Speaker 1:

You are listening to a psychic story, a podcast that shares behind the scenes insights of people who lead supernatural lives among the ordinary. And I'm your host, Nicole Begley join me every other Wednesday. As I dispel the myths behind magic and lore. Welcome to a psychic story. Hi, psychic listeners for a psychic story. For the episode, we have Britney book Walter on, and she is a medium, a psychic, a healer and a coach and excited to talk with her because her experience from her and I just chatting briefly is really all about growing up and learning about your abilities in a small town and what that reaction was and how she was able to, as I like to call it come out of the psychic closet. So welcome to the show, Brittany, I love your enthusiasm. So just tell us a little bit about, you know, one, when you were growing up, what kind of your, your experiences with your friends and family, and then as you embraced your abilities more and more in your gifts, what you did and what you experienced and how you kind of just started to feel more comfortable with, you know, the, the gifts that you have,

Speaker 2:

Right. So, you know, as a child, I kind of, and you hear so many psychic mediums say this, but I did, I, I felt like since that there was something different about me compared to, um, other, you know, school aged children. And a lot of it was just having a very strong, natural intuition, you know, saying things or thinking things as a child and then watching them, you know, come to fruition was something that was pretty natural for me, but I just assumed that everybody, you know, had the same ability or, or, you know, was working through the same things. And so, um, it wasn't until, you know, my early twenties, I began to realize that there was more to this than just coincidence and, you know, growing up in a very strong Lutheran background, it was super hard to, um, look into anything, you know, that had to do with like science or, you know, being a medium, those types of things. It was really hard for me to look into those things without feeling a deep rooted fear, you know, um, because that's as a Christian, what you're, what you're raised to believe. And so that's helped them in the Bible belt of America in Missouri. You know, I kind of stuffed that down for quite a while, try to just focus on being a teen. And like I said, even in my early twenties, that was when I began to question things, you know, is there more out there? And, um, I ended up going into, uh, a little bookshop here in, um, here in my town. And, uh, they, you know, the lady in there was like, oh yeah, you're you you've got something going on. Why don't you try tomorrow? And, uh, I thought, okay, this would be a great way for me to kind of ease into this ability at the time, I had no idea that it was an actual psychic ability. I just thought, you know, that I was drawn to Turo or, or the mystic or mysterious, um, side of things. And so I was just kind of, you know, barely dipping my foot in, but it all had to be in secret. And that was so upsetting and so frustrating and so hard for me to handle because I'm one of those people, you know, I tell it like it is you get what you see, you know, so leading this secret life where I would invite friends over for, for, you know, fun Touro readings here, and there was really, really hard for me. It was hard to, to bust out of the clairvoyant closet because of where we live and because of my family background with Christianity and, and things like that. And I think that's such an important topic because, you know, if you grow up in a bigger city where the actual town that I grew up in had 3000 people in it, 4,000 people in it. And so there was no bookstores or anything like that. It wasn't till I turned 20 and moved to the town over that, I found a bookstore where I could go in and kind of freely discuss, Hey, this is what I was me. And I'm not really for sure what's happening. Even on that spectrum on the other end of it, it was, I didn't have anybody to help me through it. There's nobody that comes up and says, Hey, let's talk about your abilities and see if we can strengthen your intuition. That was not available to me. So I had to just some through books and do research on, on the internet and things like that. So, like I said, that's why I'm such a big advocate for, um, talking about my story and, you know, trying to help others feeds into whether they want to be, you know, a professional psychic, or if they just want to explore their abilities further.

Speaker 1:

Did your family, when you were growing up at all exhibit anything and then just kind of not talk about it as much, or is it really just you that you, cause it sounds like, and I can hear it in your voice. It was very much a lonely path for quite a while I imagine.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah. So, you know, we would talk about when I had seen, um, you know, as a small child, there were several stories, uh, several moments where I had actually seen apparitions, which, you know, if you know anything now, most adults don't actually see apparitions anymore. It's usually just a child's life thing. I mean, some do, but

Speaker 1:

We block it out.

Speaker 2:

Right? Totally. He let the ego come in and filter out, um, the ability to do that. Oh, it's heartbreaking. But, um, yeah, so we would talk about some of the crazy quote, unquote crazy stories, you know, from when I was a, and um, you know, I had, I had another family member who had some of this same super strong intuition, but it was never something we talked about. In fact, I only, just recently, like two years ago, talk to my grandmother. And I remember her telling me, you know, I have the same ability, but I was told you don't talk about that. You know, they will lock you up

Speaker 1:

Kind of even nowadays, too, even though it's still people talk about it, they're like, you know, it's crazy. I had a friend over and she had no idea and it's not like I was hiding it, but we were talking. And I was like, yeah, it was like, when I was a little on the resistant we're sharing, I was sharing stories. And she's like, that is just crazy. But she was fascinated. But at the same time, I'm like, you probably think I need to be on some sort of medication. So I can't imagine what it would be like back then. Right. Um, with your grandmother and my grandmother and stuff. And so I just definitely can relate. But you said, so you had a story, so I'm

Speaker 2:

Okay. So yeah, as a kid, um, probably one of my favorites to tell and with it, with it being the beginning of October, it's perfect. It was Christmas Eve. Yeah. I think it was Christmas Eve. My mom and my aunt had went out that night for drinks and we stayed home with my grandma. Um, my mom and my aunt were on their way back and we live in an even tinier town when I was young, um, of like 500 people. Um, it was in Philadelphia, Missouri. They were driving back home from Palmyra. And, um, they saw a man standing in the middle of the street and those the road wearing a long trench coat, a hat. And it was so real for them. Um, that my aunt thought she hit him. Oh, wow. So yeah, it was like, they drove through this man. Right. And cause them, they, they pulled over, they went to this old folks' home that was right there on the side of the road. And you know, they're like, Hey, are you missing anybody? Who's anybody getting out? I'm almost hit someone, but I don't know where they went. So that would freak me out. Right. So this is just this crazy and experience for my aunt and my mother who were adults at the time as it worked for me. So anyways, they get home, you know, that they was like, there's no, no residents missing. Everything's fine. And they get home. My aunt leaves, my mom and I and my little brother, um, lay on the couch together, all three of us and we're facing the Christmas tree and I'll never forget, it had to be, I don't know, three or four in the morning I was coming in and out of sleep. My mom had an arm wrapped around me and my little brother, you know, she was behind both of us. We were all kind of up on this couch. And I woke up and I said, mom, who is that man? And I had to be 6 56. She said, what are you talking about? And I said that man, right there with the long black coat and the hat, I said, he's wet. And it was raining that night and it wasn't cold enough for it to be, you know, sweet or smell. It was just raining. And so this man was clearly to me in this jacket, you know, he was soaking wet and he had this hat on a new ceilings right in front of a Christmas tree. And my mom said, what does he look like? And I said, no, I described, we can. And she just said, Brittany, close your eyes and don't move. So I close my eyes. I didn't move, wake up the next day. It's Christmas. It's kind of forgotten. Right. But it was one of those things where my family will never, ever forget that experience and looking back, I'm so glad that I had that experience because I find it hard. And I don't know if you are the same way, but there's some days I wake up and I'm like, I cannot believe that I have this ability yeah. Stories that I go back to, you know, that I couldn't have made up as a kid, but I knew nothing about that kind of anchor me and, and helped me realize, no, this is real.

Speaker 1:

Do you think everyone has a natural intuition? Like you kind of mentioned earlier on. And I think that it's, it tends to be stronger. I mean, this is just my belief with families and that's why I like to ask the question because, um, whether or not your grandmother, um, shared it, but I'm, I'm assuming your mom and your aunt probably do too, to some extent. And then they just, you know, whether they're religious or other things, like as we're taught, growing up, they just kind of, um, turn it off a little bit, you know, intentionally and wonder if that, that gentleman or that, that spirit was trying to get their attention. And then he was like, oh my gosh, they saw me and then kind of followed you guys home or, or them home to get some sort of message across, because that's where I find usually in those types of situations, there is a message, or there's some sort of connection of sharing that. And then when we don't understand it, when we're young like that, or we are still learning and we're not experienced, we don't necessarily realize that that might be the, the intent behind a versus something scary. It's still scary and jarring. Sure.

Speaker 2:

You're right. Absolutely. 100%. And you know, just saying, Hey, I go back to that moment and I think there's gotta be something more to this. My aunt and my mother who had grown were able to see the separation too. So yes, I totally agree with you. And I love that. You just put it in perspective, probably

Speaker 1:

Also something for your mom to maybe not be as dismissive when you were growing up. Like, she's like, oh my gosh, like, what she's saying is it's not just imagination or a child being creative kind of thing. Like for them to see it, I'm sure it validated it to her. So that maybe then that enabled you to grow it a little bit more, even though you didn't have that full support system necessarily with the family or with your, the people in your town. Um, it gave you a little bit more room to grow, I guess, and grow your

Speaker 2:

Abilities. My family has been incredibly supportive and I am very grateful for that. I cannot imagine how crazy it would have to be to have, you know, I think I was about 27 when I came out to have this 27 year old hairstylist you, uh, and stay at home mom just one day, say, oh, Hey, I can do this and I'm going to do it. I think it would be like, I know they were kind of like, oh righty then. But they were still, you know, very, very supportive. It was, it was, you know, my father, he was kind of had in the beginning, he kind of had a hard time with it. It's um, in his word, freaks them out a little bit, but you know, over the years I think it's become something, you know, he's accustomed to, and it's natural, but I still can't say certain things around him without him just totally, you know, being freaked out. But that doesn't mean that they're not very supportive and they are. And so I'm grateful for that, but it's pounds.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. The town. Oh yeah. Let's get into that. Cause I think, you know, or before you even get into the, the town people and, um, how that works, but the way I also kind of, and I'm just picking up on your energy, not intentionally. So, uh, so if that's okay, we do that. Yeah. Yeah. We do that. It's like, especially when kindred spirits, um, so I have your permission to do it, but what I'm feeling like from your father in particular is, um, he, you know, it's, it's a loving thing. He understands. It's not that it's a disbelief, but like you mentioned the term freak out because sometimes people don't understand. They're like, okay, well I'm on a need to know basis. Right? Exactly.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly how I would say him.

Speaker 1:

It's like, I need to know, like, if it's going to impact me and it's an important message, maybe I don't want to know, but maybe you should tell me, but at the same time, like I'm good. I don't need to know all the details kind of thing. So that's what I was picking up

Speaker 2:

On. What's crazy. And so let me validate that for you. What's crazy is my dad is known for saying I'm on a need to know basis. That is one of his, that is one of his catchphrases. So let me just go ahead and solidify your feelings because he says that's so crazy. He says that all the time, I'm going to need to know basis

Speaker 1:

Exactly what popped into my head. It's almost like a military kind of, or a business mindset of permission to speak, need to know basis. That's it. Okay. That's crazy. Well, thank you for validating that. Um, but yeah, let's get to win. So obviously your family was supportive, you know, and whether they didn't understand a hundred percent, they were open to it. And then how did you approach it with where you live and whether it's your coworkers and other people around junior community?

Speaker 2:

When I was 20, I started to, um, read, throw, and, you know, some through all the tarot books that I could. And at the time I didn't realize that this had anything to do with psych and science. I thought this is a hundred percent based on intuition. I didn't know the difference between the two. Um, when that there actually wasn't a difference. And so I was just reading friends, refining and totally keeping it a secret at the time I did, you know, I was married and my in-laws were very involved in their church. And so I was, I was absolutely petrified to come out to them, but I was also scared that my community would think I had just lost my mind. So I had started a, um, a Facebook page where you had to be invited and it was under a fake name. And I only did, um, reading in big cities. So like I would drive two or three hours away where nobody knew me and I would sit at these psychic fairs and just read people's cards. And it was during that time that I began to really build up this, um, intuitive muscle. And, uh, I ended up wanting to go to, um, to Salem, Massachusetts and get my own psychic reading. And, and when I'd went there, something kind of profound had happened. The psychic who, which keep in mind, this was my first psychic reading ever. I was already given psychic readings, but this was my first psychic reading. He told me, by the time you're 28, you will be a very well versed, psychic, medium. And I thought he was absolutely crazy. There was no way on us that I would ever come out and tell everybody that this is what I do, you know, professionally and I was still doing hair, you know? So there was no way that I was going to quit that and come out. And he said, well, when it's time, you know, because I was very dismissive of it. I, he said, when it's time to start seeing triple digits everywhere. And I thought, okay. And, uh, one day I was headed back from St. Louis back two hours north of where I live now. Um, I was actually two hours. Let me try it again. Two hours south of where I live now, I was, um, headed back home, pick up my kids. I was running late. I began to see 4, 4, 4 everywhere. I mean, it was insane. The amount of force I was seeing all over the place and I was being dismissive of it. A tractor pulled out in front of me and we're going like five miles an hour. And I was so frustrated because I was, I was going to be late to get my kids. And, uh, I noticed spray painted on the back of this tracker was 4, 4, 4. So I was, I would no force to sit behind this slow moving tractor and think about the fact that I was being so dismissive

Speaker 1:

Stare at it. It's literally right in front of your face.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, yes. And that was the moment where I said, okay, I'm listening. I, you know, to take my hand and guide me, I'll do, I'll do it. Um, and that's where I kind of slowly started to tell other people and bring the family that, that I was doing this. So with

Speaker 1:

Your husband, um, did he know before you guys got married?

Speaker 2:

No. No. I actually found out, um, that I had this psychic ability, um, and medium disability, but I found out I had both of those while we were together while we were married. And so that was kind of hard for him too. And, you know, I'll be honest, it took me 28 years or actually 26 years to realize that I had the ability and to accept it and to use it. So, you know, give our family and friends a little bit of credit here and, you know, just be grateful that they're even open to hearing about it because, you know, there are some people, especially in the older generations where they just will not even entertain it, they will not talk about it. And, um, you know, it was, it was hard. It was really, really hard telling them that this is what I do. And this is who I am, probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. And it was very freeing once I did do it. Um, and after that, you know, I changed my name. I made it my real name on Facebook and, um, really just came into my own. I went from, you know, doing psychic readings to realizing that I was actually a medium to now teaching and, you know, doing it all. So coming out in a small town, wasn't easy, but I, I have to say that they were much more supportive than I ever thought they would be. And that's one of the big things that I kind of want to reiterate here is we're so fear-based as a society, most of us that, you know, we don't even give ourselves, we don't break away from that ego and bust out and give ourselves the opportunity to actually be ourselves speaking for psychics and mediums. And, and if you would just surrender and, um, you know, just allow yourself to come into who you are. I think you'll find that it's absolutely beautiful how accepting some people are. You know, I've had people come up to me in my community. I still live in a pretty small towns and it's like 17,000 people here in handles. I'm sorry, but I have people come up to me that I never in a million years imagined had an interest or even had the ability to do this. And they'll say, Hey, listen, I need your help. And I am just so unbelievably grateful that I can do that for them because there was nobody there for me. When, when I went through this, I felt very supported by my family, but nobody understood or knew Nicole, like nobody knew what I was going through or you know, how to navigate through this or who to go to for help, you know, to learn. And so, um, you know, just being able to, to point them in the right direction, if I didn't read another person just being able to do that would make me feel like, okay, that's my purpose. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And you've gone through a lot of the stages and the feelings, which I think are really important for most people too, whether you're in it fully. And you're struggling with this now, or maybe you just don't realize like the fact that, like you said, that the fear based of even just being able to, it's almost like you don't have to be loud and proud about it. If you don't want to, like, for example, you mentioned your dad and he's like, I'm on a need to know basis and that's fine. Like, love you support you, but don't need to be in. So you kind of start to, I think the important thing for at least me and going through it as well as I felt like I knew, I felt like something was missing, like you said, but then also that, um, I wasn't truly being authentic in myself. And so it was less about me wearing it on my sleeve and a Scarlet letter or something like that. And more of just okay, if it comes up in conversation or I feel compelled or something, then just to be open about that. Right. Right. Yeah. And so if you're kind of struggling about you feel like something's missing, you want to explore, but you have that fear or you're not sure how people are going to take it. It's more or less of just thinking about it as baby steps. Like you don't have to have all the answers and you don't need to go into that and just know that there is, there are support groups out there. There are people like ourselves that are just willing to have the conversations. That's why I loved when you reached out on Facebook, I'm like, oh my gosh, another kindred spirit. It's like, and just sometimes extending the invitation or reaching out is what really helps lift us up.

Speaker 2:

I have several people in my life that, um, and I think it's important that I mentioned that that gave me what they like to call the purse. And I've got a couple of friends, the Woodriff, my stepdad, who is an incredible and amazing, intuitive. He blows my mind all the time. But all of these people encourage me to, you know, who cares, who cares, what other people think, just do what you feel is right. Do what you feel called to do. And you'll find a sense of belonging and happiness and, oh my God, they could not have been more. Right. And so I'm just so grateful to the people that I latched on to in the beginning of this journey. And I think it's so important that everybody find that person. So it doesn't have to be because none of these people were certified psychics that I, that I latched on to that helped me get through this day with people who just had an open mind. So if you're, you're listening to this program and maybe you're not necessarily a psychic, but you're totally open to this, be that person be that person for somebody else.

Speaker 1:

I think that's what blows my mind is that, like you just said, people are open they're out there. I think that, um, it's almost like we're all dancing around each other on these eggshells about it. And it's almost like once you find that you're just able to just be, um, uh, you know, stated or be open then nearly you, you will be pleasantly surprised at how many other people are like, like that friend that I mentioned, um, a little bit ago, she's like really, oh my gosh, tell me more. And she was fascinated. So I just shared with her, you know, about those things. And not that I was afraid to at this point, but it's just like, you know, whatever, if you're curious and you have the questions, it doesn't hurt to, um, ask around and listen more. And like you said, to be open about it. And it just blows my mind. I think too, sometimes we think, oh, we have to have like the experts, the certifications. And yes, they do come in handy from a lot of different places, but we all again have those intuitive abilities and things. It's just a matter of, I loved what you said too, that intuitive muscle, the more you work it, you know, if that actually, um, is strengthened over time and, you know, you can decide how far you want to go with certain things just based on where you are in your life and with the pandemic right now, unfortunately, with a lot of us being at home, one of the guests we have is that we do have more virtual opportunities to connect with people and to find those resources and to dig in a little bit more in topics that we wouldn't be if we were out and about in the real world kind of thing.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. Yeah. The way that I found out that I was a medium was because somebody else reached out to me and said, Hey, you know, I want you to come to this peer circle. And I was like, no, I have no interest. No thank you. But I look back on that and I think, thanks, I think to myself, oh my God, I am so grateful that, that she reached out to me. You know, this woman wasn't a medium herself. She was just someone that was like, you know, I feel intuitively pulled to ask you to drive three hours to sit in the spirit circle. And I'm like, I have no interest in talking to anybody. There's nobody over there that I can't, you know, I'm like, no, and she was so persistent. So you never know you may be the door that opens up somebody else's ability and you may not even have the same ability. You know, it just amazes me.

Speaker 1:

No, that's very cool. So for people that may not be aware, know the difference between a psychic and a medium and, um, also a spirit circle. Can you explain like how you mentioned a little bit earlier about the intuitive aspect and doing the tarot readings, but from the mediumship angle, what did that look like? And how did you get tapped

Speaker 2:

Into that was a really hard thing for me to accept. It was so unbelievably surreal. Um, you know, you go, you hear people talk all the time about, um, I just had a feeling that it was my mom calling me, or I guess had a feeling that this woman was pregnant, but you very rarely ever hear someone say, oh, your mother on the other side wanted me to let you know, she likes your new car. Nobody does that. So, um, you know, I ended up going to spirit circle, which, um, is, you know, I call my mediumship events, mediumship demonstrations. This one is the same thing. It's just called a spirit circle. Um, I ended up going and what I realized, I sat in the back and I watched the mediums in the front, same things and connect with people. And I was thinking the exact same things. I was thinking them, there was no person that been down in front of me. It wasn't like Hollywood. There was no, you know, it was all so unbelievably subtle. And so when I realized, oh my God, that's all they're doing. They're thinking the thoughts, telling the thoughts. This is how they're communicating with the other side. When I realized it was that subtle, it looked like I had this cinematic moment where my entire life flashed in front of me. And I put together all the times where I actually had meeting experiences and had no clue. I thought it was just me thinking, right? Yes, totally. And so, um, that was a huge moment for me. And that's also when I began my journey of understanding the difference between a psychic and a medium. So it's psychic uses, uh, the oper operate on intuition and usually a psychic reading is all about the person sitting in front of you. You know, you're going to be bringing up things about what they've had happened in their present and future, what you see for them when it comes to the medium side of things you were, you're kind of switching over and you're communicating, you know, purely on energy. It's an energy transfer between me and another entity. And that's the energy. It's just pure energy. I'm taking what they're showing me, whether it be clairvoyantly, canonically, you know, Prairie orderly. And I'm telling the other person sitting in front of me, what they're showing me and we make the connection. And I think it's important for anybody who's listening. Who's never had a mediumship reading to understand. I'm sure you would agree with us that we're just the messenger. You guys are the interpreter. They give us something. And it's so important for, for someone sitting in front of you to understand that they have to help you interpret what it is. The Spirit's trying to show you. I think a lot of people expect us to come to the table, knowing every single, teeny, tiny detail, you know? Cause we can get just a little bit of something. Why can't we get all of that?

Speaker 1:

It's almost like an inside joke, right? It's like, if you have a joke with somebody and it's just between the two of you and you're getting a message and you're relaying, then it's like, I don't know what that means, but I'm, I feel compelled to tell you, or this is what's coming across and it's going to relate to that person. And that's a confirmation or a validation that you've connected and that they are speaking or communicating with the person. And it's almost like telephone tag, right. Or that game when growing up, it's like, okay, I'm going to relate to you the best way that I can, or I know how, but it's up to you. Like you said, the other person to interpret it because we may not have all the information as to the why or the

Speaker 2:

Right. Yeah. 100% and you know, spirit might show me, you know, I use this all the time in classes that I teach spear might show me a lake. Well, what do you think of Nicole when UCLA? Yeah. So the first thing I think of is vacation, but the person sitting in front of me might think of fishing, right? So, you know, when we interpret this and we get these messages and we pass them along, you have to understand that you're going through a third party to get the information to this person. So, um, you know, things can kind of just like you said, the telephone techniques can kind of get messed up along the way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Your ego early on. When I was getting my Reiki certification, going through my mastership, my teacher at the time, it's like your eco steps out of the way. So you become a tool for God for, um, the energy. So you are taking the filter off of what you think that as a communicator or relaying the messages to people should be because, and then it's up to them to tune in and to see and validate on their end, what they think that that should be. And I think that's a beautiful way of saying it because we're not necessarily spiritual advisers gurus saying that this is definitely, you are the master of your own life. Right? And so these are just ways of, of helping to pass along. If you can't going to medium and, and, or psychic is usually when we're trying to get a message or connect to something that we haven't been able to and our core on another level. And so that hopefully then you've learned something then you might be able to do on your own. Right. I sometimes when I'm in grief or I'm in a particular emotional state, I reach out to my network of friends and you know, other intuitive, spiritual, kindred spirits. So to speak, just to say like, Hey, I can't find anything on my own because I'm way too close to this. And that's kind of how I think I would frame it.

Speaker 2:

Right. Yes. And I think it's important to, to mention. And I'm sure I actually think on one of your shows, I've heard you talk about this before, but it is so hard to read yourself and it's so hard to read those close to you. Lot of times my clients will try to add me on Facebook. I'm like, listen, I don't want to know anything about you because once I do my ego enters and I I'm totally clouded. And so, um, yeah, you're totally right.

Speaker 1:

I had a friend the other day, she texted me and I'm glad I'm I need to do this, but she's like, I was in meditating and I, um, was, you know, spirit said, would you pull a card for me? And it was interesting because about a week ago we were doing like a socially distance lunch. She'd come over. And she's like, and I felt like I needed to do a reading on her. And before he get gaming came out of my mouth, she was like, you know, you should probably do a reading on me. I'd love you to, and I was like, that's fine. I absolutely can. I was like, but today I'm not feeling it like energetically. I'm not there in that space. And I was like, but I do feel like we should be doing it in a couple of days. So she texted me. But the interesting thing about that is when we were talking, I said, I just want you to keep in mind that a lot of times when I do these cold readings or readings for people that I did nothing about it's because it's almost like this pure, this pure connection of there's no, I don't wanna say judgment, but I don't have any preconceived notions or know anything about them. So when I'm giving them that information, they're like if they get, make it floored, whereas with my friends, I'm like, I'm gonna give you what I, I, you know, I'm hearing you may or may not like the message, but don't kill the messenger, which is probably where that saying came from. Right. I also saw on your website, in your blog about angel readings and things. So on the mediumship side, when you are communicating with entities or spirits, um, who've passed over. That's one thing in one service that you offer. But tell me a little bit more about the angels, because I'm super connected with archangels, my guides, my angels, and everything. And I always get it as a popular topic or question that people have when they're listening. Um, just because I think we're just also fascinated about, especially now more so than a

Speaker 2:

Well, so, you know, the angel readings can go one of two ways. I'm really, really close with, um, you know, really connected with the archangels as well. And so, um, in the beginning I wasn't drawn to angels at all. I was like this, it was the opposite. You know, you think angels, you think Christianity, you think is this okay? You know, what's going on here, but you know, if you read the Bible, there's only a certain amount of angels. They don't keep getting. And when we pass over, we don't actually turn into an angel, right. The word angel means messenger. Right. So what better word to use when we're talking about, uh, entities on the other side then than angel reading. But I think it's important to understand, like I said before, there are only a certain amount of angels of heaven. When we pass over, we don't actually become an angel. Um, it's just kind of something that referred to our loved ones as, um, so angel readings can go one of two ways because I use angel tarot cards. They that's kind of the term that we use for angel readings, you know, simply because these angel tarot cards, but also, you know, it can be used, it's interchangeable. It can be used as getting a mediumship reading. And that's just kind of one of those terms. Once I realized that the word angel meant messenger, I kind of clung onto that. And I was like, oh my gosh, I love it. Perfect. So really there's no big difference between, you know, what I do. And what other psychics do, it's just using the term angel, you know, to kind of describe what it is,

Speaker 1:

Learning a lot more about angels. In another episode, I mentioned, um, when I was growing up, I, my mom thought I had an imaginary friend called Michael because I just referred to Michael, Michael, Michael. And, and when I got older and then I started learning about archangels and what they mean, I was like, that's who it was. It just resonated with me. And I was like, he's just been my soulmate, my soul guide this whole time. And so I just feel very strong connection. And I do think for at least that, and for anyone who, if this is the first time that you're listening to the show with angels, what I love about it is like they literally, they are at our Beck and call in the sense that they want to just jump in and help us with whatever. Right. But we need to give them permission to come in. So if you want healing or protection, or just in general, like creativity, like your creativity is kind of stunted and you need help. Like you can call an angels and somebody like Brittany, or even going online and getting books or angel cards. Like, I love that because it's something simple that you can do at your, in your own home, if you want to pull your own cards. And that way they love that kind of stuff. Because that way it opens up the door for them to be able to communicate with us and give us more messages. And as you mentioned, I also really love this then that imburse like, when you said that the psychic that you went to gave you, like you're going to get the triple numbers. That's another thing that the angels love to do is really communicate with us on repetitive numbers that are out there. And that's probably something you didn't realize like early on when you it's like your angels were like, okay, time's up? Like, you're ready now. Here's the numbers. You need to go into that. But yes, you offer like teachings and, you know, mediumship sessions and all of that. Like, what's the one that you love to do the most and how can people,

Speaker 2:

Oh my gosh, that's so hard because it's almost like what's your favorite kind of music? And there's so many different genres in the beginning. I was all about mediumship. Once I realized there was a medium, I couldn't get enough of it. And then I slowly migrated back to loving the psychic side of things and helping people figure out what they're doing. And I ended up going and doing a couple of courses that certified me as a life coach online and being able to incorporate the psychic side of things with the life coaching side of things has been really mind opening. But mind-bending really because you're able to add to intuition and unbiased. Person's intuition mixed with life coaching and Hey, you know, this is probably going to be your best outlet or say no to this. They asked to this, um, at the end of the day, I feel like it's just getting somebody's opinion. And that's what we do before we make decisions all the time. You know, should I buy this house? I'm gonna talk to my dad. I'm going to talk to my mom. I'm going to talk to a banker. I'm going to talk to my husband. You know, those types of things. I love that

Speaker 1:

I'm getting that you should be really branding yourself as a psychic life coach because so many life coaches have gone out there even now, right, again with the pandemic, because whether you're out of work or what have you, I've heard of people being successful with that, which is great. But I do feel like that there's something missing with that life coach aspect. And maybe that's exactly what it is. Is you being able to add that intuition,

Speaker 2:

Right? Yeah. So I describe it on my website as wife coaching with a twist because that's basically what it is. Um, but so I absolutely love that, but over the last year, I've come into teaching and I have to say out of everything, that's my absolute favorite because, you know, it's what I wasn't able to have. I now am able to give to my community, you know, every few months I teach a psychic class, I teach a mediumship class. I teach a manifestation class. I do extras on energy vampires. So really the whole, you know, we're able to kind of get to it all a Turo class. I have one of those coming up this month, next week, actually. So, um, being able to teach is probably been my absolute favorite class. Um, usually there's no more than 20 in my class. That's just the cap that my, my studio will hold, but, uh, Toro classes, roughly two hours, it's super fun. You know, um, I have them bring their own beverage if they want to bring wine, whatever. And the whole point of that class is not only to teach them the ABCs of Truro, but to also have them leave with a sense of confidence and how I do that is we do several readings after we go to the ABC's of how know works. I have them read each other over and over and over again. Um, and it's the same thing with the psychic science class. When we, you know, we take a step further and usually that's about four to five hours. It's an all day workshop, but it's so beautiful Nicole to watch these people and the light bulb go off in their head when they realize holy smokes, I got that. I nailed that person to a T because what I do is I bring in a person that nobody in this class has ever seen in their life. And I sit them at the front of the class and I have every one of my students pick up what they can from that energy. And this is in the psychic science class, but pick up what they can from that person sitting in front of you in front of them. And it's been that class, but a lot of my who are there for second science realize their medium because they're picking up on their loved one that's on the other side. Um, so it's, it's just, it's so much fun. I really love it

Speaker 1:

Too. Can't attend like in person, what are your online offerings? And of course I'll include your website and some of the other information in the show notes, but are you do offer other things that can be done?

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So I'm actually getting ready. I'm collaborating with a couple of other people, um, and getting ready to put together some online courses that you can just purchase. And I'll have, I'll have all that up on my website and my Facebook page once that, uh, comes to fruition, kind of, uh, uh, work, uh, you know, labor level. It takes a while to get all that together. But yeah, so soon that's going to be an option. Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Everything that we've discussed, you know, up until now, is there anything that you feel compelled to share with the listeners or any information that you're getting that, um, you just want to make sure that we don't miss?

Speaker 2:

I think it's super important that people who, who are struggling with visibility, that they block out, the fact that they, they feel fear and just go based on raw intuition. And if their intuition, if their gut is telling them, Hey, I need to reach out to this person or, Hey, I need to reach out to that person to do it. Even at the risk of looking like a crazy person, because that was one of the first ways that I realized that the psychic is I took the plunge and I, I messaged a friend of mine and I said, Hey, listen, I feel like I need to tell you this and this and this. And she said, oh my God, that makes so much sense. You know, it ended up correlating with everything that was going on in her life. And it was something that she was reaching out and crying about. It was something that she needed confirmation on. So take that step and, um, you know, get out of your comfort zone and slowly build up your confidence. Confidence is key in this industry, whether you're going to do it as a, you know, professional as a job, or you're just going to do it on the side as a Lightworker to help society, to help civilizations, um, building your confidence is key. And the only way you're going to do that is by getting out of your box. So I encourage anybody listening who feels like they have a strong, intuitive bone to, um, to exercise it and work it and, um, you know, get out there. What's the best advice to give somebody who thinks they have this ability. And my advice is read, read, read, because the more readings that you do, and I think you would agree with me the better you get. Yeah. And

Speaker 1:

It just validates it, like you said, it builds up the confidence, which I think is great. And nowadays, I mean, we've always needed light workers and prayer and good energy being sent out there, but nowadays more than ever, we need it. So again, I feel like this is just the perfect time that if you're questioning it and you're on the fence, then take Brittany's advice on, you know, do some readings on your own, even if they're cold. Um, you know, with people's permissions, of course, but then also, you know, looking up, uh, resources and other things online and just play around with it. Cause it can be fun too. It doesn't have to be a scary thing whatsoever. So

Speaker 2:

Yeah. And I think it's to note too, um, I, I'm not encouraging you to like walk into Walmart and just start reading random people. I think you need to know that that who you're giving this information to, they are open and they are understanding and they're able to, and willing to accept it. Some people aren't ready to hear anything, whether it's a psychic or mediumistic and you have to respect boundaries. Um, the last thing I want to do is send people out there to just randomly read people on the street, but it's a minus touch. There's, there's a, you know, and another thing to remember, and I'm sure you would agree. I am still every single day taken aback by our ability every single day I wake up and I'm like, whoa. And every reading I do, I tell myself it's an experiment. And I tell my clients, it's an experiment. So, you know, give yourself the, the ability and the permission to be wrong when you enter this field, if you do that, you will be just fine. There's

Speaker 1:

No place for ego in it. And like, and I love the way you said it is to be wrong or to make a mistake because if you second, guess it, or you're trying to make it fit in that box. That's where you'll kind of fail because you'll be disappointed. But when you're opening yourself up to the possibility that literally anything is possible and that it can be this beautiful thing and this gift to share, whether it's just with yourself or your close friends and family or others out there in the world, it can be a beautiful thing.
