The Real Deal with Jen Costa

TW: The following episode has a brief mention of suicide (6:25-7:35). Please take care when listening. If you’re having suicidal thoughts or need someone to talk to, please call the National Suicide Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988.
In this episode I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with signs on my spiritual journey as a medium. I answer some common questions about signs, such as how to know if a sign is meant for you, how to discover your personal sign, and what do the signs mean?
Additionally I’ll talk about some topics related to signs:
Why hawks have been such an important sign for me and continue to be
Needing a signier sign (how many signs is enough to make us believe)
How others have experienced my sign with me
differentiating between a “hello” from your spirit guides and a confirmation of your thoughts
How signs have brought me comfort and made me feel I’m connected to something greater
How I receive signs through songs
The fine line between asking for a sign and becoming obsessed with asking for them
Tips for asking for a sign - being specific is key
How signs can help build trust with yourself and your team

In this episode I talk about coming out as woo. I realized there were a lot of correlations between coming out as gay and coming out as a medium. I’ll talk briefly about my coming out story, and my experiences coming out as a medium to family, friends and my partner. This episode also touches upon:
The weight and meaning that words carry
How people had different opinions when I came out as woo-some positive, some negative, some neutral
How my fear was really anticipation of what others responses would be
How my self acceptance grows over time
How being true and authentic to yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and others
When you can show up and be you there’s nothing better than that

Recording this episode brought to the surface my own struggles with fear. I was fearful of being heard, and exposing myself to the opinions and potential criticism of others. Fear for me, fear comes from a place of internalized past trauma that I’ve carried throughout my life. Unfortunately fear and anxiety often go hand in hand. Lucky me, I have them both. When you feel fear, you often feel it in a certain place in your body. For me it tends to manifest as a tightness in my chest. I’ve learned that the best way to overcome fear is to face it head on and do the thing that scares me. It’s not always easy but I’ve found that once I push through the fear, I enter a state of flow, where I lose track of time.
This journey is a long one, but I challenge you to confront your own fears. When you do, tell someone and celebrate!
NOTE: (I initially considered outsourcing this episode out to be edited but I pushed past my fear and did it myself.)

On the road to becoming a psychic medium there’s sometimes a triggering event that peaks our curiosity, and mine came from starting to meditate. Meditation opened the door to me to seeing an apparition…three times. So of course the next thing I did was google “psychic medium” to figure out what the heck was going on. (Who else are you supposed to call?) Needless to say after meeting with a medium it was a lot to digest and I was mindblown. Thankfully, I found myself in a development circle which gave me confidence, clarity, humbling experiences and a place to explore it all.
