Vino's, I have actual goosebumps.
Starting point is 00:01:29 They haven't left my body. They hurt. They're so big. Little behind the scenes tidbit is that I record my guest introductions after my interview with them because a lot of the time our conversation veers from the questions and research that I've done. So I cannot really recap the episode until after I've had the chance to chat with them. So I definitely had to wait until after this interview with my guest today to record this
Starting point is 00:01:51 intro because I had no idea if someone would come through for me or if I would really get a true reading and what any of it would really reveal. So not only one, but three spirits came through. The goosebumps are large and charged. Yes, I have none other than Teresa Caputo, who you also may know as the Long Island medium with me today. She's the literal spirit lady. She is so good. She knows things that I don't even know how she knows. I've always wanted to have her do a reading for me. It was like on my bucket list and today is that day. Of course, Curious Little Me asks her all about her ability to connect with spirits, how she first discovered this gift, how it has changed her life, and what sort of negatives she might have to live with
Starting point is 00:02:36 it due to it. This is recording that I will never, ever forget. I also want to stalk her and her daughter and become their friends. So get ready to get the chills. Iconic. Iconic. First of all, Victoria is like ready to flatline. She's so excited. So I hope you don't mind. We had like a little bit of a Zoom crusher right now
Starting point is 00:03:08 just for a hot second. Oh, I love it. Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you. Congratulations on getting engaged. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. You're going to have to give me all the tips about what to do
Starting point is 00:03:19 and what not to do at a wedding. Just a little. oh okay good to know i've thought about that i'm not going to lie well as a mother i will say absolutely not i don't think my mother would allow it i really don't or my dad to be honest can i see your ring quick oh i know i've seen a million pictures but oh my god beautiful i know i'm gorgeous you can always swear on my podcast thank you yes i'm quite in love with it and there's so many sweet details i hope you have as much fun planning and enjoy your day with your fiancé, husband, Jason.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Well, come on, you need to get in it. You need to know. I love that you don't know. It's funny. I do know because Victoria is obsessed with you and she talks about you all the time. I never vote. Never. I'm not a voter. I literally voted for you
Starting point is 00:04:12 for every single freaking week of Disney starts. I'll like, I've watched American Idol since I was like 10 years old. I don't vote for crap. I'm like, I'm voting for Gaylee. I'm so happy. Thank you so much because you are part of why I won the mirror ball. So thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. Yeah. She would be out and she'd be like, are you home? I'd be like, yeah. Record it. Is it recording? Double check it. Double check it like five times.
Starting point is 00:04:37 If I was out and she was out, I would have to come home and make sure that it was recording. Because God forbid she missed dancing with the stars. You know what? Do you drink wine or do you like scrunchies? Because I'm sending you some. Well, so I don't. I don't drink wine, but I bought my friend your wine, of course, because I had to support you. So I bought her, like, every single one of yours.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I don't drink. Did you get any from me? What about your mom? I drink wine. I'm sending you some wine, and I'm sending you some scrunchies, and there we go. You're doing a wedding one, a wedding, yeah. Oh, that's so awesome. Yeah, and it's, what's funny is Jason didn't know I was doing that.
Starting point is 00:05:18 He knew I had a photo shoot for scrunchies, but he never was. like what's the edit about like what what kind of dues are you doing for your scrunchies and so when he told cleo my business partner that he was proposing on this day she was like she literally has a bridal shoot right after oh my god to do photos for that and so we got engagement photos out of it too oh my god that's perfect yeah yeah it was amazing okay one more thing i had a crush on jason during his season we all did and i was like this man And it's just amazing. I slid in his DMs a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:05:55 But he was like engaged, I think. And I was like, maybe this will work out. This one. This one. Could you imagine? Amazing. But I love both of you. I watch you.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I'm getting a golden retriever as well. So I need tips on that. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Anybody that's from The Bachelor, I slide into their DMs, of course. This one. And I get no replies.
Starting point is 00:06:20 It's quite right. Well, Jason replied to you. I think like once. Because he told me, because he knows I'm such a fan of mediums and that I've watched your show so many times. I invited him to a show. What? I invited it to.
Starting point is 00:06:36 No, because that was my whole plan. I'm getting to, you know. Okay. I'm going to get out. No, I'm just. I invited him to a show. I don't think you guys were together or you guys maybe just started talking. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:06:48 It was like hilarious. A few years ago. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, we would have been just starting dating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so I think you need to maybe do a podcast about sliding into people's DMs. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And Golden Retrievers. Yep, anything. Anytime. Okay, she's kicking me out. I'm kicking her out. Thank you, Caitlin. I love you guys. Good luck and congratulations.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Oh, congratulations to you and we love you. Oh, my gosh. She is a riot. I feel like I could hang out with her. She seems like my kind of gal. She's, she's real. I always say this about Victoria. If you want to know something, an honest opinion,
Starting point is 00:07:24 if you really don't want an honest opinion, do not ask her. Like, she is as real as they come. But that's what you need in a friend. My girlfriend actually called me out this morning for being annoyed at something. And she was like, that really doesn't, like you're being a little bit dramatic. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:07:39 you're right, I am. But I like when people are honest with me because I mean, I feel like I'm real and honest. And like, same thing. Jason will always say, like, Caitlin will always give you her honest opinion. But that's, you know, you need those people in your life. You do.
Starting point is 00:07:52 You do. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for coming on the podcast. Absolutely. Thank you for having me. And you have your own podcast. So you do. You get this world.
Starting point is 00:08:10 That's, which is amazing because anyone who is a medium should have a podcast, especially on your level of freaking light mediums. You are so incredible. I loved your show on TLC. I'm sure everybody says that to you. And as, you know, in your profession, I'm sure every interview you do, you probably get the same question. So I apologize if I'm just like beating a dead horse here, but I have so many. You know, sometimes I do, but a lot of times I get interesting questions, especially if it's someone, you know, that is not familiar with mediums.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And then I get really interesting questions with people like yourself that if you are into mediums, or just into the other side. You know, everyone has a different perception and opinion. And I think that's one of the biggest things that I have is that people have such an opinion about me and they don't really know why I do things, how I even got started, my story. So even though it might have been asked a million times,
Starting point is 00:09:11 it's always important because your listeners might have never heard of me. Right. That's true. I'm sure they have, but I feel like I've even talked about you on a podcast before, but I was thinking about that just, you know, there's so many skeptics or people who believe or people who believe certain things and have opinions and all of that. But I did have to ask you one question before we dive into all other things. But as mother of the bride, what was your favorite moment of the day of being mother of the bride?
Starting point is 00:09:39 I think just watching her. Yeah. Just watching her beam and smile and just enjoy every moment and looking. like the princess that she is. Yeah. She really, I mean, Victoria's not into party. She doesn't like being the center of attention.
Starting point is 00:09:55 And to watch her flourish in that moment and to really take it all in and embrace it was that I think was the most beautiful moment. And she dedicated a song to me. Mama's song by Carrie Underwood. Oh my gosh. If you listen to it, bawling my eyes out. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I mean, there was so many. moments but you know really just watching her really enjoy her day you know she said it to me she goes mom she goes you would say to me all the time just enjoy it enjoy it and she says i'm so glad i did but i wish there was more i know that's what i hear too like it could buy so fast you yes there was more but that's good because of course that is the number one piece of advice that everyone gives us to be in the moment and just be present and enjoy everything and someone actually gave me the best advice they said when it comes to your day make it so that you feel like you're one of the guests. So, like, you interact with everybody, you have fun. You're not worried about everything.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Pretend that you're a guest at your own wedding. Yes. Yeah. I thought that was really special. And I think that's important. I think a lot of us, especially over this past year, have learned or trying to learn how to be present and to be in the moment and, you know, don't make things a big deal. Yes. You know, and just only worry about the things that you have control over. Yeah. So, and that's one of the things that I told her I said, you have the only thing you have control over is having a good time. Nothing else you have no good. Everything's done. Everything is done. Enjoy it. Yeah. That's a really good point. That's, um, keep it like simple on that day because you're right. Everything's already done. Actually, we were just at a diner for lunch and ran into my neighbor.
Starting point is 00:11:32 And she's been married, I think, for 50, wow. Years. 53 years. And we were like, give us like a, not, you know, like a tip or a secret or something. And she goes, keep it simple. Don't. Don't. You know, like, don't make anything more complicated than it has to be life. It's so complicated. Just keep that simple. And I was like, I don't like that advice. She's like, I met him how he was and I'm not going to change him.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Like, you know. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it was amazing. And I also wanted to know just because, you know, you're from, is it a small town where you're from? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Listen, I still live next door to my parents. So from where I grew up. So it's a small town. It's Hicksville. I live on Long Island. Long Island. I mean, Long Island, I guess, is big, but it's not that big, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:16 that's true it's i just find it interesting like i think i came from a small town and now going back it's like crazy that i went on the bachelor in the bacheloret and right people you have such an iconic look and everybody probably recognizes you and i was going to say like at the wedding or people just knowing you from before now does everyone just want a reading from you you know it's so funny it's like i walk into a room and it's like it's so interesting because sometimes i'll walk into room and i can just feel the energy and like everyone like talking to their loved ones that have died. And then other times, I walk into a space and people are just like, I just want to say hi. I want to thank you for doing what you're doing. I've learned so much when I, when I lost my
Starting point is 00:12:56 dad, you know, watching your show was really helped me or reading one of your books has really helped me. So that's what this is about. It's not about anything else. And I always say to people, you know, you had brought up the skeptics before, you know, and I always say, you know, it's hard to really understand something that we can't physically see, right, or physically touch or and I always find it interesting people that don't understand what I do. First of all, I respect it. I get it. I'm the first one to say what I do is absolutely crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:25 How can someone communicate with someone that has died? And there are a lot of things that Spirit might have me refer to to someone that might become and it be like, oh, of course everyone feels that way. But Spirit, the way I channel, they have to validate it with something completely unique to the person that they're speaking to. Like things that happened years ago, things that happened after they died. I like them to communicate with that personality, things that they experience. experience the way that they feel, and there would be no way that I could know that.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And I would say, it doesn't matter to me if someone believes in what I do. I want them to believe in an afterlife. I want them to believe that the things that are one around them, that they think that are weird or maybe a coincidence or odd, that it's not, that it's them saying, I refer to them as little hallows from heaven. So let us know that they're with us at that moment. Yeah, I love that. And I get those.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I get those often. I feel like I'm very connected in that way, not as much as you, of course, but like I do feel like some sort of I feel energies and certain things that's the thing everyone is connected with their own loved ones that's a bond that can never be broken I didn't realize until I was I mean I've been sensing insane spirits since I'm four I mean I legit thought it was normal to see people standing at the foot of your bed someone be in a room there's no one else in the room but yourself and you're having a conversation with someone I thought that was normal and growing up no one ever made a big deal about things that I would say and it wasn't until I was almost 30
Starting point is 00:14:46 that I realized that not only was I able to connect with my own departed loved ones, but everyone else is. And then, you know, then I struggled with my gift for over five years. I was like, well, this is great. You know, I'm blessed with this gift, but who's going to want to come and see a medium and speak to their relatives that have died? I could not understand that. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah. But what I learned is that, unfortunately, after we lose a loved one, we sometimes are left with burdens and gilts. We're left with a should have, a could have, a would have, and only if. And at the end of the day, all of those negative 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 journey is to help people move on with their lives after the loss of a loved one, then open the doors for me and I will walk through every one of them. And here I am. And you have, you have helped so many people in healing and like
Starting point is 00:15:39 it's magical to watch what you do because not only because of your gift, but how you can make people feel. it's I just loved watching you've been a new show coming out don't you or is it already out long island medium well well what's new for me is is my podcast um and I'm still doing live shows or is there like a new season new season yeah okay okay okay I mean yeah let's I figure first of all Caitlin it's still crazy that I've been on for 10 years I mean insane yeah and you know I appreciate I want to thank you and I appreciate it so much of folk for what you said because it means the world to me and to be able to watch and to feel it and to watch someone heal. I watched it today.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I read someone for long on the medium and I watched the transition over her fit. You can see it. And what a gift. What a gift. It really is. And that's the only perfect word to describe it is such a gift. And I some people wish they had it. Some people would never want it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 But I am like, I wish I had that gift. I think especially if you can use it in the way. that you do. I'm sure sometimes it can get extremely overwhelming or, you know, certain things like I feel like I've heard you answer this question before, but just for my listeners, can you shut it off? So I don't like to refer to it as shutting it off. Souls of the departed are always present. Whether someone needs to hear a message is a completely different story. So I already do feel there are already three souls that are present. present here already. I can
Starting point is 00:17:16 I can feel them. But there's one in particular that's extremely strong. I feel it's a younger soul. So what happens is spirit will, they will make me feel the bonds and relationship that you shared with them or how you knew them here in the physical world. And then
Starting point is 00:17:32 they will make me feel how they die. So they will like bring me through the departure. So I can see there's generation, so whether it's grandparents, but then there's a young soul that passed and they made me feel that there was a tragedy to the departure. So when Spirit hits me in the back of the head and I taste blood, that's my symbol for tragedy.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Wow. Hitting in the back of the head means that the soul departed immediately, that there was no suffering to the departure. But was there also a blow to the chest? Yes. Okay. Do you have a sister that departed or someone, she was closer to me than my old sister, yeah. Okay. But that was the bond in relationship.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Is that correct? Yes. She used the term, you guys were thick as thieves. Yes. Like, and the foot show me like two peas in a pod. Like I feel like everyone looked at you guys like goody two shoes. She goes, but you know what? We were bad to the bone.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I said no. She's like, oh yeah. Yes. Oh my gosh. That's so funny. Yes. So typically when Spirit shows me something when they, and this doesn't mean that she in a car accident, when Spirit puts me in a car and they switch my seat, it becomes
Starting point is 00:18:41 my symbol for where we carry. some type of like a survivor's guilt, meaning like if plans changed or, oh, my God, why didn't I drive that day or however that should have, could have would have goes, it's her validation of saying, I do not want you to carry that burden or guilt of feeling that if you were with me that day or at that moment, this never would have happened. yeah yeah i get that guilt a lot because i was supposed to be there so validating absolutely she says the she just took a quarter and flipped it that's my symbol for when spirit says i need you to look at the other side of the coin okay what if you were with me let's hypothetically say and you you
Starting point is 00:19:31 were driving mm-hmm validating that where would a burden or guilt lie then right it's just acknowledging we only look at that other side of the coin that that person still would be here. Is your dog doing weird things right now? Oh my God. I can't. Acting to the soul. Like, there's no reason for the dog to be barking.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Oh, my gosh. Okay, wait, that is so crazy because first of him, he's usually the chill one during the podcast and he started doing circles around. Robin, come here. Come here. He started doing circles around the room. Don't be mad at him.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I couldn't see him do circles, right? She told me he's sensing my energy. So that's, that bark was so perfect that I don't like shaking right now. You can't even make this up. You cannot even make that up. Like this is so out of character. You literally just said, is your dog doing something weird right now? And in that moment, he barked like right on cue.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Holy crap. Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay. Wait, this is so amazing. Because you have to understand. She made me feel like she's such a presence in your life that a lot of people know about her. Correct? Yes. Yes. So I said to her, well, then you need to go above and beyond. And then that's when she showed me the survivor's guilt. And then when she, I asked her to let you feel her. And then that's when the thing happened with the dog. So holy moly. Thank you for that because I was going to ask you if that person did come up. I was going to ask, it felt like she really wasn't coming through in a lot of ways for so many years. And her sister was always like, why is she not coming through? There would be little signs here and there, things that would definitely happen. And it wasn't until I started talking about her on. And look at what she had me right.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Timing is everything. Timing is everything. If I just got the goosebumps. I did too. I did too. That's this, you're sensing her soul. So what happens is a lot of times when we, when we receive messages, Spirit knows what we need at that moment. And she just made me feel like you never got the validation.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You got the validation of her presence, but you never got the validation of the survivor's guilt. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. that you needed to let that go. And because if you let that go, that doesn't mean that you forget about her. It means that you're letting go of emotions
Starting point is 00:22:16 so you can heal. Yeah. She just told me that you found something with her handwriting on it. Is that correct? Are you just looking at something with her handwriting on it? Yeah, because we wrote each other letters
Starting point is 00:22:27 and I still have one. So validating that when you look at it, when you come across it and validating that her soul is with you at that exact moment. Wow. I never, I know, I didn't see this. Did you guys grow up together?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like, yeah. Because she showed me, I'm probably going to date myself, because I'm sure they don't do this anymore. But like you would become like blood sisters. Like you would like cut and like mix your blood. And I'm like, I don't think they do that anymore. I'm like, we did that back in like the 60s and in the 70s. But we don't do that.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I don't think they do that anymore. So was there something? So I'm going to interpret it this way. Was there something that you guys said like either like a pinky promise or like where you made this sisterly bonds that only the two of you know about? Yes. We had a meeting spot between our houses. We grew up next door to each other. And then when we moved apart, we would have a middle ground where as soon as we got to that place, we had a specific handshake and three inside things that we would say. Perfect. So know that that is her way of validating also her presence. But more importantly, that timing is everything. Especially sometimes when we people say, how come I'm not dreaming of my loved one? I don't dream of my loved ones that have died. Not everyone connects with. spirit in the same way. And when signs and symbols happen, they happen when we're least expecting it. Wow. Can I tell you something? When I was on dancing and talking about her, I finished the dance
Starting point is 00:23:53 and I was really emotional. And then after, I said, I just hope she was like proud or something. A penny fell out of the girl besides me costume. And that's something that. So you're not going to believe this because I took I'm going to show you because it's right here in my purse so today is my grandmother's birthday and she always leads me dimes and I was working today in the city and I literally just got home 20 minutes and I went back in in my driver's car because I said oh I see a dime I think it's my grandmother and when I got there it's a penny I don't connect with pennies something made me take the penny and put it in my pocket okay now like my goosebumps hurt I always like look at years. Oh my. So let me see. Yeah. It says 2019. So I don't know if that
Starting point is 00:24:43 meant anything for you. But sometimes I connect with the year. But I legit, Lindsay, I went back, right? And I was like, she's like, why are you taking the penny? I'm like, and I legit said out let I go, I don't even connect with pennies, but it's a penny from heaven. This just happened 20 minutes ago. 20 minutes before we got on this podcast. I can everyone knows I connect with dimes and quarters. I don't connect with pennies. And I took this and said pennies from heaven. Oh, my freaking gosh. That is like the one thing that has been consistent over the years is where I find the penny. It's like, like, I'll be like, that is specifically there.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Like, the fact that it just fell out of this girl's costume beside me. And I was like, I was like, what did it? Did a penny just fall? And she was like, yeah, what the heck? I was like, I can't. The fact that you just did that. Holy. I mean, legit.
Starting point is 00:25:36 But these are the things that, you know, yes, people find change, right? People see butterflies, people see red cardinals. But it's at a moment and it's this feeling that you get. Yeah. It's this feeling that you get. And that is the difference. That is what people just have to embrace. And I always say to people, don't make such a big deal about it.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Like, just embrace it and take it for what it's worth. She was talking about, though, a baby. So is there someone in her family that had a baby or is having a baby? Her sister has two kids. Okay. Did her sister name a child after her form of a name, middle name, or thought about it? Yeah, middle name. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Validating that she held the souls before they walked here in the physical world and that she does know of the children and watches over. Wow. How do you connect with the tree? Was there a tree or something that or a bench that was done in memory or in honor of her that we thought about doing? There was a bench. Okay. Validating that her soul knows, more importantly, is a part of everyone's life in every moment.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I don't know why she's showing me puzzles. So was there something with puzzles? I don't know if that's something. I mean, I love puzzles. Oh, you did? Oh, okay. They legit showed me, Victoria. I have puzzles all downstairs that we have to find.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I don't know what she's doing with them, but she buys puzzles and then I have to frame them. And she says she's going to hang them in her house. Meanwhile, it doesn't look like they're going anywhere. They look like they're going anywhere. It's something that I do for my anxiety is puzzles. That's what Victoria does too. Really? Yes. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yes. So my thing, I need to always validate with something completely unique because my job as a medium is just to validate that I'm interpreting the information correctly. Right. Not that I have to understand or get deep dark secrets. I don't care. It's just validating. to give healing messages. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:36 She just told me that you will be blessed with children. Oh, good. And you're going to be a great, you're going to be your great mom. Oh, that makes me so happy because I, you know, I'm turning 36 and I'm late to the game. She just said to me, she goes, Teresa, can we just talk about something for a minute? And she's got like this attitude. So like, Caitlin, really? Like, she goes, I am such a better dancer than her.
Starting point is 00:28:00 she's like i would have kicked her ass on dancing with the stars she goes i would have been the professional dancer dancing against her and she's like legit like arguing with me she's like there's no way oh guys that is so her and she loved dancing it was we danced together growing up oh she keeps showing me like bell bottoms so i don't know like if she loved like that kind of music like the 70s no that was our costumes oh perfect Oh, and you have the picture she just showed me. Which, which one? The picture of the day.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, it's a purple body suit with dance question with bell bottoms. And that's something that people don't know where it's not public. Is that correct? No. No, no. So I needed that because, again, if it's something that you talked about publicly about her being a dancer, I needed her to validate it. Yeah. And now she's like, you're tough. She's like, you're tough.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Like, you're being hard on me. I'm like, I'm not. I'm just, it's not. And it's like, it's not my fault that she's famous and she talks about me. I'm like, but that would be her personality, right? Yes, 1,000 percent, so bubbly, so funny, so much attitude. You have the tattoo in memory of her? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:11 With a matching tattoo where you guys were getting a matching tattoo. Me and her sister and our best friend have a matching tattoo. Oh, perfect. Validating that she knows and more importantly, her soul was with you. And whenever you look at it, when you got it, knowing that her soul was with you at that exact moment. Wow. Did you just get, like, new furniture or something? I mean, I do all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Oh, so she's like, ask her why she just got that chair. Really? Oh, my gosh. I wonder if it's because it was white and Jason was giving me crap for it because of the dogs. Probably. She goes, just ask her about the chair. That's so funny. So there are things that no one would know about.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Right, right, right. So validating for you. you that her soul is with you. But more importantly, the more we let go of the burdens or their guilt or these should, anything negative that we attach ourselves to a departure, the more signs, the more you'll be able to embrace her and see her. One more thing. I don't know if it's you or one of her siblings.
Starting point is 00:30:17 She put me in a store and I felt like I saw someone that looked exactly like her. Like walk, like everything. Well, everyone called us the bobsy twins. Oh. Well, so let me explain my symbol. So it could be just that. But more importantly, because I felt like she showed her soul to you. She showed herself to you.
Starting point is 00:30:38 So sometimes they'll show it to me in a dream. But then when they put me in a Home Depot, which is probably a store that you will never find me in. Right. Let me do. Because I have a different kind of nails. But anyway, it's my symbol for where we see someone that looks exactly like our loved one that has died.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And for that split second, we feel it we know it and then all of a sudden you're like oh no wait a minute that's not them i haven't got that only so okay ask ask what you know someone in her family because it might not be for you because i do you know how pissed my sisters are going to be like it's like did you say anything about me what you say about me yeah yeah that's because her sister has always said like she wants her to just you know i think constantly be around or come through or leave so maybe tell her to like kind of put it in her hands and it's just anything that is odd or weird one more thing she just put the radio on for me and then change the channel that's my symbol
Starting point is 00:31:39 for that when we hear a song on the radio that reminds us of our departed loved one it's not a current top 40 hit we're not playing it on purpose we change the channel we turn it on it's validating it's their soul getting us to do that at that exact moment and validating that they're with us okay I love that so much. Wow. Okay, anything else you can just butt in and tell me anything because I love this stuff so much. I'm still freaking over the dog in the chair, by the way. You know, it was perfect. I was like, and in my head, I'm going, okay, dog, stop doing circles like, I'm trying to podcast. And now I'm like, okay, that's validating. Right. Oh, God. Oh, that was awesome. She, okay, I actually have a question about this because the very first time, it was actually very shortly after she passed. I was watching home video. of us and we were dancing and being funny and I started crying and the tape because this was that long it was watching stopped yes and spat out and um my mom and I were like oh my gosh and so we put it back in and as soon as I started crying it stopped and spat out again and then I think
Starting point is 00:32:47 it was like four times this happened and when I just watched it come it stayed playing it was her saying uni if you're going to watch this I don't want you crying yeah she told she just told me like she plays with the lights like she's able to her energy she's able to create you know playing with electronics or yeah those things aren't a coincidence and you can't make it up no there's she actually said to me in a dream to wake up one time she said wake up and she was in its big white dress in the middle of a grocery store and I was like wait what why and I woke up and I was so tired I wanted to go back to sleep but I went upstairs and my mom had left a burner cover on the burner and it was on and there's smoke coming out of the oven.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Wow. I was like, oh my gosh, she told me to wake up. And she saved you from probably burning your house down or your mom burning a house down. And then my other question was, oftentimes she's in my dreams, but she doesn't know that she is past. Is that anything or is that just my personal? It's your, because what happens is when you have a dream, okay, there's a different thing. between a dream and a visitation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So when it becomes a visitation is when you remember them vividly, right? Yeah. And when they act as if they're not gone, it's usually recalling a memory or the way that you were or the things that you were doing, correct? Yeah. That's a visitation. And that's her way of saying, this is what I want you to remember. I don't want you to remember all the negative things.
Starting point is 00:34:19 This is how I want you to remember us. So when you feel bad or sad or beat yourself. up. I want you to replace it with this memory. Yeah. With this. Okay. Okay. I needed to know that. Thank you. Yeah. And then I don't know, I know, like, you know, there's obviously no pressure for you to always be reading and stuff. But the two other spirits are they? Yeah. I saw that that there was a father figure. So I don't know if it was a grandfather or father-in-law. I don't know if it's someone connected to Jason. Oh. Well, it would probably be my grandfather. Okay. I'm guessing. They removed me to the other side. So like the other side of the family, that's why I just asked about Jason. So whether it be dad's like, is there a grandmother also that's departed as well? Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Okay. So just so that they step forward, okay, validating their presence. And who do you smell them, like whether if you smell their cologne or like cigarette smoke? I smell my grandma. Okay. So know that that's validating, that that's her. That's the way you connect with her. Because when Spirit shows me, Gardinia's, that's just my symbol for that you smell a mother figure,
Starting point is 00:35:23 No matter what it is, there's no reason why you should be smelling it at that moment. And you know it's that instinct that you know that it's her, validating that that truly is her. Did you not to get to say goodbye to her? I did not. Because she said, please tell her that nothing was left unsaid. Okay. That sounds right. And no regrets.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah. No regrets. That would be something she would say. You know, it's almost like I would swear like if that was your mom, like that's how close you were. with her, is that correct? Yes. And then she showed me, and again, this is typically something that a parent would show me if a child loses their parents at a young age, like they'll show me them going away to college, going out with their friends, and then them dying. And that's the symbol of saying, no regrets. I would not have wanted you to make any different choices,
Starting point is 00:36:11 decisions, whatever it is, to have come and saw me that weekend, whatever it is, no regrets. Okay. I don't want you. A lot of times we don't look at it of a fact of that they would not want us to remember them in that way either. Yeah. And who had the issue with the legs because they started jumping up and down and started dancing. So that's my symbol for that they're not restricted anymore, that the moment the soul left the physical body, they left behind every and any disability and or ailment. Well, I just, it sounds like my grandpa to get up and do that, but he was, he was pretty, all of my grandparents were pretty active. He just had bad hips and. Okay. So he doesn't have that
Starting point is 00:36:52 anymore. But he would be jumping up and down dancing. And who had the issue with the brain or couldn't communicate in the end? My grandma. Okay. Validating, not wanting you to remember her in that way. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Do you have her ring? Or is there something about her ring or your mom? My mom does. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. My mom has a bunch of her rings. She goes, just ask her why she doesn't wear them. Wait, that's so funny because my mom. on FaceTime the other day just pulled out like a bag of all of my grandma's rings that she had. And they're just sitting in a bag. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So validating that her soul was present while you and your mom were FaceTiming at that moment. Like those are the little things that, you know, whether someone believe or say, oh, well, of course she lost her grandparents or we all know that she lost her friend. Okay. But all these little details that are so specific, no way I could find. out. Right. It's spirit. It is their soul saying yes. Everything, Caitlin, that you're sensing and feeling is real. Yeah. And it's us. And it's us. Yeah. I always want to know if there's, because I feel like it's a gift. So obviously I can't just like, you know, be there and communicate all of a sudden. But I do feel certain presences or smells or energy. Like I really
Starting point is 00:38:15 feel energies. I can feel footsteps around me sometimes. I can just feel certain things. And I just always want to know if there's a way to open that up even more or if that's just where it stops. You know, everyone is different. Sometimes I tell people, be careful what you wish for. That's very true. You know, this is, I, I always say, I don't mean to quote Lady Gaga, but I was born this way. I don't know any different because I would always say to my, my mom growing up, I feel different than everyone else. I feel like I don't belong here. And my mom would say, stop feeling that way. You know, you're not adopted. You know, you belong in this family. there's nothing wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And it wasn't until I embraced my gift when I felt complete. Yeah. So I always tell people, you know, we're always learning in life. We're always growing. Of course we can grow spiritually, you know, maybe through meditation. But I think for you, I felt like that you're in such a good place of where you're getting the signs. And they say it's also validating because they're so happy for you, that they want you to know that they're with you. step of the way because when the time comes is what they're showing me are big huge milestones
Starting point is 00:39:26 in your life where you feel them the most yes yes I think that if you want to just kind of maybe open up a little bit more if you wanted to through meditation you can actually imagine your third eye opening but I feel like you're in a really good place of really knowing um so your grandmother just said start writing things down so do you feel the need to write sometimes yes know that that's them nudging you because you might be channeling I refer to It was like automatic writing. So I used to do that while I was learning my gift, understanding my gift. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Because it was easier to channel through the pen. Now that I understand why they're making me feel certain things, why they show me certain things, that can be a way of also communicating your grandmother that just showed me start writing. Okay. That's so good to know because I always think to do that and never do. And I always get mad at myself because I was like, why didn't I just write it down? Yeah, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:16 You can't because, again, it was exactly what we talked about before. Timing is everything. Mm-hmm. You're right. And I do love that. Like, I think about that with sometimes worrying about what, if I can have kids or when I'm going to have kids. So the fact that my friend who's past said, like, timing's everything and that she does see kids. And like, I love that so much. Because I am such a believer in the timing and everything happening for reason. I mean, it's just proven over over in my life to be true of why things happen. Right. I feel very validated, which is why you have such a gift. And that's why people love watching you is because you, you give people just so much peace. And obviously in the times that we're living in, people need that. That was another question I wanted to ask you, just given the time of COVID, like had readings the energy shifted or you said today you just did one with somebody who's lost somebody from COVID, but that just must be a whole other way of communicating now or different energy now. You know, COVID, it was very unfortunate because so many people lost so many people
Starting point is 00:41:27 and they didn't know what happened. Right. And this last season of Long Island Medium that we did, which was on Discovery Plus now, the thing that I loved about this past season was there were people that I channeled that that died from COVID. And I'll never forget this one reading where this mother came through to her daughter and said, you know, I heard everything. The nurse would come in and hold my hand and told me that you called and that you told me about this song and that how much you loved me and that I was going to be okay. And the lady said to me, she says, I did ask the nurse to do those things and I never knew if she really did tell her that. And I think it also showed a different side of how, you know, we all talk about frontline workers, right? How they really stepped up and put
Starting point is 00:42:13 their lives on the line for us. But what they had to go through, holding up phones so people could say goodbye to their loved ones, you know, and that is a gift that I have is to validate that their souls are safe and a peace, that they're not suffering, that they're not upset or disappointed that they couldn't be with us. Right. I know a lot of people don't realize this, but 20 years ago is when I embraced my gift. It was right after 9-11. Wow. And it happened because I was pushed from spirit and saying a lot of people don't know what happened to their loved ones. Wow. They need to know that they're okay, that they're not suffering. And here we are 20 years later.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And I always remember my grandmother saying, you know, history repeats itself, right? But in such a different way of where once again, it was like we were attacked, right? By this virus and it just took away so much, but we lost so much. Not only lives, people lost everything. Everything businesses. And here's the other thing, Caitlin, a lot of people don't know, in October of 2020. 20. It was always scheduled to come out. I wrote a book called Good Morning, M-O-U-R and I-N-G. And it was about, the book was about a loss as a loss. And I wrote this book two years prior to COVID on how we lose, we mourn everything in our life. And we don't realize it. We grieve an argument. We mourn, you know, retirement, losing a job, losing a home. And here it is over this past year. We've all lost something. Wow. And that book came out in October.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Wow. Yeah. And the premise was a loss is a loss. And it needs to be bad to be validated on how these losses and how many people were like, I didn't realize. Yeah. You know what? I am. I'm, I'm warning this argument. Warning a friendship. And you know, I don't think people realize my gift has so much more to offer of just me channeling people that have died. Yeah. It has really. united families it has restored people's faith you know whether it be a religion or just faith in themselves in their family yeah it's so much more than that and it gives us also the peace and the comfort that we deserve and more importantly that we need wow that's beautifully said because i mean for i always wanted to know what people think or say to people who are skeptic but i also wanted to ask you which basically you just answered was was there anything that you always wanted to share with people that they don't know about you or that, you know, that was a really good example that it is more than that. And that's, that's such a beautiful
Starting point is 00:44:53 thing. You've probably seen so many, you know, people just in their healing process, which is amazing. It's to watch someone's physical appearance and to feel their soul start to heal is something amazing. What I do is not easy. It is the hardest thing that I have to do is to feel someone's pain, sorrow, loss, and grief, and then try to give them the gift of laughter because that's what their loved ones want them to do. It's the hardest thing that I have to do. I wouldn't trade what I do for anything in the world. I consider it such an honor and a privilege to channel the souls of the departed. And the fact that people trust me with the souls of their departed loved ones is such a gift in itself. And, you know, it's not about believing in mediums.
Starting point is 00:45:39 I want people to believe in themselves. I always think this has nothing to do. do with me yeah i i i didn't give you the gift today that was from your loved ones right i just did my job and just delivering the messages right now it's up to you to take them and apply them in your healing process yeah absolutely uh i just love i wish i wish for everyone that they because everyone has suffered some sort of loss and it it really is such a like anytime i you know have gone through that my first instinct for me is to like speak to a medium because i do find so much peace in that. So, yeah, it's, it really is such a gift.
Starting point is 00:46:18 And, and, and, you know, a lot of people became so, you know, COVID was just, is a whole different category of losing someone because here we were, we weren't able to lay them to rest the way that we would have wanted to. And the thing that spirit has come through time and time again, I don't know why I'm saying this. Maybe there is one of your listeners that lost someone to COVID. Spirit has said for years, from the moment the soul leaves the physical body, they leave behind every disability and or ailment what we do with the physical body is for us not to be
Starting point is 00:46:49 cold or rude but they don't care because they're not a part of the physical body anymore right so even though we weren't able to lay them to rest the way that we wanted to their soul is at peace and safe with god right and that's that's such a comforting thing to even think you know there's you have to find certain things that you can look for comfort in and that is truly one of them I wanted to ask you, if one, do you have any sort of connection with animals? Oh, yeah, pets come through. Pets do come through. Pets come through dogs.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I had one time a guy, talk about a skeptic, him and his sister, this is years ago, had come to, I was doing readings, large group readings. And he sat there with his arms folded and he wasn't buying anything. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I go, well, your mother's telling me that she has, like a pet ferret. Stevie with her. Well, I thought he was going to fall off his chair. It wasn't a ferret.
Starting point is 00:47:46 It was a squirrel. And his mom, they were building an extension, and it ended up that this baby squirrel got trapped in the extension. And the mom took the squirrel in and named it Stevie. Stop. When the mom was, when the squirrel died and the mom, they had them cremated and they're sitting on the mantel with pictures of the squirrel. And the, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah. He's like, I'm a believer. I'm a believer. No one knows about Stevie. I'm like, that did it for you, the squirrel? Yeah, I mean, that would do it for somebody, I think, knowing a, like, a little rodent named Stevie, the fact that then the mom was holding it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Oh, that's crazy. I always, I, because I do, I mean, animals have souls. And so I did wonder if, and how do they communicate? Just, do you just, like, how do they do it? So because I don't hear the way we hear in the. physical world, it's more of a feeling, a knowing, and signs and symbols of things that I've experienced. So people will ask if they never spoke another language, I'm able to communicate with them. So a lot of times with animals, they will make me feel that someone lost a child
Starting point is 00:48:55 because their animal is like their child. And they'll show me very specific things, whether how they died, if they had to put them down, if they still have certain articles of the animal. So it is very, very interesting. It just validates that a soul is a soul and a bond is a bond. Exactly. Yes. And then have you ever had any experiences where you have felt scared? Usually just in my everyday life, not when I'm channeling the dead. I'm scared when I look in the mirror in the morning. That's the most scariest thing. You are stunning. Oh my gosh. No, you know, it did. There was a moment. Not that I was scared. It was overwhelming because again, I thought, I mean, as a child, I was scared because I didn't
Starting point is 00:49:40 know what was happening. Right. But as my gift started to grow, I can remember. This is why I don't see the souls like we see here in the physical world. That's why I see shadows and silhouettes because I'd be brushing my teeth in the morning getting ready for work. I'd look up. There'd be a man standing behind me and I wouldn't know who it was. One time, I could have sworn there was a man looking in my kitchen window. Wow. And when the woman came in, I described the man. I was like, did your brother, you know, a look like the brawny paper towel guy? She's like, oh my God. She's like we used to call him that and I was like well he was meeping in my window before you came and then I was like you guys you can't show me yourself like this anymore because it was
Starting point is 00:50:18 scary yeah I felt like I was starting to go crazy because I was just like seeing things like and it was just so more intense than it was when I was a child yeah that was so I just opened everything up so much and people were coming and and I have to say I'm never really scared because I know that I'm protected by spirit and that if a soul is coming through, it's for healing purposes. Yeah, that's a good point. Listen, and there's some pretty scary things. I shouldn't use the word scary.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Some uncomfortable things that I might have to say or the way someone that has died, you know, it's not easy. But I love how spirit has allowed me to find a way to deliver these hard messages with dignity and grace. Absolutely. Yeah. And I take a lot of pride in that. Yeah, as you should. Yeah, absolutely. Because I'll never say, you know, there's a lot of times where things are very sensitive and people might not want to talk about it. So I respect that. And I always say, listen, I don't need to know the nitty gritty. I just need to know basic stuff. I don't care. I don't need to know the whole story. You just need to validate it so you know that your soul is at peace. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I know you have your podcast, which is amazing. I've heard you speak about past life, and I wanted to kind of maybe have you help explain that to me and to our listeners. Sure. So a lot of times I had like a lot of anxiety and fears that there was no reason for. And I had gone back and did past life progression. So what that is it is like a guided meditation
Starting point is 00:51:54 where you're able to go back into past lives. Of your own? Of your own. Okay. So I've done it several times. So I'll give you an example of one of my past lives. I was a young boy and I was searching for someone. I was, I was looking for my brother. And he was, I thought he was in this house that was burning and I was able to get him out. And the woman that was doing the past life progression, she said, I want you to look into the eyes of your brother in this life. And I, she goes, who do you see? And I said, I see my nephew. So it validates on how our soul circle is. I mean, listen, we're getting really deep now, Caitlin. I mean, this is really deep. So it validates. the soul circle. So, you know, when you just feel like you've been connected with someone
Starting point is 00:52:39 and you live many lives with them, like that's a soulmate, like someone that you, so in a previous life, I was my nephew's brother. And the story, which was so funny about that was years before that, unfortunately, my sister-in-law had lost her dad before my nephew was born. And one day my brother called me up and he says, Jason is singing dead people in the closet and it's all your fault. And he hung up on me. And I'm like, how was this my friend? And I pulled him back and I said, show him a picture of Karinda's dad. And he was like, that's the man that was in the closet. No way.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. So that's my cousin. My cousin's little who's about to turn three has the gift. Like that's Bryant. Yeah. She said, and she wrote all of it down the other day because her grandpa, not mine. It was on the other side. Oh, that might have been why I felt removed with the grandfather when I said the other
Starting point is 00:53:35 because I felt removed also. I wonder if something happened with his legs. Yeah. Well, it could just also just be a validation of the soul. Right. So what happens is young children, animals, like your golden retriever just, you know, proved to us that they, the reason why they're so sensitive or they connect easier than we can because their minds are clear. Right. They're not bog. We make excuses. You know, like if we see a shadow, we're like, oh, I'm saying things. I'm tired. Right. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Or we've been told that isn't real. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Right. Yeah. So for what was that old saying? Kids say the darnedest things. Yeah. It's so true. And sometimes they grow out of it and sometimes they don't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:17 I think my cousin would do a really good job at like, you know, helping that along the way instead of stopping it. And she got, she got a pen paper and she wrote things down. And then she showed a picture and he pointed to that man. And it was, it was, yeah. And he had never. met the grandpa. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that is probably an age where you start to be able to express those kinds of
Starting point is 00:54:41 things. Like, okay, you're obviously very close to your parents because you live right next door to them. What was their response when you had these thoughts or were you able to even communicate that? My dad is still very skittish about the whole thing. He'll be like, you know, he'll be like, shoe, shoe, spirit go away. Like he gets like very skittish.
Starting point is 00:55:00 He gets very freaked out my dad. I also share with people because people also want to know I am Catholic. And I do have a very strong faith. And I learned how to incorporate that with my gift. There also was the story of when I was 16, when my dad's mom had just passed. And we were at her house after the funeral. This is something that people don't know. Probably.
Starting point is 00:55:19 So maybe this is one of my confessions. There you go. That was next anyways. I was talking to the drapes. And my cousin was like, Teresa, who are you talking to? I'm like, I'm talking to nanny. He's like, you're freaking talking to the drapes. and nanny is dead.
Starting point is 00:55:35 And he walked away from me. I'm like, Nanny. I'm like, and then I think the lights flickered, you know. Oh my gosh. But no one ever made a really big deal about it.
Starting point is 00:55:43 They just, they, they would, they just embraced it. Or would like make like little jokes. That, you know, yeah. Okay,
Starting point is 00:55:51 this just reminded me. You said the lights flickered. And then earlier when we were talking about my girlfriend, you said, yes, she'd do, do things with the lights. I was having an emotional week
Starting point is 00:56:00 because I hadn't focused so much on her as a person and the tragic passing and the song and everything. And I laid in my shower one night. I just lay there with the warm water coming down on me. And I was thinking about it. And I put on that song. And I asked for a sign and the lights shut off. Like within five seconds of me and I just sat up. And I'm not going to lie. I did have like two glasses of wine, but not enough for me to be like hallucinating. I just sat up and I went, oh my gosh, it worked. Like. Yeah. And I called, I screamed for Jason and he came in and he couldn't turn the lights back on. And it wasn't in any other part of the room in the house. You could turn on every other light. But in that room, we couldn't get the lights. And I literally said it out loud. And in five seconds, the lights shut off.
Starting point is 00:56:52 It was crazy. Oh, my gosh. I just remember that right now now. And I just started like happy crying because I was just so thankful that she had done that. oh well listen for your listeners now please don't be saying to your loved ones i know it's you if by saturday i see 10 red cardinals or hummingbirds and two red you know it doesn't work like that you're like you you know it worked for you in that moment but mostly the signs and symbols are when you ask like oh you show me a sign and what you know they come when we're least expecting it
Starting point is 00:57:24 yeah because i'd ask for so many signs before that that's why i was like it worked but yeah you're right yeah don't don't think we're over here like telling lies if you have ask for yeah signs that it doesn't happen just be open to recognizing things that are like wait that's weird like why is that happening that should not be happening right right um speaking of confessions i guess you have to give me the one that you were thinking of before that oh i have to confess that when my son was a teenager you know they would all go out and drink and he would think he'd be getting one over on me i'd be like listen I got friends watching you.
Starting point is 00:58:05 You're not going to see them, but they're watching you. And I think literally, like, he believed me. Yeah. I would. That's how my son grew up. My mom talks to the dead. Right. So I'd be like, I got my friends are watching you.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Gosh, I'm going to, like, really channel my skills here and use that for parenting. That's amazing. I like that. But I loved, and you wouldn't believe this, but I loved, and I've never, ever shared this. with someone doing ceramics. Oh, really? I love ceramics. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Yeah. That's cute, though. That's cute. It is cute. That's not embarrassing. That's cute. I used to do it every week with my aunt and my grandmother and my mom. We used to go every Saturday.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Oh. And we used to go bowling and ceramics. That's amazing. Yeah. That's also really special. Okay, I have one more game for you and then I'll leave you. Uh-oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I'm going to put your powers to the test. No, I'm just kidding. I already know that your gift is... Like they haven't been tested already? Yeah, seriously. But it's just giving you two truths and a lie and you have to guess which one is the lie. I am terrible at stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I'm trying to tell the truth. And I'm like, yeah, but you wouldn't know, like, you know, and they're all in the same category. Okay, so two truths and a lie. Okay. One, I connected with a cat who had passed when I lived in Newfoundland. I'll say that's true. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Two. One time I asked for a spirit to come through to prove to an X that you can ask for that. And in the middle of the night, the TV turned on and went up full blast. Okay. And three, I came up with the whole idea of podcasting and both segments when a spirit came to me in the dream and gave me the idea. Okay. Well, honestly, I believe all of them. I think they are all true.
Starting point is 00:59:58 And you're, like, that you're like making up that one is false. One is false, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't put it past me. I don't know. Maybe, maybe the first one is false. No, it's true. Oh, I did say true. You did. I'm still sticking with my thing, Caitlin.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I'm sorry, they're all freaking true. I do have, I do have people come to me in dreams and come up with song ideas, which is really crazy. that's why I just twisted it but to make it a lie So you really are close It really isn't a lie That's not a lie Because I know that that can happen
Starting point is 01:00:34 That's true I remember every time If I'm in a place Of such relaxation Where I'm about to fall asleep This is when I will feel Either footsteps around me Or in when I lived in Newfoundland
Starting point is 01:00:46 I was in a very very old house And every time I was laying in this bed I would feel pouncing on my bed Like certain things just like it felt like a cat just pouncing on me, almost once a week. Did you also see the woman in the house? I heard one.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Okay. Just to validate that all of those three questions were true. None of them was a lie. Oh my gosh. I knew it. Yeah. And she must have had a cat. She must have had a cat.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Because it was like very specific two pop pouncing. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Interesting. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Last. But one, I just want to say one thing, you know, you said, you know, when you before you fall asleep. Yeah. That's when spirit comes to us the most is because when our minds are at rest. Yeah. So a lot of times it's either when we're falling asleep, waking up, a lot of times in the shower or when we do mindless tests, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Low drying our hair, vacuuming because our minds are at rest. Yes. So just if you're out there listening now and you want to connect more, just pay attention to those little things that go on around you. That's all. Yeah, that's so true. It is about that. You're right.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Okay, this is my last one for you. This one's funny because my listeners will know the truth's and the lie, but you don't. Oh, God. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, one, I have my nipple pierced. Two, I have 10 tattoos.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Or three, I've had one of my inappropriate tattoos covered up. Where is Victoria when you need her? Victoria! Yes, totally. She'd be like, up truth. Wait, she's coming. Can you tell me what is true or false?
Starting point is 01:02:28 I have no pants on. Okay, that's okay. It's a podcast. Don't worry. Here, put this in your ear and listen to which one is false. I am going to be so surprised if you know. So I'm doing two truths and a lie. And I'm saying you have to guess what the lie is.
Starting point is 01:02:43 So about you? Yeah. So I'm going to tell you three things. One is a lie. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:49 One, I have my nipple pierced. Two, I have 10 tattoos. and three, I've had one of my inappropriate tattoos covered up. This is really hard because you definitely have 10 tattoos. I think she had an inappropriate one covered up. She definitely has a nipple pierce for sure. Yeah, so I would say you would have the inappropriate one covered up. That is the lie.
Starting point is 01:03:11 So you're right. The two are true and that is the lie. Good job. That's a fun game. Is there another one? No, no more. Okay, fine. There's one more.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I'll do it because you're on here. Okay. Okay. So two truths and a lie. Here are three of the ones you have to guess. Which one's the lie? Okay. I have taken my dogs to a medium before. My dogs both bark in specific areas of the house or I think ramen is reincarnated. I think they're all true except the first one. Yeah. I think you think Roman's reincarnated. Definitely. And you. I don't think she took our dogs to a medium. I don't know. I feel like she would. She just sets a mediums. Yeah. But I feel like they also bark at random things, too. So like, because it clearly happened five minutes ago. Yeah. None of them alive.
Starting point is 01:04:02 No, the, the dog's barking in one specific area doesn't happen. Even though it did today, that's why it was so crazy. So it's technically not a lie. It did happen. The door barked uncontrollably. Oh my gosh. You too. I wish we all lived closer because I would come on over there any day of the week.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Well, you're more than welcome. Oh, I'm coming. I'm coming. Anytime you're in Nashville. Nashville? Yeah.
