Almost 30

What if the root of your anxiety or self-doubt is a spiritual wound you didn’t even know you had? In this episode, Taylor Paige joins Krista to break down the “spirit wound”—why so many of us feel disconnected from our own intuitive power + how reclaiming it changes everything. 

Taylor Paige, a sought-after evidential medium, shares her personal journey—from crippling fear of the dark to leading packed workshops that empower women to contact their guides directly. Plus, learn why you might fear your own intuitive gifts, from media programming to religion, and more. 

Taylor teaches practical, life-changing tools for releasing fear, healing old narratives, and stepping boldly into your purpose. This conversation is your permission slip to ditch external validation + ignite your spiritual self-trust—so you can manifest abundance, clarity, and true peace within.

We also talk about:

The psychology behind why we fear the dark + how it blocks your power  

How Hollywood + media reinforce spiritual disempowerment  

Overcoming religious trauma + rewriting your story with God  

What evidence-based mediumship actually looks like (hint: it’s not “storytime”)  

The myth of “evil spirits” + how to genuinely feel safe  

Establishing boundaries with energies + why your intuition is the ultimate guide  

Tangible steps to heal from anxiety, religious programming, and lack of self-trust  

“Sitting in the Power”—a transformative practice for connecting with Spirit  

How energetic sensitivity is actually a sign of spiritual gifts, not weakness  

Connecting with your spirit guides (plus what everyone gets wrong about them)
