Whether you’re a believer in the occult or not, listen in to my eye opening conversation with Meghan Hart who’s recently come out of the ‘Medium Closet.’ From a young age Meghan was drawn to astrology and exposed to the supernatural. It wasn’t until her fathers passing 7 years ago when ‘Spirit visited her,’ that her path into Mediumship began. Since then, Meghan has connected with several spirits ‘on the other side’ and says ‘all of our loved ones are with us every step of the way, once you open your heart to the idea and ask for the signs, they’ll start flooding in.’ While Meghan is  100% committed to her path as a Medium, it's taken a lot of courage stepping into this new identity from her own self-doubt about her abilities to fears of being judged by friends and family.  Meghan is generously offering donation-based readings.
