This week on Para(normal), we sit down with evidential trance medium Barbra Banner, a self-described “No BS psychic” whose abilities ignited during the pandemic after decades in crisis-response work. She shares jaw-dropping evidential stories (including a bagel scooper that converted a skeptic), explains why grief can block signs from loved ones, and reveals the subtle ways spirits communicate — coins, songs, symbols, timing. The conversation gets personal with live mini-readings, emotional validations, and one powerful takeaway: ✨ The only thing stronger than grief is love.
