When life gets difficult, many of us find ourselves searching for answers, reassurance, or simply a sense that we're not alone. We might turn to Tarot cards, seek guidance from a psychic, or wonder whether it's possible to connect with someone we've lost. But what are we really looking for in these experiences? And how do we make sense of the things we can't always explain?
In this Halloween-week episode of The Happier Life Project, Gabby Sanderson is joined by Linda Rauch, an internationally recognised psychic medium, Tarot reader, Wiccan priestess and author of the bestselling memoir The Psychic's Way, for a thought-provoking exploration of spirituality, intuition, and our search for connection, comfort and meaning.
With more than 40 years of experience reading Tarot, Linda draws on her lifelong relationship with the unseen world. Using Halloween as a starting point, she explains the true meaning of Samhain, the ancient Gaelic festival marking the transition from autumn into winter. Traditionally associated with honouring the dead, Samhain is rooted in the belief that the boundary between the living and spirit worlds becomes thinner at this time of year. This opens the door to a wider conversation about spirit communication, as Linda shares her perspective on the possibility of connecting with loved ones who have passed and why these experiences can feel so significant for those who have them.
Host Gabby and Linda explore the relationship between love, grief and consciousness, and consider why experiences that challenge our understanding of the world can hold such profound meaning. From spiritual guides and synchronicities to questions about the soul and what may exist beyond physical life, Linda reflects on some of the mysteries that have fascinated humanity for centuries.
This isn’t a conversation about proving or disproving psychic abilities. It's about understanding why people seek these experiences, what they find in them, and how to approach them with both openness and critical thought. Linda discusses the ethics of mediumship, how to recognise a genuine spiritual practitioner, and the importance of developing our intuition while remaining discerning about the guidance we choose to trust.
She also talks about the idea of living at a higher vibration, including how the people we spend time with, the environments we inhabit, and the choices we make can influence our energy and overall sense of wellbeing. It's an invitation to reflect on what helps us feel connected, grounded and resilient, particularly during life's more uncertain moments.
Whether you're drawn to spirituality, curious about the unexplained, or simply interested in why we seek reassurance and meaning during difficult times, this conversation invites you to approach life's mysteries with curiosity, openness and a healthy sense of discernment.
