## Resource

What happens after we die — and can people really communicate with those who have passed? In this episode, I sit down with Barbra Banner, a certified medium known as the “happy medium,” to talk about her experiences, how she got started, and what she says comes through during her sessions. We get into real stories, moments that brought comfort to grieving families, and even some unexpected and lighthearted experiences that happen during readings. This conversation focuses on connection, healing, and what people are often searching for after loss. On the Waiola Plus Side, we go deeper into the bigger questions — including what she believes is happening after death, how spirits exist, and how her experiences connect with faith and traditional beliefs.
