From Mystical to Practical: Clair Senses & Soul Parenting
Episode 97
Featuring Bette Freedson
If you’ve ever wondered whether intuition is real, or just wishful thinking, this conversation will blow the doors off that debate. Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with Bette Freedson, LCSW, intuitive guide and author of Soul Mother’s Wisdom, Other Realms, Other Ways, and Passageways, to map the meeting point between science and soul.
We unpack the clair senses (clear seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling, knowing), how to tell intuition from anxiety or projection, and Bette’s ACE Method (Accept, Cultivate, Explore/Experiment) to build reliable inner guidance. We go deep on grief (why intuition sometimes expands during loss), soul-wise parenting (no-blame, no-shame), and how clinicians can ethically integrate intuitive insight with data, logic, and hypnosis.
This is your permission slip to treat intuition like a serious form of intelligence, one that can change how you decide, parent, and live.
