She walked into a spiritualist church at 18—and something deep in her body said, finally.
It wasn't a thunderbolt. It wasn't a sign. It was a felt-sense of home.
This week, I sit down with Veronica Jenkins—35-year spiritualist, evidential medium, spirit artist, educator, and author—to talk about what happens when Spirit stops being an idea and starts being your compass.
We go deep on the philosophy of spiritualism, the unseen labor of serving a church community, and how animal totems can become sacred mirrors for who you are and who you're becoming.
She's not here to teach quick tricks. She's here to tell the truth: Mediumship isn't about collecting certificates. It's about becoming someone Spirit can trust.
If you've been craving real-talk about spiritual awakening, animal spirit guides, and what it really means to walk the path of mediumship, this one's for you.

"Just because someone else has a different way of living their life doesn't mean it's wrong. It's right for them. This human journey is yours. Nobody else's." - Veronica Jenkins
