What if guidance is always available to us, but we’ve forgotten how to recognize it?
We often ask for direction when life feels uncertain, an old identity no longer fits, or the way forward can’t be reached through logic alone. But sometimes, even when an answer appears, it can be difficult to know what we’re hearing. Is it intuition, fear, wishful thinking, or something beyond us?
Laurie Parente works within that uncertainty.
As an intuitive guide, angel medium, and energetic healer, Laurie helps people reconnect with their soul essence and develop a deeper relationship with the guidance available to them. Her work considers guidance not as a rare gift reserved for a select few, but as something that may reach us through intuition, bodily sensations, energy, spirit guides, signs, synchronicities, and loved ones in spirit.
In this conversation, Laurie shares why spiritual guidance can sound remarkably similar to our own voice and how the way it feels may help us recognize its source. While fear can create contraction, urgency, or a sense of smallness, intuition may arrive with curiosity, support, or expansion. Learning to distinguish between them requires us to move beyond thought and pay closer attention to what is happening within the body.
The conversation also explores what can prevent us from receiving guidance.
For empathic people, that process may be further complicated by carrying feelings or energy that did not originate with them. Reconnection therefore involves more than listening for an answer. It requires gently releasing what has obscured the connection.
Laurie also shares her perspective on grief and the relationships that may continue after someone dies. Drawing on her own experience with her father, she describes how unresolved human relationships can take on a different form through spiritual connection, and how loved ones may become part of the guidance and support surrounding us.
Laurie’s approach is not to begin by demanding answers to life’s largest questions. It’s about starting with ordinary decisions, remaining curious about what appears, and gradually building trust in the relationship.
This episode asks a deeper question than whether guidance is available: are we quiet, open, and trusting enough to recognize how it is already reaching us?
