Grief, the Other Side, and Signs From Your Loved Ones | Medium Barbara Banner

About this episode

Barbara Banner discusses her journey from trauma response to mediumship and shares insights on grief and communication with the deceased.

Barbara Banner didn't set out to become a medium. She spent over 35 years volunteering on crisis hotlines, in emergency rooms, and at police response scenes — showing up for people on the worst days of their lives. Then, at an age when most people are winding down, her house started going haywire: lights flashing, objects falling off shelves, orbs appearing. It was hard to ignore. In this conversation, Barbara shares how a career in trauma response turned out to be the perfect preparation for communicating with the dead, why skepticism can actually block a reading, and what the "other side" is like according to the spirits she speaks with (spoiler: no anger, no judgment — only love and joy). She also walks Jared and Ian through a simple exercise that helps grieving people receive signs from their loved ones on their own — no medium required. The stories she shares, including a disabled daughter whose gold nugget was simply being "normal" on the other side, are hard to forget. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just curious — this one will make you think differently about grief, loss, and what it means to be here. 🔗 Learn more about Barbara at BannerMedium.com 📖 Read her…
