The Real Deal with Jen Costa

31 - You Already Know—Now Trust It

In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to trust yourself—whether that’s your intuition, your connection with spirit, or just your own inner knowing in everyday life. One of the most common questions I hear from people starting out in mediumship is: How do I know if what I’m getting is real or accurate? I break that down and share my honest experience with it. I also walk through the small and big moments that helped me build trust over time—and give you a few practical ways to start building that trust for yourself.

30 - Stream of Consciousness Writing: How It Can Open a Channel to Intuition

In this episode, I talk about stream of consciousness writing, sometimes called channeled or automatic writing. I share how this practice began during my mediumship journey and how writing without structure can open the door to intuition, guidance, and spiritual connection. I also walk through a simple way you can try this practice yourself.
