Have you ever received a message that felt like it came from beyond — something too clear, too wise to be just coincidence?
What if the voices we silence or label as imagination are actually spirit teachers trying to guide us?
Can a message from spirit truly transform your life and mental well-being?
In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michael McAdams, a lifelong seeker of truth and the author of An Angel Told Me So. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of spirit communication and how it intersects with personal healing, mental health, and spiritual development.
Michael shares his personal story growing up in a religious family, his early mystical experiences, and the extraordinary collaboration he had with his mother, who received profound written messages from spirit teachers over the course of 22 years.
Dr. Adriana and Michael challenge common mental health paradigms by inviting a deeper inquiry into what is often dismissed as psychosis or delusion — and instead honoring the possibility that spiritual communication is a natural and healing part of our human experience.
In this episode:
• The difference between spirit guides, angels, and disembodied beings
• How to discern between imagination and divine messages
• Why affirmations and intention are key to spiritual protection
• What is the difference between spiritual experiences and psychosis
• The importance of belief systems and free will in shaping our spiritual reality
• Practical tools to begin or strengthen your connection to spiritual guidance
