Have you ever caught your child waving at nothing or having detailed conversations with empty space? You're not alone. The spiritual capabilities of children extend far beyond what many of us realize, and how we respond to these experiences can profoundly shape their relationship with their intuition for life.
As a professional metaphysical practitioner who ironically missed the signs with my own children, I share the raw truth about raising intuitive kids in a skeptical world. My journey began with my son seeing "shadow people" at age five and my daughter communicating with spirits through her stuffed animals—experiences I initially dismissed despite my professional background. This episode unpacks what happens when we fail to validate our children's spiritual experiences and the lifelong wounds that can result.
Through candid stories (including my daughter's ghost friend who walks her to school but isn't allowed on our property!), I explore the delicate balance between rational parenting and spiritual support. The most powerful insight? Your belief in every detail matters less than creating a foundation of trust where your child feels safe sharing their experiences. This approach extends far beyond spiritual matters, establishing a relationship where they'll trust you with everything from schoolyard crushes to life's biggest challenges.
This conversation offers practical guidance for parents navigating uncharted spiritual territory with their children, while highlighting how these young souls can reconnect us adults with the magic and wonder we've lost along the way. By supporting our intuitive children, we're not just nurturing their gifts—we're healing generational patterns and allowing them to flourish as their authentic selves in this lifetime.
Ready to embrace the magic your intuitive child sees every day? Listen now and discover how to create a spiritual sanctuary where both you and your child can thrive.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back to empower your soul.
Today I wanted to talk aboutintuitive kids.
This is a topic that's come upquite a bit in many of my client
sessions lately and I thoughtit'd be a great opportunity to
talk about this.
I don't really have a script togo off of for this episode, so
bear with me, but I just feelcalled to talk about what's
(00:21):
going on with the state of kids.
What can you do as a parent ofintuitive kids to support them,
and also what do they do toteach you?
So let's get going.
As you know, I am a mom of twovery intuitive kids.
I have a nine-year-old son whowas seeing spirit, which is why
(00:42):
I'm here today as as an eightyear old, actually technically
as a five year old child, butthen I ignored it for three
years, to be very clear andhonest with all of you and I
also have a daughter who canhear spirit through her stuffed
animals, and it's been a veryinteresting ride, to say the
least.
As someone who did not grow upin this metaphysical space at
(01:04):
all, my background, as you allknow, was strictly religion.
Right, I grew up in theCatholic church.
I was an altar girl and I grewup believing in the structure,
the sanctity of church and goingevery single Sunday.
Was it boring?
Yes, it was horribly boring,but I'm so glad that, as a
(01:26):
recovering Catholic, now I havea new perspective and outlook on
life.
But I'll tell you, I'm a littlebit unequipped to handle these
children, and so for those ofyou that grew up seeing hearing
connected to spirit and having aparent that doesn't know what
you're going through, I'm justgoing to raise my hand and admit
(01:47):
that is completely me.
I don't know what to do withthis stuff.
And isn't that interesting, asa metaphysical practitioner who
does this work for a living,that I don't know where to toe
the line with my own dang kids,kids.
So let's break through that.
(02:09):
Let's really break through andexamine this, because, as a mom,
at first I didn't trust my kids.
I didn't trust that what theywere seeing was spirit.
We are all raised in thisemotional state that if we can't
see it, if we can't hear it,it's not true.
I know that you don't believethis because you're listening to
(02:30):
me right now, but it's very,very hard for a lot of people to
admit that their child hasthese additional gifts,
frequencies, abilities I don'tknow what the right word is here
that allow them to connect tospirit at such a young age.
(02:51):
And we act like it's not normal.
And what is so interesting isit is the epitome of normal and
we, just as adults, don't wantto talk about it, which is like
everything else, that's thatmakes us uncomfortable here in
this lifetime.
Right, we just ignore theproblem.
Maybe it will go away.
So I want to talk about it,which is like everything else
that's that makes usuncomfortable here in this
lifetime.
Right, we just ignore theproblem.
Maybe, maybe it will go away.
So I want to say and tell you,I have had so many clients
(03:12):
lately that talk about theirchildren's abilities and how
they're able to see spirit, hearspirit, see orbs, all of these
different things.
And I think, until you are aparent in this space and you're
open to the ability of thinkingthat there's more out there,
everybody shuts it down,everyone chalks it up to
(03:34):
imaginary friends, everyonechalks it up to like imagination
.
You're just making things up,right, because I'll tell you, my
kids say the darndest things.
I know that was a whole show,but they do.
They do say the weirdest,strangest, craziest things.
So if they come to me and tellme at five years old that I'm
(03:57):
seeing shadow people in thebasement.
I'm going to chalk it up to hisimagination because the kid
plays Minecraft, right?
He?
What is that?
The Ender?
I can't remember.
I'm not a Minecraft person, Idid not see the movie, but like
he sees the black version of theenderman, I think that's what
it called.
It's called the, the, thespectral, the black, looking
black and color, like lookingminecraft demon that's in the
(04:18):
game.
And when he comes to me sayingthat's what they look like, of
course I jumped to theassumption he's just using his
imagination, he's just seeingthings.
He's he's being silly with meand I think this is a total
normal response from fromparents.
But the reality is that mostkids are connected to the spirit
(04:39):
world.
At a young age I remember my sonas a baby looking up as I'm
changing his diaper at this, atthe shadows on the ceiling, and
they weren't like moving shadows, they were legit shadows and
that's what I thought he waslooking at.
He I put him on the changingtable.
He would look up and he'd startlaughing and start giggling and
I'm just like, and I made madeup songs about how he would
(05:00):
laugh at the shadows on theceiling right, I literally made
up songs about it because I waslike this kid's crazy and he's a
baby, so who cares?
I'm like I don't know what he'sseeing Right.
And as I get older, as he getsolder, you know, I have my
second kid and my second kid isin the crib and I'm I'm going in
to say goodnight to her and shelooks around the corner and she
(05:22):
waves into the hallway.
There's no one there.
She's literally waving andsmiling into the hallway and I'm
like what the fuck was that?
Right, because this is allbefore I believed in any of this
stuff, right.
And then my son saying theshadow people right, and you can
take a moment and you cancompletely ignore it.
(05:43):
You're like, oh, that was weird, because she's never done it
since.
Right, she's never done itagain.
And so I'm like, oh, maybe shewas just seeing something.
Right, it wasn't a dead person,she was just waving, because
our picture's in the hallway andmaybe she was waving to me in
the picture.
Right, it's so easy to write allthis stuff off.
But then, as I kind of havethis metaphysical hat on now,
(06:05):
I'm like, no wonder, I'm surethat my son was seeing spirit
playing above him as he's on thechanging table as a small baby.
I'm sure that it was mydeparted mother in law in the
hallway waving at my daughtertrying to get my damn attention
right.
So it's just so interestingbecause I think hindsight with
(06:26):
this stuff is 2020.
And I think I want parents toknow that this is completely
normal, and when I saycompletely normal, I mean that
kids.
This is gonna sound weird and Idon't know how much I believe
it and I don't want toregurgitate the same thing that
I've heard everywhere else.
But I do believe that kids haveaccess to the spirit world up
(06:49):
till like age 5, 6, 7, 8, right,but it's not that they lose
access to the spirit world.
It's that it's conditioned out,it's that we get more caught up
in our eyes and our ears thanin the energetic senses, and so
we we essentially have too muchgoing on.
We distract our brain, justlike us, as adults, have
(07:11):
distracted brains where we juststop paying attention.
And so I have a lot of clientssaying hey, who does my you know
, year and a half year olds seespirits?
And my answer is alwaysabsolutely yes.
Um, does my four-year-old seespirits?
Probably, yes, right, I don'tthink it's as turned on, like if
(07:31):
we're talking about a dial interms of the connectedness.
I think all of them areconnected at some level.
I think some people, some kids,are more connected than others
at a young age and some probablyagain have different clairs
than others, right?
So I think some people seespirits, some people hear
spirits, some people might justfeel them or get the goosebumps
right, and I think that all ofthis is normal as kids and when
(07:53):
you grow up as a young kid andyou're seeing shadow people or
you're hearing your stuffedanimals talking to you or you're
getting these feeling ofgoosebumps all the time, it just
becomes normal.
Why would you talk about it allthe time?
Like, why would you bothertalking about it all the time?
You're just like it's fine,it's no big deal.
So from a kid's perspectivemakes total sense.
(08:14):
From adults perspective, wewrite it off because we are
rational brains and that's easyto write off.
But what I'm finding is the moreI have these conversations with
people who grew up with spirit,experiencing spirit, knowing it
was spirit.
I cannot tell you how relievedthey are and honestly I'm going
(08:36):
to say it, this isn't an egothing, but like honestly, a
little jealous they are thatthey have a mom that says, yeah,
that's grandma, yeah, that'syour great uncle, you didn't
know him.
Important it is to validatethem and their experiences at a
young age, because otherwisethey shut it down and spirit is
(09:00):
showing me a window.
They shut it down for good andthey never open it back up when
they feel like they're crazy ornot validated for seeing,
hearing the things that they do.
And if their own parents don'tbelieve them, who is going to
believe them?
So you, as a parent withintuitive kids you are, I'm
(09:27):
going to the word will not leavemy mind.
So I'll say it.
You are the dictator.
And what happens to theirspirituality, not not forever,
but as they're young, right, youare the one who's going to set
the tone, set the intention withthem about what?
What is your experience goingto be?
Are you going to say, yeah,it's wonderful.
Are you going to say, no, it's,that's not spirit.
Are you going to say, yeah, itis spirit, like what?
(09:48):
How are you going to approachthis?
I don't even know what I'mtalking about anymore.
Anybody, I don't even knowSpirit's telling me to keep
going.
So I'm going to keep going, butthis is what I mean.
So you as a parent, I think thebest thing that you can do if
you have young kids, young,intuitive kids, is just continue
to support them and to continueto believe them.
Now, that can be really hard todo, even me as a metaphysical
(10:09):
person, even me as aprofessional medium.
My daughter, who's now nineperson, even me as a
professional medium.
My daughter, who's now nine,tells me she has ghosts at
school.
And I still, like I canprobably tap in and check what's
going on.
I don't, it's a school.
I'm sure there's ghosts there,right?
There's ghosts everywhere.
I live in haunted ass, newEngland, right?
(10:30):
Do I think any of these ghostsare bad?
No, I don't.
So I don't really worry aboutit, I don't really think about
it.
But my daughter tells methere's ghosts in the bathrooms
at school, right?
And?
And kids are kids everybody.
So, to be honest with you, Idon't know what I believe in,
what I don't believe.
I go along with it, I don't.
I don't tell her she's wrong,right, like I'm like oh, that's,
(10:56):
that's cool.
Does it talk at all?
No, it doesn't talk, just kindof hangs out there.
I'm like, oh, that'sinteresting.
I wonder why they're there.
All right, we'll just say hi tohim next time you see him.
Okay, it's literally theconversations that we have.
So I kind of just go along withwhat she says.
Do I believe it all the time?
No, because I think they're atthis really weird age where
ghosts and demons are kind ofcool.
Right, it's cool to talk aboutthese things.
It's cool to talk about ghostsin school, at camp, like it's
(11:20):
cool, you know, because we allhad them.
Like we had ghost storiesgrowing up and like who doesn't
love these things?
So I just play along with it, Ijust let her go with it.
But at the same time she comeshome the other day and she says
there was writing on my testthat no one else could see.
And I'm like what do you?
What do you mean?
(11:41):
And she said I looked down andI could see words.
And when I asked my well, itwasn't a test, right, because
she couldn't tell her friendswhen I showed it to my friends,
they couldn't see it.
And I'm like, okay, all right,that seems a little strange.
(12:01):
But what did I said?
What did it say?
And she's like I couldn't readit.
I'm like what do you mean?
You couldn't read it.
She's like I could tell itswords, but I couldn't read the
words.
Mama, and she's nine, right.
So I'm like, okay, cool, hangon a second.
So I get out a piece of paper.
I'm like, can you do youremember what it looks like?
She's like yeah, I'm like canyou write it down for me?
(12:21):
And no fucking word of a lie.
She wrote down a word.
I don't remember what it was.
It was four letters.
To be honest with you, itlooked like the word fuck, which
wouldn't surprise me because itwas a school, school versions
of writing things in old England, in old English, right.
So it had like the big cursiveF and like the U and like it was
(12:45):
.
It was like the old timey, like1700 script.
She said that was across herpaper.
She's nine years old.
She has no idea what that lookslike.
She has no idea even what thatthe F looks like that, right.
That the S looks like that.
I only know it because you knowwe take those classes
(13:05):
eventually in middle school andhigh school, right.
So this is just so interestingthat she comes home saying I
could see words that no one elsecould see.
I couldn't read them, but thisis what they look like and I
could read it Like this is thestuff that blows my fucking mind
.
This is the stuff that blows mymind and I'm like, oh shit, she
has a ghost friend that followsher, like literally a ghost
(13:26):
friend of school that followsher and she brings him home and,
but here's the problem, they'renot allowed on my property.
I kick, no one is allowed on myproperty unless I invite them
me, because I don't trust mykids.
So they're not allowed.
So he waits by the road for her, right, it's like this.
This dead dude waits by theroad for my daughter to take her
(13:46):
to school every day, like nofreaking word of a lie.
So this is the craziness thathappens at my house, okay, as a
mom.
So so I guess my advice isnumber one this is fun, embrace
it.
Let them talk about it, becausewho cares?
What's the truth?
Right, you're not gonna,they're not crazy.
But number two I would just saycontinue to support them,
(14:07):
continue to allow them toexpress that to you, because if
they don't feel comfortableexpressing this stuff to you,
it's the baseline for the, thefuture of the relationship,
right, if they can't trust youwith the craziest shit that
there's some there were drawingson my name, that there's a man
there's, there's a ghost outsidethat takes me to school every
day and like like what?
My kids tell me everything.
(14:29):
At this point they tell meliterally everything, because
I'm like yeah, no, I trust thatyou saw that dead guy.
And they're like Cool, mom, I'malso having this crush at work
and I'm like, or at school, andI'm like cool, I love the crush
too.
So I'm going to say like, evenif you don't necessarily believe
all of it, like I don't, itcreates this foundation of trust
.
So just let them in, let themtalk about it, let them feel
(14:49):
like you trust them andvalidated them and support them.
And that is actually the numberone thing that I've heard from
metaphysical practitioners whohave been seeing spirits since
they were little is that no onevalidated them, no one believed
them, and there's so many peoplein this field that have that
core wound as a child.
I don't want you to have thatcore wound.
(15:10):
I don't want your children tohave core wounds Like who cares
if it's not real right, whocares?
So just validate them and makethem feel good and whole and
that you love them and trustthem and support them, no matter
what.
And eventually, as we all know,if you have some of the older
kids, they grow out of it anywayand they get embarrassed when
(15:31):
you talk about these things.
So they will.
They will set the tone for you.
You don't have to worry toomuch about this.
And, by the way, I just noticedI have my ghost earrings on
today, which is most days, but Ifind it particularly
interesting that I decided toput those on today for this,
when Spirit was like I don'tknow if you should wear those
today.
Welcome to my life.
Everybody, I talked to Spiritin terms of what jewelry and
clothes I put on.
(15:52):
So, yep, that's my day.
And then the last part I wantedto talk about is the interesting
factor of raising kids that areintuitive and being able to see
it through their eyes, see lifethrough their eyes, because I
never got to experience this.
(16:13):
I never got to experience whatit was like to really like know
what energy is, know how to seethe magic every single day and
all these little things, see thesigns, see the synchronicities,
to know that my relatives arewatching over me and taking care
of me, and so, for me, itbrings such joy, such lightness,
(16:38):
such magic into my life,watching my kids go through this
in such an innocent way,without a narrative, without
expectations of an outcome, likeI don't know if they're going
to be mediums I mean, they aremediums.
I don't know if they're goingto do this professionally.
I probably doubt it.
Maybe my daughter, we'll seewhat happens.
(16:59):
But but just allowing them toexplore and just be at one with
themselves in the spirit, worldand the energy, and just being
able to talk to them and likelevel set with them that, yeah,
you have work to do, but youshould be having fun.
This is the matrix, right?
All the dead people are rightthere, right next to you, so go.
So, like, what are you worriedabout?
(17:19):
Why are you so stressed aboutand being able to raise them
with this bigger picture thatit's not just one lifetime?
Put all of the chips on thetable, right?
We're going to bet everythingon red, right?
That's not what this lifetimeis like, which is how I grew up.
I grew up that you got this onechance.
Don't fuck it up, don't blow it.
You get one chance and you'regoing to be judged your entire
(17:44):
life.
Thank you, catholic Church.
I appreciate you.
Your entire life is going to bejudged in one moment, how do
you?
And so every single moment ofevery single waking day is
trying to make choices thatalign to the Bible, that align
to the commandments.
Right For me personally.
So it's just.
I love how much more free I'mbeing able to raise them and I
(18:05):
love seeing the magic throughtheir eyes, but also I'm really
hoping this solves a lot ofgenerational trauma, especially
with the church throughout thefamily and so, and allowing them
to just really be who they areagain, without the expectation
of others and religion, andletting them just flourish as
souls here, which is, I think,the ultimate goal.
(18:27):
Because I'll tell you what Itell my kids a lot of the same
exact things that I tell myclients that are much older in
age than my kids.
No judgment in terms of my agesome are older, some are younger
(18:49):
but but a lot of the lessonsthat these adults have gone
through are going through that Icoach them through through my
soul alignment sessions.
They're literally going throughthe same things, the same
problems, as my kids.
Like these lessons don't goaway.
So I'm so happy that I can nipsome of this in the bud for them
, so to speak, and allow them tostart life off on the best foot
possible.
So I mean, I guess I'm going tochallenge all of you to raise
(19:16):
your kids the way that you wouldwant to be raised.
Raise the kids withunconditional love, with
unconditional acceptance,allowing them to choose their
path, choose their own destiny,choose their own personality,
and know that you are justessentially their temporary
guide here.
I mean, you'll be there forforever, realistically right,
(19:39):
but you are their guide to setthem off on the right foot.
So use your instinct, use yourgut and that's what I've been
doing and follow what you thinkis the right thing to do for
kids, to raise these kids theway that you think they need to
be raised or they should beraised and I come from a very
long line of do I want to gothere?
(20:04):
No, it's spirits like don'tbother.
But I guess my closing remarkI'll say is just realize that
they picked you for a reason.
You picked them and they pickedyou for a reason.
And so I encourage you to leadthem with love.
(20:27):
Lead them with unconditionallove and unconditional support
and let them be who they aredestined to be.
Let them lead the way and yousupport them in whatever
direction they travel, and Ithink that's the best advice
that I'm going to give, so I'mgoing to leave it there.
Thank you all so much for beinghere today.
(20:49):
I truly and humbly appreciateyou, and I hope you have a
marvelous day.
Take care.
Welcome back to empower your soul.
Today I wanted to talk aboutintuitive kids.
This is a topic that's come upquite a bit in many of my client

I don't really have a script togo off of for this episode, so

going on with the state of kids.
What can you do as a parent ofintuitive kids to support them,

So let's get going.
As you know, I am a mom of twovery intuitive kids.
I have a nine-year-old son whowas seeing spirit, which is why
(00:42):
I'm here today as as an eightyear old, actually technically

(04:39):
world.
At a young age I remember my sonas a baby looking up as I'm
changing his diaper at this, atthe shadows on the ceiling, and
they weren't like moving shadows, they were legit shadows and
that's what I thought he waslooking at.
He I put him on the changingtable.
He would look up and he'd startlaughing and start giggling and
I'm just like, and I made madeup songs about how he would
(05:00):
laugh at the shadows on theceiling right, I literally made
up songs about it because I waslike this kid's crazy and he's a
baby, so who cares?
I'm like I don't know what he'sseeing Right.
And as I get older, as he getsolder, you know, I have my
second kid and my second kid isin the crib and I'm I'm going in
to say goodnight to her and shelooks around the corner and she
(05:22):
waves into the hallway.
There's no one there.
She's literally waving andsmiling into the hallway and I'm
like what the fuck was that?
Right, because this is allbefore I believed in any of this
stuff, right.
And then my son saying theshadow people right, and you can
take a moment and you cancompletely ignore it.
(05:43):
You're like, oh, that was weird, because she's never done it
since.
Right, she's never done itagain.
And so I'm like, oh, maybe shewas just seeing something.
Right, it wasn't a dead person,she was just waving, because
our picture's in the hallway andmaybe she was waving to me in
the picture.
Right, it's so easy to write allthis stuff off.
But then, as I kind of havethis metaphysical hat on now,
(06:05):
I'm like, no wonder, I'm surethat my son was seeing spirit
playing above him as he's on thechanging table as a small baby.
I'm sure that it was mydeparted mother in law in the
hallway waving at my daughtertrying to get my damn attention
right.
So it's just so interestingbecause I think hindsight with
(06:26):
this stuff is 2020.
And I think I want parents toknow that this is completely
normal, and when I saycompletely normal, I mean that
kids.
This is gonna sound weird and Idon't know how much I believe
it and I don't want toregurgitate the same thing that
I've heard everywhere else.
But I do believe that kids haveaccess to the spirit world up
(06:49):
till like age 5, 6, 7, 8, right,but it's not that they lose
access to the spirit world.
It's that it's conditioned out,it's that we get more caught up
in our eyes and our ears thanin the energetic senses, and so
we we essentially have too muchgoing on.
We distract our brain, justlike us, as adults, have
(07:11):
distracted brains where we juststop paying attention.
And so I have a lot of clientssaying hey, who does my you know
, year and a half year olds seespirits?
And my answer is alwaysabsolutely yes.
Um, does my four-year-old seespirits?
Probably, yes, right, I don'tthink it's as turned on, like if
(07:31):
we're talking about a dial interms of the connectedness.
I think all of them areconnected at some level.
I think some people, some kids,are more connected than others
at a young age and some probablyagain have different clairs
than others, right?
So I think some people seespirits, some people hear
spirits, some people might justfeel them or get the goosebumps
right, and I think that all ofthis is normal as kids and when
(07:53):
you grow up as a young kid andyou're seeing shadow people or
you're hearing your stuffedanimals talking to you or you're
getting these feeling ofgoosebumps all the time, it just
becomes normal.
Why would you talk about it allthe time?
Like, why would you bothertalking about it all the time?
You're just like it's fine,it's no big deal.
So from a kid's perspectivemakes total sense.
(08:14):
From adults perspective, wewrite it off because we are
rational brains and that's easyto write off.
But what I'm finding is the moreI have these conversations with
people who grew up with spirit,experiencing spirit, knowing it
was spirit.
I cannot tell you how relievedthey are and honestly I'm going
(08:36):
to say it, this isn't an egothing, but like honestly, a
little jealous they are thatthey have a mom that says, yeah,
that's grandma, yeah, that'syour great uncle, you didn't
know him.
Important it is to validatethem and their experiences at a
young age, because otherwisethey shut it down and spirit is
(09:00):
showing me a window.
They shut it down for good andthey never open it back up when
they feel like they're crazy ornot validated for seeing,
hearing the things that they do.
And if their own parents don'tbelieve them, who is going to
believe them?
So you, as a parent withintuitive kids you are, I'm
(09:27):
going to the word will not leavemy mind.
So I'll say it.
You are the dictator.
And what happens to theirspirituality, not not forever,
but as they're young, right, youare the one who's going to set
the tone, set the intention withthem about what?
What is your experience goingto be?
Are you going to say, yeah,it's wonderful.
Are you going to say, no, it's,that's not spirit.
Are you going to say, yeah, itis spirit, like what?
(09:48):
How are you going to approachthis?
I don't even know what I'mtalking about anymore.
Anybody, I don't even knowSpirit's telling me to keep
going.
So I'm going to keep going, butthis is what I mean.
So you as a parent, I think thebest thing that you can do if
you have young kids, young,intuitive kids, is just continue
to support them and to continueto believe them.
Now, that can be really hard todo, even me as a metaphysical
(10:09):
person, even me as aprofessional medium.
My daughter, who's now nineperson, even me as a
professional medium.
My daughter, who's now nine,tells me she has ghosts at
school.
And I still, like I canprobably tap in and check what's
going on.
I don't, it's a school.
I'm sure there's ghosts there,right?
There's ghosts everywhere.
I live in haunted ass, newEngland, right?
(10:30):
Do I think any of these ghostsare bad?
No, I don't.
So I don't really worry aboutit, I don't really think about
it.
But my daughter tells methere's ghosts in the bathrooms
at school, right?
And?
And kids are kids everybody.
So, to be honest with you, Idon't know what I believe in,
what I don't believe.
I go along with it, I don't.
I don't tell her she's wrong,right, like I'm like oh, that's,
(10:56):
that's cool.
Does it talk at all?
No, it doesn't talk, just kindof hangs out there.
I'm like, oh, that'sinteresting.
I wonder why they're there.
All right, we'll just say hi tohim next time you see him.
Okay, it's literally theconversations that we have.
So I kind of just go along withwhat she says.
Do I believe it all the time?
No, because I think they're atthis really weird age where
ghosts and demons are kind ofcool.
Right, it's cool to talk aboutthese things.
It's cool to talk about ghostsin school, at camp, like it's
(11:20):
cool, you know, because we allhad them.
Like we had ghost storiesgrowing up and like who doesn't
love these things?
So I just play along with it, Ijust let her go with it.
But at the same time she comeshome the other day and she says
there was writing on my testthat no one else could see.
And I'm like what do you?
What do you mean?
(11:41):
And she said I looked down andI could see words.
And when I asked my well, itwasn't a test, right, because
she couldn't tell her friendswhen I showed it to my friends,
they couldn't see it.
And I'm like, okay, all right,that seems a little strange.
(12:01):
But what did I said?
What did it say?
And she's like I couldn't readit.
I'm like what do you mean?
You couldn't read it.
She's like I could tell itswords, but I couldn't read the
words.
Mama, and she's nine, right.
So I'm like, okay, cool, hangon a second.
So I get out a piece of paper.
I'm like, can you do youremember what it looks like?
She's like yeah, I'm like canyou write it down for me?
(12:21):
And no fucking word of a lie.
She wrote down a word.
I don't remember what it was.
It was four letters.
To be honest with you, itlooked like the word fuck, which
wouldn't surprise me because itwas a school, school versions
of writing things in old England, in old English, right.
So it had like the big cursiveF and like the U and like it was
(12:45):
.
It was like the old timey, like1700 script.
She said that was across herpaper.
She's nine years old.
She has no idea what that lookslike.
She has no idea even what thatthe F looks like that, right.
That the S looks like that.
I only know it because you knowwe take those classes
(13:05):
eventually in middle school andhigh school, right.
So this is just so interestingthat she comes home saying I
could see words that no one elsecould see.
I couldn't read them, but thisis what they look like and I
could read it Like this is thestuff that blows my fucking mind
.
This is the stuff that blows mymind and I'm like, oh shit, she
has a ghost friend that followsher, like literally a ghost
(13:26):
friend of school that followsher and she brings him home and,
but here's the problem, they'renot allowed on my property.
I kick, no one is allowed on myproperty unless I invite them
me, because I don't trust mykids.
So they're not allowed.
So he waits by the road for her, right, it's like this.
This dead dude waits by theroad for my daughter to take her
(13:46):
to school every day, like nofreaking word of a lie.
So this is the craziness thathappens at my house, okay, as a
mom.
So so I guess my advice isnumber one this is fun, embrace
it.
Let them talk about it, becausewho cares?
What's the truth?
Right, you're not gonna,they're not crazy.
But number two I would just saycontinue to support them,
(14:07):
continue to allow them toexpress that to you, because if
they don't feel comfortableexpressing this stuff to you,
it's the baseline for the, thefuture of the relationship,
right, if they can't trust youwith the craziest shit that
there's some there were drawingson my name, that there's a man
there's, there's a ghost outsidethat takes me to school every
day and like like what?
My kids tell me everything.
(14:29):
At this point they tell meliterally everything, because
I'm like yeah, no, I trust thatyou saw that dead guy.
And they're like Cool, mom, I'malso having this crush at work
and I'm like, or at school, andI'm like cool, I love the crush
too.
So I'm going to say like, evenif you don't necessarily believe
all of it, like I don't, itcreates this foundation of trust
.
So just let them in, let themtalk about it, let them feel
(14:49):
like you trust them andvalidated them and support them.
And that is actually the numberone thing that I've heard from
metaphysical practitioners whohave been seeing spirits since
they were little is that no onevalidated them, no one believed
them, and there's so many peoplein this field that have that
core wound as a child.
I don't want you to have thatcore wound.
(15:10):
I don't want your children tohave core wounds Like who cares
if it's not real right, whocares?
So just validate them and makethem feel good and whole and
that you love them and trustthem and support them, no matter
what.
And eventually, as we all know,if you have some of the older
kids, they grow out of it anywayand they get embarrassed when
(15:31):
you talk about these things.
So they will.
They will set the tone for you.
You don't have to worry toomuch about this.
And, by the way, I just noticedI have my ghost earrings on
today, which is most days, but Ifind it particularly
interesting that I decided toput those on today for this,
when Spirit was like I don'tknow if you should wear those
today.
Welcome to my life.
Everybody, I talked to Spiritin terms of what jewelry and
clothes I put on.
(15:52):
So, yep, that's my day.
And then the last part I wantedto talk about is the interesting
factor of raising kids that areintuitive and being able to see
it through their eyes, see lifethrough their eyes, because I
never got to experience this.
(16:13):
I never got to experience whatit was like to really like know
what energy is, know how to seethe magic every single day and
all these little things, see thesigns, see the synchronicities,
to know that my relatives arewatching over me and taking care
of me, and so, for me, itbrings such joy, such lightness,
(16:38):
such magic into my life,watching my kids go through this
in such an innocent way,without a narrative, without
expectations of an outcome, likeI don't know if they're going
to be mediums I mean, they aremediums.
I don't know if they're goingto do this professionally.
I probably doubt it.
Maybe my daughter, we'll seewhat happens.
(16:59):
But but just allowing them toexplore and just be at one with
themselves in the spirit, worldand the energy, and just being
able to talk to them and likelevel set with them that, yeah,
you have work to do, but youshould be having fun.
This is the matrix, right?
All the dead people are rightthere, right next to you, so go.
So, like, what are you worriedabout?
(17:19):
Why are you so stressed aboutand being able to raise them
with this bigger picture thatit's not just one lifetime?
Put all of the chips on thetable, right?
We're going to bet everythingon red, right?
That's not what this lifetimeis like, which is how I grew up.
I grew up that you got this onechance.
Don't fuck it up, don't blow it.
You get one chance and you'regoing to be judged your entire
(17:44):
life.
Thank you, catholic Church.
I appreciate you.
Your entire life is going to bejudged in one moment, how do
you?
And so every single moment ofevery single waking day is
trying to make choices thatalign to the Bible, that align
to the commandments.
Right For me personally.
So it's just.
I love how much more free I'mbeing able to raise them and I
(18:05):
love seeing the magic throughtheir eyes, but also I'm really
hoping this solves a lot ofgenerational trauma, especially
with the church throughout thefamily and so, and allowing them
to just really be who they areagain, without the expectation
of others and religion, andletting them just flourish as
souls here, which is, I think,the ultimate goal.
(18:27):
Because I'll tell you what Itell my kids a lot of the same
exact things that I tell myclients that are much older in
age than my kids.
No judgment in terms of my agesome are older, some are younger
(18:49):
but but a lot of the lessonsthat these adults have gone
through are going through that Icoach them through through my
soul alignment sessions.
They're literally going throughthe same things, the same
problems, as my kids.
Like these lessons don't goaway.
So I'm so happy that I can nipsome of this in the bud for them
, so to speak, and allow them tostart life off on the best foot
possible.
So I mean, I guess I'm going tochallenge all of you to raise
(19:16):
your kids the way that you wouldwant to be raised.
Raise the kids withunconditional love, with
unconditional acceptance,allowing them to choose their
path, choose their own destiny,choose their own personality,
and know that you are justessentially their temporary
guide here.
I mean, you'll be there forforever, realistically right,
(19:39):
but you are their guide to setthem off on the right foot.
So use your instinct, use yourgut and that's what I've been
doing and follow what you thinkis the right thing to do for
kids, to raise these kids theway that you think they need to
be raised or they should beraised and I come from a very
long line of do I want to gothere?
(20:04):
No, it's spirits like don'tbother.
But I guess my closing remarkI'll say is just realize that
they picked you for a reason.
You picked them and they pickedyou for a reason.
And so I encourage you to leadthem with love.
(20:27):
Lead them with unconditionallove and unconditional support
and let them be who they aredestined to be.
Let them lead the way and yousupport them in whatever
direction they travel, and Ithink that's the best advice
that I'm going to give, so I'mgoing to leave it there.
Thank you all so much for beinghere today.
(20:49):
I truly and humbly appreciateyou, and I hope you have a
marvelous day.
Take care.
