Welcome to the very first episode of Life After Life, the podcast with spiritual medium Deborah "Gabby" Baker of Spirit Lifted by Gabby. In this introductory episode, Gabby opens up about who she is, how her gifts first emerged after the birth of her daughter 22 years ago, and the journey that led her from scepticism and fear to becoming a Reiki master and practising medium.

Gabby tackles the questions she gets asked most on social media — what's the difference between a psychic, a medium, and a clairvoyant? Can a medium accidentally channel negative entities? Does she ever approach strangers in the supermarket? She also shares the incredible story of a client whose life may have been saved after Gabby spotted something in her aura, and discusses the everyday signs your loved ones in spirit may be sending you — from feathers and robins, to a familiar smell, to a coin found on the floor.

This episode is a warm, candid introduction to everything the podcast will explore: grief healing, past life regression, house clearances, hauntings, and the tools and tips to keep your energy and home protected. If you've ever wondered whether there's something more after this life, this is your starting point.
