"If It’s Light It’s Right" Conversation with Spiritual Medium Cheryl Bradley

Something in you already knows the difference between a heavy yes and a light yes, but the mind loves to argue with the heart. We welcome spiritual medium, teacher, and author Cheryl Bradley to Intuitive Insights for a clear, no-fluff conversation about intuition, spiritual confidence, and a deceptively simple filter you can use right now: “If it’s light, it’s right.”

We talk about what intuition really is, why Cheryl calls it a lifeline and “a touch of home,” and how to clear the “earth chatter” that drowns out guidance. Fear and guilt come up as two of the most gripping emotions people face, so we dig into tools for naming fear, releasing what you cannot control, and choosing light without pretending life is easy. If you have ever wondered whether a disruption is “a sign” or just life happening, you will love the discussion on divine timing, trust, and staying steady when your ego tries to talk you out of a soul-led choice.

Cheryl also breaks down how spirit communication works in real life: symbols, signs, and the unique way your system receives messages through seeing, feeling, hearing, and knowing. Sometimes a hawk, a song, or a random image is not a riddle to solve, it is simply a loving hello. We also explore her book A Spirit’s Journey, the idea of soul planning and free will, and why gratitude and kindness can shift your energy when the world feels loud.

If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who overthinks their intuition, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What is one place in your life where you are ready to choose what feels light?

Welcome And The Core Mantra

SPEAKER_00 0:30

Hello, welcome to Intuitive Insights. I am your no BS woo-woo coach, Megan McDonough, and today is part of our Inspiring Conversations interview series. Today I have with me Cheryl Bradley. Cheryl is a spiritual medium teacher and author of A Spirit's Journey, which recently debuted as number one, the number one release, uh new release on Amazon. Her signature phrase, now I gotta say, Cheryl, I've been using this all week and I'm like, where did I get that from? It's so good. I'm like, I love that. And I was like, as I was reviewing today, I was like, oh, this is Cheryl's thing. If it's light, it's right. It's so good. It's so I've been using it constantly. It's so good. It's right on my teacup. Yes, it has become a touchstone for thousands looking to develop spiritual confidence and navigate life from a place of clarity rather than ego, as we all should. She helps others deepen their connection to intuition and trust the subtle guidance that flows through their everyday. Welcome, Cheryl. Thank you so much for having me, Megan.

SPEAKER_02 1:38

It's my absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

If it's light, it's right. I literally have been saying it all the time.

SPEAKER_02 1:43

And and it and it isn't, it is, it can be spiritual, but it can be anything um that feels light and right in your body. Um food choices, it could be uh I I just say it's um it's it's a place of just strong clarity. Uh because if it's light, it is right.

Clearing Earth Chatter To Hear

SPEAKER_00 2:00

Yes, and uh well, I I want to ask you a couple questions, but uh on that, I want um when I'm helping people uh recognize and discern their intuition and and you know kind of listen to their own GPS, um that's usually the answer is like if it what feels lighter, what feels more I remember when I before I moved to um Los Angeles, I was living in Chicago, and I had my yoga teacher and an ashram and a lot of people that I knew in New York and it made a lot of sense like logically to move to New York. But when I was looking, because I was waiting between New York and LA, and I went when I would think about LA, I just felt lighter. My heart felt better. And I was like, I didn't know it then, but it was light.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

And I always say too, Megan, too, you have to clear that urch chatter when you really move in there. But if you feel light, then you've got there. Because if you haven't cleared the urch chatter, then you don't you're not giving your light the opportunity to feel that it's right. Wait, what did you say? Clear the what? Clear that urch chatter, that noise, that that that chatter. The ego. Um because the ego's insidious.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

The mind.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

The mind. That's a beautiful, um, beautiful um foundational place place to go. But it yeah, if it's but once you get it, you have it. Um but if you're consciously moving to say, you know, is Los Angeles my place, let me just clear this earth's chatter, my mind. Yeah, it feels light. Yeah. Um, so anytime you capture that light, it's always right. Sometimes you have to walk towards it consciously, and sometimes it just arrives. Like you said, yeah. Yeah, it feels it feels right.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

I felt it in my heart, and I think it's interesting to say this because like I always say that the soul's uh like the soul or the intuition, the energetic body's um control center is the heart. Whereas the brain is the physical body's control center.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

Right? That's a great line of demarcation. Uh the heart has all your answers. You I always say you don't even need a medium, you just have to open your heart for those answers.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

And then, yeah, and then clear the channel to hear. So, speaking of which, how do you define intuition?

SPEAKER_02 4:23

Intuition is our lifeline. Um we choose to incarnate, and we've all we're all listeners here, so we did choose that. It is our lifeline, those psychic abilities is our tool to to um to maneuver this very difficult, challenging lifetime that we're in. Um and that's my book, A Spirits Journey. It really um it's weaved in through the whole book. We, if we were left here without the touch of home, um, that would be a really difficult journey. So that intuition is what empowers us to make those soul purposeful choices that feel light and right. But I will always say, too, that even if it feels light, and I'll go back to your example, Megan, of uh moving to Los Angeles, it feels light. Um even if you move to a place where it feels light, but things in your human mind say, but why did I go to Los Angeles? A, B, and C happened. Like, what was I thinking? And I always say that's not where your light, where you should sit with your light. If it was light, then you were meant to go to Los Angeles or wherever you choose for your soul lessons or for your lessons.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

I gotta add on to that because and specifically because of what you just said. So when I made the choice to go, it was not an easy choice. And there were several life events that kept popping up that were super, super trying hard to derail me from making that choice. And I was like, no, I'm gonna do that just to the point, like there were several of them that came up, but to the point where this is actually funny, you know, I got there, I had my one suitcase, and I like I think I shipped my Jack Delane juicer, that's like where I was at, you know, because I was like, that was my anyway. So um I got I got there, said goodbye to everybody, you know. I was like, I I got a m a couple of magazines, crap magazines, because that's what you to me, I was like, that's what you do with an airport, and you get the us weeklies.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

So I was sitting there and I was having my us, you know, sitting reading my us weekly, get preparing for my new life, and there was an announcement that our plane had been canceled because it got struck by lightning. And I just laughed. I just at that point I I just laughed. And then I figured it out. I got on a different plane and I made my way there.

SPEAKER_02 6:47

But but yeah, yeah, I just wanted to confirm sometimes, Megan, in in where you felt um, I call that divine timing. Like, was this a message? And if you weren't strong in your lighted boots, you could say, okay, that was a message, I shouldn't go. But that's our brain, that's our ego trying to always talk us out of um those pieces that come to challenge us or to uh or come to um really move us to to make final decisions. So when you're saying, nope, I'm gonna just get on that other plane, that feels light and right for me, and not succumbing to the fear or the uh or the self-doubt. That's the ego. So I applaud you, Megan, for for feeling that light. Yes, yes, and and I will continue that. I'll say when it feels like it is right and keep making it right. Um, keep making it right. Don't say to yourself, oh no, I I say don't use the word but and don't look in the back because that is your that is an opportunity for your ego to come in and just just come uh and and annihilate your thoughts. Um if you made your decision you felt like then that's where you are and keep asking, keep asking, keep asking and asking and asking. Um you could have asked Megan and said, um, was that a sign that I shouldn't go to to Los Angeles? And and you would resonate if you had if you're like I did.

Choosing Light Over Fear

SPEAKER_00 8:06

I think I did. And I was like, no, I'm still gone. Yeah. And the and the thing was is or you just said something that made me think of, you know, you have it, is it light or is it right? And and and my add-on to that is, and you have one choice in life, and that is to turn the light on or to turn the light off. Are you gonna live in in faith and hope and connection and love and um intuition, you know, guided by your heart, or are you gonna live in fear and in the body and in the brain and in uh all the subfrequencies that fear arises, like doubt, anxiety?

SPEAKER_02 8:43

And and that is a beautiful place, like you say, to to put your conscious thoughts. Um and and I'm gonna I I'll take that one step further too, because fear is very real. And and and I say fear and guilt are the the high-notch emotions in this in this earth's journey. Yes. Um when I feel fear, and I and I know it's fear, I name it fear, but I I can't um sometimes I need a little bit more help or some more guidance or some more spiritual tools, I say. I put I put fear on one side of me and I put light on the other. And to your exact point, and I say to myself, fear will never serve me, but light will. I'm choosing light. So just to serve your point, even at a higher pinnacle, is fear is real. And sometimes we just have to name it and acknowledge it to move through it, or to say, no, my light, my light is my light will never show me the wrong road. Um, I'm choosing that.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

Yeah, it made me think of um I think I did an episode a while back that was um fear is the matrix. So the thing keeping us trapped in this world and away from our light is fear.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

And guilt is a guilt is a humdinger too. I see that very often in my readings. Yeah, and and very often they tie together. But I will also say, Megan, that this emotional planet, uh this choice of us to incarnate into this this earth's plane is the most emotional of all dimensions. So it is we come here knowing, um we make purposeful decisions to help guide us um in this in this very emotional journey. And that that's what makes this Earth's plane the most opportunity to ascend our souls higher to our Lord God, the whole reason for us to be uh walking on this plane of existence. And it and because of the challenge of it, because of the emotional component that exists nowhere else in all of the dimensions.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Um and we need our learn how to work with the emotion and not be pulled by it. You know, because the emotion has a lot of power in the energetic space and the intuitive space, um, if we're not attached to it.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

And and I go back to your starting point of that intuition. Um, our psychic abilities fuel what we call intuition. And that is our lifeline to the other side.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

Yeah, I think you said a touch of home. You I wrote that down when you said lifeline, you said as a it's uh the intuition is a touch of home. I just oh I think that's just beautiful.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

And and that's what my book is all about. It is the remembrance um of our of the choices that we make, the choices of us to incarnate. Um I broke the book into um four parts. I don't mind. Would you like to made a text? I have a question for you. So part one talks about the other side and and how it is very unique uh to each person because what we create, um what we imagine we create on the other side. And then part two moves into okay, where our spirits have chosen to incarnate, and as I mentioned, um for the sole purpose of ascending our souls higher to our to our God or our source or whoever we we pray to diviness. Um and all the decisions and this uh soulful purposefulness that we put together prior to coming in, prior to birth, um, it will be um eye-opening to to remember. Uh and that's what this book is about is remembering. Uh it's not my story, it is our story. And and and as we come into this earth journey, as we come into birth, uh into where we are now, all our listeners in this in this lifetime and the experiences and some of the pieces that we were talking about earlier. And then the final part, part four, talks about our return back home. Um, and I bring it, I bring it forward in my heart and in my um in our soul cycle and our souls remembering is it's of comfort. Um our human, our humanness, rightfully so, in our humanness, we see grief and sorrow and in so many devastating emotions when uh when loved ones move back home. But that is not how the spirit of the soul sees it. Um and and I bring that forward um in in and to help us to remember with our hearts, because that grief and that sadness and and that pain, it it fences our heart. It makes it hard for us to remember. Um and and there's no judgment in spirituality, and there's no have-to's, and and there's no um there's no time, and and there's no judgment. And and so I say that with with understanding that where we are in this journey is where we are. And that's beautifully okay. Um, and if we're not if we're not terribly open to going home or understanding home, I say this book helps to uncover and help you to remember that it is a beautiful journey back home and that we've been here many, many, many times. Um and so this this book, uh Spirit's Journey, captures just one, one cycle of the spirit and moves to allow you to remember your soul's journey and how unique we are, and and to remember that you're never alone. And that intuition is that lifeline. Um, it is our remembering, and our hearts have all the answers, so we can ask anything. Nothing is held back. Um and that's where our answers come from the from the clearing of the chatter and really our openness to spirit and light.

A Spirit’s Journey And Returning Home

SPEAKER_00 14:19

Now, my other question to you, and this will lead into I want to ask a little more book, but um, which is uh Well, give me a little bit of history. Like, how did you I believe, and I think you probably do too, we talked about this a little bit, but everyone is intuitive, everyone has the capacity to listen and um communicate on an energetic, intuitive level. When did you discover um what prompted you, what was kind of the inciting incident to start utilizing this gift of yours more in your life? You're a spirit a spiritual medium as well. So when did you notice, when did you notice those abilities, those skills, that affinity?

SPEAKER_02 15:06

I came in in in part in parcels, and um so when I was a youngster, I always saw spirit. I saw faces of spirit, always, always, but didn't communicate and and very much um was um did not want communication, um, scared of them, uh in in essence. Uh and then um at about age seven or eight, we come into I call it the earth hum. It's it's it's earth's amnesia to kind of um forget about the other side um because we're now in our journey, we're fully into our journey. And and and so at around seven or eight, I did come into that quietness um in purposefulness. And I was always extremely intuitive, extremely prophetic, but I never named the mediumship. I never named that. And it wasn't for decades later, after I raised my my beautiful children, um, which I feel is was my my first and foremost um spiritual goal. And it was when I had a few family members that passed away, and they visited me in a profound way. Um and that is really what what just um became an epiphany and became a wow, what is this? Uh and then I just as you mentioned, I just kept going into spirit, and spirit would talk to me and and and move me, and I began to um relay messages to loved ones and friends, and and and it became bigger and bigger. And I I I was a um a uh public school teacher, so I was told early on that I would need to retire and because both would become too too deep for me, too, too much, too much, and I said, No way, that like no, that can't happen. But to the day it did. Um and so always listen to spirit. But spirit also prompted me about 10 years ago to put together a presentation and they named it a spirit's journey. Um and talked about in and I worked only with spirit, I've only worked with spirit, I've asked spirit everything. Should I use this word? Should I use this picture? Should I how what what should I do next? And and as you say, you just resonate with your answers. I have my own unique journeys, just as we all do. Um so I would I would I would sense and feel and see what they showed me to, and then I would present this presentation, Spirit's Journey, many different places and different events. And then um I was told to create a podcast. So I created a podcast named The Spirit's Journey. Oh, if it's light, it's right. I love it. Um and I call them Spirit 101s, lots of Spirit 101s. And then I was told to create the book. So that presentation, birthed 10 years ago, um, became my book. Um, and and added um many of my mediumship experiences and my spiritual experiences in in I kind of intertwined that and I used a very spiritual narrative um language because I I wanted to because it's not my story, and I wanted to make it accessible to some people that are just a little curious, and some people like yourself who are very evolved in their light. There's there's so many, as you know, so many different levels there, but everybody can pick out something. Um and so the purpose of that book was to let you know that you're not on this journey alone, that there is so much light for us. Um you we just need to open um in in and embrace that light. And um but sometimes, as you say, people feel as though parts of their life maybe came as punishment or those those um and I I I come to you with love and comfort and and not judgment, but to say there's very often times that our spirit asks for what we've received. Um and and that is to give yourself light and comfort, to know that some that we chose so much of where we are in this journey. Um and but because our Lord God gave us free will, we are all also at the mercy of everyone else's free will. So that ripple effect does affect us. We came in knowing that contingency. We came in knowing that we not only have our karmic aspect and our past lifetimes and our challenges and our experiences that we wanted to attain in this lifetime, but we're also getting the influx of everyone else's. And and just to come to understanding, just as you said, to name fear. Um, just naming fear is very um is it can be very empowering um if you choose that lens.

SPEAKER_00 19:35

There's uh something in the Bible, and I'm not like an ad the uh you know, like an avid Bible quoter at all by any means, but I do remember that there is I think it's a think it was Lazarus or something. Was it Lazarus? But it was like name the name your fear. And it was once you name the fear, then it has no power over you. Which I thought was interesting.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

And and and I and I would agree with that, right? Just naming that sometimes does give it wings. Or I say give it to the universe. They will take all of our junk.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

They want us to have waiting with like they got like they got like a what do you call it? Uh a glove, like a picture glove.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

They're like, whatever you imagine they have for you, right? And I say because when your thought is even done, they're grabbing it from you. So so send, they don't, they don't want us to to to uh to have any more um pain and suffering than than what we initially asked for in our in our soul contract or you know the reasons for being here. Um so I say give it to the universe. Yeah, throw it and let them catch it with their gloves. Imagine, yeah, yeah. Sometimes they have to get big old just or a big old pair of scissors and like cut the cords or whatever speaks to you, you know. I always say what you tell your spirit to do enlightened love, it always does. And trust that. And trust that.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

Trust is a big one, trust is a huge one, and that's where I've been focusing a lot lately because I feel um as the chatter and the ripples become louder and more amplified with fear, no matter where they're coming from, right? Um it makes it harder for us to discern and hear our own trust or to garner trust with self so that we can discern what really is true and what is not. I would absolutely agree. And I feel like that's something that over time in different like ancient philosophies that they kind of all have a variation of saying this, is to find that inner guidance to help you discern, you know, what really is light, what really is, you know, fear or dark or whatever.

Cheryl’s Mediumship Awakening Story

SPEAKER_02 21:53

And let me take that one step further, Megan, because you make a beautiful, beautiful point. Is our hearts have all the same collective knowledge. How you say things is exactly what our our hearts all hum to, but it isn't always um the words that are get said are not always clearly defined, but it all holds the same main beautiful lighted i ideas. Um, and you're exactly right. Um, we all had the same collective knowledge and the understanding of home, even though the definition might be just a little different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different colors, different themes. And the words don't I always say the words don't match. Spiritual words and human words don't always have a strong um matching vernacular, right? It it's it's um and so be open to that. Or ask. Ask. Clear the earth's chatter, ask and see how it comes. Spirit just arrives.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

That's the thing too, I found, especially when I was trying, uh, you know, so I've always had an like been intuitive. And then when I kind of did some this and like intuitive training and going through like what are some techniques and tools that I can use to access it more readily. I find not just myself, like I found it myself, but I see when I help others, is that we we're afraid to ask. It's like, oh, we got the answer. I don't know, I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means, but I got it. You know, and you just like freak out and you're like, but but but ask why. Clarify, ask questions, have a conversation. It's a conversation.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Um people feel as though um they don't have the ability to. We don't have the ability. Or the right, right.

SPEAKER_00 23:30

You know, permission or whatever, you know. I ask everything.

unknown 23:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

Once I figured that, I'm like, okay, well, I'm asking everything now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Um, you were as you were talking about that the you know, the lifeline and the the touch of home and kind of the soul's journey, I made me think of something I was I don't even remember what it was on. But it was the visual of the ocean, right? Like it's all ocean. Speaking of spirit, that it's all ocean, but a wave will take the shape of a wave for a certain period of time, but then it returns back to the ocean. So it was only the shape of a wave, or it was only a wave for a brief moment. But it was always the ocean.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

I love that, Megan. In that, um, I always say our beings are half human and half-light, and that half human is is um all those emotions in the half-light is that 1% I say are very hard to get to, but it's always knocking on us. It's our higher spirit, our soul, our spirit, whatever word speaks to you. And Megan, I have to say that um what our higher spirit does very often is gives us those nudges, all those visions to help us make sense of the things we need help with. Um, to let us know those powers of home. So you having that vision of that, that um that wave and how that speaks to you so deeply and gives you explanation is that that beautiful relationship of your higher spirit in your your human place. Yes, it is beautiful. Because the next person might be going, it's a wave, big deal. But it was not it was strong to you.

SPEAKER_00 25:14

Waves, well, yes. And actually, um let's let's talk about that, Cheryl. Because I think that um because to me, waves, uh, specifically to your point, waves uh in the ocean have a very like special place in my heart. It feels very spiritual to me, right? And you're like saying, if somebody doesn't really like water or the ocean, it may not you know be presented to them in that way because that's not something they are you know uh connected to. So the next step is and this is something that I'm sure you talk to people about too, is like okay, I saw a picture of a red balloon. What what the hell does that mean? Do you know what I mean? And it's like taking because spirit, energetic body, intuition, soul, whatever you want to call it, doesn't speak doesn't speak a uh language that we have on earth. It's not like gonna speak Sanskrit, it's not gonna speak Italian, it's not gonna speak English, it's just it's not it resonates. It resonates. That's right. And so it resonates, and it's it's uh I call them the feel, see, feel, hear, feel, no, feel, feel. But you feel them see them. Feel it, then you hear it. You feel it, then you feel it.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

I will say too, that that is your unique connection with spirit. Well, that is true. That is very true. Because I won't always feel something, I might see something and then hear it. Well, that's the clear. And and as you say, the clears all come together.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

That's right. And so so in in teaching, some people, you know, some people are more audio, some people are more visual, some people feel it in their bodies, you know, some people just like kind of have a knowing, you know, it just kind of pops up in their head. And um, but the translation of that, like knowing that it is a specific language just for you based on you, and then you pull that in, unpack, and specify.

How Spirit Uses Signs And Symbols

SPEAKER_02 27:10

I I'll give you a I'll give you a visual for that. When spirit wants to communicate um through me, through you, through whatever else, I say, imagine that spirit just like opens up your your and they say, Okay, how can I tell Cheryl these pieces? Um maybe that red balloon means um uh heaviness, or maybe that red balloon means stop. Maybe that red balloon is is a memory for um when they were a child, right? So they're doing that as and as my mediumship and my and and they're going through me, but they want to get to the loved one. So think how intellectual they have to be to make that carry on. But I I the signs, um I hear this so often, like Cheryl, I I saw a hawk and and I felt my dad. Okay. That's right. Well, what did he want to tell me? Sometimes spirit just wants to go, hi, I'm here. That's right. Hi, I'm hugging. Hi, I see going through. There isn't always a message. It just is a bee. But our brains and our humanness want to navigate and we want to get an answer to what we feel. And I'd say, be very careful of that. Because anytime you move into your mind or your thinking, you move out, you shift it out. You moved out of the feeling. Yeah, yeah. I mean shifted into humanness and out of spirit. So stay in the moment and ask for more. Like what does it feel like? Yeah. Right. Give me something more, or just table it and say, okay, show me more or tell me more or sense more at another time. Um, but we as humans go, okay, what it what was that for? I know I I I got something. And I said, be open to that, because as soon as you do the uh you went into you've been into your human side. That's you squeezed it. You squeezed it. And you put a and you put a fence right over your heart that it isn't able to. And sometimes we miscue it, um, and then we we come into um a place where we're like, uh, I was wrong. That's not that's anything that happened. Um, and then we lose our spiritual confidence that way. So um I always say be mindful that you're in the light and and be mindful when you know you're in the light.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and the and the trusting is important too, because uh we're so trained to trust our brains and not our hearts, you know, and so when something pops up that doesn't make logical sense, you know, um but we create that logic, and then we see it doesn't fit.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

And then we're like, I I don't got this. You know, to your point, um it's it's just the human and the ego is just insidious. It's truly insidious. And sometimes I ask myself, am I an ego right now? And I'm asking that. So sometimes I'll even question myself on that as well. Um I I'm I call myself a serial validator.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

Yes, well, it's good. I truly do. And I I actually I had that trip up at one point too, and I was doing my training, and I I remember my teacher saying um to me, you know, like I was like, I know intuitively how this is. I know I know intuitively how this is. And she's like, Well, why don't you look at it in the intuitive space? Like, like, you know, go to that space. Don't just like just go to that space. And I was like, whatever, fine. You know, so I went to that space and I was like, oh totally different answer. And then I was like, never don't go to that space. Or maybe not an answer, right? Maybe just um leave it. And it it show well, it showed me my ego. Beautiful. Because when it comes from spirit, there is no anger, there is no fear, there is no attachment. Doesn't reside. It doesn't, it doesn't, there's no a major emotion like that's pulling your brain off uh peace. It brings you peace, you know.

SPEAKER_02 31:10

And and and I will always validate. And and sometimes you get I say you you you form an algorithm where you're like, I don't even need to ask it, I just know. It feels light, or I resonate with light. Um, but it really is a is a mantra that is a a tool you can um keep walking, keep walking the spiritual stones that way, right? And keep asking and moving forward. I say sometimes spirit gives us a strike and sometimes they give us a popcorn trail, um, because that's part of the nudge or the the where we're supposed to go. Um trust that when you ask the light, light always shows. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:47

And sometimes Bill, and then I I I'm more you know, I I I keep getting intrigued by the idea of astrology. I play around in it, but but but but for the point of the external energies of the planets and our cosmos, which is also kind of part of our energetic being, and places where the windows are open and when they may be a little more closed. And so sometimes, you know, stuff comes to you without even you're just like, Jesus, you know? And then sometimes you're like, is this thing on? Is anybody home?

SPEAKER_02 32:26

You know, we call it the ebbs and flows, right? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We can always move there in a conscious way anytime that we choose, but it's not always a one size fits all. Um, so be open to what you see, feeling here, that just that instant, that moment. What do you need? And and be moving.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

What would you tell, like, what are like a couple of things or like one thing, you know, uh that you would tell someone who is, you know, maybe listening or watching and and you know, saying to themselves, like, oh, I know I'm intuitive, but like, how exactly should I go about accessing it?

Simple Ways To Build Intuition

SPEAKER_02 33:02

I to me, the bottom round the bottom foundation is as we talked about is identifying those psychic skills. Um, on my website, shorebradley.com, I do have a what's called a spiritual toolkit. So just tapping into and naming, you know, do I see pictures that just kind of show and I will always I I I I line that up by a natural, um, natural world. Was there a natural reason why I heard that? Well, no, there's not a person in this house, so but I know I heard that, right? So now we're talking two Claire's, as you know. Um, so that's an identifier. And and just to see how you get your messages when you're open to them, because identifying the strongest Claire, and you made mention of this earlier, Megan, too, is once you know where your stronger abilities are, lean into that. Ask, show me a picture. Um, show me, give me some words. Um, and that's that will build that spiritual confidence. Um, I I say start small though, start with inconsequential questions. Um, for instance, should I wear um this red shirt or blue shirt today? If it does, if it truly matters, then then it becomes a little bit my ego. But if you're like, no, I like either color, I like either. Um and I use a mantra enlightened love and my highest best good. That's kind of my starting. So feel free to take that and edit it. Um yeah, blue feels. Does that feel like, yeah, yeah. For whatever reason, blue feels right. Um start little consequential pieces. Because as you grow and as you become spiritual confident, um, you're gonna have bigger asks, you're gonna have bigger ego questions that'll have an opportunity. But once you've you understand how your spiritual, your in unique spiritual connection is, like you spoke about again, Megan, because you're very in tune with your intuitiveness, then you kind of lean in and you see how that fits. Um start small and then it will grow and grow.

SPEAKER_00 34:51

Yeah, and how you can translate it to yourself and to others if it's more. Right. Um so uh what was I gonna ask you next? So with this book, what's what's one thing that you really so who I know you said this is book is for um, you know, for for people who have uh really dabbled in the spiritual world and self-evolvement, and then for those who are just kind of coming to it. But like if I were, what would prompt me to pick up uh a spirit's journey?

SPEAKER_02 35:24

My spirit's journey is just a book. I always say, and in it in I've had so many people go, I don't know what it was, Cheryl. I just had to come or I had to. I say, listen to your light. Is this a book that speaks to me? Is this a book that will speak to me? Ask your light. And I say if you're curious, there's something to get in this book. And I wrote it as a reference. I wrote it something that you could keep coming back to. And I haven't noted this yet, Megan, but I have a part five, which is reflections and prompts. Yes. Um, that that detail each of the parts that you can ask your heart. You can go and inquire about yourself. What karmic pieces did you bring in this lifetime? How about past lives? What if past life is influencing you today? Um, they're not hard ass, they they don't have to be deep dives. It's just a feel, um, to just know that our life has purpose, it has, it has meaning. And we chose and we we made such an incredible um gains on trying to become an efficient lifetime that we we want to become, we want to be efficient, and we put so many places in there and our choices and and our our first choice, I we I always um I always kind of want to add this in our first choice that comes into human fruition is we choose our biological moms and dads. We choose them, and and you're evolved so you understand that. And we choose them, and I categorize all our purposeful choices in three categories, and there's many hues of of in between. We choose our connections and our for for comfort, for challenge, sometimes indifference. Um, they're just our vehicle, uh, not just parents, our soul groups, our siblings, yes, our location, our our sexes, our our sexual lives. We choose it all for purposefulness. Um and so this book helps you to say, wow, uh that speaks to me. That makes sense now why A, B, or C. Um, and that is why um I move this book and I and I want to continue for people to understand their journeys that they're here on purpose, um in a beautiful way, and and and just open to your truths.

Soul Planning Free Will And Tolerance

SPEAKER_00 37:41

And help them peel back the layers that cover the light. Yeah. Yeah. To remember. To remember, yeah. Oh, I know what I was gonna say. There was a show, there was a it was a m uh limited series on it's either Netflix or HBO, but it was called Oh god, I think it was like 1918 or something. Or 1819 or something. I'm gonna figure it out and put it in the show notes. I'm not familiar with it, but let's hear. It was uh it was interest I thought it was an interesting show. It was really cool. It's by this um, I think it was a German director who ended up doing the show Dark, which was also very interesting. I don't know if you saw that, but kind of like um sci-fi spiritual, you know? And so they were all on this ship and they all spoke different languages, and uh they all had like an invitation to be there, but they didn't know how they got there. They didn't remember anything from before being there. And then as they go through, as a they go through, not to spoil it for anybody, but as they go through, you um they start to peel back the layers of the illusion of the world that they're living in. And then it ends with them like the whole game, quote unquote, having to reset the game of this world that they're in because it's uh breaking down and they have to reset it. And then it ends with them, uh well, I I'm like, I'm like, should I ruin this? But the the idea is that they they didn't f they didn't win the game yet. They got real close. And not winning the game, but like get the message, right? And how did that feel to you, Megan? Like what did spiritually, what did you get out of that as a message? At that, I was like, oh my god, this is the soul's journey that we're coming onto this place, we don't know where we came from. We we sort of recognize people and we have these affinities towards people, but we're not totally sure why. Um there's things that are that kind of like creep up on us, but we don't know why they're there, like that would be like your karmas, your samskaras, and then um you know you're supposed to do something, but you're like, what am I supposed to do? And so you're on this like quest, this journey to figure it out.

SPEAKER_02 40:16

Right. And Megan, that's your higher self going, come on, Megan, find sense with that, find sense with that. And and again, you found that show just as people will find this book. 100% to to to to make understanding in the human brain or consciousness or uh and and in the illusion, I love that word too. Um, that made that connection with home or that remembrance of home. Like I don't have all the answers, but there's something there. Um and and and you you name that point exactly. I see that's our higher self going, come on, uh, just let me hold you and I'll show you what you need.

SPEAKER_00 40:54

I'll bring you there. It was interesting too, because it's and maybe this is also how I feel about the soul's journey in some way, you know. But at the end, when they have to start over and the whole game has to start up, the whole thing is reset and starting from scratch. They were so close to figuring it out, right? And they have to start over. I was like, oh man, why couldn't they just got it? You know, why did they have to start over again?

SPEAKER_02 41:21

Two spirit's journey. Because we come back in, we come back in. But but what's interesting too, Megan, and I and I kept hearing this, so I I feel like I need to say this is think about when um, and I always speak from my spiritual perspective, when we move back home into that beautiful bliss where none of those human emotions exist, and we choose to come in. Think about how much our earth has changed. Think about when we come in, um, how much growth the the earth has been in since we've last been here, and and how much we have to learn again and find that hum of the earth again. Um, we do watch from the other side, so we do have that understanding, but that emotional component doesn't exist on the other side. Um, love and tolerance and all those, those I call them optimal personalities and optimal emotions exist, but not the the human journey emotions. Um but think about how difficult it is when we do choose to come in to kind of relearn and reacclimate. Um and that's a reason too why we we socially we we we choose to create a past life in parallelism to kind of understand it because how we leave one lifetime is how we come back into another, whether it's a soul connection or um um mothers and fathers or locations or themes. Um we we come back knowing how we're going to um react to that, and that's that's part of our soul planning as well. Um if we changed everything, we would come in uh in in and have lots of difficulty. So we come in with certain parameters and certain guide wheels that we know that we will exist with. Um but just think of that component of coming into a brand new world. And that's if you come into the same exact location. How about if you choose another country or another um another big aspect? Um there's a lot to learn, and that that lifeline, our intuition, which is part of your whole podcast here, which I love, that is that is where we find home in peace and comfort, um remembrance.

SPEAKER_00 43:29

Amen. Amen. Absolutely. Um, Cheryl, you're on a book tour now, yes?

SPEAKER_02 43:36

Or yes, I'm I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_01 43:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:39

Um I'm really working a lot on podcasts. I'm doing um a little bit of TV, I'm writing some articles. I love it. I put my um my readings kind of on hold while I'm I'm getting situated on that. So it's very exciting. And and I'm just I'm so I'm so um honored and humbled um to get this message out. Um that is um boots on the ground as you are, just to just to to let people know um what home is and and how home will never fail you.

SPEAKER_00 44:12

Um and and to give out license. To pull it back to. What you said at the beginning that we're kind of in this um the static is rippling and creating more static. But if you create the positive or light-filled or remembering ripples, create more of that. And then there's more of that in there too.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

In in in the uh a main focus of my book is to remind us that we're on our own unique journeys. That no two spirits were infinitely unique based on our karma, our past lives, our experiences, all those and much more. And that to give tolerance to others on their journeys. And in and and control what you can control in your spiritual path. Um and and just to honor that. Um, that we are given free will, we carry it through every realm and every universe that we choose to go to. Um, we could talk about other universes, but we'll stay on the on the earth. Um but we we make those choices and and to remember that you are on your own unique journey. And what you can't control, you need to work to release. Um that is that is part of the light.

SPEAKER_00 45:26

Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Um, is there a list of uh places you're you will be with your book uh tour on your website, Cheryl Bradley?

Gratitude Kindness And Sending Love

SPEAKER_02 45:35

Yes, I I'm putting that together now. I just um I it just published last week, and I'm so I was so excited that it came out as a number one new release. It's so exciting. Yes, it in its debut. So I wanna I wanna um renew that and and and move that to to whoever calls to to to read and and it's a book, Megan, that you can keep coming back to. Not just my book, not just your podcast or my podcast. I always say when your light is open in the world. It just comes. It just comes. And you can open up the same page and get different downloads or different resonations. Yeah. So I say open your heart and and and take take what you need and leave the rest. There is no, there's no have-to's, there's no judgment, there's no spirituality has no rules. Um, just give yourself grace in your journey. And uh for those of others as well. Because even though our human self says, why, how can they? Well, this is even I say I have two beautiful children, they're on their own journeys. I love them more than I can express on this TV, on this podcast, but I also know they're on their journeys. And at times I have to cut them too. Um, not loving them, just cut them because they're doing what they need to on their journey. Amen. And so that tolerance is a really beautiful place to come back and remember. And gratitude will always help bring us out of the funk of the darkness, and it doesn't have to be big, as you know, Megan. It's just to be a sliver of gratitude, just to shift the focus.

SPEAKER_00 47:09

We had, I'll just say this real quick. We had spring break last week and we we just stayed home, which was great. I wanted to like clean, but my husband was out of town, and so we got some, you know, like cleaning and just doing some stuff around. And my son was having a hard time, and um he was just really about everything. And so I told him, I said, Okay, this is the deal. Every morning for the week the next for this week, you're gonna write ten things that you're grateful for and why, and they have to be new every day. And so he res you know resisted a while, but then but then now it was like he looks forward to they both of them look forward to doing it. And then a lot of them are very stupid. But I'm like, that's okay. But that's their lane, right? So so that their gratitude is, you know, I got to play Mario Kart today or whatever that was. He's like, it's a chair for sitting, shoes for walking. I'm like, all right, keep going. You know, and then then they'll get like one good gem out of it.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

But you also shifted them, right? You shifted them into and and that's that's the important lane piece. It's not what's on the paper, as you know, it's it's the shift to find that.

SPEAKER_00 48:22

Well, and and I just want to echo your if it's light, it's right, like um not just in yes or no when you're asking spirit or intuition, but also the ability to raise your vibration to a higher, lighter one opens you up more to hearing more messages.

SPEAKER_02 48:42

And and I wanna, before we finish for today, and I know we're getting to the end, I want to just remind people because there's a lot, um, and I'm not a political person, I I don't want to, I'm not going there because I don't, I don't even know where I would go. But there's a lot of hum in our world right now. And I say too that people are getting very um very heavy with that. And I will all I will just send some love and say to them that what we can't control, we have to release. But I say our energy is never created nor destroyed, it's just transfers. So I say send love. Send love and healing, because that feels beautiful than to just sit here and say, I don't like what's happening in A, B, or C, but and I can't do anything, but you can. Where can you share?

SPEAKER_00 49:27

Where can you connect? Where can you give? Where can you be grateful? Where can you be generous? Right. And the smallest thought too.

SPEAKER_02 49:35

It's not, it's not it's it can be just in thought.

SPEAKER_00 49:38

It is simple. Absolutely. I'm feeling love, and I'm and I want you to feel it.

SPEAKER_02 49:43

Right. Send it, see it go, feel it go. Um, bring it to wherever you want.

SPEAKER_00 49:50

Love heals all. Well, thank you so much, Cheryl, for being here. This is your book, is sounds amazing, and you're just fantastic. And I hope that you just have the most successful uh book launch. Well, it's already launched, but book um uh tour. That's the word. I couldn't get the word out of my mouth. Okay, I love it. And and just, you know, keep spreading the light because we all need it.

SPEAKER_02 50:15

And and to all your listeners too, take a moment and just spread a little bit of kindness. That's really that is our soul's, that is what our soul came here to do. It's not uh the amount of money in our bank account or or the friends that we have. It is about just leaving the world just a little kinder. Um so when you need that focus, that's all it is. Be more connected. Be more connected.

SPEAKER_01 50:39

I love it.

SPEAKER_00 50:40

All right. It's a blessing. Thank you so much. And um, I'll put all Cheryl's information in our show notes, and we'll see you next week. Have a great day. Make some magic.
