Hey, it's Karen.

Here's a little soundbite from today's show, but I just want to say.

Corby is super funny.

And you'll learn a lot on the show about psychic mediums and

the whole process and her history.

So have a listen to the whole show.

But for now, listen to this.

Yeah, I do the examined life.

This is happening to me and I hate it, but I have to go through it.

Right?

First question is, what can I learn from it?

Second one for me specifically is how can I teach with it and the ER is next?

Hmm.

Along with your life.

No, don't stay stuck in the old story.

Hello and welcome to the Connectedness Podcast.

Just as you might have guessed, I talk about connection and connectedness

on this podcast, our connection with everything in the world around us.

Whether you see it or not, we're all connected, and it doesn't matter if it's

our dog, our cat, our God, our body.

And I'll also talk about some more.

Abstract connections like our career or our land, our community, our emotions,

your body life is all about connection.

So the sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can have an

easier, more meaningful life.

I will talk about these connections through different lenses.

Things like synchronicities and coincidences are just.

Everyday little bits of magic and miracles that we, we usually dismiss.

It's really important that we pay attention to all of this so we can

live an easier, more meaningful life.

So welcome to the show.

I'm your host, Karen Cleveland.

So fantastic to read that.

Welcome to the show, Corby.

It's great to be here, Karen.

All right, thank you.

So before we dive into some spec specific questions and about your books

a little bit later, why don't you tell me how you got on this path, or tell my

listeners what led you into this realm?

That's the 32nd elevator speech when I was nine.

I read a book called The Witch Family by Eleanor Estes and I thought,

Ooh, there's magic in the world.

I wanna go find it.

Fast forward to 1973 when I was a senior in high school.

That's the year Live and Let Die came out and I went to Spencer Getz and bought

the James Bond oh oh seven Terradeck.

Cause we were all hippies.

You had your elephant bell bottoms, your, you know David Crosby fridge jacket, and.

Five years later, everyone else had moved on to roller skates and disco balls.

I was still reading the cards.

I found them fascinating.

So for 20 years, read for friends, making sure that I was a clear

messenger, kept my ego on the shelf.

All of a sudden in the early nineties, I could do hands-on healing and talked

to dead people with no training.

That's when the universe handed me my draft notice and said,

hello, you're working for us.

So I did it part.

Meanwhile with a very checkered career actress, author, inspirational speaker,

video producer, legal assistant writer for the graphic novel series,

elf Quests, executive Recruiter.

But nine 11, as we watched the towers burn.

Mm.

I looked at my husband and I said, I need to do the work full-time.

People need to know their other answers out there.

He said, I believe in you.

Go do it.

Since then, six days a week, 14 hours a day.

I read about a thousand people a year and I.

To get up in the morning.

I don't have to get up in the morning.

That's key.

Wow.

That's fantastic.

So you have been doing it for a very long time, since Moses was in diapers.

Yes.

So you, um, and it was all self-taught.

You haven't had a mentor through the process?

Uh, for a very short time.

I had someone who did mediumship, but my style is extremely different from hers.

So I'd say, yeah, this is.

School of hard knocks and digging deep.

Do you mind explaining a little bit what your style is?

Not at all.

It's nothing I invented.

It's what my guides wanna do.

Yeah.

I don't just fish cuz it's too easy to fool you.

I see a woman in a flower dress handing the rose it's grandma.

Oh please.

So I get their dog tags.

For instance, my father Jerome Richard Gorkin, who died in 2001 at

the age of 80 notice that tells me nothing but gets me right into the.

And then I let my guides place charades.

Mm-hmm.

This meant they smoked.

This meant there was an accident.

This meant there could be surgery.

And it's always like that.

That way we can get things absolutely pinpoint for my clients and as

soon as they say, yep, that's Aunt Rose, I open the door and

they can talk to them directly.

I remind them that I'm not dial a dead.

If Aunt Rose is on a field trip, she won't be by the phone.

Wow.

Okay, so you, um, you dial right in and you say they talk to them directly,

so they're talking through you.

Yes.

Um, the story that I often tell, and I'll tell the clean version about why

I will not do mediumship in a gallery.

This was an upstate New York many years ago.

There was a biracial, same gender couple.

The black partner had died in her white widow, wanted to speak to her.

See this face, cherry Hill, New Jersey, 1960s.

I grew up with manners, but what came floating out of my mouth in

flawless urban Ebonics is language that should not come out of this face.

And I went, but the woman in front of me was laughing and nodding because

those two sentences were how her partner Isabel greeted her walking into

the house after every business trip.

Oh, so I don't cen.

Uh huh But it's why I will not do it in public because to me,

mediumship, when it's a conversation, a healing thing is intensely private.

I'll do past life galleries cuz I can pull past lives down like that.

But no, mediumship is a gift and a private thing.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, absolutely.

So , you mentioned those two sentences that came outta your mouth.

Have you been surprised at other times by what comes outta

your mouth or what you find?

Well, I haven't been appalled.

I was appalled on that one.

But, , you know you're channeling correctly when you hear what

you said later and you go, that couldn't have come out at this face.

Perfect example is I was channeling a woman's higher self, her soul for her

doing the work for Robert Schwartz on a chapter about abortion and miscarriage.

Mm.

And when the book came out, I called Rob, I said, Rob, I could not have.

He said, do you wanna listen to the recording?

And I go, oh, wow.

No, because what the channeled by herself was telling her was the

exact opposite that I believe and feel about abortion miscarriage.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

All right.

So that tells me that it was her people speaking and I wasn't getting in the way.

Okay.

So I just made a connection in my head.

So if I'm having you do some kind of a reading for me that's not, um, you

know, not one of my dead relatives, you're connecting with my higher self.

Is that right?

I, uh, that is one thing I could, yes, I do your spirit guides and your angels.

I, I kid and I say people come to me for four things.

The everyday tour, bus house, card job, kids, finances.

Okay.

Gotcha.

Put me here.

What the hell?

Who was I in?

1642 Belgium.

I wanna know past lives.

I wanna speak to my speak, uh, spirit guide Bank here.

How's dead on Mabel?

Um, oh, okay.

And yes, I am f I've done standup comedy about You think a psychics life is easy.

There is nothing that takes away from the psychic work in terms of humor.

Sometimes it gets people to lower their shields and they'll listen better.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But yes, I can talk to their higher self if the higher self decides to come.

I see.

Okay.

That is a much tougher channeling than someone who's passed over.

Oh, really?

Oh, interesting.

It's one of the reasons when I do soul plan readings, which take

me about 12 hours of deep trans work on a Tuesday, which includes

talking to my client's higher self.

I'm a crispy critter on Wednesday, and that's my day off.

Well, that's fascinating.

I'm always very interested.

You know, this connection and how people do it because , all psychic

mediums are not the same, right?

You have different styles or mm-hmm.

And you like doctors.

Yeah.

You don't expect a pulmonologist who's a lung specialist to

check the rash on your arm.

That's a dermatologist.

And, and you know, it's important when kids are just coming into the.

To tell them, you do not have to be perfect at everything.

Mm-hmm.

When you accept your draft notice from the universe, it goes rifling in your internal

file cabinet to see what you got Me.

Theater major at Brand University acted in New York, so I understand character

arts words are my jug of choice.

I'm a writer.

I can tell the stories and I have adored history since I was

a we thing in single digits.

You put all that together.

What are my master.

Tara and Oracle cards for storytelling and past life retrieval.

But don't ask me to do spirit art cuz I can't draw a picture

of a stick figure with a sharp pencil and a little out of prayer.

It's just not in there.

Do you, do you receive information in pictures though?

Or is it words Oh, I see it like a movie.

Okay.

I see it like when I do past lives, I see it exactly like a movie, Uhhuh.

Yeah, if only you could project that movie outward without, because you would then

have to like translate it or, um, but I.

I can't.

And see that's where the, the love of history comes in.

There are other people who are very good at getting past lives.

You know, I'm not saying I'm the only one, right.

But if you show the two of us the exact same vision, they don't have

the historical background I do.

They'll say, well, it's a long skirt.

And a picture had, it's in front of something very ornate.

I guess it's Europe.

I'd be able to go, that's a horrible skirt, picture hat,

that kind of ostrich feather.

She's standing in front of the Brandenburg gate.

So this is Berlin in 1911 or 1912.

Yeah, that, that's helpful.

That's probably integral in that process.

Yes.

So if I were to have a past life retrieval reading, how long is that?

Like, you know, hour, two hours?

Depends on what, no, no, no, no, no.

Not at all.

Um, Remember, you are not doing the work.

Okay.

When I do the retrieval.

Okay.

But I don't, you don't just sit in front of me and say, tell me some past lives.

I'm not an amusement park.

You have an obsession, A phobia.

Oh, okay.

A, a place or a person example.

Uh, a psychic fair woman came to me and said, my son's 29.

He still won't make any decision.

Without my input, he won't live more than a mile away from me.

What's going on?

Yeah.

So I took a minute to go upstairs and I said, okay, I'm seeing Utah Beach in 1944.

So this is D-Day.

Your son is a soldier on the beach with a lot of shrapnel damage in one leg.

You're his commanding officer.

You crawl over the dune, you grab him, you pull him into safety, you take

some shrapnel too, but you both live.

And I opened my eyes and she says, can you see my rank?

I go, yeah, you were sergeant.

He's called me Sarge since he was three years old and we've never known why.

Oh my gosh.

That's when past lines do not come to me and say, I must have been Abilene,

cuz I can't word turtleneck cuz I'll march you right back out the door.

Wow.

And do you find that people have the same uh, uh, how do I say

this or do you call them souls?

So like those people, they have the same relationships, not the same relationships,

but they have relationships.

They hang out with the same peeps.

Yes.

Yeah.

For in.

Um, my father was my best friend.

In fact, we shared a birthday this lifetime most lives.

He comes in same generation as my best friend, but when we were doing

our pre-birth planning, my people and his people, I knew I would need

a best friend for a father because of the other things I was planning.

And that soul agreed with my soul.

Yes.

We'll play those roles.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

You mentioned earlier, when new kids are coming into the biz, do you do teaching

or mentoring or anything like that?

I try to, but I don't, it's not like a yearlong program.

Um, one of the things that I always did when I was on the road is I would find.

The rookies were at a psychic fair and Expo.

I'd introduce myself, I'd bring them to my table, I'd let them ask questions.

I'd give them copies of all the paperwork I did, the rack cards, the business stuff.

Nice.

The only thing I ever said was, you can't use the words but the designs.

Sure.

Get your ideas.

I see.

And that's why I wrote the book.

You've got The Magic Who Needs Genie?

Why should they re.

I mean 18 years, 45 weekends a year on the road.

My nickname was the Travel Channel.

I did all this already here, learn from this, and there are a certain section

there in there called Corby gets candid that are things that you wouldn't think

about unless you've experienced them.

One of them is I have a signup sheet, even though it's just like name, birthday.

I make sure that the person that I'm reading writes it themselves

unless they are handicapped.

The reason is, many years ago, I did a reading in London, Ontario

for a young man, 19, 20, 21.

He wasn't happy with it.

The next day I found an anonymous death threat on my table, but we

were able to match up the hand.

With the signing sheet, I handed it over to the police and they took care of it.

Oh.

Just because we believe that this business is wonderful in healing doesn't mean

that the rest of the universe sees it all as roses, glitter and unicorn farts.

I'm sorry.

They don't.

Yeah.

This is a business.

There is competition.

Uh, there is difficulty sometimes with clients and you have to go into it

realizing this is part of the world.

You're going to.

Yeah.

This is how to stay safe.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good plan.

What if someone is out there who thinks they have some kind of a gift, but they

don't really know, so they're not already as far as doing readings for people, but

they think they're getting information?

Well, uh, there are lots and lots of books that I recommend.

Uh, one of them.

Do I even have it here or did I put it?

Nope, put it away.

Uh, opening to channel by Sinnia Roman and Duane Packer is how I learned.

Um, I also do, uh, readings that I call the rookie sessions.

If you know you wanna do this work, you're not sure, and you're

kind of paddling around the kitty.

You do an hour with me, we discuss what's your background, what do you love, what

are you drawn to, what are you afraid of?

And we get you at the starting block with some direction.

Mm-hmm.

As far as teaching goes, one of my favorite courses is called Deca Dance.

I can teach anybody, anybody how to read a non taro deck immediately

upon picking it up within three.

The reason I don't do tarot is cuz tarot has so many rules and regs

and traditions, that's a separate thing and people get nervous.

Mm.

But an oracle deck that they can do.

Yeah.

And for people who want to learn with me on a regular basis, I have

a Patreon group and it's, you know, not thousands of different tiers.

It's one or two.

We meet once, sometimes twice a month.

I teach, I bring in really fabulous teachers that I know and it.

When you have a group, my nestlings is what I call them, then you

also build support for each other.

Right?

Perfect example, right?

One woman just found out her five-year-old was neurodivergent

on the, uh, autism scale.

One of the other people, her son has just started college and she's

already done that route for 18 years.

They bonded their working together.

How did they meet?

Both of them wanted to learn from me.

Yeah, so you never know what kind of gift is gonna.

Yeah.

That, that support is really important.

I, I'm, so, I'm actually, um, an animal communicator.

I'm not, I don't practice a lot right now.

Mm-hmm.

And being in commu community with other animal communicators

is really important when Yes.

You know, you need to talk about it do you think you have

fundamentally changed from when you started to where you are now?

I mean, it's, I know it's been a long process, so I'm sure things

are different, but fundamentals.

Look at the face, Karen.

Well, you have to.

You have to, because.

Unless you are willing to grow and change, throw away things that

block you in order to be the best channel for light and information,

you'll just be a one trick poem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I mean, in my life I've gone through three bouts of breast cancer, two

divorces, poverty, abuse, rape, you.

But I don't say poor me, and I don't stay stuck in that story.

Yeah, I do the examined life.

This is happening to me and I hate it, but I have to go through it.

Right?

First question is, what can I learn from it?

Second one for me specifically is how can I teach with it and the ER is next?

Hmm.

Along with your life.

No, don't stay stuck in the old story.

So yes, I've had to.

I, I like that.

I like that you include the, how can I teach from it?

Because a lot of people, I mean, I guess not everyone's a teacher,

but for those that are, that's an important part, I suppose.

And next, yes.

Next.

Yes.

So let's talk a little bit about your book, the Psychic Yellow Brick Road.

Um, okay.

How to Find The Real Wizards and Avoid The Flying.

And Avoid The Flying Monkeys right here.

Uhhuh.

Nice.

Um, so yeah, tell me about this book, this.

Was birthed in Canada.

Um, it was a 250 person psychic fair.

And no matter how good the promoters are, they can't vet

everybody when it's that big.

Right.

And there was one of the fake gypsies up there, you know, the jingling jewelry

and the head scarf and the bad accent.

And there you're so, uh, one of the attendees was walking down the aisle

just kind of investigating all of us.

I was right across from the gypsy.

She runs out, grabs this woman's.

This is called hooking and it's as bad as the other kind of hooking.

Yeah.

And she goes, you no need to pay 30, 40, $50.

I do.

Jump on for 10, come drives the woman behind the screen.

20 minutes later, we see that client leaving crying hysterically

and a bunch of us run over.

What happened?

Oh, gypsy had said, oh, you have a family curse.

How many in your family?

Four.

You have dog?

$50.

Every family member, 25 for dokey.

Small.

We fixed and convinced the woman if she didn't burn 400, specially blessed

candles in the Roman Catholic Church.

I bless real good.

Only $1 candle.

Her entire family was gonna die in a car accident in two weeks and she bought it.

Oh my gosh.

That's why this book is.

For people who really wanna learn psychic work, there are 6,000 books out there.

Yeah.

This book, the example I use is You love sculpture.

So you go to an art museum and you admire all the sculpture and

you really love learning about it.

But you don't wanna come home with a chisel and a block of

marble and dig at a camel, right?

That's what this is for.

You learn what we can do, what we can't, how to find a good one, what questions to

ask, which ones aren't going to help you.

How we.

When to run and the last chapter?

Yeah.

It's about grounding, centering, and shielding cuz that's just basic bootcamp.

But I don't care if you never come to me after reading this book.

That's not its purpose.

Mm-hmm.

Its purpose is to keep you safe because if you are comfortable

with whatever intuitive counseling you go to, all boats rise.

That simple.

Yeah.

And are there other books like this or why hasn't this been written?

I haven't seen one.

Most of the time if there are books like that, they're saying, and by the

way, I am the only one you should go to.

I am so brilliant, right?

My or I don't stink.

Right.

And I deliberately did not do that because that's ego, which is I

think one of the most dangerous things when you're an intuitive.

When it's all about your ego, you are not totally committed to your client at all.

Yeah.

If I had been in ego, do you think I would've said what I said during

that crazy mediumship thing?

No, I would've censored myself.

Yeah.

Which would've taken away the thing that was so obviously her, Isabel.

Right?

Right.

If I say psychic or I say medium or psychic medium, is

there a difference in those?

Yeah.

Okay.

Remember Venn diagrams when we were in schooled to Louis?

All right.

Yes.

Psychic mediums are right in the middle.

All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums.

Again, doctor thing, okay?

All pediatricians are doctors, but not all doctors are pediatricians.

Okay?

So psychic means we get information other than our five.

Okay.

Mediums talk to dead people.

Okay.

Channels talk to other upstairs things, not dead people.

Oh, okay.

Which is why I say I'm a psychic medium.

Anna channel.

Upstairs things, upstairs, thingss, you know, it, it, I don't talk around.

Do you talk to the decision?

Do you talk to the other side?

Yeah, I talk to dead people.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

Um, and to be perfectly honest, the fact that I.

Not steeped in glitter and wiki.

Woo means my clients trust me because I'm clearly not trying

to put anything over on them.

I'm more like sitting with a friend and they listen.

Right, right.

And that's the important thing.

And I don't fortune tell, I show 'em what their options are and it's their decision.

Yeah, I wanna get back to the book in a minute, but mm-hmm.

Do you do readings remotely?

Do you do them in person still?

You think?

My clients and Rio Aire wanna come to Copel skill.

She Count do look that that was what the universe designed for me.

Uhhuh.

I hated getting off the road.

I'd loved being a Hilton Diamond.

It was great fun.

Okay.

But the summer of 2019, I got a herniated disc and a pinched nerve, which makes

having triplets feel like a tea party.

And the doctors then said, your career is toast.

You can't be in the car that long anymore.

You can't do the load in.

And the universe was saying, we've been telling you this.

Oh, so I scrambled to get my business online within four months

and what happened in March, 2020?

Perfect.

But the advent of the years of murder, Hornet bingo and hold my beer.

All of my friends that only did on the circuit, their business

tank mine's never been better.

And I love working at home with a cat snoozing on the cat.

And I have clients all over the world.

Yeah.

This is brilliant and perfect.

I just needed a klu klu brick.

Yeah.

From the universe to get it done.

Yeah.

It just, uh, it happened at the right time, didn't it?

Sure.

There's, there's no, no accidents, no.

And for people who say, how can you read me?

You're not in person.

I'd go, if I could only read you in person, how do you know I'm

not reading your body language?

Right.

Oh, yeah.

So, you know.

Yeah.

Has there been a re reaction from other, psychics or psychic mediums

about the book that you put out?

They laugh.

Okay.

And they say, oh my God, I wish I had this when I was starting.

Because there's a chapter in there that we all find hilarious.

And it's called When Getting a Reading Won't Help.

And we've all had this thing happen to us.

Does Bruce think about me?

Has he ever thought about me the way you want?

If I do such and such fully, think about me.

No.

Will.

Is he gonna call soon?

He isn't.

Well, if he isn't gonna call soon, will he call later and

notice they are beating on you?

Yeah.

Until they figure they've got you to say fall.

Yes.

He loves you and he wants seven babies with you, but he doesn't know it yet.

Oh good.

I thought so.

Right.

Um, and you know, and there are things that are inappropriate pe I mean, I've

had someone come up to me at a psych hearing and go, all right, tell me

something you couldn't know about me.

If you're right, I'll have a reading, yeah, smile.

And I say, I'm sorry I don't roll over in fetch either.

And I turn my back and I don't give him a reading.

And why you need a front person taking 15 minutes to grab a sandwich down?

A guy leans over my table, pokes at my sandwich and says, you

don't need to eat right now.

My wife needs a reading.

Oh, my front person slid in front.

And of course he was not.

Very often we are treated like a burger, a latte, or a carwash.

Huh.

And you can't get offended by that.

You just protect yourself.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what about the people that come to you and say, you know,

tell me something about me.

Right?

So they've sat down, they're may, maybe you even still take 'em online.

I don't know, I don't know how your, your vetting process works now, but do

you get some, well, when you make a.

An appointment with me, there's an intake form to fill out.

Okay, so that I have the information to do your numerology.

And I say, what are your goals for this session?

Oh, okay.

If you sit down with me at a psychic fair, I'll say, okay, what's the most important

thing you wanna get out of here knowing?

And if you go blank on me, I'll go Brooklyn on you and say, but

darling, what's biting your butt?

Cuz everyone's got one.

And the reason I do that is I'm fast, but.

What you really wanna know is about how to deal with your youngest child.

And I've covered everything else in the half an hour, but that,

oh, you're gonna leave them.

Ah, she was lousy.

She didn't tell me anything.

Right, right.

So it's mu, you know, and I don't count that.

If someone says, no, I just want you to tell me something, I hand

them their money back and say, I'm sorry, that's not how I work.

And I send them off.

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

So how does someone know what a fair, affair.

Payment is to give to a psychic or, and if they do want their money

back, you know, what do you do?

I've got a couple of chapters called Pay Fair to play.

Fair about that.

Okay.

And psychics can run thousands of dollars to 10 bucks in

Jackson Square, new Orleans.

Mm-hmm.

Look at our, how long we've been reading, look at our qualifications.

Are we paper trained?

Do we have certificates?

Things like that.

You will find someone in your, in your price point, reading for

half a Century certified Tara Master in books, radio, television.

Yeah.

I'm more expensive than Jackson Square in New Orleans, but I price my work so that

it is not out of reach of most people now.

Mm-hmm.

When to get your money back.

This is important if you're sitting with a psycho who.

Of your four children, it's your youngest who's gonna take care of

you in your old age, and you're post-menopausal and childless.

They are not connecting.

You have a right to say, excuse me, Madam Hoja, but everything you're

saying is factually incorrect.

We're not connecting.

I'd like my money back, please.

Yeah.

And if they're good, they'll give it to you.

Yeah.

We have a right not to read for you.

If you sat down and said, I wanna know where my husband is sleeping

with his mistress, that's remote spying, and I wouldn't do it.

Oh, okay.

So, yeah, but we do deserve to get paid things that we hear

all the time about payment.

Well, you're not doing anything right now.

Why don't you read me for half price?

Can me and my girlfriend come in and we just pay for one reading?

Um, I really wanna reading, but I don't have the money.

And they stare at you.

Do a free reading for me, and if you're good, I'll tell all my

friends and they'll come tomorrow.

Right.

Well, what do you mean you won't read me for free?

You're not very spiritual right now.

You take all of that and you put it in normal things to the hairdresser.

You're not doing anything right now.

Cut me for less.

Yeah.

Uh, to the plumber, can you fix my sink and put in a dishwasher for

the same price, uh, to a restaurant?

Cater Mike.

Party for 20, and if you're good, everyone will come.

And my favorite, oh, you're a doctor and you won't hear me for free.

You just want me to get sick and die, don't you?

Yeah.

And people look at me when I use those examples and say, are you crazy?

I said, same thing.

Yeah.

Professional is a professional.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, it's still your time and energy.

So, and rookies have to charge, right?

Don't be afraid of charging.

This is your life, your business, your, your concentration.

You're allowed to charge.

Yes.

Doesn't make you less spiritual.

It's really hard that society is like, you know, it's spiritual.

Mm-hmm.

So you can't, you can't charge for that.

So is it intentional?

Does it come on and off?

Are you walking down the street and all of a sudden you get a

message from someone's mother?

Nope.

I have an agreement with my guides.

My sign is either open or closed.

Oh, okay.

If you sit down with me and there's an energy exchange of.

Where there's a barter, you bring me or it's pro bono and I've

chosen to do this, we're great.

But what you talk about is a big danger of drive by psychic shootings.

Um, and the perfect example is the Long Island medium.

Yeah.

You know, they have a picture.

Yeah.

Somebody's in Wegman's feeling up the cantaloupe and she

goes, you're Aunt Doris.

She says, you have a bald tire in the back and you're gonna die in

a week if you don't get it fixed.

Right.

Just telling you walks away.

That is so false.

That is so false.

Number one, all of her PR people go out and look at all the Wegmans

online, island island and choose one.

Then they interview a lot of people and have them sign model releases, and

then it's rehearsed, you know, six.

But when rookies see that and think that's how it's supposed to go, it's not.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, if, if someone comes up to you that you don't know from Adam's House Cat

and says, I have a message to from Spirit for you, and you don't wanna hear it, you

just say, no, I do not want this message.

And if they push, you get the store manager and you

get them out for harassment.

Yeah.

But the thing is, this happens at Psychic Affairs.

Especially with new healers.

Mm.

I'm at my desk for 11 hours and you know, the end of the day, yeah.

I have a neck egg and little dancing raccoon comes up to me and says,

I know Sam Reiki let me help.

No thank you.

No, really I can, I prefer not just let me get outta my face.

Right.

You're not very love and light, are you?

Well, you didn't listen right.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I'm from New York, honey, don't, don't expect lonely pops from me.

Yeah.

It's boom.

Yeah.

So, but that's a.

Because when people do that, that's when people are scared of us.

And these days what they're scared of, they attack.

Mm-hmm.

That's true.

That's true.

So if someone were to buy your book and open it up, anything you want them

to know about it before they open it?

Yes.

I'm not God and I'm not infallible.

Take what is.

If you find yourself laughing, that does not offend me.

Humor is wonderful and no, you don't have to have a reading with me.

When you're done though, of course you're welcome.

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Anything that you wish the other people in the industry would stop or start doing?

We are all in this together.

My drawings, there are 8 billion people in the world and we can't read them all.

Yeah, there is room for all of us and we need the look.

I'm 68, I'll be dead in 30 years.

I need to raise the next generation up because when I'm gone, yeah, I'll probably

just change my sign and be a spirit guide, but I won't be reading down here.

So let's raise the next generation.

Do the right work, keep their ego out of the way, but value

themselves who they are.

Mm-hmm.

That's the best thing we can do.

So, so you said, uh, I just have to ask now, what about fortune

telling or future telling is that, um, what do you feel about that?

Well, that takes away free will and that sets you up, oh, I know you want

to start a business, but there's a blockage, $600 candle you want to buy now.

So for.

This is where our life experience comes in.

I was an executive recruiter for years.

I helped people get six figure jobs.

Yeah.

So if you came to me and said, I'd really like to open up a new

crystal shop, I would not flip a couple of cards and go wait until

August and fire the second redhead.

What the hell, Tara?

A card for you.

A card for a partner in the business.

A card for the energy around it.

Brick and mortar.

Location.

Clients, competition, marketing, staff, finances, what you need

to know and best possible.

Wow.

That gives you all of the energy and helps empower you.

Now what about the, does Bruce Love me?

You Bruce, the relationship, what I see in best possible income, uh, outcome.

If you say I still don't know what to do, the three threes, three cards for

status quo, if you just bumble along three cards for the Come to Jesus meeting in

its serious canceling, and three cards for hospital abide by, it's been nice.

I'm leaving.

I don't care if the leaving thing has the Beetlejuice sign, I have to

zip it because they've been given three options and they must decide.

The only exception is if they tell me they've been hit gas lit,

battered, or they're afraid, then the turbine comes off and the pastoral

collar comes on and I help them figure out how to lead Uhhuh Uhhuh.

But other than that, it's free will.

Yeah.

I can remember actually when I, I knew I needed to leave.

My husband and I went to Palm readers and Roone readers and I, you

know, I knew what the answer was.

I just didn't wanna do it.

So yeah, there was fear.

Now sometimes there are things that we see that they don't like to hear.

Yeah.

Um, there was a woman in Kitchener and I saw.

She was probably going to take a border in and she might wanna

sell her house after that.

And she looks at me and she says, you suck.

And she gets up and walks away.

Well, okay, fine.

Who was the next person?

First person in my chair the next time I'm up there.

And she goes, last time I said, you sucked.

I said, yes.

I remember.

Yeah, because you told me I was gonna take in a border and then I was gonna

wanna sell my house, and I thought that was all full, but my daughter got

pregnant and moved home, and now I'm gonna sell my house to raise my grandson.

And I still don't like you, but I wanna know what else you see.

You know?

Yeah, right.

Exactly.

Exactly.

All right, and and one last thing then.

I mean, this has been a pleasure, but is there, is there something you want

everyone to know, either about being a psychic medium or just in life?

What would you like everyone to know in to know?

Yep.

There are three important questions to ask yourself.

All right.

And if you learn how to use this, you may not need us as often as you think.

First question is, what am I ex.

X is depressed, angry, scared, worried, whatever.

Why am I ex about that?

Mm-hmm.

And the question we never ask ourselves, what do I think would happen

if I stopped being ex about that?

Hmm.

You can change your beliefs in a moment.

You don't need us to tell you what the stars are saying.

You're in charge of your own life.

Wow.

Yeah, that's right.

Power.

Powerful.
