In this episode of the Native Yoga Toddcast, Todd sits down with Polly Green, a professional empath, psychic, and medium, to explore intuition, empath abilities, psychic awareness, and spiritual growth.
Polly’s journey is both inspiring and unique.

Now based in California, Polly works with clients to understand and navigate their empathic gifts, strengthen intuition, and live with clarity and confidence.
Whether you are an empath seeking guidance, someone exploring psychic abilities, or simply curious about spiritual growth and intuition, this episode provides practical insights, inspiring stories, and tools for personal transformation.
