Have you ever been burned out and struggled with what you wanted to do in life or what direction to take? Would you like to shift from a life driven by work to a more fulfilling one that fills you up and resonates more deeply on a spiritual level, but don’t have a clue to make that happen? If so, you will find answers to these questions and more in this episode of A Psychic’s Story.

Amina AITai is a holistic business and career coach and proud immigrant. As a woman of color of Iraqi descent, she also often works with marginalized communities to help them realize possibilities in a way that honors their experiences.

Nichole and Amina discuss how Amina’s work-related burnout manifested into autoimmune diseases and how she learned, healed, and spiritually grew from it. Amina now works with people to help them find direction, meaning, and purpose in their lives too. She explains how the great work of our lives falls within the intersection of a five-part framework – what our gifts are (what we’re most genius at), what we value in this world, what we want to impact, what we need, and what brings us joy.

Amina also shares how we can discover what lights us up and describes the common pitfalls we often make that keep us from taking the next steps to unearthing our purpose and living a more fulfilled life.

To learn more about Amina, book a session or listen to her podcast Anima Change Your Life, visit her website, or follow her on Facebook or Instagram. Also, be on the lookout for her forthcoming book, The Ambition Trap, with Penguin / The Open Field.

Do you believe there are monsters among us? When you hear topics about the goatman, mirrored men, missing time, black-eyed children, and bigfoot, your first inclination may be to dismiss these as nothing but lore. However, when presented in an investigative-journalist style, the topics become more believable…and dare we say…real. Tune in this week to hear incredible stories that will stretch your imagination or even blow your mind.

In this episode, Nichole has an intriguing conversation with Derek Hayes, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast Monsters Among Us. In his podcast, Derek provides an anthology of paranormal stories from all over the world told by the witnesses themselves.

Be sure to listen to the end of the episode, where Derek switches roles and interviews Nichole about her psychic abilities and experiences.
