EVEN MORE about this episode!

Dead people booking appointments sounds impossible—until it actually happens.

In this episode, Julie Ryan and Barbra Banner reveal real stories of spirit communication, evidential mediumship, and messages from loved ones that defy explanation.

Barbra’s journey into mediumship didn’t begin gently—it started with undeniable paranormal activity in her home that quickly escalated into full spirit communication. With no prior spiritual background, she stepped into her abilities almost overnight, delivering highly specific, evidential messages that leave clients stunned, comforted, and often laughing through their tears. From wildly accurate details to unexpected (and sometimes humorous) messages from loved ones, her work proves that connection with the other side is far more real—and far more personal—than most people realize.

This conversation is filled with moments that will make you question everything: from deeply emotional validations that bring peace to grieving families, to astonishing synchronicities that simply can’t be explained. Julie and Barbra explore what makes mediumship truly healing, why trusting what you receive is everything, and how intuition is far more natural—and accessible—than we’ve been led to believe. If you’ve ever wondered whether your loved ones are still with you… this episode may give you the answer you’ve been looking for.
