Want Better Strategy and Intuition in Business? Talk to Your Business Angels.
Psychic intuitive Nichole Bigley appears on the WooBiz podcast to reveal how archangels can guide business leaders
When I build businesses, like any other entrepreneur or business leader, I rely on strategy, data, and experience to make decisions. But what if I could summon the help of angels? Having an angelic guide could be a wonderful thing. So I decided to explore it.
As such, this week on the WooBiz Podcast, Nichole Bigley — a well-known psychic and host of A Psychic’s Story — joins us to discuss how professionals can collaborate with angels to sharpen their intuition, spark creativity, and lead with greater clarity. She is also the co-author of the book Looking for Angels, which I highly recommend.
A scientific survey conducted by Nichole and co-author Dr. Scott Guerin revealed that 75% of people believe in angels, and 32% say they’ve personally encountered one. With numbers like that, it’s clear that angelic experiences are more common than many might assume.
Because Nichole is our featured guest on the podcast this week, we’re sharing the background information below to help you understand who the archangels are, what each represents, and how their guidance can play a role in both spiritual growth and professional success. Before exploring how to work with them in a business context, it’s helpful to understand their traditional roles and characteristics.

Now on to the good stuff…
What Are Archangels?
The word “archangel” comes from the Greek archangelos, meaning “chief messenger.” Across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and mystical traditions, archangels are described as powerful spiritual beings who deliver messages, offer protection, and oversee different realms of human experience.
While various religious texts and mystical writings name many archangels, seven are most commonly recognized in Western spirituality. Each is associated with a specific domain — from protection and healing to communication and wisdom — making their roles surprisingly relevant to modern professional life.
The Seven Commonly Recognized Archangels
Below is a closer look at seven key archangels, what they are traditionally known for, and how Nichole Bigley suggests their energy can be applied in business and career settings.
Michael — Protection, Leadership, and Courage
Michael is widely known as the protector and warrior. His name means “Who is like God,” and he is often depicted leading heavenly armies. In the workplace, Michael’s qualities translate into strength, boundary-setting, and leadership under pressure.
Entrepreneurs and executives often call on Michael when making difficult decisions, negotiating high-stakes deals, or protecting their vision from distraction. Many visualize a shield of blue light before major presentations or launches to reinforce confidence and focus.
Gabriel — Communication, Vision, and Messaging
Gabriel’s name means “God is my strength.” In scripture, Gabriel is the divine messenger, bringing pivotal announcements to prophets and leaders. In business, his energy supports clear communication, compelling storytelling, and visionary thinking.
Professionals may call on Gabriel to refine their messaging, articulate ideas with precision, or find the right words during media interviews, pitches, or negotiations. He is associated with white or copper light, symbolizing clarity and truth.
Raphael — Wellness, Resilience, and Team Healing
Raphael means “God heals.” His role centers on physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Within organizations, this can manifest as improved workplace well-being, stronger team resilience, and healthier leadership.
Entrepreneurs might turn to Raphael during periods of stress, burnout, or rapid growth. Teams can invite his green healing light to support morale and recovery after intense cycles, restructuring, or interpersonal conflict.
Uriel — Strategic Insight and Problem Solving
Uriel, whose name means “God is my light,” is the archangel of wisdom and illumination. In business, his qualities are mirrored in clear strategy, foresight, and the ability to see the bigger picture.
Leaders may seek Uriel’s guidance when facing complex challenges or critical decisions. His golden light is often visualized during planning sessions or innovation work, inviting breakthrough insights and sound judgment.
Chamuel — Relationship Building and Team Harmony
Chamuel’s name means “He who seeks God.” He governs love, compassion, and harmonious relationships. In professional settings, his influence shows up in trust-building, conflict resolution, and team culture.
Business owners and managers can call on Chamuel to attract aligned partners, ease tense negotiations, or cultivate a collaborative workplace. Visualizing pink light before challenging conversations can help soften dynamics and encourage mutual understanding.
Jophiel — Creativity, Positive Thinking, and Inspiration
Jophiel means “Beauty of God.” She inspires creativity and helps shift perspectives from negativity to possibility — invaluable qualities for innovators, marketers, and creators.
Professionals might turn to Jophiel to break through creative blocks, reimagine branding, or find inspiration in complex projects. Her energy, often visualized as yellow or magenta light, brings clarity, optimism, and fresh ideas.
Zadkiel — Transformation, Forgiveness, and Growth
Zadkiel’s name means “Righteousness of God.” He embodies emotional release, forgiveness, and transformation — essential qualities for sustainable leadership.
In business, Zadkiel’s influence can support leaders during major transitions, help teams move on from failed initiatives, or encourage personal growth after setbacks. Violet or purple light is often used to connect with his transformative energy during strategic resets or rebranding phases.
How to Talk to Archangels About Your Work
Nichole emphasizes that communicating with archangels doesn’t require any particular religious background — just sincerity and focus. Entrepreneurs and professionals can incorporate these practices into their routines to invite guidance and insight:
Prayer or Invocation
Speak as you would to a trusted mentor. Be clear and specific about what you need help with.Meditation and Visualization
Use the color associated with the archangel you’re addressing to focus your attention and create a calm, receptive state.Journaling
Write questions about a business challenge, then allow intuitive responses to flow without overanalyzing.Pay Attention to Cues
Repeated number sequences, unexpected symbols, or meaningful songs can act as subtle affirmations or guidance.Create a Sacred Workspace
Simple cues like a candle, crystal, or symbolic object can help center your attention and keep you mindful of the guidance you’ve invited in.
These practices aren’t about replacing strategy — they’re about adding a layer of intuitive intelligence that can inform it.
How skeptics can use this approach even if they are not sure about the existence of angels
Nichole’s meditation isn’t only about literal angelic communication — it’s also a structured way to quiet the mind and access deeper layers of intuition and clarity. Even if you don’t believe in angels, or have your doubts, the act of pausing, focusing inward, and setting an intentional question engages your subconscious in a powerful way. Many people experience insights not because a supernatural being delivers answers, but because the practice helps bypass mental noise and reveal thoughts, patterns, and solutions already within them. In this sense, “asking angels for guidance” can be understood as a psychological tool — a way to frame your inner inquiry so that your mind can respond with clarity and focus.
Cultural and Interfaith Context
Archangels appear in multiple traditions, each with its own emphasis:
In Judaism, Michael and Gabriel are most prominent, with Raphael and Uriel appearing in mystical texts.
Islam recognizes Jibril (Gabriel), Mikail (Michael), Israfil, and Azrael, each with specific roles.
Christianity highlights Michael and Gabriel in canonical scripture, with others appearing in apocryphal writings.
New Age spirituality incorporates archangels into personal development, energy work, and intuitive practices.
Understanding these varied perspectives can enrich how you think about archangels — not just as religious figures, but as archetypal forces that map surprisingly well onto the challenges of modern leadership and innovation.
