And don't forget to pick up abottle of my divination 22 money

(01:07):
potion, vodka or love potionat one handsome bastard in Old Town
Scottsdale to set yourintentions for 2025.
Well, Jo, welcome back forpart two.
Just here.
I know we're in the same clothes.
Go figure.
So we're going to cover parttwo because we actually had a lot
of questions on this topic andso there's more to talk about.

(01:29):
So let's go ahead and startwith the next question.
Hey Alison, it's Noah again.
So my mom does have dementiaand she sleeps a lot and she's 99,
almost 99.
On March 23rd, she'll be 99years old.

(01:51):
She sleeps a lot and shesometimes, you know, will talk about
her mom and her dad, that shesees them a lot but she doesn't remember
all those dreams that she has.
And what is your take, yourspiritual take about sleeping a lot

(02:13):
other than dementia thatpeople say, you know, old people
with dementia sleep a lot?
I think.
I mean, in my opinion there issomething more spiritual and more
connection to the life afterwhen they sleep a lot because that's
one way to connect.
They're like in limbo.

(02:35):
I feel that they are in limboand the same thing.
You know, when babies are bornand they sleep a lot, they're still
not completely in this world,I believe, but they're still having
some kind of connection withwhere they came from, the souls.

(02:58):
Do you think I'm just makingit up or like I'm thinking that that
could be a possibility.
But I need your input.
Thanks so much.
Bye.
Good question.
So when anyone who's had ababy or been around a baby for any
length of time when theysleep, you'll see them smile and

(03:21):
you see them laugh, and it'ssuch a nice moment and experience
because you look at them andwonder, what beautiful experience
are they having right now?
What interaction are theymaybe having with the other side
or with relatives who'vepassed, who are talking to them and
letting them know how they'regonna be taken care of and how they're

(03:43):
loved.
So I guess Noah's not wrong inthis, wanting to know this and in
her own sense of the process.
So people with dementia thatsleep a lot, my sense is they're
being prepared to cross,especially when they talk about relatives
who've died, especially their parents.

(04:03):
Specifically when they starttalking about those people and being
a small child and stories fromthat time in their life is when they're
getting prepared to cross over.
So dementia's much harder onthe living than it is on the person
who actually has the dementia.

(04:25):
Because the person that hasdementia, although they may seem
unsettled and dissatisfied,and I can understand why they would
feel that way, because theirlife has shifted and something's
changed and they are notengaged in the living world so much
anymore.

(04:47):
So I was gonna mentionsomething, but I won't.
So with dementia, I will sayit's them being prepared for the
other side so much harder onus than it is for them.
And when I bring throughpeople who passed of dementia, they'll
say things to the effect of, Iwasn't myself.
They'll say things such as, Ihadn't been me for a long time and

(05:12):
I was ready to go.
So the souls of people whohave dementia are often ready to
let go.
They're dissatisfied with thephysical world and the sleeping.
A lot is them being preparedto pass because it's the other side
talking to them, explaining tothem what's gonna happen, how it's
gonna feel, and it's themgetting accustomed to that feeling.

(05:34):
Also that mom and dad, Noah'smom's, Noah's grandparents, would
be around their daughterwaiting for her to cross, which is
why she keeps talking aboutthem, because they're probably some
of the people visiting herwhen she's sleeping to help prepare
her to cross.
With this being a nine yearand her mom turning 99 in March,

(05:59):
it's very likely that she'llfind a way to let go soon.
But some people fight harderto stay in the physical world because
it's all they know and theyhold on to the physical body.
They don't want to let go, andthey don't know why?
But instinctually, we hold on.
And some people are moredeeply entrenched in the physical

(06:22):
world than others.
Some people are totally easyto let go.
And they're like, great,because they've done it before and
they know what the drill is.
They let go.
They're ready for that nextphase of life for them, and they
don't like the body they'rein, and they're ready to let go of
that body.
So it just depends on theenergy of the soul that's in the
body, case by case basis.

(06:43):
But I would say for Noah, I'mglad that you have this time with
your mother.
Just rest assured, yourgrandparents are there taking care
of her and loving her andpreparing her.
So let's go ahead and startwith the next question.
Hey, Allison.
Hey Joe.
Hey Sophia.
Hey, Tom.
Thank you so much for takingmy call.

(07:05):
I love, love, love the podcast.
I look forward to Tuesdays tohearing it.
My name is Holly.
I'm calling from St.
Louis, Missouri, and I have aquestion in relation to my own psychic,
possibly mediumship abilities,as well as some paranormal things
that have happened in my house.
So I'm going to try to giveyou the abbreviated version of.

(07:28):
So starting with the firsttime, I think that my granny reached
out to me.
I took your advice, Allison,and I told her I was ready for a
visit.
And I was always very close toher when she was living.
And within an hour of mesaying that I was ready, talking
to her and saying that I wasready for a visit, a knob came off

(07:51):
of the stovetop.
And that should not have happened.
There was no logical reasonfor that happening.
And I realized at that timethat I had left something in the
oven that needed to come out.
My granny was always in thekitchen cooking, so I felt like that
was 100% her.
I've had pictures slide offthe walls in front of me for no good

(08:15):
reason.
Antique mirrors crashed to thefloor in front of me while I was
sleeping.
So those were a couple otheroddities that have happened.
I do use Granny magic sagespray protection oil.
And then most recently, I hada really vivid dream that the brakes

(08:37):
on my friend's Jeep went out.
I texted her the next day,told her about it, and within a week
of that, the brakes on herJeep actually did go out.
But luckily I everybody was okay.
So anyway, those are just somesnapshots of some of the more significant
things that have happened.
And my question to you is justwhat your impressions are on some

(09:01):
of those paranormal thingsthat have happened, as well as what
I Might do to further my own abilities.
Super, super busy, full time mom.
My daughter's an ice skater,competitive ice skater, which I know
you can relate to.
Don't have a ton of time, butdefinitely want to pursue this.

(09:21):
And I'm just open to your,your impressions and your thoughts.
Thank you so much for takingmy call.
Have a wonderful day.
Well, Holly's got nice energy.
Thank you for calling in.
I sort of love this for her.
So her granny reached out andknocked the knob off the stovetop

(09:44):
to let her know that not onlyis she in her life, and the pictures
on the wall, all of those are signs.
It's communication.
It's their way of letting youknow that they're in your house,
that they're part of yourlife, and that you're not alone.
So that's very much what I getfrom everything she described.
As far as the premonition shehad about her friend whose car was

(10:05):
going to have some sort of avery big issue that was dangerous
for her friend.
I'm glad that she acted uponit and actually said something and
was able to help her or maybeeven save her.
That's great, because whatgood is the information if you don't
share it?
Even if something doesn'thappen or it ends up being something
small at first, that smallthing could have turned into a really

(10:28):
big deal later and you nippedit in the bud and that's why the
person's safe.
But maybe don't see it as yousaving them.
It's like, oh, I stoppedsomething from happening that was
set in motion.
So you're welcome.
Right.
They could be that as well.
So I don't want people withabilities to be hard on themselves
if they don't get the hugeconfirmation that it was imminent.

(10:54):
Like it was a matter of hoursor days, you know, it could have
led to something bad.
So you intervening is still avery good thing.
Right.
So her other question is,should I do this professionally?
Should she do this professionally?
I get having a skater.
I was a competitive skater.
I know how much time theyspend at the rink.

(11:14):
It's a huge commitment of timeand money.
And so I understand having akid at home is a lot of work.
And it's been my experiencethat a lot of psychic mediums, they
have more energy to invest intheir abilities, growing their abilities
and reading peopleprofessionally when their children

(11:37):
have grown and are gone.
That makes sense.
These are a lot of work.
They're a lot of work.
And it's not that you can't doit, but even Back when I started
doing this professionally, Iwas, what, 28?
Long time ago.
And Joe would take the girlsand they'd go collect ladybugs on
the side of the mountain orthey'd go on some roaming adventure

(12:00):
together.
Yes, he is actually, that dad.
He's great.
And so they'd have theirlittle adventures and I would read
five to seven people on a Saturday.
At the time, I just allottedSaturdays for readings until it became
so much that I had to do itfull time.

(12:20):
Right.
So that's a good gauge to usefor Holly, if she were to put even
a day a month aside where shecould just do readings for people
on those days.
And you start there.
And then if it picks up somuch momentum that you.
You have people bookedconstantly, as I had, then you have

(12:43):
to make a decision on yourcareer because now it's turned into
more of a career.
It starts as a calling, turnsinto a career because it's so time
consuming.
And then she'll have toreadjust schedules.
But for now, I'd say, I don'tknow how old your daughter is, but
when she's out of the houseand in college, you're going to have

(13:04):
all the time in the world.
You don't have to wait until then.
Start out slowly.
Start out with a day, a monthor every other week and see people
in that space.
I suggest don't bring them toyour house.
For in persons, you can dophone readings from your house.
Otherwise, rent a space in apsychic shop in your city.

(13:24):
They rent out spaces forpeople to do readings until you get
to a place where you canafford to rent out your own office
space.
Now, with Airbnb, there's alot of office spaces I believe you
can rent out as well, becausedidn't we try and do that before,
but the noise was too much ofa problem.
Yeah, it's like Airbnb foroffices, but it was too noisy.

(13:47):
It's hard to find just theright spot because it has to be.
I like the psychic chop ideabecause it will be already somewhat,
hopefully cleansed and havethe right energy.
I'd even ask them if I couldrent that room before they open the
doors to the public.
Well, true, because the noiseand distractions.
It'S very important to be inthe zone when you're a psychic medium.

(14:11):
You can't pull impressionsjust from the person in front of
you.
If there are people walkingaround a shop, you might start pulling
impressions off of one of them.
I think that would be very confusing.
Confusing and chaotic.
So my suggestion is see if youcould rent a room in a psychic store
and do your readings eitherafter they close or before they open,

(14:32):
when it's very quiet and startout that way.
Right.
And she might also want toconsider that if you do open yourself
up to a career, the other sidemight take you up on it.
And it is emotionally a lot of work.
It is.
It's physically pulling, too.

(14:55):
So just be ready.
But if it's your calling, it'syour calling.
I mean, there's no way around it.
Well, and depending on whoyour clients start out as, like,
even in the beginning,remember, I was getting murders and
suicides.
Like, I've always been atrauma specialist as a psychic medium,
because it's my energy that Ican handle it.

(15:15):
Some people, it's grandmasthat they bring through, and they
have a lighter schedule.
They have much lighteremotional toll taken on them.
And so you could do thosereadings all day long.
Those don't weigh on you.
Those are kind of fun becauseit's like reading a person's story,

(15:37):
where they've been, what theywere like, the music they experienced.
World War II, sometimes theyshow being at the USO and going dancing.
You know, it just depends onthe time period and their experience.
So I, you know, depending onwhat our clients end up being like
and.
Because word of mouth is 90%of all PR out there.

(16:01):
Right.
So as soon as you read somebody.
Yes.
You're going to draw in, like,energy to your own energy.
And as soon as you readsomeone, they tell five to 10 people
and you draw them in.
For instance, when nine, 11happened, I read a horseshoe where
I read a person who wasaffected by that, who'd lost a loved

(16:24):
one, and then she went backand shared my information with other
people who'd lost loved ones.
So in those instanceshistorically, when something historically
takes places or takes place orsomething catastrophic takes place,
your name's going to getpassed around to the other widows

(16:45):
or widowers, whoever'sconnected to the people who passed.
And you will find yourselfdoing quite a bit of those readings,
which helps you to identifyhow the person died because you recognize
it from someone else youbrought through.
So I found that interesting in reading.
You've read other groups, too.
Like, you'll get a whole slewof therapists because they tell each

(17:09):
other, or you'll get a slew ofprofessors or businessmen.
I read a lot of therapists.
Yes, you do.
A lot of psychologists, a lotof psychiatrists, a lot of nurses.
But you can see the networkthey're in.
They don't necessarily evensay who it is that they knew, but

(17:31):
you can kind of tell it comesin waves.
And maybe that's just anenergy thing.
Maybe that's like almost astrological.
Yeah, it's an energy thing.
So that's my advice to you, Holly.
Don't give up on your abilities.
That could have been part ofyour granny's message, is her saying,
you can hear me, you know it's me.
I'm letting you know I'm here,but I'm also letting you know you

(17:52):
can do this.
How do you want to use it?
This is your gift.
Use it.
And so that could have beenher way of pointing Holly in the
direction professionally ofwhere she needs to go for her own
calling in helping people as well.
So I feel like that would makeGranny, in this instance, her guide,

(18:14):
the one that you need to talkto, Holly, the one that you need
to lean on.
When I started reading, Italked to my dad and I say, dad,
I need you to turn up thevolume and focus the energy of her
mother.
Like, whoever I'm bringingthrough, I need you to do this for
me.
And he tweaks their energy sothat I can hear them more clearly

(18:35):
and I can feel them more easily.
And it really does help in readings.
So, Holly, your granny, she'syour guide, she's your go to girl,
your point man, all of thatand, and good luck on your journey.
And I think you shouldabsolutely pursue a career with your

(18:58):
abilities.
Unless something shows youthat you need other priorities at
the time, and then you shiftyour energy in that direction, you
can figure it out.
It's an ebb and flow.
All right, are we ready forthe next call?
Yes.
Hi, Ellison, this is SusanHaggart Osborne.

(19:19):
I'm Sagittarian.
My question is I keep.
Why do I keep dreaming aboutmy ex husband?
We were in divorce in 2004 andwe both have been through quite a
bit since our divorce.
And lately he just seems to bemy mind a lot.

(19:44):
He was diagnosed with nonHodgkin's lymphoma.
And since our divorce, I'vehad a heart attack and a heart transplant.
So we've both been throughquite a bit.
And I was just wondering why Ikeep thinking or dreaming about him.

(20:06):
Well, thank you so much and Ireally enjoy your program.
Well, thank you, Susan.
So this is interesting.
The first thing that popped inmy head as she was talking, why does
she keep dreaming about her exhusband who was diagnosed with cancer?
And then she talked abouthaving her own heart attack and transplant

(20:28):
and it occurred to me like itfelt very strongly.
I felt that they're supposedto be there for each other.
Not that there weren't reasonsfor them to get a divorce, but almost
as if they need to healsomething in each other.
In other words, he needs totake care of her in her weak moments

(20:50):
and she him in his and lean oneach other.
So maybe foundationally intheir relationship, there is a friendship
to be had.
You know, it doesn't mean ithas to be overtly romantic in nature,
but it almost seems as thoughthe universe is saying, wait, stop.

(21:11):
Because it happened at thesame time to both of them around
the divorce.
So let's look at what DianeGoldner, she's my healer, friend
and professor at DeadUniversity, would say.
Heart attack.
Why is your heart sick?
What hurts?
So her heart attack could be,and most likely is partially because

(21:35):
of her heartbreak over themarriage not working or what they
said and did to one another.
There could be a lot ofemotional issues there that only
he could help heal with her.
He ends up getting canceraround that same time where the universe
is forcing him to not justfaces mortality, but to be more humble

(22:03):
in nature and recognize howfragile life is and who's there for
him.
So with him getting cancer, italmost feels as though the universe
is saying, I know this hurts.
You need to swallow yourpride, and you need to ask her for
her shoulder to lean on or forhelp when you need help.

(22:25):
To me, this felt as though theuniverse was not trying to force
them together, but force themto recognize that they needed each
other somehow.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, I do.
And you have such a greattrack record with that.
If you had an instinct and itwas instant, you heard it and you

(22:46):
felt it, I think she should gowith that.
So I know that in the physicalworld, many of us, especially divorced
women, would say, there's somuch pain.
You know, he did this, he did that.
Well, your life's on the line,and your days could be numbered.

(23:09):
So don't look at all of that.
We're not looking at hothusband cheating on you at 25.
We're looking at him facinghis mortality and staring death in
the face while she wentthrough a similar fragile operation
where her life hung in the balance.

(23:30):
Right.
She said that it's been 20years, and they've both been through
quite a lot.
So it sounds like they've bothperhaps grown and changed, and maybe
the friendship can be there.
Like you said, it doesn't haveto be a romantic relationship, but
they were clearly in thisworld to know each other for some

(23:52):
reason.
And they can both be there andmake each other better.
And if they both healed fromwhat they went through before, that
could have been a preview ofwhat comes towards the end of life
for both of them where they'retrying to get them comfortable with
the idea of being there forone another.

(24:15):
Let me drop off some, youknow, dinners that I made and then
froze so you could heat up soyou don't have to worry about cooking
or ordering out so you canheal doing things for one another.
I don't know if they havechildren in common, but they loved
each other enough to getmarried at one point in their life.
This, with the timing of bothof their health ailments.

(24:40):
It just seems and feels asthough they're supposed to be support
to one another in those moments.
And my sense is at some pointshe's going to hear him say some
very bare and raw things ofmoments of appreciation, his expression

(25:02):
of his own pain and who she isto him and his love for her.
So I don't feel like this isover in the evolution of whatever
it is they are to become.
Right.
So for those that are outthere that have maybe a similar situation,
sometimes these things happento get us to lower our wall just

(25:23):
enough to let somebody in thatwe didn't want to let in.
Sure.
And I'm sure facing mortality,many people, it changes and they
have to address things andlook at themselves in their life.
Yeah.
And this very much feels likea soul lesson that they're supposed
to both learn together.

(25:44):
So I hope theircommunication's gotten better between
the two of them so that theycan sort of hold hands and ride this
life out and just be like,wow, that was a ride, huh?
A lot of bumps and bruises.
But at the end of the day,like, I'll always love you, even
if the in love nature of therelationship passed us by.

(26:08):
That doesn't mean that youdon't mean a lot to me.
That makes perfect sense.
So.
Okay.
All right.
We're going to save the othercallers for Sophia because they're
more light hearted like she is.
You give me the hard ones.
Thanks.
Of course.
Well, I know you can handle them.

(26:29):
I'm tough.
Thank you for being mysounding board and spending the time
with me today.
I know that my listeners lovehearing from you as well because
you're the husband to set astandard by.
You are amazing.
