Julie Jancius | The Angel Medium: Trusting Your Intuition, Following Divine Signs, and Building a Life You Love


Episode 169 The Angel Medium: Trusting your intuition, following divine signs, and building a life you love with julie jancius on the mama making podcast


The Voice You Keep Ignoring

There is a voice most of us have.


We felt it clearly as children. We feel it now, sometimes, in the quiet before everything starts — the first few minutes of the morning before the to-do list kicks in, or in the car alone, or in the middle of the night when the house is still.


It tells us things. Small things and big things. That a client isn't a good fit. That a chapter is ending. That something good is coming even when we can't see it yet.


And most of us have spent decades learning to override it.


Julie Jancius has spent her entire life learning to listen to it instead. And she has built an extraordinary life — and an extraordinary career helping others do the same — on the other side of that choice.


Who Is Julie Jancius?

Julie is known as the Angel Medium. She is the host of the top-ranked Angels and Awakening podcast, the founder of Angel Reiki School, and the author of the upcoming Angel Signs, due out in spring 2027. She is also working on a TV show with the creator of the Long Island Medium. She is a wife, a mom, and a former corporate professional who left a trajectory toward the top of her industry because something inside her kept saying: this chapter is ending.

She didn't leave gracefully. She describes it as a breakdown before a breakthrough — the kind that happens when you keep ignoring the nudges until they become something you can no longer work around.


The nudge, she says, wasn't dramatic. It was simple: daydream about the next chapter. And she kept refusing to do it, because she thought being grateful for a good salary meant she wasn't allowed to want something different.


Life as Chapters

One of the most liberating ideas in this conversation is something Julie returns to repeatedly: life is not a single trajectory. It is a book. And a book has chapters.


You can be the most successful person in any one chapter — the best at your career, the most thriving in a relationship, the most fulfilled in a particular season — and that chapter will still close. God, she says, will always move you on. Not as punishment, but as evolution.


The resistance to that movement is human and understandable. But the cost of resisting — staying in a chapter that's already written — is often more than we realize. It shows up in the body. It shows up in the quiet voice that keeps saying not this. It shows up in the burnout and the anxiety and the physical symptoms of a life running on override.


Her 40-year-old self, she says, looks at a closing chapter and asks: what surprises are here? How is God going to wow me this time? Because it has gotten better and better and better.


What Angels Actually Are

Julie has been talking about angels since she was two years old. She grew up Catholic, then in the mega-church, and found that neither tradition fully made room for what she had always experienced: angels as a constant, omnipresent presence. Not occasional visitors. Not symbols. Living guidance, available to every person, all the time.


She finds it almost funny that people can say yes, I believe in angels and in the same breath say no, I don't believe you can actually communicate with them.


Her whole work is built on the premise that you can. That they sound like your best friend in your head — encouraging, warm, specific. That they are not there to give you yes or no answers so much as comfort, direction, and a steady current of support underneath everything you're doing.

And they are available to moms in the grocery store aisle and the school pickup line and the 9 p.m. collapse on the couch. Not just to people who meditate for an hour every morning.


The Expansion and Contraction Method

For moms who want a practical tool — one that doesn't require quiet time or a meditation practice — Julie offers the expansion and contraction method.


Put on your favorite song. Turn it up. Notice how your energy radiates outward — expansive, warm, explosive. That is yes energy. That is what alignment feels like in the body.


Now put on a song that makes you cringe. Notice the pull inward, the contraction, the way your energy almost retreats into itself. That is no energy.


That is the language your intuition speaks. It exists in your body before it becomes a thought — before you can even articulate why something feels wrong or right. Your body knows first. Always.

When you start making decisions from that signal — expansion is a yes, contraction is a no — even in small everyday choices, things begin to shift. Which client to take. Where to go on vacation. What to eat for dinner. What to say no to on the weekend. These small acts of tuning in are not indulgences. They are, she says, the practice that opens the channel to everything else.


Joy is a Type of Intuition

One of the most useful things Julie says in this conversation is simple: joy and intuition are two sides of the same coin.


If something lights you up — truly, in the body, in the expansion sense — it is for you. It is a yes. It is guidance.


And if the channel to joy has been buried under the thousand-item to-do list that lives in most mothers' minds, the first step is not meditation or ritual. It is this: start asking yourself what you want. Not what the kids want for dinner. Not where your partner wants to go this weekend. What do you want?


The act of asking that question — repeatedly, consistently, in the small things — forces you into the role of observer of your own experience. It begins to turn the channel back on. And over time, the wants get louder and clearer, and the intuition follows.

Julie has been practicing this actively for 11 years. She looks around her life now and loves what she has built — because she built it from her own joys, one small yes at a time.


The Last Six Months

Julie is honest about something in this conversation that she has not shared publicly in a while: she has been hiding.


Something painful happened. She doesn't share the specifics, and she doesn't need to. What she shares is the feeling — the deep questioning of whether she even wants to keep doing this work when being visible and open leaves you vulnerable to being hurt. The retreat into the book she's writing, because it felt safer than being out here.


And what she eventually came to: she can't hide forever. Pain is part of growth. And the alternative — staying small, staying covered, letting fear win — costs more than the wound.


She came back. She's here. And the reason she's here is the same reason she started: because every single person has a piece of the puzzle. And if she stays hidden with hers, the people who needed it won't find it.


What She Wants to Leave You With

Go do the thing.


She says it as plainly as it can be said. She has sat with people in their seventies and eighties who came in to talk to loved ones on the other side and ended up saying: I never did the thing. I was too worried about what people would think.


She is not willing to wait until she's 86 to give herself permission. She is not willing to let the people she works with wait either.


You are not here to shrink yourself into a life that was designed around everyone else's comfort. You are here to evolve — chapter by chapter, choice by choice, joy by joy.


Your angels are cheering. Your intuition is already speaking.


All you have to do is start listening.
