Sam and Christine pick up where they left off on spirit guides, and this one goes deep. Sam opens with a goosebumps story about her cousin’s visit to a medium who, without any prompting, asked about an aunt whose name starts with M, then delivered a message of love from Sam’s late Aunt Mary Lou. From there, they walk through the seven archangels and what each one represents, then share stories of angels showing up in disguise during Sam’s mom’s recent hospital stay and Christine’s health anxiety journey. The throughline: angels are among us in whatever form you understand them, and they show up the moment we’re willing to receive them. Lift the veil and the help, the signs, and the peace start finding you.
Highlights from this episode
Once you lift that veil and accept that you're connected to something larger, we're all energy and we're all connected. You can allow other things in your life and have peace.
If you're not open to it, then how are you going to receive it? If you have spirit guides trying to send messages, you have to be open to see it and know that it's for you.
Love and light and guidance is available to you, and you do not need to be sitting in a church to access it.
All it takes is one person sent by whoever you think has sent them to step in and say, hey, we got your back. You're okay. You don't need to worry.

Samantha Bauer(00:01.747)
Welcome back everyone to Sisters-in-Law of Attraction. I'm Sam.
Christine Goforth(00:05.73)
And I'm Christine.
Samantha Bauer(00:07.335)
And we're so, so thrilled you're back with us. Christine, last time we really got into this, you know, spirit guides and trying to open yourself up. We had that fun little conversation about, you know, how younger people are a little bit more open to the spiritual world. And we talked about Emma Lemma, your imaginary friend. We got some fun feedback on that one. So thanks for being such a great sport about that.
Christine Goforth(00:17.143)
Yes.
Christine Goforth(00:23.35)
Yep. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(00:31.191)
I know.
Christine Goforth(00:31.191)
You know, I have it on good authority that I'm not the only one who had an imaginary friend growing up, so I think I'm in good company. Yeah, no, not at all.
Samantha Bauer(00:40.951)
Right? No shame. No, absolutely no shame, right? So we got kind of carried away last time. So we didn't actually walk through, we started talking about spirit guides. Gabby Berenstein, you know, in her super attractor, she talked about there's different types of spirit guides. You have the archangels or seven of them, you know.
Christine Goforth(00:56.812)
Mm-hmm.
Samantha Bauer(01:06.167)
those loved ones that have gone before you, you know, can be a spirit guide. And she really, she went out on a limb in Super Attractor to start talking about the metaphysical world because, you know, that there's some natural resistance to that. But she says, you know, just lean into connecting with your spirit, connecting with love and just being open to
Christine Goforth(01:10.392)
Mm-hmm.
Christine Goforth(01:33.603)
Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(01:34.453)
that whole concept that there's, you know, leaning into light and.
Christine Goforth(01:39.8)
Well, if you're not open to it, then how are you going to receive it? If you have spirit guides who are trying to send messages or nudge or answer a prayer in a way, if you're talking religiously, it's just, if you're not open to it, how do you see it? How do you know that it's for you? How do you know?
Samantha Bauer(01:44.181)
Right. Exactly.
Samantha Bauer(01:54.347)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(02:01.375)
Exactly.
Samantha Bauer(02:05.311)
Right, right. And that's exactly right. What she said, just be open to it. Lift that veil, right? Just lift that veil and kind of lean into it. So, but before we get into the seven archangels, I wanted to tell a story and you know, it's kind of woo woo. But my cousin recently, we love woo woo. So my cousin recently went to a medium. She lost her mother several years ago, my aunt, my mom's sister.
Christine Goforth(02:21.175)
We love woo woo.
Samantha Bauer(02:30.679)
And I think she was just really kind of wanting to reconnect or whatever. And so she had an interesting experience. Obviously, I didn't know this woman, but she said that the woman asked her, do you have an aunt that her name starts with M? And then, of course, my cousin says, well, yeah, that's my Aunt Mary Lou, which is my mother. And she says, OK. She says, your mom wants to tell her hi.
Christine Goforth(02:36.172)
Yeah.
Christine Goforth(02:56.589)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(03:01.783)
And so anyhow, when my cousin reached out to my mom, she goes, I just wanted to let you know that my mom wanted to say hi. And of course I might start crying. And it was such a beautiful moment for my mom to have that sort of connection. Yes, yeah, yeah. And it kind of just gives you, again, there's plenty of folks out there that would be like, oh my gosh, maybe she knew, tracked her on Facebook and knew whatever, whatever.
Christine Goforth(03:15.342)
my god. With her sister. my gosh, Sam.
Samantha Bauer(03:30.315)
But the other thing that she shared with her is Darcy's...
Christine Goforth(03:35.36)
Okay, okay, so say that's what happened. For one moment, you gave two people hope, more than two, because it wasn't just your cousin and it wasn't just your mom, it was you and probably others and me hearing this story and others who are listening, to give hope that once we pass, it's not just forever gone. And so, so okay.
Samantha Bauer(03:39.285)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(03:45.002)
Yep.
Samantha Bauer(03:50.297)
Exactly, exactly. Right.
Samantha Bauer(04:01.579)
Right, exactly.
Samantha Bauer(04:01.579)
Yeah.
Christine Goforth(04:05.357)
If it is made up, say it is. I don't think it is. I don't think she tracked her on Facebook. But okay, so what's so wrong with that? You give her a peace of mind?
Samantha Bauer(04:09.718)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(04:14.339)
Exactly. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And it was really heartwarming because my cousin shared also that the median she said, okay, you have a set of grandparents and my cousin does on as her father's parents that died a long time ago, well before my cousin had her three children. And she says they want to tell you to please tell your children about us.
Christine Goforth(04:33.292)
in.
Samantha Bauer(04:43.863)
Like they don't know us, please tell your children about us. So that kind of came through. And then the other one, and we'll get moving on, but the other piece that just really just kind of knocked me off my chair is my cousin's, one of her daughters is very outdoorsy and very sporty and she loves to fish. And she goes fishing a lot in the medium, which is kind of like a random thing. The medium says, when your daughter,
Christine Goforth(05:07.702)
Okay.
Christine Goforth(05:07.702)
very.
Samantha Bauer(05:13.047)
is out there fishing, your grandfather and uncle are right there with her. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, I mean, that's such a remote, again, you know, naysayer could say like, oh my gosh, you know, she probably posted, you know, your daughter fishing, which who knows, maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But, you know, it was, like you said, brought my cousin such joy and understanding that, yes, that.
Christine Goforth(05:17.377)
No. No.
Christine Goforth(05:37.823)
and peace.
Samantha Bauer(05:40.245)
we are still very connected and it goes back to there's different spirit guides. Like sometimes you can just lean into those your loved ones that have gone before you and say, you know what? I'm gonna need a little guidance. I'm gonna need little help. So just, you know, just calling that, yeah, exactly, exactly.
Christine Goforth(05:49.239)
Mm-hmm.
Christine Goforth(05:56.588)
Yep. Send me some signs. Send a sign or two. Yeah. Well, and we are all energy. So to think that we die and then the energy just dissipates, don't, it's just so interesting to think about because I picture in my mind's eye, you know, the daughter out fishing and it's like, okay, where are
Samantha Bauer(06:14.389)
Yeah. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(06:25.343)
In what form are the dad and uncle there? I fully believe they're there. Are they like in the breeze? they in the... I don't know. love this though.
Samantha Bauer(06:28.725)
Right, yeah. Right.
Samantha Bauer(06:35.155)
Yes, right. physically, right? And so, you know, there's so much that we can't explain, that metaphysical world, because we don't have the words. But once, to Gabby Verenstein's point, once you lift that veil and you accept that there's something larger than you, that you're connected to something larger, and exactly what you said, Christine, we're all energy and we're all connected.
Christine Goforth(06:42.409)
Mm-hmm.
Christine Goforth(06:42.409)
Nope.
Christine Goforth(07:02.881)
Mm-hmm. Yep.
Samantha Bauer(07:04.853)
And once we realize that, right, I mean, you can allow other things in your life and have peace. Because it's not just you. You're not alone in this world. Yep. So anyhow, just really just wanted to share that story. I was in Dallas visiting my son. was mom's weekend for his fraternity. And my mom called me.
Christine Goforth(07:13.931)
Yeah. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(07:13.931)
Right? No, never. Never.
Christine Goforth(07:23.799)
Love that.
Samantha Bauer(07:33.515)
and this is just really funny. it happened to also be my birthday. so originally I was going to go shopping for a mother of the bride dress because shopping is fabulous in Dallas. But Max goes, mom, we're doing buzz bikes. I'm like, what? So the buzz bikes, it's like when you pedal, you know, and you drink and then you go and then you bar hop. Well, it...
Christine Goforth(07:43.83)
Yes.
Christine Goforth(07:54.322)
yeah. Drinking and peddling.
Samantha Bauer(08:00.119)
This was my actual birthday. was pouring down rain and it was so cold. And I remember telling your brother, my husband, Paul, who was our driver for the weekend, I go, this is not my vision for my birthday. It's pouring down rain. we, right? And so I was like, I was dreading it. I'm like, oh my God, I do not want to do this. Number one, it's 10th third in the morning on a random Saturday pouring down rain and we had to put ponchos on. And anyhow, ended up having,
Christine Goforth(08:15.02)
to be selfish on my birthday.
Christine Goforth(08:29.696)
Ben shopping for the mother of the bride dress.
Samantha Bauer(08:31.575)
Right? And not freezing. And clearly it was not dressed for the occasion because, mean, heaven forbid, my son would actually like give me a heads up before I packed and got there. So anyhow, but it turned out to be a riot and had so much fun. There you go. There you go. Just don't be resistant. know, and I was, you know, I was really resistant and I worked through that resistance and leaned into the new experience and it was, yeah, it was, was a lot of fun.
Christine Goforth(08:39.243)
with Cori-
Christine Goforth(08:46.506)
Because you leaned in, I bet. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(08:46.506)
Mm-hmm.
Samantha Bauer(09:00.727)
Okay, so before we run out of time, we better just jump right into this. So, okay, so the seven archangels. So we have Archangel Michael. And Michael literally means he who is as God. He's the protector and aligned with courage, strength, and justice. And, you know, he's sort of like that, sort of your go-to, your go-to archangel. He's like the dude.
Christine Goforth(09:02.154)
I love it.
Christine Goforth(09:02.154)
Yes.
Christine Goforth(09:10.72)
Yes.
Christine Goforth(09:25.888)
Right, okay.
Christine Goforth(09:25.888)
He's like the basic one. He covers it all.
Samantha Bauer(09:30.793)
Yes, covers it all. And he's kind of like, you know, the easy sort of go to, you know, if you need strength, you know, and, and, and protection. And so, so again, he is as God. So again, he's not God, but he is as God. And so when we're praying to the Lord, or, you know, whatever we're doing, we can also access power and guidance through Archangel Michael.
Christine Goforth(09:36.204)
Okay.
Christine Goforth(09:59.201)
The arc angle. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(10:00.373)
Yeah, yeah. And then Archangel Raphael means God heals. So Raphael is responsible for healing physical and mental ailments. And so, you know, when my mom was in the hospital several weeks ago and there was lots of challenges, health challenges, I really reached out to Archangel Raphael for some help and guidance. And, you know, it gave my mom a lot of peace too.
Christine Goforth(10:18.785)
Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(10:30.391)
Once she realized that she's actually not in control, which is really hard for, you know my mom well, and I'm a lot like her. Control is our middle name. But again, as we've talked about, control is really fear. And so obviously she was fearful, but once she succumbed and she gave it up to the Lord or to, you know,
Christine Goforth(10:35.808)
Right. yep. yeah.
Christine Goforth(10:58.038)
Mm-hmm.
Samantha Bauer(10:59.893)
Raphael she felt peace and and realized knew that she someone's it someone's got your back
Christine Goforth(11:07.05)
was just gonna say that's exactly what it is is it's not feeling alone in your fight. And if you can reach out and again, call it an archangel, call it a spirit guide, call it whatever you want, right? But it's, it's reaching out to something bigger than you. You don't have to see it, you just have to have faith that it's there and and
Samantha Bauer(11:13.845)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(11:31.627)
Yeah. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(11:35.464)
So what if you can't see it? If calling on that specific archangel or specific spirit guide, if that's what brings you peace, then why not? Right? I mean...
Samantha Bauer(11:37.345)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(11:48.637)
Exactly, exactly. And she had some incredible experiences in the hospital. Number one, people who work in hospitals are just incredible people. There was a young woman that was part of the housekeeping team. So she had come in in the morning to clean my mom's bathroom. And my mom was really struggling and she was crying. And she was trying to figure out some music on her phone. And the young woman heard my mom.
Christine Goforth(11:58.666)
yeah.
Samantha Bauer(12:17.899)
And she came out, she says, well, what kind of music do you like? And my mom goes, well, I'm just looking for some gospel or whatever. And the young woman says, I love gospel. And she was part of a Christian ministry and has been traveling. Darling, young, I, and so anyhow, I got there, my mom was telling me the story about this young woman. And she said, she, my mom said she's, she's going to come back after her shift is over. And I'm there. And sure enough, this young woman comes in and she is a doll.
Samantha Bauer(12:17.899)
And she came back after her shift and went to my mom's phone and downloaded on Spotify because my darling mother could not figure it out her favorite gospel channel. Yeah, yeah. Her favorite gospel channel. so we had this beautiful exchange and she and I was asking her questions about, what, you know, are you in school? And yes, you know, she wants to be a nurse. And she was telling me about her ministry trips.
Christine Goforth(12:47.615)
Ugh.
Christine Goforth(12:56.556)
No. In the hospital? Come on. No. Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(13:16.351)
And then, you know, we were talking about, you know, my daughter getting married and she's like, I want to see pictures of the dress. I said she just got her dress. And so I showed her and she was so genuine and she's just like, my gosh, she's so beautiful. And what a wonderful thing that, you know, she's found love and her forever. I mean, she was just incredible. And so when she got to leave, I know. Yeah. So she, I mean, so genuine gave me a hug and hugged my mom and she says,
Christine Goforth(13:16.62)
Uh-huh.
Christine Goforth(13:35.916)
You adopted her, didn't you?
Samantha Bauer(13:46.089)
In Christ, I love you. You are, I'm like, I'm gonna start crying.
Christine Goforth(13:50.144)
You can share my sister. You're my, we are all connected.
Samantha Bauer(13:52.191)
Yep, connected. And once you, again, as you've said, once you open yourself up, here it comes. It will show up. It will show up in, and you know, I don't know, was that Archangel Raphael sending one of his angels on earth to help?
Christine Goforth(14:02.163)
Mm-hmm. Right. yeah.
Christine Goforth(14:12.564)
Right?
Samantha Bauer(14:16.147)
And I mean, can go on and on. was several faith leaders that came to my mom's bed because she indicated that she has strong faith and she's Catholic. And there was a Christian faith leader that came in and he said, I understand that you're Catholic, but can I pray with you? And she says, yeah, come on in. I'll take any prayers. So I think in those moments, again, if you're open to it,
Christine Goforth(14:23.157)
Yeah.
Christine Goforth(14:26.602)
Right. yeah.
Christine Goforth(14:35.646)
Of course!
Christine Goforth(14:45.63)
Mm-hmm.
Samantha Bauer(14:45.931)
That love and light and guidance is available to you and you do not need to be sitting in a church to access it.
Christine Goforth(14:52.147)
right. I couldn't agree more. I truly couldn't agree more. I've had a couple, not nearly what your mom experienced, but a couple things when I have gone into a doctor's offices, when my health anxiety was at its peak and I've had two different experiences with two different women who
Samantha Bauer(15:13.59)
Yes.
Christine Goforth(15:19.091)
One came in and she could just, the second she saw me, she said, can I pray for you? And I was like, yeah. I said, I'm terrified. It was, I'm, I'm certain it was something with the thyroid nodule and they had, you know, they usually call with the results, but they had asked me to come in this time. so my story I told myself in my head was not what it turned out to be, thankfully. But in that,
Samantha Bauer(15:26.423)
you
Samantha Bauer(15:34.966)
Yep.
Samantha Bauer(15:46.305)
Hahaha
Christine Goforth(15:48.874)
This woman comes in and and she's talking to me and direct eye contact like she could see through my soul. It was the most beautiful interaction of you need to just let go. It's going to be OK. You're in good hands. We've got you. You know the Lord's looking out for you. All of it and just held my hands and.
Samantha Bauer(15:58.093)
Yep.
Samantha Bauer(16:09.28)
Amazing.
Christine Goforth(16:16.091)
just the most beautiful, beautiful interaction, right? Where it's, and another one was a different time, same, same thing, but I was waiting on results and I had called several times. It had been like two months and now looking back, I'm like, okay, two months, I'm sure like they would have called, but in the moment you're so scared, right? And I called back and
Samantha Bauer(16:20.076)
Love it.
Samantha Bauer(16:32.281)
boy. Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(16:37.035)
Yeah.
Christine Goforth(16:43.505)
a woman who had no business telling me anything said, I am going to do something that I'm not supposed to do. But like I am, I'm not a doctor. I am going to look at this and I'm going to tell you you're okay. It's you're okay. And the doctor will call you and but I just want you to know that that it's okay. And it was that peace of mind that I needed and I
Samantha Bauer(16:53.335)
Yeah, sure.
Samantha Bauer(17:08.001)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christine Goforth(17:13.227)
told her literally, are an angel because I have been in knots for the last two months. It was summer. I didn't get to enjoy a single thing with my kids. It just was that knot in your stomach. And all it takes is one person sent by whoever you think has sent them to step in and say, hey, we got your back. You're okay. You don't need to worry.
Samantha Bauer(17:26.709)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(17:26.709)
Yep.
Samantha Bauer(17:32.823)
Mm-hmm.
Samantha Bauer(17:32.823)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(17:42.007)
Right, right, exactly. Yeah, no, I, it's, and again, it requires you to be open and when, because there's angels among us, they're all around us, and again, we are all connected, and as long as you bring that energy and that openness, it will arrive, you know? And so, and I think, you know, I get kind of fired up about this, and I, you know, we've talked a little bit about,
Christine Goforth(17:50.507)
Mm-hmm.
Christine Goforth(17:56.52)
always.
Christine Goforth(18:02.73)
Mm-hmm.
Christine Goforth(18:02.73)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(18:12.017)
know, spirituality and, you know, religion. And, you know, we are having in the Catholic Church a little bit of a renaissance. I mean, there's people joining the Catholic Church left and right and the younger generation...
Christine Goforth(18:23.947)
I just heard it's very hot with the younger generations. I just heard something about this. Yes.
Samantha Bauer(18:29.597)
Yeah. Yes. I mean, what a wonderful thing. And it's not just, you know, to grow the Catholic Church, you know, it's whatever. as long as, you know, folks, younger folks see hope and the power of faith and the power of being connected to a spiritual community, whatever that looks like, it's really great to see. you know, and yeah, go ahead.
Christine Goforth(18:56.011)
Absolutely.
Christine Goforth(18:56.011)
I just real quick, my youngest daughter had asked me a religious question yesterday. And so we just got to talking. And again, I know I've said it, but it's like religion when you take all of the the God parts out of it, right? You are you're learning to be a good person. You're learning how to walk.
Christine Goforth(18:56.011)
in life through society with respect for other people, giving back to your community, serving others, just being a good human, right? In that also you build community, you get to know people, you build connections, you build relationships, right? Okay, so that's also what spirituality brings, right? Like you can...
Samantha Bauer(19:52.585)
Exactly.
Christine Goforth(19:54.795)
having faith in something that you can't see. And again, I don't care what you call it because how many different gods, how many different religions believe in different gods, in different ways that things have happened. We don't know what is, we don't know, right? Everyone has their beliefs, but we don't know. And so everybody just be a good human, be a good person.
Samantha Bauer(20:05.941)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(20:11.637)
Right. Right. Sure. Right.
Samantha Bauer(20:18.825)
Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Christine Goforth(20:21.222)
Do unto others how you want done unto you. That's it. Right? And and
Samantha Bauer(20:24.181)
Yes, that's it. That's exactly it. Yeah. Yeah. And again, know, don't close the door on your spirituality because you don't have formalized religion. Or don't close the door on, and on the flip side, don't close the door on formalized religion, you know, because you have opinions about this, that, or the other. But, you know,
Christine Goforth(20:40.636)
No, right.
Christine Goforth(20:45.236)
Right.
Samantha Bauer(20:53.415)
Yeah, it's so fun to talk about this stuff because, I mean, here we are, Christine. We've already hit it. We never even got through all seven archangels, but I'm just gonna run before we... No, I mean, clearly we have a lot to say about this. So let's just run through really quick the others. we have archangel Gabriel, and that means God is my strength. So Gabriel is known as the angel of communication, plays the role of God's messenger.
Christine Goforth(21:04.852)
Sorry, I know.
Christine Goforth(21:19.195)
Yeah!
Samantha Bauer(21:19.815)
And then we have Archangel Jophiel, means beauty of God. So Jophiel is responsible for guiding you to see beauty in all things by redirecting your perception back to love. So love that. So this is the Archangel, kind of the creatives, the artists, the writers, trying to find the beauty. And then we have Archangel Ariel, and she, I'm just gonna give it a she, okay.
Christine Goforth(21:37.012)
Okay.
Samantha Bauer(21:47.863)
whatever, lion of God. I'm just gonna go with that. Ariel is responsible for protecting the earth and its resources and inhabitants also of animals and nature. And then we have Archangel Azrael, means whom God helps. So Azrael is responsible for helping the diseased transition into the spirit realm. So in that transition time. And then Archangel Shemuel.
Christine Goforth(21:48.212)
Sure, yeah.
Christine Goforth(22:10.122)
Okay. Yeah.
Samantha Bauer(22:15.457)
He who sees God, Chamuel, is responsible for bringing peace to the world and capable of restoring order even in the most chaotic situations. And there's clearly variations of this, you know, but these are just kind of, kind of, you know, the, I guess you would say the basic, you know, seven. anyhow, I just, I felt the need to run through that just very, very quickly so we can wrap it up.
Christine Goforth(22:28.98)
Right.
Christine Goforth(22:38.204)
