Today we’d like to introduce you to Lauren Grasso.
Lauren, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I’m a California native and mom of two incredibly intuitive children. I knew I’ve always had a deep connection to something, but I never knew what that something was.
Growing up I always heard voices in the middle of the night, sensed when energies shifted in a room, felt the emotions of others as if they were my own, and had premonitions of events that would eventually happen… but always brushed them off as coincidences.
Through years of struggle with debilitating social anxiety, I tried everything under the sun to understand what was happening. I eventually gave up on Western medicine and learned to just live with my symptoms.
Even though I dabbled in spiritual development in my early 20s, it wasn’t until after the birth of my son, Oliver, that my healing journey really started.
All those coincidences I brushed off when I was younger started appearing again in my life, but in a much bigger way! I was starting to really feel the physical and emotional pain of others, my visions started becoming clearer, and I knew something was definitely different this time around.
I experienced a deeper spiritual awakening during my second pregnancy with my daughter, Esmé.
One day, in the early months of my pregnancy, I suffered from a panic attack. I was scared, frantic, and felt unsafe in my body. I never experienced this before. At 2:30am PST, it left and with it felt like a huge release. It wasn’t until later in the evening I received the news that a friend had been murdered.
What I know now is that I experienced his panic, turmoil, and fear in my body, simultaneously. The release I felt was his death at 4:30CT. It was over.
After that, my nervous system went into hyper-overdrive and I was triggered on every level from my head to my toes. I knew deep down what I was experiencing was transformational.
I learned it was a spiritual awakening.
It was uncomfortable, isolating and emotionally painful.
Throughout my pregnancy, I continued to experience deep physical issues including debilitating fear, paralysis when it came to speaking, panic attacks, anxiety, gestational diabetes, insomnia and anemia. But it didn’t feel like it was mine. I couldn’t connect to it.
Within minutes of my daughter’s birth all my “symptoms” disappeared and soon thereafter I realized this was a connection to Spirit and made the decision to dive deep into developing my mediumship and intuition.
She came into my world to show me what needed to be discovered and healed within myself and the generational dynamics of my family.
I felt at home again. This was my calling, to help myself so I could in turn serve in the highest power by helping others, especially my own two children, who are incredibly gifted intuitive.
I’ve since harnessed my gifts as a psychic medium and became a Holy Fire Reiki Master.
In addition to helping people connect to their loved ones in spirit, I guide individuals on their healing journey and work with families looking to understand their child(ren) are on a soul level, so they can best support them.
When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually at home bantering with my partner, avoiding laundry, or cuddling with my two kids. But I’m always finding new ways to laugh and bring joy and healing into our home.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not. Ha! My entire life was flipped upside down. Everything I knew was changing– my friends, my career, my family dynamics, my body, it was bonkers. As any lightworker knows, it’s a process. Spiritual awakenings are beautiful but only when you’re viewing from the lens of reflection, not in the trenches. And let me tell you…they don’t happen overnight. These shifts are long and feel as though your entire world, and body, is falling apart. But then, you suddenly have this new awareness of (in my case) clairvoyance you’re trying to wrap your head around– which also kind of feels like you’re going crazy. You’re developing a new skill and identity for yourself.
Once the shift happened I needed to integrate this new way of living. It was challenging. I felt really exposed and nervous to share the “new” me with everyone. I had to close myself off for a while. Luckily social distancing precautions were still in place and I was pregnant so no one expected much from me anyway. Announcing to the world you’re a Psychic Medium is definitely scary. Like anything, the last thing you want is to be judged, especially when you’re still trying to understand yourself. Surrounding myself with support was crucial. Infinite gratitude to my partner JJ, family and friends who were rooting me on.
If you’re experiencing a shift in your life, the most important thing to remember is to stay open. Open to the change, open to learning, open to the new path. Now that I’m on the other side and guiding others on their journey, I’ve found that people are so resistant to the change it’s actually what continues to keep them stuck in their unhealthy cycles. There are energetic dynamics and soul lessons playing out in our lives and it’s important to understand why they’re happening for us. The insight and intuitive can offer is crucial to not only defining what’s happening but energetically healing it as well.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I holistically approach healing and spiritual wellness by helping people connect with loved ones in spirit, offering the them the support and guidance they need to discover what’s holding them back in life. By identifying the problem through Spirit, we can transform trauma and uncertainty into a clear path forward. My work is a soul-centered, solution-oriented service that is grounded in practical methods. I specialize in healing inner child work and connecting people to their higher self so that they are ready to receive life’s abundance. What’s the thing that sets me apart from other mediums and psychics? It’s my ability to look at a photo of someone and provide deep insights into their soul’s journey and what’s hindering them from moving forward in life.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
My empathy, without a doubt. Being an empath allows me to connect deeply with anyone and provides a safe place where, together, we open their eyes, soul, and heart to radically heal and shift the depths of their pain.
