jillamysager.com Jill Amy Sager, a professional Tarot reader, channeler, and author whose profound work stands out in the ever-growing world of metaphysics and spiritual self-development. Jill's journey and unique perspective offer your audience a refreshing and relatable approach to accessing universal wisdom. Jill's life has been anything but conventional. Born with physical disabilities that shaped her path, she embraced her identity as an outsider, channeling her challenges into a remarkable connection with “Guidance”—a collective energy of love and wisdom she describes as “a radio frequency that's always on.” This connection has led her to help countless individuals navigate life's uncertainties through Tarot and channeled readings. Here's why Jill would make a fascinating guest for your show: Unique Approach to Spirituality: Jill's work isn't rooted in academic philosophy or spiritual dogma but in deeply personal experiences and an authentic connection with universal energy. Her insights are both accessible and transformative. A Personal Journey with Universal Lessons: From growing up with physical disabilities to finding empowerment in unconventional choices, Jill's story inspires resilience and self-acceptance. She's an advocate for using personal struggles as a catalyst for growth. Timely Expertise: With Tarot and metaphysics surging in popularity, Jill offers practical advice on how to discern trustworthy practitioners and harness these tools for personal empowerment. A Compelling New Book: Jill's latest work, Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges, delivers actionable wisdom on universal topics like anger, forgiveness, grief, and abundance. Her book provides readers with tools to embrace self-love and navigate life's complexities with clarity. Empowering Insights for All: Whether it's learning to connect with the universe, finding hope amidst suffering, or shifting from hopelessness to joy, Jill's teachings resonate across diverse audiences. A conversation with Jill could explore: The moment she first connected with “Guidance” and how it transformed her life. Practical steps for listeners to tap into their intuition and receive messages from the universe. Her perspective on why metaphysics is experiencing a cultural resurgence. The powerful correlation she's observed between overcoming physical limitations and deep spiritual connection. In an interview with you, Jill Amy Sager can answer questions such as: How did you get started reading Tarot cards? You call the energy you channel “Guidance.” Why? And how did you get started channeling? How does “Guidance” appear to you? How can someone benefit from a Tarot or channeled reading? If someone wanted to learn how to receive messages from the Universe, the other side of the veil, how would you advise them to begin? Right now interest in metaphysics, especially Tarot, is experiencing a popularity like never before. Why do you think this has happened? What should someone look for when seeking a reading from a psychic, medium or channeler? In your book you refer to how being physically disabiled from birth shaped your life. Do you think there is a correlation between being physically disabled being able to channel? Many in the world are suffering, angry, or unhappy. How can someone make the change from feeling hopeless to feeling better or is that even possible? Why did you decide to write your book, “Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges.” What do you hope people take away from reading your book? If you were to pass along Guidance's wisdom, is there one thing you would tell us that you've learned that might be helpful? Jill's warmth, wisdom, and authenticity make her a standout voice in today's spiritual landscape. She'd love to bring her insights to your listeners and offer a live reading or answer audience questions to make the conversation even more engaging.

Episode 3002: Shawn Achor, a Harvard University alumnus and author of "The Happiness Advantage," sheds light on the power of positive psychology in managing chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis. He emphasizes how small, daily practices like sending appreciative emails, smiling, expressing gratitude, focusing on positive experiences, engaging in fun activities, and meditating can significantly boost well-being, optimism, and life satisfaction, even in challenging circumstances.
