My sister committed suicide by starving herself to death. As you can imagine, it’s a heartache I carry with me, so it’s very easy for me to empathize with people who are facing depression and other mental health issues, and it’s very important to me to help others to overcome challenges and be happy.

Her choice to starve herself into oblivion was not something I could prevent, but in hindsight, I’ve come to understand the complex web of challenges she faced. Overwhelming grief after our mother’s passing, an immobilizing injury, and other unseen battles created a storm too heavy for her to bear.

Her story, and my own struggles with mental health, have deepened my empathy for anyone navigating life’s hardest moments. Like her, I have felt the weight of multiple burdens pressing down at once.

As a teenager, I vividly recall the day my mother found me curled up on the bathroom floor, unable to rise above my own despair. She suggested I get help, and that one act of compassion became a turning point in my life.

At the time, I thought my pain stemmed solely from an existential crisis, but I now see the nuanced factors contributing to my state—adapting to a new school and immersing myself in dark, melancholic music. The lesson was clear: when life feels overwhelming, rarely is there just one cause.

Years later, in college, when I sensed the shadow of depression returning, I created what I now call a “happiness plan.” It wasn’t complex, but its small, intentional actions held immense power:

• Choose uplifting music. Sounds matter, so I curated a playlist that lifted my spirit.
• Care about my appearance. A few extra moments to feel confident in my reflection made a world of difference.
• Transform my surroundings. Gone were the dark decorations, replaced by bright, joyful colors and tropical prints.

These changes may sound trivial, but they created a profound shift. Piece by piece, they built a foundation for joy that carried me through challenges. By year’s end, I had met my soulmate and landed my dream job.

This experience sparked a lifelong passion for understanding happiness and transformation. Through years of exploring psychology, habit formation, and self-help wisdom, one truth stands out: success and fulfillment are rarely the result of a single effort—they’re the result of synergy.

The Power of Synergy
Synergy is when multiple factors combine to create an outcome greater than the sum of their parts. It’s why small actions—like listening to uplifting music or adding color to your space—can make a seemingly outsized impact.

But where does the magic come in?

Magic Meets Synergy
As a psychic medium, I connect with energies beyond the physical world. I pick up details—names, personalities, and stories from the other side—that still amaze me every time. For me, this ability to bridge worlds feels like pure magic.

I’ve also immersed myself in the law of attraction and the art of manifestation. Setting intentions, journaling, meditating, and creating vision boards are tools that have shaped my life and the lives of others.

That’s why I’ve been sharing more self-care insights on the Channeling White Light social media pages. Because true transformation comes from combining the spiritual and the practical—the magic and the synergy—to create real, lasting change.

Introducing Magical Synergy
Magical Synergy is more than an idea; it’s a movement. It’s about embracing the magic of life while piecing together the elements that help us thrive. It’s about aligning with the highest good and becoming our best selves, step by step, with intention and love.

I am so excited to share more about this journey with you. Together, we will explore ways to elevate your life, nurture your spirit, and create the synergy that leads to true happiness.

Stay tuned for more Magical Synergy. The best is yet to come.

In my early years of mediumship work, a lovely couple came to my home for a mediumship reading. As I initiated the channeling session, the couple’s son immediately came through. He described how he’d died in a tragic boating accident. My heart went out to the grieving parents, and I was glad the boy had come through with validating details right from the start to let his parents know he was okay.

A moment later, I felt a mother’s energy, and I described that to my clients as well. I wasn’t sure whose mom it was at that point, just that I was getting my symbol for mother. My clients nodded in understanding.

Immediately after that, I heard a name: Mary. I relayed this to my clients, who agreed, they fully understood.

Since the boy’s mom was physically sitting in front of me, I asked the couple who the mother was. They told me it was the Blessed Mother Mary. I was floored. I’d only been a channeling medium for a few years; I certainly felt much too humble to imagine a holy icon would ever come through me!

The couple then explained how they’d once had a phone reading with a different medium who’d told them Mother Mary was with their son, and they let me know they’d actually been praying to ask Mother Mary to watch over the boy.

Once I heard these two additional validating details, I allowed myself to release my doubts as a new medium and trust what I was getting. At that point, the Blessed Mother Mary allowed me to feel the full force of her love, and the divine, spiritual bliss enveloped me with an intensity I shall never forget.

WHY I’M WEARING ORANGE…

Note: You may also enjoy watching my video about this here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKqTOV8yzA

Some of you might be interested in why I’m wearing orange today, on the 4th of July. This is our Independence Day here in the USA. It’s the day we celebrate our declaration of independence from the United Kingdom on July 4, 1776, and that’s something I’m proud of – the act of taking a stand against being ruled by an entity that doesn’t represent us, and forging our own way into a future we’re building based on our own ideals. But even with the birth of a new nation – or perhaps especially during the birth of a new nation – it’s important to respect and honor other nations, other cultures, other lifestyles that are different from our own.

The enslavement of Africans was an egregious violation of basic human dignity, and the historical atrocities against Native Americans are unthinkable.

Yesterday, July 3, 2021, during a psychic reading, I spontaneously channeled a Native American spirit guide called Eagle Spirit. At the time, I didn’t understand why he was coming through, so I simply mentioned my perceptions to my clients in case it became relevant to them later.

After the reading, I was having a conversation with a friend, Gabriella Curtis, at Instant Karma. As we discussed possible 4th of July plans, she mentioned wearing orange and seeking out protests related to the news (that had just barely begun to reach mainstream media) describing the recent discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves of indigenous children found near residential schools in Canada.

Beginning in the 1820s in Canada, about 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their parents and put into residential schools, essentially to try to wipe out native culture. (1) The U.S. also began implementing this type of boarding school with the Indian Civilization Act of 1819 to culturally assimilate Indigenous children by forcibly relocating them from their families and communities to distant residential facilities. (9) In addition to dishonoring their indigenous wisdom and way of life by indoctrinating them into an educational system based on Anglo-American standards, death rates for Native American students were six and a half times higher than for other ethnic groups, due to infectious disease, malnutrition, overcrowding, poor sanitary conditions, and students weakened by overwork. Illnesses and deaths often went unreported to parents. (2)

While, to my knowledge, murder of indigenous children has not been proven at this time, there are known documented cases of abuse at residential schools, including mental, physical, and sexual abuse. (2) Indigenous parents were not allowed to visit their children at the schools, and abuse and injuries were known to be routine. (8)

Just over a month ago, on May 27, 2021, Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation (Kamloops Indian Band) of Canada released a statement confirming the discovery (via ground penetrating radar) of unmarked graves of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Some of those were children as young as three years old. The deaths had been suspected for years, but this discovery confirmed the tragedy. (3)

They had been suspected, in part, because of a report, issued back in 2015 by Canada’s National Center for Truth and Reconciliation, estimating that, of the more than 150,000 children who attended these schools, more than 6,000 died, never returning home. They attribute what happened at these schools to “cultural genocide.” (4)

On June 24, 2021, the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan announced it had detected an additional 751 unmarked graves beside the former Marieval Indian Residential school, bringing the latest total (as of this writing) to 966 indigenous children’s unmarked graves. (5)

Back in 2008, Canada’s Prime Minister publicly apologized to Canada’s Indigenous Peoples and admitted that residential schools were part of a Canadian policy on forced Indigenous assimilation (6). And on June 3, 2021, Canada released a plan to address some of these injustices, including promising CAN$2.2 billion in total, based on the recommendations of a 2019 report by a national inquiry into as many as 4,000 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG). The plan also specified that 27 million Canadian dollars would go to Indigenous communities to help Tornado Cash in the search for graves at 138 other residential schools. (7)

On June 22, 2021, the United States has responded to the discovery of unmarked indigenous children’s graves in Canada by launching its own Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative, which will carry with it a report on potential burial sites related to mandated Native American boarding schools. (8)

Presumably, the indigenous boarding school deaths now confirmed in Canada will likely be confirmed in the US in the future.

When I heard the news of these children’s deaths, I was heartbroken. I shed many tears, and I prayed for guidance. Although I know I am not personally responsible for these and other atrocities in our society, as a citizen of this world, I believe it’s up to each of us to embody the spirit of compassion that will move us beyond the type of mindset that makes these abuses possible. I believe that grieving our society’s egregious wrongdoings is an important step towards healing.

I thought back to Eagle Spirit, the Native American spirit guide who had spontaneously come to me earlier that day, and I realized how relevant the timing was. He brought me a poignant connection to his indigenous culture, and he did so by using an eagle, a common symbol that is also used in American patriotism.

At the moment I had that thought, I looked down and found a perfect feather on the ground in front of me. I took it as a sign that the melancholy, the sorrow, the grief I was feeling should be a catalyst for me to help others assimilate our feelings of societal remorse and inspire us to embody a deeper compassion towards others.

So, what does wearing orange have to do with any of this? Simply put, it’s a conversation starter. A way to bring awareness.

In Canada, on September 30, there is a national holiday called Orange Shirt Day, (also known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) designed to educate people and promote awareness about the cultural genocide of the residential school system and the impact it has had on Indigenous communities. (9)

The orange shirt became a symbol of the awareness movement based on the story of Phyllis Webstad, a student of the Mission residential school in Canada in 1973. When she was six years old, she lived with her grandmother on the Dog Creek Reserve. They didn’t have much money, but the grandmother managed to save enough to get Phyllis a new outfit for her first day of school. It was a bright, shiny, orange shirt with a string lace up the front. Phyllis was so excited!

When she got to the Mission, they stripped her down and took away all her personal clothing, in favor of the impersonal attire they had to wear at the school. They never gave her back her shirt, and she couldn’t understand why. It always represented how her feelings and her individual value didn’t matter. She explains, “All the children were crying, and no one cared.” (10)

In light of recent events, some Canadians opted to wear or display orange on Canada Day, July 1, in support of the healing process. (11)

I may be just one person, but I feel injustice deeply, and I feel intense passion about sharing my truth. I want to speak out and take a stand proclaiming that everyone has value, regardless of our differences, or in fact, perhaps because of our differences.

In addition to researching and sharing this post, I will also be hosting a fundraiser for the Native Women’s Wilderness work on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. (12) This will be an online group reading on Wednesday, July 28 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Watch for upcoming details on my website at ChannelingWhiteLight.com (13) and on Channeling White Light social media channels.

Perhaps you feel that you are just one person who may not be able to have much impact. I challenge you to take at least one step, regardless of how small, to be the type of person who shares a vision of a more compassionate world. Whether you choose to wear orange, share this post, or simply offer someone a random act of kindness, I implore you to help take our shared grief and turn it into a movement of making a positive difference in the world.

Thank you.
