>> John (00:13):
Hello, my spooky friends, and welcome to another episode of
Dairyland Frights, the paranormal podcast that covers
everything suooky, creepy and mysterious in the
Midwest and beyond. And I
am so lucky to nights
because I have a very special guest on, and
she's done so many things. I will let
(00:33):
her tell you about it and I'll talk a little bit about
it, but Corby Mitt leed. Is that
how you pronounceied L Liedes? Thank
you. Thank you for being on the podcast. I really
appreciate it.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (00:46):
It's a pleasure to be here.
>> John (00:56):
Great. So when I said you did so many things, and this
is coming just off your website, because I was absolutely
fascinated by it. I got lost in it to be,
that loss is in loss, as in loss is
like. This is really interesting stuff.
So let me. Let me tell me a little bit about
Corby. So you're certified
Tarot master, is that correct?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:18):
Yes, that is.
>> John (01:19):
You are a psychic, a medium.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:22):
Yes.
>> John (01:22):
A teacher.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:24):
Yes.
>> John (01:24):
Ordained minister.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:26):
All of that.
>> John (01:28):
I love it. I love it.
So one of the things here, you
have been doing this again for
50 years, is that correct?
Wow.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:40):
Going to be 70 next month.
>> John (01:42):
Well, that. I love that. That is love.
And you obviously, have clients
worldwide. We were kind of talking. We had to switch some
things around because she had a patreon, which
we'talk. She can talk about later, about,
you know, with her clients and everything like that. But
this is. This is just amazing. I don't know how you
have time, but I appreciate your time for being
(02:05):
on here. How did you get started in this?
I mean, I know you've probably been asked that a million times,
but why did you decide that this is
some of the, not only using your gifts to do these
things?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (02:17):
Well, yes, this is what I call one of the two 30
second elevator speeches. When I was nine,
I read a book called the Witch Family by Eleanor
Estes and went, ooh, there's magic in the world. I want to
go find it. In 1973, I
was a senior in high school working part time at
Spencer Gifts. That's the year that L and Let Die
(02:37):
came out with Jane Seymour, the fortune teller. They
had the James Bond 07 Tarend deck, and I bought
it because we were all hippies then. You had your
elephant bell bottoms, your David Crosby fringe jacket,
and your deck. Now, five years later, everyone else
had moved on to roller skates and disco balls. But
I love the cards. So for 20 years,
(02:57):
I read for friends, making sure that my
ego was out of the way and my message was clear.
Then all of a sudden in the early ninet, I could do
hands on healing and talk to dead people with no training.
That's when the universe handed me my draft notice and I took
it. So I did psychic work part time.
Meanwhile being an actress and author and inspirational speaker,
(03:18):
a video producer, legal assistant and executive
recruiter, a writer for the graphic novel series El Quest,
but always psychic on the side until
nine. as we watch the towers burn, I turned to my husband and I
said I need to do the psychic work full time. People
need to know their other answers out there. He said, I believe
in you. Go do it. So since then
it's six days a week read a thousand people
(03:41):
a year. Before COVID I was on the road 45
weekends a year because this is what I feel is important
to do.
>> John (03:48):
I love that and I gott give
credit. what you just said you were doing. I'm getting tired
already. I mean that's amazing and I really
appreciate you using your giftsuse. A lot of
people may not doing that, but guess what?
Corby is not only all those things,
okay? She's also an author and she is a
podast. So. Wow.
(04:10):
So you have written a number
of different books.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (04:14):
Three books.
>> John (04:15):
Can you, can you talk about some of these books and
kind of give my Sui friends kind of an
idea of if they would get this book, what
would they'd be looking at?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (04:25):
Okay. The book that they would be
most interested in probably leaning over here
is. I know it's backwards. The Psychic Yellow Brick
Road. How to find the Real wizards and Avoid the flying
Monkeys. Now this book is not written to teach
you how to be a psychic. There are millions of books out there like
that. But this book
(04:46):
was inspired by a 250 person psychic
fair I did in Toronto about 20 years
ago. Now when you have a fair that
big, no matter how good the promoter is, they
can't vent everybody. So there was a
woman walking down the aisles looking at each of the booths and
a fake gypsy runs out of her booth and grabs
(05:06):
her arm. You no need to pay 30ars,
40, $50. I will read your palm for 10. Takes the woman
into the booth. About 15 minutes later a
bunch of us see the woman leaving, crying hysterically.
We run over to see what happened. The gypsy
had told her that there was a family curse
and if she didn't burn 400 specially blessed candles
(05:26):
in the Roman Catholic church and the gypsy would do it
for a dollar a candle, her Entire family was going to die
in a car accident and she bought it.
This book, came from that
specifically to show people what we can do, what
we can't, what questions are appropriate to ask
which aren't red flags when you should get up
(05:47):
and run. And I don't care if
you never come to me if you buy that book and
it keeps you safe no matter which intuitive. If you talked
to then I did my job.
>> John (05:58):
Yeah, I love that.
So that was one of my questions here.
How did you address the skepticism which you
kind of brought up a little bit from clients.
Right. There's going to be. You love it. But why do
you love it, Corby?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (06:14):
Because it means they're not what I call cosmic
muffins. Those are the ones that believe the psych.
Whatever the psychic says it's going to happen and
they don't take charge of their own lives there
people. I have had a woman come up to me and say
okay, I need to sell my house. I need the angels
to tell me what color to paint it, what kind of furniture to put in
it, who I should. And you know, I'm sorry,
(06:36):
but that's you can
get from using your brain. And then they
ask things like well, I know that this person who is cheating on
their taxes should I say anything or will
God make them suffer? Anyway,
please get a clue. So when a
skeptic comes to me, I say
wonderful, sit. And I remind them
(06:59):
that even the best of us are only 85%
accurate. The only one 100% accurate is God.
And God is not doing psychic fears this week. Thank you.
I will usually nail it or hit them with something they
could not know and then they relax. The key
is I take my work seriously.
But me not so much. So there's no
(07:20):
ego balloon for them to puncture.
>> John (07:22):
Yeah's it? Absolutely. Absolutely. And
I bet because I've talked to other mediums and psychics,
I'm guessing you get tell me
lottery numbers. Tell me when my love is going toa come
into my life. Tell me like was my
future hold.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:38):
Yes.
>> John (07:39):
How do you address that?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:40):
When they ask for their lottery numbers, I look at them and
say me first. And anyway, if your
psychic'not driving a Lexus, how do you know they know?
>> John (07:48):
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:49):
Now there are numerology ways of giving
you lucky numbers, but it's not going to make you in the
lottery.
These may be fortunate.
>> John (07:58):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:59):
There is always the does Bruce love me? Question.
Always.
>> John (08:02):
Yes.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (08:05):
So if someone comes to me about that
I have a five Card spread that I do,
the person sitting with me, their love
object, the relationship of the two of them, what they need
to know and best possible outcome. If they then look at me and
say, I still don't know what to do. I do what I call the
three threes. Three cards for status quo. They
(08:26):
just deal with a relationship. Three cards for drawing a
line in the sand. You have to do serious counseling. And three
cards. If they leave now, the key
is their free will means I have to zip it. I may
see that leaving is the right thing to do. But if
she looks at those cards and then goes, I guess I'll st it
out for a while, then I have to let her do that. The
(08:46):
only difference is if she tells me she's being
gasl lit or abused,
then my reader's license goes
in the back and my reverend collar comes on
and I tell her how she can safely get
herself out of a damaging situation.
But other than that, it's her choice.
>> John (09:06):
Yeah, I love it.
So that, that kind of really,
piggybacks into my next question. So kind
of talk to just really a little bit about it right now. But
like, what are your ethical guidelines when
you're providing, readings. Excuse me.
And like, how do you handle the sensitive
situations like grief or trauma?
(09:27):
Because obviously you've had people come to you and say,
oh my God, you know, my, my grandma just
died, my mom just died, my husband just died. I
feel I'm cursed. I feel there's demons. I feel there's
this. I feel there's that. Like, what do you do, Corby?
How do you handle?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (09:43):
Well, I tell them the demons and curses are not my job. But I
do know a couple of people that I send them to. It's
important that any intuitive, it ain't in your wheelhouse, don't take
the money. But because
I am ir. Reverend, I have
dealt with that kind of thing in my own life,
frankly. Three bouts of breast cancer, two divorces,
(10:03):
rape, poverty and abuse, and I'm still floating. I've
seen all of it. So there is nothing
that's going to surprise me. When they
know that, that I will not judge them,
they relax. I also tell my people, don't ask
yes or no questions, ask how, because
that keeps you from the fake gypsies. If
(10:24):
you said to me, is my new business going to
succeed? The fake gypsy would say, oh, there's
a family curse here. You have to burn this candle.
When I teach you to ask how,
then I can do something like my multiple
card entrepreneur Spread card for you, card for the
energy around the business, the brick and mortar location, how to market
it, clients, competition, staff, finances, what you need to
(10:46):
know, best possible outcome, it's
yours to do. I give you directions,
but you have to choose whether you want to follow them.
That's how you can keep your ethics
straight.
>> John (10:59):
Yeah, and I love that because like you're just
talking about the gypsy telling the 400 candles and it's going
to cost us much. That's typically
unfortunately and seeaking to other mediums
and psychics and so on and so forth.
Yeah, that's what they get, you know, and it's a
hard thing to get over with a client because I
(11:19):
talk to, you know, just talking to
me, all the meetings of psychics, including you, I've spoken
to seem very ethical, seem very, have
very high integrity, have been through
stuff ye like you have or
close to it. So they're not
going to try to like if you're making a quick
buck, this isn't the thing to be in for it. Right. If you're trying to
(11:42):
make a quick box, this is like maybe get
something else. Right. If that's, if someone's thinking that. Right.
If someone says that to you.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (11:49):
Yes, ethics are important. You know,
all of this stuff was just landed on me without any
training and it was very clear that the universe wanted me to
do this in service.
So when you realize it's not you,
you're just the tool that spirit is
using. Your ego kind of sits by
the board. But if all you want to do is make the
(12:12):
buck, then you'll make all the claims and you'll
be like every other snake oil salesman. You'll be like the wizard and
the wizard of Oz.
>> John (12:19):
Yeah, absolutely.
So has there ever been a talking to, like I said,
other mediums. One of my favorite stories here,
maybe this has happened to you, is a
woman, kind of like you. She was kind of, you know, giveniving
these gifts and everything like that. And one
day this older man would kept
showing up. She kept seeing this older man and he
(12:41):
would say, please tell my daughter
I'm fine, I'm okay. She, she's
okay. And then she got connected with them and learned a little bit
more and you know, did all these different things and she found out
that down the road
was the woman she was supposed to
talk to. So she kind of, she came in, she
said, you know, it was really awkward conversation. I knocked on the door and
(13:04):
I said, I am Julie. I know you're not
gonna believe this, but it is your father
telling me he's okay. And you know, of
course it was okay who you are, and what's, you know, what's
going on. But eventually they started talking and, you
know, she learned, you know, oh, how'd you know that?
Right? You know, my dad smoked this certain brand of
(13:24):
cigar or he drank this certain beer or
whatever. But have you ever had that? Have you ever had a
spirit reach out to you, whether good or bad,
and say, like, could you tell
this person that I knowbe it'a good
about?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (13:39):
Because that is the agreement I have with my guides.
There are too many psychics who do
that when it's not welcome. I call that a drive
by psychic shooting. That's the kind of fake
stuff on Long Island Medium where she
walks up to a stranger in the grocery store
and gives him a dire message that's all
fake because legally
(14:02):
her PR team has to go and scout out all the
grocery stores and pick one. They have to talk to the
regional manager. I have to interview
the supposed guests and have them
sign legal model releases. And then
they'rehearse it six times. But a lot of people
think that is the way you're supposed to do it,
(14:22):
and it's not. and I'll give you a good example. Most of your
listeners probably have heard of Lilydale, which is an
amazing spiritualist community in western New
York. It's world famous. People who
are from Lilydale, if they had a
message, would walk up to this woman and say,
excuse me, but my name is Reverend
Sam and I am from Lilydale. I
(14:44):
believe I have a message for you. May I come to
you? Those are the magic words. May I come to you?
And if the person says yes, they will deliver the
message. But if the person says no, they
nod and they walk away, knowing spirit will get the
information to this person in a way they are willing to
receive it. It's never a. I
have to tell you this by anybody
(15:06):
ethical?
>> John (15:08):
Yeah. Interesting. That's really
interesting.
So let me ask you this then. When you
are talking to, let's say, spirits guys or
spirits or however you want to phrase it, like, what are some of the
common challenges you face
when connecting with? Is there anything you
do differently? Or like I said, is there any times
(15:29):
you just had a real challenge?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (15:31):
well, always, Always there are times when
you will read for someone and they'll tell you that you're
wrong and you know you will be right. The example
I use is a woman I read at a place where I
went every three times a year. And I saw a
couple of challenges for her, which I told her about, and
she got up, she insulted me, and she walked away. well, okay,
(15:51):
fine. The next time I was in that area,
she was the first person to sit down, and she acknowledged
that she had been really rude last time
because I had told her that
I saw her taking in a border,
and then she was probably going to want to sell her house, and she
said that was. But then my daughter moved
(16:11):
home because she was pregnant. And now
I'm going to sell my house to raise my grandson. And
I still don't like you, but I want to know what else you see.
You know, don't shoot the messenger.
Yeah, but for the rest of it, no, it's
easiest for me
with mediumship because I don't fish.
(16:32):
I go after specifics. For instance,
my father, Harold
Markham McAllister, who died in
2014 at the age of 80. If somebody gives
me that information, that pushes me
right into them, and I will then tell
them everything I see. And my guides do place yourades.
(16:52):
They smoked, they had surgery, there was an
accident. Sometimes I'll get pet phrases, sometimes
I'll get gestures, but it
has to be anywhere between four and six.
Oh, my God, you couldn't know that. Things. Then
I open up the door and they talk directly
to their person. I tell them exactly what they're saying. I
(17:12):
mean, there are things like.
There was a man who wanted to speak to his father who had died
three months before, and I said, I'm getting a big red
bow tie, and it's velvet.
And he immediately broke down because
that was the tie that his father wore. Excuse me,
with his tux that had been presented to the
sun a couple of weeks before at
(17:34):
Christmas. You know, that's not. It's
vague. It's a rose. He loves you.
>> John (17:40):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (17:40):
So those are the kinds of things when I get them. With
mediumship. Yes. We know that we're getting the right person.
>> John (17:46):
Yeah. So when you are
preparing for, ah, reading Corby, like,
is there something you need to
do before or after the session? once
you're. Once you're talking to that person.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (17:59):
Actually, I've been doing this for so long,
my guides are always here by
wingman. I refer to them that way because they were
pilots when we were all pilots in a war a hundred years
ago, and we all flew together. So
there they are. It's a matter of making sure that the
person with me is comfortable when you sit with
me. first thing I'm going to say to you is,
(18:22):
what's the most important thing you want to walk out of here knowing?
Because I do so many different things. I don't want to spend
time on tarot and telling you about your
life. If what is really bothering you
is I have this obsession or phobia
that I can't get out of my mind. And that's a past life thing,
I want to go and do the past life stuff first. I'm
fast. I tell people when they first sign up
(18:45):
to have a reading with me, do not buy more than half an
hour because you won't need it.
And 95% of the time I'm right.
So it's important that the person is comfortable,
that they know they're heard and they know that I respect
what their questions are.
>> John (19:01):
Yeah, yeah.
And that kind of reminds me of you re you're kind of talking about this a little
bit, but how do you, like, discern
between a person's own thoughts and the
messages coming through from a spirit? Couldn't that
be a little confusing for you when you, when you're doing a
reading?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (19:19):
No, because when they want me to get a spirit guide,
literally, you know, it's, if you will, turn on that part of my
brain. And the guides I get
are pretty specific. So
that's. And they're different from your dead person when
it is a past life.
I think I've only gotten that somebody was a
(19:39):
famous person three times and they weren't like, you know,
Frank Sina Notch or something. One of them was Mercy
Otis Warren, who was best friends with Abigail
Adams during the Revolutionary War. One person was
Nellie Bly, who was a very
famous investigative journalist at the beginning of the
20th century. And I hadn't seen a
picture of the person that I was reading.
(20:01):
But I found out later you put her picture in Nellie Bly's picture
together and they were twins. And,
my favorite story on that is there was a woman
who loved black and white photography.
Everyone tried to get her to do color, but it was black and white.
And what I discovered is she was someone called
Jacob Res R I I s And if
(20:21):
you've ever seen those turn of the 20th
century Tenement pictures in New York and
Boston that are so ye, that
was Jacob Priese and she had done those pictures.
So she now has a very thriving business
where she lives because she went with what she
knew, which is black and white
photography. But now she understands why.
>> John (20:44):
Interesting. Yeah, exactly. And that's kind of
staying on the topic a little Bit.
Could you explain Corby,
your. How would you explain
spirit guides? Because one thing I've noticed from talking to
all different people, they all have. I wouldn't say different views of
it, but, you know, how would you explain to
someone, you know, who says, I don't have a spirit guy? What
(21:06):
are you talking about? You know what?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (21:08):
I would look at them and smile and say, you think you're smart enough to get
it all done on your own?
>> John (21:12):
No.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (21:13):
We have pee brains. So everybody's got at
least one guardian angel that's with us from birth to death.
But our spirit guides grow and change as we do. I
talk about by Wingman. They were my first
spirit guides. I now work with a higher
level angel. But everybody's
got guides, and they can be
(21:34):
dead humans, ets,
animal guides, energy signatures, avatars,
angels. Generally, whatever
I get for them will make sense to them.
And they have conversations with the guides so they
understand what they're here to do and why.
>> John (21:51):
Yeah. Yeah. And that's really interesting because
I found out I have four spirit
guys. I thought that was really, really
interesting. Now, here's something. I'm not trying to make
light of it or anything like that, but for about
a. It'about three or four years in a row,
I just had the worst things happen to
me. Like, I was in a car accident.
(22:14):
I almost, My wife and I almost got divorced.
My kids were sick. I was sick. Like, all
this stuff, one after another after another after another
after another, right? And I'm not complaining. Cause I
came through it. I'm a survivor. My family's the survivor.
But there are times of weakness where I
go, hey, where were you guys? Or women
(22:34):
or avatars or angels. Like, I'm
suffering. Like, I was thinking. I was so
depressed, Corby, that I thought about taking
my own life. And I've been totally forthright
with people because, people who listen to this podcast, if
they. If they. Maybe they're at that level, right?
Or at that point in their life where they're like, why,
(22:54):
you know, everything doesn't work out. And you tell me I've
scared guys. Like, I don't get it.
Like, why't they?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (23:01):
They're not here to save you from karma. They
are not here to save you from life lessons,
okay? They're
here for specific things. There was
a car accident where I should have died.
But basically, black ice under
snow overcorrected the car, took down a tree, a
(23:21):
telephone pole, flipped the car, electrical wires
on it. I wasn't Wearing a seatbelt. I walked out with a couple of
bruises. That's a spirit guide. That's an
angel. Because it was not my time to
go. I had work to do.
But if in your pre birth planning session,
which touches on the work I did with Robert Schwartz,
you decide that you are
(23:44):
going to have a situation with a very
dysfunctional family and an alcoholic mother
and a father who doesn't defend you, and this sets
up a tipping point where you can go
in two directions. Either you've got the lesson or
you didn't. Your spirit guides will not
interfere because this is what
your higher selfare soul has set up
(24:06):
as learning for this lifetime.
Also, looking at the divorce thing, you don't
know. Were you with your wife in another life?
Were you even same gender, same
relationship? Did you have an unbalanced energy
that needs realignment this time?
Karma is not just bad and good. Karma is five things.
(24:26):
Healing, service, contrast, unbalanced energy and healing
of beliefs.
>> John (24:32):
yeah, see that's what I've been hearing that gott
make sense. So my question then
is, then again, if a client comes to you
and is seeking answers, because I'm sure you have
this again, like we talked about all the time about a
specific event or person. But let's say
that spirit isn't ready to communicate for
(24:52):
whatever reason, how do you handle that? and you know, how do you keep the
person there and get frustrated? Like if they want to talk
to.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (24:58):
A dead person and I can't get them, I remind
them that we're only
85% accurate and the dead
person has a choice whether to connect or not.
It could be that I'm just not the right medium. It could be
that they are doing something on the astral. Could
be that they know that contacting their
(25:19):
live person isn't good. I mean, there are some people
that always come to me and want to talk to their same
dead person all the time and that is not
healthy. So after about three
times I kind of just say, okay, we're done.
You know, I'm like a good bartender. I cut them off
because, the, the dead person is dead and has
gone on to do other things and they have to learn to
(25:41):
go and do other things while they are still
on earth. Sometimes you have to
do a little tough love.
>> John (25:49):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with that fullly.
Because again, some of it is moving on.
I know people inlosure or whatever you want to call it,
and I know it's hard. You know, when my mom died,
she was a Very important part of
the family. Extremely important. Like, everyone
loved my mom and it was just really hard when she
(26:10):
left, just knowing, you know, I told everybody, I said, my
mom's still here. She's still guiding us and
everything, because I know she is. Because that's the kind of my mom
gave of herself first. She put people in front
of her at a cost. I felt, yes,
yes. But that's the way person
she was. And I totally. I still feel her
(26:30):
spirit, and I feel everything about her when I'm
thinking through things or going through things. I know my mom
is. She's like, okay, everything's me, okay kind of
attitude, not talking to me that way, but the
feeling I get. Right. Ye s kind of a difference.
Yes. Yeah.
so here's the thing that this might be
an interesting question for you because I always get interesting
(26:53):
answers. So what is
yourior're reverend and everything? What is
your personal belief system about
the afterlife? And how is that. How does that
influence your mediumship or your
be IR reverent or just all the things in your life?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (27:10):
Well, one of the first things I do is I ask people,
give your dead person 90 days to get up
there, sign the guest register, unpack the
bag, get the tour. Because it is important
that they have the time to do their life
review. Now, the life review is
simply that everything good you ever did in your life,
you relive it. And you get to
(27:32):
feel what other people felt when you
did it for them, whether it was gratitude or
surprise or whatever. Also,
when you have to review the things you did that were
negative, you must feel the sorrow,
the anger, the rage, the bewilderment, as if it
was done to you. That's what hell is. But when you're done,
(27:53):
you're done. And then the spirit
goes on to decide. Doesn it t want to
reincarnate? Does it want to do further work
on the astral? What does it want to do?
And so if we're constantly badgering them
in that initial period, it's like
the little kid that keeps tugging onto mommy's coat,
(28:13):
it distracts them, is it's not a loving thing to
do. So that's how I explain
that when
people do come back to visit. my father was a wonderful doctor.
And sometimes when I do a medical
reading, he'll come in. What he
comes in with is his compassion,
(28:33):
his humor, his wonderful medical
incisive knowledge. But
the less than good qualities, you know,
anxiety, things like that, that served a purpose
when he was in the body, they're nowhere to be found. They were
completely done away with once he crossed
over. So the soul is all the good things we
(28:53):
are, the personality are all the things that we
have to learn with, but they're not the best things
in the world and they get dumped when we
die.
>> John (29:02):
Yeah. So what do you do to a client
who says basically, oh, we're just food for
worms. There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is
no Valhalla, there is no Schangeera. Come
on, Corby, we're food for workm.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (29:16):
You may be right. We won't know until we get
there. All I know is that I have had enough
experiences that for me, that doesn't ring
truth. There's no sense in
trying to argue with them or get them to believe your sight because they
just don't want to. So, you know, basically by
shorthand is to smile at them and say, well, blessings on your
journey.
>> John (29:36):
Yeah, I love that.
And one of the things that I know a lot of people struggle with
and I guess this is kind of, I don't know, you dealing
with philosophy and things like that. But like,
how do I be a good person? How do I know? Like,
I, I used to a real religious person.
Very religious, kind of gone away from
that, to be honest with you. Because I'm more into free will in deciding
(29:58):
things because I can't be a good person all the
time. There arenna be times I screw up.
I mean, I say dumb things
that make people angry with me. But
is that gonna stop me from getting,
I don't know to where, wherever that is
at a good place. I mean, how do, how do you
(30:18):
deal with that if people are like, I can't do that, Are you
crazy?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (30:22):
We are down here to learn. Because there is
a lot you can learn in this duality
dimensional body that you can't learn
upstairs. Robert Schwartz uses the idea of the white
room. If you walk into a white room,
white curtains, white carpet, white
furniture, a penna with only white keys, you're wearing
(30:43):
white, you have no idea what purple is.
Eskimos have 250 words for snow, not one
for palm trees. We come down here with the
ability to makeote unquote mistakes so
we can learn, so we can see the
duality. So, you know, the other
way I explain it is when people are saying, well, is this religion
(31:03):
right? Or that one God owns the grocery store, he
does not care if you come in through the floors, the deli, or health and
beauty aids, just get in there. We
figure out religion
because we need to have something.
But when you think about the fact that we are
just 8 billion little cockroaches
(31:24):
on the surface of this insignificant
planet in an insignificant solar system
at the bad end of a mediocre
galaxy, you realize
we cannot possibly
understand the smallest thing about God. So a lot of
people make up, you know, well, he's a magic donkey in this guy.
(31:45):
You know, sure, I tell
people I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, or believe
in Ralph the Wonder Doog. I don't. Just know that somebody
up there loves you, wants the best for you and is willing to work with you.
That's all you need.
>> John (31:58):
Yeah, I love that message. That is a great
message.
So have you ever though, kind of sticking
with this? Have you ever like
declined to answer a question if you feel it's
not appropriate to share the information from a
spirit with a client?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (32:15):
No, but what I will not do is what I call remote
spying. That's when let's say John and
Mary are dating. They can ask about each other with
me when they're dating. If they break up, John
cannot ask about Mary, Mary cannot ask about John because
then it is intruding. So
the example I give is a woman who came to me and said,
(32:36):
I want to know where my husband is sleeping with his mistress. I said,
I'm sorry, I don't do remote spying. Well, can you tell me
how many people he slept with? No, I don't do remote
spe. Boy, you're worthless. Well, is he sick? Is he going
to die and leave me his money? At which point
I just said, I'm sorry, Mrs. McAllister, we're not
connecting. And she got up and left and you know, I gave
(32:56):
her her money back, but. Because
that's part of the ethical thing, that's part of having your
boundaries.
>> John (33:03):
Yeah, absolutely. I love that. Because
again, like you soc corby, I mean, you're
only 80. Would you say 85%? Corackct.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (33:12):
Even the best of us are only 85%.
>> John (33:14):
you, good day, Whatever you want to say. Right.
And there's two. I don't know. Life is so random to
me now. I know I've had arguments with philosophers and
everything. I feel life is
completely random because there's some things in my
life like I always use the example going to
work. Okay, so going to work. You don't know. First
of all, if you're gonna wake up, right, you could die in your
(33:36):
sleep. That could happen. Hopefully doesn't could.
And then when you get out of bed, let's say you stub your toe
on the bed frame. Okay, that sucks. And then you get in
the shower and your hot water heaters out. So
you took a cold shower. Then you try to start your car, your
car won't start. And you get to work late and your
boss fires you. Because whatever reason.
(33:57):
So I'm like. Part of that I
understand is like, how can you, how can someone say like,
well, that's gonna happen to you next week, John Gotn do
this, this, this, Right. I just find that
fascinating.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (34:10):
Well, the thing is, I agree with you about free will. But
remember also, we do come in with a
pre birth plan. The way I explain that is
that's like choosing your college major. It's going to be a
physics major, but you can get through
college taking gut courses or double major
plus lab. That's free will. You can either do the smart
(34:30):
thing or the dumb thing, but either way
you are going to die having learned what your spirit guide
wanted you to know, what your soul wanted you to know. So you'll
graduate with your degree. Depends on how rough you want to
make it. But that's why when people
say but I thought we have free will and you're talking about pre
birth planning. I say yes, we have both.
>> John (34:52):
Yeah, I like that. Ah. and I think that's
very much true. I think that's you know, something that
I've kind of seen.
speaking of that, just a, ah, personal thing that I'm
kind of curious about and you know, again, I'm a little
naive on it. This is why I have you on the show. One
of the things, I don't know if you steal or
you even at all deal with aura. And let
(35:14):
me explain this M is always I thought was
weird about me. And I'm sure it's about other people too.
Like I will meet people and I will connect with
them like that. I mean it was just, hey, like
we've been together for 10 years. And then other
people I will meet Torby
and they do not like for whatever
(35:34):
reason and they give me like dirty
looks. They, you know, and I try to get to know them and
everything. They want't have anything to do with me. And I know
this is a really silly question, but
why does that happen? I don't
understand.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (35:49):
It is not your or it'personality it
happens with all of us. All right? What you were the
first that you were talking about is what I call a click and lock.
Friendship. And it's Very possible that these were people that we
did know in a past life or we arranged
to meet in this one when we were planning what we
were going to do down here. And there are some people
that your souls may be
(36:11):
fine with each other, but their personalities are, like
this. All my life I have been a charismatic.
That means I walk into a room
3ft before I walk into a room.
That's why I was a professional actress. It's just my
nature. And some people adore that. And some people,
it just rubs in the wrong way. Even when I
(36:32):
haven't said anything to them, I'm just me.
So that's one of the reasons that
you can't have an ego that depends on
how other people view you, because that will
set you up for failure every single time. You're
just. You absolutely do what you need to do.
>> John (36:50):
Yeah, absolutely. And I know this sounds corny, but I say
this all the time. It. You have to love yourself first.
You. You know, like, that's one thing I learned. Like, some people
o so and so doesn't like me, and
it really bugs me. So I'mnna go out and buy them lunch
or I'm gonna go and, you do do
something active, random act of kindness, which is fine.
(37:11):
You can do that. But I'm like, they don't
like you. Why are you trying to, like, no,
just be yourself. I'm. I'm a weird
guy and I'm a nerdy guy, and
that's who I am. And I say I
have a very dark humor, and that's the way I am.
And I'm notnna change. So. And people who, have been
friends with me for years and who have just become new
(37:34):
friends, they're like, you know, they'll tell.
People'll be like, yeah, he's a little weird, but he's a really nice
guy. He's a good guy. You'll like. You know what I mean?
I think that's really hard for someone
coming to you who'sin might say to you, like,
corby, how do I change myself? Like, I don't really.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (37:51):
First thing I would say is, why do you believe you need
to change?
>> John (37:55):
Yeah, right.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (37:56):
See, that'that's part of the reverend thing,
because when we harshly judge ourselves like
that, we need to ask ourselves what I call the three
most important questions in the world. What are my ex about?
X is whatever emotion you're having, why am my X
about that? And the question we never ask. What do
I think would happen if I stopped being X about
that. So what are you upset about?
(38:19):
People seem to be weirded out by my
personality. Why does that upset you? And then we go
through it, and then finally it's, what do you think would
happen if you stopped being upset with how people react to
you? M and that opens up your ability to
change.
>> John (38:35):
That's interesting. So one of the things,
yeah, like I said, I love this because I think what's
really good is for people to understand
is if you're going to change,
you know, maybe you want to look at it first. Rightus. Maybe you're not
changing for the right reasons. There are certain things you might want to change.
Like, well, I want to lose 20 pounds or I wantn
(38:56):
question. That's a different thing than changing
personality, right? That's a whole different thing.
But to change, like you said, who you are asking those
questions are great.
So let me ask you this. One of the things I hear,
too, is a lot of like.
And I'm gonna switch topics here, but I know this might sound,
maybe you don't get this, maybe you do. But, like, for
(39:18):
example, let's use extraterrestrials, all right? Because I've
talked to mediums about extraterrestrial, and we're seeing that more and
more, right? The government has come out and said, Yep, we got
UFOs. And basically everyone just went back to their cell
phone and went, I don't care. It didn't
have the effect that people thought it was going to be.
However, if there's
extraterrestrials in here, whether you're spirit guide or
(39:41):
whether they're actually physically here,
I'm just curious, like, what do you
think they want? Like, I've
heard everything to helping us becoming a better
planet, to destroying
us. and, like, where's the in between? I guess.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (39:58):
Well, you have to realize, if they are actually getting
here from wherever they are, they are far more advanced than we
are. They are. And we are probably coming
across like Neanderthals to them, especially right
now, destroying our planet. The constant
wars, the arguments between
human and human. So they
(40:18):
may observe us and they may want to help
us, or they may simply, as the meme goes,
you know, lock their doors and take off. We
all would love to think that it's like in Star tre
First Contact where the Vulalkans ship lands
and shakes hands with Zeprom
conference, but that
probably is not going to be the case because we're not that
(40:40):
advanced emotionally. We
cannot bring to an
ET anything of value. Not
yet.
>> John (40:52):
So okay. One of the things I look at it like
is, like, with my children, when they were
bor. For example, my, My son and my daughter,
okay, I looked at them like
they were not a vessel. But you know that I
get to be like, I can teach them to be good. I can
teach them to be strong. I can teach them to be
(41:12):
a good person. Whatever you want to say, right? Whatever I
decide to put upon this,
child, or human being or whatever you want to
say. Don't you think aliens would think
about that? They'll be like. And that's why I know this
sounds weird, but like, I always,
abductions, we don't have to get into that whole different
thing. But, like, wouldn't you think they would want toa, like,
(41:34):
bring a group of us in and be like, okay,
you guys are screwing this up. Let's figure.
And I'm being like, a little playful.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (41:43):
Would we need to do that with an
animal? We are no different from them
than dumb animals.
>> John (41:51):
But we do train apes and dogs and
horses. You know what I'm saying?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (41:56):
We do train them, but we don't train them to
be more aware,
more a member of the universe.
We use them.
>> John (42:06):
that's tr.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (42:07):
The way you talk about your child. You're the same species,
you're humans with them,
you know, and we don't know what they look like. We don't even
know if they have bodies. would
we necessarily want to
have massive conversations with a
dandelion? You know, it's a totally different
(42:29):
thing.
>> John (42:29):
Ye.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (42:30):
So are there other beings out
there? Of course. Remember what I said about this massive
universe? Do they care about us? No.
Are they interested in us? I don't
think so. It would be lovely if it was
like Star Trek. I mean, I do Star Trek rather than Star
wars, but I don't think so. I think we're far
too peritive a planet to be, of any interest
(42:53):
to them whatsoever. We haven't even made it out to the next
planet yet.
>> John (42:57):
Yeah.
So can I get on a different tangent here about Star
Trek? I have two of the most fascinating
episodes. I think it was written very well and, you know
people. I believe Arthur C. Clark wrote on the
episodes. I'm trying to think of the other Isaac, asm
maybe There was a number of scientists who wrote
these episodes or help write them. And one of my favorite
(43:17):
episodes was, and I can't remember the title, so please excuse
me for that, but there was a planet
where nobody got disease, nobody got sick,
and everyone just kept living and they came
to the leader of the planet,
came to Kirk and
said, we, you know, we have to
(43:37):
do something. Look at our planet. It's overpopulated.
We can't continue to feed them, we can't continue.
Whatever. You guys got to go in there
basically and, well,
kill them. You know, again, I'm being a little
playful, but, you know, they had to introduce some type of
biohazard or some type of disease to kill.
(43:58):
And do you ever wonder about something like
that where, like you said, about our planet,
where we're, overpopulated? I think'eight billion
people on this planet. Do you ever think aliens look at that and
ever go, yeah, maybe we
should do something about that? Or does it
still. Nah, they don't care.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (44:17):
Prime, directive now, remember, with
But.
>> John (44:20):
Kirk, the original series, many times
with.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (44:23):
The original series that was developed in the
1960s. You take that same
idea in the 1980s with
Picard, and what they would have done is
not said, sure, let's kill some, but
let us resettle you on another planet. We
had grown. So there was that.
(44:44):
There's no telling. There is no telling. but first of
all, notice that Kirk was
able to speak perfectly fine English to the people
on planet yet, or whatever it was. I don't know
that the aliens are kind of coming in with a universal
translator.
>> John (45:00):
Yeah, that would be really helpful for
everybody, wouldn't it?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (45:04):
It wouldn.
>> John (45:06):
So let's talk a little bit about personal growth
here and how you can help people. One of the
things I, want to start with is when
someone come, maybe they ask you, and
maybe you're not the one they want toa be with
for whatever reason. Doesn't really matter. How do you advise
someone to pick a good. What do you want to say?
(45:26):
Medium, psychic, however you want to pray? How do
you tell that person? Like, here's the checklist coming in
your book a little bit, right?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (45:33):
That's right. The first two chapters of the psyche Calibri wrote
are just about that. What I will do to
shorten it is I'll give you the example of what I
tell people. When you go into a psychic fair and you want
a reading, but you don't know any of the people there. I
laughingly tell people, you all have to be good puppies.
First thing you have to do is you have to do your walkies, which
(45:54):
means you go around and you look at everybody there. You
don't have to talk to them or interact, but you'll get a
feel for. Do they feel like snake Oil salesmen or do
they look like they know what they're doing?
Then you go and get
paper drained. What does that mean? We all have
flyers, rack cards, business cards. You pick
(46:14):
up one from anybody that you are interested in and
you go and you sit down because there are always areas to do
that and read through them.
There will be three or four that you're interested in.
Go back and talk to them. If
they're busy, you'll talk to their front people.
These are people we hire to give you the information,
(46:34):
take the money, etc. But remember, we hire these
people to say they love us. And
the joke I tell true is my very
first front person
was my husband's office manager when he was
a museum director. Now,
do you think that on the weekend she's going to Diss Mrs.
Museum Director? No, she's not.
(46:57):
But we all do have testimonial books on
our tables and these are comments from people that
have had readings and you go through and
read several of them. Are we funny? Are
we kind? Are we accurate? Do we
have specialties? Children, dogs, dead people?
Would they come back? But the last thing is
(47:17):
check in at heart level. You are putting your heart earned
money on the table. If the psychic doesn't feel like they have
a brain in their head, they really care about what they're
doing or they're going to give you good information.
Don't go there. No matter how cool
the WikiOO looks on the table and if nobody there
rings your chimes, leave without a reading, there will
be someone else somewhere else.
>> John (47:40):
I love that. I love that.
So let me ask you two. One of the things
that a lot of people want to know because, and
I'm not going to get into the details of stuff, let s like chakra
points and there's third eye and there's this and there's that
and whatever. But, one of the biggest things I think for
health, especially mental health, as well as physical health,
is like, is there a way? And I, and I
(48:02):
know this is not trying to put you on the spot, Corby,
but is there a way someone can
improve their physical mentor mental
energy for better health? Is there meditation?
What would you reciteommag?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (48:15):
That's like saying, do you believe in food?
You know, there's a million ways to
eat things to eat. Whether it's an intuitive
counselor, which is what we are, or a medical
intuitive or a pastor, whatever
it is, yes, you can improve.
Now, are there things like mental illness?
(48:36):
Yes, there are. And I am not A
psychoanalyst. So there are. Sometimes
I just tell people this is outside my wheelhouse.
And that's one of the important things
that a good intuitive will do
when it's not in their wheelhouse. For instance, if you came to me
with a serious illness, y. That's
(48:56):
not my specialty, I would say, yes, go see
your doctor. But I would send you
to my friend Stacy Wells, whom I consider one
of the best medical intuitives in the US she can
literally look inside the DNA of the body.
She has seen brain tumors people have missed. She saw my
cancer before the doctors did. So she
is someone that you go to now. You take
(49:19):
that information and you go and talk to your
physician. You do not say the psychic said
that. But
an example of something that I did
early was I saw someone
who had a grayness here. And I said, you know, why don't you just go get
your lungs checked just in case it's just something there. And it turned
out what they had was Lou Gehrig's disease, als.
(49:42):
And five years later his widow came to me and said, we're
so grateful that you told us to go see the doctor because
they caught it very early and we had four very good years
before he passed. But as
far as the mental stuff goes, well, I
have several books that I suggest.
My two favorites are To Love Us to be happy with
(50:04):
and Happiness is a Choice by a guy named Barry Neal
Kaufman. Those are the books that got me through three buts of breast
cancer, two divorces, in the death of my parents.
So there are books that will help you. Radical
Forgiveness by colon tipping Radical
Forgiveness is not I forgive
you and you can do it again. It's. I am totally
(50:24):
unlocking and throwing away the energy from this.
You can too. So there are
books that I recommend. No intuitive is going to have
all the answers. They should, however, have
a good toolbox that they can hand you and
say, this might be useful.
Notice I didn't say this might work, but this might
be useful.
>> John (50:46):
Right? Exactly. Exactlyuse. There is
no everybody wants to quick
in the box. Open it,
right? It's like take the pill.
Boom. You're 100% right.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (51:00):
And, if that's what you want. I am not your girl.
>> John (51:03):
Yeah. And I love that. And you shouldn't be because that's.
You're not you firstr are. You're not learning anything on your
journey. You know, there are some people. Whatever
you want to say, maybe you're blessed more than other people and you can
get into all different things why? Or something.
But you know, I just, I don't
think you learn anything. I know, it sounds funny, but like,
(51:23):
I don't think you know love until you have heartbreak.
Now maybe that's a bad way of looking at it, but that's
my opinion. Like until something you love,
a person, whatever, pet
dies or something bad happens, you
learn what love is. Rather than you just kind of go, I
love Jim. Like,
(51:43):
okay, I don't know, I just always feel
that going down your life's path, if you want to call it
that, you have to have some bumps or
something like that.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (51:53):
That's just another example of the white room.
If you don't have grief, sadness, you won't understand
joy.
>> John (52:00):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. I totally
agree.
No, one thing is to with
your books. Is there anything in your books?
Because this is always. I go back and forth and I have
a feeling you're gonna corby what your answer is. But
I've read a lot of self help books, not a lot of, a lot of other
books that you know, just learn in general.
(52:21):
But one of the things that I always go back
and forth with people is about manifestation.
Like you look at it, you write it down. You, you
know, Tesla talked about this. Nicholas Tesla told body
was nine, six, nine. Like in the morning, you write down
nine times what your what, six in the afteroon. Nine.
And I believe that's it. Ah. What is your feeling on that?
(52:42):
When people come to you and they're like, I'm going to try
manifestation and you agree
or disagree with
party guys.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (52:52):
You know, why would I tell somebody
that that what they want to do they shouldn't do.
It's not my life. You know, you talk about self
help books. That was my first one
called clean out your life closet. Clarity, adaptability,
simplicity and making friends was stressed.
But I wrote it
to kind of be the anti self help book because I remember
(53:15):
the first paragraph of the first
self help I bought when I was 13. This is 1968,
so excuse the language. Judy has a groovy
wardrobe, her makeup is fab and her hair is far
out. But nobody likes Judy because Judy's fat.
In that one paragraph, hundreds of thousands of American
teenage girls were told everything they are.
Everything they did was worthless unless they were skinny.
(53:37):
And that's the damage that self help books do.
But with mine,
each chapter is here's some of the dumb things I did.
Maybe here's a client'story here'some suggestions.
But at the end of each chapter I have what I
call the adventure pages and there are questions for you to
answer. But you can't turn
(53:58):
to page 18 and find the answers. You have
to look at your own life.
It's the only thing that will work.
So let's take a look at the
chapter on how perfect destroy good. What did I ask
you? Where do you beat yourself up most
often? Why reimagine one of
those times with the idea that good can triumph over
(54:20):
perfect. What does it look like now?
How would your life change if you stopped
thinking perfection was the only correct response to
a project or a situation?
When you realize you've got your own answers,
then you're not going to be a victim. You'll be a
volunteer and you can change your mind in an
instant.
>> John (54:43):
Ye, again, I'm
just blown away everything which you've said tonight. Cor because
I think it's a great balance
all.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (54:52):
Thank you.
>> John (54:53):
So I'mnn give you two. I'mnna give you two words
here. I'mn to tell me, you tell me what you think. First word
is happiness.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:02):
Happiness is peace within.
>> John (55:06):
So if someone says I have peace
within, but I don't have
the house, the car, whatever. If you're
ever and you don't have.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:17):
Peace within because you're longing for something.
>> John (55:19):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:20):
Pie within. Is that
grounded, centered?
I'm good the way I am and now I can choose where else I'm going
to go. But if it's I have peace,
but then you don't.
>> John (55:33):
Okay, so that's my next question. The
word is satisfied.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:39):
There's a difference between satisfied and content.
>> John (55:42):
Okay.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:43):
Satisfied is. Yeah, for
now. It's good. Content is a deep
appreciation for what you have.
Satisfied as I'm satisfied now, but will I be
satisfied later? Content is the
present moment.
>> John (55:59):
O yeah. See that? I love that. I
absolutely love that.
So before we wrap up, what would you say
to a person who is, like
I said, maybe going whether
their life is going the way they want it or
not, or whatever they're looking for.
What would you say to a person that kind of, you know,
(56:20):
before they decide whether it's therapy?
Maybe speaking to a reverend may like yourself
or medium or intuitive like yourself,
what would you tell them? What should they do
first before they even take that out?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (56:36):
Realize that you are your own best expert.
We can help, but you are the one who will have to
make the decision about changes.
That none of us are gurus. Maybe
we're mentors. A
mentor pushes you a little further than you think
you can go. Kicks you out of the nest a little
(56:56):
before you think you're ready, but will sit in the audience
and applaud you for being better at what they do
than they are. Example, Meryl Streep
with her Oscar thanking her drama professors at
Yale.
You've got your own answers, kid. We can help you find
them. But you've got the answers.
>> John (57:18):
I love that. and, you know, I think
that's what people have trouble
with. You know, they're like, what do you mean, I have the answers? If I had
the answers, I wouldn't be talking to you.
But you so eloquently put
it, is you're helping them.
You, like, you got. It's right in front of you. You're just not seeing it
(57:38):
right. S. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever that is.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (57:41):
I can hold up the mirror, but you can close your
eyes or not.
>> John (57:46):
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think,
again, being open to that and being
receptive of that, and knowing
change is a big thing. And nobody likes change,
let's be honest. Nobody wants to be told
they have to change. And, there's sometimes,
you know, fine, you don't have to change. Like you said,
Corby, like, you can totally fine, don't
(58:08):
change. That's totally up to you.
So this has been a great KE talk you for hours.
I wish I could. and, you
also, I forgot to mention you have a
podcast. Are you still doing that?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (58:21):
Did. Now, what I do most is Tik
Tock, because there's always a video there every
day. It's under the no bullshit psychic. And
it's not just telling fortunes every day at all.
It's very much the kind of talks that we had to keep
people going during tough times, how to
realign and review things.
(58:41):
And I must be doing something right. I've got 15,000
followers in two months. Who knew?
>> John (58:47):
Yeah, that's. Of course you do,
because everything you said tonight makes total sad to
me.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (58:53):
Thank you.
>> John (58:53):
And I hope to other people, too, knowing
again what's going on with your life
and your spirit guides and things you can do
to change to help yourself.
Right, so as we wrap up
here, what do you have going on, Corby,
that my spookie friends can look forward to not only looking
at your books and, Tik Took, but what else do you have?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (59:16):
Well, I do rare psychic fairs
these days, but there is one coming up
Saratoga Springs in late April. That's the Mind Bodyd
Soul Expo. But these days,
I love interacting with people.
Every Thursday night, 7:30, New York time, if
you're on TikTok.
(59:36):
Thursdays are either free reading hours or
alternate Cafe Corby. And Cafe
Corby is when we all hang out. And you
can, it's not a reading situation. You can ask
me anything you want about metaphysics,
spirituality, psychic work, and you can even ask about
me if you want. And so they
alternate free reading Cathe Corby. Free reading Cathe
(59:57):
Corby. But I'm always there Thursday nights at
7:30.
>> John (01:00:01):
Please check that out. I know I am.
we even got like again like I said,
we talk about ours. Cause we didn't get into like spirituality and
metaphysics like you said. I mean that's a who
different area, a whole different podcast. But I love
it, I love it. So thank you so much for
taking time out of your schedule. to join me on
(01:00:22):
my podcast and you know, to all my spooky friends out
there, go check Corby's, all her sites
out, go to her website where most of her
stuff is. and yeah, like she said she's on
TikTok and everything, all the different things she's doing. Please
reach out to her. One question though, I do have to ask just to
make sure. If someone wants to reach out to you
personally, what's the best way to reach out
(01:00:44):
to you?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:00:45):
Best thing to do personally is reach out to me on my website. There
is a way to contact me there with any questions they
have.
>> John (01:00:52):
Love it. Love it. Well again, thank you
so much. I know I took a lot from this and then like I
said, there's so many things I've learned. That's me.
I love asking questions. That's why I have this podcast.
I've interviewed so many different people and I've learned
so much about the world and everything and I can't
say enough. This was, this was awesome. So thank you
(01:01:13):
again and you know, hopefully we'll see you around. Maybe we'll
have you on again. I did, last year I did
a medium roundtable which was a ton of
fun. I had mediums from all over the world
and we just talked about their craft and we just had just
niceions that it was just, it was
really fun. It was just everyone had different points of view
and everybody. It wasn't like turning into any
(01:01:35):
arguments at all either. Everybody was just like let me try that or oh,
that's really interesting. Well this is what I think. Everybody's like
totally open and it was very neat. One of the best
podcasts I did. All right, well thank you Corby. And
again, you know, please reach out. You know, get
the help you need. And, like, you know, Corby said if she's not the
one for you, she'll put you in touch with someone who can help
(01:01:55):
you. All right.
Bye, Corveby. Thank you so much.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:02:00):
You're welcome.
Hello, my spooky friends, and welcome to another episode of
Dairyland Frights, the paranormal podcast that covers
everything suooky, creepy and mysterious in the
Midwest and beyond. And I
am so lucky to nights
because I have a very special guest on, and
she's done so many things. I will let
(00:33):
her tell you about it and I'll talk a little bit about
it, but Corby Mitt leed. Is that
how you pronounceied L Liedes? Thank
you. Thank you for being on the podcast. I really
appreciate it.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (00:46):
It's a pleasure to be here.
>> John (00:56):
Great. So when I said you did so many things, and this
is coming just off your website, because I was absolutely
fascinated by it. I got lost in it to be,
that loss is in loss, as in loss is
like. This is really interesting stuff.
So let me. Let me tell me a little bit about
Corby. So you're certified
Tarot master, is that correct?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:18):
Yes, that is.
>> John (01:19):
You are a psychic, a medium.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:22):
Yes.
>> John (01:22):
A teacher.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:24):
Yes.
>> John (01:24):
Ordained minister.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:26):
All of that.
>> John (01:28):
I love it. I love it.
So one of the things here, you
have been doing this again for
50 years, is that correct?
Wow.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:40):
Going to be 70 next month.
>> John (01:42):
Well, that. I love that. That is love.
And you obviously, have clients
worldwide. We were kind of talking. We had to switch some
things around because she had a patreon, which
we'talk. She can talk about later, about,
you know, with her clients and everything like that. But
this is. This is just amazing. I don't know how you
have time, but I appreciate your time for being
(02:05):
on here. How did you get started in this?
I mean, I know you've probably been asked that a million times,
but why did you decide that this is
some of the, not only using your gifts to do these
things?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (02:17):
Well, yes, this is what I call one of the two 30
second elevator speeches. When I was nine,
I read a book called the Witch Family by Eleanor
Estes and went, ooh, there's magic in the world. I want to
go find it. In 1973, I
was a senior in high school working part time at
Spencer Gifts. That's the year that L and Let Die
(02:37):
came out with Jane Seymour, the fortune teller. They
had the James Bond 07 Tarend deck, and I bought
it because we were all hippies then. You had your
elephant bell bottoms, your David Crosby fringe jacket,
and your deck. Now, five years later, everyone else
had moved on to roller skates and disco balls. But
I love the cards. So for 20 years,
(02:57):
I read for friends, making sure that my
ego was out of the way and my message was clear.
Then all of a sudden in the early ninet, I could do
hands on healing and talk to dead people with no training.
That's when the universe handed me my draft notice and I took
it. So I did psychic work part time.
Meanwhile being an actress and author and inspirational speaker,
(03:18):
a video producer, legal assistant and executive
recruiter, a writer for the graphic novel series El Quest,
but always psychic on the side until
nine. as we watch the towers burn, I turned to my husband and I
said I need to do the psychic work full time. People
need to know their other answers out there. He said, I believe
in you. Go do it. So since then
it's six days a week read a thousand people
(03:41):
a year. Before COVID I was on the road 45
weekends a year because this is what I feel is important
to do.
>> John (03:48):
I love that and I gott give
credit. what you just said you were doing. I'm getting tired
already. I mean that's amazing and I really
appreciate you using your giftsuse. A lot of
people may not doing that, but guess what?
Corby is not only all those things,
okay? She's also an author and she is a
podast. So. Wow.
(04:10):
So you have written a number
of different books.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (04:14):
Three books.
>> John (04:15):
Can you, can you talk about some of these books and
kind of give my Sui friends kind of an
idea of if they would get this book, what
would they'd be looking at?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (04:25):
Okay. The book that they would be
most interested in probably leaning over here
is. I know it's backwards. The Psychic Yellow Brick
Road. How to find the Real wizards and Avoid the flying
Monkeys. Now this book is not written to teach
you how to be a psychic. There are millions of books out there like
that. But this book
(04:46):
was inspired by a 250 person psychic
fair I did in Toronto about 20 years
ago. Now when you have a fair that
big, no matter how good the promoter is, they
can't vent everybody. So there was a
woman walking down the aisles looking at each of the booths and
a fake gypsy runs out of her booth and grabs
(05:06):
her arm. You no need to pay 30ars,
40, $50. I will read your palm for 10. Takes the woman
into the booth. About 15 minutes later a
bunch of us see the woman leaving, crying hysterically.
We run over to see what happened. The gypsy
had told her that there was a family curse
and if she didn't burn 400 specially blessed candles
(05:26):
in the Roman Catholic church and the gypsy would do it
for a dollar a candle, her Entire family was going to die
in a car accident and she bought it.
This book, came from that
specifically to show people what we can do, what
we can't, what questions are appropriate to ask
which aren't red flags when you should get up
(05:47):
and run. And I don't care if
you never come to me if you buy that book and
it keeps you safe no matter which intuitive. If you talked
to then I did my job.
>> John (05:58):
Yeah, I love that.
So that was one of my questions here.
How did you address the skepticism which you
kind of brought up a little bit from clients.
Right. There's going to be. You love it. But why do
you love it, Corby?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (06:14):
Because it means they're not what I call cosmic
muffins. Those are the ones that believe the psych.
Whatever the psychic says it's going to happen and
they don't take charge of their own lives there
people. I have had a woman come up to me and say
okay, I need to sell my house. I need the angels
to tell me what color to paint it, what kind of furniture to put in
it, who I should. And you know, I'm sorry,
(06:36):
but that's you can
get from using your brain. And then they
ask things like well, I know that this person who is cheating on
their taxes should I say anything or will
God make them suffer? Anyway,
please get a clue. So when a
skeptic comes to me, I say
wonderful, sit. And I remind them
(06:59):
that even the best of us are only 85%
accurate. The only one 100% accurate is God.
And God is not doing psychic fears this week. Thank you.
I will usually nail it or hit them with something they
could not know and then they relax. The key
is I take my work seriously.
But me not so much. So there's no
(07:20):
ego balloon for them to puncture.
>> John (07:22):
Yeah's it? Absolutely. Absolutely. And
I bet because I've talked to other mediums and psychics,
I'm guessing you get tell me
lottery numbers. Tell me when my love is going toa come
into my life. Tell me like was my
future hold.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:38):
Yes.
>> John (07:39):
How do you address that?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:40):
When they ask for their lottery numbers, I look at them and
say me first. And anyway, if your
psychic'not driving a Lexus, how do you know they know?
>> John (07:48):
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:49):
Now there are numerology ways of giving
you lucky numbers, but it's not going to make you in the
lottery.
These may be fortunate.
>> John (07:58):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (07:59):
There is always the does Bruce love me? Question.
Always.
>> John (08:02):
Yes.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (08:05):
So if someone comes to me about that
I have a five Card spread that I do,
the person sitting with me, their love
object, the relationship of the two of them, what they need
to know and best possible outcome. If they then look at me and
say, I still don't know what to do. I do what I call the
three threes. Three cards for status quo. They
(08:26):
just deal with a relationship. Three cards for drawing a
line in the sand. You have to do serious counseling. And three
cards. If they leave now, the key
is their free will means I have to zip it. I may
see that leaving is the right thing to do. But if
she looks at those cards and then goes, I guess I'll st it
out for a while, then I have to let her do that. The
(08:46):
only difference is if she tells me she's being
gasl lit or abused,
then my reader's license goes
in the back and my reverend collar comes on
and I tell her how she can safely get
herself out of a damaging situation.
But other than that, it's her choice.
>> John (09:06):
Yeah, I love it.
So that, that kind of really,
piggybacks into my next question. So kind
of talk to just really a little bit about it right now. But
like, what are your ethical guidelines when
you're providing, readings. Excuse me.
And like, how do you handle the sensitive
situations like grief or trauma?
(09:27):
Because obviously you've had people come to you and say,
oh my God, you know, my, my grandma just
died, my mom just died, my husband just died. I
feel I'm cursed. I feel there's demons. I feel there's
this. I feel there's that. Like, what do you do, Corby?
How do you handle?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (09:43):
Well, I tell them the demons and curses are not my job. But I
do know a couple of people that I send them to. It's
important that any intuitive, it ain't in your wheelhouse, don't take
the money. But because
I am ir. Reverend, I have
dealt with that kind of thing in my own life,
frankly. Three bouts of breast cancer, two divorces,
(10:03):
rape, poverty and abuse, and I'm still floating. I've
seen all of it. So there is nothing
that's going to surprise me. When they
know that, that I will not judge them,
they relax. I also tell my people, don't ask
yes or no questions, ask how, because
that keeps you from the fake gypsies. If
(10:24):
you said to me, is my new business going to
succeed? The fake gypsy would say, oh, there's
a family curse here. You have to burn this candle.
When I teach you to ask how,
then I can do something like my multiple
card entrepreneur Spread card for you, card for the
energy around the business, the brick and mortar location, how to market
it, clients, competition, staff, finances, what you need to
(10:46):
know, best possible outcome, it's
yours to do. I give you directions,
but you have to choose whether you want to follow them.
That's how you can keep your ethics
straight.
>> John (10:59):
Yeah, and I love that because like you're just
talking about the gypsy telling the 400 candles and it's going
to cost us much. That's typically
unfortunately and seeaking to other mediums
and psychics and so on and so forth.
Yeah, that's what they get, you know, and it's a
hard thing to get over with a client because I
(11:19):
talk to, you know, just talking to
me, all the meetings of psychics, including you, I've spoken
to seem very ethical, seem very, have
very high integrity, have been through
stuff ye like you have or
close to it. So they're not
going to try to like if you're making a quick
buck, this isn't the thing to be in for it. Right. If you're trying to
(11:42):
make a quick box, this is like maybe get
something else. Right. If that's, if someone's thinking that. Right.
If someone says that to you.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (11:49):
Yes, ethics are important. You know,
all of this stuff was just landed on me without any
training and it was very clear that the universe wanted me to
do this in service.
So when you realize it's not you,
you're just the tool that spirit is
using. Your ego kind of sits by
the board. But if all you want to do is make the
(12:12):
buck, then you'll make all the claims and you'll
be like every other snake oil salesman. You'll be like the wizard and
the wizard of Oz.
>> John (12:19):
Yeah, absolutely.
So has there ever been a talking to, like I said,
other mediums. One of my favorite stories here,
maybe this has happened to you, is a
woman, kind of like you. She was kind of, you know, giveniving
these gifts and everything like that. And one
day this older man would kept
showing up. She kept seeing this older man and he
(12:41):
would say, please tell my daughter
I'm fine, I'm okay. She, she's
okay. And then she got connected with them and learned a little bit
more and you know, did all these different things and she found out
that down the road
was the woman she was supposed to
talk to. So she kind of, she came in, she
said, you know, it was really awkward conversation. I knocked on the door and
(13:04):
I said, I am Julie. I know you're not
gonna believe this, but it is your father
telling me he's okay. And you know, of
course it was okay who you are, and what's, you know, what's
going on. But eventually they started talking and, you
know, she learned, you know, oh, how'd you know that?
Right? You know, my dad smoked this certain brand of
(13:24):
cigar or he drank this certain beer or
whatever. But have you ever had that? Have you ever had a
spirit reach out to you, whether good or bad,
and say, like, could you tell
this person that I knowbe it'a good
about?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (13:39):
Because that is the agreement I have with my guides.
There are too many psychics who do
that when it's not welcome. I call that a drive
by psychic shooting. That's the kind of fake
stuff on Long Island Medium where she
walks up to a stranger in the grocery store
and gives him a dire message that's all
fake because legally
(14:02):
her PR team has to go and scout out all the
grocery stores and pick one. They have to talk to the
regional manager. I have to interview
the supposed guests and have them
sign legal model releases. And then
they'rehearse it six times. But a lot of people
think that is the way you're supposed to do it,
(14:22):
and it's not. and I'll give you a good example. Most of your
listeners probably have heard of Lilydale, which is an
amazing spiritualist community in western New
York. It's world famous. People who
are from Lilydale, if they had a
message, would walk up to this woman and say,
excuse me, but my name is Reverend
Sam and I am from Lilydale. I
(14:44):
believe I have a message for you. May I come to
you? Those are the magic words. May I come to you?
And if the person says yes, they will deliver the
message. But if the person says no, they
nod and they walk away, knowing spirit will get the
information to this person in a way they are willing to
receive it. It's never a. I
have to tell you this by anybody
(15:06):
ethical?
>> John (15:08):
Yeah. Interesting. That's really
interesting.
So let me ask you this then. When you
are talking to, let's say, spirits guys or
spirits or however you want to phrase it, like, what are some of the
common challenges you face
when connecting with? Is there anything you
do differently? Or like I said, is there any times
(15:29):
you just had a real challenge?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (15:31):
well, always, Always there are times when
you will read for someone and they'll tell you that you're
wrong and you know you will be right. The example
I use is a woman I read at a place where I
went every three times a year. And I saw a
couple of challenges for her, which I told her about, and
she got up, she insulted me, and she walked away. well, okay,
(15:51):
fine. The next time I was in that area,
she was the first person to sit down, and she acknowledged
that she had been really rude last time
because I had told her that
I saw her taking in a border,
and then she was probably going to want to sell her house, and she
said that was. But then my daughter moved
(16:11):
home because she was pregnant. And now
I'm going to sell my house to raise my grandson. And
I still don't like you, but I want to know what else you see.
You know, don't shoot the messenger.
Yeah, but for the rest of it, no, it's
easiest for me
with mediumship because I don't fish.
(16:32):
I go after specifics. For instance,
my father, Harold
Markham McAllister, who died in
2014 at the age of 80. If somebody gives
me that information, that pushes me
right into them, and I will then tell
them everything I see. And my guides do place yourades.
(16:52):
They smoked, they had surgery, there was an
accident. Sometimes I'll get pet phrases, sometimes
I'll get gestures, but it
has to be anywhere between four and six.
Oh, my God, you couldn't know that. Things. Then
I open up the door and they talk directly
to their person. I tell them exactly what they're saying. I
(17:12):
mean, there are things like.
There was a man who wanted to speak to his father who had died
three months before, and I said, I'm getting a big red
bow tie, and it's velvet.
And he immediately broke down because
that was the tie that his father wore. Excuse me,
with his tux that had been presented to the
sun a couple of weeks before at
(17:34):
Christmas. You know, that's not. It's
vague. It's a rose. He loves you.
>> John (17:40):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (17:40):
So those are the kinds of things when I get them. With
mediumship. Yes. We know that we're getting the right person.
>> John (17:46):
Yeah. So when you are
preparing for, ah, reading Corby, like,
is there something you need to
do before or after the session? once
you're. Once you're talking to that person.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (17:59):
Actually, I've been doing this for so long,
my guides are always here by
wingman. I refer to them that way because they were
pilots when we were all pilots in a war a hundred years
ago, and we all flew together. So
there they are. It's a matter of making sure that the
person with me is comfortable when you sit with
me. first thing I'm going to say to you is,
(18:22):
what's the most important thing you want to walk out of here knowing?
Because I do so many different things. I don't want to spend
time on tarot and telling you about your
life. If what is really bothering you
is I have this obsession or phobia
that I can't get out of my mind. And that's a past life thing,
I want to go and do the past life stuff first. I'm
fast. I tell people when they first sign up
(18:45):
to have a reading with me, do not buy more than half an
hour because you won't need it.
And 95% of the time I'm right.
So it's important that the person is comfortable,
that they know they're heard and they know that I respect
what their questions are.
>> John (19:01):
Yeah, yeah.
And that kind of reminds me of you re you're kind of talking about this a little
bit, but how do you, like, discern
between a person's own thoughts and the
messages coming through from a spirit? Couldn't that
be a little confusing for you when you, when you're doing a
reading?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (19:19):
No, because when they want me to get a spirit guide,
literally, you know, it's, if you will, turn on that part of my
brain. And the guides I get
are pretty specific. So
that's. And they're different from your dead person when
it is a past life.
I think I've only gotten that somebody was a
(19:39):
famous person three times and they weren't like, you know,
Frank Sina Notch or something. One of them was Mercy
Otis Warren, who was best friends with Abigail
Adams during the Revolutionary War. One person was
Nellie Bly, who was a very
famous investigative journalist at the beginning of the
20th century. And I hadn't seen a
picture of the person that I was reading.
(20:01):
But I found out later you put her picture in Nellie Bly's picture
together and they were twins. And,
my favorite story on that is there was a woman
who loved black and white photography.
Everyone tried to get her to do color, but it was black and white.
And what I discovered is she was someone called
Jacob Res R I I s And if
(20:21):
you've ever seen those turn of the 20th
century Tenement pictures in New York and
Boston that are so ye, that
was Jacob Priese and she had done those pictures.
So she now has a very thriving business
where she lives because she went with what she
knew, which is black and white
photography. But now she understands why.
>> John (20:44):
Interesting. Yeah, exactly. And that's kind of
staying on the topic a little Bit.
Could you explain Corby,
your. How would you explain
spirit guides? Because one thing I've noticed from talking to
all different people, they all have. I wouldn't say different views of
it, but, you know, how would you explain to
someone, you know, who says, I don't have a spirit guy? What
(21:06):
are you talking about? You know what?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (21:08):
I would look at them and smile and say, you think you're smart enough to get
it all done on your own?
>> John (21:12):
No.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (21:13):
We have pee brains. So everybody's got at
least one guardian angel that's with us from birth to death.
But our spirit guides grow and change as we do. I
talk about by Wingman. They were my first
spirit guides. I now work with a higher
level angel. But everybody's
got guides, and they can be
(21:34):
dead humans, ets,
animal guides, energy signatures, avatars,
angels. Generally, whatever
I get for them will make sense to them.
And they have conversations with the guides so they
understand what they're here to do and why.
>> John (21:51):
Yeah. Yeah. And that's really interesting because
I found out I have four spirit
guys. I thought that was really, really
interesting. Now, here's something. I'm not trying to make
light of it or anything like that, but for about
a. It'about three or four years in a row,
I just had the worst things happen to
me. Like, I was in a car accident.
(22:14):
I almost, My wife and I almost got divorced.
My kids were sick. I was sick. Like, all
this stuff, one after another after another after another
after another, right? And I'm not complaining. Cause I
came through it. I'm a survivor. My family's the survivor.
But there are times of weakness where I
go, hey, where were you guys? Or women
(22:34):
or avatars or angels. Like, I'm
suffering. Like, I was thinking. I was so
depressed, Corby, that I thought about taking
my own life. And I've been totally forthright
with people because, people who listen to this podcast, if
they. If they. Maybe they're at that level, right?
Or at that point in their life where they're like, why,
(22:54):
you know, everything doesn't work out. And you tell me I've
scared guys. Like, I don't get it.
Like, why't they?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (23:01):
They're not here to save you from karma. They
are not here to save you from life lessons,
okay? They're
here for specific things. There was
a car accident where I should have died.
But basically, black ice under
snow overcorrected the car, took down a tree, a
(23:21):
telephone pole, flipped the car, electrical wires
on it. I wasn't Wearing a seatbelt. I walked out with a couple of
bruises. That's a spirit guide. That's an
angel. Because it was not my time to
go. I had work to do.
But if in your pre birth planning session,
which touches on the work I did with Robert Schwartz,
you decide that you are
(23:44):
going to have a situation with a very
dysfunctional family and an alcoholic mother
and a father who doesn't defend you, and this sets
up a tipping point where you can go
in two directions. Either you've got the lesson or
you didn't. Your spirit guides will not
interfere because this is what
your higher selfare soul has set up
(24:06):
as learning for this lifetime.
Also, looking at the divorce thing, you don't
know. Were you with your wife in another life?
Were you even same gender, same
relationship? Did you have an unbalanced energy
that needs realignment this time?
Karma is not just bad and good. Karma is five things.
(24:26):
Healing, service, contrast, unbalanced energy and healing
of beliefs.
>> John (24:32):
yeah, see that's what I've been hearing that gott
make sense. So my question then
is, then again, if a client comes to you
and is seeking answers, because I'm sure you have
this again, like we talked about all the time about a
specific event or person. But let's say
that spirit isn't ready to communicate for
(24:52):
whatever reason, how do you handle that? and you know, how do you keep the
person there and get frustrated? Like if they want to talk
to.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (24:58):
A dead person and I can't get them, I remind
them that we're only
85% accurate and the dead
person has a choice whether to connect or not.
It could be that I'm just not the right medium. It could be
that they are doing something on the astral. Could
be that they know that contacting their
(25:19):
live person isn't good. I mean, there are some people
that always come to me and want to talk to their same
dead person all the time and that is not
healthy. So after about three
times I kind of just say, okay, we're done.
You know, I'm like a good bartender. I cut them off
because, the, the dead person is dead and has
gone on to do other things and they have to learn to
(25:41):
go and do other things while they are still
on earth. Sometimes you have to
do a little tough love.
>> John (25:49):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with that fullly.
Because again, some of it is moving on.
I know people inlosure or whatever you want to call it,
and I know it's hard. You know, when my mom died,
she was a Very important part of
the family. Extremely important. Like, everyone
loved my mom and it was just really hard when she
(26:10):
left, just knowing, you know, I told everybody, I said, my
mom's still here. She's still guiding us and
everything, because I know she is. Because that's the kind of my mom
gave of herself first. She put people in front
of her at a cost. I felt, yes,
yes. But that's the way person
she was. And I totally. I still feel her
(26:30):
spirit, and I feel everything about her when I'm
thinking through things or going through things. I know my mom
is. She's like, okay, everything's me, okay kind of
attitude, not talking to me that way, but the
feeling I get. Right. Ye s kind of a difference.
Yes. Yeah.
so here's the thing that this might be
an interesting question for you because I always get interesting
(26:53):
answers. So what is
yourior're reverend and everything? What is
your personal belief system about
the afterlife? And how is that. How does that
influence your mediumship or your
be IR reverent or just all the things in your life?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (27:10):
Well, one of the first things I do is I ask people,
give your dead person 90 days to get up
there, sign the guest register, unpack the
bag, get the tour. Because it is important
that they have the time to do their life
review. Now, the life review is
simply that everything good you ever did in your life,
you relive it. And you get to
(27:32):
feel what other people felt when you
did it for them, whether it was gratitude or
surprise or whatever. Also,
when you have to review the things you did that were
negative, you must feel the sorrow,
the anger, the rage, the bewilderment, as if it
was done to you. That's what hell is. But when you're done,
(27:53):
you're done. And then the spirit
goes on to decide. Doesn it t want to
reincarnate? Does it want to do further work
on the astral? What does it want to do?
And so if we're constantly badgering them
in that initial period, it's like
the little kid that keeps tugging onto mommy's coat,
(28:13):
it distracts them, is it's not a loving thing to
do. So that's how I explain
that when
people do come back to visit. my father was a wonderful doctor.
And sometimes when I do a medical
reading, he'll come in. What he
comes in with is his compassion,
(28:33):
his humor, his wonderful medical
incisive knowledge. But
the less than good qualities, you know,
anxiety, things like that, that served a purpose
when he was in the body, they're nowhere to be found. They were
completely done away with once he crossed
over. So the soul is all the good things we
(28:53):
are, the personality are all the things that we
have to learn with, but they're not the best things
in the world and they get dumped when we
die.
>> John (29:02):
Yeah. So what do you do to a client
who says basically, oh, we're just food for
worms. There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is
no Valhalla, there is no Schangeera. Come
on, Corby, we're food for workm.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (29:16):
You may be right. We won't know until we get
there. All I know is that I have had enough
experiences that for me, that doesn't ring
truth. There's no sense in
trying to argue with them or get them to believe your sight because they
just don't want to. So, you know, basically by
shorthand is to smile at them and say, well, blessings on your
journey.
>> John (29:36):
Yeah, I love that.
And one of the things that I know a lot of people struggle with
and I guess this is kind of, I don't know, you dealing
with philosophy and things like that. But like,
how do I be a good person? How do I know? Like,
I, I used to a real religious person.
Very religious, kind of gone away from
that, to be honest with you. Because I'm more into free will in deciding
(29:58):
things because I can't be a good person all the
time. There arenna be times I screw up.
I mean, I say dumb things
that make people angry with me. But
is that gonna stop me from getting,
I don't know to where, wherever that is
at a good place. I mean, how do, how do you
(30:18):
deal with that if people are like, I can't do that, Are you
crazy?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (30:22):
We are down here to learn. Because there is
a lot you can learn in this duality
dimensional body that you can't learn
upstairs. Robert Schwartz uses the idea of the white
room. If you walk into a white room,
white curtains, white carpet, white
furniture, a penna with only white keys, you're wearing
(30:43):
white, you have no idea what purple is.
Eskimos have 250 words for snow, not one
for palm trees. We come down here with the
ability to makeote unquote mistakes so
we can learn, so we can see the
duality. So, you know, the other
way I explain it is when people are saying, well, is this religion
(31:03):
right? Or that one God owns the grocery store, he
does not care if you come in through the floors, the deli, or health and
beauty aids, just get in there. We
figure out religion
because we need to have something.
But when you think about the fact that we are
just 8 billion little cockroaches
(31:24):
on the surface of this insignificant
planet in an insignificant solar system
at the bad end of a mediocre
galaxy, you realize
we cannot possibly
understand the smallest thing about God. So a lot of
people make up, you know, well, he's a magic donkey in this guy.
(31:45):
You know, sure, I tell
people I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, or believe
in Ralph the Wonder Doog. I don't. Just know that somebody
up there loves you, wants the best for you and is willing to work with you.
That's all you need.
>> John (31:58):
Yeah, I love that message. That is a great
message.
So have you ever though, kind of sticking
with this? Have you ever like
declined to answer a question if you feel it's
not appropriate to share the information from a
spirit with a client?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (32:15):
No, but what I will not do is what I call remote
spying. That's when let's say John and
Mary are dating. They can ask about each other with
me when they're dating. If they break up, John
cannot ask about Mary, Mary cannot ask about John because
then it is intruding. So
the example I give is a woman who came to me and said,
(32:36):
I want to know where my husband is sleeping with his mistress. I said,
I'm sorry, I don't do remote spying. Well, can you tell me
how many people he slept with? No, I don't do remote
spe. Boy, you're worthless. Well, is he sick? Is he going
to die and leave me his money? At which point
I just said, I'm sorry, Mrs. McAllister, we're not
connecting. And she got up and left and you know, I gave
(32:56):
her her money back, but. Because
that's part of the ethical thing, that's part of having your
boundaries.
>> John (33:03):
Yeah, absolutely. I love that. Because
again, like you soc corby, I mean, you're
only 80. Would you say 85%? Corackct.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (33:12):
Even the best of us are only 85%.
>> John (33:14):
you, good day, Whatever you want to say. Right.
And there's two. I don't know. Life is so random to
me now. I know I've had arguments with philosophers and
everything. I feel life is
completely random because there's some things in my
life like I always use the example going to
work. Okay, so going to work. You don't know. First
of all, if you're gonna wake up, right, you could die in your
(33:36):
sleep. That could happen. Hopefully doesn't could.
And then when you get out of bed, let's say you stub your toe
on the bed frame. Okay, that sucks. And then you get in
the shower and your hot water heaters out. So
you took a cold shower. Then you try to start your car, your
car won't start. And you get to work late and your
boss fires you. Because whatever reason.
(33:57):
So I'm like. Part of that I
understand is like, how can you, how can someone say like,
well, that's gonna happen to you next week, John Gotn do
this, this, this, Right. I just find that
fascinating.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (34:10):
Well, the thing is, I agree with you about free will. But
remember also, we do come in with a
pre birth plan. The way I explain that is
that's like choosing your college major. It's going to be a
physics major, but you can get through
college taking gut courses or double major
plus lab. That's free will. You can either do the smart
(34:30):
thing or the dumb thing, but either way
you are going to die having learned what your spirit guide
wanted you to know, what your soul wanted you to know. So you'll
graduate with your degree. Depends on how rough you want to
make it. But that's why when people
say but I thought we have free will and you're talking about pre
birth planning. I say yes, we have both.
>> John (34:52):
Yeah, I like that. Ah. and I think that's
very much true. I think that's you know, something that
I've kind of seen.
speaking of that, just a, ah, personal thing that I'm
kind of curious about and you know, again, I'm a little
naive on it. This is why I have you on the show. One
of the things, I don't know if you steal or
you even at all deal with aura. And let
(35:14):
me explain this M is always I thought was
weird about me. And I'm sure it's about other people too.
Like I will meet people and I will connect with
them like that. I mean it was just, hey, like
we've been together for 10 years. And then other
people I will meet Torby
and they do not like for whatever
(35:34):
reason and they give me like dirty
looks. They, you know, and I try to get to know them and
everything. They want't have anything to do with me. And I know
this is a really silly question, but
why does that happen? I don't
understand.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (35:49):
It is not your or it'personality it
happens with all of us. All right? What you were the
first that you were talking about is what I call a click and lock.
Friendship. And it's Very possible that these were people that we
did know in a past life or we arranged
to meet in this one when we were planning what we
were going to do down here. And there are some people
that your souls may be
(36:11):
fine with each other, but their personalities are, like
this. All my life I have been a charismatic.
That means I walk into a room
3ft before I walk into a room.
That's why I was a professional actress. It's just my
nature. And some people adore that. And some people,
it just rubs in the wrong way. Even when I
(36:32):
haven't said anything to them, I'm just me.
So that's one of the reasons that
you can't have an ego that depends on
how other people view you, because that will
set you up for failure every single time. You're
just. You absolutely do what you need to do.
>> John (36:50):
Yeah, absolutely. And I know this sounds corny, but I say
this all the time. It. You have to love yourself first.
You. You know, like, that's one thing I learned. Like, some people
o so and so doesn't like me, and
it really bugs me. So I'mnna go out and buy them lunch
or I'm gonna go and, you do do
something active, random act of kindness, which is fine.
(37:11):
You can do that. But I'm like, they don't
like you. Why are you trying to, like, no,
just be yourself. I'm. I'm a weird
guy and I'm a nerdy guy, and
that's who I am. And I say I
have a very dark humor, and that's the way I am.
And I'm notnna change. So. And people who, have been
friends with me for years and who have just become new
(37:34):
friends, they're like, you know, they'll tell.
People'll be like, yeah, he's a little weird, but he's a really nice
guy. He's a good guy. You'll like. You know what I mean?
I think that's really hard for someone
coming to you who'sin might say to you, like,
corby, how do I change myself? Like, I don't really.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (37:51):
First thing I would say is, why do you believe you need
to change?
>> John (37:55):
Yeah, right.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (37:56):
See, that'that's part of the reverend thing,
because when we harshly judge ourselves like
that, we need to ask ourselves what I call the three
most important questions in the world. What are my ex about?
X is whatever emotion you're having, why am my X
about that? And the question we never ask. What do
I think would happen if I stopped being X about
that. So what are you upset about?
(38:19):
People seem to be weirded out by my
personality. Why does that upset you? And then we go
through it, and then finally it's, what do you think would
happen if you stopped being upset with how people react to
you? M and that opens up your ability to
change.
>> John (38:35):
That's interesting. So one of the things,
yeah, like I said, I love this because I think what's
really good is for people to understand
is if you're going to change,
you know, maybe you want to look at it first. Rightus. Maybe you're not
changing for the right reasons. There are certain things you might want to change.
Like, well, I want to lose 20 pounds or I wantn
(38:56):
question. That's a different thing than changing
personality, right? That's a whole different thing.
But to change, like you said, who you are asking those
questions are great.
So let me ask you this. One of the things I hear,
too, is a lot of like.
And I'm gonna switch topics here, but I know this might sound,
maybe you don't get this, maybe you do. But, like, for
(39:18):
example, let's use extraterrestrials, all right? Because I've
talked to mediums about extraterrestrial, and we're seeing that more and
more, right? The government has come out and said, Yep, we got
UFOs. And basically everyone just went back to their cell
phone and went, I don't care. It didn't
have the effect that people thought it was going to be.
However, if there's
extraterrestrials in here, whether you're spirit guide or
(39:41):
whether they're actually physically here,
I'm just curious, like, what do you
think they want? Like, I've
heard everything to helping us becoming a better
planet, to destroying
us. and, like, where's the in between? I guess.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (39:58):
Well, you have to realize, if they are actually getting
here from wherever they are, they are far more advanced than we
are. They are. And we are probably coming
across like Neanderthals to them, especially right
now, destroying our planet. The constant
wars, the arguments between
human and human. So they
(40:18):
may observe us and they may want to help
us, or they may simply, as the meme goes,
you know, lock their doors and take off. We
all would love to think that it's like in Star tre
First Contact where the Vulalkans ship lands
and shakes hands with Zeprom
conference, but that
probably is not going to be the case because we're not that
(40:40):
advanced emotionally. We
cannot bring to an
ET anything of value. Not
yet.
>> John (40:52):
So okay. One of the things I look at it like
is, like, with my children, when they were
bor. For example, my, My son and my daughter,
okay, I looked at them like
they were not a vessel. But you know that I
get to be like, I can teach them to be good. I can
teach them to be strong. I can teach them to be
(41:12):
a good person. Whatever you want to say, right? Whatever I
decide to put upon this,
child, or human being or whatever you want to
say. Don't you think aliens would think
about that? They'll be like. And that's why I know this
sounds weird, but like, I always,
abductions, we don't have to get into that whole different
thing. But, like, wouldn't you think they would want toa, like,
(41:34):
bring a group of us in and be like, okay,
you guys are screwing this up. Let's figure.
And I'm being like, a little playful.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (41:43):
Would we need to do that with an
animal? We are no different from them
than dumb animals.
>> John (41:51):
But we do train apes and dogs and
horses. You know what I'm saying?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (41:56):
We do train them, but we don't train them to
be more aware,
more a member of the universe.
We use them.
>> John (42:06):
that's tr.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (42:07):
The way you talk about your child. You're the same species,
you're humans with them,
you know, and we don't know what they look like. We don't even
know if they have bodies. would
we necessarily want to
have massive conversations with a
dandelion? You know, it's a totally different
(42:29):
thing.
>> John (42:29):
Ye.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (42:30):
So are there other beings out
there? Of course. Remember what I said about this massive
universe? Do they care about us? No.
Are they interested in us? I don't
think so. It would be lovely if it was
like Star Trek. I mean, I do Star Trek rather than Star
wars, but I don't think so. I think we're far
too peritive a planet to be, of any interest
(42:53):
to them whatsoever. We haven't even made it out to the next
planet yet.
>> John (42:57):
Yeah.
So can I get on a different tangent here about Star
Trek? I have two of the most fascinating
episodes. I think it was written very well and, you know
people. I believe Arthur C. Clark wrote on the
episodes. I'm trying to think of the other Isaac, asm
maybe There was a number of scientists who wrote
these episodes or help write them. And one of my favorite
(43:17):
episodes was, and I can't remember the title, so please excuse
me for that, but there was a planet
where nobody got disease, nobody got sick,
and everyone just kept living and they came
to the leader of the planet,
came to Kirk and
said, we, you know, we have to
(43:37):
do something. Look at our planet. It's overpopulated.
We can't continue to feed them, we can't continue.
Whatever. You guys got to go in there
basically and, well,
kill them. You know, again, I'm being a little
playful, but, you know, they had to introduce some type of
biohazard or some type of disease to kill.
(43:58):
And do you ever wonder about something like
that where, like you said, about our planet,
where we're, overpopulated? I think'eight billion
people on this planet. Do you ever think aliens look at that and
ever go, yeah, maybe we
should do something about that? Or does it
still. Nah, they don't care.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (44:17):
Prime, directive now, remember, with
But.
>> John (44:20):
Kirk, the original series, many times
with.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (44:23):
The original series that was developed in the
1960s. You take that same
idea in the 1980s with
Picard, and what they would have done is
not said, sure, let's kill some, but
let us resettle you on another planet. We
had grown. So there was that.
(44:44):
There's no telling. There is no telling. but first of
all, notice that Kirk was
able to speak perfectly fine English to the people
on planet yet, or whatever it was. I don't know
that the aliens are kind of coming in with a universal
translator.
>> John (45:00):
Yeah, that would be really helpful for
everybody, wouldn't it?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (45:04):
It wouldn.
>> John (45:06):
So let's talk a little bit about personal growth
here and how you can help people. One of the
things I, want to start with is when
someone come, maybe they ask you, and
maybe you're not the one they want toa be with
for whatever reason. Doesn't really matter. How do you advise
someone to pick a good. What do you want to say?
(45:26):
Medium, psychic, however you want to pray? How do
you tell that person? Like, here's the checklist coming in
your book a little bit, right?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (45:33):
That's right. The first two chapters of the psyche Calibri wrote
are just about that. What I will do to
shorten it is I'll give you the example of what I
tell people. When you go into a psychic fair and you want
a reading, but you don't know any of the people there. I
laughingly tell people, you all have to be good puppies.
First thing you have to do is you have to do your walkies, which
(45:54):
means you go around and you look at everybody there. You
don't have to talk to them or interact, but you'll get a
feel for. Do they feel like snake Oil salesmen or do
they look like they know what they're doing?
Then you go and get
paper drained. What does that mean? We all have
flyers, rack cards, business cards. You pick
(46:14):
up one from anybody that you are interested in and
you go and you sit down because there are always areas to do
that and read through them.
There will be three or four that you're interested in.
Go back and talk to them. If
they're busy, you'll talk to their front people.
These are people we hire to give you the information,
(46:34):
take the money, etc. But remember, we hire these
people to say they love us. And
the joke I tell true is my very
first front person
was my husband's office manager when he was
a museum director. Now,
do you think that on the weekend she's going to Diss Mrs.
Museum Director? No, she's not.
(46:57):
But we all do have testimonial books on
our tables and these are comments from people that
have had readings and you go through and
read several of them. Are we funny? Are
we kind? Are we accurate? Do we
have specialties? Children, dogs, dead people?
Would they come back? But the last thing is
(47:17):
check in at heart level. You are putting your heart earned
money on the table. If the psychic doesn't feel like they have
a brain in their head, they really care about what they're
doing or they're going to give you good information.
Don't go there. No matter how cool
the WikiOO looks on the table and if nobody there
rings your chimes, leave without a reading, there will
be someone else somewhere else.
>> John (47:40):
I love that. I love that.
So let me ask you two. One of the things
that a lot of people want to know because, and
I'm not going to get into the details of stuff, let s like chakra
points and there's third eye and there's this and there's that
and whatever. But, one of the biggest things I think for
health, especially mental health, as well as physical health,
is like, is there a way? And I, and I
(48:02):
know this is not trying to put you on the spot, Corby,
but is there a way someone can
improve their physical mentor mental
energy for better health? Is there meditation?
What would you reciteommag?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (48:15):
That's like saying, do you believe in food?
You know, there's a million ways to
eat things to eat. Whether it's an intuitive
counselor, which is what we are, or a medical
intuitive or a pastor, whatever
it is, yes, you can improve.
Now, are there things like mental illness?
(48:36):
Yes, there are. And I am not A
psychoanalyst. So there are. Sometimes
I just tell people this is outside my wheelhouse.
And that's one of the important things
that a good intuitive will do
when it's not in their wheelhouse. For instance, if you came to me
with a serious illness, y. That's
(48:56):
not my specialty, I would say, yes, go see
your doctor. But I would send you
to my friend Stacy Wells, whom I consider one
of the best medical intuitives in the US she can
literally look inside the DNA of the body.
She has seen brain tumors people have missed. She saw my
cancer before the doctors did. So she
is someone that you go to now. You take
(49:19):
that information and you go and talk to your
physician. You do not say the psychic said
that. But
an example of something that I did
early was I saw someone
who had a grayness here. And I said, you know, why don't you just go get
your lungs checked just in case it's just something there. And it turned
out what they had was Lou Gehrig's disease, als.
(49:42):
And five years later his widow came to me and said, we're
so grateful that you told us to go see the doctor because
they caught it very early and we had four very good years
before he passed. But as
far as the mental stuff goes, well, I
have several books that I suggest.
My two favorites are To Love Us to be happy with
(50:04):
and Happiness is a Choice by a guy named Barry Neal
Kaufman. Those are the books that got me through three buts of breast
cancer, two divorces, in the death of my parents.
So there are books that will help you. Radical
Forgiveness by colon tipping Radical
Forgiveness is not I forgive
you and you can do it again. It's. I am totally
(50:24):
unlocking and throwing away the energy from this.
You can too. So there are
books that I recommend. No intuitive is going to have
all the answers. They should, however, have
a good toolbox that they can hand you and
say, this might be useful.
Notice I didn't say this might work, but this might
be useful.
>> John (50:46):
Right? Exactly. Exactlyuse. There is
no everybody wants to quick
in the box. Open it,
right? It's like take the pill.
Boom. You're 100% right.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (51:00):
And, if that's what you want. I am not your girl.
>> John (51:03):
Yeah. And I love that. And you shouldn't be because that's.
You're not you firstr are. You're not learning anything on your
journey. You know, there are some people. Whatever
you want to say, maybe you're blessed more than other people and you can
get into all different things why? Or something.
But you know, I just, I don't
think you learn anything. I know, it sounds funny, but like,
(51:23):
I don't think you know love until you have heartbreak.
Now maybe that's a bad way of looking at it, but that's
my opinion. Like until something you love,
a person, whatever, pet
dies or something bad happens, you
learn what love is. Rather than you just kind of go, I
love Jim. Like,
(51:43):
okay, I don't know, I just always feel
that going down your life's path, if you want to call it
that, you have to have some bumps or
something like that.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (51:53):
That's just another example of the white room.
If you don't have grief, sadness, you won't understand
joy.
>> John (52:00):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. I totally
agree.
No, one thing is to with
your books. Is there anything in your books?
Because this is always. I go back and forth and I have
a feeling you're gonna corby what your answer is. But
I've read a lot of self help books, not a lot of, a lot of other
books that you know, just learn in general.
(52:21):
But one of the things that I always go back
and forth with people is about manifestation.
Like you look at it, you write it down. You, you
know, Tesla talked about this. Nicholas Tesla told body
was nine, six, nine. Like in the morning, you write down
nine times what your what, six in the afteroon. Nine.
And I believe that's it. Ah. What is your feeling on that?
(52:42):
When people come to you and they're like, I'm going to try
manifestation and you agree
or disagree with
party guys.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (52:52):
You know, why would I tell somebody
that that what they want to do they shouldn't do.
It's not my life. You know, you talk about self
help books. That was my first one
called clean out your life closet. Clarity, adaptability,
simplicity and making friends was stressed.
But I wrote it
to kind of be the anti self help book because I remember
(53:15):
the first paragraph of the first
self help I bought when I was 13. This is 1968,
so excuse the language. Judy has a groovy
wardrobe, her makeup is fab and her hair is far
out. But nobody likes Judy because Judy's fat.
In that one paragraph, hundreds of thousands of American
teenage girls were told everything they are.
Everything they did was worthless unless they were skinny.
(53:37):
And that's the damage that self help books do.
But with mine,
each chapter is here's some of the dumb things I did.
Maybe here's a client'story here'some suggestions.
But at the end of each chapter I have what I
call the adventure pages and there are questions for you to
answer. But you can't turn
(53:58):
to page 18 and find the answers. You have
to look at your own life.
It's the only thing that will work.
So let's take a look at the
chapter on how perfect destroy good. What did I ask
you? Where do you beat yourself up most
often? Why reimagine one of
those times with the idea that good can triumph over
(54:20):
perfect. What does it look like now?
How would your life change if you stopped
thinking perfection was the only correct response to
a project or a situation?
When you realize you've got your own answers,
then you're not going to be a victim. You'll be a
volunteer and you can change your mind in an
instant.
>> John (54:43):
Ye, again, I'm
just blown away everything which you've said tonight. Cor because
I think it's a great balance
all.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (54:52):
Thank you.
>> John (54:53):
So I'mnn give you two. I'mnna give you two words
here. I'mn to tell me, you tell me what you think. First word
is happiness.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:02):
Happiness is peace within.
>> John (55:06):
So if someone says I have peace
within, but I don't have
the house, the car, whatever. If you're
ever and you don't have.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:17):
Peace within because you're longing for something.
>> John (55:19):
Yeah.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:20):
Pie within. Is that
grounded, centered?
I'm good the way I am and now I can choose where else I'm going
to go. But if it's I have peace,
but then you don't.
>> John (55:33):
Okay, so that's my next question. The
word is satisfied.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:39):
There's a difference between satisfied and content.
>> John (55:42):
Okay.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (55:43):
Satisfied is. Yeah, for
now. It's good. Content is a deep
appreciation for what you have.
Satisfied as I'm satisfied now, but will I be
satisfied later? Content is the
present moment.
>> John (55:59):
O yeah. See that? I love that. I
absolutely love that.
So before we wrap up, what would you say
to a person who is, like
I said, maybe going whether
their life is going the way they want it or
not, or whatever they're looking for.
What would you say to a person that kind of, you know,
(56:20):
before they decide whether it's therapy?
Maybe speaking to a reverend may like yourself
or medium or intuitive like yourself,
what would you tell them? What should they do
first before they even take that out?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (56:36):
Realize that you are your own best expert.
We can help, but you are the one who will have to
make the decision about changes.
That none of us are gurus. Maybe
we're mentors. A
mentor pushes you a little further than you think
you can go. Kicks you out of the nest a little
(56:56):
before you think you're ready, but will sit in the audience
and applaud you for being better at what they do
than they are. Example, Meryl Streep
with her Oscar thanking her drama professors at
Yale.
You've got your own answers, kid. We can help you find
them. But you've got the answers.
>> John (57:18):
I love that. and, you know, I think
that's what people have trouble
with. You know, they're like, what do you mean, I have the answers? If I had
the answers, I wouldn't be talking to you.
But you so eloquently put
it, is you're helping them.
You, like, you got. It's right in front of you. You're just not seeing it
(57:38):
right. S. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever that is.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (57:41):
I can hold up the mirror, but you can close your
eyes or not.
>> John (57:46):
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think,
again, being open to that and being
receptive of that, and knowing
change is a big thing. And nobody likes change,
let's be honest. Nobody wants to be told
they have to change. And, there's sometimes,
you know, fine, you don't have to change. Like you said,
Corby, like, you can totally fine, don't
(58:08):
change. That's totally up to you.
So this has been a great KE talk you for hours.
I wish I could. and, you
also, I forgot to mention you have a
podcast. Are you still doing that?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (58:21):
Did. Now, what I do most is Tik
Tock, because there's always a video there every
day. It's under the no bullshit psychic. And
it's not just telling fortunes every day at all.
It's very much the kind of talks that we had to keep
people going during tough times, how to
realign and review things.
(58:41):
And I must be doing something right. I've got 15,000
followers in two months. Who knew?
>> John (58:47):
Yeah, that's. Of course you do,
because everything you said tonight makes total sad to
me.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (58:53):
Thank you.
>> John (58:53):
And I hope to other people, too, knowing
again what's going on with your life
and your spirit guides and things you can do
to change to help yourself.
Right, so as we wrap up
here, what do you have going on, Corby,
that my spookie friends can look forward to not only looking
at your books and, Tik Took, but what else do you have?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (59:16):
Well, I do rare psychic fairs
these days, but there is one coming up
Saratoga Springs in late April. That's the Mind Bodyd
Soul Expo. But these days,
I love interacting with people.
Every Thursday night, 7:30, New York time, if
you're on TikTok.
(59:36):
Thursdays are either free reading hours or
alternate Cafe Corby. And Cafe
Corby is when we all hang out. And you
can, it's not a reading situation. You can ask
me anything you want about metaphysics,
spirituality, psychic work, and you can even ask about
me if you want. And so they
alternate free reading Cathe Corby. Free reading Cathe
(59:57):
Corby. But I'm always there Thursday nights at
7:30.
>> John (01:00:01):
Please check that out. I know I am.
we even got like again like I said,
we talk about ours. Cause we didn't get into like spirituality and
metaphysics like you said. I mean that's a who
different area, a whole different podcast. But I love
it, I love it. So thank you so much for
taking time out of your schedule. to join me on
(01:00:22):
my podcast and you know, to all my spooky friends out
there, go check Corby's, all her sites
out, go to her website where most of her
stuff is. and yeah, like she said she's on
TikTok and everything, all the different things she's doing. Please
reach out to her. One question though, I do have to ask just to
make sure. If someone wants to reach out to you
personally, what's the best way to reach out
(01:00:44):
to you?
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:00:45):
Best thing to do personally is reach out to me on my website. There
is a way to contact me there with any questions they
have.
>> John (01:00:52):
Love it. Love it. Well again, thank you
so much. I know I took a lot from this and then like I
said, there's so many things I've learned. That's me.
I love asking questions. That's why I have this podcast.
I've interviewed so many different people and I've learned
so much about the world and everything and I can't
say enough. This was, this was awesome. So thank you
(01:01:13):
again and you know, hopefully we'll see you around. Maybe we'll
have you on again. I did, last year I did
a medium roundtable which was a ton of
fun. I had mediums from all over the world
and we just talked about their craft and we just had just
niceions that it was just, it was
really fun. It was just everyone had different points of view
and everybody. It wasn't like turning into any
(01:01:35):
arguments at all either. Everybody was just like let me try that or oh,
that's really interesting. Well this is what I think. Everybody's like
totally open and it was very neat. One of the best
podcasts I did. All right, well thank you Corby. And
again, you know, please reach out. You know, get
the help you need. And, like, you know, Corby said if she's not the
one for you, she'll put you in touch with someone who can help
(01:01:55):
you. All right.
Bye, Corveby. Thank you so much.
>> Corby Mitt Leidus (01:02:00):
You're welcome.
