Spirit Baby Medium - Kelly Ann Meehan, MA

Welcome Mama

04/15/25 • 44 min

Welcome to this Witch and the Woo Episode (sans our witch) where Sam sits down with @spiritbabymedium Kelly Meehan to discuss our babie's spirits. Are they waiting for us? How do we know if a baby is calling out to us? How can this be healing after a pregnancy loss or child loss?
This is a pretty profound episode that left me reeling. And if some of it goes over your head, same! But think of this as a journey of enlightenment to a new idea of potential reality.

It is WILD, you guys. Enjoy!
