Meet Nadine Gustin

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Nadine Gustin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Nadine, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I stumbled upon my purpose while trying to navigate the death of my husband. His passing was extremely unexpected, he was a young and healthy guy who had a lot of life ahead of him and I never wanted to consider that anything would happen to him. The first few months were dark and foggy. I just remember going through the motions. I wasn’t really present; it felt like I was just some participant in my daily life, but I wasn’t truly living it.
At one point, I scheduled a reading with a medium, just to see if she could connect with him and give me any messages. That reading had such a profound impact on me. It’s almost as if everything changed after. The medium gave me such comfort and hope for a future that I could not see before, and she made me aware of abilities that I never knew I had and never knew I could develop. That reading left me with a newfound hope and where there once was rain and dark clouds, all of a sudden I saw the rain weaken and a rainbow forming. That was all I needed. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that how this woman on the other end of the phone made me feel, was exactly what I wanted to do in the future. That was my higher purpose. Helping people find themselves again, after losing their true self due to trauma, loss and grief. Helping others heal their wounds, find their confidence again, balance their energy bodies so they can move forward, revitalize their spirit. It brings me profound joy to be able to be a little shining light in someone else’s life and to help them move out of the darkness into a lighter space.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

My main objective in my work lies in helping people rediscover themselves after experiencing trauma, loss, or grief. I focus on guiding individuals through the process of healing their wounds, regaining their confidence, and finding balance in their lives. My goal is to support them in revitalizing their sense of self and moving forward with renewed energy and purpose.
My work is more than just a job—it’s my passion. Experiencing this work firsthand transformed my life in ways I never imagined, setting me on a path I couldn’t have envisioned before. It profoundly changed me and turned my life around. Being able to help others in this way energizes me and brings me great joy.
As an intuitive reader, I connect deeply with my clients to understand their experiences and emotions. I provide insights from a different perspective, helping them navigate their challenges, make important decisions, and offer guidance on various situations. My aim is to support their journey towards healing and personal growth.
As a medium, my primary goal is to help clients connect with their loved ones who have passed away. I strive to provide evidence that these individuals are still present and engaged in their lives. Through our sessions, deceased loved ones often share cherished memories or deliver messages that are meaningful and comforting to my clients.
In my healing sessions, I provide intuitive guidance before asking my clients to relax on a vibro-acoustic sound bed that surrounds them with soothing sounds and healing vibrations. I will then lead my clients through a guided meditation, use energy techniques to balance their energy centers, and help release any traumas or repressed emotions.
As a life coach, I use my expertise to support clients through various challenges, including spiritual awakenings, uncertainties about their paths, and past or present challenging experiences. My goal is to help them gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and move forward confidently in their lives.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Compassion is essential for anyone working in my line of business. When people seek spiritual guidance or healing, they are often in vulnerable states, searching for answers, comfort, or clarity. Approaching their concerns with empathy and understanding allows me to create a safe and supportive environment where they feel heard and valued. Compassion also deepens my connection with the energies around me, helping me to interpret messages with greater care and sensitivity. It ensures that my guidance is not only insightful but also delivered with kindness and respect. Ultimately, compassion enables me to foster genuine healing and meaningful connections, offering more than just insights—offering comfort, hope, and reassurance.

Self-awareness is also a vital trait for anyone working in my profession. Understanding my own emotions, thoughts, and energy is key to providing clear and accurate guidance to others. Without self-awareness, it’s easy to confuse my own feelings with the messages or energies I am receiving, which can cloud my intuition. By staying grounded in my own identity and recognizing my personal triggers and biases, I can better distinguish between my own experiences and the spiritual insights meant for my clients. Self-awareness also allows me to set healthy boundaries, ensuring that I protect my energy while helping others. Ultimately, the more in tune I am with myself, the more effectively I can serve those seeking my guidance.

Personal development is a cornerstone in my career. Just as the spiritual world evolves, so too must I continuously grow and refine my abilities. Developing myself—whether through ongoing study, meditation, or self-reflection—enhances my intuitive skills and deepens the connection to the energies I work with. Personal growth also strengthens my resilience, emotional intelligence, and ability to maintain balance in my life, all of which are crucial when helping others navigate their own challenges. As I evolve, I am better equipped to offer clearer insights, stronger healing, and more effective guidance. In essence, my commitment to personal development not only enriches my own journey but also empowers me to serve others at my highest potential.

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?

Over the years, my mentors have played a crucial role in helping me develop the skills I needed and gain the confidence to start my own business. When I began this journey, my connection to the spiritual world was minimal—just a word here or a picture there. But as I learned more techniques and my mentors challenged me, my abilities grew stronger.
My mentors offer valuable feedback, help me navigate challenges, and provide insights based on their own experiences. They introduce me to advanced techniques, help me hone my skills, and assist in building my confidence.
My mentors also offer a safe space for me to explore and question my abilities, fostering a deeper understanding of my own intuitive and healing processes. By sharing their knowledge and experiences, they help me avoid common pitfalls and encourage me to push beyond my comfort zones, ultimately enhancing my effectiveness and growth in my spiritual practice.
