Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe

Laura Lynne Jackson is a psychic medium and author. She grew up in Commack, New York, and began to sense her spiritual gifts at a young age. As she explains in Signs, these gifts (including clairvoyance and clairsentience) initially unnerved her and she did her best to ignore them. Instead of channeling her abilities as a young adult, she pursued degrees in law and English. After she requested that her abilities be tested by the Forever Family Foundation (an organization devoted to facilitating connections between the seen and unseen worlds), she became a psychic medium full time. She has since performed readings “for hundreds of people and connected them with loved ones who have crossed to the other Side” (“Home.” Laura Lynn Jackson). She believes it is her responsibility as a medium to help others form bonds with people “both here and in the afterlife.”

Jackson is also a renowned speaker, influencer, and self-help guide. She has appeared on numerous popular podcasts and forums, including Molly Sims’s podcast Lipstick on the Rim, Chelsea Handler’s podcast Dear Chelsea, The Dr. Oz Show, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Netflix show The Goop Lab, and Paltrow’s podcast by the same name.
