Although Rebecca Millman was used to the powerful intuition of her family members, she didn't accept or hone her abilities as a psychic medium until she was well into her 20's.
There were plenty of experiences, including having objects thrown at her when she was alone at home which scared her so much she slept in the car outside.
But in this conversation, Rebecca makes her gift seem surprisingly normal.

Three Gates Media
Symon Still was a born athlete. He moved just because he could. Growing up in a family that was always doing some form of sport, it was natural he would fill many hours of the day trying to improve his fitness and skill.
His ambition was clear and he achieved it - becoming a physical education ( and maths) teacher - where daily immersion in his favourite past-time was coupled with the fun of coaching and interacting with kids.
Then a distracted driver changed Symon's life forever.

"People really don't understand how poorly chemicals are regulated in Australia and how poorly risk is managed."
Jane Bremmer was mother to a small baby when she and her partner Lee Bell moved into their first home in the Perth foothills. It wasn't long before they discovered they were living opposite a massive open toxic pit of petroleum waste, which they believed had been causing significant health issues in the community for many years.
That discovery was the catalyst for two decades of committed campaigning and community education, making Bremmer and Bell highly regarded consultants for international NGOs.
Jane talks about the highs and lows of her life as a campaigner from the introduction of Contaminated Sites laws in Western Australia to hate mail and death threats.
Jane says the life of an activist is high energy but it can be demoralising when you cant break through to the people who can do something about it.
Thanks to Jane Bremmer for being part of Rare Air.
