AI to Psychic Hotlines: Manipulation or Insight?

S5 Ep 19 of The Awake Space Podcast explores how spirituality (and other subjects) leave people open to manipulation and scams. Your host Laurie Rivers has been a professional astrologer since 1998 and brings her 3 decades of experience to the table to help you understand how not to get scammed or sucked into a delusional spiral with AI, Social Media and even psychic hotlines.


Tracy St. Croix is this week's guest, she brings her experience, wisdom and humor to share her experience on psychic hotlines. Laurie and Tracy have a humorous conversation while setting the record straight, then explain how they came up with a solution to help their clients who have questions or need a quick touch base.
