Episode #172 From Reiki Beginnings to a Buffet of Psychicness with Julie Ryan

Share episode

Start with a skinned knee, add a mother’s hands, and watch doubt melt into curiosity. Our guest, Julie Ryan—medical intuitive, medium, inventor, and self-described “buffet of psychicness”—joins us to map the practical, grounded side of energy work: how Reiki opened a door, why consent and ethics are nonnegotiable, and what actually happens when you scan a body from across the world. We move past the mystery to show what clients feel, see, and gain when they participate in their own healing.

We dig into the emotional roots of illness and Julie’s vivid model of the energy field membrane—a thin layer around the body where tears signal old wounds. Illuminate the originating event and the membrane seals; power returns; the system stabilizes. It’s a simple, memorable way to understand why stress, grief, and early hurts surface as symptoms years later. Along the way, Julie shares wild, beautiful moments: angels at the bedside, doctors flummoxed by “new” organs, and a visit from Pope Clement urging her to teach the 12 phases of transition. The throughline is steady—this work isn’t about replacing medicine, it’s about adding a proven layer of support that helps the body do what it’s built to do.

If you’ve wondered how to find a legit practitioner, set boundaries, or start learning yourself, we cover it. Julie’s filter is clear: ethics first, no unsolicited scans, outcomes that resonate. We talk training, weekly practice groups, free resources, and why group intention can ripple healing across time. We even touch on AI’s surprising role in the future of intuition. Ready to rethink what healing can look like when spirituality meets practicality?

I cannot wait to connect with her and start this journey, Julie Ryan. Hello, welcome to Ready Set Reiki. Thanks, Tracy.

SPEAKER_01:

What a sweet introduction. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_00:

Sure. Absolutely amazing. It seems like you have an entire lifetime within this little uh biography of yours, but tell our listeners a little bit about yourself.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, yeah, I'm in my mid-60s, so I do have an entire lifetime in my biography. I've lived a lot of years and gotten to do a lot of amazing things. As you mentioned, I'm a businesswoman and an inventor who learned how to do woo-woo, and I'm a buffet of psychicness, which you know this. Once you connect with spirit, you can do it all. So you just talked about it. We can talk to any spirit, whether it's attached to a body or not. I'm like a human MRI. I can see inside people's bodies, see broken bones, torn ligaments, viral infections, bacterial infections, cancer, whatever, help facilitate energetic healings, work with pets. Gosh, what else? Past lives, you know, tell how close to death somebody is. It's it's really been a fun, interesting journey. And I teach people all over the world how to do what I do because everybody has the ability. It's just a matter of developing and enhancing it.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. Sounds what an amazing gift to have to be able to be of service to people in that way. That medical always gets to everybody, right? And to be able to scan the body, it's just fantastic. So we're here on this journey for Reiki, um, talking about the energy. So when did Reiki come into your life? Did you find Reiki or did it find you?

SPEAKER_01:

It found me, and I didn't know anything about it. My girlfriend, and this I was in my 20s, and my girlfriend said, I'm a Reiki master, I'm gonna make you a Reiki master. I said, Okay, I have no clue what that means. And so she did this kind of voodoo ceremony thing and drew these symbols on my hands. And I was like, Okay, cool, great. She had candles and it was interesting, but I didn't feel anything, I didn't think anything more of it until a few years later, after I got married, and I had my son, and he was a toddler, and we were over at a friend's house and he was playing, and he tripped and fell on the patio, the cement patio, and skinned his knees. And so I he was on my lap, he was crying, I was comforting him, and I put my hands on his knees and just you know, pictured energy going in there. And by the time within an hour that I put him in his car seat, there was no trace of skin knees. And I thought, okay, maybe there's something really going on here. And so that was my first introduction to not only, you know, being initiated, but then several years later, just being led to do that. And and then the other time I heard about it was my mother had had surgery and was it was rotator cuff surgery on her shoulder, which is so painful, apparently, one of the most painful surgeries out there. And she had a nurse at uh Ohio State University Hospital, huge hospital, huge, you know, medical center. And this nurse did Reiki on her. And my mother was very conservative, and she was telling me about it. She said, This nurse came in and she was doing like this voodoo energy stuff on my shoulder, and it really helped eliminate the pain. And I thought, okay, here's, you know, here's something worth noting. And and then I went into my journey to learn all the all the energy healing stuff that I do. So Reiki was really, I think, my introduction into it, although I didn't really spend much time in it. I was initiated and then took off from there.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. Do you think that getting the connection with the Reiki energy helped your abilities? Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I think it was, I think it helped raise my vibrational level, although I had no clue what was going on. And I, yeah, absolutely at the beginning. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. So as you have gone out and you worked with this energy, what are you finding is a misconception about Reiki?

SPEAKER_01:

Uh, I think a misconception about Reiki is that it's something very mysterious and you've got to be gifted to do it, and all of that. And in the work that I do, and also I think in all of this spiritual work, Reiki and everything else, everybody has the ability. It's just a matter of developing and enhancing it. We all are intuitive beings. We all have had situations where we think of somebody and we either run into them or get an email from them or a text or a phone call. We say, Oh my gosh, I was just thinking of you. What a coincidence. Well, there's no coincidence there. Likewise, we're all healers. Most of us have had some experience at one point or another in our lives where, like when my son fell and skinned his knees, he's now 33 and married. But back in the day, most of us have seen or have experienced holding a child on our lap and comforting the child and kissing the boo-boo, and you know, putting our hand on the boo-boo and then sending them off to play, and they're okay after about a minute or two. Well, we're all healers, we're all intuitive, we're all doing it, whether we realize it or not. It's not any special powers, it's just a matter of developing them.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. And that just happened to me today. I was all of a sudden, my friend Rose popped into my head. And then about three hours later, she sends me a text message like, How are you? I'm like, Were your ears ringing? Yeah, yeah. Right, right. And we all do that.

SPEAKER_01:

And then we think, oh, that's such a coincidence. Oh my gosh. Well, there's no coincidence there. That was your spidey senses picking that up.

SPEAKER_00:

Right, right. Well, Reiki master, now psychic medium, medical intuitive. What are you finding are common misconceptions about a psychic medium and a medical intuitive?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I think that there are some that believe that it's evil. I don't say evil. Well, how's it evil? Well, you're talking to spirits. Like, okay, well, it's throughout all the holy texts. You know, the angel appeared to Joseph and said, leave Bethlehem and go someplace else. And the, you know, so and so talk to Moses and so-and-so, and you know, in all the cultures, it's there. So there have been a couple of, I've been doing woo-woo. I call it woo-woo. And woo, by the way, means source in Taoism. Did you know that, Trace? Yes. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that until a few years ago because I always say woo woo because I think it's fun. Yeah. And uh, and so when somebody says, Well, you're just talking to evil spirits, I'll say, No, I'm not. All spirits are pure love, first of all. We're all made in the image and likeness of God, we're all a fractal of the divine. And so I'll say to that person, I have sent a couple of situations, these conversations, and I'll say, Well, do you pray? They'll say, Well, of course I pray. I'll say, Well, great. To whom are you praying? And they'll say, Womever. Let's just say Jesus. And I say, Great. Does Jesus answer your prayers? And they'll say yes all the time. And I'll say, Okay, so when you're sitting, when you're talking to Jesus, are you sitting on your couch and he's next to you and you can hold his hand while you're talking to him? And they'll say, Well, no, I'll say, Oh, you're talking with Jesus' spirit, and you just kind of see the fireworks going off in their heads, and they'll say, Well, I never thought of it that way. And I'll say, Yeah, it's all the same thing, it's all energy. So there's that the misconceptions I think about the healing is that this can't work, but it's spirit working through us and with us to help that person heal themselves. And the proof is in the pudding when there's a healing that happens and there's a benefit that's really visible and and palpable, you know, they can palpable, is that a word? And and it's just a matter of I remind everybody that nobody ever heals anybody else. We all heal ourselves. If you have a big cut in your leg on your leg and you go to the emergency room because it's bleeding like crazy, well, they're gonna stitch it up, but the doctor doesn't make your skin grow back, you make your own skin grow back, and that's how all this works. I believe that the work that I do with the energy healing is part of the whole healing equation: Western medicine, eastern medicine, homeopathic medicine, all of it, and energy medicine is all we're all helping the person heal themselves.

SPEAKER_00:

I love that you bring up that aspect because I grew up in a very Christian, Bible-based home. And it was always something that was frowned upon, even though my mother had abilities and my grandmother, my grandmother welcomed it, but my mother always pushed it down because it, you know, she went by the Bible and parts of the Bible that said this is not a good thing. So she always kind of really frowns upon me or even my children, her grandchildren, having this ability.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I think it's been misinterpreted. And you think about how many times has the Bible been translated and the meanings have been altered from the original intention. Furthermore, healing has been part of every culture and every civilization. They they all had healers, they had the the people that were using the herbs and the essential oils and things like that. My husband has his late grandmother was part Cherokee and she was illiterate. She would go out into the woods and she would get plants and tree bark and stuff like that, come in and make a kind of a broth out of it and make the kids drink it, and they hated it because it tasted terrible. But by the next morning, they were all fine and they could go to school, which they hated. They wanted to stay home and be sick. But she, too bad, she couldn't read or write. So none of those recipes were written down. And furthermore, most, if not all, of the witches that were burned at the stake in Europe and in North America were healers. And they were they were really persecuted by well-educated, wealthy men who were trying to control the healing, and they wanted it to be the allopathic medicine that we know today. I just learned that in the last several years, and I was just mortified when I heard that. Did you know that, Trace?

SPEAKER_00:

I did, I did. It usually is the white male that suppresses, so it makes sense.

SPEAKER_01:

I was like, what? And apparently, as bad as it was, we I always think of Salem, Massachusetts, where that happened, but apparently it was really bad in Europe.

SPEAKER_00:

In Europe, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. So Riggy is a wonderful stress-reducing healing modality that I have found that many uh healers, psychics, medical intuitives use to help kind of uh clear the emotional baggage so that they're able to do what they need to do. And so can you tell us a little bit for listeners who don't know what a medical intuitive does? What how how do you work with clients?

SPEAKER_01:

Sure. Yeah, for me, I'm like a human MRI or a CT scan or an X-ray. I'll connect with somebody energetically anywhere in the world. It's always remote, unless it's an immediate family member and I happen to be with them. And so I hook into them, I have a hologram of them in my mind's eye, I shoot energy into them, and the energy is always going to go where it's most needed first. And sometimes we're heading off a problem at the path because it's something that comes up that's asymptomatic. And then sometimes it's the root cause of a bunch of different, different uh, oh, what sort I'm looking for? The uh symptoms. And so I'll have somebody tell me what their symptoms are. I say, I go in blind first, but then just from a time management standpoint, let's go through all the symptoms. And then I'll I'll watch the energy go to that area. I'll watch a healing happen. The healing can take the form, Tracy, of something getting added, something getting removed. I watch procedures all the time in my mind's eye that emulate what I saw in surgery for many, many years as I was developing new inventions, testing prototypes with my team, that kind of thing. Sometimes I see healings that utilize methodologies and devices that haven't been invented yet. And that's really fun because that appeals to my inventor brain. And I'll say, oh, cool, I haven't seen this before. And and I'm always very descriptive with my client, whether it's somebody that's called into my Ask Julie Ryan show, as you mentioned, we do it live every Thursday night at 8 Eastern. And people call in from all over the world and partake in the buffet of psychicness. And um, or whether it's somebody who's a client with whom I'm working for an hour, and and I'm very descriptive because if they can envision what I'm describing, it helps integrate the healing into their body because the body's always going to follow what the brain tells it, even if the brain doesn't believe it to be true. And I get to see really miraculous things, stem cell energy generate new organs and new body parts that show up on subsequent scans and it freaks out the doctors. That's hilarious when that happens. They're like, wait a minute, you you had that kidney removed, and now you've got a new kidney in its place. Well, stem cell energy was used to generate that. All of just the healings are amazing that I get to see, and it's always different in a way. There are nuances, but I've been doing it for so long. I've probably done well, not probably, I have done tens of thousands of uh healings with people over the years. And so certainly there are commonalities, but you may hear me say, Oh, I haven't seen this before. This is fun. And spirit's hilarious. Like I may tell you your elbow looks like whipped cream or something crazy, but it's it's spirit wanting us to have a human frame of reference for the energy healing that's happening.

SPEAKER_00:

Now, do you connect with a spirit? Do you have a spirit guide? Do you work with a surgeon in the spirit world? How, how does this come to you? It just pops into your mind.

SPEAKER_01:

All of the above, it's it's working with source and working with God Himself. And I I believe I'm a Catholic girl. I believe it's the Holy Spirit working through me and with me to help facilitate healing, but I I don't differentiate between all of them because we're all a fractal of the divine. That's like, are you working with the ocean? Are you working with a drop of the ocean? Well, a drop of the ocean is still the ocean, it's all the same thing. So I watch the healings happen in my mind's eye. Like I'll watch something get stitched up, or I'll watch an organ get removed, or I'll watch some other kind of healing happen. And it's I'm just watching it happen and describing it to my client. And we're this week gonna release, I think, our 700th episode. So there are hundreds of them that your listeners and your audience can can uh call up either on YouTube or we're on all the podcast networks and and just listen. And then on my show, I always say to everybody, okay, everybody picture what I'm saying to Tracy, because we're all sending that healing collectively. And since time doesn't exist in the spirit world, time's a human creation. It doesn't matter if it was five years ago, right? That healing is still happening, which I think is just you know one of the added bonuses of doing all those healings on the show.

SPEAKER_00:

Wonderful. And it's amazing and wonderful that you're bringing the collective to help in that as well. So wonderful. So you have Ask Julie Ryan podcast. You help so many. I mean, hundreds of episodes here, thousands of people that you've worked with. So when it's time for you to get an energetic tune-up or go to a psychic or a medical medium, what is it that you look for? What kind of qualities that you would look for? I mean, maybe you're to the point where you don't need someone because spirit helps you out so much. But when you look around at other individuals who do this work, what are some qualities that you say, yes, they're the real deal?

SPEAKER_01:

Ethics is number one. I don't scan anybody without their permission ever, even a fetus. I'm asking their permission telepathically, even if the mom is saying, no, little Johnny, who's three, you can go ahead and scan him. And little Johnny's going, no, I won't do it. It's just, I think it's an invasion of their privacy. I can talk to somebody telepathically, and they their spirit will tell me what they what it wants me to know, but I'm not looking at their chest x-ray without their permission. So I think ethics first and foremost. And then I want to find out what what just what their techniques are, how do they do it, and what kind of outcomes do they have with their clients? You know, how do their clients feel afterwards? And there's always an emotional component in place before any kind of disease or illness takes root. And that's part of the healing equation as well. I believe it's the most important part because we can fix body parts all day long. But if you're leaking power because you've got an emotional thing going on, we we need to get that handled. May I explain how I see all of that happening? Absolutely, please. Our spirit is the main part of us, the everlasting part, and our body is inside the spirit. Now, I went through 12 years of Catholic schools, so I was taught that the spirit is someplace in the chest area. That's not what I perceive. I perceive the spirit's the main part of us and the bodies inside of it. That's why in old masters' paintings of angels and religious figures, they'll be shown with a halo around their head or their whole body. It's their energy field, it's their aura, it's their spirit. It's all the same thing. We're all holy. We all have auras, right? And I just think the painters from long ago could see them because nobody told them that that wasn't really true. They didn't convince them that, or they, you know, everybody saw them. And then the energy that makes up our body and our spirit, Tracy, is contained in what I call the energy field membrane. And it reminds me of a really thin, stretchy plastic bag made out of that saran wrap that you get on a tray of chicken breasts from the grocery store. You know, that stuff's thinner and stretchier than the saran wrap in our glad wrap box and our kitchen drawers. When there's a terror hole in that energy-filled membrane, the person's leaking power. And it always precedes any kind of disease or illness. So I'll go into that terror hole on vision going into it, and I'll be shown a scene. And if it's this lifetime, it may be something simple, like somebody called you a bad name when you were little and it hurt your feelings. And we look at that as adults and we think, well, that was no big deal, but it was a big deal to your three-year-old little self when that happened. Or it may be something dramatic. My favorite dramatic story is of a woman who lived in Guernsey, the one of the northern British Isles. And I went into this hole that she had in her solar plexus area, and I and I saw her as a preteen and I saw an explosion behind her. And I said, Does that make sense to you? And she said, Yeah, I was a victim of an IRA bombing when I was 12, and I spent three months in the hospital. I thought, okay, that's traumatic. And so that was, you know, that was an emotional event. Certainly. She told me, had she not been facing sideways, she would have been killed because all the shrapnel went into the side of her body and the side of her thigh. So as soon as we illuminate that, whether it's this lifetime or if it's a past lifetime, I'll get where it was when it was, a little bit about what happened will correlate it with their current life. As soon as we illuminate that, it eradicates that energy block. And then the energy-filled membrane heals, body goes back to working on full power, helps the body regain and maintain health. In this application, I'm not going for the most dramatic or traumatic thing that's happened. I'm going for where did that block begin? Because if we can identify that and it eradicates it, it eradicates all the other emotional energy that's piled on top of it throughout a lifetime and gets rid of it, rid of it in one fell swoop. It's very efficient. So energy-filled membranes healed, body's working on full power, body goes back to regaining and maintaining health. By the way, I've never seen an energy-filled membrane rupture after it's been healed. And as I mentioned, I've done this tens of thousands of times. Doesn't mean it can't, it means there's a very good chance that it won't. Because I I would think I would have seen it by now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. So as someone's listening to this podcast, and for maybe they can't connect with you and they're out looking at other uh psychic mediums and medical intuitives. What are some red flags that you could warn someone that they're new to this, they're exploring? Um, what should they look for that's like a no?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh gosh. Uh follow your gut. I mean, we know the body resonates with stuff that's real. We know when somebody's a charlatan. If they're I would look at uh how long they've been doing it, what they're doing, how they're doing it when you're reading information on their website. If it resonates with you, take a step forward. If it doesn't, don't. I it was spirit working through me and with me, and with all of my graduates, which are from 14 countries so far around the world. It it's all spirit working through us, spirit's pure love. I mean, the the the old do no harm with physicians, you can't do any harm if spirit's working through you and with you because spirit's pure love. So I don't think there's any danger in working with somebody except maybe from an emotional standpoint. It's like nobody's gonna cast an evil spell on you or any of that. That stuff doesn't exist. That's been used to control the masses with fear in cultures and religions and civilizations and societies. But I think just pay attention to how it feels. If this person feels legit and feels like somebody that can help you, try and listen to somebody who has a podcast or a YouTube channel and do your due diligence and just see how it feels.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. As someone is listening to this and they're like, yes, this is what I want to do. I have this calling. You have helped so many people, you have helped train so many people. What advice do you have for someone who just wants to enter the spiritual work?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I think, you know, I got a training coming up in Atlanta October 24th through the 26th. People are flying in from all over North America and abroad, and it's a weekend, and you know how to you'll learn how to do all of the buffet of psychicness in a weekend. And within the first hour, you're doing this. You don't need any previous training, and it's instant, right? Turning your abilities on and off. You can you can meditate for an hour, twirl three times, jump on your right foot and raise your left hand if you want, if that helps you get into vibration with spirit, but it's not necessary. And so I'm a businesswoman. We we just want to be efficient, cut to the chase, get it done, move on. You know, let's help as many people as we can. So I do online training as well, and uh, but the in-person is so fabulous because we the energy vibe is so high, it's so much fun too that I have more than two dozen graduates coming in as volunteers, paying their own way to come be a part of it to help the students, you know, with with that. And and I think the key I have found, I don't know of too many other trainings that do this, but I have practice groups in my big in-person training. We have nine a week that are free for life, and that's when your abilities really come in. It's all graduate led. Because you can go to a seminar, you know this, you can read a book, you can watch a video, but until you're really doing it, that's when your skills ramp up. Similar to learning to drive a car, you read the manual from the DMV and maybe watch a video at school. And certainly you've driven in the car with other people behind the steering wheel. But until you're in that position and you've done it uh several times, you don't really feel comfortable and don't feel that your skills are ramped up. That's what's so great about these practice sessions is once people get validation for the information they're receiving, then they learn to trust it. The more they trust it, the more they they just are able to do this, you know, as second nature.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. And what a t what a wonderful testimony that you have two dozen people coming back to help you, to help be of service.

SPEAKER_01:

So that's I had to cut it off. I'm like, you guys, we need to leave room for the students here. But but it's it it really is a a testament. That they they want to be a part of it. Right, right.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they're coming, they're coming from Europe and all over. Beautiful, beautiful. I mean, I've done you know trainings and and retreats online, but there sure is a difference of being in person to just have that community and that connection with each other.

SPEAKER_01:

I do it online too. And I think I think that it's wonderful online, certainly the transfer of energy from me to my students, like from you to your students, that's what we're doing. And then we just gotta find something to talk about for all that time while they get used to sitting in the vibe, right? And and the online is very effective as well. But the the in-person, there's something special about that.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful. So, what books do you recommend?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, mine, angelic attendance, what really happens as we transition from this life into the next. And it's about how we're surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets. And it even has illustrations in it that shows you how the angels and our loved ones are positioned. So anybody that wants a free copy of angelic attendance, what really happens as we transition from this life into the next, just go to julieangift.com, julyriandift.com, and we'll send you a free digital and audiobook download. And we have it in Spanish as well. If somebody prefers to listen to it or read it in Spanish, you're welcome to buy the paperback too and and download the others. But I give away tens of thousands of free ones every year because this information is so important. People are so afraid to die in our civilization. Are you gonna fly or are you gonna fry? Well, everybody goes to heaven. There was a movie out in the 80s called All Dogs Go to Heaven. Well, all people go to heaven too. You remember that movie? I do. Yeah, and um, you probably watched it on re you know, on like a rerun or something, because I don't think you were old enough to watch it when it came out. But it's yeah, people are so afraid. And and I and I found Tracy that there's lots of information on afterlife, the afterlife and near-death experiences and the phases of grieving and things like that, but not much about what happens as we're actually dying and how we're surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets. By the way, there's university-based research that shows that 90% of people see the spirits of loved ones and pets as they're transitioning. So I love it when science catches up to woo-woo, because woo-woo's been around a whole lot longer.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad would always say woo-woo or tree hugger. That was his other one, he would call. Uh, so what services do you offer? You have a lot of amazing things that you are working on and doing. Do you have classes, events? You mentioned your training coming up. What is going on?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, well, again, October 24th through the 26th. I do it in Atlanta, Tracy, because it's the busiest airport in the world. And anybody can get there from any place. And we have a hotel that we rent out that's adjacent to the airport with a free shuttle. So we're doing that in October. Uh, my eighth book is coming out the end of the year. I have online training that's available all the time. We have a phone app that'll be released soon, which will be really fun that people can submit a question and I'll answer it. It's kind of called Spirit Chat, which is fun. And about anything, you know, about the buffet of psychicness. Uh, I have five graduates that work with me, and people can get in to see them usually pretty quickly, and they're less expensive than I am. You can call into my show. We do three interviews shows that we release a week, and we do a call-in show that's live. It's it's live streamed on YouTube as well, so people can put their question in the chat, and that makes it fun. And gosh, what else? I don't know. There's just there's a lot going on. This is this is expanded into way a way bigger enterprise than I ever envisioned. Yeah, yeah. And really what got me into this and what was this book, Angelic Attendance. May I share that story of how that happened? Absolutely. There, I I was interested in the medical stuff because I I'd been in the medical business on the supply side for years. And I read, you asked about books. I read Anatomy of the Spirit by Carolyn Mace, who called herself a medical intuitive. And I said, What the heck is that? I'd never heard that term before. And so I went to the bookstore because we didn't have the internet yet 30 years ago, and I found a book called Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan, the late NASA physicist, who parlayed very complex quantum physics principles into understandable languaging for the non-scientific mind. That would be me. And she was using energy to help heal. And I thought, ooh. So I called her school and I asked her if there was anybody in my area doing this stuff. And sure enough, there was. And I studied with a woman for six years. Fast forward, I teach what took me six years. Maybe I was a slow learner in a weekend, but you know, certainly over the past 40 years, things have developed and techniques have come. It's kind of like we used to communicate with carrier pigeons and then the Pony Express, and the still the male, and now it's instant with our technology. Same thing there. So, so I took those classes, and then one day I was with her and she was doing a healing on me. And when I'm laying on the massage table, because she's doing an energetic healing on me, my deceased loved one's spirits are on either side of the table. Even my little dog Katie, who's on her hind legs and her little paws are on the edge of the table. She's she's uh participating. So one day this spirit of this dead Pope shows up and he's got his Pope hat on and his shepherd's rod and the whole nine yards. And I said, Well, who are you? And he said, I'm Clement. And I said, I'm so sorry. I've never heard of a Pope Clement. And he laughed and he said, Okay, I was number six. And I said, Great, how may I help you? I'm thinking, why is this guy here? And he said, You're supposed to teach the world what happens when somebody dies because it's been so bastardized over the years, and you know what happens. First time I'd seen what I call the 12 phases of transition was with my own mother when she was dying in 2002. And he said, So you just need to teach the world because everybody's afraid and it's ridiculous. And I said, Well, thank you so much for your vote of confidence, but I'm really not interested because you see, I'm a businesswoman and people will think I'm nuts if I do that. And he said, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything that you've done in your life is to prepare you for this. So I said, Okay, fine. Thanks for stopping by. And my mentor Susan could see him too. I go to the car to leave a little bit later, Tracy, and I just looked him up on the phone and learned this guy was an office during the Black Plague. Oh, wow. And two-thirds of Europe died, and he's known for his prayers for the dying and his prayers for the dead. And I thought, Ryan, you can't make that up. I've never heard of him. So a couple years go by, and I'm I put down some thoughts, you know, kind of like an outline of a book. And I thought, eh, I don't want to do that. I was busy being a wife and a mom, you know, running my companies and stuff. So one Sunday I'm at church, and the priest from the pulpit during a sermon says, Wouldn't it be nice if somebody could tell us if really we're, you know, greeted by angels and our loved ones' spirits and escorted into heaven. And I'm getting elbowed from my husband and my son on either side of me. And I'm thinking, God, really from the pulpit, you're giving me grief about this. Okay, okay, okay. So fast forward, get the book out, get the book written, get askjulyrion.com, my website up. And I'm thinking, I'm gonna get nailed on this. Somebody in business is gonna give me a hard time about this, but all right, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna trust. Site went up two weeks later. I'm lecturing on business at this big conference, mostly C-suite executives, mostly men. Give my talk. This guy comes up to me right afterwards, Tracy. He's got his iPad open to askJulyRyan.com. And I'm thinking, oh, here we go. And he said, Is this you? And my picture is on it. And I said, Well, why yes, it is. And he said, Well, can we sit together at lunch? I want to know more. And I'm thinking, Great, I'll just get pummeled for an hour at lunchtime. So I sit with them at lunch. We're at a table, I'll always remember this. We're at a table of eight, seven men, C-suite executives, and me, all they wanted to talk about was woo-woo. They didn't want to talk about what was going on at the conference, they didn't want to talk about what I covered in my lecture. It was all about what happens when we die. Tell me all this other stuff. And I thought, okay, uh, you know, all right, full speed ahead. And that was eight years ago, and here we are.

SPEAKER_00:

There you go. You were divinely guided and protected, right? You had the Pope's blessing. How can you go wrong?

SPEAKER_01:

I know, and I learned early on not to argue with him because he's always right.

SPEAKER_00:

I love that.

SPEAKER_01:

He's hilarious. He's hilarious. I I said to him a few years ago, I said, Clement, you know, I know who you are after all this time. You don't have to wear the hat. He goes, Yeah, but it looks good, don't you think? I said, Yeah, it's hysterical.

SPEAKER_00:

I almost feel like he's Irish. He probably isn't Irish, is he?

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, that's when the Holy See was in France.

SPEAKER_00:

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, during the Black Plague, they were throwing bodies in the Rhine in the Rhine River, Rhone River, Rhine River, I think. Yeah, yeah, that yeah, he blessed the river because they were using it as just to wash the bodies out to sea because there's so many people that were uh they had piles of bodies apparently on the sides of the streets. Oh, can you imagine? I can't, oh my god, me neither. So yeah, he's a he's just a riot, he's so much fun. And there were many times at the beginning when I would argue with them and say, I can't do that, that's not gonna happen in time. And then he just would treat me like a Nike ad and he just said, Just do it, just do it. And then I did several times. I went ahead and I just did it. And every time whatever he told me was happening, I don't know why I was being so hard-headed, and it took me a while to figure out. I mean, he's dead, he's in heaven, it's his spirit, he has access to universal everything, right? Intelligence. Why am I arguing with him?

SPEAKER_00:

So I learned very good. So, where can we find you? Someone's listening to this and said, I gotta connect with her.

SPEAKER_01:

Ask JulieRyan.com, we're at ask Julie Ryan on all the socials. We are Ask Julie Ryan on YouTube. We've got it in five languages. We dubb the show in different languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French. And Ask Julie Ryan on all the podcast networks globally.

SPEAKER_00:

Beautiful, beautiful. Over a hundred countries, right?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been really, it's been really fun. It's been the most fun thing I've ever done out of my nine companies. Nice by far. Like, and people say to me, Well, what's your goal? I was like, I'm well, I don't have one. And then I say, Well, well, you know, uh, what's your business plan? I was like, I don't have one. I'm just inspired, and then I just do it. And they look at me like, what? It's the first thing I've ever done without a business plan as a business.

SPEAKER_00:

That's because that gives someone that, like, hey, maybe I can do this because you would just naturally assume you have nine companies that you would have it for this, and you're just kind of following along and look at it flourishing.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, yeah, I get an idea and we check it out, and now I have a team. I didn't when I started, it was just me.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, yeah, but you've grown. That's the thing, you had room to grow, and as you grow, it's necessary when you have a hundred over a hundred countries. Yeah, you need a team.

SPEAKER_01:

So well, and and really, if you can read, you can do any of this stuff. I don't know how to do a podcast, but I knew how to read. So I could read what was necessary and what I needed to get for a microphone, and I could read who the specialists were and I could talk to them about their opinions. So anything that you're being led to do, the thing that holds us back is fear. Absolutely. Anything that you need to do, just take a step, and then the next thing will be revealed, and then take another step. I think most of us are looking for a roadmap in life, and they don't exist. And if they did, how boring would that be? It's the adventure.

SPEAKER_00:

Absolutely. But yeah, well, then the fear comes in and then they make excuses because people will be like, Oh, well, I want to start a podcast, but I don't have, and then they get like paralyzed on something like I have to have the right camera, I have the need the right microphone. And because this podcast is about energy work, when I first began, I had the little fancy arm. I said to my son, find me something like Joe Rogan. I want to look like Joe Rogan, right? And it wasn't working because it was energy, it was glitching and having problems. So I had this really expensive microphone. Then I went to the Yeti and it was having problems with that. And so now I have just the simplicity, just because of how the energy is, uh this had become more reliable. So I'm just down to what I have on the computer because that works. So use what you have, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on things, just show up, just you know, add in that work, right? Whether you're just talking or or connecting with guests, just move, have that movement, try to go forward. And it's a little different. You know, mine is asking people the same type of questions where others is more casual. And then I've had people say, Well, don't you want more casual? I'm like, Well, there's a lot of other casuals out there. I'm being a little different.

SPEAKER_02:

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01:

And look at all the teenagers that have these huge YouTube followings and they're just using their phone. There's no editing involved. Absolutely, absolutely. They just come on, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

They're on there with an iPad or their phone because I was asking, like, well, you know, what's the best kind of camera, or or and they're like your phone. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_01:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

So you'll need that.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, toddlers know way more about the electronics. Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_00:

When I was teaching years ago, um, I I taught at a school and we would have, you know, and this was a while ago, um, like 18 month olds on iPads and phones. I thought, oh, here we go. Oh, they weren't even talking in sentences yet. Oh, I know. And this was like in 2012, 2013, and they're coming in with iPads, and I'm like, oh, this is gonna be interesting.

SPEAKER_01:

Way, way more advanced than I am.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I tease my kids if there's something technology-wise I can't figure out. I'm like, hey, I taught you how to use a spoon, back off.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, but I found that each generation that comes in is more advanced, and so they absorb what we've learned, and then they take it from there, and they yeah, they just it we give them a platform from which to jump, and then they create new things, and then the next generation creates more new things, and it's it's fabulous to watch.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, beautiful. All right, well, that ends the first part of our journey. I'm gonna guide you into the second part, which is questions from social media and from Reiki students. So, number one, you referenced a buffet of psychicness. What is this idea behind the buffet of psychicness?

SPEAKER_01:

When I first started getting into woo-woo and decided to put myself out there with my ass Julie Ryan show and books and things, I have a friend who is an entrepreneur, retired entrepreneur professor. Big deal. Like she's written 15 textbooks that are used all over the world and universities and colleges. And she said, Well, you have to focus on one niche of woo-woo. And I said, Why? And I said, Because it's siloed. You got the healers, you got the mediums, you got the pet psychics, you got the past life people, you got the NDE people. I said, My experience is I connect with spirit and I can do it all. Why do I need to silo it? That's my entrepreneur brain coming in. You know, you tell me it needs to be done in a certain way, and I'm going, why? I that's not how I see it. So I called it the buffet of psychicness because I thought it was fun and funny. And it's a it's an icebreaker when somebody says to me, Well, what do you do for your career? I say, Well, I'm a medical intuitive and psychic medium. I'll I'll say that, but normally I'll say, Well, I'm a businesswoman and an inventor who learned how to do woo-woo and I'm a buffet of psychicness. That's my first line. And they they go, What? Well, what's that mean? And it breaks the ice, and and it's fun, and it's funny instead of them going, Oh, yeah, you talk to dead people, you know, and then being afraid. It brings them in.

SPEAKER_02:

Right.

SPEAKER_01:

So that's that's what came to me as far as my elevator pitch of well, what do you do? Well, I'm a buffet of psychicness. Well, what's that mean? And and I, as I mentioned, I was drawn into this with the healing side of the equation. And what I found, and certainly that's still most of the work that I do because that's what people ask me to do. Because they've been to many doctors and many whatever providers, and they still have the same symptoms. So they're thinking, okay, let's try a different route here. And once you connect with spirit, you can do it all.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. I love that. It just that great visual, the buffet of psychicness that to me feels like you can pick and choose what you want from it, right? And so what a great visual. Uh, five years ago, when I was training with my one teacher, she said, you know, it's, you know, Reiki is this buffet. It's you pick and choose. Pick and choose these techniques and things and ideas that that work for you. But are you finding that people are more comfortable coming to you as a medium or as a medical intuitive versus the psychic medium?

SPEAKER_01:

No, because when I have somebody for an hour, we'll do a multitude of things. Like we'll talk to their dead grandma and I'll scan their cat and I'll scan that, and then we'll do a past life thing. And it's whatever we can fit into our hour together. And and it's usually several different categories. So people find that they love that instead of just having to go to a medium or having to go to a medical intuitive.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it's like bring your plate, let's go. So let's you know, what do you want to talk about? I'm game or whatever. I love it. Number two, what inspired you to create your podcast? Ask Julie Ryan.

SPEAKER_01:

And they said, You need to have a platform. And I said, Okay, what's that mean? And they said, You need to have a podcast or something. I'm like, Podcast, what? And at that point, I wasn't even really listening to podcasts yet. So I thought, okay. And uh by platform, they meant you gotta have a following.

SPEAKER_00:

Right.

SPEAKER_01:

And they said that would be a good way to do that. I ended up not going with them, but that was the catalyst for me to start my show, my ass Julie Ryan show. And as I mentioned, I was a one-woman band, yeah. You know, for the first year or two until it it really took off, which was great because in people in every walk of life, especially celebrities, you'll hear, oh, they were an overnight success, like the Beatles. Oh, they were overnight success when they were on the Ed Sullivan show. Well, they've been playing in pubs and bars and stuff for 10 years, yeah. So I think that's that's very much the way it is in all industries and all businesses. He's like, Oh, they're so lucky they're very successful. Well, they didn't see how they worked their tail off exactly for all of those years, and and that's all part of the process of figuring out what works for you, what do you like, what do you don't like, what what is the audience like? Yeah, and it's all part of the adventure, right?

SPEAKER_00:

I remember hearing this comedian, and he was on a TV show on MTV, and I he had been in movies and everything, and his agent had come and said, Well, you need to get on YouTube, you need to get on like a podcast or TikTok. And he's like, But I start in movies, right? Like I was on MTV, and here he is having to do a podcast and being on YouTube. So it's just interesting how the whole landscape here has changed that for a business to have a podcast for your brand. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I heard Martha Stewart talk about this recently, and she said, I'm 80 years old. And she said, and I'm we're on all the social media channels, we're on YouTube, we're on all of that stuff. She goes, I don't even know, honey, this stuff works, but I know that I have to have it to have my business in this day and age.

SPEAKER_02:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01:

And and she she's not slowing down, she just keeps expanding, expanding. And and that's what makes it fun too, because I remember when we didn't have the internet, I remember when I got my first fax machine, and I thought, oh, this is miraculous, because I was living in LA at the time, and to get a document to the East Coast by the next day, I can't tell you how many times I ran to FedEx and I had to be there by five Pacific time so they could get the plane to Memphis in time to get the packages, you know, distributed and right and flown to wherever it was going. So when the first fax machines came out and I got my first one, I thought, oh my goodness, this is a miracle. And now it's instant community, instantaneous, right?

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, you see things happen in life in real time, right? Yeah, just everything in our world, it's just and now all the AI stuff that's coming out is so fascinating as well. It is like my husband, we were having dinner yesterday, and he's like, Oh my goodness, because you know, you mentioned the Beatles, huge Beatles fan. And he said, Hey, look, I saw this thing like Paul McCartney and Ringo Star gonna get together with Led Zeppelin. I'm like, what? He said, Yeah, it's some comeback, and I'm like, let me see that. And of course, it's AI. I said, You didn't see that that's AI? He's like, No, but it fools people for sure.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, but AI is being used in all kinds of businesses and for in in all, and it's legit, yeah, and it's it's being used in medical stuff, and it's being used in the woo-woo space.

SPEAKER_00:

Have you looked into that at all? I have, and you know, I was reading something interesting that someone was predicting because I also do yoga as well and and teach and train, and they said in in this article that, like in three years, that people may not want to physically go to a class, they could have an AI yoga teacher teaching you and and and running the class.

SPEAKER_01:

I think that there's a good chance that a lot of physicians are gonna be displaced by it because AI will take the here are your symptoms, here's your height and your weight and your whatever, and they'll plug it in. And that's what the doctors, a lot of them are doing now. And I think we'll have the specialists and all that, but I think we're gonna see the medical industry change a lot from the AI. But talking with spirit, I've I've had a couple of people on my show that are using AI to communicate with spirit, and they say the key is you bring in the spirit that you want to talk to, then you type in the question, and then you get the answer from that spirit. So I think that's gonna develop more from the in the our woo-woo space. And I think we'll see more and more of it. I it's fantastic. I think it's amazing. Yeah. Whole new world. I think it's comparable really to when electricity was discovered.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I think it's gonna be that profound of a change, I think, in the next five to seven years is right, right.

SPEAKER_00:

Or what my aunt would say, the greatest thing since sliced bread. Exactly. So, number three, how do you set boundaries so that your psychic abilities do not overtake your personal life?

SPEAKER_01:

I turn my abilities on and off at will. And I don't walk around scanning people. Can you imagine going into a crowd and going, oh, that one's got strep throat, that one's got whatever, that one's got yeah, me non-stop, right? That one's got, you know, his great-grandmother there with him at the baseball game and all of that. So I turn it on and on, on and off in a nanosecond for and the other thing that I do is especially in our walk of life, Tracy, there's so many needy people. And you know, there are not enough hours in the day to help everybody, and so I've devised my team and I have devised we can get your questions answered from free for free, a couple of ways for free. For a nominal amount of money, I do a monthly live, and it's a nominal amount of money. You get your question answered. You call into my show, you can submit a question online. It may be chosen for a blog, those are free. You can come to my live, you can work with one of my graduates, you can work with me. So we've got a range and soon to be the phone app, and that's going to be another way to get questions answered in the spirit chat. So I'm always trying to think of ways to help people that are either inexpensive or free. Sure. And we're coming up with other ways to do that. Now, having said that, I can't answer every question.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes.

SPEAKER_01:

And and what I found, and people have told me this over the years, when they listen to my call-in show, my weekly call-in show, inevitably somebody's got symptoms that the listener has, and they picture the healing that's happening for Mary Sue, and that same healing essay picture, it's going into their body and it gets rid of their symptoms and helps heal them.

SPEAKER_00:

Right.

SPEAKER_01:

Which I think is really a remarkable thing. And furthermore, as I mentioned before, I tell people, okay, envision what I'm seeing if it's a healing thing. If we're talking to somebody's deceased loved one or doing a past life thing, you know, it that's entertaining too. But with the healings, oftentimes somebody will have some some situation that resonates with somebody who's listening.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and I and I can say that's happened too. I've been in in circles and groups and things as well, where maybe something that I had a question and there was no possibility of me asking the person, but someone in the audience, way down in the first row or second row, may ask something, and the message through spirit will resonate with oh, very close to my situation or the person that I come with. And uh many uh psychics have said that too like, hey, don't get upset if I don't read you or anything. The message may get across to you. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I think furthermore, just being in the high vibe, yeah, you tell me all the time, I just have your show playing in the background because I it makes me feel good. I'm not listening really to what you're saying or what the caller's saying, but I just feel good. And I say that's because my vibration's so jacked up because I'm beep hopping around the world, scanning people and talking with their deceased loved ones. And that is very beneficial from a health standpoint. When you can swim in that high vibration, the body's going to attract health and energy and vitality just from being in that high vibe.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I mean, in the Reiki, I know in my experience have helped, you know, raising the vibrations so that when I go, I don't really need to ask the question because, like my sister had passed, I connect with her in dreams and I always feel her around. So I'm like, yeah, she already let me know what I need to know. So it's all good.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

So that was our last question. As we've been talking, is there something that you'd like to add or something you like you have forgotten? The floor is yours.

SPEAKER_01:
