Hey, Lady Gang, welcome to Flashback Friday, where we bring some of our favorite Lady Gang episodes from the vault to you in the feed. We have over 600 episodes of this podcast, and whether you're an OG and you've heard this episode before, or you're a new listener and we're just bringing this up and you had no idea we had this person on our podcast, well, you're welcome. Small caveat here, we are an imperfect group of trio of ladies, and we've been podcasting for almost six and a half years. If something we said in this podcast doesn't align with Lady Gang 2020, please give us grace. For instance, there was a period on Lady Gang where I was not into Taylor Swift. It was the reputation era. I wasn't feeling what she was begging, but now I'm like a

Swiftie again. And so I just don't want you to hold me to that because we're all growing and learning and our opinions change pretty much every day. Without further ado, welcome to Flashback Friday. Well, what is this? Welcome to the Lady Gang. That's amazing. Say that again. The Lady gang things are about to change around here each week we catch up with hollywood's hottest girl posse kelty knight becca tobin and jack vanik hello hello hello welcome to the lady gang i'm becca tobin here with jack vanik and kelty knight hello that's all i'm gonna say it's just whoa whoa guys wow like i am so shook and i know that i i saw on the facebook group that a lot of girls are like, I'm just so busy right now getting back into my life. Like I

listen to Good Week, Bad Week, and then I don't really get into the guest. And I'm like, okay, this is the guest. You got to stick around today, people, because I just had my mind blown. I'm not even okay. And it wasn't even me to have my mind blown. You can just fast forward through the Good Week, Bad Week, to be honest. Yeah. It was pretty incredible. So Teresa, the Long Island medium that we all know her as i mean she's been on tv for what like 20 years yeah um yeah she is amazing she's also just like beyond her gift is such a lovely human so sweet so sweet i just i'm so i was such a fan of her before and now i just wow everybody don't fast forward through this and get to her yeah you don't need to listen to this don't listen to this but just in case it's time

for good week yes it is bad week oh no um i'll start so i got this new puppy barbara barbara barbara's a real name can come from like i was sitting in the office and chelsea's like barbara she's like it's just so far from orly no no it's it's two jewish ladies but i don't know orly was like a person name it's a jewish name no orly is a person name i've met four women named orly what it is a very common hebrew name so orly is a human name and barbara's obviously a human name and um i know a lot of old jewish calling her barb babs i'm calling her Babs. I already decided. So thank you. We mostly call her Babs. I had a script supervisor on Glee and her name was Babs and her name is Babs. And she's just like one of my favorite people on the

planet. I mean, I didn't name my dog after her, but I needed anybody that I knew with the name of Babs to be cool. And she's cool. So two little Jewish dogs, Jewish old ladies. So I got Babs and she's been really good. She's been, she's mixed with a poodle. So she's smartest and they're really relatively easy to train and potty train and all that stuff. So I was like, God, I feel really lucky that it's been a breeze. And so yesterday I got to, I got too casual with Babs. I let her have a little bit of free reign while I was working. And I go and I'm like, you know what? She's been very quiet. I'm going to just go check on her. And I go in my bathroom and she looks at me and there's something hanging out of her mouth. That's clear. I'm like, did she get into plastic

wrap? Like what the, what is this? And I go and I yank it out of her mouth. It's my fucking Invisalign. The one that I wear like every night, cause I'm done with my Invisalign, but the final tray is what I sleep in and it's destroyed, destroyed. So I had to call the dentist and it's $350 to get a new one. And also if you, if you don't wear it for a couple of nights, your teeth start to shift and you might as well just start Invisalign over. Exactly. And I asked the girl, I was like, how long does it usually take? She's like, oh, it can take up to like 10 days. I'm like, well, I'm going to need a whole new set of Invisalign trays. Like that can't be right. Invisalign. If someone is asking for a replacement tray, like, could you expedite it?

I just think that's so stupid. This happened with Jared's too, because he, cause with my night guard, it i'll wash it in like an effordant like you know like a denture cleaner to clean it and so when he got his smile direct club i was like oh wash it in effordant but it ended up shrinking his invisalign like this big and then he needed but he was in the middle of it so he's like i need a new one they're like it's going to be two weeks i'm like they've got to get a better process oh yeah i don't have to start over i need them to get it together this is 30 shit right now this is some 30s shit okay my teeth are shifting babs in the invisalign babs ate my invisalign um okay so here's my good week uh i was shopping uh like on south congress in austin which is like

a really cute area clothing and mexican food and like all the delicious stuff and i'm in a store and i look over and i'm like that woman is wearing like the coolest outfit she's just cool and there are people who are cool in austin but she was like another level of cool and i look and it's Leanne Ford. And I was like, Leanne? She goes, oh my God. And we were like, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? I said, I moved here. She goes, oh my God, I forgot that. And I was like, what are you doing here? And she's like, oh my, we come all the time and we visit friends and blah, blah, blah. And she's like, we're going out tonight to a honky tonk. Come with us. I wasn't able to go. It was devastating, devastating. What was she wearing? She was in

like a really um kind of like a drop crotch pant yes like yes baggy um she had on like a i think it was like a cool birkenstock not your tip not your typical like very it was like a puffy a fashion a fashion birkenstock always looks so good she had on like um it looked like a painter's shirt but she wasn't in work clothes but it all kind of looked like you know in a bandana she's just cool. She's so cool. Cool. Um, but I'm excited because she comes here all the time and we're going to become best friends and hang out. I'm so jealous. Yeah. So did you like when you said hi to her or you like it's Becca? Cause I feel like she wouldn't recognize if that happened to me. Well, I don't think we would know we had masks on. So I took my mask down and I go, it's

becca and she's like hi but we also like dm a lot on instagram before this yes so it was kind of like and yeah so and she referenced something about me doing something that i had just posted about so i felt confident that she did know who i was because i was don't you worry i was so paranoid that she was going to be like hi i don't know who you are hi do you want to take a picture fan and you'd be like yes i actually do her husband was there too he's a smoke show hot smoke show they're just the coolest people so yeah that's uh my new best friends what's up with you guys this week i'll go um so my good week is a dm that i got and the dm says hey jack long time lady gang listener i was listening to the episode tuesday i want to let

you know that i am pregnant and my girl name is jacqueline jacqueline lorraine leonard i love the name love jack for sure and even my picky ass husband likes it we aren't finding out if it's a girl so you can have one on kelty if it is i'll let you know this november so we've got a potential jack baby coming oh okay let me know when you have two i feel like maybe if it's a boy she should still just name it jack so i can get the win um but yeah we have a you know potential jack coming in the world in november um my bad week is i was driving the other day and I had an itch inside of my nose. So I go to start itching it with my fingernail and literally it's, it happened. The hottest guy that I've ever seen in the world. This isn't even the first

time this has happened to you. I'm upset. Rolled up right next to me. Has this happened to me before? Yes. Yeah. No. And you have such long nails that you're really digging. No, I was really, I was really like doing a good itch, but it's like, it's literally that Seinfeld episode you're picking your nose. I was like, I'm not picking my nose. I swear to God. I swear. I swear. I'm going to make an observation right now, Jack. What? So this is for Jerry. Cause you guys are probably going to share a life together. Yes. So you talk about guys being hot a lot and all the time you notice guys are hot. I just want to say you're the equivalent to my friend's husbands who point out like, look at that girl's tits in front of their wife.

Okay. Yeah. I'm like, look at that guy's height. So I listen, do you, whatever's good for your relationship, but I think we should have a level playing here, failed here with men and women. You don't want to be the husband. Who's like, check out that girl's tits. Okay. You're not wrong, but like, I, it's just lives within me. Like I love a hot guy, but you can say it differently. Like Zach doesn't refer to women as hot or smoke shows or whatever i mean i just called leanne ford's husband we're the worst yeah but i'm total hypocrite but he'll say things sexual husband sexual he'll say things like oh uh he won't i mean unprompted he won't really comment on a woman's looks but like if he's forced to i'll be like do you think she's

pretty i'll be like yeah she's really pretty like you're allowed to say he's handsome or handsome looking but you're aggressive hot guy is hot a lot and i think i need to speak up for Jerry right now. I, you know what? I appreciate that because he doesn't ever really say anything about it, but I know he's probably inside of his soul is dying a little bit every time I say that. So note taken. Good, good, good. Just here to fix everyone's relationships. Thank you so much therapist. Well, everyone, um, I'm so excited to announce my good week, which is I was inspired by the internet for a new category of Bujo page that I had never thought of before. It's the new trend in bullet journaling, which is the journaling that I do. A lot of people are like, what are

you talking about the Bujo? If you don't know, it's really just taking a blank notebook and making pages, filling it with things you could buy a target already printed. You're gonna love this. The page is called the rage page. And it's just a page of all the things that you're mad about. Anytime you just write down like people who don't wait in line properly, people who do self-checkout, but have never used the machine before. Just very specific, whatever the things you're mad at. You know what I mean? Well, I just want to say my therapist used to make me do this, like get it all out on paper, but it's unhealthy to keep it. You're supposed to burn it. So I don't think it's good to have

it living in your Bujo forever. I think you have to get it out and release it and then burn it. I know. And then, yeah, I feel like that's, that can't be good. It's a lot of negativity in there. Then you just keep putting more. And then you look at the things that bugged you before that you probably forgot about that you're going to still be mad about. And it's like this like cycle that doesn't end and just compounds on itself. Okay. Wow. Thanks for coming. I had a revelation about Bujos actually. I was in Target and I was like, I haven't Bujoed since I was trapped in Vancouver. And I was like, I just need to be able to like see my schedule in front of me. Like I

just need to be able to see it. And so I go and I buy a calendar, like a desk calendar and I'm sitting there and I'm filling it out and I'm like, why, why do people Bujo? It's literally just this, but it's already done for me. Like I was sitting in Vancouver creating a desk calendar with rulers and colored pencils. And I'm sitting here, I'm like, I have my life back. I can just buy a desk calendar. Yeah. You're not wrong. I like doing it because I'm like quite creative, but like, I don't, you know, that's probably why they have the pre bought pages like that. You can just pick up for yourself. Well, if you haven't turned this off already. I wasn't the one who took it to the boring place. Becca and her Bujo monologue were

the ones that have bored you. I was giving you something exciting like rage. Okay. What's your bad week? Um, my bad week is this. So I recently returned from We Care, which Becca and I had gone to last year. It's like a cleanse that you go on. I did three days. And, um, like, because as you guys know, I had been on a really unhealthy track and I kind of needed a reset. And so I've been back on the health track. And if you've been listening to the podcast since the beginning, we're six years in just know that every three months I'm either on a bad track or a good track and I go all in, like there's no medium for me. Um, but anyway, so, you know, this time, last time we went with Becca, I had a friend, I had support. And so we got like really obsessed

with like checking off our drinks. Like, did we have our green juice? Did we have our carrot? Did we have our aloe? This time I didn't have a friend and I was like a little more lax about it. So I'd get the colonic. And then she'd be like, don't forget to take your probiotic. And I was like, no problem. And then I go back to my room and like six hours later, I'd be like, oh yeah, I'm supposed to take the probiotic. So I came home Monday after this, I have the fucking rager of all yeast infections because I have sucked out all the bacteria in my gut. I feel fabulous. My skin is glowing. My vagina is on fire and I'm on my way to a trip, a sexual trip with my husband. And so I have to still have a yeast infection because you have, I know.

So, I mean, not to get in the gory details, but I tried to fix it myself by taking all the yeast pills and like doing that. And I like was three days in and I was like, you know what? The vagina is still itching. So I'm gonna get a diflucan and then I did the, now I'm waiting for it to clear out. But the thing about a yeast infection is that it lasts longer than you think, even after the itching stop, it's still in there. So like, remember that time I had sex with a guy and I gave him the yeast infection on his penis

and he thought that I gave him herpes. Oh yes. Yes. It's ringing your bell. Did you not use my super great trick of the coconut oil and the tampon? So I accidentally used all my coconut oil, making the healthy granola to stay on my health track from Katie Weber's web thing. And I haven't got groceries because we're going on the trip. It's a nightmare up in this life anyway when we come back um teresa's here and she's fabulous now back to the lady gang our guest today doesn't need an introduction everyone and she might know what i'm about to say before i say it she's a new york times best-selling author reality show megastar and the most famous medium in the world with a wait list of over two years she's a

podcaster with her show hey spirit and you can also see her live like literally now you can get tickets she's in your city during the platinum experience today she's here to tell us about the afterlife show us our futures that are full of fame and function and beautiful skin and she's also here of course to give us tips on back combing our hair for jesus please welcome to the the iconic Teresa Caputo. Oh my God. Thank you guys so much. I think that is the most amazing intro anyone has ever done. She's good at it. You're incredible. I just want to set the stage. Becca, will you set the stage of where, because this is a podcast, but I feel like we need to know and understand what we are looking at at this moment. Okay. Well, right now, Teresa,

not only has the most epic, perfectly coiffed hair you've ever seen. Perfect fucking Teresa right now. Perfectly. And it's freshly colored. Cause he cannot see a root. There's not a root. She is in her, her, uh, background looks like one of the ones that you can choose on zoom where it's like, Oh, today I want to look like a rich bitch, but it's real. It's the biggest closet I've ever seen in my life with like beautiful, clear, you know, you're rich when you have like the clear closet doors and all your clothes are put away but you can still see them like in a boutique that is what she's sitting in front of it is oh and just a casual Dior tote over her left shoulder I love casual Christian Dior just on the floor it's placed like in the perfect perfect spot

that you just kind of see it the Christian Dior has its own chair look that's a bench the Christian Dior has its own chair there's also a staircase in this closet okay your closet is you need to look closer because they're shitting here from target h&m like i literally just came back from um alabama and that was the my travel bag that i i'm the tote that i use just to to travel and tote all my stuff so she's a we love we stan a high low queen i'm a hot mess i mean literally like there's still my shoes still in bags like on on the counter back there. So I love it. And the roots are there. The roots are definitely there. Barely, barely see your hair literally looks perfect. Yes. And, and, and when people don't realize I still live next

door to my parents, I live right next door to the house that I grew up in. So I might have this mega closet, but I live in a, my, my home is very small, very modest. I love where I live. I lived on this block since I'm five. So for 49 years, I've lived on this block and, um, I wouldn't trade anything for the world to be still next door to my parents. So I say, talk about separation anxiety. I'm the same. Trust me. It's probably why you're so cool. And so I think successful in Hollywood because, um, you have not done the move to Beverly Hills. You have not done the, oh wow i'm a tv star everyone knows me i'm iconic like my shit doesn't stink like you've stayed pretty grounded i honestly i don't i'm still floored when people like oh my god i'm obsessed

i love your show i'm like you know who i am like i still i still can't believe it because i never thought in a million years i mean i didn't wake up one day and say to my parents oh you know what i think i'm going to talk to dead people for a living and i'm going to have a television show and I'm going to travel around on a tour bus, you know, for half the year and channel dead people for thousands of people in theaters and arenas. I never thought in a million years I'd be where I am. And I still say it to this day. I'm just Teresa Caputo from Hicksville. And I have the amazing ability to give peace after the loss of a loved one. And that's it. Do you think that your ability to talk to dead people is also, does that, um, I'm trying to word this the right way.

Does that give you the perspective that allows you to stay so grounded? Like, you know, what really matters or like, cause most people would not be in your position and still be living in the house and the street they grew up in next to their grandparents. Like we're all so up in that way. Um, but we also can't talk to the dead. Well, I think you're right. Maybe because of what I do, but I don't know any different. I always say to people, I was born this way. I don't know any, anything different. And I've always sensed and felt things. I've always said things that were a little odd where people go, well, what do you mean? And no one ever made a big deal about it. And I was just very lucky to have an amazing family that always just supported the crazy

things that I would say. Yeah. You know, and I used to say to my mom, like all the time, like, I don't feel right. I feel different than everyone else. I feel like I don't belong here. and my mom literally one day said to me she's like well stop saying that because you're not adopted and there's no reason why you should feel that way you know you belong in this family and one of the famous things that i always say when people say i like what did your family think it was it was the day that um my we buried my dad's mom nanny burgundy and i was talking to the drapes and my cousin was like who are you talking to and i'm like i'm talking to nanny and he's like nanny is dead and you're talking to the drapes you're a freak and walked away from me like

he still tells this story and you know it's just it's just who I am yeah and is that is that like the first moment that you really felt that connection and that other people saw in your family um I think it was over the years but I think for me when my grandmother died it was really hard for me because I didn't know that I had this ability. I first of all believe that everyone has the gift, the ability to connect with their own departed loved ones, because that is a soul bond that can never and will never be broken. When we lose someone, it's just that physical connection. And I want, that's really why I do what I do. I want people to know that the things that they sense and feel that they think that are weird or crazy, know that it's them. I say

they're little hellos from heaven. And it's your loved one letting you know that they're with you at that exact moment. So for me, when I lost my nanny, I think it was that moment for me where I was like, wait a minute, she's dead, but I still hear her. I still feel her. And like, I remember freaking out at her funeral at her wake, like screaming and trying to get her out of the casket. It was awful. I was 16. And I look back on that now and I know why, but it wasn't until i was almost 30 that i knew that i had this ability to connect with everyone's loved ones not only my own loved ones wow do you go to therapy oh i do but not not for uh not for talking to the dead i just go to confession and confess to the priest every way i still talk to

dead people well no i'm just wondering like i feel like your insides and your brain must be quite heavy. Oh, it's, but again, I, it's almost like people say, how do you turn it off? Turn it on. I don't, I, I don't know how it works. So I think that's one of the thing that, that, that gets me when people like, oh, she does this, she does that. And I'm like, oh, I'm so glad you figured it out because I still don't know how this shit works. It just happens. Like I've said for years, like all of a sudden my, my brain will like, as I like give a speech, uh, when I'm ready to work. Like, I feel like my brain just clears out of its own, my own personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions. And then it just becomes the emotions of the soul that I'm channeling and

the person that I'm reading. And I actually did it on Dr. Oz and on Long Island Medium, where this brain expert read my brain as I was reading someone. And he said, your brain, he goes, you're talking. He goes, when you were reading, he goes, not only do you access a part of your brain that we typically don't, he says, but when you were reading, it was like, there was no activity in your brain. Like my brain flatlined. Yeah. Yeah. Well, also I remember, so I told Teresa before we started recording my childhood, one of my childhood best friends worked as a producer on her show from like season one. He's known her for a million years. And I remember asking him when he started, I said, is she the real deal? Cause we all know that like reality

television sometimes it is. And sometimes it's not. He said to me, he goes, Becca, it does not matter where we are. If he doesn't matter, if there's a camera, it does not matter if it's the most inopportune time. If something happens, if something comes over her, like she's reading it and it is so real though. I, I was like, well, I'm a believer because he would tell me if you're bullshitting, listen, you can't make this shit up. I don't know how. And you know, like, listen, I struggled with my gift for so many years, um, from the age of 28 until 33. Cause I was like, I am a Catholic. And so I struggled with that, with my gift. And I was like, okay, now God has blessed me with this gift, but who's going to want to come and see a medium and talk

to their relatives that have died? I could not understand that. But what I learned is that unfortunately, no matter who we lose or how they die, young or old, we here in the physical world are left with burdens and guilts. We're left with the should have, could have, would have, maybe an only if. And at the end of the day, all of these emotions do not give us the ability to heal. So I put my gift in God's hands. And I said, if this is my soul's journey here in the physical world, I will walk through every door that you open for me. And here I am. And the turning point for me was 9-11. After 9-11 happened, I had a spiritual experience where I was told that there were so many souls that needed their loved ones to know that they were at peace. So, and here I am,

You know, I can't, I can't tell you how it works, what, you know, I wish I could say to someone, oh, who do you want to summon today from the other side? It's just whatever I start to sense and feel. And look, I'm the first one to say that's crazy. That's common. Look, there are common ways people die, common burdens and guilts that we carry. But the thing that I ask spirit to do is to bring up and talk about things that someone would not expect. Something that would be no way that I could find out or know about. So they like bring up things that happened maybe years ago. They talk about things that happened after they died. They'll talk about things that you, how you feel things that maybe you, that you haven't shared with anyone else to validate that

they hear you. And then the best thing is that personality. Cause it's like, you're the only one that knows your loved one's personality. And I love when spirit hat and they're like, oh my God, that's exactly what my brother would do. Or that's exactly how my grandmother would say that. So that's so wild. Okay. Dad, not to bring it back to me, but my dad had a near death experience. And, um, when, as my parents have gotten older, we've talked a lot about mortality and he's always said to me, like, baby girl, like, you don't have to be afraid to die. It's wonderful. And I was like, he, I just heard he was sent back. They, they sent him back. Oh my God. So he was like parents. So I don't know if they were his. So when I see like, um,

when I sense a soul, like if I see parents, it could be like grandparents or parents that had to be that bond and that they sent him back and that he had this beautiful spiritual experience. Yeah. He was like, it was so calm. It was so comfortable. I felt so safe. And so he's like, I've, I've never been as scared to die. Like, and I was like this, I always tell the story because it brings people so much. Um, you think it's going to be like this. Oh my God, it's horrible, horrible. He's like, no, babe, like we're good. And I was like, ah, this is so crazy. So do you think the afterlife is scary? Like, I think, what do you know about that?

Not at all. I only know from what spirit has shown me. And it is exactly that peaceful. I might not always see what it exactly might look like, feel. They always make me feel what it's like. And you know how many times a soul will say, I suffered for years with a disability. And they'll say, if I knew it was this peaceful, I would have died years ago. Oh my God.

um but um it really is amazing on how and it's interesting i just recorded uh i just for an episode of hey spirit yes i have a woman and you literally could feel the weight being lifted from her as as the reading was happening in the beginning she was so guarded and so afraid because she didn't know what to expect she didn't even like really she knew who i was but never really saw the show or knew anything about me. So she was so guarded. And then as things started to unfold through the messages you could feel, and I think that's the thing that I love, whether it's watching the show or listening to the podcast, you can feel the healing begin. It really is incredible. So what do you say to a lot of our friends right now have little toddlers, right?

And these little kids and they'll see things or they're talking to things or like whatever. Can you talk about that phenomenon and what we're supposed to say to the kids when they're like oh look there's you know well show them pictures that is the first thing that that i tell people show them pictures of your loved ones that have died sometimes they'll make reference and they'll say oh i saw grandpa and they never met grandpa before or they'll say oh your dad said that he loves you and imaginary friends young children it's very easy for them to sense the souls of the departed because their minds are clear as adults we're busy with burdens and the should have could have would have or we you ever think when you think you see that shadow go by and you

make up a million excuses oh i was tired maybe something just flashed by or the lights flickered well maybe it was like a little storm or no that's your loved ones so um i it happened actually with my brother when my nephew was little they my brother called me up and he's like jason is seeing dead people and it's all your fault and hung up. And I'm like, whoa, wait a minute. How is this my fault? And I said to him, show him a picture of Corinda's dad. Cause my sister-in-law's dad had passed. And he said, that was the man that was in the pantry was her father. Wow. So that's why I say, just embrace it. Don't make a big deal about it. They might outgrow it. They might not, but because for them, it's so comfortable. It's so natural and show them

pictures of people that have died and i guarantee you they'll say oh that was them um that is a and when they they look right like right by you or they typically stare at corners uh in in a room because they can see the soul well i feel like familiarizing kids with that when they're younger that can probably help set them up to not be as scared of death and not have all of these fears that we do as adults because everything is kind of based on that so i love that and i think we're just think about it. We're scared or afraid of the unknown, right? We don't know what it's going to be like. And some people even say to me, well, how do you know? And I'm like, listen, if there's nothing, then we're not going to know. I'm like, so it's not going to make a difference. So let's

just like embrace, you know, something faithful, right? Or happy. And then if there is nothing, then we're not going to know anyway. I love this. All right. When we come back, we have to talk about the oranges with Teresa. You're listening to The Lady Gang. All right, we're back. Becca, the oranges. Oh God, this is so embarrassing. So Chelsea Handler recently wrote a book

about her experience going to therapy and dealing with the loss of her brother when she was young, a tragic accident. And he died and she started seeing this therapist or psychiatrist and one day he just handed her an orange and was like, this was from my tree in the backyard. Here's an orange, hands it to her. and she starts sobbing. I don't know if you've heard this story. So then she recently had a

podcast and she had the writer of the book signs on, and she made a reference to oranges being something that sometimes people who have passed, like we'll show you if they're around or if they're present. Um, and so I had a boyfriend pass away almost exactly seven years ago, suddenly in a sleep and I never felt connected. I felt like gone in the abyss. And I felt like there was never any of those moments where you could feel it. I was in our house and I never felt him. And so this was a couple of years ago and I'm driving to yoga and I'm listening to this podcast and I was like, oh, fine. And I, so I was like, you know what, Matt, if you're, if you're still here or if you're here, you know, show me an orange today.

and I pull into the yoga studio and I walk into the studio. I put my mat down and I sit down. And then I noticed behind me, it's hot yoga, by the way, like people do not bring snacks into the studio. There's a guy behind me peeling a orange. Yeah. And I was like, you can't make that up. No. And then it happened to me again in Vancouver. I was just up there for work and I was on a run and I passed a guy who looked exactly like him. And I was like, okay, where's the orange? Where's the orange? And there was a guy coming out of his front door, throwing an orange peel into a planter on his front yard. Like it's just that kind of stuff. It was so crazy. Is it because I finally knew, was I asking something specific or was I ready to see that? I believe you were

ready to see it. Secondly, I always tell everyone don't ask, like, you can't say I want to see four butterflies and two rainbows by Saturday. And I know it's going to be you. A lot of times signs and symbols are great when they come when we're least expecting it, but that might be what you needed to hear and what you were able to then connect with. So it doesn't necessarily, I mean, that is a crazy, amazing experience. So as you were telling, as you were telling the story, I saw my symbol for a Home Depot. That's my symbol for where we see someone that looks exactly like a person and we just see them for that split second. And then when we get closer, it's like, wait a minute, that's not them. It doesn't even look like them. I don't know how they're able to

do it, but they're able to like put their souls into someone else to show us that they are with us. Wow. But you also connect with music with him too. Is that correct? Uh, yes. Okay. So I just asked him to validate that. And he showed me the song on the radio that you hear for like, you're not playing it on purpose it's not a current top 40 hit randomly you turn the radio on change the channel and it comes on that's him that's his soul it's not that he's the song it's his energy that gets you to do that but you also smell him or sense him like what's behind you or is it why do i i just felt like someone was standing behind me oh i mean i'm i i'm wearing his sweatshirt right now oh shit did you do that on purpose yeah little sticker yeah I I like didn't

I forgot that I had it and then I was like I'm gonna do this because I I feel like I have a hard time like I said just like finding him in those things or but that's the thing I always say to people don't look so hard yeah yeah did you ever think that that song was him when you were hearing the song were you ever like oh i i feel you with me like those are the moments where you it's that feeling of whether he's standing behind you or just that knowing whatever it is the thing is nobody can tell you how to feel nobody can tell you how to connect with them so um but yeah so oh you told me that he died because i was just having difficulty breathing so i couldn't take like a deep breath um so spirit will bring me through that their departure but didn't you you

had the dream of him i had a lot of dreams like after right after he passed away i had a lot of dreams with him but then but let me just say that see i don't dream of my loved ones that have died so don't take that for granted i don't connect with my loved ones in that way when spirit shows me the visitation it's my symbol for that you had a spiritual experience where they showed themselves to you that they were okay so i don't care if it's for a split second but he was fine he was smiling that was a visitation of his soul to say i am with you i am at peace and i am not suffering he just said there was no way that my passing could not have been prevented do you understand that? Um, I also feel he's, he's a little private cause I could feel like

he kind of, uh, blocked me a little bit, which is fine. I would just like to express it. Cause again, that's his personality, but then he's like quirky. Like he's doing like this crazy dance. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, stop being silly. Um, but do you connect with the number 17? I don't know if it's a 17th of a month, if it was an age, uh, whether you met or the month of January and the month of July as far as birthdays or anniversaries? My birthday's in January. He passed in July.

Okay. My job is just to make sure that I interpret everything correctly. I don't need to know specifics because what I've also learned from channeling spirit is that there are certain things that spirit might not want to talk about. They might not want to talk about the way that they died

or how they died. And I say to people, and to me i don't care i'm not trying to be rude at the end of the day you lost someone that you have to continue your life here in the physical world without and it stinks and it's not fair so all we need is that peace and that is it um but um was there did you date him in school or something with school or was there something done in honor or in memory of him because he showed me like releasing of balloons and then i felt like i was at a school so typically that's if something at the school they do in honor or in memory of them,

whether it be a scholarship, a foundation. Sometimes we just think about doing those things and we never do it. Yes. Okay, to validate that his soul knows what was done and more importantly, has attended it in spirit. Okay. Did you happen to randomly just talk

to someone in his family? Yeah. Okay, validating his soul was present. No way I would know that, correct? No, you would not know that. The school is crazy because didn't he throw you that big graduation party, Becca? Like right before the class. Yeah, he threw me like, it took me a forever, a long time to finish college because I was

like working and going back. And so he threw me this like massive graduation party. I mean, I was like 26 at the time and I wore like a graduation cap and like did the whole thing and he flew my parents out. Like it was like a whole party. Yeah, yeah. She's like, I have to do this. Yeah. When, when I was talking, when I was channeling him, did you feel something, whether

it be like a breeze or like a warmth feeling or like a chill? I mean, my whole body. Okay. Know that that's his soul. Cause what I do is I ask spirit to allow you to feel them in the exact moment. And it's something that you typically don't feel. Some people feel a warmth. Some people feel like a little goose bump. Some people will actually feel like a little brush, like a little kiss on their cheek so he was showing me all of those things so acknowledging that what you were feeling knowing that that is him well do you have a dog who's the dog i do have a dog does your dog act odd for like no reason sort of and i got her like kind of right after he passed when oddness know that she is responding or acknowledging his soul because the way young children are

is the same way that animals are oh interesting wow thank you no i he did it not me i he's really stubborn so i'm really so he's so mad well now i am i understand the blocking but he's like he goes Teresa you did not say not once how good looking I am he goes I am I cannot believe it he goes he didn't even talk about my hair he goes look how awesome like I almost feel like how cool he is he's got that sway oh my god you nailed it oh my god um okay we have to wrap but I we could go on all day unfortunately Teresa's waitlist is two years plus long so you Becca you never you can't get in for any more um this was incredible and this is why we wanted to have you on and we really wanted to tell everyone her podcast I'm telling you hey spirit every
