An Interview with a Psychic Medium

In my first official episode I sit down with Sheri Perbeck, a Psychic Medium who resides in the very haunted and beautiful city of Wilmington, North Carolina. This interview takes place two months after my mom's death and I am very much a skeptic at this point. I had a spiritual awakening months later (shortly before this episode sees the light of day) but by no means do I have it all figured it out currently. In fact, even with my spirit encounters and intuitive abilities coming to surface I have more questions than answers. This is the start of my search for something that I thought was impossible, but that I am starting to believe in: the other side.

Sheri and I talk grief, the reality of being a Psychic Medium, and the relatability of feeling like you are losing your mind. We also learn more about Sheri's Angel encounters and her story of how the loss of her dad solidified her path to becoming a Medium. She shares with us how she believes spirit communicates and how magic is all around us.

SPEAKER_07 0:16

So have you ever had an existential crisis?

SPEAKER_02 0:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 0:20

Are you having one right now?

SPEAKER_02 0:22

No. Okay. I am not having an existential crisis right now.

SPEAKER_07 0:25

That is fantastic. What was that like? Um, a lot. I don't know. Fair. Fair enough. Are you currently going through one or is this something that's happened in the past? More in the past. Okay. Do you believe in the paranormal?

SPEAKER_05 0:43

Um, I believe that it is possible. I kind of go back and forth on like, I don't know. Like, I'm not fully convinced, but I'm also not like fully convinced either wing.

SPEAKER_06 0:57

So you would say that you're paranormal curious.

unknown 1:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:02

The definition of that I think um means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but I would say all the time, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:09

So yeah, like currently in the state of the world.

SPEAKER_06 1:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:13

Yeah. Same here, friend. Do you believe in the paranormal?

SPEAKER_06 1:17

Um, I don't believe in anything concretely.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

I've seen and heard things that I can't explain.

SPEAKER_07 1:55

On September 26, in 2025, my mom passed away in front of me. This experience, along with my profound grief, has completely changed my reality and my understanding of the world. As somebody that grew up Roman Catholic, but my whole adult life has been atheist and agnostic leaning, I find myself in a position where I'm not satisfied with the answers, and I need to know more. I'm going on a quest to find my mom. This audio adventure will have us interview different psychics, spiritual leaders, and everyday people to have better clarity on psychic abilities, spirit communication, and if there's more magic in the world than meets the eye. Today we are going to be talking to Sherry Perbeck, a gifted psychic medium and energy worker in Wilmington, North Carolina. Sherry's father, Louis Franklin Ledoux, had a profound positive impact on her and her spiritual growth. After he suddenly passed decades ago, she became more immersed in the world of spirit. She channeled her pain into purpose in the realm of healers, mediums, and psychics. Currently, she helps bridge the gap between our world and the spirit world by helping others see beyond the veil. She's a practicing medium and uses her abilities to heal in private or group settings, as well as facilitates workshops and hosts private parties. Sherry currently offers a monthly community gathering called Angel Speak, where she connects and channels info from the angelic realm. So I'm gonna let her as well introduce herself in her own words so we can better get to know her. All right, I am here with Sherry Perbeck in her She Shed. Sherry, do you want to introduce yourself?

SPEAKER_03 3:44

Uh sure. Well, I'm Sherry, and I am a psychic medium, and I communicate with the angels, and I'm a healer.

SPEAKER_07 3:53

So everyone's probably pretty curious. How did you get into this line of work?

SPEAKER_03 3:58

That's a good question. Well, when my when I was uh in my 30s, I think it was in my 30s, actually, my early 40s. I thought you were in your 30s.

SPEAKER_07 4:08

I wanted to clarify that. Oh wow, thank you. The skin is skinning.

SPEAKER_04 4:12

Oh wow, thank you.

SPEAKER_03 4:14

It's the go, it's the go. But yeah, my my dad got sick at the age of 57. I'm really sorry to hear that. Yeah, and he he died three weeks of us knowing he was even sick, so it really shook me up. I was a dance girl. That's such a short amount of time, too, to even grapple with that. It was. It was really it it sometimes this happens. These gifts come about through tragedy. And you know, I I always had the gift, but I didn't know it. I there was no name on it. My dad was gifted, and but I would go to him when I would see spirits and he would just explain things to me. But it was never a a thing, it was just this is what we experience, and that's it, you know. I have a question about that.

SPEAKER_07 5:01

So when you were younger, you said you've always had this gift, didn't you? You try to dismiss it as just like, oh yeah, that can't be anything.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Oh no, I knew what I saw. Yeah, there was no okay, I didn't see that. I knew what I saw. Because of your family, maybe your history? No, not at all. Because it started when I was like five years old. So, but it was scary to me because when you're five years old or four or five, and you see an apparition, you don't know if it's good or bad for the child. It's it's just scary. So, how did you determine that it was something that was good and positive? Well, first of all, my dad would explain to me, you know, that was his biggest question was what it look like, you know, how did you feel? So that he he wanted to determine if it was good or bad, you know, and he was good at that, he was good at discernment, and he was good at praying, so he would pray if he no matter what, people would call him for prayers. He was a real godly man. What was his background again? Um, he was a machinist. Wow, yeah, okay. Yeah, he used to he used to fix machines, he worked in a machine shop, no handy man, but he uh he was just so spiritual, you know. Like he never went to church. Really? Yep, no, it just came from within. Came from within. He was such a godly loving man, and um, and fun too. Yeah, you know, he was just a lot of fun, a lot of things.

SPEAKER_07 6:22

It's hard to lose somebody like that. That's like the life of the party. That's it.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

He was the light of the family, you know, and I have four brothers. Are you guys close still? We are, yeah, we're still close. That's awesome. Yeah, but so when my dad died, it came flooding. Yeah, I mean, I would see spirits come into my bedroom. I saw my spirit guides, I even saw fairies.

SPEAKER_07 6:45

So at this point, after your father had passed away, you were already very comfortable with this world, you understood. No. Oh, okay. No, but to get the clarification there for our listeners.

SPEAKER_03 6:56

No, that's a very good question. Yeah, it was just uh, you know, like, okay, I experienced this. Like, I'm gonna get a psychic reading from somebody else. I knew I I knew I was a little bit psychic, but I never claimed it. I don't know the name of that, you know.

SPEAKER_07 7:10

It's so interesting because like now look at you, you know. Oh yeah, I'm neat now. Now these, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:15

You're like, this is it. Yeah. But what happened was God is always there for you. Always. You have to just want the answers and seek God, and you'll get them. So I met a medium. Actually, I was working in a salon as an esthetician.

SPEAKER_07 7:33

Really?

SPEAKER_03 7:34

So my first experience was where the skin comes from, probably, right? Yeah, good skin care. So I started to experience what a medium was. I started to experience what a healer was, and then I came upon a school, healing school, in Connecticut where I live. And it was a two-year healing program that changed my life. And it wasn't that the school taught me to be psychic or a medium. Sure. The school was based on hands-on healing with 13 different healing techniques, but with that we learned how to heal the inner child. And since I learned to heal my inner child and continually do, I can now help others do the same. And with that hands-on healing, my third eye popped open.

SPEAKER_07 8:18

Can you explain to maybe people who don't understand what does that mean to you? The third eye.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Oh, sure. You see within your mind. Okay. Okay, they call it the third eye.

SPEAKER_07 8:28

Like a state of being and awareness, perhaps? Sure, that.

SPEAKER_03 8:31

Yeah. We have the chakra points within our body that a lot of people have heard of, you know? And that would be the sixth chakra that they consider the third eye, which is located between the eyebrows. So then it was like, oh, wait a minute. I've been doing this for a long time since I was a little girl. But I was so afraid when I was a little girl that I I just would pretend that I was having conversations with myself. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 9:00

Wow. So you think that there's a possibility there's a lot of other people that experience this and just have no idea what they're navigating?

SPEAKER_03 9:09

Absolutely. Yes. I meet them a lot. People come in for readings and and I'll see it, and I'll say when you can admit that you know things or see things.

SPEAKER_07 9:20

So you were just mentioning people not being aware of their gifts. Do you, as a psychic medium, feel like everyone equally has an opportunity to experience this, or do you feel like certain people are more connected, perhaps?

SPEAKER_03 9:34

Well, I want to say both, really. Okay. Can you explain that? Sure. We all have it because we're made of energy. We come from the same source. So therefore we do have it. But if somebody looks towards the dark, they're gonna come from the dark.

SPEAKER_07 9:51

And a choice of which way you're gonna go, sure.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Yes, now I'm gonna give you an example. I hold groups and I had a I was holding a group and they wanted to work on their gifts. And one girl, she her readings were they were dark. And she thought, well, maybe that's just me. And I thought, well, maybe it is. And I did say that to her, maybe it is, but you can make the decision to either come from the dark or the light. Okay, so it's a conscious choice that you're it's a conscious choice. I mean, uh it really is. It's just like us in the morning, right? We get up and we can choose to be happy that day and see life in a positive manner. And some people get up and they choose not to. So that's the choice. It's the same thing.

SPEAKER_07 10:41

Do you feel like that's something you struggle with at all? Or do you feel like it's easier with your spirituality? Oh, I do struggle.

SPEAKER_03 10:48

Uh, I struggle with seeing the dark. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 10:51

I mean, that's not a bad place to be in, you know. I I'm happy for you that that is your experience now, you know?

SPEAKER_03 10:56

Well, here's the thing. Now I don't believe that I ever had to struggle to stay away from the dark, but there is truth in both. Okay, so it is important for me to see if there's something dark around somebody. Sure. Because people pay me.

SPEAKER_07 11:15

Does that mean something they struggle with that would be the dark, or is it like the way they view the world, perhaps?

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Or an entity.

SPEAKER_07 11:21

Interesting. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:22

I'd like to hear more about that. Sure. More than anything, it's me, like I'll see behind somebody, okay, this dark shadow, and they'll block me from seeing their loved ones. And so, you know, it's I of course I don't want to deliver that to somebody to say you've got a dark shadow behind you. But I will tell you, when it does happen, they know. They will say to me, Oh my god, I I knew it. I knew there was something around me. Nine times out of ten, they will know where stream, how they can get rid of that. It's fascinating. It could either be an influence or an attachment.

SPEAKER_07 12:02

Okay. So I'm not sure how Googleable I am. So I'm not sure how much you looked into me, but I did mention that I'm somewhat of a skeptic, of course, respectful and really intrigued by everything about you. To be uh really transparent, the reason I'm here and the reason I'm making this podcast is because my mom died two months ago. Okay. And she was Roman Catholic. I thought I was agnostic. I'm going on this journey because I'm like, I'm having an existential crisis. Let me make a podcast about it. When I decided to visit my brother, it was like, you seem like a qualified psychic with good reviews. And I liked the idea of your experience with angels. So that's kind of a little bit about my background. And I just wanted to gather information from everyone to go on this journey. I love it. From just viewing me, is there any is that like how that process works for you? Are you able to tell anything about what I've been through, or is that something that takes a while? Well, I tap into that.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

I trained myself to I I go into prayer and then I go into it. And I guess it's because I used to be really, really afraid when I was a little girl.

SPEAKER_07 13:12

Afraid of just spirits. Yeah. Yeah. So you saw them, right? Oh, yeah. What's here when you're a kid. Kind of in line to what you were saying and what I mentioned about my mom, I feel like I'm in this position where I'm not sure what I believe. And I want to believe that there's an afterlife and there's more out there. But I find myself struggling, like I'm sure a lot of listeners do, with I can't seem to find proof. You know, where do I look? Where do I turn to? I just want something tangible. What would you say to people like me?

SPEAKER_03 13:43

Well, I think a part of our journey is to not be given the proof.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

Really?

SPEAKER_03 13:52

Absolutely. And it's a long road. It sure is. Believe me, I've been on it.

SPEAKER_07 13:59

From somebody that lost their dad, you know.

SPEAKER_03 14:01

I know the pain. It's all well. It's a real bitch. And I have and the worst are the parents that come in. We have children who died.

SPEAKER_07 14:11

I I can't imagine it.

SPEAKER_03 14:12

So I want to say this to you. What is it that drives you to find the answers is what you should be looking at. Because it is your soul that is driving you. It is the wanting of the wake-up call. And it's not, I want to say this to you. We as a society are too wrapped up in two religions and what kind of religion and blah blah blah blah blah. I agree. And if we could just accept God and Jesus, they will show you. But there is that's what it's called faith. Yeah, it's taken a leap of faith. I don't believe any of us have all the answers. So while you're looking for your answers, know that there's not one person who has all the answers. None of us do.

SPEAKER_07 15:00

Yeah, I guess um that's beautifully said, by the way. My point of view and my struggle is, you know, and this is a very human thing. I'm I'm almost a little jealous of the fact that you, you know, you experience things that seem like you can make sense of it in a way. Sure. Because I'm sure there are a lot of people that are like, you know, if I just knew a little bit, right? And I'd feel a little bit better, right?

SPEAKER_03 15:22

And I'll and I'll see what I can do while I'm sitting here. Yeah, mom. But but it let me tell you. Sure. It has not been an easy road. Oh, I I believe it. Not at all. And even to this day, I ask I ask for guidance all day. Every day. I ask Jesus for guidance every day. Does your mother like stuff? Things? Things. I mean, what do you mean by that? Can you clarify? No, she looks like the vision that I'm getting is she's holding a bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_07 15:54

I mean not really, like um I mean, how much do you want me to tell you? I don't know how your process works here.

SPEAKER_03 16:05

Well, uh, it's like playing charades. Sure. It's playing charades, it's absolutely what it is. So when they give me a vision, I usually just tell you if I don't know the other story, but there's something about your mother, she's holding she's holding stuff. They don't normally hold stuff. Could be she had attachments to the physical.

SPEAKER_07 16:30

I think towards the end she was uh letting go of that. I mean, the main thing was like the people in her life, but you know, she was a very educated woman who learned a different language and came here from Peru, so Oh. I don't know if the stuff could be the stuff could be books, this stuff could be information. And I don't expect you, you know, to be able to like, you know, find my mother. And actually, that's a great question. Little segue is how does your process work? If someone were to come in here and be like, hey, this is what's going on. Oh, sure. I'll tell you exactly. Yeah, how do you connect?

SPEAKER_03 17:02

I say a prayer before everybody gets here. Okay. Using your names, and then I sit down and I get quiet. I breathe out and I relax into my body, and I clear my mind. My mind has to be cleared. So my own stuff isn't there, it's empty. Okay. And then I say another prayer in front of you, and then I just open up the gate to them.

SPEAKER_07 17:28

And you see it in your mind.

SPEAKER_03 17:30

Some people I see their faces, I always get visions. Like I said, it's literally like playing charades. Yeah. And sometimes I hear them in my mind. Sometimes they come to me in the morning before you guys come, which is always so funny because I'll I just sit there, do my hair, and makeup, and I get all this stuff in my head, and I'm like, oh, okay. Wonder who that's for. And it always plays out.

SPEAKER_07 17:54

And can I ask you this in the most respectful way? This is like I am loving this conversation. Do you get people who, whether they come in here and try to get some guidance or just in your everyday life, who think you are like cuckoo bananas because they themselves don't understand how to make sense of it?

SPEAKER_03 18:12

Yeah, no, God sends me the greatest people.

SPEAKER_07 18:14

Well, I'm I'm happy about that.

SPEAKER_03 18:16

Yeah, once in a blue moon, I'll get somebody who is, you know, I don't know why they bought a slot to come and see me. Rarely, I rarely get those. Most of the time, people come, they're open. They're open. And I think that, you know, TV has helped us with that to let people know that this is possible.

SPEAKER_07 18:37

Sure, sure. On that note, do you feel like there are psychic mediums who aren't necessarily truthful like you?

SPEAKER_03 18:45

And how would you tell them apart? You know, I don't I don't think there's as many out there anymore as there used to be.

SPEAKER_07 18:52

Just in general, sure.

SPEAKER_03 18:54

In general. Um, you know, I never met one who pretended to be a medium. I don't know how they would get away with it. I don't know how they could possibly get away with it.

SPEAKER_07 19:05

I think there's an idea out there, and I'm not sure if it's from television or just 90s back in the day. Yeah. You know, they had all those weird shows, but I think there's an idea that at least some people I know have where psychic mediums prey upon people who have lost people. And I understand wanting to be protective of people that are grieving, but you have your own grief story. It would strike me as odd for you to be doing that. And I think a lot of people, even if there are some psychics that aren't legit, I'm sure a lot of people just don't know how to make sense of something that they themselves don't experience or aren't looking for, you know. Sure.

SPEAKER_03 19:41

Yeah, yeah. I mean, if anything, I think there's more fake psychics than there are fake mediums. Okay, that would be a great distinction to get into. Yeah, you're the pro. Yeah, because I again I don't know how people could fake be in a medium. Yeah. And word spreads quick. So if if you're somebody who preys on uh pain from their loss, people aren't stupid. Yeah, then you're just a jerk face, yeah. Yeah, but but again, really, I don't know how. Now I've had people say to me, You must have Googled me. And I'm like, oh my god. One, I don't have time to do that. I wouldn't remember what the hell I read because I don't retain information. Like I could give a client a reading here this morning, and what is it, 3 30 now or something? Yeah, I wouldn't remember what was said.

SPEAKER_07 20:29

Do you just feel like that's who you are naturally like a little bit forgetful, or do you feel like that's the nature of the work you do?

SPEAKER_03 20:34

Well, it's both. It's the nature of job. ADHD hello. Yeah, yes. But really, more than anything, it's because of what I do, and I'm gonna tell you why. Because it's not the information is not from me. I'm channeling that information from spirit.

SPEAKER_07 20:49

Do you hear a different voice in your head when you get this information?

SPEAKER_03 20:53

No, it's my voice.

SPEAKER_07 20:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:55

Um, I will pick up their twang or a little bit of a um okay, I'll give you an example. I had a girl in one of the groups who came in, she sat down recently. She didn't say a word to me. I had never met her before. And in angels speak, I walk around, put my hands on everybody for healing work while they're under medication. And I heard her, um, I think it was a grandmother, say to me, That's my ducta. That's my ducta. But I could hear that it was she had an accent, right? So afterward, and then we go around the room talking, and that was her language. She started speaking. I said, Oh my god, listen. A grandmother came in and said that you were her ducta. But it was the fact that I knew she had an accent and she had never spoken to me. And she didn't have an accent herself, right? Though the one she did, so when she did it, I knew. Okay. Yeah. I said, Oh my god. Now again, it wasn't her mother, it was her grandmother. Sure. So the spirits, that's what they will do. It's my daughter or it's mom. It might be grandmother, but mother, mother, grandmother's mother.

SPEAKER_07 21:58

Okay, that's interesting.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

Just my way, I guess. But you see what I mean? Even though it's in my mind and it's my own voice, I picked up on that accent that the grandmother had.

SPEAKER_07 22:08

Yeah, that's really cool.

SPEAKER_03 22:09

Isn't that cool?

SPEAKER_07 22:10

I'm sure she was blown away by that too.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

She was. It's amazing. Yeah, it's you know, it's amazing. Um, you never know how they come in, what they're gonna say. But here's the thing they're on the ride of their life in heaven. The spirits? Yeah, they're in heaven. It's nothing you can imagine.

SPEAKER_07 22:29

How can they connect with us? And why does it seem like sometimes people want a connection, but they don't seem to get it? At least to their understanding, right?

SPEAKER_03 22:37

Sure. Because it could be that God needs you to do some work on yourself. Probably awesome. I mean if I'm being honest. We all need human though. There's no question about that. Yeah. But yes, absolutely. Like sometimes I can't get a reading. Well, years without getting a reading because I just can't. Really?

unknown 22:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 22:58

Oh, I appreciate you saying that, you know. I feel like that humanizes you and it it shows that you're not just in it to make money, you know?

SPEAKER_03 23:06

No.

SPEAKER_07 23:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

I do things people have no idea what I do. I believe it. Yeah. Without charging.

SPEAKER_07 23:12

So, can I ask you about your father? How often do you feel his presence or connect with him? Is this something that's only happened in the past or is this something that currently happens?

SPEAKER_03 23:21

Oh no, it's it's not as often anymore. By the first two years of his passing, I would hear him calling my name in the morning. He made um alarms go off that didn't have batteries in them, like the old big Ben. Yeah, the apparatus. No battery, the thing's going off. He would wipe my tears. I'd be on the couch crying, and he would literally wipe my stand.

SPEAKER_07 23:41

That's incredible. And that makes me very happy because I'm sure that helped you. I mean, grief is a real bitch and is the hardest thing. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 23:49

I felt him hug me, real hug me, vibration. I woke up during the night one night and knew he was standing next to my bed. And as I turned over with my arm, I went through his spirit.

SPEAKER_07 23:59

And you felt that.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Yes, it was amazing.

SPEAKER_07 24:02

Does everybody in your life do you feel like because they know you, they have more of a connection to the spirit realm?

SPEAKER_03 24:10

Well, funny you should say that I have attracted through the years a spiritual group. I believe that's yeah. For sure. It's like my you know, it that's that's how that works. And it's absolute great support, and I need the support. Oh, yeah, we all do. We all do, no matter what kind of work we do.

SPEAKER_07 24:28

So that you lost your brother.

SPEAKER_03 24:29

Yeah, I lost one of my brothers uh at 45 in a car accident. I am so sorry. He came to me and showed me how he died. Uh how long after he passed, did he show you that? The next day when I was on an airplane going home. And when I got home, my my mentor, my media mentor, reached out to me while I was in Connecticut and said, Your brother came to me, and it she confirmed everything that he told me.

SPEAKER_07 24:57

So before like the knowledge was out there, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

Oh, yeah, absolutely. In fact, Patty didn't, I I hadn't talked to Patty in years at that point. This was years past that she was my mentor.

SPEAKER_07 25:07

How did you feel in that moment when you found that out? You know, from your mentor.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

Well, I'll be honest with you, I didn't need, I did not need the validation because I know what I got. It was great. I was grateful for her that she did do that. Because when I told my family, that gave me a little bit of a backup for, you know, because it was everything, and it was so funny because she didn't even know who it was. Yeah. She's like, brother, did your brother have a big head? And I'm like, he did. He actually did. Well, she said, Sherry came in the curtain and I started laughing, and she said, Who are you? And he said, Sherry's brother. And then she knew right away it was one of her girls that she mentored, you know.

SPEAKER_07 25:47

I'm so sorry about your brother. I mean, and your father. Yeah, it's hard, it's hard to carry our bed around.

SPEAKER_03 25:53

Oh, it's very hard. But I want to say this to you the more you, the more you seek. Okay. And this is advice for your listeners, too. Sure. Who are out there who are grieving. We need to know they're alive and or where they are now, okay? You don't have to just see a medium to get your answers. There are people who have had near-death experiences. I've been listening to a lot of those recently.

SPEAKER_07 26:23

Good.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Good. Because, you know, their stories will resonate with you. And when they resonate with you, that means truth. Yeah. Some people will even get a chill on their arm. That means it's true. Your spirit is telling you. And so when you it sort of helps to bring you closer to God. And then you get to see the magic of God, how magical God is, and how loving Jesus is when you hear these experiences that people have, then your perception changes.

SPEAKER_07 26:52

Truly listening to these NDs has made me have more hope than I have in months. You know? Right. My mom passed a few months ago. I do not understand how people are supposed to carry on while believing in nothing.

SPEAKER_03 27:06

I don't either.

SPEAKER_07 27:07

And that's like why I've turned to this. And you know, I live in Portland, Oregon. It's a pretty anti-religious city. Before I thought I could make sense of the world with like what is materialistically in front of me, what we can see. And I just feel like once you experience loss like this, you're like, that is not enough. You know, there's not. There's gotta be something else. And for me, I'm like, I have to find my mom. I don't want to know what's out there, you know.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

You want to know where she is. Yeah. But see, you have to first understand something. The God is amazing. We are in a lower vibrational existence. There's negativity here, there's dark here. So the higher we climb the ladder to heaven, the more magical it gets. So your belief has to become a lot more magical than to get your answers. I'm gonna give you an example, okay? Please. And we have a greater understanding of what the hell we're here for. What do you think that is? Because I'm still trying to figure it out right now. Yeah, that's it's a lot of things. Are you kidding me? It's a lot. Yeah, it's it took me 20 years to understand this stuff. I'm getting to that. So I had a woman came in and I said, Your father's standing next to a blue car. Or was it a blue car or a blue shirt? No, I think he was wearing a blue shirt. But he was leaning up kids' car either way. And I said, He's, you know, really happy. And she said, Well, that's not a big deal. Like, you know, I'm just like, maybe he was really happy when he got in the car. So towards the end of the reading, she said, Yeah, my dad, she goes, I don't know why he would mention a car. He didn't get his license until he was 21 or something. And I said, So you don't think that wasn't a big deal for him? How many people have to wait until they're that age to get a car? That was his first vehicle. So here's the thing. When we're in heaven, the most magical points in your life, I don't even know if they're magical per se. But that was very important to that man. And that was what he came through talking about. But because she's still in this existence, she's wanting like we had pancakes the day before. Yeah. You know what I mean? Alright. Say you go camping, you're a kid, right? Alright. And so years go by now, so you've forgotten about it. The details of the camping trip. But you remember that you went camping. And then, like, 15 years later, you remember something really special happening during that camping trip, and you're like, well, I haven't thought of that in years. Yeah. So when we're in heaven, that's sort of like what it is, like a new realization of that camping trip. It's like, what was the point of that camping trip? Not just to go camping.

SPEAKER_07 29:54

It was the experience.

SPEAKER_03 29:55

It was the experience that brings your family together when you didn't see it when you were a kid. That's what heaven is like.

SPEAKER_07 30:01

I would love to think so. And you know, talking to people like you who so strongly believe make me more hopeful. So yeah, that was a good way to explain it, I think.

SPEAKER_05 30:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 30:12

Oh, I want to pivot for a second. So we were talking before about abilities, people connecting to the spirit world. Do you think there's anything to say that people that experience really strong emotions or hypersensitive in some ways are perhaps more attuned to being open to a connection?

SPEAKER_03 30:29

Yeah. You think so? Oh, for sure. Because they're made of energy. So you the more sensitive you become to your own body, the quieter in the mind you get, you will become more sensitive to energy that you do not see. Okay. That's like for me, for all those years that I it wasn't that I blacked it out. I just was too busy in my own mind listening with my outer ear. With your own thoughts. My own thoughts. If somebody sat next to me, like say I'm the school boss, and I would get a bad feeling. It was just, oh, you know, I just passed it off. And now I would be like looking.

SPEAKER_07 31:08

Do you think that it's hard to pinpoint where all these feelings come from? And do you think that every feeling you have is related to something spiritual in regards to that?

SPEAKER_03 31:18

Well, I think everything's spiritual, yes, absolutely. Okay. Let me say this too. That's what the problem is in the world. Are trained not to pay attention to emotions and want to know what it is. So for an empath, what empaths need to learn is when let's say you wake up in the morning and you're feeling regret, right? And so you say, Wait, what did I do last night? Which yeah, I didn't do anything. They would stop for just a split second and let their mind tell them who they're picking up on. They're picking up on someone else. Okay. I'll give you an example. I went camping and I was in the camper and I was at the bottom bulk, and my nephew's friend was at the top bulk. And I woke up and I had this dreadful feeling of like suicide. And so I'm like, okay, we know that's about me. And I asked, Who is this? And it was the boy above me. So I said, okay. So we sat down to breakfast and I just said, I hope you don't mind. I'm gonna bring up a couple of things, you know. And he admitted that yeah, he was called to her, he was having a hard time.

SPEAKER_07 32:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

Wait, so this was the person staying in the camiter in the camper with us, my nephew's friend.

SPEAKER_07 32:34

And you just picked up on the energy.

SPEAKER_03 32:36

Yeah, I just felt it.

SPEAKER_07 32:38

That's incredible.

SPEAKER_03 32:39

Well, if I didn't know about energy, I would be like, oh my god, I I want to kill myself.

SPEAKER_07 32:46

Yeah, or you'd probably be like, This is weird. I'm just gonna push it to the side and be like, that was strange. Yeah. Right. I also think in Western culture we we don't know how to talk about death. We don't know how to talk about the afterlife. Exactly. And it makes people confused and not sure what to think when things happen and how to make sense of something spiritual. We have these religions, but I don't think that necessarily relates to everyone. I think people can be spiritual and religious, and it's obviously a different thing. Right. But I wish we talked about it more like how you talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 33:15

Well, I want to say this to you. One time my husband said, I'm saying that there's a difference between religion and spirituality. And he said, Yeah, but is there really? And I said, you know what? You're right, there isn't. Okay. There's some differences in that the religions won't talk about, you know, let's get to the heart of God, let's say. You know, the energy God is not just in this house. The birds in the sky, he's God up there with those birds flying around.

unknown 33:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Is God in your house? Is God in the church and industry? God's everywhere.

SPEAKER_07 33:50

Sure. I would say maybe religion, and you tell me what you think is like a filter for how people see spirituality and how they identify with it. Yeah. I grew up Roman Catholic, haven't believed in God in gosh, most of my adult life, and now I find myself after this talking to a God I'm not sure I believe in, but want to believe in earnestly. And I'm sure there are a lot of people, especially in our US culture, that are like, I don't know how to feel about the religion that's around me, but I feel like there's something more to this, you know?

SPEAKER_03 34:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 34:21

Um but thank you for diving into that specific aspect of it. So on the talk of God and the afterlife, do you have an idea of your perfect afterlife? Or are you just open because you know God yourself? So you're happy, whatever happens, happens.

SPEAKER_03 34:38

Well, I let's see, what would my perfect heaven be like? You know, I have asked myself that because they have come back to show me how they're taken home and you know, their surroundings, what it looks like when they first got there. Um for me, well, obviously, one, I wanted to see my family, my father, and my brother. Of course. But the other thing is I want to know about these fairies.

SPEAKER_07 35:06

Tell me about fairies. I know nothing about people's real-world experiences with it, only from media, right?

SPEAKER_03 35:12

Yep. Well, I'll tell you, when I first saw them, I didn't never ask if they were real. I know. I had no connection to them. I didn't have fairy triplets around my house. Nothing.

SPEAKER_07 35:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:24

And they were right in the beginning of my awakening after my father passed. So five first one flew in front of me. And they're different sizes, by the way. But these were like two inches tall. Real wings, they look like little people smiling. And I was like, Oh my god, you guys are real? And then they started fluttering in.

SPEAKER_07 35:46

So you didn't at that point, you're like, I'm not going insane because of my grief. You're like, this is just part of something that I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 35:53

It was absolutely real. I wasn't sleeping, and they woke me up. I was going to bed at night before I even fell asleep. And I would think, come in, these fairies have okay, so I made candles. I kind of suspended them on the website for a little while. But anyway, the fairies told me to make fairy candles. Yeah. And they told me to use teacups. At first I said, nah. Well, a year later I did it. I couldn't keep up with the orders.

SPEAKER_07 36:17

Yeah. They were giving you some business advice, those fairies.

SPEAKER_03 36:20

I made fairy card scents with them. Those are the fairy cards that I do with the card. Oh, these are beautiful. And these are the angel cards that I made. But anyway, they are part of the planet. They say unseen because of us. But they will come to those that they trust.

SPEAKER_07 36:36

So, what do you think about somebody makes them trustworthy to an entity like a fairy? Is it just the fact that you're seeking and you're willing to be open to something more? Or is there more to it, do you think?

SPEAKER_03 36:47

I think there's more to it. I think that they know us, they can see our horror, they can see our good, they can see our bad, and I can help in any way, which I have. I believe that's why they came to me. Like if I could help other people become more loving, then they help me to help others. It's not for my gain. It's not for my gain. It's more of, you know, what can I do? What can I do for the planet? And now it's about the animals too.

SPEAKER_07 37:16

I love that.

SPEAKER_03 37:17

And that's a lot. That's a lot to do with that.

SPEAKER_07 37:19

Is it would you say like a mind connection with animals is how you communicate, or is it just a knowing?

SPEAKER_03 37:24

It's a snake, as with humans. They're they're way better off talking to than a dead person. Yeah, that's an yeah. They're loving, they're very clear, and they're direct and on point.

SPEAKER_07 37:34

I always felt uh connected to animals. I feel like certain people are just more compassionate and drawn to them.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

Right.

SPEAKER_07 37:40

And I think that's yeah, that's a sign of a good person, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_03 37:44

Me too. I think so too. I've always thought that.

SPEAKER_07 37:46

So you do a lot of work with angels. Is this something that started off after the passing of your father? How did you experience your first angel encounter and how would you describe that to somebody?

SPEAKER_03 37:56

Oh, yeah. Um, I had met my mentor, right? And she would talk about this archangel Michael. So I became fascinated with these archangels. Like, who are these angels, you know? Are they real? So I started to see purple with my eyes open at work. It would just be like this big strip of purple reader, and I'd be like, Is that Michael? So then people were giving me gifts that were purple. Really? Wimped just out of the blue. So they told me to buy his feet. Like a little purple box or whatever. So anyway, one evening I was home with my husband, we were watching TV. He was laying on the couch and I was in a chair. And I heard a man with my outer ear. I heard his voice, and my voice it was his voice, and he said hello. And my husband thought I was going crazy at the time, so I didn't tell him, you know. So a week later, um, he went to bed. He was a truck driver, so he went to bed early, and I laid on the couch, swatched TV, and I'm laying, and I'm like, I said out loud, I think that that was you, Archangel Michael, that he said hello. And I'm ready, I want you to come and say hello to me. Well, I thought it was ready. But anyway, I must have fallen asleep. But when I woke up, there was this white ore, this huge white ore, that came from behind the couch up over my head, down my whole length of my body, and I could see it. And the vibration, I could hear it. You know, like an airplane. And my body was shaking. And my ear popped.

SPEAKER_07 39:30

Were you scared at all?

SPEAKER_03 39:31

I was scared, shutless. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And my ear popped, and when my ear packed, Michael then said hello to me. He's got a deep voice, so it was funny. He was trying to lower it. And he said hello, and I'm like, it took I was really afraid. It took me a second to get it out, but I said, Hello, but I'm afraid right now because it's dark out. Will you come back in the morning? And he left. Did he come back? Oh yeah. So the next morning, I had to get up early. I had a facial to do. Oh, and guess who on? My mentor. Really? And she, you're not. So I actually I think this was a Sunday morning, and I went and opened up my, I owned the salon at the time.

SPEAKER_04 40:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:13

Opened up the salon and gave her a facial, and I'm like, Patty, this is what happened to me. And she's like, Yep, that's Michael. So I'm like, okay. So after the facial, I ran home. Gonna I lay down on the sofa, holding my hands, and I said, Okay, Michael, I'm ready. Close my eyes. And all of a sudden, these beautiful streams of colors were flowing to my mind, blue and purple. And I felt his his hand on my leg nice and gentle. And it was like a more gentle introduction. And I just said, Okay, thank you, Michael. And then I just started talking with him. I mean, it wasn't his voice wasn't out here, it was in my mind. Yeah. And he gives me visions now for people. And anyway, I'm gonna fast forward, okay?

SPEAKER_07 40:58

Yeah, sure. After this short break, Sherry's gonna tell us more about her experiences with angels, specifically Archangel Michael, and how he might be actually hot.

SPEAKER_00 42:32

Go get out of my mind in the middle. In the middle.

SPEAKER_03 42:40

So years go by, I move here. I'm in working at this mystical elements, visions and dreams, and then somebody behind and changed the name. But anyway, okay. So I had girls and I was mentoring. So one of the girls comes in and I can see her from my room, and she's shopping for rocks. And I see this man standing behind her who's like 6'2, I guess. He had blondish brown hair. Now, before that, I'd always seen Michael with dark hair, and I'll get to that in a minute. Okay. So I'm like, wow, he is absolutely gorgeous. Okay, this is so she's her husband's gorgeous. Yeah, you're like, look at that dude. Honestly. And he and she's talking. She's holding the rocks in front of her. He's standing behind her, and it looks like he's answering her. So she a week later, she comes into class, and I said, Hey, Misty, your husband's beautiful. Like, really? And she looked at me funny, like, When did you see him? You know, she didn't say anything. A couple days later, she brings in her husband, comes in the room, and I'm like, Oh, that's not her husband. That was not her husband. You're like different vibe, respectfully. Well, anyway, and I asked her, I said, Who's the blonde? She said, She had no idea who you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. So during COVID, I go to a house. Okay. And all of a sudden I could see Michael in my mind, and I'm like, holy shit, Michael, that was you in the flesh. So you were saying that Michael was hot. Swear to God, he's absolutely gorgeous. So I said to him, Why then did you let me see you in my mind's eye with dark hair? You know, you know what he said to me? He said, Because you like tall, dark, handsome men.

SPEAKER_07 44:26

Oh my.

SPEAKER_03 44:27

And I started laughing and I said, Yeah, you're right. I always said that.

SPEAKER_07 44:30

So you think there's like perhaps a sense of humor and playfulness with angels and God?

SPEAKER_03 44:35

Oh, very.

SPEAKER_07 44:36

Yeah. Very Jesus, too. See, this is something I've thought about, you know. I'm like, okay, if there is a God, do you think he finds stuff like really funny? Like random stuff we do and tries to almost like kind of wink at us with stuff that happens. Of course. Well, thank God, can you imagine if he didn't?

SPEAKER_03 44:52

If he didn't have such humor, right, right.

SPEAKER_07 44:54

Right? I mean, that's you know, and I think that's how we get our sense of humor.

SPEAKER_03 44:58

I feel like Jesus loves us like we love our children. He is actually, he he gave me a hug one time. Energetic hug. And it was not no kind of love I ever felt in my entire life.

SPEAKER_07 45:10

You know, I've heard very similar things, and I'm sure you have too with those near-death experiences. Is that something you turned to after your father passed away?

SPEAKER_03 45:18

Oh, I did. It was books. I I was in I mean, it was awful. I everything that he had taught me went out the window when he died.

SPEAKER_07 45:28

I'm sure.

SPEAKER_03 45:28

Didn't you like go on a bender and you're just like, screw everything. It was awful. I I I cried for two straight years. And you know, my my husband would take me to the bookstore and he'd get these these near-death experience books so that I would get back to yes, there is a heaven and there is a God. That's sweet of your partner.

SPEAKER_07 45:46

That's a good book. It was.

SPEAKER_03 45:47

Oh yeah, he that he he helped me a great deal that way. So I think he would see that after each book, I would start, I was starting to heal. Because I didn't go to healing school for not right away. It was a couple years after my dad had passed before I even went to healing school.

SPEAKER_07 46:04

Well, yeah, there's even with your own experiences of your history with the spiritual, after the loss of your dad, I'm sure, you know, all of us that have lost a parent, especially me, I just turned 32. You feel like a child.

SPEAKER_05 46:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 46:17

You feel like you're thrust into the world as a baby and you're looking around for your mom and your dad, and you're like, I don't know how to be an adult. Where's the adult in the room? And I'm sure you felt like that for a while. That's how I feel right now.

SPEAKER_03 46:28

That's right. Absolutely. It's it's terrifying. Yeah. And you want to tell you this, you know why it's important for you to keep seeking till you get answers. Why? Because you're helping your mother heal too. You think so? Absolutely. People think we go to heaven and and you know, we take the suit off, and yeah. It's all a learning. Each level of heaven we go through, we are learning. Each level of heaven we go through, we are still healing. When you heal yourself, seven generations behind you heal, and seven ahead of you heal.

SPEAKER_07 47:06

That was really beautifully put about my mom. You know, when you love someone so much, like your father, like my mother, yeah. I can't stop thinking about where she is and if she's okay, and I just want her to know that I'm I love her so much. I just I keep asking for her to like, I'm like, give me a sign. And I'll I've I've talked to people and they're like, maybe that's not how it works. Maybe you can't just ask for it and just it'll happen in the way you think.

SPEAKER_03 47:32

But I think we have to listen, I I'm no matter what, I feel like you know, God's in charge of how it's gonna go down for each of us. I can't be like, Hey God. Yeah, you can't know, you can't add. You can say, Hey Jesus, will you help me with this? Will you allow me to have I mean that that's my prayer before you guys get come in for readings? Is I ask God, I say, God, do we have your permission to bring in their loved ones? But you know, the only thing I can do with people is share with everybody the experience that I had, and why was I so lucky? I could tell you so many stories, we'd be sitting here for five hours. But I think that God knew that I was meant to help people through this avenue because I mean, I'm a lucky girl. The things that I've seen and God has allowed me to experience, but I am also and have always been okay with sharing whatever I have experienced. Like I like honestly, when I saw the fairies, my husband and I, it was almost New Year's, and we were going to New Jersey to celebrate the new year with his family who are Catholics, okay? And I said, I'm telling everybody that fairies are real.

SPEAKER_07 48:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:54

And my husband's like, oh no, you're not.

SPEAKER_07 48:56

Yeah, and you're like, uh, watch me.

SPEAKER_03 48:58

Listen, this isn't about the fairies, it's about how incredible this God is. And if people knew that God made fairies and that they're real, what else has God done for us?

SPEAKER_07 49:11

That is very interesting you say that because I do feel like part of this whole discussion we're having here is because I'm somebody that's I want to believe. There's a lot of people out there like that, and how much easier it would be, right? If we all were just like, God is real. Yep, we're connected to each other, there's a spiritual realm, it's all gonna be okay. And, you know, I do think that if we all just knew it straight up, would we treat the world the way we do? Would we just not care? I don't know, but it sure seems like emotionally it would be easier, right? Right, right. Because that's the big question, right? What happens to us? What are we? Where do we come from? Right.

SPEAKER_03 49:51

Yeah. What does a red light what do the lights mean? Red light, green light, yellow light. And the stoplight? Yeah. What do you mean? Why would I be seeing that right now?

SPEAKER_07 50:02

Um I I can't think of anything specific. Drivers here are kind of weird, respectfully. I know, I know, I know. But like nothing, nothing I can think of personally, just because where I live in Portland, Oregon, the drivers are also weird.

SPEAKER_03 50:21

Well, let me say this to you. Yeah. Okay, well, maybe I'm supposed to tell you this now. I was at a light, a red light, and I had just done a group. It was a Sunday group, like a six-hour day for healing. And I'm in the car and I'm thanking the archangel Sophia. I come up to this red light, and I'm I'm talking nice. Sophia, she came in incredible that day. I said, Thank you for helping my people. Like, it's just mind-blowing to see them change in these groups and like they're they're healing right in front of me. It's amazing. Well, I looked uh above the the light, and you know those black birds that form shapes, they fly together.

SPEAKER_07 50:57

Uh crows are ravens?

SPEAKER_03 50:59

I'm not sure what they uh what they are, but there's like a bunch of them. Yeah. So anyway, I'm looking and I look at the car next to me, and the guy's just looking straight ahead. Those birds form an angel's wing, right to the point all the way down. Just I'm I'm looking at it, I'm like, oh my god, Sophia, you just made that happen? And I'm looking at the guy next to me to see if he can see he's not paying any attention. The signs that may be coming through for you are not what you are expecting.

SPEAKER_07 51:33

That was my next question. Yeah. It is easy to dismiss uh people, right? I'm sure we dismiss it because we're like, oh, no, you want her to talk to you, touch you, you want to see her.

SPEAKER_03 51:44

Yeah. But they use birds, they use butterflies, anything with wings. They're big on that. And I'm gonna tell you another story. Real quickly, uh, my sister-in-law passed unexpectedly, and my brother afterward, her friend from Mexico came in. So this is the week of the service. They're in Pennsylvania, so they had the storm door shut, but the big door opened in the screen. A little bird flew through the screen. There was no ripping the screen, the door wasn't open. The little bird flew around the living room. Her best friend's standing in the living room, and is like, what in the heck? So my brother gets up, opens up the storm door, and latches it so it'll fly out. Before it flew out, it landed on that little perch. Huh. Part of a storm door, turned and looked at my brother and then flew out. So I was at my mother's house, which is just a block from my brother. So, of course, they called me right away and I come over. I saw the black spot where the bird flew through the screen.

SPEAKER_00 52:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:47

Hand again. The screen was not ripped. And the night before they were at the funeral home and they did a video, and the whole theme was birds. My hand was up on the screen, and her friend's not even gonna believe her. And she said to me, She goes, Shutdy? She come back to Shadi. If you tell me, I don't believe. But I see myself, this happened. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 53:13

So she's like, I gotta see it myself to believe it.

SPEAKER_03 53:15

So I want you to know this. I've had miracles, like we used to do readings over there, switch this around every now and then. And I'm talking to this girl, swear pants for her, and all of a sudden I hear look up in the sky. So I'm sitting there look up at the sky. D-O-G is written in a cloud. Dog? Clear as a bell, yes. And I look, I looked a couple times, I'm like, holy crap. So I say to her, Michael, do you want to talk to your dog? Well, yes, I've been dying for you to tap into my dog. Yeah. So that's what I'm referring to. Miracles that you you gotta just stop second guessing and just know that God has angels. God made these angels to watch over us. They are God's eyes and ears. So you have your guardian angel. We have angels everywhere, right? It's like they're unemployed if we don't call them in. So you think everyone has their own guardian angel? I I believe so, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 54:14

Yeah. So how would one try to connect?

SPEAKER_03 54:17

Lay in bed at night before you go to sleep and just talk. And just believe that you have one. You have to start with, I just believe. You have to, and then you'll get to learn how the conversations are going back and forth between you and the angel, you know? I I hear you. I think, and I've said this a lot, I think it's just hard for people. It's horse. I get it. When I first started doing this, I didn't even want to do readings professionally. Really? No, I was shy as shit. No, I just want to do healing. Yeah. Did you think people would respond not how you wanted? Well, I was shy.

SPEAKER_07 54:52

It doesn't struck me as a shy person, so clearly you've run into the colour.

SPEAKER_03 54:54

I don't want to when I moved here and the woman who owned the store, I interviewed as a healer. And so I did gave her healing or friend healing, whatever. And I didn't tell her about anything else. And I had angel cards in my bag one day, and she said, You know how to use those? And I said, Well, yeah, everybody should know how to use an oracle card. It's Sally Carroll, you know. And she said, Well, you're going on the floor this weekend to do readings. And they're like, No, no. I said, No, no. Thankfully, she called on me. She said, You gotta go in there, you gotta do this. She pushed him into it. She's like, Yeah, people would rather have readings than healings.

SPEAKER_07 55:31

So, I mean, in a way, that's kind of nice that you've had these experiences with other people who have helped guide you into something. It seems very meaningful, like it was your purpose. Oh, absolutely. It had to have been, otherwise, I couldn't have done it. And it seems like you're helping to do that for others now.

SPEAKER_03 55:45

Oh, yeah. About to do that because it was so hard when I started out doing it. You know, I moved here to a new place. I started working at a mystical uh store where there's seasoned psychics and medium who didn't necessarily warm welcome me. But I vowed that if I did stick with it, which I knew I was going to, I'd rather just say if I got through it, I would help others. And I did. Well, I still do.

SPEAKER_07 56:12

Well, that's gotta be an incredible reason to get up every day, knowing that you're connected to something that a lot of people are searching for, you know, and you're helping them. It's amazing. If I'm being honest, walking in here today, I was like, I really hope I get something out of this experience. I really hope I feel like I was meant to come here. I hope I feel that way when I leave. And I think um, I think that's what I'm searching for. And like I said, the point of this podcast is I'm having an existential crisis. I'm sure there are many people, especially in the US, that don't really talk about the depths of how they feel and really push to the side their idea of spirituality because they're busy, they're working, they don't want to think about it until something wild happens. They're like, well, I have to, or I'm just gonna get through this in a way that doesn't really make a lot of sense or is harmful to me.

unknown 57:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 57:01

Because I already went through my crazy phase when I was younger. I was like, you know what? I want to go the other route with this and see what is out there.

SPEAKER_04 57:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 57:08

We were talking a little bit before about talking to relatives. Would you say that ghosts are real? Would you say that past relatives that have passed on are considered ghosts, or is that something completely different? I asked this because Wilmington seems like a haunted city, is how it's labeled. It is.

SPEAKER_03 57:27

I mean, well, first of all, you have just an imprint of an experience that happened that was so strong that the imprint of the energy experience is still here. Like the scene, right?

unknown 57:38

Huh.

SPEAKER_03 57:39

There's also there are ghosts. Ghosts are they're considered ghosts because they stayed. They don't have a body, but they still stay.

SPEAKER_07 57:47

How does that work? Do they get to choose to stay? Or does God call people up?

SPEAKER_03 57:52

Oh no, I think God wants everybody to go home. So it's still their choice free will.

SPEAKER_07 57:57

Do you think it's in relation to unfinished business? We've all heard that, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 58:02

All kinds of things. Some people may be too afraid to carry on because of their own wrongdoings, Macy. Maybe they're afraid of where where they're gonna go. Some people just like it here. Some people don't know they're dead. Because the reality, they keep living in this weird reality. It happens. You know, it's like that's why you may pick up an older woman, you know, clanking around in your kitchen at night that you don't see. Huh. To her, she's still alive and she's cooking herself eggs.

SPEAKER_07 58:33

Would uh Angel not intervene at that point to help guide them?

SPEAKER_03 58:38

Free will.

SPEAKER_07 58:40

Sure.

SPEAKER_03 58:41

But we help by praying for our people. Sure. Trust me, I was woken up during the night. This is a crazy story. Oh, let's hear it. I was woken up by a blue jay, a spirit of a blue jay. In the room? In my bedroom. I saw this blue jay with my eyes wide open. And the blue jay said, he needs to cross those puppies over. And I said, What puppies? And he said, in the basket. I looked over in the floor and I saw puppies in the basket. So I go, how do I do that? He was really sarcastic. Anyway, I just said, okay. I just said, okay, let's do it. I blanked out for literally a second and opened my eyes, and I see the blue jay getting ready to fly out through the wall. And I said, Hey, wait a minute. And he turned and looked at me and I said, Is this real? He flew back and pecked me in my ear and it hurt. Ow. And he said, Is this real enough for you? And he then flew out through the wall. Sassy. I'm telling you, it's free will, but we can pray for people who are even in purgatory. Sure. And purgatory is a real thing, by the way. Um so purgatory is just it's a holding place.

SPEAKER_07 59:53

Is it in between you think, earth and heaven, or do you think there's actually like a hell too?

SPEAKER_03 59:59

I don't know exactly where it is. I feel like it's a safe place for souls then to call upon God for help and see the light. Sure. Because it's it it felt so they were so sad. They were so sad and and self-pity was off the chart.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:20

That breaks my heart.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:21

Oh, it's it was a terrible feeling. But anyway, um, because I felt it. Yeah. But we could pray for those souls and I can help them to leave there for purgatory. Anytime our people die, no matter how good or bad they are, prayers work. Prayers work. So everybody out there listening, if you think of somebody you haven't seen in 10 years, it might be a call for you to pray for them. 100%. I've been a witness to that.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:55

I've been an absolute witness. I was praying for somebody in my kitchen one day. I was talking to Archangel Michael and God about saving this young man. He was a drug addict. And um, I got a phone call two hours later, that the young man went outside. He was at his father's house, and he said, Dad, I gotta go in the car and get something. Like it took too long. While his father opened up the door, his son he was getting ready to put a needle in his arm, basically, and he stopped it.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:27

I'm glad that he was there to intervene.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:30

Yeah, but I think it was God because two hours before that I was praying my ass off.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:35

Like, do you think then that you know, um, God, the idea of God being all-knowing, all-powerful, the source of all things, and this is coming from someone who's on a journey, right? Trying to understand things. So you think that in a way, when we're praying, it's a way for God to hear us more in a sense and be like, hey, I this person needs help. No, okay, please clarify love.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:01

Okay, it's all about you and I loving each other that if I think about you and you need help. Yeah, it's me showing love. And you know, my prayers, it doesn't mean I'm any different than anybody else. It doesn't mean that I saved that boy. Sure, sure it wasn't about that. It's that our our learning and understanding of what love is. That's what we're doing here.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:22

From yeah, the NBEs I've listened to. I like the channel Coming Home on YouTube. I'm not sure if you're familiar with them. They're great, they're run by twins. I'm a twin, so I'm a little partial to that. But they talk about the idea, God telling them or an angel telling them the purpose of life is love. That's like the idea behind everything. It is. So that's very interesting that you say that.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:43

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:44

Because I think we overcomplicate things as human beings. And like it's I think it's fine to have dreams and goals, but I think a lot of people get lost in achieving things that we forget the idea of everything should be to care about each other. Yeah, that's what it's about. Do you feel though, in the modern world, that you are in like a different bubble of experience? Because there's a lot of people, and maybe it's a lot of where I live, yeah, that just day in, day out, oh yeah, materialism believe what they believe. They're like, God's not real, because that's man in the sky, what's that? So it seems like you just have this different experience of life, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:21

Well, not everybody in my family believes what I do. Yeah. They believe in me. Yeah, which is great. That's it. But they don't all they don't understand all what I do or what I will say to them or if I see something, but because they love me, they just accept me for who I am. Hopefully, they believe some of what I do. Sure. You know, but they don't have to believe, you know, that I'm talking to fairies. Yeah. They, you know, that might that I think is is a uh a lot for some of them in my family.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:53

They support you, then they're like, you know what? She's happy.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:56

Yeah. Well, they also know that I've helped people, and I think that that is a lot too why they support me. It's like, okay, I might not believe in it, but she's doing something right. People have been coming now for what 15 years. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, and they see how happy I am by helping people. And I've changed.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:16

Yeah, I mean, you seem like a very lovely person.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:18

Well, the people that I that come in, I get as much out of it as they do.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:24

Yeah, I mean, that's what it is. Oh my god. Connection, you know? People like man, li life is so weird. Life is just so strange how we end up in certain places at certain times, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:33

Right? Yeah, it's wild.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:35

Like you and I here right now.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:37

That's right. Is this fate? I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:39

And I was gonna ask you, how did you find me or I Googled and I decided between a few people and just something about you I liked. Maybe the part about losing your father struck a chord with me because of what I've been through recently. And yeah, I was like, I feel like she'll have a lot of interesting things to say. And I feel like people that have walked a certain walk that I can relate to. I want to know what you think and why you think what you think, because I'm curious.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:04

Right.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:04

And everything you talk about angels is fascinating to me. That's a whole nother layer I never even thought about before, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:11

I know a lot of people don't. Yeah. And I can't imagine why. Because well, I mean, for the people that have been coming to angels speak, because that's where I will channel the angels in the groups. Yeah. Well, private too. But I'll say to them, so who's talked to an angel recently? And if the hands don't go up, I I'm I'll say, Why? Why? Why? Why they're there. Yeah, you have an angel who does protection, that's Michael. You have an angel for um healing, you have an angel for joy to help you find joy in your life. So there's multiple, there's not just like one specific like guardian. Lord girl, there's so many angels you can't even imagine. See, there's different tiers of angels, there's the seraphims. Cherubs, there's you know the guardian angels and the archangels, they're also guardian angels, they watch over humans on the planet, they can watch you over many at one time.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:12

Okay, so yeah, that that would make sense to me.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:14

But you have your own private guardian angel that's with you, and some people looks like some people have more than one guardian. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:24

Why do you think some people have more than one? Because do they need extra help? Extra work. Do I have we need more help?

SPEAKER_03 1:06:30

Do I have like 20 around me? No, no, no. Um, sometimes, well, and I will say this to you. Only um, I don't always talk to people's guardians, but sometimes they do, huh? But so when they do talk to me, it's very special because I talk to the archangels, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:46

So it's different levels of interaction, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:49

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:50

But you can tell me if this is not how this works for you. But from seeing me and talking to me now, can you read my energy? What can you tell me about me from your abilities? I'd like to learn more.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:03

Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We pray over Jesus here today. Bringing our earthly angels into heavenly angels. Speak your dear father with your permission. We're gonna talk to the angels, but I will tell you, I am seeing um, I believe it is a grandfather over here. I know it's not your mother, but but anyway, now see what else happens here. But there's also uh there's an angel named Shamuel, she's coming in, and she's the angel of relationships. Shamuel, you said her name is yep, Shamuel. Okay, and she what when I say she, they're actually androgynous, so they carry both masculine and female.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:41

Oh, gender neutral, we love it. Although Michael clearly looks like a man, okay? And I love how Michael's hot. We remember that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:51

I really feel like she um you need to meet more people, friends, have more friends in your life, more people in your life.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:00

And yep, and she's coming in to she wants to help you with that. The other thing I did want to bring up is um are you thinking about moving here? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:13

Okay. Yeah. Um my twin brother just moved here, and I want to be connected to my family after everything we've been through this year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:21

She's brought that up about you living here. And if you're worried about, you know, making the connections with people here, she's letting you know that she'll help you with that. Um, I mean, I think it's a great idea because it's a huge spiritual hub here.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:38

Which is it's an amazing place.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:40

I mean, wouldn't that be fun if you're a good idea?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:41

I think we're gonna like the beach too. It's beautiful. A lot of people like the beach. Um, but as far as creativity goes, she's telling me to tell you that this is gonna help you. So be more creative coloring or painting. But this is gonna help you with your mind. It'll be like a meditation when you do creativity. It's literally absolutely healing. Yeah, uh there's the stuff again. Do you have books?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:07

Do you like books? I two parents um who are extremely intellectual. I'm trying to get more into reading. I have ADHD, so I feel like it's hard for me to concentrate on reading for long periods of time, but it is something I'm trying to work on. My mom, she had like six degrees, she was very into education.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:25

So yeah, but you know, you're interesting in that you know how when you read something or you listen to something, I feel like you're writing it down. Yeah, about it. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, that's the thing just showing me. You're still learning, you're you're you're you're saving like it's okay. What you are picking up out of these books or watching it on YouTube or TV, you're getting what you need by keeping the notes. So you're doing good.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:53

Thank you. I'm trying to go on my spiritual journey right now, and I've been trying to take notes. I mean, even like asking questions for you, this intrigues me. To me, this matters more than anything right now, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:03

Yeah, are you? Um, I feel like you uh need to meditate, and I'm gonna say this to you. Definitely. Don't stress yourself out by laying down and spending an hour doing it. They literally just want you to sit. Okay, I want you to watch me. It is literally through breath. It's inhaling and exhaling and bringing your shoulder down, and your whole upper body sinks into your hips. Okay, you do that three times every time, and you're gonna be like, holy cow, there was nothing going on in my head for that second. And that's what everybody should start with when it comes to meditation. Okay, because with angel showing me you feeling something, it's like, and I I know with that, I've experienced that where it's like this windless wind moves you, sure, and you'll be able to at least have that, and that's gonna be like that's great. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:58

Um you mean like a a passion, is that a direction, or do you mean something else?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:06

No, I mean something else. Okay, it's actually you actually having a physical feeling from the unseen, the spiritual.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:15

You're saying me specifically, or just like people in general. You specifically. Can you elaborate on that?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:22

Sure, when you get quiet, if you can keep working on getting quiet, you're going to have an experience of spirit moving your physical body while you're sitting there.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:32

Why me?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:33

I'm sure a lot of people would, yeah. Why? Because you're asking for. Um, how do I say this?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:40

No, you're in a great job, by the way. I just like asking the heart-eating questions so people understand.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:44

Oh no, I'm that's fine. I just want to make sure I'm giving the right words. Do I and by the way, I don't know, I do not know everything. And in fact, the more I learn, the more I know I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:54

That's how you know that you're somebody that knows stuff. It's how you don't know everything.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:58

Well, then nobody knows everything. But it's the allowance you will you are allowing spirit to come in. I want it to, but even when we say I want it to, action speaker than are louder than words. Yeah. So when spirit sees you, get in your head quiet, it's almost a surrendering that's happening. Then why they would choose to move you, I don't know. It's just a little bit tidbit. It's like an awakening. You're like, all right, I didn't do that. So, you know.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:35

Can I interject for a second? You saying this is really interesting because I feel like I'm someone that can be a little hard-headed. Thank you, Peruvian genes. I love you, mom. It comes from her. But um, I feel like it's been an interesting two months. And I've been like, I just want to sign, I want it to be so dramatic and so ridiculous that there's no way I can deny it. I basically want to like levitate or something, you know, something that seems unrealistic because I'm like, that way I can for sure know that there's more going on. And right, that is extreme, sure. And even then, I'm sure there are people that get something and they're like, well, there's a scientific explanation for that because they just dismiss it. Exactly. Yeah. But I I I do want something physical. That's exactly right. And I think science and spirituality can probably work together.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:19

They do. The scientist, oh, they do. Don't think for one minute that the government or these scientists aren't using mediums and psychics.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:26

Oh, they 100% are. They have for years. At least they don't want you to know what we can do, whether you're called medium or not.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:36

Is because we could change the world. We come from a different perspective. We don't need wars. We know that. All we need to do is change our perception and be kinder.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:46

That's it. Just don't be a dick.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:48

Don't be a dick. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Don't be a dick. That's literally what it is. It's absolutely true, and they don't want us to know that.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:54

Pen. I've got such insight, and it's I'm gonna think about this conversation probably for a really long time. I'm sure you meet a lot of people like me who are in a really sh odd point in their lives, and that's gotta be interesting from your perspective to watch. Oh yeah. A year ago, didn't think this is what I would be doing.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:15

No, no, absolutely not. Like I would say to you, leave here with the thought of I'm going to know this angel Shamuel, and I'm gonna get to know Jesus. Spiritual Jesus. I'll take you up on that. Alright, every day. Every day check in with Jesus. Like when you sit there and you do your breath work, it's for me, I envision that Jesus is all around me. That's how I do it. And then my palms up. Oh, and by the way, I have felt uh holding on my hand. Really? Nice. Oh, absolutely. If you think first of all in your mind about your palms, you'll start to feel energy just in your palms just by you thinking about your palms. You close your eyes, you don't have to look at them. And that's way if you get to know energy. But it's one step at a time. But see, the more you talk with Jesus, even if it's I'm really interested in learning more about you. And you know, shamel, I'm thinking about moving to Wilmington. And you know, will you really be able to help me meet people? And what can I do now? Could you send me what should I read now? What book should I pay attention to? It's little things. Sure. And you're gonna build a rapport. You build you're building a relationship with them. That's what's happening. That's where I tell people to start. Okay. Because I gotta tell you something. If you opened up too quick, I've seen this happen to people. People have ended up in hospitals.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:46

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:47

They all have a sp too quick of a spiritual awakening and they look like they're losing their mind and they've ended up in the in hospitals.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:55

That's terrifying.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:56

I know. So don't open up too quick. Don't ever trust anybody who tells you, you know, I have a Reiki course and I can uh I can, you know, take you up to the third level in a month. Stay the hell away from that stuff. Much you can't. It's too much. If you do not learn discernment along your journey, there's trouble in that. There is trouble in it. So that there is why I believe God does not help us open up real quick and get any big signs. Because what are you gonna do with it? Your ego gets involved because we we are we have an ego in this dimension. We sure do. We should just so something happens that's too big, too quick. Your ego is what is going to be discerning that experience. And some people will go and tell this person, that person, the other, and then it gets strewn. The meaning wasn't right, and it just causes more trouble because everything is a trickle effect, right? So you have to walk slow. And I want us to get the message clear, it's like a dream, right? Our dreams are so personalized. I don't care who you are. I'm sure there's professionals in there that that can interpret dreams, but every individual should sit with their dream, even if it takes two weeks, it's so personalized. We all want the quick fix I do too. But you know, it's we have to go slow. Everything that we receive, we have to digest and keep our eye on on the light, keep our eye in the light while we're getting that information. That's why you have to go slow.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:29

I have chills from what Sherry's saying. Um, and I think something you said in the beginning kind of wraps up to part of our main point here is we dismiss things, we dismiss moments that like that, yeah. Just just like that. Part of me was like, I'm cold, I'm always cold. Yeah, but is that how I'm gonna explain everything away in life?

SPEAKER_03 1:17:51

Well, people trying to dismiss this, it's like, why? Why because we're scared and yes, that is why I yeah, I think we're scared.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:00

I think we're straight up scared, and I think you know, it's it's hard to explain. Yes, you dude, you've been fantastic. I if I'm up here, we should grab a drink together. Sherry, is there anything you want to share with me or our listeners? Oh, any advice before we go?

SPEAKER_03 1:18:18

Yeah, I mean, well, I just really want to share with people that bring Jesus in your life no matter what religion you believe. Sure. And keep your thoughts positive. Pay attention to your own thoughts. Because when you pay attention to your own thoughts, you're gonna know if it's your ego talking or if it's your higher source talking. Your higher source is you. Higher sources always come from love. When it's the ego and it's negative talk, because that's what it does. So we need the ego, evidently. We're just here. Replace it with a positive affirmation and just believe. Believe if you see a you know, a bird following you around in the yard that never happened before. If you have a bird chirping at you, it's the same spot every day. Pay attention to it. Everything has a purpose, everything has a soul. These animals have souls, like we don't we don't always know why some people get the bear signs than I. I mean, it's a combination of things that we talked about today, but I mean, maybe you're more open to it, and that's the thing, yeah. Well, I I do also want to say, well, now maybe yes, but and I stopped pushing things away, you know. But in the beginning, I think God had a plan for me to use this to help other people. That was very clear right in the beginning, and that's why I think maybe my stuff went. I mean, my stuff did move pretty fast, but still, believe me, there were days where it was like, oh my god, you're like, what are they doing? It wasn't easy, it wasn't meant to be easy. Sure. Because I had to learn to be humble, which is a hard thing, yeah, it is again. I don't have all the answers. Oh, I know. Yeah, not even like to myself, I still go through, you know, relationship issues because that's the one of our greatest things, you know. But I definitely am more compassionate to others today than I was before this all started. Yeah, yeah.

It is a beautiful historic town that is gorgeous, and there's so much to offer. Well, thank you so much. All right, we'll catch you guys next time.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:52

Go in out of my mind in the middle, in the middle.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:00

Okay, here is my recap and my long-awaited State of the Union. So overall, I thought Sherry was very kind and easy to chat with. When I did the interview initially, I was 90%, 97% more skeptical than today, six months out. So at first I was like, what do you mean fairies? And now I'm like, she's probably right. And how do I find out more about what kind of fairy I am? That's where my brain's at. A few months ago, I started to meditate. So her advice to basically shut up was spot on. I did shut up and then I didn't, but it worked. And now I hold the belief that meditation is one of the many tools that kind of allow you to connect with the spirit world and that it rewires your brain to be more perceptive and in tune to spirit communication. So highly recommend shutting the fuck up and allowing yourself to try it out. Her vision about a spirit moving me was accurate. Many points for her. I don't quite recall the exact meditation that I was doing, but I do remember a friendly spirit lightly moving my head. That was pretty cool. I also like how Archangel Shamuel, chamuel, chamuel, chamuel basically roasted me and called me a loser with no friends. And to that, I highly reject that notion. And I suspect that there is drama in the villa. And actually, Archangel Shamuel must be jealous of my beauty, intellect, and my hair, probably. Um, on a serious note, I found much more resonance overall after time has passed, and I allowed myself to be more open to new ideas and perceptions. And I feel so excited to be going on this adventure as I figure out more. I will soon update you all with my actual spirit experiences and what I think was a connection with my mom. I've had many different encounters, and this is all about my existential crisis turned spiritual awakening. But yeah, it's been all good wild vibes. Okay, on to the State of the Union. Okay, stinkies. Here's what's in, and here's what's out. In being psychic. Always crying in the Wendy's drive-thru. Asserting your dominance on sidewalks by planning your future MMA walkout song while listening to either Faint by Lincoln Park or Crawling in Your Skin also by Lincoln Park. Aura photo specifically the color purple. If you know, you know. Cadet Kelly sleeping with your crystals. What did you guys think I was gonna say? Yeah, perverts. Hey, if my dad's listening to this, I have you. Caffeinated nature walks, the My Scene online dress-up game from like the late 90s, early 2000s. That actually still exists. It's incredible. All right, out. Men. If you're top twenty good dudes, you know. Internalized misogyny, paying for your tires to be fixed. Why? Waiting to live your life. For what? Men wearing don flip-flops. Once again. Why? Burpees. Self-explanatory. The color and the vibe of Beach. I think that summarizes it for this week. Thanks for listening. I'll see y'all in three weeks.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:16

So, okay, so here's the thing. I wouldn't recommend that you go to the plaid pantry in Hayden Island and yeah, at 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:22

It's an experience. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:24

Okay, so what happened there is that in the middle of the night, right? I'm working, it's scary enough because it's uh, you know, in Hayden Island in North Portland. Yeah, yeah. But it's 3 a.m. in a plaid pantry. I was working as a clerk at the time, and I see out of the corner of my eye one of the delivery drivers come through with a big thing of, you know, cans and bottles.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:41

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:42

And I'm like, hey, hey man, and I didn't hear a response, but I like continue to work. You know, I need to go to use the restroom. So I end up locking the door with a big chain and a padlock.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:51

As one does, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:52

And I go to the uh the uh freezer in the back, and I'm hearing bottles get loaded, and I'm without opening the door, I'm like, hey man, I'm just gonna use the restroom real quick. We're currently locked in together, and I go in and I'm like like go back after having use the restroom. I open up the door and no one's in there, and the lock is still in place. And I go to my manager the next day and I'm like, hey, do you ever think it's spicy spotted? And he's like, Yeah, no, we things move around by themselves. It's like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:17

I like how that's when you found out too. Like, okay, sweet, thanks for your time.
