Intuitive Awakening Journey | Elizabeth Parojcic
In this podcast episode, renowned psychic and intuitive healer Elizabeth shares her incredible story and gifts. She recalls having vivid premonitions from a young age that later came true, though her abilities were dismissed by her mother.

She launched a successful intuitive therapy practice after Sonia endorsed her to an audience of 5,000 people. Elizabeth explains how she can feel and read people's energies to provide guidance and healing. She notes that intuition comes from the solar plexus rather than emotion. Elizabeth talks about helping clients overcome depression by changing their vibration, without medication. She stresses that we all have intuition, but are not taught to use it. The highlight of the podcast is Elizabeth recalling a powerful vision where spiritual beings tell her she has important intuitive work to do. Her shocked son senses her experience from another room. Since then, Elizabeth has dedicated herself to developing her own and others' psychic abilities to create positive change in the world.
