuition & the Power of Choice,” Nichole and Lana explore:

How Lana understands the difference between intuition and psychic ability, and how practice helped her better understand the energy she was already sensing.

The childhood experiences that created fear and shame around her intuitive side and contributed to her hiding it for years.

How trauma, addiction, and self-abandonment affected the relationship Lana had with herself, and what rebuilding self-trust has looked like.

The powerful signs she received after asking the Universe for confirmation about moving forward with energy healing, and what they taught her about fear and guidance.

Why empowerment and choice have become central to the way Lana approaches her own healing and the work she now does with others.

The daily “micro moments” where Lana believes transformation takes place as we become more aware of our patterns and begin choosing differently.

For Lana, much of this comes back to learning to trust herself again. Her spiritual growth and healing have helped her reconnect with her intuition, recognize where she has choice, and see how small decisions can gradually change the way we move through life.
