EPISODE OVERVIEW In this powerful first episode, host Marlouke sits down with psychic medium Romee Burgmans, who uniquely combines her master's degree in neuropsychology with her mediumship abilities. Romee shares her incredible journey from a terrified teenager seeing spirits to embracing her gift as her life's purpose, offering profound insights about intuition, fear, and what it truly means to live authentically. KEY QUOTES "The secret to life is that you were supposed to do that thing you're afraid of doing." "Struggling means your life is shouting 'Hey, this might not be your path.'" "You're always guided. There's nobody on this planet that doesn't have guidance from the other side." "What's worse than disappointment? Missing your whole life and not doing the things you were meant to do." "The solution lies within the problem - look at what you're struggling with and find the key within it." PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS Trust Your Body's Wisdom: That knot in your stomach or tension in your shoulders is information - give it 15 minutes of uninterrupted attention to understand what it's telling you. Reframe Your Struggles: If everything feels hard and you're constantly fighting upstream, consider that you might not be on your authentic path. Face Your Fears: The things that scare you most (not logical dangers, but emotional fears) often point toward your greatest growth opportunities. Practice Self-Compassion: Perfectionism is fear in disguise - show yourself mercy and remember that small daily things matter less than love and connection.
