As Pro-Witch and psychic medium Jenn Chandler sees it, everything is perfectly imperfect in its’ perfect way. So, that must apply for our imperfect audio on our first episode recorded on Zoom, right? Truly, we know this episode will leave you inspired and give the messages you need - from astral projection advice, a glimpse behind the veil seen by Jenn, or simply a reminder that gifts come from experiencing darkness. We’re here to remind you that we are only in the *illusion* of being trapped, and are being called to go even deeper within ourselves. In closing, Jenn (xojenniferjordanxo) gives us all a reading meant for whenever you may be listening to this. Now keep your third eye peeled for signs from the Universe today :)
