Welcome to another episode of Dumb Blonde.
Today, I am so excited for this guest,
and not only am I excited, my husband is like fan-girling out
and wants me to call him, just to even say hi to this person,
and I'm just so happy to have you here, baby.
Thank you for having me.
Tyler Henry, Hollywood medium.
I would not have missed this for the world.
I'm so, so thankful.
You are just such a sweet soul.
You have the sweetest like kind of spirit.
It's almost like kind of like you remind me
cause I am obsessed with fairies.
And I consider myself very energy.
You have like such fairy like
energy thank you I just I did twinkle around just so sweet at people very
aggressively he's like I shit gold bitch call me Tinkerbell I love that how are
you doing good I'm so glad to be here it's a beautiful day we got here we're
hanging out outside California your mom is sweet that old ball and chain I is so sweet. That old ball and chain, I love her to pieces,
but she drives me everywhere, including crazy.
Can we talk about that?
So you're almost 30 years old.
Yes.
Why do you not have a driver's license?
You know, I get so many impressions
when I'm on the way to work.
Oh.
And the psychic moments of knowingness
and kind of gets distracting.
And so starting off in its inception,
my mom drove me just out of convenience.
And then I actually had a brain surgery when I was 18.
I had a mini stroke and a brain cyst and surgery.
And so I was told by a doctor to not drive,
but I got the old clear eventually.
And now it's just laziness.
That's amazing.
We're gonna circle back to that though,
because I'd like to always find out my thing
with my podcast is I love to hear people's journeys. I love to hear their stories
I want to know like what who what made you who you are, you know
So let's take it all the way back like are you from LA? So originally from Central, California
Okay, really small agricultural town called Hanford. Okay, and it basically just kind of grew up in this rural environment
I was an only child my parents were married and still are now for over 30-something years.
So.
Oh, we love that for you.
I'm really thankful.
I came from good people and just naturally,
after a premonition of my grandmother's death
when I was 10 years old, it kind of kicked off
what I would later recognize as an ability,
but at that age, I didn't click.
Yeah, do you ever get tired of telling your story
over and over and over again?
I think it's pertinent.
I think it's pertinent for people to get an understanding of what it is that I do.
And I think the history is a big part of it.
Absolutely.
So you had never had any premonitions prior to being 10 years old.
None.
And there were definitely intuitive moments.
I think kids are very intuitive by nature, and they're relentlessly honest.
But this is a little different. As I kind of hit puberty it started evolving into these
moments of just knowingness and I couldn't explain it. I would just say
things and people would say that they were true. When you say you had a
premonition about your grandma's death what exactly happened? So in April of
2006 I basically just woke up one night and had this feeling of like a memory
that hadn't happened yet and it's kind of the only way to describe it.
It was very clear, it was like in my bones.
And when I woke up, I didn't understand it,
but I went to try to explain this feeling to my mom.
And as I did, we literally got the news
that my grandmother had passed.
My dad rang my mom and she picked up the phone.
But I didn't tell my dad for years, you know,
after my mom and I kind of kept this a secret.
And you know, he was very religious and conservative. And so when I was 16, I kind of kept this a secret right and you know he was very religious and conservative and so when I was 16 I
kind of jumped out all those closets at once yeah really so let's circle back
real quick because that's a big age gap 10 to 16 I did hear on another podcast
that you said that you grew up Presbyterian but you would go and kind
of like church shop other denominations, which I found fascinating
that somebody at your age would even consider doing that.
Yeah, I think I've always been a seeker.
I was always looking for a sense of understanding,
I'm trying to find a sense of place in the world.
And I always did have a deep sense of faith.
I found that through my work,
it kind of evolved from a place of faith into trust.
The work allowed me to really have genuine moments
of connection with people where we would have very real
transcendent experiences.
And that kind of helped me find ultimately
what I think I was always looking for.
But yeah, I was going to any church that would take me.
Yeah.
Did you find one that you resonated with the most?
Because I was raised Southern Pentecostal.
Oh, wow.
And I have a religious trauma that you you could not believe I consider myself extremely spiritual
And like you I have visions and stuff like that too
Not on your level though at all. I've never tapped into it either, but you know ever since I was a child
I've always had visions and stuff like that predicted deaths and all that jazz, but I
Just remember as a child. I I always knew that there was something
different, you know? And so at 10 years old, were you able to be like, okay, I'm not like
everybody else here. Sure. You know, I think people's responses to me were really what made
me feel different. You know, at 10 years old, you're just having these organic experiences.
And while they're strange, they're organic. And it's other people who tell you, you know,
oh, that's odd, or that's the devil and at a very early age
I think I had to kind of face my identity because I had people praying for my soul
You know the parents of children at school would hear about what I was doing and there was one instance where a
Lady who later came to me for a reading I might add had a prayer circle for a ten-year-old little boy
Oh, and that was me and and so having to face that resistance was really difficult
But it was a kind of early test into having a thick skin
and being true to who I was.
I couldn't imagine at 10 years old,
having people pray, try to like pray over me and like,
you know, pray the demons out.
Was that traumatic for you?
For sure.
It was something more of hearing through the grapevine
that people in their little groups were talking about me,
and then I'd go to churches
and they eventually showed a clip about necromancy,
which is what they called it.
Isn't that, wasn't it the dead?
Raising the dead, right?
And they conflated it with mediumship
at this youth group I went to,
and they popped a video in about the evils
of spirit communication, and everyone just kinda looked at me.
And I never went back, so it put me through the wringer,
but ultimately I can look back in hindsight
and see that those people were there in that room
seeking a deeper sense of affirmation of a higher power.
And in my work, I'm reminded of that,
just in a different way.
So I don't fault them for their ignorance.
We're all kind of on our own path.
Yeah, so I had cut you off to talk about myself
for a second there, but did you find a denomination
that you resonated with?
Not so much, you know, but it was okay.
I think it was kind of an exposure therapy, right?
You can get out there and you just kind of see
what you believe and I think there's something
really valuable about being open-minded
and trying different things out.
Absolutely, and I always tell everybody,
people are like, you know, do you love Jesus?
And I'm like, I absolutely love Jesus,
but I don't believe that.
And not to get dive into religion or anything like that.
But I just feel like, you know, Jesus was a lot cooler than how they try to put it.
And I don't feel like it was he was a frickin Capricorn.
OK, we're pretty cool characters.
I know you're a Capricorn to Capricorn Aquarius.
I'm January 22nd.
So I'm right on the cusp. But I have a Capricorn rising.
He was what he know he had to have been cool.
You know, and just, I don't feel like it's so cut and dry
and so like heaven or hell.
And I don't think that scaring people
and being fear-based is the way to make people,
you wanna have a place where you tell people that,
where they, what they can and can't do,
but then you expect them to go out and spread love.
Sure, yeah.
I don't understand how that works.
It's very conditional.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think through the messages
of what I've seen in this work,
while I don't claim to have really any of the answers,
it's just kind of a very, very little moments of knowingness.
There really does seem to be something
that transcends belief.
When people come through,
they really seem to recognize that it was about love.
And in hindsight, it was about introspection.
And every soul that I've connected with
in the thousands of readings that I've done
has seemed to come through in almost a state
of self-awareness, in a deeper state of self.
They almost present as more of themselves
than they even could have been here.
And it can be really beautiful.
That's amazing.
So moving on from this 10-year-old who's
exploring different religions, you are growing up.
And does your family stay in the church,
or do you guys kind of take your own path?
They were kind of back and forth.
To be honest, I ended up going to church more than my parents
at a certain point.
So they were kind of, I think, coming
to their own reckoning with religion
and trying to identify what they believed.
Wow. And so even your father was? what they believed. Wow. Even your father?
Even my father.
Wow.
Yeah, and he ended up having his own, you know, frustration with God.
He was, some family members were excommunicated on that side of family back in the day.
So they had their own, you know, trauma around it.
But I think through being true to who I was, I was able to know my dad in a way that I would have never been able to know him.
And there was really something about authenticity there of the courage that that required and the
risk. And in doing so, he and I were able to have a closer relationship. He was able to have a deeper
spirituality. You were put on this earth to help him. Oh, thank you. I really, I think so on some
level. Yeah. Do you believe in soul families? I do. I do. I think the soul, you know, is such a fascinating subject because people often think of it as like a singular thing.
And if we are eternal, if we go on forever, we would have kind of various chapters of that eternal state, right? So the soul kind of becomes in my mind many things.
Yeah, I love that. That's beautiful. The way you explain things is so poetic. I can sit here and listen to you talk for hours.
It's the fairy in me.
Ah, I love it.
Better watch out, I'm gonna fart glitter.
No one's safe.
I love it.
So I know you've told the story before,
but I need you to tell the bully story
because this is like something out of a fucking movie.
Like literally, what I heard you say
and it kind of took my breath away
because I could visualize it.
I'm such a visual person and
Hearing you explain the story just I would love for my listeners to hear the story as well
So when I was in middle school
I was bullied relentlessly and there was an instance where there was this kid who used to beat me up pretty regularly
He and a number of his friends had watched me go into the school bathroom
Alone and I didn't realize at the time but I was washing my hands my hands were wet
And I heard the door open from behind me and when I looked I realized
he and about three other people came in and as they rushed in they blocked the
door. They were gonna beat up our little Tyler. I didn't know this little homo. You were really gonna take me out?
Like come on, low-hanging crew baby. Did you always know you were gay? I mean I always knew something was going on.
Okay we'll talk about that after the police turn. I I had girlfriends I was I was causing chaos in the middle school
Girlfriends that I was cheating on the girlfriends with the with their boyfriend. Oh, you little play
There was a lot going on playing from the Himalayas. You better watch out. I love that went large. I
Love this. Oh my god. Okay, tell the police story and then we'll get yes. So the bullies they block the door
I'm over here. I'm excited and this weird instinctual thing came me. I don't know if it was a defense mechanism or what,
but I made eye contact with him and as I did, I just said,
your aunt knows that you were crying with your dad last night and you need to leave me alone.
And I just said it point blank.
And as I said this, his friends looked at him, he looked at them,
and I would say, faster than you can say gay.
They were like out of that bathroom. It took off running because his friends didn't know what was going on,
but his aunt had passed and what was
crazy is the night before he'd been crying in his dad's arms about that loss
and it was actually a very humbling moment it scared the crap out of him but
it for me really helped both protect me and years later he reached out and
actually thanked me. Because you taught him probably a lesson there that he was
taking his anger and his hurt out on somebody else. That's very true. That's, it's amazing really fascinating and kind of an interesting moment of growth for both of us. Yeah
Been kind of sweet. That's wild. So did you guys ever tell your dad that you had this gift? So around 16?
I had to start coming out. That's like a closet. My mom was like Tyler. You're scaring students. You're scaring teachers
You know, I was telling teachers about their personal lives, which we covered on my Netflix show, Life After Death,
my math teacher was interviewed,
so you can imagine how that went.
And she told about her experience with me.
My mom said, you know, Tyler, you gotta just,
you gotta tell your dad before he finds out.
So I sat him down one day,
and I basically said something to the effect of like,
Dad, you know, ever since I was little,
I felt different than the other boys,
and I don't really know how to explain it.
And he started looking kinda worried,
oh, it's coming, huh, huh of worried, it's coming, huh?
Are you coming out of the closet now, Tyler?
Exactly.
Then I just said, from what I understand, I'm a medium.
And I didn't even fully understand what that meant
in its entirety.
And now even my definition of medium has evolved.
I used to think of it as somebody who acts as a messenger
for people on the other side.
But I actually have kind of widened that definition
of a medium to being really anybody who psychic phenomenon happens around. I feel like so many people abuse
that title though too. Oh yes. And it's not fair because there are people who are like you that
really just want to do good with their gift. Whereas there are some people, and that's why I
have two women that I have had for years in my life that do, one does my birth chart and the other
one is my, she does like all my rituals on the full moons
and like psychic stuff for me.
And they're all positive, like you.
I love that, I love like the white magic.
I don't love the black magic.
That sort of scares the shit out of me.
Of course.
Yeah, you wanna be affirmative.
Sorry, don't interrupt.
No, no, no, you're fine.
I interrupt you all the time.
So circling back, when you were in junior high school,
you were a little playa from the Himalayas.
That's right.
All the way through high school.
Just on that jungle gym, just taking them out.
I love it.
So when did you realize that you were like,
okay, I don't like girls anymore
because you kept cheating on them?
I had a bunch of bad breakups, which, gee, I wonder why.
Damn it.
You know, middle school, I don't know what was going on.
I had a much closer hairline back then,
so I think it was just, I don't know,
Macaulayley Culkin Riz
Yeah, yeah, yeah your little blondie. Yeah girls love the blondie. They did back then. Yeah, but you know, alas it was not meant to be
So when did you finally just say you know what? I think I'm just gonna date men
You know, I think it was probably around 16 17. I was like, you know what probably felt somewhere in the middle
But I was like, you know, people don't believe bisexuals
So I was like I have to kind of pick one side or the other and unfortunately
Do you still consider yourself bisexual now or technically?
But I love that again, you know, and people tend to kind of put you into one by yeah
You have to be in a box and being in a relationship now with a man for eight years
I think most people like that's that dudes gay. Yeah
I love it. Would you guys ever bring a girl in to mess around with?
He on the Kinsey scale is a little bit further than I am.
Oh, gotcha.
I think he'll do your nails.
I love that.
And what was his name?
Clint.
Clint.
Yes.
Hi, Clint.
We love you.
We wish you were here, Clint.
So moving on, when did the scribbling start?
Yes.
Sorry.
I love it.
How do you like how I segue from the...
It's just completely unhinged, completely unhinged.
So segueing from that, when did you start scribbling?
Cause I know that to channel you scribble, right?
So scribbling kind of has helped me turn on
and turn off psychically when I'm doing the reading.
And it's kind of, its inception started when I was in school
and I was talking to a girlfriend, not a literal one,
but we were talking about homework.
And I was just kind of doodling as you do
when you're on the phone.
And I just found that kind of moments of knowingness
that I'd had previously would kind of pop up.
You know, we'd be talking about homework
and I'd be seeing the conflict
that her dad was having with her mother.
So that ended up actually working as kind of a means
to concentrate, to kind of turn on,
so that when I wasn't scribbling,
I could maintain some degree of normalcy.
But it's really more the repetition of it than anything.
It's more about the process than the product.
Yeah.
Does your gift ever get in the way of you being able
to connect with people
because you always have stuff coming at you?
Like, do you ever have moments of silence silence I definitely carve out time in my life I think for solitude
which I think is so important for anybody and especially people who take
on others energy but um I it's always busy up here yeah there's always does it
ever get in the way of like forming relationships like have you ever like
gotten a bad feeling about somebody and like been able to see visions of
something totally one one benefit I think of intuition which we all have is So have you ever gotten a bad feeling about somebody and been able to see visions of something? Totally.
One benefit, I think, of intuition, which we all have,
is that it really can act as an inner compass.
And when we can refine and kind of finely tune that compass,
it won't lead us astray.
I think so often people are not inclined
to go with their gut feelings.
And that leads to a lot of trouble.
But people get first impressions.
When you meet someone, you will feel a warmth or coldness.
When you shake someone's hand, when you give them a hug, and I think people need to
honor that and go with that because that for me actually if anything has saved me
a lot of trouble. Yeah. You know, I do think there's something to be said about
giving people the benefit of the doubt but equally if someone's really hitting
something on a visceral level be mindful of that and what might be informing that. Crazy. So when did Hollywood start taking an interest in you? Because I feel like
you have been in the limelight forever. Oh my goodness. Well, you know, being an
immortal fairy, we've been here since the 40s. But no, it started for me around
probably 18, most affirmatively in my between 16 and 18 I
basically was just doing readings through word of mouth and as I did that
word of mouth spread into Southern California where people really just more
open-minded in my little agricultural community I mean you had people who were
open but by nature creative people tend to kind of I think believe in destiny
more generally it's very interesting and so Sarah Paulson called me up one day
well from American Horror Story. Wow I love her. My hand was shaking. I was like
sweaty-palmed. I didn't know what to do. I like almost dropped the phone. I was so
nervous. I didn't know she was a key player in any of this. She's amazing. And so she was my first
technically official celebrity reading and she asked if I had a message for
Jessica. I was like Jessica Lang? Did Jessica pass? I did not know. Oh no, she's still with us.
Okay, okay.
It was for her love life.
I was like, God. Her love life has transitioned.
I love her.
Okay, gotcha, gotcha.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thankfully, she's very much still around.
I was like, when did this happen?
I know.
She's an amazing woman too.
Oh, incredible.
Yeah, King Kong.
Yeah.
I don't know.
She was just an icon.
Yeah, yeah.
Always will be.
Literally, just a fucking, so is Sarah Paulson, though, too.
Yeah, oh my God.
To be able to play a role with two heads. Yeah. That's insane. Yeah, literally. just so I can, so is Sarah Paulson, though, too. Oh my god, to be able to play a role with two heads,
that's insane.
Yeah, literally.
That's true.
So when did Hollywood come in besides after that?
So that Sarah Paulson pretty much opened up the door for you?
Just one thing led to another.
Eventually, the E Network was interested
because I was just this little kid, basically,
who came from this little town,
and I had naturally just kind of worked
with some celebrities, and they thought,
okay, if we're gonna do a show with you it has to
be celebrity oriented because we're the E Network right? The land of Kardashians.
Yeah. But they put me through the ringer I had to read like upwards over 20 either
friends or family of various executives and they would test me so they'd bring
me in and they'd say okay you're gonna read three people today and rock and
tell you who they are and you know everyone knew depending on how that went it was whether I got greenlit or not
yeah thankfully I was able to knock it out of the park every time that it was
required. Do you ever get tired of people doubting you? No it's it's fun kind of
to be honest. Really? Yeah I like to know. Now everybody's gonna challenge you Tyler.
When you know that you're real and when you know you've had real experiences
there's a smugness. You're like fucking game on.
Because I know that what I've done is real and other people may not believe it,
but I know that there's more to life than what we see. I affirmatively can say through my experiences
there's more to this world than we can fully understand and I'm thankful through this work to be able to demonstrate it.
I have my own questions. I think it's important to be skeptical, to have doubts,
and that's kind of how the truth rises to the top. That's crazy. I
feel like you're so full of love. There's been a couple times that you've said
things and it just makes me want to cry because you're just so like... Thank you.
Everything you say is just so beautifully said. It's wild. Let's talk
about the Alan Thicke interview. That is crazy that you know he came in as a skeptic
and what happened with that? It's for the people at home who don't know.
That was a hard reading you know he came with his wife Tanya who I've been able
to make a friendship with since and we've been very close but he was a total
skeptic you know he came in and was kind of like laughing and jovial and it
didn't really take it very seriously. Now look on the E-network we read over 200 celebrity clients. Some came in really
enthusiastic genuinely needing something and then there were people who just
wanted to sell their next project and it wasn't that he fell into that second
category but he didn't know what to make of it. So as I connected with him I
brought through a relative of his who had died of a heart condition and this
was a heart condition that I felt very strongly he himself needed to keep in mind of.
And as I relayed this, he kind of laughed it off.
I ended up being sent the unedited clip
of me telling Alan this, and it went on for over two minutes
of me just begging him to go see a doctor for his heart.
He laughed it off, he said, thank you, Dr. Tyler.
And then he tragically passed, for those who know,
about three months later of a heart problem.
Did he never go to the doctor?
Tanya, I'm pretty sure I drug him to,
not drugged him, but dragged him,
dragged him to the doctor to get a checkup.
But it was one of those things where it was like,
what they described as like a widow maker,
where, you know, it's one of those situations
where it would have required further, you know,
kind of insights into being able to determine
like a specialist.
Gosh.
So it was one of those cases where, you know,
as a messenger, it relayed the information but it's difficult when when people at least don't
fully listen. Do you sense any health problems in me? Oh no I feel good. Okay good. I mean stuff
happens but I let me know. Yeah I would I would thousand percent. Oh my goodness. So when did you
meet your boyfriend? Yes well that happened let's see I was 21. Yeah. 28 now and that happened his mom reached out funny enough for reading
way back in the day. Yeah. And he had reached out and it was really weird moment where when I saw his face
I knew without a doubt that that was the person I was supposed to be with.
Aww, you felt the connection. It's kind of cliche.
No, I say that about Jay all the time. Do you? I do. I I tell everybody I'm like it was like our souls recognized each other
Would you describe his love at first sight not love but like?
Familiar yeah, it was literally like familiar because I feel like love is like to really fall in love with somebody
You have to spend time with them. You can fall in lust and be completely infatuated
But I just don't believe that you fall in love with somebody at first
I feel like you can be head over heels infatuated and Twitter-pated, you know
But that's the exact same feeling that I said I had with that's so beautiful
I think on some level the soul sometimes knows yeah
Absolutely, and there's a deep compatibility there. So that's gone on now for seven years. We're gonna get married soon. I wear this ring
It's more
When are you guys getting married? Do you have a date set?
No, we don't have a date set. I was like, should we do Halloween?
Should we do home?
Cause that would be very on brand,
but he's like Tyler, we're not getting married on Halloween.
How does he feel about your psychic abilities?
He treats me just as Tyler the person
versus Tyler the medium, but they're so intersected
that I mean, we're doing paranormal experiments every day.
Like at night we read books to each other,
like two little old men.
We're like night owls.
So he really is so deeply compatible.
But I think what makes us so good together
is he sees me beyond what I have to offer.
And I'm sure you feel the same way.
It's like when someone really sees you.
And this work reflects that everybody wants to be seen,
everybody wants to be validated,
everybody wants to feel understood in some way.
And I'm thankful I get that from my relationship.
Are you always so positive? Do you ever have down moments? Oh all the time yeah
yeah absolutely. Do you suffer from any like depression, anxiety? Well I've been
diagnosed with OCD for probably over a decade now and I do take medication for
it. We're at 20 milligrams Lexapro gang. Yeah you know that's right. So yes
absolutely and I think it for those who relate with anxiety
It can be very difficult with intuition to tell the difference. And so in my own life
It's been a bit of a trial run on how to kind of determine
Yeah, what's intuitive and and what's really just feelings and feelings aren't facts as they say so it's a very interesting dichotomy
That's amazing feelings aren't facts. I need to remember that I suffer from severe anxiety
So I get panic attacks all the time but I've
managed to get them under control in the past year but do you feel like with age
you're being able to be able to decipher what is like a download or what is like
you're really in a serious situation or panic or your body's just in flight or
flight? You know I think it took time for that frontal lobe to develop and I hit
about 25 and one day I woke up
I was like, what the hell am I so worried about?
I don't know what it is, but I just got to a place
where I felt, I guess, oriented.
You know, I was kind of thrown in front of the wolves
at 19 and everyone's opinions and mean things and all that.
And so it took time to kind of understand who I was,
despite what other people thought of who I was.
Does online bullying affect you in any way?
You know, not as much as people probably wish.
Yeah, good.
I love that.
I can genuinely read a comment about myself
that's negative and be like, oh, OK.
Yeah, I'm getting there too.
I've gotten to that point too.
And it's hard.
I mean, of course, you get 99 comments
that one negative one can stand out.
But you get to a place where I think you realize,
and I've used this analogy before,
that you can be the biggest, juiciest peach,
and there's gonna be people who hate peaches.
And it's just part of life.
And I think it's, when you're secure with yourself,
it's okay, you can take differences of belief.
When things become hostile or threatening,
that's a different story.
Yeah, have you ever had anything
that has really
scared the shit out of you like meeting somebody and seeing something or like
you know just something that has just jarred your spirit. Yeah I mean there
there have been several several moments I would say there was one reading I gave
that was really a series of readings with a woman who she had terminal cancer
and a number of my clients I read for free who are kind of near the end of their life and this this lovely lady had married this man
and he was married for the second time his first wife had actually also died of terminal cancer
and she my my client who I'm talking to was alive at the time she was facing terminal cancer herself
and the message there from her husband's ex-wife was, you know, I'm
still here. I guided you into my husband's life to look after him after me.
And it was so sweet, but she always felt that that woman who had passed of
cancer guided her into his life. And then it ended up, my client died on the same
day on the date crossover for his first wife and his second wife. I'm trying to remember now if it was
like birthdays or death dates,
but it was the exact day.
And it's so kind of clearly reflected in hindsight
that there was some divine connection
that they very clearly were both meant
to serve a purpose in his life
and then pass on a date that was significant to both of them.
Oh my goodness.
Coincidences like that you see after a while,
you realize they're almost messages in themselves.
Absolutely.
What do you think happens to us after we die?
Because do you get to see any of that?
It's such a big question.
And I always tell people, you know, I have my own requests and I want to ask, what's
the reason?
Why are we here?
What's the purpose?
And as far as I can tell, when they communicate, they liken it to trying to explain arithmetic
to a squirrel.
And I'm just the squirrel, you know? And so there's kind of limitations in what humans can understand.
But what I can say resoundingly is every person that's came through has acknowledged a continuation of consciousness,
an expansion of consciousness, and more than anything, a deep sense of awareness of the ripple effect,
of how their actions and inactions affected the greater collective. And when people come through we ask the question of are they
at peace? Do they find peace? I think they find peace through the acceptance of how
they lived and how they died. And when they can get to that place, you know,
there is peace, ultimately. Crazy. Do you believe in past lives and do you believe that you've been here like many
lives? You know, I don't have a ton of past life baggage although I certainly think it's
possible and I think that if we look at, as I said earlier, with like an eternal soul,
it's kind of like a book. You'd have chapters in that book just as our own lives have chapters
and just as our kind of eternal nature would have chapters. So whether we call them incarnations or different iterations of self, it all kind of
reflects that consciousness is one big thing kind of experiencing itself.
Crazy. I mean I know it sounds very woo but it's kind of the nature. Do you believe that like
energy transfers? Yeah. Yeah so you don't believe that we ever just die and
disappear like we're not just here to live cuz there's some people like
You know materialists. Yeah, they believe I don't know what a materialist is. What is that? Yeah, it's like a teach me something
Yeah, so there are atheists
Agnostics and there's a lot of atheists are materialists
So they believe in just purely the material that when you die, that's it. It goes black, right?
I feel like that's so hopeless
Some people find it comforting and I will tell, I know it seems weird me saying this
as the devil's advocate here,
but there is something to be said about the idea of comfort
in there not being anything after
for people who may not want to continue living.
I mean, think of how hard life can be, right?
For some people, the idea of eternity seems really stressful,
even though I don't believe it is, you know, by nature.
I think for some people it skaves them out, the not knowing, the ambiguity,'t believe it is, you know, by nature. I think for some people it skaves them out.
The not knowing, the ambiguity, the what ifs, you know,
and then not being able to really orient oneself
in eternity, you know?
And so some people just kind of shut it out by default
because it's uncomfortable.
I don't know, to me it's the opposite.
Like I wanna picture like heavenly clouds,
the pearly gates, and like the streets of gold.
Like that's, you know, I wanna picture that,
that when we leave here, we're going somewhere
to meet up with everybody else that has passed away,
you know, in our life.
Do you see all the members from your family
who have passed away?
Do they try to come and talk to you?
It's kind of funny, not as much.
And like my grandma being the one who kind of kicked off
that first premonition, I very rarely hear from her. So if anything I think it's kind of comforting.
I find it kind of an indication that wherever she is, the essence of her is okay.
She gave you your gift pretty much if you think about it.
It was just kind of like, hey, this is what you're here to do, buddy.
She was a telephone operator in life. She'd connect calls for people.
There's something kind of
Symbolically beautiful about that that at her last gift to me was to connect and try to connect with people. I love that
That's so amazing
All right. Well, let's I had a couple more questions for you. I'm just so fascinated with you
You graduated at 16. I did which is wild to me. Yes. You strike me as like extremely intelligent too.
Oh, you're very sweet. I'm like, selectively intelligent so like I don't drive. I got, I usually have to velcro.
I don't think you have to be intelligent to drive because half the time I'm not even paying attention.
In LA traffic I think that definitely can be the case but no I was like velcroing my shoes up until
age 13 like very much a rain man
Yeah, I was very much intelligent in some respects. Are you and I mean this respectfully. Are you on the spectrum? I honestly
Probably yeah. Yeah, have you ever taken the autism test? I think I have it. I'm like
Autism does some of the autism. Yeah, we're all on the spectrum. I mean we got stimming going on
Yeah, I like you for sure. So for me, I think, you know, it's great to have conversations.
Yeah, I'm surprised they have never tested you for that.
What's so interesting is research being done at Stanford University about
autism's relationship to psychic perceptions, kind of different ways of thinking.
Yeah.
Very fascinating.
And all the creative ways people can be.
No, I just, whenever I heard you say that you had graduated at 16,
I was like, this kid is fucking brilliant, dude.
You're very sweet.
No, I mean, it's your life, it's your testimony.
You're so, so sweet.
I really just, for me, wanted to do as much good
as I could with what I was given.
I didn't come from a lot financially.
My parents are very salt of the earth folks.
They ran a little business in our little town
and I just feel so privileged to be able
to be where I'm at in life. I love love that and I love that you just use this for good and you just try to spread
Goodness everywhere because there is so much the world is lacking so much empathy and so much love and it's like you when
You see you speak. It's always just so full of love. Thank you, Bonnie. It means a lot
I hope that people never get disenchanted with the world. I hope that the work always provides a sense of wonder
for people.
Wondering, what do I believe?
Why are we here?
Anything that I can do to inspire people
to ask further questions around their place in this world
and what they can do about it.
That's my purpose.
Do people just corner you and hammer you
with questions all the time?
Because I would.
Sometimes, oh my goodness.
Tyler, I need to ask you a question.
There was an instance in Ikea back in the day
when I first started and a girl was like,
should I break up with my boyfriend?
And I'm like, did you have a fight last night?
Probably not that psychic, right,
to determine if she's asking,
but I got some impressions and I was like,
oh no, it's not looking hot.
And then I was like, Tyler, don't do that in Ikea.
Oh, I love it though.
I was like, the boyfriend is gonna come find me now.
Oh, did she break up with him?
I don't know, and I never heard back, but I mean,
I would assume.
So I'm very selective with random impressions.
Gotcha, yeah, you've learned to probably bite your tongue
because some people wanna accept it and some people don't.
Totally, I always joke the love life is the hardest area
to give advice on in the 200 celebrities we sat with.
It's emotional.
It is, and people are gonna do what they wanna do anyway.
With their love life, it's like asking for advice. We generally, and people are gonna do what they wanna do anyway. Yeah. With their love life.
It's like asking for advice.
We generally often already know what to do.
We're just looking for, kind of being pulled
in one direction or the other.
Yeah.
But like Amber Rose I sat with,
and I was like, don't date a rapper,
don't date a rapper.
It's not gonna end well, then she goes and dates a rapper.
So it's- Yeah, had a kid with, had two kids.
Right, right, and that is totally personal choice,
but it's just funny when people are like,
tell me what you get, and I'm like,
you're not gonna follow it anyway. Yeah. What do you do for
fun? What does a psychic medium do for fun? Oh my goodness um well you know I
just live a very quiet sedate life with my partner we read books to each other
at night I make stained glass windows. I love stained glass windows. I love to make you one.
Oh my god. Wouldn't that be cool? Yeah. That would be fabulous. I would love that. Do I not? I have stained glass windows. I'd love to make you one sometime. Wouldn't that be cool?
I would love that. I have stained glass windows tattooed on me.
Oh that's amazing.
They're not hard to install.
Oh my god, we're building a new studio for the new Dumb Blonde Studio.
I would love to have you do a stained glass window.
That would be so cool.
I'll pay you for it.
How do you make a stained glass window?
It's a process but not as much as you would think.
You basically buy the glass in advance, it's all colored, pre-colored. you cut it out and then you basically foil it and then you just solder it together.
Do you want me to get you a napkin? You're sweating over here.
Why am I sweating? You know what? Let me get it.
I have a napkin.
Is something coming through? Do we need to talk about it?
Stuff always is coming through.
It's all good. All positive. And we can talk about intuitive stuff too, if you'd like.
Yeah, I would love to. Hammer away.
If anything comes in.
Sorry, my goodness. I have stuff all over the place.
You want some water?
Do you have a pen and paper by chance?
Or like a piece of paper?
Do we have a pen and paper?
I have all this stuff coming in. Yeah, all good.
Now is a good time to
scribble really quickly.
Just see if something pops in.
When I start sweating, it's always education.
You poor baby. That's awesome though, it's always education. Aw, you poor baby.
Oh, it's good though.
That's awesome though,
cause it kind of like warns you like,
hey, incoming.
Exactly.
Literally.
Oh yeah, no, it's very helpful now.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Can we have the book?
And I can, no I can help you.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I don't want to move, sorry about that.
No, you're good, baby.
You go ahead and move it.
Are you sure?
Yeah, you can move it, baby.
So when stuff starts downloading like that and you start getting sweaty does it feel like a panic attack is coming on?
Or how does it feel? Oh perfect!
Oh perfect! Thank you so much! Amazing!
Thank you Mimi! Thank you!
For me! Sorry!
We'll send her telepathic, come back, come back!
Come back, come back!
Does it feel like a panic attack coming on? How does it feel whenever downloads start coming in?
The way I would describe it is it feels like the peripheral
kind of starts going out on some level.
So like, you know, when you just kind of like
go about your day, it almost feels like things
start tuning in in a way that's very visceral,
visual, even.
Yeah, like tunnel vision.
But there's even kind of an internal sensation
of like a fullness, as weird as that sounds.
And it's not indigestion.
I've learned to kind of navigate it and
see what comes in. So I'll just kind of really like really quickly what pops through there.
All right. What an amazing gift. Oh you're so sweet. It's wild. Let's see what pops in there
because mom's side of family hits me much more than dad's side of family which is good to keep in mind and on that side of family this is good to keep
in mind when we talk about their mom side females who passed and then I want
to talk about this character I got this lady I want to bring up let me look and
see this is coming across as funny.
Vanessa, don't start your shit with me, lady.
Give me one sec.
Let me just look here and see.
I love it.
Because I have to talk about a joke of not,
when people refuse oxygen or don't want to use oxygen
because they don't like the way it makes them look,
there's a funniness of this of, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do my own thing.
Don't tell me what to do.
Oh my God. And a funniness that comes through of, I'm gonna live the way I wanna live, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do my own thing. Don't tell me what to do. Oh my God.
And the funniness that comes through of,
I'm gonna live the way I wanna live,
I'm gonna die the way I wanna die.
Oh my gosh.
It's very much that kind of attitude in some capacity,
just good to kind of keep in mind.
Do you know of anything about the oxygen rejection?
Oh yeah, that's my mom.
Okay, we're taking that a step further.
There's an acknowledgement around living family currently.
There's an acknowledgement around some health-related stuff
that's just kind of good to keep in mind.
Family members, current people.
This is good to consider.
Remember that I'm saying this, there's some acknowledgement
around a Frank that comes through.
Just remember that I'm saying that.
There's some significance, usually who they are,
who they're with, or somebody.
But there is an acknowledgement there.
Is your dad still with us?
He is, but he has terminal cancer.
I'm so sorry.
I have to highlight in the way this comes through,
I'm seeing symbology around filtration.
Usually filtration revolves around fluid,
the body's ability to kind of reduce or let go of fluids.
And there's a susceptibility to fluid buildup.
What does come through is kind of interesting
is an acknowledgement of a problem starting lower
and then kind of going gradually higher.
So this is just kind of good to keep in mind
when we talk about overall proclivities to things,
something starting lower, kind of going higher,
or kind of going gradually up.
For him, just really keeping in mind, like, filtration,
the body's ability to get rid of toxins,
keep seeing things building up,
and they usually can be an indication
of organ- related issues.
Largely just keeping in mind for him,
false susceptibilities to injuries like tripping,
falling out of bed, like that kind of thing he pops in.
And just good to keep that in mind.
There's an acknowledgement around, let me look there.
You have some people who are not family who pop through.
What up, homies?
It's probably some of the homies that have passed over.
I think so.
I see some symbology around like marriage, union, joy,
happy for you.
The way I would word this,
just if there's anybody who you feel has passed,
who loved you a hell of a lot,
and maybe could have seen a romantic future,
but it wasn't the right time or the right place.
Just remember that I'm saying this.
Probably my ex Tony.
I think that guy wants you to know how proud of you he is
and that he, when he comes across,
acknowledges an awareness and existence
in your relationship and that you deserved
more than he was able to give at that time.
And that aspect seems to pop in.
There is an acknowledgement around your mom's situation
with this.
This woman doesn't ever stop talking.
Fascinating thing there.
Even in her death, all she does is talk.
It's weird.
Does she have her little,
she was bringing me into this one thing,
she's like, she's got her little domain, her area.
This is my area. Let me figure this out really quick.
Listen, she is a fucking lunatic, Tyler. She's got very, very strong energy. I just
want to figure out what this is because there's one thing that pops in. There's acknowledgement
around like forgiveness. There's a very strong emphasis on an awareness of how you've broken
cycles or that you've been able to put a stop to things. I see my symbol for basically like
a chain coming unlinked and that's always a good
sign but that also in the way this is coming through what is this other thing?
Just remember that I'm saying this there's an acknowledgement around
applying forgiveness, doing your own thing, there's a feeling of you creating
your own family, your own family unit, separate from other family, separate from other biological family, and they're having me acknowledge
it's okay to say no. I keep getting this feeling of a money-related thing of someone expecting or
that it should be owed to me, that I, you have to help me because I am who I am. How dare you not
help me. She's talking about my sister. That situation in the way that this comes across,
there's a weirdness because, and I have to be clear with this like there's an acknowledgement of narcissism
That comes through there and if someone has said that this person is a narcissist
She's a bad way or deals with narcissistic personality disorder
She's a way of kind of trying to like acknowledge that area but more largely than that. It's not even about money
So keep this in mind things that don't even have monetary value, but are just hurtful
there's an aspect there that comes through of
her
Selfishness entitlement like that aspect in the way this comes through though. They show this like
Wiping that up all clean and the way this comes through. It's a way of acknowledging like when we set
boundaries with people abiding by those boundaries
Yeah, and not letting people kind of weasel their way back in some respects.
There's definitely an emphasis on that one.
There are a couple weirder things that pop in with this
related to your mom.
This is just good to keep in mind.
She might send wild animals or strange animals
to your house.
And it's like, but it would be fun.
Tell her send me a possum and a crow.
I love it, I love it.
But there's a funniness around like a petting zoo,
but more like surprise.
And then there is an acknowledgement around
what looks like a big brother thing, but this is weird.
Let me figure out what this is.
I sat with Ross Matthews, I saw like big brother stuff.
Sometimes it can relate to like potential work someday
and being able to bring awareness to fostering,
foster children, helping underprivileged children.
I don't know why, but there is an aspect
of being able to help in a larger capacity
in an institutional way for young underprivileged kids
who are at that transitionary stage
between childhood and adulthood.
So there could be some opportunities there
to kind of further that,
and that looks really, really positive.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're pretty spot on.
With mom's thing, were people,
do you know of people not being able to be there
when mom passed, do you know if anybody?
Yes, nobody was there.
She passed in Nashville with.
Gotcha.
I wasn't with her because I was mad at her.
Do you know by chance... If somebody was not allowed
to a funeral or if somebody was told to kindly like not attend? Yeah my sister
okay. Wicked witch of the West. I'm so sorry. I just need to make it clear in
the way this comes through there's a sense of I see now how things were and
awareness of things much more there than she may have had here and therefore an
accountability for her actions. There's much more there than she may have had here and therefore an accountability
for her actions.
There's an aspect there when she talks about mental health,
she feels like you were hell of a lot stronger
than her in some respects.
It's gonna sound strange, but she's showing me
the inversion of mother and daughter, daughter and mother.
So it's almost like as weird as this sounds,
she was like the daughter's soul
and you were like the mother's soul.
That makes me wanna cry.
And you've always been a stabilizing force in the lives of people around you
but there's a sense of I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you fully
deserved and that comes in. Thank you Tyler. You made me cry. You've handled everything so
beautifully you've been able to alchemize what you've gone through in your trauma and you've been able to not perpetuate that
onto other people. I mean what a gift to be able to have the buck stop at you. Yeah, you know, that's a gift.
I appreciate it. Thank you for all that. That was wild.
Oh, of course. My goodness.
You were very spot-on with my dad. My dad actually has tubes that are in his lungs right now because he can't drain the lungs. My dad literally has days left, you know, maybe
if anything weeks. I've inherited, I always say I've inherited custody of
both of my parents and their deaths. Oh gosh, what a burden. Actually it was, it's their gift to me.
Because I didn't have a relationship with my mom, I didn't meet my mom until I was 36
and then didn't, I saw her for the second time
in my entire life with Jay at one of his concerts
and then I inherited custody over, you know,
like a couple years later, so, and she was in Nashville
for about six months, then she passed away.
You know, I was working through my resentment with her
because she was so childlike.
It used to piss me off so much.
I'd be like, get the fuck up.
You know, in the oxygen thing,
she always fucking had this oxygen tube on
and she drove me fucking crazy.
She didn't appreciate anything I did for her.
But so hearing that just like really warms my heart.
Because I haven't, since she passed,
I haven't, the first week she passed, I haven't,
the first week she passed, I got signs from her
all the time and felt her so much.
And then after that, I haven't really gotten anything
from her, so I was like, oh, she's probably mad at me.
My sister, spot on, as soon as my mom died,
she wanted, she's like, I want what mom left.
And I'm like, she died with her fucking clothes on,
you know, and she came to Nashville, took the outfit off of my mom while she was in the morgue took
her rings off her fingers and like stole from the Airbnb that I had her and like
I could sit here for hours and talk about it but I just wanted to confirm
yeah what you were saying was all 100% dead on is that not crazy crazy. We're all bawling. It's just you know it's a lot there. We could go on for hours.
I truly think when it comes to that I mean it's a testament to your strength and what you've been
able to do with your life and being able to make the better place, the world a better place despite
the darkness that you've had to go through. And in many ways it's
so much more than things, you know? We talk about sometimes death brings out
the worst in people and it can. These references, it's interesting, just kind of
put an emphasis on equity and I'm just gonna say this out. If your sister
like got more preferential treatment or if there was a situation where basically the person who was least deserving
Got a less hard time. There's kind of a way that this comes through of acknowledging sister and like
I feel like a ton got put on you and then there's an acknowledgement of in some ways things not being as hard for her
right and kind of an interesting sense of equity equity equity
in some ways things not being as hard for her. And kind of an interesting sense of equity, equity, equity.
But the way I would word this is like,
I don't feel like mom maybe always would hold sister
to the same standard she would hold you as an adult.
So like if her bar is a lot lower,
it's like we shouldn't expect,
I'm trying to think how to word this.
Yeah, no, I get it.
That's how it is with both my sisters.
It's frustrating in the way this comes through
of you being held to a different standard
than your sibling would be held. Absolutely, yeah. Both my sisters. It's frustrating in the way this comes through of you being held to a different standard than a sibling would be held.
Absolutely, yeah.
Both my sisters got away with murder
and I was like the workhorse of the family.
You good?
Would you like some water?
Yes, all good.
We have a bottled water in my purse if you need it.
No thank you, I'm all good.
Okay, good.
All good, now I feel good.
Yay, awesome, you feel good?
Yeah.
So when those come through,
is it like static in your brain? It's a lot, a lot going on.
Because I was watching you.
Kind of like a fullness.
And so, you know, what I find is there's nuance.
I have to be able to kind of articulate the nuanced dynamics of what comes through, like,
in a family and articulate in a way that makes sense.
So when I do a reading, you know, I'll see a lot of symbols sometimes, like a chain breaking.
And that's my symbol for, okay, you know, breaking a chain, ending ending a cycle and that's something that I've learned over years of doing this
work you know if I see this it means that yeah so it's a little kind of like
doing math problems in my head without scratch paper. I picture your brain being
like have you seen that episode in or not that episode that movie Beetlejuice
and they have the waiting room yes where everybody's waiting and the one dude's
got the ticket and it's like that like it It's like, do spirits literally just flood you
because they are dudes that always have to pertain
to that person.
It can definitely flood in.
And in those cases, I just kind of do my best
to discern between who's coming through for what
and what's coming through for who.
That's wild.
But it's really a process.
That's where I'd say the hardest part of my job is,
is discerning what is for who.
Have you ever had voices speak out of you?
Like out of you?
Like out of me?
Yeah, like, has anybody ever been able to like
take possession of your body and speak for you?
No, but that is a type of physical mediumship that,
you know, there is some evidence seems to exist.
The work of Stuart Alexander, a UK medium,
and yeah, number of cases where it seems to be possible,
but in my case, it's a lot less dramatic.
Yeah.
Except I just sweat a lot.
No, you're good.
How do you ground yourself and how do you shake
other people's energy off of you?
Because I would feel like that would be heavy
to carry that around all the time.
I think focusing on what's given versus what the person
has had taken away helps.
When I'm able to meet with somebody and lighten their load
in any capacity, when I go home, that's more what
I put an emphasis on, not necessarily the heavy stuff that the relief came from.
So it's just kind of a matter of focus. I think I'm sure therapists probably relate to it or even
interviewers. You can kind of focus on how draining the day was or you can focus on what you got out of it.
Absolutely. That's amazing. Well, do you want to take some questions from the major ones?
We'll call daddy really quick because he's so excited.
That is so sweet.
He's actually already FaceTimed me.
Yeah.
I love it.
Shocking.
He's in the studio, so if he doesn't answer right now, he'll call me right back.
Yeah, no worries.
And also good to keep in mind, anybody in this room, information sometimes can come through.
So if anything I said pertains to any of y'all, just good to keep in mind.
Anybody got a Frank?
If anybody's got a Frank in the building.
Who's got a Frank? Who's a Frank? Frank is one of my ex-boyfriends, but he's still alive still with us
Yeah, might have been one of a couple situations if I was curious about the next thing because it kind of came in
Oh Tony, how did Frank fall in the lineup? I don't know that I don't know the this the synchronicity
I got that word from you
Of that but Tony is so my ex I was actually pregnant with his child the synchronicity, I got that word from you, of that.
But Tony, so my ex, I was actually pregnant with his child,
I lost his baby, but we were young, young, young, young.
But when I ran away from home, he was my boyfriend
and like my protector and he actually always loved me
and we just, oh my gosh, okay,
so I know how it came into play.
Oh my God, it just hit me right now.
Jay's beeping in right now, but when Tony was dying,
my, I was with Frankie and we went to his bedside
and I could see Tony, I knew he was already dead.
Hold on, I'll tell you the story in a second.
Yep, that's crazy.
Hey baby.
Oh fuck.
Sorry, sorry, I'm so excited I dropped my.
Hello, Jelly Roll. Hello, Jolly Rose.
Put it back on him.
Thank you so much.
I'm such a fan, dude.
My wife's probably done 300 podcasts, I've probably been excited for five.
Thank you so much.
I'm so fired up about this, man.
I'm so glad you're all together. Thank you for making the time.
Thank you. I so appreciate it.
She's so lovely and you were doing so much amazing work. I'm so glad you all are together. Thank you for making the time. Oh, thank you. I so appreciate it. She's so lovely.
And you were doing so much amazing work.
I am so excited.
Man, thank you, man.
I really appreciate it, dude.
That's cool as hell.
Yes.
He just made me cry.
He just did a reading.
Like, he's got a download in the middle of our interview.
And like, did just, I mean, he knew everything about Bill.
And you know who came through?
Good old Vanessa.
Really?
Yeah.
And one of my ex-boyfriends, one of my ex-boyfriends Tony came through.
It was hilarious.
Did Grace make an appearance?
She did not and that makes me sad but it's okay.
I love you.
I love you too baby.
Good to see you Jolly Roll.
Thank you.
I love you Tyler.
Thank you.
Oh I love you my man.
He didn't even want to talk to me.
He's like I love you Tyler. I so appreciate it. Whatever back to Tyler. We'll connect. I love you. I love you man. I so appreciate it
Yeah, I'm gonna have Tyler do readings for us so we can talk to buddy and stuff
He just had me in tears it was crazy, thank you
He just had me in tears. It was crazy. Thank you. I love you, baby
I love you, too So cute
Um, so adorable. I know isn't he he's my big old squish. He's my little teddy bear
Um, but yeah, so that's how that so the last
When he my ex had smoked, uh, what is that fake weed called?
Oh spice spice. Yeah, and it sent him into cardiac arrest and he died. Oh my God, that can happen.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so that's why, don't smoke that shit, guys.
And I remember we went to the,
he didn't die automatically, but he went into a coma.
Wow.
He had a heart attack, went into a coma,
and I went to go see him, and I remember I held his hand,
and when I was holding his hand,
I could see him standing, looking at me
in the corner of the room.
And I even looked at my ex, Frankie, at the time,
and I was like, he's dead.
I was like, he's not coming back.
He's in the corner of the room right now, looking at us.
And Frankie was just like, I'm so tired of you, bitch.
Because I always came up, you know,
I predicted the mother of his child died.
I had a dream, woke up, bawling my eyes out,
predicted the child
of his mom had passed away. She was healthy, 25 year old woman and three
months later she died. So anytime I would say stuff like that to him, he would get freaked out.
Not again. Yeah, that's crazy that he acknowledged Frankie too. That's so crazy.
That, weirdly enough, is the strongest thing of our whole reading that's came
through for me. Yeah. The other stuff's kind of more incidental, but it's really interesting.
How the people we meet I, do inform our paths.
Whether we know them for a moment or a lifetime,
there's a reason to the season.
And they kind of get us to where we're going.
So wild.
I love what you do, Tyler.
And I definitely want to get you and Jay together,
because I would love for you to talk to his dad.
He is still trying to get over his dad's death.
You know?
Of course.
He just loves his dad so much.
So I think that you guys would have
a really good session together.
Absolutely, yes.
When there's a need, it tends to do the most.
Yeah, absolutely.
Why don't you tell people about that?
It's an app you have that you do readings on.
I do, so it's Mark Cuban's app, technically.
It's called Fireside, and I have a membership service
called The Collective on it,
and I meet with people every week, and we do private reading giveaways group readings
and so for those you interested in you can check it out it's like 12 bucks a
month it's like two coffees but for your knowledge and your time 12 bucks a month
is nothing I mean what you just came through with I wasn't I believed
everything but what you just came through with was literally everything
I've been through and
You know for you to be so spot-on and not even know anything like that like that was wild
Does it ever get exhausting? Do you ever just not want to do this?
There's days where you know, like you just don't you know, you just maybe have a flu or I don't want to go to work
You feel like I don't want to read when I have the flu. Yeah. Yeah, there are times where I have to take a break
Yeah, if the body's not doing well,
but it's like anything, you kinda make yourself do it
and then there's something good that comes from it.
Have you ever had a reading make you physically ill?
Yeah, especially early in my teen years
when I was kinda doing readings frequently.
I had an instance I was almost hospitalized.
I had a kidney, a guy who died of kidney failure
come through and my lower back started hurting.
And there was an instance where my throat started closing. I thought I was having an anaphylactic reaction and the
person had passive throat related issues but it doesn't really come through that
way anymore. Yeah let's circle back to the brain surgery that you
were told me that you had told me about what happened with that. That was
wild I just had headaches for about three weeks and I was 18 and you know I
looked over at my mom one day and I said, Mom, I think I have water on my brain.
My brain's swelling.
And she was like, okay, drama queen.
What a weird thing to say, right?
And then I was hospitalized.
I started showing stroke symptoms
at a trans-asymic attack.
That got me into the hospital.
And then they did a brain scan
where they saw that I had a cyst.
Oh my gosh.
Kind of in the very back and it was obstructing fluid
and so my brain was swelling for about a week
and I got into emergency surgery and got it aspirated
but they were never able to remove it completely so.
And they don't know what caused that?
It was congenital.
For me it was very synchronistic,
the timing of being 18 and just starting my life
and then having to kind of face death
and know that it's still there, you know,
and at any moment could flare up.
Do you feel like that made you more spiritual,
maybe more in tune?
Yeah, just a lot more present.
You know, you realize with the fragility of health,
how one day you're good and then the next day
it can be not so good.
I'm watching that with my parent, with my dad right now.
It's like one minute he's great,
then the next minute he's like,
they told us there's nothing more they can do for him.
And you're like, what are you talking about? I thought his laps were getting better, you know, so it's like a pendulum
No, it's crushed easy because they can be so good one day and the next day. It's like on death's door
So yeah, it's frustrating to watch. I'm sure I try to tell everybody that health is wealth
You know, like it doesn't matter how much money you have. It doesn't matter how famous you are
It doesn't matter anything if money you have, it doesn't matter how famous you are, it doesn't matter anything. If you don't have help,
that there's nothing, you know,
like it's so important to just take care of your body,
take care of your soul,
take care of trauma that you've been through, you know,
just take care of it all because if not,
it literally comes out in other ways in your life.
It always catches up with us in one way or another.
It's so true.
For sure.
Yeah. Do you drink? I don so true. For sure. Yeah.
Do you drink?
I don't, I smoke weed.
Yeah, okay.
So I'm not completely boring, but
I'm not completely boring, but
I'm not completely boring, but
I'm not completely boring, but
No, I'm straight edge.
I don't do, I'm sober now, but yeah.
Congratulations.
No, I love that about you.
He said, no, I smoke weed.
I smoke weed, but beyond that, yeah.
I don't know, alcohol, I think I come from a family
where there were some issues with that on my dad's side.
Yeah. And I just like the smell of it and kind of turn me off. Yeah. Yeah
I never got to really explore that and never got into alcohol or anything like that. No. Yeah. Yeah alcohol was the smell of alcohol
Yeah, it was tricky but you find ways to unwind if you guys want to talk to Tyler
Please sign up on the collective because he's the real deal
And he's worth it. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, absolutely
So do we have some zoomers that want to ask so we?
Yeah, so my patreon gang gang. We love you guys so much. We have a hundred and forty thousand members over there
Oh, congratulations. I know it's crazy
so we have the highest tier is called the main attraction and what we did was we picked five of the
Highest tier to be able to come and ask you a couple questions and there's five of them
So they'll ask you the questions and we'll see what they say
Oh, really? Oh, it's all the energy in there. Oh, no
What do we do?
We're just gonna blow on it. Well, well, so Tyler, while her phone tries to turn on,
that is crazy, I've never seen your phone do that.
If we all blow in your direction.
What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you?
Have you ever had that happen before?
A diaper bag flew off when I was reading Kenya Moore.
I was sitting with her in a shop in Atlanta
and she was pregnant.
And the baby, the diaper bag behind her
flew off on camera as if it had like a string attached.
It was insane.
Wow.
And that was one of the weirdest moments.
But yeah, we've had like light bulbs burst.
Wow.
Things like mics die, it's pretty standard.
But I don't know, there's something to it.
I'm not saying that's what that is,
but it definitely occurs.
No, lights everywhere we go, lights flicker
or lights go off in any house that I'm in.
It drives me fucking crazy.
That's fascinating.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm like the worst phone sex operator ever.
Oh my God, that would be hot though.
Like hello, I'm here to read you.
You're calling to get your tiddly winks,
and I'm here to tell you about,
if he was a phone sex operator.
Yeah.
And I'm here to tell you about past loved ones who passed on.
Let me read your butt cheeks.
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah, that's actually a thing, a form of divination.
I'm not even kidding.
That is Sylvester Stallone's mother was a butt cheek reader
and you can Google it.
Wait a second.
Google it.
Hold on, let me take this off.
I gotta, hold on.
Yeah.
Tell me this again.
Sylvester Stallone, mother red butt cheeks the whole
It was the cheeks. He was a cheek reader I
That's that's what my gift is supposed to be yeah, I'm supposed to be a butt cheek reader. I'm obsessed with buttholes
The cheeks of the whole the whole the whole setup got it the whole
cash-in prizes
Got it
Tyler you are funny dude. I love it. That is so funny.
Okay, I just learned about rumpology. So what is she reading?
So I guess it's the curvature. It's probably similar to the frenetics or whatever that's called.
Okay. You know, but she's like reads the curvature of the butt. I don't know.
I'm going to study this.
The BBL, I feel like would throw that off. Like if someone got one. Did you make a trip to Florida? Did you go to Miami?
Hi guys! Can they see us? Can you guys see us? I can't see.
This is crazy.
Tyler, you're making everything go haywire.
I've been doing some physical experiments lately with trying to alter lights and things
like my free time.
So I do wonder sometimes you're like a fucking like a new age wizard.
Literally, it's the fairy.
I love glitter out of phones okay so Tyler just
did a reading on me guys and Mimi's phones are going haywire like they're
they both shut off one overheated the other one like it's it won't open anything
Like we've never had problems like this. So just
Standby, we're gonna fix this Tyler. Thank you for being so patient. He's like I'm used to this bitch
I'm on brand everywhere. I go
Does this happen everywhere you go literally? Oh, but sometimes sometimes it really does actually there's been really genuinely
it everywhere you go literally. Oh literally but sometimes sometimes it really does actually there's been really genuinely anomalous phenomena has happened that is electrical like yeah things
that even texts can't explain. Yeah so I had a shaman come on the podcast when I first started
and the the the cameras would like reset like 999, like went across it, it was crazy.
Wow, very interesting.
Rumpology.
Rumpology, what a color.
I can't stop thinking about it.
Imagine writing that on your taxes.
I mean, like how much does that pay?
I need to know.
I was saying arm and a leg,
but probably a little more south.
I love torso.
Torso, yeah.
I love that.
Have you ever thought about doing standup comedy?
Oh, comedianship.
Dude!
Can you imagine?
That would be epic.
That'd be Tyler Perry.
No.
Ah, my God.
That pun, oh God.
No, but yes.
That would be...
Hello.
Yay, can you guys see us?
Okay, okay, so what was your name, baby,
the one in the purple?
My name's Rachel. Hi, Rachel. And then Sierra, correct? Hi. Thank you guys for doing this. I
really appreciate it. And thank you guys for being Patreon members. I appreciate you so much. And
then this is Tyler. I'm like, it's good to see you both. Thank you for joining us. It's good to see you. I love it. We'll do, I guess, one question at a time. Yeah, one question at a time. You both could probably shout your questions at the same time, but it would be less effective. So we'll start with, yeah. The one in the purple. Yeah. Okay. So my question was after you pass away, how long does it take for your body to realize
that you're that you're passed?
And how long does it take for your soul to like notice that you've passed?
You know, like get used to being passed.
Right.
Yeah.
That new state.
It's a fascinating question.
Thank you for asking it. You know, there's been a lot of research done in hospice in this area
and so when you look at cases of people who are terminally ill, very often you
kind of actually see a gradual process where it seems that the soul kind of
gradually leaves the body. We think of death oftentimes as an instantaneous
thing and I've kind of learned that in a lot of cases it's gradual. It's a process
in which our energy kind of leaves, is maybe depleted
in this realm but then exists in another and then you have cases that are a
little bit quicker and those differ but somebody can come through the same day
that they pass and then there are some situations where people won't hear from
anyone for months or even years after and it doesn't mean they don't like us
or that they're not interested in connecting. There's just logistically, I think,
certain variables that kind of limit certain aspects.
Yeah, I think I just feel that way because my granny passed away when I was 10 and
I'm 30 now and I haven't had a connection with her. Sure. I don't know if
it's because I didn't go to her funeral or, you know, if she like knew or I don't know if it's because I didn't go to her funeral or you know. You know that's a new or I don't know
like my dad kept it from me so I didn't know she passed away until a couple weeks later.
Yeah, you know they they tend I believe to really process those human emotions that ego
you know the kind of defense mechanisms we have to navigate our earthly lives.
They really process those and through introspection they let them go.
I very rarely have people come through with any form of anger or any sense of
you know, why didn't you do X, Y, or Z? They seem to really get the bigger
picture perspective and that is very eye-opening for them and they really
seem to see that it's more about the connection and the love that we left
behind than what we didn't do or what we could have done. And then that is easy for them to say,
harder for us to integrate.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your question, baby.
And thank you again for being a Patreon member.
I appreciate you. Oh, always, buddy.
I love it.
And Ciara, what was your question, baby?
My question was, can you channel your own lost loved ones?
And do you just hear people literally all day, every day?
And then kind of off of that too,
can you turn the bad spirits, kind of like say,
no, I don't want you to come in and only have good vibes?
Absolutely.
So to answer that, I would say for me,
most of my loved ones don't really make a connection.
And I would attribute that, surprisingly,
for a lot of people when I say that,
to really just the fact that there isn't a need.
I was very close with my grandma and she passed
when I was 10, and I really very seldomly connect with her.
And I'm 28.
If anything, I view that lack of reaching out
as actually an indicator that she's where she's meant to be. That wherever she is
she knows we're gonna all reunite at some point in the grand picture and
there isn't really a strong message. As far as you know discernment goes I've
lived my life in such a way where I have certain practices and big on prayer on
meditation on kind of doing things that orient us fully in the present moment and And in doing so, you know, you can really set an intention and learn
how to navigate those kind of more subtle boundaries. So in the thousands of
readings that I've done, there's only been a handful of times where I've ever
been frightened or where I've ever felt something that might be negative. And I
attribute that to, you know, some divine protection that I think we all have
access to. And I think people underestimate how much power they have
in what they let in.
You know, you can still have a relationship
with your loved ones who've passed and not be afraid,
you know, that they are ghosts that go bump in the night.
These are our parents, these are our siblings,
these are our grandparents.
And then we owe it to them to remember them as such.
I love that.
Thank you, Sierra.
Thank you for your question, babe. And thank you for being a Patreon member. I really appreciate you too love that. Thank you, Sierra. Thank you for your question, babe.
And thank you for being a Patreon member.
I really appreciate you too, baby.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I love you and Jelly and Tyler.
Thank you guys.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Love you guys.
We'll see you guys later.
Yes, much love.
Thank you.
Bye guys.
See you later.
Aw, they're so sweet.
I love that.
Thank you for answering those. Oh, that's so, so sweet. I love that. Thank you for answering that.
Oh, that's so, so sweet.
That was a weird look.
Look at the screen.
Dude, everything is just true.
This is so fucking weird.
That's funny.
This is like the third time this thing has like,
stabbed on me.
Oh, this is sick.
I love it.
The fact that both of my, that one never heated
and this one will not open the app store whatsoever. That's crazy. That's crazy.
Well hopefully when I leave it'll go back to normal.
That's crazy because for the first time I'm not hot in here and normally I'm always hot
in here. When he was reading I was getting shivers like cold like shaking. Some
people will get that yeah even people who enter into the state of doing
readings for other people sometimes get real chilly. Tyler I really appreciate you.
I want to ask you one more question. Do you believe in spirit guides and do
you connect to spirit guides? Yeah you know I really do I believe in unseen
forces of support. Right. And that might sound kind of naive or like overtly
optimistic but I truly believe that we never truly walk alone.
I believe that we are really an amalgamation
of everyone who has ever shown us love.
And whether they are still with us in the physical realm
or whether they pass, I think there's something to be said
about being able to tap into that esteem
that those who love us unconditionally give.
And for me, a lot of those people are departed.
So I kind of call upon that. when I go on stage and I'm nervous and I'm standing in front of 3,000 people
I say come join me, you know, come come with me grandma. Come with me Terry my childhood friend, you know, join me
Let's do this together and when you can even tell yourself that you know, think of the people you've loved and lost
Invite them into your lived experiences and you will realize that
and lost, invite them into your lived experiences and you will realize that you go in with more power.
You go in really knowing you're not alone.
It can be beautiful.
Did you lose a childhood friend?
I did, yes, my friend Terry, he had brain cancer
and that was such a weird moment because he died around 18
and around 18 is when I had my brain cyst happen
and initially when that occurred
They thought that it could have been a malignant brain tumor
So I watched my friend die of cancer and then it within months of his passing was facing the potential that
I could go down the same path and thank God I didn't but yeah, it was really cathartic
Did you ever get a feeling with Terry that he something was wrong? Did you tell him?
I had to distance myself from him because I did not have the maturity
to process the fact that he was gonna die.
And at the time, he was given the all clear,
but I knew in my soul that he wouldn't get
to live a full life.
And so he reached out to me towards the end of his life
and wanted to connect and I said, yes, we'll meet up soon.
I can't wait to see you and then he died.
So I never got the chance.
I hate that.
But things go as they go.
Yeah, absolutely, for sure.
Well, is there anything you wanna tell anybody at home
or leave the audience?
I'm sure they're all listening to this podcast
just like, holy shit.
Oh, well, that's so sweet.
It was wild.
Whether people believe in mediums or not, I understand.
And I encourage people to just try to live a life
where they prevent future regret. Live a life
where you make sure nothing goes unsaid. Do everything in the best of your
ability to tell people while we have them that we love them and give people
the flowers while they're still here. Don't wait for them to die. I swear to
God you just read my mind. I was thinking that in my head. I swear to God that's
crazy. Tyler why don't you tell everybody where they can find you like your socials
and stuff like that and shout out the collective one more time. That's right collective over on fireside. You tell everybody where they can find you? Like your socials and stuff like that.
And shout out the collective one more time.
That's right, collective over on Fireside.
Y'all can check out it,
but Tyler Henry Medium is where I'm at on Instagram.
It's kind of like the only one that I do a whole lot,
but we got TikTok, I guess.
You gotta get more active on TikTok.
I know, I gotta get verified.
You will blow the fuck up.
I can plug you in with WME.
They'll help you with that.
You're so, so sweet.
We'll talk.
I'm excited to get to see this.
It's gonna be so cool. Aw, I love you so much, Tyler. Thank you for coming on, babe. I love you. Yeah. We'll talk. I'm excited to get to see this. It's gonna be so cool.
I love you so much Tyler. Thank you for coming on. I love you, Bunny. Thank you. I really appreciate
you. Thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of Dun Blonde. I'll see you guys next week. Bye!
