Episode Notes

HeadRoom, hosted by Dr. Rod Berger.

Barbra Banner spent 14 years on a women's crisis hotline and a decade or more in a hospital ER. Then she joined the Los Angeles Crisis Response Team, the people police call to a scene when a family arrives and someone they love is already gone. She was good at it. If she needed to cry, she waited for the drive home.

This is HeadRoom, where we uncover the why behind the what and who impacting our lives. Dr. Rod Berger sits down with Barbra Banner, a psychic and evidential medium who did not find the work until the pandemic. She had been "on ice" her whole life, she says, until her house turned into a paranormal storm: lights flashing, fans switching on, orbs in a video she had just recorded. Within a day of her first class with Suzanne Giesemann, she was meditating on a dark closet floor when her late father peeked over a wall and said, "She's going to do it."

From there the conversation moves through a 104-year-old mother who had kept the family gift to herself and a scooped-out bagel that turned a skeptic. Then it happens on the recording: a name Rod tosses off as a joke at a deli counter turns out to belong to Barbra's mother. Rod, whose doctorate is in clinical psychology, presses where a skeptic would press, on ego and on the readings that miss. Barbra's answers keep landing in the same place. Trust what comes through, and let go of the need to know. "If you have the answer, it's over."

What would you hear if you stopped asking for the answer?
