A Psychic's Story

Nichole Bigley welcomes Dr. Bonnie Buckner — founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery® — on A Psychic’s Story to explore how dreams, intuition, and inner imagery connect to deeper insight and guidance.

Bonnie shares how dreaming is not random, but a language of experience — reflecting both what is happening within and the parts of us that may not yet be fully recognized. Through her work, she introduces the concept of the Secret Mind, a space of inner knowing that becomes more accessible through dreams and imagery.

She also shares how early experiences shaped her path, including powerful dreams in childhood, and how a lifelong connection to dreaming evolved into the work she does today.

Together, Nichole and Bonnie explore how dreams can offer clarity, reveal potential, and support both personal and professional decision-making — as well as how people can begin to strengthen their connection to dreaming (while awake and asleep) over time.

This episode is a reminder that the answers you’re seeking may already exist within you — and that your dreams may be one of the ways they come through. Listen to it to hear:

What dreams actually are and why they occur.

How dreaming connects to intuition and psychic ability.

The meaning of the Secret Mind and how it influences awareness.

How dreams reflect both challenges and untapped potential.

Ways to begin remembering and working with dreams more intentionally.

Nichole Bigley chats with intuitive medium and energy healer Katie Haegele to explore how intuition, energy, and healing intersect — and how reconnecting with yourself often begins through life’s most unexpected moments.

Katie shares how a life-altering injury became the catalyst for that reconnection — leading her through years of physical pain, emotional transformation, and ultimately back to her intuitive gifts. 

Together, they explore what it truly means to be psychic, how intuition naturally exists within all of us, and why grounding into the body is essential for spiritual expansion.

Katie introduces her “root to rise” approach — a grounded yet expansive way of working with energy that allows people to stay connected to their physical bodies while opening to deeper levels of awareness.

They also explore how sound, frequency, and angelic connection are being used in modern healing, and what many are experiencing collectively right now — including grief, awakening, and the rapid activation of intuitive abilities.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is not something outside of you — it is often how you reconnect with who you’ve always been.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How a life-altering injury became the catalyst for a spiritual awakening. 

Why “pain is a portal” and how it reconnects you to your path. 

What it truly means to be psychic — and why intuition exists in everyone. 

How Reiki works and what people experience during a session. 

The “root to rise” approach to staying grounded while expanding spiritually. 

What many are navigating right now — grief, awakening, and intuitive activation.

Christine Hernandez returns to A Psychic’s Story to go deeper into Mayan astrology — an ancient system rooted in cosmology, sacred time, and energetic alignment.

In this conversation, Nichole and Christine explore what it means to live in “real time” — not by the clock, but in harmony with the natural rhythms of energy that shape each day and each life path.

Christine shares how the Mayan calendar functions as a reflection of both the cosmos and the human experience, offering insight into your soul’s purpose, natural gifts, and life cycles. And she walks through Nichole’s personal Mayan chart, giving listeners a real-time example of how this system reveals deeper layers of identity, healing, and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

What Mayan astrology is — and why it’s more accurately described as cosmology. 

The concept of sacred time and how each day carries a unique energetic frequency.

How modern timekeeping may disconnect us from natural rhythms.

The structure of the Mayan calendar (260-day cycle, energies, and number patterns).

How your personal Mayan signature influences your path, purpose, and challenges. 

Key life cycle ages (26, 36, 42, 52) and what they represent energetically. 

A live breakdown of Nichole’s Mayan chart and what it reveals. 

Christine describes this system as a way to live in alignment with both the seen and unseen worlds — where life begins to flow with more synchronicity, clarity, and meaning.

Have you ever had a moment where something in nature stopped you in your tracks — and you just knew it meant something?

Not because you could explain it… But because you felt it. These are the kinds of moments that stop you — even briefly — and make you pay attention.

Joining Nichole Bigley for this listener episode is intuitive medium Heather Danielle. Heather was previously on A Psychic’s Story Episode 101: Signs, where she shared her perspective on recognizing and understanding signs.

In this episode, Nichole Bigley and Heather Danielle explore real-life experiences of animals, birds, and insects showing up at just the right time — often carrying a deeper sense of meaning, comfort, or connection. 

Nichole and Heather share listener stories
that reveal how these moments unfold: 

When Andreina H. asked for a sign and came face-to-face with a deer in a moment that felt anything but random.

How Nikki L. experienced two mourning doves appearing at the exact moment of her stepmother’s passing, bringing a sense of peace and connection.

When Thea L. witnessed an unexpected gathering of ladybugs during a time of personal alignment and life changes.

How Lisa Rusczyk shares a story of angelic healing connected to a beloved animal.

And finally, how Emily C. experienced a bumblebee encounter that felt like a clear and timely sign.

Each of these stories is different. But they all point to something deeper. That connection can show up in the physical world. That signs don’t always arrive in obvious ways. And that what we feel in those moments… matters.

What if nothing in your life is random — and the Universe is always communicating with you, if you’re willing to listen?

Nichole Bigley sits down with Colette Baron-Reid — oracle expert, intuitive, and teacher — to explore how intuition, symbols, and synchronicity form a language that is constantly guiding us.

This conversation breaks open what it really means to be “psychic” — not as something reserved for a few, but as a natural human ability connected to the soul. As Colette shares, intuition isn’t something you have to earn — it’s something you learn to recognize. 

Together, Nichole and Colette explore:

Why “psychic” simply means something connected to the soul — and why that matters. 

How intuition shows up in everyday life in ways we often overlook.

The role of symbols, archetypes, and patterns across cultures.

How synchronicity and timing are part of a larger intelligence. 

What it means when something feels like more than coincidence. 

How to begin trusting what you already feel. 

Colette also shares her personal journey — including growing up with intuitive abilities that felt overwhelming and confusing without context, and how she came to understand and work with them over time. 

At the heart of this episode is a powerful truth — You are not separate from the Universe. You are part of it — and it is always communicating with you. 

The question is… are you listening?
