One conversation can shake your certainty, even if you’re the type of person who normally needs proof. We sit down and tell the story of meeting Danielle, a therapist who is also a medium, and why what she shared stopped us cold. Victoria is careful about what she reveals publicly, especially when it comes to her grandparents and the kind of grief that never really fades, so when Danielle repeats specific phrases and names a deeply private family promise, it doesn’t feel like a lucky guess. It feels personal, precise, and impossible to brush off.

From there, we do what we always do: we talk it out in real time. Michael brings the skeptical lens, the “how could she know that?” questions, and the bigger spiritual tension of trying to hold Christian faith while also wondering what mediumship might mean for the afterlife. We explore what belief looks like when you’re not trying to win an argument, you’re trying to make sense of a moment that touched something tender.

We also zoom out into everyday life, because the emotional stuff doesn’t live in a vacuum. We share what it’s like to be stared at in public when you’re visibly disabled, why kindness matters in small moments like the grocery checkout line, and how we try to model compassion for our daughter. You’ll also hear our latest creative projects, from a children’s book about losing a loved one to an adult horror colouring book, plus honest updates on chronic pain, health routines, and weight loss.

If you’re curious about mediums, grief healing, disability awareness, chronic pain, or faith questions that don’t have neat answers, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with your take: skeptic, believer, or somewhere in the middle?

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Howdy y'all. This is uh Unstoppable here at a contagious smile with Victoria and Michael. And of course, stuck on Rusty's in a room. Hope y'all are doing well this evening. We well, I personally have skipped the few podcasts because I've been lazy, I guess. I have a medical condition.

SPEAKER_00

Shut up! Are you serious?

SPEAKER_01

Don't forget my gunshot wound. I'm still recovering.

SPEAKER_00

It didn't even break the skin.

SPEAKER_01

It did break the skin.

SPEAKER_00

Under a Hello Kitty child-sized band-aid.

SPEAKER_01

That's beside the point.

SPEAKER_00

There's not even a mark.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, Miss Tough Girl.

SPEAKER_00

There's nothing there.

SPEAKER_01

Tough girl, get your arm amputated and come home the same day.

SPEAKER_00

I also got 16 hours of surgery on my face, 26 pieces of metal, and came home the same day. I've never stayed overnight after our daughter was born from any surgery. I've always come home. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Y'all think she would look mutilated? I do look mutilated. The doctor told her she had or he had counted over 140 surgeries. But my wife is so beautiful. Just just the angel in my life.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you for reminding me. I need to get your eye checks.

SPEAKER_01

I'm wearing glasses, numb nuts.

SPEAKER_00

Okay,

Meeting Danielle The Therapist Medium

SPEAKER_00

I have to do it. I have to do it. I have to do it. So I am interviewing a wonderful woman this coming Saturday. Her name is Danielle. I am not gonna share the entire experience because it was very intimate and very, very personal. However, I am gonna give a couple of details, and my husband can uh put his two cents in. So I met Danielle through my partner, Michael Macnack, with the Care Coalition, and she is about to get her doctorate, and she's amazing, and she's a therapist, and she sees patients and things like that, but she's also a medium. And so, of course, a lot of people are skeptical about it. And so we were chit-chatting yesterday, and she I'm still so just blown away because you know, if you were ever skeptical, you'll have to listen to next week's episode with her because okay, let me just go this way. I'm still so like uh just I'm stunned. So I'm very private with a lot of details in my life, and I'm very public with a lot of details in my life. Like everybody knows that my grandparents meant the world to me. And I had just met her, and she just came in to the whole like knowledge of who we are and everybody else here recently. So she really didn't have time to really get in and get to know any of us. So I didn't give her specific details. My husband has to get his vibrator, so I apologize for any noise that you're about to hear.

SPEAKER_01

I love my vibrator.

SPEAKER_00

Seriously, she's got sciatic nerve issue. I think it's sympathetic to all the nerve transpositions and transfers I've had.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's it's I call it a vibrator, but it's uh it's a handheld massager.

SPEAKER_00

Sure, that's what you call it.

SPEAKER_01

And it works terrific. Is that a bob? This is my bob.

SPEAKER_00

Is it a bob?

SPEAKER_01

Does that make me homo? We support the community, we do, but not when it comes to me. I'm not a peter puffer.

SPEAKER_00

There's nothing wrong with gay men. For me, you have we have friends that are gay men.

SPEAKER_01

But I am not.

SPEAKER_00

You just need to get a little more secure in your homosexuality and your heterosexuality.

SPEAKER_01

Secure. I mean I'm secure. Just don't touch me. Anyway. Oh wait, I have had hugs before, haven't I?

SPEAKER_00

You you have. And we do know someone who had their first about you.

SPEAKER_01

He said, You have pretty eyes.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that was you do know that somebody that we know very, very well had their first dream about you. Yes, in a intimate way. Well, we're talking about anyway, so medium.

Grandparents’ Promise And A Broken Word

SPEAKER_00

Yes, so okay, so I'm very, very personal and private about a lot of things. So she starts talking to me about some things, and one of the things that you know she starts telling me is you need to stop saying I'm sorry, which I'm like, oh my, because I say it all the time. And then she started saying other things that have to do with my grandparents, and I literally just was so enamored with with the whole meeting of her and I, and then the things that she was saying, and she said to me something that nobody knows outside of like my really, really small intimate circle. And that was that both my grandfather and my grandmother on their deathbed told my sperm donor, my father, if you will, one of the last things they stated was that they made him promise that he, I can't even say it. They made him promise that they that he would watch over and take care of me. That was their request to him. And that was something they both asked of him on their deathbed. And at one point in time, my sperm donor even confirmed that and said, I know I've broken that promise and I'll deal with the consequences of it, and I don't care. So in this, she goes on, and we're having this conversation, and I'm I'm only gonna divulge bits and pieces of it. But she basically says that my grandparents are incredibly disappointed. And before she could say another word, of course, I jump in and I'm like, oh my God, what did I do? I'm so sorry, how did I fix it? And there I am with the I'm so sorry again that I was just told I need to stop doing. And it was, no, no, let me finish. Let me tell you what they're trying to convey to you. That's not all of it. And it was, they are so disappointed in their son because he didn't keep his word. And I literally almost fell out of my seat. Like, I literally, and my husband's sitting right here, you know that not even outside, you know, family members, they you know, like your side or whatever, they don't even know this. This is not something that I've openly just said to anybody, right? It's not even in books that I've never written it anywhere because that's something very intimate. Um, not that other things I haven't written aren't, but she said that they are incredibly disappointed in him because he didn't keep his word. And I was just stunned, I mean, shocked, stunned, and that this is something that they will never forgive him for. And then she told me that they're always with me and that they've been in the OR with our daughter, they've been in the OR with me. They use she used some words that both of my grandparents used to use routinely, that she would never have known had she actually not been told these things. And then for her to go on and say these things, I mean, it was just like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I know that there are plenty out there that say that they're mediums and they're not. I know that there are some that really are, and I was just dumbfounded by this entire event.

Skepticism Faith And Where Spirits Fit

SPEAKER_00

What is your thoughts over there?

SPEAKER_01

Sorry, I had to stand up. Well, you know, I'm very surprised at you because you you have such a high intellect, and normally I I would I would assume that the smarter you are, the less open you are to these kind of things.

SPEAKER_00

Normally I'm not very open.

SPEAKER_01

Right? Me being the sci-fi guy, I'm open to this shit, right? But I am very skeptical because you watch so many movies, you see these con artists, they they pick up on cues that the and tells that you give them, you tell them.

SPEAKER_00

But I've never told her to do that, especially the words, the specific wording.

SPEAKER_01

Some of those specific words specific, not the ocean specific really got my attention when you said that. Right? Say specific. Pacific.

SPEAKER_00

Specific.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I said.

SPEAKER_00

No, you said the ocean.

SPEAKER_01

Which ocean?

SPEAKER_00

Pacific.

SPEAKER_01

Gulf of America.

SPEAKER_00

Lord help me.

SPEAKER_01

Good. So I am I am I I'm I'm the straddler on the fence, right?

SPEAKER_00

Because if I say now you have a vibrator and you straddle wood?

SPEAKER_01

It could be a metal fence. I'm at a pole. I'm a pole dancer.

SPEAKER_00

I've wondered.

SPEAKER_01

If I say yes, if I say yes, I believe in that medium.

SPEAKER_00

Some, not all, are wonky donkey. No, I guess.

SPEAKER_01

And I believe that she can talk to the spirits, the dead. Does that mean I'm confessing that I don't believe in God? That I don't believe that you believe in God. You go to heaven or you go to hell?

SPEAKER_00

How does that I don't understand that?

SPEAKER_01

Well, how is she talking to them?

SPEAKER_00

She's talking to their spirit.

SPEAKER_01

Well, where's their spirit? They come from either in heaven or hell, in my belief.

SPEAKER_00

I am very much a believer in God and Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

So I mean So you see why I'm I'm I'm on defense here for that?

SPEAKER_00

Right, but there's no way that that Danielle could have known.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I understand that too. Some of the words. That's why I said she almost flipped me.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you know, there's other people that we've done and had on the shows and stuff like that before who were who I never, you know, I was like, oh, that's awesome, you're a medium, okay. And then I I never went back and was like, oh my god, I had a conversation with this person, and this person's made me a believer. Like, right, never. And I, you know, and we've had a few, and you know who I'm talking about, but like never did I have this kind of reaction.

SPEAKER_01

And and some of the stuff it's hard to get from you because you're Victoria Cure on here. Right? Yeah. And you're all over the internet. But nowhere does it talk about But it doesn't talk about now you would have you'd have to go back through hundreds of podcasts to get tidbits.

SPEAKER_00

Right, but nowhere was the nowhere have I ever said, and I'm very specific about certain things, like no, okay, nowhere have I ever said anything about the promise that I know for a fact. Right. You know, she actually even stated to me about me waking up in the middle of the night one night, and it was because he came in and to tell me goodbye, or that he had passed. And that was at the exact time that I had woken up, and I was like, and then I had this huge, like relieving exhale, and there were things that there's not a possible way she would have known had she not been real. And so the reason we're going on about this is one, I'm just flabbergasted at the fact that, like, you know, the things that she stated, and I'm not even going into a lot of them here because they're so personal, she would have never known. Number one, number two, she's coming on, and I'm interviewing with her on our show Saturday. So you guys will really get to see her. And if you ever have any questions, I'm gonna make sure you can get to hold up, get a hold of her and talk to her because you know, I lost my grandmother almost 30 years ago. And there's not, and my husband will tell you there's not a day that goes by I don't think about both my grandparents. And I even have both of them, I have their portraits tattooed on my back. And it was literally like I always had this, you know, and I've even told my husband from day one that if I'm a quarter of the person that they were, I've done an okay job. And I've said that all along, and you know, Danielle went back to say that they could not have even imagined me turning out 10 times more than they had expected, which was saying a lot, and that they are proud of me. But when they made the comment about my biological father and how disappointed they are because he didn't keep his word, that was it right there. Like that, you know, they she said a promise was broken, and I was like, Wow, oh wow, you know, and then it's because immediately when she made that comment, I was like, What do I need to do? I'm sorry. And then I'm going, I'm just saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sad, I'm sorry. I like, I was like, I'm sorry, I said I was sorry. And then she's like, Let me finish what they're trying to convey to me. And you know, I was like, I do always say I'm sorry. And here they are saying that they are very unhappy with him, and it's something they will never forgive him for. And I was like, wow, I couldn't sleep at night if those people were upset with me. Because here's the thing, and I'm gonna tell you this, and I'm only gonna give this little tidbit of it. Do you remember how part of it, and I don't want to say that part, was stated that they like no longer saw him the same, right? Right, right. And then if you remember, and I've said this to my husband, and when I say this to him, I think he's gonna really lose his shit. Do you remember when all of the years I've told you that when I was growing up, I didn't lose, like, if I got in trouble, I didn't lose my phone or the television. They took them away from me, right? I couldn't go over there. They would take my little donkey and my stuffed animal that they got me the day I was born, and they would say, You can't go over there for the weekend. You can't go over there for the, you know, and play golf on Sunday and Saturday, right? Now think about that comment that was made by her saying why they were around. Tell me, that's not like a oh wow, holy crap. Seriously, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't just be okay, you gotta say something. Like you seriously, like I I was like cup runneth over so just you know you have to say you like her. I do like her, I do like her, and I think everybody else will like her as well.

SPEAKER_01

So when's when's she coming on?

SPEAKER_00

I'm interviewing her Saturday.

Signs At Home And A Book Goes Live

SPEAKER_00

So that is that, and we are doing so much, we have so much going on and trying to get more. I know. We I just we had such issues with the stucco squad number nine, which here's another kicker about this one, right? Stucco squad number nine book. I've been trying to put out for since January, right? Okay, so today is Wednesday. I met with Danielle Tuesday. All right. I stopped trying to put up Steucco Squad number nine, book number nine, for like a month because I couldn't get it to go. Right. What is book number nine about? The fading color, losing the most important loved one in your life, right? For children between four and eight and how they resonate and understand at the comprehension level of that age group on losing a loved one, like a grandparent or something like that. It went live yesterday.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So what are you saying?

SPEAKER_00

I tried again yesterday for the first time in months with the exact same format on KDP to upload it to Amazon, the exact same cover, my same book, everything, and it went live yesterday. And it happens to be the book about losing the most important person in your life.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I will admit that there are times that that my my wife thinks her grandparents are in the room with us.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I'm saving that one.

SPEAKER_01

Because we'll be talking about something and the damn light will come on by itself.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Right?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or the musical come on. It's you know, and it's not it's not associated with Alex over here.

SPEAKER_00

It's just a different light switch that has no connectivity to any electronic device.

SPEAKER_01

Like, what?

SPEAKER_00

Like we'll be in the middle of the bed, snuggled up, and then the light will turn on. Or and it's always when he says something stupid.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, like that's that's daily.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I didn't say that, but like literally, or he'll be at the kitchen sink or something, and he'll say something, and something will drop. And it's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01

And we just say hello to both of them, right?

SPEAKER_00

And oh, and she also said that there's a lot of both of them and faith. Faith carries a lot of both of their spirit, and I see it all the time because okay, I know a lot of people know this little thing, you know. Like my grandmother would be like, Go get me a frying pan, right? And it never ever did she raise a hand to me. But like, she actually told me a couple of times, I'm gonna swap my son with it. And I'd be like, Can I get a cast iron? But that's horrible. I'm sorry. So Faith does it. She'll go, like, she does so many things, and she never, I mean, she physically didn't get to meet them, but from the meeting with Danielle, like she has met them time and time again, and they are her guardian angels, and they're our guardian angels. And then she even went so far as to say, Did one of your grandparents, does one of your grandparents have a birthday coming up? And of course, I answered the question and she said, last year on that day, y'all both did something very special. And I said, Oh my god, we renewed our wedding vows. And it was on her birthday, on my grandmother's birthday. She said they were there. Now, I mean, you know, and we didn't put that out last year, and that's not something that would have just been out there. And so that was just like another little thing that was. I mean, I I was just so impressed by her, and you guys are gonna love her, and it was great. So kudos to Danielle, and I can't wait for her to come on. Let's see what else is going on.

Public Stares Disability And Teaching Kindness

SPEAKER_00

I am very just I don't know, I I'm very old school in so many ways. Like people look at me everywhere I go, and it's because I am, you know, one armed and you know, I I have lots of scars and things like that, and I don't look like your average next door person. I get it. But I'm at the grocery store and behind me is a guy who's like, because I'm unloading the cart. This is today, babe. I'm unloading the cart. There's somebody in front of me who, you know, they're jaw jawjacking, and my stuff hadn't even started to be rung up yet. And the thing is really, is that whenever I go to the store and there is someone, I don't care what store it is, if there's someone in a wheelchair or there's someone in one of those, what do you call it, like the carts that scooter carts or whatever, I will always ask them, can I help unload your cart? Always. I always am like, can I help you unload your cart? I've asked older people, you know, can I help grab something for you? Can I reach something for you? So here I am unloading a cart full of groceries. This whippersnapper behind me is like profusely just exhaling so that he thinks I can hear it and his frustration. There's nothing I can do. There's a lady ahead of me and she's jawjacking to the cashier, and I'm just like waiting to put stuff on the aisle, I mean on the belt, you know, and it's like both of them are looking at me like I'm got the plague. Like, and it's often people when I'm pushing the cart and the cart's full, people look at me and they look at me like they look at me like in disgust.

SPEAKER_01

What a jumper skillet.

SPEAKER_00

No, but they do, they look at me like, ugh. And that's what's so wrong with kids today, is because they see their parents doing it. Kids are fascinated by it. When I see young children, like when I take faith to an appointment or or we're out anywhere and there's kids somewhere. People look, you know, the kids look at me and they think it's cool. And I'm like, oh, I'm Captain Hook's sister, and they think that's awesome, right? When adults they look and they look at they look down at me, number one. Number two, then they look at me like, oh my God, not only is she deformed, which I've heard them say, but she's scarred from one side down the other, you know? And I think that's that's what's going on with so many of our kids. Why our kids have insecurities, why our kids have body dysphoria, why our kids are insecure. Because if the parents are doing that to a stranger in front of their children, what are they doing to their own children behind closed doors?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I can I can imagine. You know, call them fat, stupid, you know. Every day we we tell our daughter that we love her, that she's that she's beautiful. We always say th words of encouragement. We don't ever use, you know, derogatory terms for her, other than if I'm kidding around, I'm like, you know, whatever, you whatever, you know, that call it in the world.

SPEAKER_00

No, you two are like the crumpy okay because you walk by and and you're like You'll say something to her, and then she calls you reformed whore or slut or tramp or you know, whatever. And I just sit there, and it's what? Oh my

Slippers Gunshot Dime And New Releases

SPEAKER_00

god. My husband, our puppies chewed up one of his slippers, slip sandals or slippers, or whatever you call them. And so my husband is walking around with one brown slipper and one gray slipper.

SPEAKER_01

They're two left feet.

SPEAKER_00

And on the tongue of it, he drew a face.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's because it's busted open.

SPEAKER_00

That has more of a wound than your supposed gun shovel.

SPEAKER_01

Look at that bad boy.

SPEAKER_00

It looks like a birthmark. That's a scar. That's not even the size and diameter of a dime.

SPEAKER_01

It's still a gunshot.

SPEAKER_00

It looks like a pellet. It looks like the size of a dime. It really does. Men have such an over-exaggeration when it comes to size. They just do.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, we do.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, you do. Men do. I mean, seriously, that's just ridiculous. So also, go out the crazy left field. Faith and I today put out, there's your dime. I'm gonna laugh. Look at that. How precise are women? We are spot on. Look at that. I said it's the size of a dime. My husband found a dime on my desk, put it over there, and it's the exact same size. Today, Faith and I released an adult coloring book that is horror. It's a horror genre themed coloring book. And my husband was so stunned because it's so way out of my element. It's not, you know, people are probably really tired of hearing that thing.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

But like it's so way out of my element for anything that I've done. And it is for adult is an adult coloring book, and it is horror to say the least. Right? It is definitely graphic. But she wanted to do it, and how do I say no?

SPEAKER_01

I don't y'all aren't used to Michael being so quiet. Oh no, we're quiet tonight. I'm just hurting. I'm trying to get what's good. Yeah, I don't know how you do it.

SPEAKER_00

When you don't have a choice, you just you just do it.

Chronic Pain Phantom Limb And Perspective

SPEAKER_01

I don't have a choice. This side of pain, y'all is no joke. It's it feels like it's burning, uh throbbing.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know losing your arm feels like if you are in a cast and all of your fingers and your thumb are bent backwards, backwards, and they are like literally cemented, and you're trying to pull them apart, and it's in a bed of dry ice. You know, they have these places where if you could put your hand in something that's this cold, like ridiculous cold below whatever temperature. Where was that? It's they have the water from the Titanic or the and it's at the temperature of what it was for the people when they jumped ship, literally. And they say if you can put your hand in it for 20 seconds, they give you some form of like big amount of money. Nobody's ever been over able to come close to it, right? But it is literally like being dry ice, constantly burning, tingling, numbing, pens and needles throbbing, and like it literally feels I mean, it's excruciating. And the thing is, nothing I do makes it better.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so I have nothing to complain about, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_00

So talk to our listeners.

SPEAKER_01

Listeners, I have nothing to complain about. You know, when I wake up, because I'm 52 years old, and I do wake up.

SPEAKER_00

And 52 for another couple of weeks.

SPEAKER_01

And I bitch and moan about my knees, my back, now my psychic nerves acted up.

SPEAKER_00

Isn't it better than the alternative though?

SPEAKER_01

And then I look over at my wife and see that she's got one arm and one eardrum. What the hell do I have to complain about?

SPEAKER_00

Hold on, one arm, one eardrum, five fingers, no real bones in my face. That's all been replaced. Shoulders been we can just go through I'm like a toolbox.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not proud of that.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like a toolbox. So instead of a car wash, I just need a WD40.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I got a wrench I need to put away the toolbox.

SPEAKER_00

Is that really inappropriate? I thought you were gonna say you had a hammer and some nails you wanted to nail it.

SPEAKER_01

No. No, don't be gross. Don't be gross? Yes.

SPEAKER_00

When are you gonna change the doorknobs?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00

That is his favorite word. Tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna put that on our t-shirts.

SPEAKER_00

And she looks at my husband and goes, Could that be yours? Is that one yours? How about that one? That one yours? What about that? Is that yours? That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00

We still, I mean, we we finish each other's sentences beyond soulmates. Like, seriously, the other day he got me a butt cushion because I'm in this chair for 18, 20 hours a day. And I ordered the exact same one. I mean, we're not talking about different, we're talking about the exact same one. Like our wedding rings that we do every year, we'll be like, all right, let's go pick them out. And we pick out the exact same ones every single year. Like he ordered, okay, so we have a canopy carport as well as garages, and he ordered these lights for under him, and I ordered lights as well. And he told me to come out there and look. And I was like, this is so redneck, it's so cute. Because he put all these like string lights that you would see like on a porch or a patio or whatever, and he put them underneath the carport.
