Raven-Symoné Pearman-Maday has visions just like her on-screen character!

For over three years, the actress starred as Raven Baxter, a teenage girl whose psychic visions got her into trouble with her loved ones on the popular teen sitcom, "That's So Raven," before it got axed in 2007.

She later reprised the role when the show was reborn as "Raven's Home" in 2017. The multi-talented star has now revealed that she possesses specific psychic abilities, which might explain why she was so good at portraying the character.

On Sunday, July 23's episode of her "The Best Podcast Ever" with her wife Miranda, Raven confessed that she shares some similarities with her character from "That's So Raven." Starting the conversation, the 37-year-old Disney star expressed her unwavering belief in psychic powers, saying:

"I believe in psychics, puns f**king intended. I truly believe. I believe humans have the ability in their brains to tap into energy fields that allow for truth to connect when you know how to translate it correctly. I can walk into a room, and it's reading energy and energy in the psychic plane because it's not on a physical, material plane."

Although she acknowledged that she could not directly see into the future, the "College Road Trip" star elaborated on experiencing moments of déjà vu since she was seven, thanks to her "spirit guides" assisting her. In her words:

"I do have moments where I really will just stare, and I will see a scene that is happening to me, or that is going to happen to me in another dimension, and I'm like, 'Yo, this is weird." There will be a time when I'm walking, and I'll trip over nothing."

Regarding her spirit guides, Raven clarified that she connected to them through "shared trauma," with meditation playing a crucial role in allowing them to offer assistance that remains meaningful to date.

Despite her firm belief in her psychic experiences, the "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" star admitted to maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism, remaining cautious not to buy into claims of supernatural powers made by others, including fortune tellers.

"Now if you sit me down and somebody's like, 'Look into my crystal ball,' I'm gonna be like, 'Give me my money back.' But I do believe there is natural auras that hold the experiences of all of our people totally," she shared.

"We wanted to tell y'all something," Raven said before her partner interrupted, saying, "We have an announcement. We're having a podcast." The actress then disclosed that they had paired with iHeart Radio to create "a podcast called 'The Best Podcast Ever with Raven & Miranda,'" which "is so much fun." 

After agreeing with the "Kim Possible" voice actress that the podcast "is so exciting," Miranda directly told their fans to check out her and her wife's bios for the link where they could watch its trailer.

The couple further detailed that they would have guest appearances, including Jo Siwa, Howie Mendel, Demi Lovato, Adrienne Bailon, Meghan Trainor, Keke Palmer, and Daryl Sabara, amongst others. Additionally, the podcast would incorporate the unique format from the "Tea Time" segment of their YouTube show, "8 PM."

The format in question means that a spinning wheel would determine the topic they discuss with their guest. To that end, their producer will spin a wheel to select an unexpected word and keep it a secret from the hosts and the guest until the right time.

Reacting to the news, one person commented, "That is amazing @ravensymone !!! I am happy for the both of you guys! I guessed it wrong though I thought the both of you was gonna have a baby."
