and only the Angel Lady and Angel Lady, welcome back
to the Excellent I was gracing you.

Speaker 7 (03:27):
Karen, Thank you, it's going to be back again, Karen.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
For listeners meeting you for the very first time here
on the Excellon. How do you How did your journey
again angel communications actually start? You know, what was the
beginning of the Angel Lady?

Speaker 7 (03:43):
Yeah, the beginning not the way I expected. I didn't
speak to dead people as child. I've always believed in
angels and kept it simple in my own life communicating
with God and angels when I was a child and
growing up but a young age. When I was around sixteen,
I made a firmness with myself and commitment to myself
and to God. I will follow my life path wherever

(04:04):
that will take me. I didn't expect it to take
me professionally talking angels and dead people, not when my
background is Maltay mental health nurse. So when I was
in the military, I started taking Just before I retired,
I started taking extensive spiritual training to be able to
communicate with a dead people. Three first angel course I

(04:27):
went on. I remember listening at the center and thinking, Wow,
I want to be just like you when I grow
up and I was in my late thirties, just getting
ready to retire from the military.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Was there a defining moment in your life when you
realized you were meant to serve as a bridge between
angels and humanity.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
Oh, not not till my late thirties. Necessarily not before then.
My purpose was peace in the world. With the military
and working as a nurse, I'm being a nurturer in
that way. So really, that didn't happen till I started
taking more spiritual training because also just driven to do it.
I just I just couldn't imagine not doing the training.

(05:08):
And that's when I realized I now have more to
offer because when I started doing private sessions communicating directly
with angels and dead people, I could take my clients
faster and further in their healing process than I could
do as a traditional mental health nurse. So when I
realized how effective and quick it was and compared to
my traditional approach as a mental health nurse counselor, I said, no,

(05:32):
I got to do more than that.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Claren, you're affectionately no one in Canada and around the
world as the Angel Lady. Now what does that? What
does that title mean to you? Personally, Well, it's.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
A tunnel monitor that people have given to me. People
actually know me more is the Angel Lady than even Karen,
which is always interesting when I'm in the crowd and
I hear rumlings, Oh there's the Angel Lady, there's the
Angel Lady, and not one mention of my name Karen,
which is always funny to me. But because people know
how passionate I am about angels and communicating with the angels,

(06:05):
So from that space doing indo readings, talking to angels
and seeing my passion, people started referring to me as
the Angel Lady.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Explanation. Karen Forrest is my special guest. Our website is
Karenforrest dot com. Many people feel angels are distant or symbolic, Karen,
how do you explain what angels really are from your
experiences as well as from your point of view.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Yeah. Yeah, if people find them distant to them, I
would say to take some time to develop a personal relationship,
and it takes time, just like a friendship does. You
have to practice with them, invoke them on a regular basis,
talk to them like you would a friend, find a
way to bring them into your personal life. Then they
will not feel so distant because before I did that,

(06:51):
they were a little more distant to me. I was
not bringing them into my everyday life because no one
had ever taught me I could until I started taking
my spiritual training.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
So let me ask you this, how do angels most
commonly communicate with people who may not like you? Yourself
understand the art of communication with angels?

Speaker 7 (07:13):
Sure? Yeah, yeah, for sure, that's been a law of practice.
Don't understanding that art and still having twenty years later
into this. The best way I tell people trust your
God instinct. You got instinct is divine guidance, and that
is angels include it. So if you're trusting your gut instinct,
whether that is through feelings or a sense of knowingness

(07:34):
or just know something feels right, if you trust that
that is a divine connection that's coming from your higher self.
You ask anyone, they get their intuition, they know what
that is for them. I just encourage people, please act
on it and listen to it. Don't ignore it, because
that's making life a little harder than necessary.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
You've written several books Saw an Angel Guidance, Karen, which
message from your books resonates most strongly in today's very
complicated world, asking for.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
A jelic helping your day life. A lot of people
don't think to do that, and that's how it makes
it more personal and more daily and more peaceful in
your life. When I started asking angels for everyday help,
I started to become less anxious and less controlling and
less tightly wound up. And I remember my family at

(08:24):
first or teach me, going, why are you so relaxed?
Why are you so calm? I'm like, that's because I'm
working with the angels more. They're like, yeah, well, whatever,
whatever that's about. It seems to be working for you.
You're more relaxed.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
For those people who are suffering or going through grief
or loss, what role can angels play in this very
emotional healing very.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Very emotional that's so much in my focus, including a mediumship,
is helping people heal through a grieving process. So what
can they do? You can feel comforted in the time
you need that comfort. You can feel less alone when
you're connecting with a divine source. You can also get
very specific guidance on what do you have to do today?

(09:11):
As part of some of the practical things you have
to deal with when there was a grieving process, whether
because someone died or you ended a relationship, or whatever
it may be. And sometimes you need some very practical
guidance on oh gosh, what do I do. They're there
to help you out with that.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
Do angels communicate differently with individuals depending on their emotional
or spiritual issues?

Speaker 7 (09:35):
Definitely, not necessarily. Definitely, if you communicate with an angel
or any dead person, it's either going to be feeling them,
seeing them, hearing them, or having a sense of knowingness.
So there's four different ways you're going to get the messages.
They can give it to you in different ways because
they're always trying to connect with you. So if you're
not hearing them, then you might see a visual sign.

(09:57):
If you're missing the visual sign, then it's going to
come through a feeling. So they give you messages in
different ways until you get the message. So I tell people,
don't worry you're going to miss a message. It's repetitive,
it's going to come to you.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
In your opinion, after doing angel readings over a number
of years as well as communicating with angels, what are
some of the most common misconceptions people have about angels
and spiritual healings.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
Sure, one of the most common misconception that I emphasize
in all my books is that people worry that if
they're going to ask angels for daily help, that they're
bothering the angels, right, and I have to keep in
mind them, you're now putting a human limitation on a
divine source. Cut it out. If you ask my help
twenty times a day, I'll say your opinion, my butt,

(10:43):
stop bugging me. I'm not an angel, you know I'm
the angel lady. You ask an angel, which I do
twenty times a day, for something that is peerlite. There's
no limitations. You're not bothering them. You're not bothering them.
People worry, you know, my bothering them for asking for
something that we label small. And I'm like, no, no,
I don't label angels don't label things big or small.

(11:06):
I definitely do, and I call upon them for both
small things like help me find a practice spot like
I was asking for today, two bigger things help me
do some healing when I hurt myself about a month
ago on my shoulder. So ask them for bigger small things.
But the label angels don't label it that way. They're
there to help you with any aspect of your life.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Can anyone learn to hear or see or sense angels
or is it a gift only a few possess?

Speaker 7 (11:30):
No, we all have it. Make it very clear to people.
I'm not special, but I have taken a lot of
time to fine tune my skills. It's practice, and it's
practice and opening myself up to listening to them or
hearing them or feeling them or sensing them around me.
So I work with that. I ask them for their
help more often. I ask for the help. There easy

(11:51):
it is for me to connect with them and understand
when I see the results. So it's not that I'm special.
And I really don't like when someone says they're special,
because I'll call one not say no, you're not. You
just might have a few more skill sets and so on.
But we can all get there if you practice like
I did.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Do you think I've got a minute before I have
to go to my break? So this is going to
be a very short answer. Do you believe that your
religious beliefs help you? As an angel? Lady?

Speaker 7 (12:19):
Religious it helped and hindered. It helped with faith because
I've always hedged on faith. It hindered me because my
religion taught me don't bother them and don't ask them
for small things and don't be bugging them. So it
hindered me in that way.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Karen forst is my special guest explanation karenforst dot com.
As the angel, how do you personally prepare yourself before
conducting an angel reading or spiritual session?

Speaker 7 (15:05):
Karen Wait, Absolutely, most of it is not just before.
It's in my daily life, so I do spiritual practice
is like the biggest thing for me is keeping my
vibrations high. So I'm doing things like asking our angel
Michael to cut any chords that can be draining me.
I do shocker clearing, but just before a session, I
will center myself and say, okay, Angels, I need you

(15:27):
to speak through me. And that's more for me. To
be clear that the messages is going to come from them.
You do not want messages from Karen Forrest. You want
messages from your angels. So I'm like, angels through me speak,
but I needed to come from you, so I sent
to myself and hold that intent.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
You've spoken about the importance of protection when working in
the spiritual realm. Karen, what are some of the essential
steps people should take if they're going to try and
communicate with angels or spirits.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
The first step, the most important step, is hold the
intent of who do you want to communicate with? So
if you're sitting there, I want to talk to my
angels and that's who I'm going to get the messages from,
then that's who's going to come through, because that's your intent.
If you sit there and say I want to talk
to the boogeyman, while Boogeyman is going to come on through, right,
So I don't worry about the devil coming through or
sneaking on in or any nonsense like that, because that's

(16:21):
not who I'm holding the intent of communicating with. So
that's the number one thing, is my intent of who
am I going to get the messages from? The second
part is I am asking God and the angels to
surround my sessions and divine white light. Whether it's a
message for myself or someone else, I always ask them
surrounded in white light, which is a sacredness and a
form of protection too.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
Do you ever receive messages from angels that come through unexpectedly,
Let's say you're out doing shopping for example.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
Yes, that's sometimes that can happen. It would be in
relation to my life for what's going on around me.
Angels are not intrusive. They're not going to tell me
what's happening with someone else's life. So I f in
the bank line up, I can stand they're quality and
not worry about that. Dead people, however, will try and
come through, but I cut them off. I have strict boundaries,
So sometimes I could be going about my business and

(17:15):
usually my mind's quiet, like for example, when I'm driving,
especially on the highway, and my mind's quiet, I'm just
doing mindless highway driving, and then I thought will pop
into my head. I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so brilliant.
This this thought just to answer the question I was
thinking about three days ago. And really it's an answer
to some kinds, I asked the angels about three days ago.

(17:36):
But when my head's quiet, it pops in the same
when I'm out for walks or at the gym, or
like this morning swimming. I was swimming and I was
just I wasn't paying atten to anything, and all of
a sudden something came into my head. I'm like, oh,
that's right, I forgot I asked about that. So when
my mind's quiet, things will pop into my head.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
What has been some of the most profound or memorable
angelic messages you've ever received?

Speaker 7 (18:01):
Yeah, yeah, there's been a few over the years, certainly
even in tougher times, like recently when I when I
was separated and divorced a year and a half ago,
and I was just ast, angels, please just get me
through this. This isn't a lot of fun to go through.
Is a human so there's a friend that's not a
loss there. But I remember the angels constantly saying we'll

(18:23):
get you through this, because I didn't know if I
could get through it. I thought I was going to crack,
and they're like, no, no, you're not gonna crack. We're
gonna get you through this. And they did. Date by day,
and they got me through through that process. So there's
always that bit of funergy and cod that come through
with the angels when I'm doing that.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
What's it like when you actually get a message from
the other side and it's either an angel or a
spirit that's a child.

Speaker 7 (18:59):
Oh child, Oh that's on. We're emotional at times. First
of all, one thing I noticed when I communicate with
children who have passed on, there is a beautiful sense
of innocence I receive around them that I'm not going
to get with an adult. I can tell right away, oh,
this is a child. This is someone who died, probably
by the age of seven or eight. Because of the

(19:20):
amount of innocence I feel around them, then there's a
simplicity in the beauty of their message, especially if they
died as a miscarried child or as an infant. There's
a beautiful simplicity of love in their messages. But they
always make it clear, which surprised me at first, but
I'm used to it now, is that even if they
were a miscarried child, even if they died is still

(19:41):
born or an infant or crib death, they are still
part of the family and proud to be part of
the family.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
I would imagine there's many times when you bring closure
to a lot of grief that a family's been having.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
That's exactly what I do. That's the process and my
focus when I communicate with DC's people. Well, it's healing
through your grief, helping to give you some closure. And
I found that in traditional mental health nursing and counseling,
it would take me longer to get there, and it
wouldn't be as deep or meaningful. But as soon as
I could bring the aspect of talking to dead people,

(20:17):
it brought a whole other level of depth to it
and meaning and like healing because a lot of the
focus is healing through unfinished business or having that closure,
and I see it all the time. It's just so
amazing that even I can do in one session that
before a normal mental health would take me six seven
sessions and still wouln't feel satisfactory to me.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
How do angels guide us, let's say, during times of
global stress or uncertainty, such as what we're seeing today
around the world.

Speaker 7 (20:50):
Yeah, we definitely got that, which is why I tell
people more than ever, you really want to be connecting
with some divine source because the world's a little crazy
and you need to When you take time to connect
with that energy or ask for their help, will bring
them in your everyday life. It gives you moments of peacefulness,
which makes it easier to get through some of the craziness.

(21:11):
If I didn't have these strong spiritual practices in the place,
I don't think i'd be doing as well. I really don't. Yeah,
so they help balance us, remind us there's still goodness
in the world. Mindus, they're still love, give us the
hope to say, look, we things can and will get better.
And I like that energy of hope and faith.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
For people who at times feel disconnected, stressed, or overwhelmed,
what simple angelic practices can they use to kind of
recenter themselves.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
Yeah. The simbolest when I encourage people to is just
sit there for thirty seconds and say, Angels, I just
want to feel your love for your presence right now
for thirty seconds. That's it. Then get on with your day,
but sit there for thirty seconds and give yourself that
permission to feel them.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Would you say that angels intervene directly in our lives
or do they guide us subtly through intuition? And synchronicities both.

Speaker 7 (22:06):
I remember one time when I was driving, it was direct.
I heard that deep moving voice coming down from heaven,
which is not how I normally hear angels, but that
one time I did because it was an emergency situation.
Rock angel Michael clearly told me slow down, like I'm
with my driving, slow down, slow down more, slow down now.
I heard it three different times, and basically it was

(22:28):
saving me from a car accident. I just didn't know
at first until it happened. So that was a little
more intense, definitely direct. Other times it's more subtle. Something's
telling you, oh, I really should do this, And that's
why I tell people, for Heaven's sakes, act on it.
They're trying to help you. They're trying to guide you.
But if you're not acting on it, you're not going

(22:48):
to get to where you're trying to get to in life.
It makes life a little bit more harder, a little
bit more of a struggle, or it can get stuck
a little bit more. If you listen to that, they're
guiding in ways you don't always understand. And so, for example,
I've had days where the angels are saying when I'm
asking what do I need to do to stay in
balance in life? They tell me to take a couple
of days off, and I can get a little snarky

(23:09):
with that, or no angels, I don't have timeic like
do you know? Do you see my schedule? And now
you're stressing me more? And they're like, no, this is
what you need to do. And then I do it
because although I'm snarky with them, I'm often ungracious with
the messages I receive. But I will bottom one and
I will listen to them. They're allize, oh, yeah, they
were right. I do feel so much better by doing
something so simple like what they're telling me to do.

(23:31):
Or yesterday or two days ago, they told me, care,
you gotta go to the beach and go for a walk.
You really need to it's been a couple of weeks
since you've been at the beach. You really need to go,
send to yourself. So I did. I took time out
of my busy day and said, all right, I'm putting
it on my calendar. I mean driving to the beach.
I'm lucky I live in Prince Vernall and I can
get to be words. It's only a twenty minute drive.

(23:52):
And I'm not sure. I took. I bubbled all up,
took and everything because it was cold out and so
I'm gonna do an Angels when you're coming with me
because it's gold out here. And I went out for walk.
I felt so much better. I felt so much better.
So I could have ignored it and said now, I
don't have time for that foolishness, even though I know
it's a good idea. I listened to them. I just grumble,
but I will listen bomb when I'll do what they're

(24:13):
taught me to do.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
I wonder how many times a day the angels try
to communicate with people and they just don't listen.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
Oh god, I'm sure multiple multiple times a day, even
for me. And sometimes I'm busy or distracted and they're
trying to get my attention and they're not getting it
right away. I don't get wrapped up about that. They're repetitive.
It's going to come to me. I pay enough attention
throughout the day, I will get the message. But even
for me, I'm like, oh, just wait, I think you're
trying to tell me something. I was kind of ignoring

(24:41):
it because I'm extracted life and trying to cook a
meal and do my gashes, shopping and everything else.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Do all those things that we have to do here
on earth that they don't have to worry about in
the angelic realm.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, as a medium as well as an angel communicator,
How does mediumship communication differ from angelic communication?

Speaker 7 (25:06):
Yeah, definitely differs. I always feel like tripling my prices
when I do mediumship mediumship, when I talk to people,
the biggest difference is you are dealing with a personality,
a human personality. I'm not dealing that with angels or
any divine source. I get nothing about pure love and
pure lighte. As soon as I talk to a DC's person,
I'm now bringing in there are various personalities as to

(25:30):
what they were like, often when they were alive, which
could be entertaining for sure, But it's a little it's
definitely more work on my behalf, it really is.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Yeah. Has there ever been a time when you've done
a medium or try to do a medium connection with
someone on the other side that the other person says,
uh h, I don't want to No.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
No, it's the lead opposite. I'm waiting for that to happen.
I've been doing this twenty years. Never happened. I've never
had a DC's person ever say yeah, I don't really
want to talk to you at all. I have had
it twice and twenty years, and I've spoken to tens
of thousands of dead people that the angel said, Karen,

(26:16):
we can't bring this person through. Their vibrations are too
low for you because I have a cut offline as
to where I'm going to communicate with dead people, so
it can't be just any dead person. They have to
have a certain vibration, higher vibration to them. It's only
happened twice where they're saying, Karen, the person you're trying
to invoke is in a lower vibrational place that's going
against your boundaries. Do you still want us to bring

(26:38):
them through? And my answer is no, don't. They're that low.
I don't want to come and from this.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Session stand by Karen. You and I have to take
another break. Xnation. I guess this hour is Karen Forrest enter.
Your website is Karenforrest dot com. And as you know
ex oonation, Karen is the angel lady. Oh wow, angels.

top of Christmas trees. You see them as ornaments on

(27:05):
the trees, you see them on Christmas cards, And of
course we all know about the angel Gabriel. We also
know about the angels that we're at the manger when
Jesus was born. I don't know I believe in angels,
just thinking about them because you have a special feeling
on inside. Karen, thanks for being with us. We'll be

(27:27):
back on the other side of the break and you're
listening to us on your hometown radio Classic twelve twenty
c fajaam right here in Saint Catherine, streaming us on
Classic twelve twenty dot CA, and as well as listening
to us and watching us on the Talk Star Radio Network,
Mutual Broadcast Network, Exone Broadcast Network, and on Tuber. We'll
be backed on the way.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Angels cobblestone streets, dressed in frost, and lad carriage bells

(28:24):
echo through the night, candles glow in windows. Why welcoming
hearts by the fireside.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Karen Forest is our special guest. She is at the
Angel Lady. Her website is Karenforrest dot com. Karen, what
have the angels told you? What it's like when we
leave this realm, this this play in this dimension and
we return to spirit. What did they tell you about that?

Speaker 7 (28:58):
With the angels? What they tell me is there's a
beautiful peacefulness to this and there's no judgment. There's absolutely
no judgment, nothing to fear, nothing to be judged. But
one point, it's the DC's people that tell me that
those ones I'm listening to, the ones that have already
gone through the process as a human, and what they're
constantly saying constantly is there's a love to it. There's

(29:21):
a lightness, there is no judgment, there is no fear.
It was it was instant. They're always talking about it
was instant, it was immediate transition. So I tend to
even listen to the DC's people talk about that more
because they're the ones that've been through it, versus listening
to an angel.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
Where did angels originate? What's the start of angels? We
know that we're born, and we know that we die,
but do we really know where angels actually started from?
Who the first angel was? How is the angel con
or is this one of the greatest mysteries of life?

Speaker 7 (30:04):
Oh, that to me is a pure mystery. I have
no idea. I wish I did because I'm curious myself.
But to answer your question, I honestly couldn't tell you
that no matter how much I asked angels and to
people those type of questions, I'm not getting an answer
or get something that to them is very honest, which
is your mind cannot understand that here on earth, Like, yeah,

(30:24):
well thanks a lot. That's not helpful. So I don't know.
I don't know. I know it comes angels come from
pure love and light. Where that originated from, I have
no idea.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
What was it like the first time that you realized
you were talking to someone who was on the other
side but you're dead.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
Yeah that yeah, as I said, that did not happen
to me as a child. That was with my training,
and I remember the first time I was kind of
terrified doing it. Not terrified of the debors, but can
I receive anything? Will it work? Like come on, I
don't know about that, and say not for this, I
just want to talk to angels, not dead people. But
in my angel therapy practitioner course, part of our practice

(31:07):
was practicing with each other on communicating with dead people.
So I had one of the other participants there and
I said, look, there's this gentleman coming through, and he
keeps showing me a map and a Teddy Bear, and
then all of a sudden, the guy burst into tears.
I'm thinking, oh my god, did I miss this up?

Speaker 6 (31:24):
Like?

Speaker 7 (31:24):
What did I do? I got the guy crying right away.
I've learned how to get used to that. I have
a lot of people cry when I talk to dead people.
But it was darling because it meant nothing to me.
The message meant nothing to me. It's not meant to
mean anything to me. It meant something to him. He
says that Teddy Bear was the first gift his partner
ever gave him. I was talking to his husband. He says,

(31:44):
it is the first gift my husband ever gave me.
He says the map is representing that whenever we traveled,
we did a lot of road trips and my partner
always used old fashion maps. He was always the one
that navigated, but not using GPS as those old fashion
maps that he always us. So it was amazing, is
what it was, and very startling.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Now are there different types of angels do we have?
I know people talk about their guardian angels, and then
there are I would imagine the regular angels if there
is such a thing.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
Yeah, I call them regular angels. I just call them angels.
We have guardian angels who are with us throughout our lifetime,
but very specific to us. Then there's various archaean agels.
So there's various types of angels that people can work with.
And I tell people, don't get wrapped up with all
the different types of names. Just pick one that works
for you, or pick a name. I don't care if
you're saying God, Jesus, Buddha, Ala, Mother, Mary, you know,

(32:43):
Saint Teresa angels, Just pick one that works for you,
or pick a few. I work with all of them
because of my spiritual training.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
Do guardian angels work with us from the time we're born?
Do they stay with us throw out our lives?

Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah, that's what I love about the guardian angels. That's
why when I do private sessions of people, I am
invoking their guardian angels. They are with you from before
you're even born, helping you with your soul contract, throughout
your whole lifetime, and then when you cross over and
then back in heaven or the after life, and then
you reincarnate and you're back with them again. So they're
always with you, and they're very specific to you.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
What's a soul contract?

Speaker 7 (33:21):
Sole contract is when your soul says, when you're in
the afterlife, before you reincarnate oror born here on earth,
it says, hey, here's what I like to do on
this earth planet. Here's some of the life lessons I
like to learn. Here's some of the ways I like
to contribute to the world. To focus on my life path. Now,
whether you live up to that or not, that's another thing.

(33:42):
But your soul can be a little lofty in what
it wants to learn it and achieve in this lifetime.
So that's your sole contract.

Speaker 6 (33:50):
How do angels view free will? You know, we're all
told that we have free will. Do they step back
until we explicitly ask for their help or do they
just at times say this and you're not getting the message,
You're going to fall off the cliff. I'm just going
to push you back and make sure you don't and
maybe it'll click on you that WHOA mustered my guardian angel.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
I'm sure. I'm sure it's been both. I love it. Yeah,
we have free will. So the angels are there saying, look,
you know, I'm trying to guide you I'm trying to
nudge you forward, I'm trying to tell you what to
do to make your life easier for yourself. That is
the free will part. But they can intervene in life
threatening situations too, and it's just not our time to

(34:32):
die to say, hey, look, I'm going to intervene and
try and save your life here. So so honestly both
but for the most part of it is it is
free will. They're not going to force us to do
anything we choose not to do, and they don't judge
us for it either. If we choose not to do something.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
Have you ever encountered resistance by that, I mean either
spiritual or personal when delivering an angel message.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
The angels don't resist me, and neither do dead people.
It's the person I'm giving the message to that consist. Yes,
that's common, and I don't mind that. I'm used to
that as a counselor because people are like, yeah, no,
I don't want to hand that. Yeah we are. You
gonna hear it because this is what they're telling you
need to do. But they can be resistant because it
involves change or revolves doing something that maybe they don't

(35:23):
want to do, even though they know in their heart
it's what they need to do. So I get resistance,
but I don't mind that because that's normal human nature.
My job is to look at what's happening that you're
resisting this message. Let's look at that brings more awareness
to you, so you can make a decision and you're
going to let some of that resistance go or not.
So it's my job as a counselor to a spiritual
counselor to help bring that awareness to someone when they're resisting.

(35:45):
But I resist messages. As I said, I'm not always
gracious when they give me a message. I'm just not.
Now they don't me write a book, I'm like, yeah,
I don't think so angel not doing that? It just
sounds like a lot of unpaid hours, which it was,
but I did it. But on mind, I do listen
to them, but I grumble a lot. I resist a
lot when they tell me to do things.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Do they ever get fed up with you?

Speaker 7 (36:07):
Oh? God love them. That's why the angels pure love
and pure light. That humans will get fed up. I
tell people, don't be putting human limitations on a divine sources.
They don't, but but humans will get very annoyed angels.
They just sit there with this one on their face.
They're just so always so happy, so joyful, so full
of love. Anytime I don't like, do you not get annoyed, angels,

(36:28):
because sometimes you know me because you don't get annoyed,
And they're like, yeah, no, we don't do that.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
It's not what do angels want humanity to understand most
clearly at this point in our collective evolution.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
Yeah, when I look at that with angels, really, what
they're saying is respecting each other's differences. We're all different
as humans, and that's okay, embrace it more. I can
just embrace it more because there's more than one way
to an angel, to God, to the divine source. And
they also remind people of having sex have some fun

(37:04):
in life, like have that balance. Yes, we get sometimes
life's not easy, but we also need to upset that
with some fun times too.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
In your readings, do angels ever comment on humanity's relationship
with the earth, nature and animals.

Speaker 7 (37:21):
Oh gosh, yes, especially if I'm communicating with fairies, which
are nature's angels. Absolutely they do. Again, not in a
judgmental way. They're not here to judge, but it will
come up frequently when either even when people aren't asking
of simple things like yeah, we do ask that you
do a little bit better with recycling, be a little

(37:43):
more cautious with the earth or what you're buying, and
paying a little bit more awareness to It can kind
of vary with each person. So for example, for me,
because I do live by the ocean, I'm always picking
up garbage that, especially if it's plastic that could possibly
get an ocean things a little bit it to my attention.
I'm picking it up, picking it up, picking up because
I do not want that in the ocean, even when

(38:04):
I'm down in Mexico doing the same thing, because they
know how much I care about the ocean, or for
so knows there could be trees and then they're helping
them have that connection with the trees.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
So we can say that angels are eco friendly, Yes,
they are, oh cool. How do skeptics respond to the
fact that you talk to angels and how does that
message resonate with the angels.

Speaker 7 (38:33):
Angels don't care because they don't judge, so they're like, yeah,
believe me, don't believe me. Whatever, they don't care. I
don't tend to care either because I have a healthy
self esteem, so some says I don't believe them, like
them don't. I don't care if you believe in what
I do and what I don't. I'm fine either way.
But I'm also busy, so it get lost. Like I
go focus on the people who are into it and

(38:54):
what I have to say, so I don't get worked
up or try to convince anyone of anything more because
I don't want to increase intolerance. If you don't believe
in it, it's okay. I didn't always believe in talking
to dead people or dead people you could like, I
didn't believe in it until I started taking my training.
It was hard for me to ignore because it kept
coming up. So I get it, and I'm not here

(39:16):
to convince anyone of anything because I don't want to
create intolerance. I've witnessed enough of that my military career.
I don't want to I don't want to contribute to that.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
What was it in your training that made it possible
for you to do what you're doing.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
The biggest part is is with my mentors. My teachers
are teaching us to trust what we receive, also to
have some fun with it, which I do. I tell people,
don't take it so seriously. It is meant to be fun.
Might not relax about it, but also just believe because

(39:53):
like like like through practice, they they mean it clear. Look,
you know, go practice it. You'll see for yourself. And
that's what I had to do because when they're talking
about reincarnation or talking to dead people, and I'm like, oh,
come on, God it and so I'm not for this,
and so I'm not to talk to dead people. I
just want to talk to angels. And God's like, no,
I need you to do both because you're you're a
spiritual counselor you're a healer. And when you're counseling people

(40:14):
they're grieving, they have to talk to those that have
passed on. So I had. So it was really they
taught me open up my mind too, open up my mind,
and that was a big stretch for me socially. When
they talk about fairies and like, I don't believe in fairies.
I do now, but I didn't. Then they're talking about
things I didn't believe in. So I really just had
to try to keep my mind open as much as

(40:35):
possible and to encourage that.

Speaker 6 (40:37):
So basically you had a spiritual rebirth.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
Oh i'm a certainly did yeah very step one, Yes,
I did? Yeah, huge.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
All right, Karen, you and I have to take our
final break for this hour explanation. Caring Forest is our

from hard school this bee set. The world feels riding

(42:54):
where the will.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
And was.

Speaker 6 (42:57):
Current forest is our special guest, the angel Lady Karen
forrest a dot Com. One of the questions I'm sure
you get asked is how can people know if angels
are actually trying to get their attention. What are some
of the signs that people should look out for or

(43:18):
pay attention to. I should say.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
Yeah, First, the repetitiveness is something tells you over and
over and over again. That's a divine message. If it
feels really strong and people use those words, it feels
so strong, I feel pulled towards this like I cannot
ignore it as much as I want to. That's a
divine message. That's a message from your angels. And if

(43:42):
you sit with it and just ask yourself, does this
feel right to me? And you sit within it it
feels right, then that's another sign. This is from your angels.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Do angels give people warnings? Or guidance about upcoming life challenges,
or do they strictly focus on the comfort and support.

Speaker 7 (44:05):
Both. It's more in the here and now, though, As
I said, when I when I've gone through significant concerns
or life struggles, they're there for me. They're absolutely there
for me. I don't necessarily get warning it's about to happen.
Pretty rare. I remember a couple of times just before
so close to me passed where I just felt really

(44:28):
I felt like I was grieving for no reason and
know why. Now I've learned to recognize that, I'm like, oh,
just right, they're trying to tell me something's about to happen.
And then i'd find out. I'm like, oh, now I
understand why I felt sad for two days before this
person died. I didn't know it's about to happen. So
they're kind of give me like what I call them
military terms and heads up about that. But they're guarding you.

(44:49):
They're guarding you, they're sending you comfort. You could see
their n ass for a very specific guidance. I do
that all the time for my life and for other
people's lives, and they're there to give you specific answers.
But it's very much focused on the here and now.

Speaker 6 (45:05):
How can listeners begin building their own relationships with their angels?

Speaker 7 (45:08):
Karen, First, I giving themselves permission to do so that's
where it starts to say, Hey, you know what, I
actually want a relationship with you. To start with that
simple step. Then sit with them each day, even if
it's only for thirty seconds, because that's how you start
to get familiar with their energy and familiar with their peacefulness.
Because I often find when I'm working with my clients,

(45:30):
some of them are really not used to that peaceful energy.
And I can tell them like, you're not used to this? Oh,
You're like this feels very foreign to you to be
around peaceful, calm energy. They're like, yeah, I'm not used
to that. I'm like, okay, we'll just sit with a
little bit more because then it won't be so foreign
when you're asking for help or needing help or getting
guidance or feeling their energy around you. So it's practicing.
Then the next biggest thing I tell people ask them

(45:52):
for your helping your daily life, because then you will
see results like I did. I was really shocked with
when I started to ask just everyday things including providing
the means for things. How quickly I would get answers
and would see results, and then those harp me to
ignore their ability to help you in your daily life

(46:14):
when I was seeing results.

Speaker 6 (46:17):
How do or how can people differentiate between an angel
message something that either an angel is telling them or
somebody on the other side is telling them from their
own imagination that they want to hear something so so strongly,
so bad that they start to question their own selves.

(46:38):
And how do they differentiate between the real message and
the message that they're giving themselves.

Speaker 7 (46:46):
Yeah, and it's not always easy, and it comes to practice, honestly,
it just does. Because they're gonna be like birdlines there.
When you're working with angels and your loved ones in heaven,
they're going to give you the same advice. They're not
going to give conflicting advice. The wording can be a
little bit different, and humans will have a humanists in
their wording and some judgment in the wording that an

(47:08):
angel won't have, but they're still going to tell you
to do the same thing. So when people are like,
you know, look, I really want this, I really want this.
How do I know this is? You know It's not
just me saying I want this, it's them saying this
is a good thing for me. That's where I say,
sit down, connect with an angel or dead person. I
connect with just one at a time and say you

(47:30):
and only you, angels are dead people, what do you
have to say? And then you're pinpointing yourself to focus
on what they're saying and getting out of your own head,
and then you know it comes from them. The more
often you do with it, the easier it gets. You
stop doubting yourself. I don't doubt my abilities anymore at all.
I just do it all day long. I'm so used

(47:51):
to it. But at first I'm like, oh, well this
is so you know, am I making stuff up? People
have notsked that, Like, you know, how do I know
I'm not making it up? Well? First, yeah, which is
a good question. First of all, I'm giving messages to
other people. But honestly, even for myself, I'm not creative enough.
I wish I was. That's so not my reality. I'm like,
I am not creative enough to make this stuff up.

(48:13):
At the last second, like, I only wish I was
that creative. If I was a creative person, maybe that
would be more of a question. I'm not okay, And
the answer is instant too. It's instant. I'm not that fast.
I'm a thinker. I'm just not and neither are you,
so you know it's coming from them.

Speaker 6 (48:32):
Do we angels have sense of humor? Are they comics? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (48:37):
Oh my gosh, they're so funny. So it's God, they're funny.
And at first I didn't know that because more in
a religious sense, you're not taught about the sense of
humor that they have. They take it pretty intense and serious.
And then when I'm working with them, like you making
me laugh. You know, the words you choose, the things
you say, the images you show me, You are making

(48:57):
me laugh. You have a sense of humor, And I
love out about working with angels.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
How do the people that you're working with, who are
actually getting the angel reading, how do they like it
when you start laughing because the angels are playing you
are kidnassing with you.

Speaker 7 (49:13):
They think it's funny too, and it makes it more
personable and more human like to because it's hard to
connect or feel a connection with something that you can't
even laugh with. Right when you can laugh with a being,
including an angel, it makes it more likable or relatable

(49:33):
to you, but it can be a little certain there.
Like angels got a sense of heremor I'm like, yeah,
they do, they do. They make me laugh all the time.
So of your dead relatives they make me laugh harder,
but certainly angels do it too.

Speaker 6 (49:46):
Yeah, you know here we are. We're in the Christmas
season of twenty twenty five. How do you celebrate Christmas?

Speaker 7 (49:52):
Care? Oh, a family Christmas Eve. Thirteen people at my
house and they're on this Christmas Eve. We love being
around family and friends, so we have a large group
coming for typical maritime or dinner. We're having seafood, chowder
and very typical meat pie French Canadian meat pie. Christmas

(50:12):
Day is with part of my family, but not all
of them, because I got too many people. I'm very
lucky below my family lived nearby me, so I got
a few family relatives on spending Christmas Day with. But
for me, it's like a seasonal thing. I've already started.
I'm already going to Vinsit my brother for a Christmas
concert this week. I've got I'm going to hotel in

(50:34):
Halifax with my sister. The season Christmas place, so the
seasons are for me, it's just taking time for being
my friends and my family.

Speaker 6 (50:42):
When you've got thirteen members of your family in your house,
how many angels are there as well? There must be
more than more angels than people.

Speaker 7 (50:54):
There is and dead people. That's what's even more funny
is at least although they're my relatives, they'reatives too that
are dead. But then we have some friends thrown in.
So I'm picking up on energy of all these divine beings,
all their guardian angels, the fairies which are the elementals
that I invite for any family get together, and our
dead relatives, I'm picking up onus. They're part of the celebration.

(51:16):
And that's a common message our loved ones from heaven
say this time of year is like we're going to
be there. We're not missing out. We are going to
be there. And it's also my busiest season for mediumship.
People are trying to the mister loved ones that are
trying to bring them into their celebrations over the holidays.
So I only take four days off for Christmas. That's it.

(51:37):
It's all I have time for. I'm very busy leading
up to Christmas, and then the week after is one
of my busiest weeks of the year. Karen, what is.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
The most important message that the angels are asking you
to share with the world tonight here on the excell
and Broadcast Network.

Speaker 7 (51:54):
Believe in themselves and the greatness of who they are.
So believe in themselves as a human, as a person,
and the greatness. The angels always trying to help us
recognize the greatness within us. And we don't give ourselves
enough credit for how great we are, and they're trying
to help us recognize that.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
All right, that was the message from the angels. Now,
what is your message that you would like to leave
with the listeners of the XR.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
What I want people to know they're not alone in
this world. I know sometimes people feel lonely, but please
reach out to some divine being, whatever name you want
to put to it, or what a DC's person that
you feel most comfortable with. Just pick somebody. You're not
alone in this world. You're absolutely not alone.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
What are your plans for next year?

Speaker 7 (52:39):
Next year, well, definitely a trip to Mexico, probably in April,
and I'm looking at going to Ottawa for the Governor
General Awards again this year, and other than that, not
too sure, but I do love to travel quite a bit,
so no doubt's more traveling.

Speaker 6 (52:58):
Your books. Were your book available, Karen, Yeah, you can.

Speaker 7 (53:02):
Go through my website and it will have the information there.
But Amazon sells them, Chapters will sell them online, and
then my publisher, Nimbus Publishing also sells my books.

Speaker 6 (53:13):
Are going to Are you going to be doing any
online courses this year?

Speaker 7 (53:18):
Probably not online. I am too lazy to learn and
figure that out. But I am doing more courses. For
a while, I stopped doing them during like COVID and
a few years after, but now I'm starting to get back,
but most of them are in person, not online.

Speaker 6 (53:34):
When you were a little girl, did you ever think
that you would be doing what you do today the
Karen the angel lady talking to angels and dead people
and fairies.

Speaker 7 (53:47):
No, I never thought about that as a little girl.
I dreamt more being a nurse, which I was in
the military, and certainly counseling people, so I do do that.
I never saw it as let's talk to angels and
dead people type of counseling, even in my twenties, not
to my late thirties that even start to conceive of
that aspect of my life because it's just it's unique

(54:09):
what I do. I didn't know anyone who did that
for living, and did it professionally, and did it more
