I am so excited for this episode, because she is going to do a reading with me, so a something I manifested into my life because I had been wanting to find a pet, psychic, pet communicator, to be able to communicate with Millie, my dog that passed. But you'll hear in this episode, she is incredible, because she's taking us through how she processes things. Because I think we are all intuitive, we are all psychic, we all have these abilities. It's about practicing. And so she talks a little bit about that. And also it's just such a great episode. You get to see how you can do this, and then you also hear an example of it being done. By the end of this episode, I'm sure you're going to be booking an appointment with her to book yourself a reading. Enjoy. Have the very best time with this. Cheryl, welcome. I'm so excited to chat with you. Thank you for inviting me to your show. Alicia, it's great to be here. Okay, let the listeners know what is it that you do? Like we're talking about you being a pet psychic today, which is pretty freaking cool, but I know that you also tap into spirit in other ways. So let us know who you help and what you do. Yeah, we know I'm a spiritual medium, so I give evidential mediumship readings where I connect with loved ones on the other side, you know, to help bring healing and comfort and validation that love never dies and our loved ones are still there on the other side, supporting us. And I also do animal communication, where I connect with animals that have departed, but also animals here in the living I have a lot of people that call me if they have behavioral problems or if they want to bring in a new pet to their home with already existing pets, or even health and wellness questions. So I consider myself like a health and wellness intuitive as well. A lot of people ask me about their health, even when they call in for a reading either for themselves or their animals. And, you know, I didn't go looking for that. That happened naturally. And I really want to, you know, thank spirit for that, because that's really how our paths, how we get on these paths, right? Is spirit guides us, and we follow that lead. And it just brought so much joy to my life to help people with those types of questions. And so the interesting thing to me is always like, how on earth do you even realize you have this ability? It's crazy, right? It started for me when it was like, super when I was very small. I was gonna say super small. You know, my mother is very psychic, and it runs in our family, and my great aunts and grandmothers all were psychics, and we had books growing up. I had Edgar Casey books growing up. And really, it was so natural for our family to practice this, or talk about the conversation where, you know, you'd go outside, I'd go to school right when I was young, and no one else was talking about it. But it was very natural where I grew up. But for us, we practiced it really we wheat was fun for us. The spirit world was always joyful. You know, I saw spirit for the first time that I remember when I was very young, about three years old. I'm not sure how young, but I saw it as a golden ball of light, you know, floating into my room. And it was such an amazing experience, because it felt like a family. Right coming to check in on me and saying, Wow, you're doing great. Isn't this so much fun? And they would visit me from time to time, and they would move things around in my bedroom, like the calendar or a toy. But it was really all in fun and jest. And you know, I knew that I was psychic because of my family, but I didn't realize how intuitive and psychic I was, so I really started working with animals and with people, and then you're like, wow, doesn't isn't everyone psychic, right? Or isn't everyone a medium? That's how it works, right? You think, oh, well, everyone's like this, but it's not so, yeah, or at least they haven't really realized it yet. I think that it's such a beautiful gift that you grew up in a family that talked about it, that knew like this was this had been the path. So it was almost like your belief system was open enough to it that you could just see it so much easier. At least that's how I end up. That's how I work with my clients. A lot is really helping them open up their belief system to be able to allow these gifts in. Because, aren't we all you're like, aren't we all just psychic? We just haven't allowed ourselves to be exactly we're all psychic, we're all intuitive. We all have these abilities, and it really just depends on how interested we are or in developing them. It's a muscle, right? It's a muscle. And if you work that muscle out, that intuitive muscle or that psychic muscle out, you're going to get better at it. You're going to develop it. But you know what I've taught people in my coaching is that they don't realize really what's intuitive and what's not, how's that? Because everyone has doubts. You know how we have doubts? Oh, my God, that can't be it. How could I get it that easy? Right? It can't look like that. It's like, no, it does really, you know, the energy field around a person does look like that. You know, transparent or translucent vibration that you're seeing and sometimes even more clearly to other people. But you know, I, that's what I do in coaching or teaching, or I try to share with people. We all, we all have abilities. It's really about developing them and letting you know that it's not really a gift. It is an ability that you may never use your intuition, or you may never believe you even have intuition. But if you tell people what it feels like, what it looks like, what it sounds like, it's kind of that gut intuition, you know. And everyone's had those gut hunches, you know, right? You've had that before. I'm sure, oh yeah, it's definitely, it's one of those things where we can usually see it when it's like, Oh, I knew that, and then we didn't follow it. And I think that's the easiest way for us to see when it did show up for us. But yes, that's incredible. I think it's so amazing to empower so many more people to go. You do have this, just like the I love the idea of, like the practice. It's a practice. You can get really good at it. Um, okay. And then when you started working with animals, how did that? So the first time you saw spirit was this golden light comes into your room, and people who are listening might be like, like, how, how clear was it? Was it kind of translucent? Was it? Was it, was it like a person walking into your room? Or was it like, kind of like when you're remembering something and you're seeing it in your mind, or was it somewhere in between, or completely different? I feel like it was subjective, so it was outside of me, so subjective would be like if I saw it in my mind's eye and it floated in the room. But no, when I was very young, it was objective. It was outside of me. It was this beautiful ball of light, as if we could say people walking in the room. So this beautiful ball of light was much larger than myself, and I feel like it had it entailed the feeling of a family love or a child's love, a child's playfulness. It wasn't it was innocent. It wasn't anything to once again, be afraid of or to question. It was almost like friends that I hadn't seen in a while. That's kind of how it felt. Like, you know, a long time friend that you just pick up where you left off. Oh, that's beautiful. And now, when you communicate with animals, how do animals come through for you? Yeah, so Well, growing up, we always had animals. We had animals and animals and animals, and I didn't realize I was really communicating with them. Once again, I can't, isn't this natural? I mean, don't we? All, yeah, oh my goodness, and I don't it. And so what happens is I start connecting with my own animals, and you start realizing that if they have a pain in their body, that's really how it worked with my animals, you realize the discomfort they have. You bring it to your vet's attention, or your parents attention, or you get it treated, and you find out, Oh, yes, they were having this problem. So it started with knowing their health. That's how I started tuning in with animals. And then my friends would come and say, Look, can you tune into my animals like, I don't know why they're not getting along. And I'm and I would talk to them about, you know, territory. For example, would be a reason or, you know, they don't want they're more of a human animal than a pet animal. You know how some animals can be like that, and once again, if they're departed, also, Alicia, just to tell you, when they're departed, animals are departed, they'll come through when I'm giving a reading for a relative of of someone's that's passed away, like, if I'm bringing through someone's father or grandfather aunt during that reading, perhaps the pet that passed away will jump into the picture, will jump into the lap of the grandfather or the aunt, you know, if that's their personality when they were so, you know, people didn't used to think that pets went to heaven. They thought they went to another place, and for those, for anyone else guessing, it's not so we all are in the spirit world, and we're all together. And absolutely, our family and friends are caring for our little furry friends. Our furry family will call them until it's time for us to cross over, for example. But our furry family are very much a soul, very much a soul. And I think if we really regard them with this high level of respect and integrity and unconditional love, because sometimes it's just hard to believe unconditional love, sometimes until you had a pet, right until you owned an animal, and then you're like, Oh, my God. Now I know. Now I know why people say this animal is my best friend, right? That's so, so real, even closer than your own family member, right? I mean, you know, they become more of your family than than your human family. Yeah, it's kind of wild how that happens? Because I know I have a pet that passed and a current pet now, but when she passed, it was like the heart, like so hard. It was like my daughter, like it was just so but it was unconditional love. And then I started to realize, with my new pet, that, like we just hold eyes like we just hold eye contact for so long. And I'm like, I don't hold eye contact with anybody. Oh, in the human world this long, and it's powerful, because you're just you, I feel like I'm staring into his soul. And I'm like, this is like wild, and at the beginning, he wouldn't hold eye contact with me because he was a rescue, but like, he wouldn't hold eye contact with me. And now it's like, the amount of time we can hold eye contact for without him barking at me is just like, it's magical, and it is that unconditional love. It's just so incredible. When you're relaxed and your animal, your pet friend, is relaxed, and you're looking that eye to eye contact, it's as if the the physical body goes away, and the light, the soul that you're talking about. It's like the soul behind the physical face comes through, or the light comes through. Oh, I feel that that feels really true. Oh, that's beautiful. Well, I'm extraordinarily grateful that the audience gets to hear you do a reading. I think that that's the most magical way to find somebody, because I feel like anybody who's listening is like, yes, I've been looking for somebody a tech communicator and and so whenever I see readings, especially online, I'm like, Oh my gosh, I just love watching them. So I know that the listeners are going to absolutely love listening to this. And I'm so grateful that you agreed to do a reading with me, absolutely, extraordinarily grateful. Thank you. Of course, of course. So let me know what you mean. I'm ready when you're ready. So look, I always just share with people when whoever's going to a reading, just have an open mind and an open heart, you know, you know. And ask always, always ask for the highest good to come through. We always ask for what's most appropriate? You know, we always ask for, you know, the message that we need to hear at that moment? Yeah, I do want to tell you I feel like your new family member you said you have a new family member was brought in by your little furry friend that passed. You know, your daughter will call it. And I don't know if you know if you feel this, but your new furry animal is either stares at the wall or is looking off into space. Or do you ever get that sense of like, what are they staring at? Of course, you would know, but to get that sense right? Yeah. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. And just the new animal, your new family feels very timid or feels very nervous. For some reason, I feel like they want to stay close to you, right? And I do see the color of red with your loving animal that passed. I don't know if you had any red leashes or blankets. That type of feeling, but I get the color red with them, and I want to say that they slept with you at night. Your daughter, I want to call her your daughter, because you mentioned that, and it's like, that does feel good, but your daughter feels very spoiled, and feels like I want to say the queen are ruled. And I keep hearing she had been ill off and on, if that's correct, and that I hear the pitter patter of little feet. So whether you have hardwood flooring or the tile flooring, you know where we can hear and then the high pitched bark. Is that correct? I feel very high pitched at times. Um, yeah, she didn't bark very much. The pitter patter totally. Her nails were too long. We just couldn't get them down short enough when we got her but so put her powder on the hardwood floors, 100% the bark. She didn't bark very often, but when she did it, it could have been high pitched. The new one, definitely high pitched. But yes, the everything you've said, 100% I also feel something with her throat happening, so whether she had a problem with this area, but I want to work here and go down to my chest area, because, you know, my breathing is, is she had a trachea issue, so she would have, like, honking fits and so, yeah, that would happen often. I want to tell you that I do feel confidence with her saying, Well, you know, you did everything I could. She's a little bossy now coming through saying, I know she did everything she could for me, if you understand that please, and it was her time to go and to never, never. And I feel like even at the moment she left this planet, it was exactly the point in time that she was ready to go, please, and you were able to say goodbye to her please. Would you understand that? Yeah, and that holding her pause, and I don't know why I'm getting heat in the room. I don't know Was this in the middle of the daytime when she left, or the sun coming in through the windows. It was the middle of the day. She was on a blanket, so that might have been it as well. Definitely holding her paw sometimes with the blanket is the heat. But you know, I just my husband holding her as well, also with the petting of the hair, and just knowing that I just fell asleep and all as well. And I just get a sense of there's a beautiful photograph, and maybe lots of photographs of you and her with these beautiful, like headshots, I don't know, like face to face. You know, we're right next to each other, is what I'm hearing. But she loves to play, and she is in a Disneyland heaven. She says it's always like fun, and there's lots to do, and she has all this energy again, because in the end, she's mentioning there wasn't a lot of energy she had, and her legs are much stronger now. And thank you for helping her walk again, because you were doing some of the walking for her, or you were helping her walk. Can you understand that, please? Yeah, I think it was when you said, Her legs are getting stronger, I immediately flashed to she would jump out of the bed at night, but she couldn't get back in. So I would every night, whenever she got out to get water, I'd just lift her back into the bed. Yeah, and she is bossy. So I we used, somebody used to call her bossy boots, so that's very much sense. Yes, totally. And she's she loves to be prepped, and, excuse me, crimped and pampered if I'm saying it right. And she loves it that you sang to her. And she has very, very good hearing, she says. And you always whispered to her, and it went right to her heart, she says. And I just get a sense of, you know, you never going anywhere without her, either. Can you understand that? Like she's a good friend, true and true, and she would do this again in a heartbeat. She says, now, is she? Was she also a rescue dog? Because I feel like you saved her life. Yeah, she was a rescue she was a rescue dog, and I get a sense of her being very different from any other animal you've ever had in your whole life, because she's like it went right to her heart, right to her heart, and she know that. She knows that's true. And also, would you either have a tattoo or you're wearing something that belongs with her? Like, I get a sense of you wearing something or even having a tattoo, if that makes sense, it feels like wearing something. Do you have something nearby you That's hers? Oh, I'm not wearing it, but I do have a bracelet, but I'm not wearing it, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. And also, because she's very much on your arm, like she's on your arm. She's standing up. She wants to know what's going on, what's what is this reading all about? And to tell you, once again, her throat is better, and also her backside is better, to tell you, because I get a sense of her being strained, and that she says she did not sleep a lot in the end or. You know, it was very much of upsetting for you and and your husband, but yeah, she's very well taken care of. Over in spirit, please, I want to, yeah, that's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. So, so grateful for all that, and it all felt very like very reassuring. You know, she has just to tell you you have her paw print, is what I'm hearing, and that I do feel her being close to your grandmother, if I may say that. And I want to say that, wait, wait, she's bringing I keep hearing, seeing blue eyes. Blue eyes, I don't know. Do you have blue eyes, please, or does your grandmother have blue eyes? I do, yeah, my grandmother had kind of blueish eyes. Okay? Fascinating eyes. Yeah, yeah. Friends, friends, forever. And once again, your beautiful animal, animal is saying, My heart, my heart is much. Is my heart is content. It's important for you to know that, because I just get a sense of you and her having a past life together, or many past lives where you've rescued each other before, but in some ways, she did rescue you. I just want to say because I feel like you picked her at a time when you were looking for a soul mate, or when you were looking for healing in your life, yeah, and now I'm at the crying part. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. You know our our animals go on to touch us, and there is that rainbow bridge she talks about, and she would do it all over again, and that, you know, I feel like she's saying you spent so much money on me, but you know, it's what we do for our animals, right there, our family, you know. And of course, there's no dollar amount we can even put on the value. But she wants you to know once again, thank you for taking care of me when it was hardest. She says when it was hardest, because it feels like so many vet bills, back and forth. Back and forth is what I'm hearing to the vets and so forth and the breathing. But she's all right now, and that's what's important when we do pass and when we do cross. It's nice to know that even she I even our pets when they cross. They still remain our soul mates. They still remain our best friends, and they look out for us, and they still send other animals to our way, you know, our new new dog. His name is mystic, and he's, he was totally sent by her, completely like I knew that it was he was going to be sent by her and completely in a totally different way. He seems much stronger than her. I just want to say, is he bigger than her? He's probably the same size, but he is much faster than her. He's younger than than she was when we got her and he's, yes, he's he's more vocal than she was. You know, I just feel her message to you is, all is not lost. And in some way, she says, Alicia, you've been there before, to the other side and back. Can you take that information for yourself, or is it something that you meditate with and connect? I think it's, I think for that, it's that I'm consistently connecting with the other side. Like, absolutely, yeah. So I think I'm going back and forth. It's like, your time, yeah? It's like, your energy is very balanced, like, you know, I'm here, but I'm also okay when I go over there, like I'm checking in over there, but I, of course, you know your life is here and you're grounded, for sure, but I want to say there's something about it's almost like checking on your family, like I'm going to go, you know, I'm, rather than making a phone call, I'm just going to check on them. Let me check in with my heart. Oh, they're okay. I'm good, yeah, absolutely, and I'm doing that consistently so that, yeah, that feels, feels very true. And then also, are you writing a book, or are you writing right now? Are you writing or journaling? I am on and off writing a book. Yes, I know that off and on. I know that I've been off and on for a long time, too. But I do want to say I just get a session. I get a section of this book being about animals, or at least being about your daughter, you know. So please, I'm saying, you know, I feel like her saying, Well, get on it. Let's go. Let's get on it. Mm, okay. I like that. I like that. Encouragement and motivation. Thank you so much. And so when this comes through, so now I'm curious of like all this. So when this comes through, how do you receive the information? Like, are you seeing it, hearing it, knowing it? Like, what is. How is the, what's the process like for you? Yeah, well, I do perceive and receive information through all my Claire's, you know, for, for today's reading, I was hearing, I was, you know, with a clear audience. I was seeing with my clairvoyance. And I was really feeling the love for, you know, which is clairsentience, you know, that's really the, the number one way to connect with spirit in any way is to really open the heart. When we open the heart, then all the other Claires kind of fall into place. But it is through that sensing, or that feeling of the love that you have for your family of them wanting to come through to give you the message. And then from there, they connect with me like I mentioned, through I hear them, or I'm seeing an image that they're showing me, like the color of red, or that she was showing me her toenails and her paws about prancing through the and, you know, getting what she wants, and the throat area she showed me, and then sometimes. But So for today, I was mostly seeing and hearing and sensing. Yeah, I love hearing the process. I think the process, I think also hearing other people's process helps people in their practice, because they know what else is possible for them. So I like to share that with them, with the audience as well. Yeah, is there anything else that you want to share or say that you think that the audience could benefit from hearing today, right? So look, as I mentioned, coming to a reading with an open mind and open heart and not trying to control what's coming through from Spirit, because it may be something way out of the blue, but then spirit will bring through validation and confirmation to show you that, yes, you were connecting with your guides and angels and loved ones, and that's a good point. Is to always ask your guides and angels and loved ones, ask for a sign, ask them to send it to you. Ask that it be so big and loud that it could be from no one else, that it gets your attention and it goes right through you. And I want to tell people when they find that feather or coins, you know, or the sign that they believe it's their loved one, think about, what were they just thinking about? Like, what were you just thinking about before you were finding that message? Because, for example, I found a coin, and I just been connecting with my dad, who passed away, right? And I was in a parking lot, and I find this coin, I pick up the coin, oh my god. I look at the date on the coin. It had. It was important for it related to my father as well. So think about what were you just doing when you find those signs? What are you just thinking about? Because usually that's what happens. And if we give it one more second than that, that doubtful voice will come in and say, Oh no, it can't be this easy. It can't be true. Is it really happening? And we go from, you know, doubt or not believing to, could it be you know? Is it possible to stepping into a knowingness and or a trust? So keep asking, and we're not. I want to let people know, you know you're not pulling on your loved ones energies that are still here, like they want you to ask them for help. They want you to know that they're okay and that they're loving you. You're not holding them back by any means at all. Like, keep them very much in your heart. Keep them in their prayers. Keep them in your prayers. I do know that they hear our prayers and it, it helps them, you know? It helps them in the spirit world to know that, gosh, I've got my family. They're still loving on me, you know, they're still talking to me like I'm their dad or their mom or their sister, and how wonderful it is for your loved ones and spirit to continue on their journey and still very much be a part of your life. Yes, I think that's incredible, like incredible, incredible information to give somebody. It's such a great reminder of what were you just thinking about when you see it? As you said that I looked over and I saw I have an entire base of feathers that I've found. I have a whole bunch more in my freezer that I need to clean. But even that I'm like, I didn't at all take a moment to see. I knew I was supported in those moments. I was like, Ooh, thank you. And like, have like, that moment of gratitude, but also just taking that moment to allow myself to go, like, what were you just thinking about? And receiving a little bit more, expanding into that, a little bit more. Yeah, relaxing into it a little bit more. And I like what you said about having gratitude. You know, when we get those feathers and those signs, like, have that gratitude and excitement, like, Oh my God, I know it's from you, send me more signs and really cherish it, and then the more we acknowledge it, that it's possible that could happen, even to have that open mind, even just a little bit Spirit, will send you 1000 more signs to confirm it, yeah, this has been such a beautiful episode, because, I mean, everybody gained so much learning how to connect in different ways. How you. What your process is, along with seeing how you end up executing the process to then more information of how to connect. It's just such a such a gift.
