✨🪽Connecting to Angels: True Stories of Protection, Signs, and Miracles (Ep.16)

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most life-changing spiritual shifts I’ve experienced: building a real relationship with my angels. It began years ago after reading Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein—and it opened the door to a deeper sense of guidance, safety, and miracles in my everyday life.

You’ll hear true stories of angelic protection (including two moments where I saw a literal swoosh of light intervene), how I call on Archangels like Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Zadkiel, and the simple way you can start connecting with your own guardian angels today.

We’ll also talk about angel numbers, signs (including rainbows and animals), and the practice that helps you actually receive guidance—especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you have to do everything alone.

Transcript

Hello, beautiful soul. Welcome back to the show. I’m your host, Nicole Mixdorf. I’m an Akashic light healer and intuitive guide—and today we’re diving into a topic I’m so passionate about: angels.

I’ve had a life-changing connection with my angels that began about five years ago. I didn’t always have a relationship with them. I grew up believing in angels, but I wasn’t deeply connected until I read Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein. In that book, she shares some of her spiritual practices, including how she connects with angels—and it truly resonated with me.

So today, I’m going to share some of the experiences I’ve had working with angels, different ways I connect with them, and how you can connect with your angels too—so you can receive divine guidance, protection, blessings, and miracles in your life.

We all have guardian angels

One of the first things I learned is that we all have our own guardian angels. Angels are messengers of the Creator. They bring information, wisdom, guidance—and you can ask for their help with anything.

Everyone has at least one guardian angel who has been with them since the beginning, and many people have more than one. When I do Akashic Healing Journeys, one of the things I love sharing is information about a client’s angels—how many they have, what their names are, what they help with, and how to work with them.

Because the truth is: we never walk alone. We always have divine angelic support available… but we have to ask. Our angels are present, but they can’t intervene unless we invite them in.

Speak to your angels out loud

One of the biggest things I’ve learned about communicating with angels is this: you need to speak out loud. It can be a whisper, but it can’t only be a thought.

You can say, “My angels, I call you in,” or you can speak directly to your guardian angel.

If you want to learn your guardian angel’s name, try this:

“Angel, my guardian angel, I call you in. I call you in. I call you in. I would love to build a relationship with you. What is your name?”

Have a paper and pen nearby—and write down the very first name that pops into your mind. The first one is usually the answer. You’ll feel a “yes” in your body.

That’s what happened for me. I asked, a name came through immediately, and it felt so aligned. And from there, I started talking to my angel every day.

Angels are everywhere… and so are Archangels

There are angels everywhere—angels of the trees, angels that support animals, angels for the moon, angels over water, angels overseeing the elements. And there are also Archangels, who have specific missions and roles.

You can call on Archangels for very specific support.

Archangel Michael (Protection)

Archangel Michael is the protector. I call on him every single day. I ask him to protect me, my family, our home, our property, our vehicles, and even our trees.

I ask Archangel Michael to place angels at every corner of our property—every door and every window. I ask him to place angels around my children’s school. And anytime we travel, I call on protection.

When I get in the car, I say something like:

“My angels, please protect me in this vehicle. Please guide me safely, with good purpose. Thank you, thank you, thank you for always protecting me and my beautiful family.”

And I’ll tell you—I feel so safe when I drive.

A true story: an angel saved us on the freeway

I had an incredible experience once—one of the two times I’ve actually seen an angel.

We were on the freeway in Los Angeles. My husband was driving, my kids were in the back, and I was in the passenger seat. We were in the second-fastest lane. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a car two lanes over, cutting across traffic—coming directly toward us.

It was going to collide into the side of our car—right where I was sitting.

And I said out loud: “Angels, protect us.”

As the words came out of my mouth, I saw a swoosh of light—a literal swoop of light—move through, and the car shifted back into alignment. Instead of coming at us to T-bone us, it suddenly corrected and drove straight alongside us in the lane next to us.

It was the craziest thing. I couldn’t believe it.

And in that moment, I knew: I am protected.

I gave so much gratitude for that miracle.

A true story: the tree that fell beside our car

I’m also deeply connected to trees. I have several 80-foot trees on my property, and anytime it’s windy or raining, I pray for protection—asking for the angel of the trees to anchor the roots, strengthen the trunk, and protect our home and family.

One windy day years ago, my husband took my son—who was about four—to the park to fly a kite. We had a minivan. He parked next to a massive old tree.

Before they even got out, that giant tree came down in the wind—right beside the minivan. My husband couldn’t even open the driver’s door. And yet, when I saw the photo… it was unbelievable.

Branches were gently touching the car, but there wasn’t a scratch. It was literally like the hand of God placed the tree beside the vehicle.

My husband and my child were inside.

That, to me, was divine intervention.

And instead of being frightened, I felt deep gratitude and confirmation: my family is protected.

Archangels I call on regularly

In my healing work, I call on different Archangels depending on what’s needed:

• Archangel Michael (protection, clearing heavy or dark energies)
• Archangel Faith (support with clearing and returning energy to the light)
• Archangel Zadkiel + Archangel Amethyst (keepers of the violet flame of transmutation)
• Archangel Raphael (healing; emerald green healing light)
• Archangel Gabriel (communication; speaking clearly, difficult conversations, public speaking)
• Archangel Ariel (animals and nature)

You can also ask your guardian angel to communicate with someone else’s guardian angel—especially if you’re navigating conflict—so there can be more understanding and peace.

Practical ways to work with angels every day

Here are a few simple ways I work with angels constantly:

1) Ask for help finding lost things.
“Angels, please help me find what I misplaced. Please guide me. Thank you.”

And most of the time, within minutes, I’m guided right to it.

2) Ask yes/no questions.
I ask my angel directly, and the first “yes” or “no” that pops in—I trust it.

3) Ask for support (and watch people appear).
When I launched my podcast, I asked for help: website support, marketing support, social strategy… and no joke, within days, people appeared—connections “fell out of the sky.” And many of them didn’t even require me to pay.

That taught me: you don’t have to do everything alone.

And that was huge for me, because one of my lifetime wounds has been the belief that I have to do everything by myself.

Angels speak through signs

Angels speak through signs all the time:

Angel numbers — 1111, 222, 444, 555, 777, 1234, and more.
When you see them, look them up in the moment. I often find the message is exactly what I needed.

And what’s wild is that the message can change—even for the same number sequence. I once sent a friend the link to the exact message I saw… and when they opened it, they received a different message than I did. Spirit is amazing like that.

Animals — out-of-the-ordinary encounters often carry a message.
If you see something unusual—like an owl—look up “spiritual meaning of an owl” and pay attention to what resonates.

Rainbows — rainbows are a powerful sign that angels are near.

A true story: my son’s miracle (and the rainbow confirmation)

There was a time when my son was about three and he was crying—nonstop—completely inconsolable. It went on and on. I was exhausted. I tried everything.

We were sitting on the bathroom floor. He was slumped over, low energy, totally depleted.

I was desperate. And I said out loud: “Angels, I need a miracle right now. My son needs a miracle right now. Please help me.”

And that’s the second time I saw a swoosh of light.

It moved right through him—almost lifting him up—and he stood straight up. The crying stopped instantly.

Then I turned my head and saw a rainbow reflecting in the silver bathtub handle.

A rainbow—right there.

And I burst into tears. It was confirmation. Thank you, angels.

How to meet your guardian angel (a simple practice)

Here’s what I recommend:

Close your eyes and take three slow breaths.

Inhale… and exhale.
 Inhale… and exhale.
 Inhale… and exhale.

From that calm, centered place, say:

“Angel, my guardian angel, I call you in. I call you in. I call you in. I would love to build a deeper relationship with you. What is your name? What would you like me to call you?”

Trust what comes through.

You can ask your angels for help in the morning, for clarity on decisions, or even ask them to guide the first thought you wake up with.

The more you ask, the more you build the relationship, the more magical life becomes. You’ll notice synchronicities, signs, and support.

Nothing is random.

Closing + invitation

I hope you enjoyed hearing these stories and learning how I connect with my angels. I hope you feel inspired to strengthen your own connection—or establish one.
