I'm Intuitive. Now What?

And I've said this before, we're all intuitive. People have different levels and layers of what their intuition looks like. Today we're going to talk about being very honest about what your gift is, what your capabilities are and what you should do with it, whether you should make it a profession. Maybe it's something you just incorporate in your everyday walk at work, dealing with family. So I want to try to define or help you guys define today what this ability is that I have and what I should do with it.

What you really believe psychic intuitive, work is. Missy, tell me why you thought this was a good idea.

I've shared this story so many times with other people because I get the question, and I'm sure you do too, of, well, how did you get started in this? And it wasn't like I woke up one day and I said, gosh, you know, I'm really good at guessing things like, you know, oh, coincidences. Or I, hey, I have really good discernment. You know, my my bull crap meter is really, really good. Or, I can read people or it's not that simple. I wish it was that simple, but being in the corporate world, let me tell you, this is not easier. That's the spoiler alert. This is not easier being a psychic intuitive and a medium and being ready to hold the weight of other people's healing, being called to use professionally. So it really was through my reading with you that you said, Hey, you know, in three to five years, you're not going to be doing this anymore. And I said, what's this?

And you said the corporate world. And I think at the time it was a relief, but I still didn't understand how I was going to be utilizing my gifts moving forward because they had just been revealed to me. And I was still learning what clairaudient meant, what clairsentient meant, what clairvoyancy was, what claircognizance was, what even mediumship was. But, I guess I was at a point in my life where I was so unhappy in the corporate world that I figured, what do I have to lose? Let me see where this journey can take me and just learning to surrender.

And that's the biggest, I think for me, was about surrendering and trusting that I am being called into this work. Like, it was so undeniable. It's more than just having the gift. It's more than not wanting to be in a traditional job. It's more than wanting freedom. It's more than wanting, you know, to help people. It is the ability to hold these gifts in reverence, not in ego. And, you know, learning what the the difference is. It has not been easy. You know that.

It has not been an easy journey for me, even though I know that I am gifted And I know that I'm supposed to do this work, but it's been an uphill , downhill, uphill, downhill, an emotional roller coaster days that I call I'd call you crying because I didn't understand what was happening or where I was supposed to be, what I was supposed to be doing. Does that make sense to you?

I know what you don't want to do, but we're telling you, you have to do this. And so there were those moments where I was like, wow, what, what was it that made me do that? Right. I just, I just kept seeing little nuggets. I call it like, Hansel and Gretel.

Like I just kept getting breadcrumbs and I'd grab one and then I'd follow the next and I'd follow the next. But when I really had an inkling, I went to someone who I didn't even realize wasn't intuitive. He was like a supplement guy. He literally said to me, you have no idea how special you are. It's all he kept saying.

And then he proceeded to talk about what's going on with my kidneys. He had no medical information, which is what makes him so amazing. And then he said, you had to let go of your life. You had to move. He just started saying all these things about my life.

And when he kept saying, you know, you're so special in about three years, you're going to learn what I mean by that. And I can look back now and it's like, if he had said to me in three years, you're going to realize that you're a psychic intuitive and you're going to quit corporate America and you're going to help others. All he kept saying is you're going to help thousands and thousands and thousands of people and you're going to change their lives. And I remember thinking, God, well, am I going to go back to performing? Maybe I will go back to New York.

Like I was going through all these things and it was right around 2009 is when it hit me. I looked at his notes and I went back and I was like, holy cow. What he was trying to say to me was you are going to be a psychic intuitive. That's going to help thousands and thousands and thousands of people. And you're nowhere near your life's purpose.

At that time, I wasn't living my life's purpose. And so when I had that to hold onto, and then I started to see the psychic abilities coming through, And I went through a very tumultuous time in my life where I had no choice but to sit still and listen to the voice of God. And it was so clear to me. And then it was like the floodgates, Boom, boom, boom. And then my friend, Jenna, she was my biggest cheerleader.

She was like, you've got this. Like, I'm telling you, you got this. And she would call me and I'd pull cards for her. And then I shared with a family member and I would pull cards for her and it was all fun and games until one day Jennifer said to me, I'm going to get you a client and I'm going see what you can do with it. And I was like, what?

No, I'm scared. And I did it. My first paid client. I know her name. I won't say her name out loud, but I knew right then and they're like, oh my gosh, like this is going to be a career.

And I remember having my calendar, it was just like a monthly calendar and I got it specifically for readings and I'd have one client for the month of February. And I was like, so excited. Then the next month I've had three. I was so excited. And then the next month I'd have one and I was still excited because I could not believe that people were willing to pay me for what I was doing.

And then I would pray and I'd say, listen, by next year, I'm going to have five a month. Like I put that on myself. And I remember looking at my calendar and thinking there's going to be a day where I'm going to be booked. And within two years it happened. What I want to also share is that not everybody's going to have that story where Missy, you had me to tell you, right?

I had my friend, Jennifer, who motivated me. There are a lot of people that don't have that. And they're wondering, do I have what it takes? And this is why I think this episode is really going to change. And I am going to use the word lives.

It's going to change lives because there are a lot of people that I'm sure that are listening who think it's just a hobby and they should be doing something with it. And then you've got people like I had a client who insisted that she was absolutely fabulous. I am fabulous when I pull cards. She used the word amazing. And Spirit was like, she has no business doing readings.

I'm carrying on a conversation with them like, they just missed the receptionist desk at my office. How'd they get back to me? No, I came directly to you. You need to take me to my niece. I'm here to see her.

Me walking in like plain as day, Hey, your aunt Eloise is here. I don't know how she got to my desk. And seeing my coworker's eyes get really big and go, What are you talking about? My aunt Eloise is dead. And then the smack upside the head was, Oh my God. What am I? Holy moly. What am I doing? This is unbelievable. And then having to explain to her, Well, see three days ago I was Missy. Now I'm a medium, you know?

That's how it felt to me. And I was trying to hang on for dear life. And I'm trying to understand what the Clair's meaning, how I'm using it, what I'm seeing, what I'm hearing. I had, like, I literally had no clue. That's why everyone that kind of has intuition or we all again, we've said everyone has it, but it comes to us just differently.

And mine unraveled in such a a magnificent way that it was undeniable. I knew that this is what was supposed to happen in my life. And you're right. There was something on the tip of my tongue two weeks previous. I'm crying out to God going, I know this is not what you have meant for my life.

I cannot sit behind this desk. I'm gonna rot. I know you have a bigger plan for me. I don't know what it is, but you better figure it out because I know there's something more that is meant for me. And then all the things that fell into place for me to even meet you and to have the reading with you. And then I always say, you changed the trajectory of my life. In that phone call, that's how quickly it had changed, but it was so undeniable. And I mentioned kinda looking back over my life, and I was looking for examples of ways that intuition showed up for me, you know, knowing that a guy that I started dating in college, I knew his, you know, that he was seeing his, you know, we called him hometown honey, that he was still seeing his hometown honey.

Or I knew I could feel in my bones when my boss was gonna call me into his office and say something to me. I just knew the undeniable part to it. Right? That's just where you just know you're meant to use it in a bigger way, but it's not going to be just for you. And that's when I knew that's the part that was different for me. I just knew it wasn't a gift I could keep for myself.

I remember the first time someone said, find five examples of something that happened supernatural or paranormal. And I had 30 by the time I was done. Right. I can look back on my behavior. One of my best friends, Melanie, growing up, she said to me, do you remember I used to sit in your backyard by the pool and you would look up in the sky and you start talking about the universe?

I don't have any recollection of that. But I love that because the universe is one of my favorite subjects. I could talk about it for hours. And yet I was doing that at 16 and I don't even remember that.

Right? So I can look back and say, wow, I was kind of a deep thinker. Another, just a really quick example that my mom reminded me of in my older age, there was a girl in high school who was suicidal and my teacher asked me to walk her to the principal's office and school's pretty large. So it took us a good five to seven minutes just to walk to the front office. And by the time we got to the guidance counselor, she asked the guidance counselor, is it okay if I just sit and talk to Denise?

And the guidance counselor was like, sure. So they gave me a conference room and I sat with her for an hour and a half.

She couldn't pinpoint what it meant, but she knew it was something special. I can look back and say, wow, there's something about me that comforts people. Right? I keep telling those who like want to pull Oracle cards when I teach a class on how to read. You guys, it's not just about pulling cards.

She pulls and it's fabulous and she's on point, but just to kind of have the dialogue, she's a little shy. And so I encouraged her to be a psychic that's online, like on Etsy, that can pull four cards for you and give me one question and I can answer that question for you. I saw the talent and knew where she would shine and she shines so much better by just throwing the cards, giving a simple response and that's it. Right? So you have to figure out, do I have what it takes? Right? Am I personable? I, do I make people comfortable? A lot of our work, especially Missy and your mediumship, it's asking spirit a lot of questions. We're not just hearing everything like we are internally while you're sitting in front of us or on the phone with us, we're asking questions.

We've got the client in front of us. We have to make sure we have a bubble of compassion around them and love as we're pulling. We're having a dialogue with spirit quietly. And then we have to look at what's going on in our third eye. And this is all happening simultaneously. I'm telling you guys right now, this is not easy work. It's

And the way to tie this all together is there's emotional labor that goes along with this job. And just because you you know, we're we're naming all these things and you're thinking, yes. I have that. Yes. I have that. I it it doesn't mean that intuition has to equal a vocation. So it doesn't have to become something professional. It's just that the signs for Denise and I were undeniable that this had to become something professional. I had someone recently say, hey. I have a friend. Do you think, you know, they should do this because they have really good discernment? And I was like, gosh. You know, that's not really a yes or no question. Would need to sit down and have a conversation to really dig a little bit deeper to

And we all have discernment. Right? Yeah. Exact exactly. And I don't want people to think that doing it professionally is the only way for you to honor the gift of intuition that you have. It doesn't have to turn into something professional for you to honor this amazing gift. Would you agree with that?

I'm creating an entire human being right now. And I loved it because it's very different than when you say, I'm eight months pregnant, I'm tired, I have brain fog. She's like, Yeah, no, my body is literally creating an entire human being. It takes it to a whole another level, right? Yes.

And that's kinda how I feel with our work. Like when people think it's so easy, it's like, no, no, no. I am literally raising my vibration to match spirit that is lowering their vibration so that we can find a happy medium where I can hear them clearly and I can connect. People don't realize the toll it takes on our body, our mind, our soul, and our spirit. They don't truly get it.

When I first started doing readings, I would do three readings and I would hibernate. I literally called it a hibernation. Three readings and then I would sleep for like five hours immediately. And I remember saying to Spirit, I don't know if I can do this work. And Spirit would always say, Chop, chop.

This is Psychic Boot Camp. They showed me as a soldier on the ground with the elbows and they kept saying Psychic Boot Camp. They kept telling me, Build your stamina. Make sure you're cleansing yourself properly. You'll only surround yourself with healthy people. Spirit would give me the discernment. But I just wanted to explain, it's just, it's not that easy. So when I had a client who said, you know, God, I wish I had your job. You just get to sit and talk to people all day. Guess what?

Yeah. We're not sitting and talking to people all day. We are talking to people. We are connecting with spirit. It's so all encompassing and it's exhausting.

Because I was trying to balance. My energy was so depleted. And I think that's what people don't understand is the amount of energy, physical, physical energy as well. And that's what you're talking about, the stamina, the physical energy that it takes, because you have to be able to regulate your energy before and after sessions, because every reading is different. Every reading is not the same.

All the messages don't translate from one person to the next person, to the next person, to the next. Everybody is going through something different. So you have to be able to turn off from one reading, turn on into the next reading, then turn off from that one, turn on to the next one. And by the time I finished those four days of readings, I did not even remember getting off the shuttle, getting into my car, going to the grocery store and getting some fried chicken that I never eat and then going home. And by the time I pulled the car into the garage, I didn't remember anything.

How are you doing this? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm just doing it. And then it, but it eventually caught up to me in a way where what I can tell sometimes is that when I am overtired or when I haven't taken the time to clear my energy, or I haven't taken the time to just come down and just have that woosa moment before I go into the next one, I notice that I'm not as crisp. Doesn't mean I don't receive the messages, but then there's this, I'm kind of like fighting with myself.

You know, then I get into the ego mind. I'm like, am I not hearing this right? Am I not seeing this correctly? So I think that you have to be able to say no when you're in this work without feeling guilty. So you have to be able to say, I I need to take the time. And I think after that Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I think I took off Tuesday. We recorded on Wednesday, and then I took off an additional day Thursday because I really needed that time. And you have to be okay with that.

Space it out. And it was because of you. I started to bring them down. I was working seven days a week at one time. I knocked off one day. I even have a little habit tracker to remind me to see how many days I had off for the month. And if it's not enough, I've got to re I've got to revamp. And I realized it, I needed that. I always use the analogy of the oxygen mask on the airplane. They always say, put the oxygen on you first before you can help others.

We all have to make sure that we have the oxygen. You can't help others without it. Right. But the idea of creating a schedule that makes sense to you.

Are you sure you want to do this now? Or would you prefer to do it when I'm fresh? And I've literally said to them, trust me, you will want me when I'm fresh. Yeah. Because I don't want to give a half ass reading.

I promise you. It's a great thing for you.

And then because I said I wanted to help people. So there was always this thing in me where I wanted to help people. I chose psychology as my major in college, and this is the honest to God's truth because I wanted to learn how to read minds. I swear to you. Wanted to learn ESP.

So I feel like a little bit of the Hansel and Gretel, the little breadcrumbs that were leading us along the way all throughout our life, gearing us up to do this on a full time basis. So it's not just something you wake up one day, you have the gift of discernment and you decide I'm going to do this professionally. There is preparation that has taken place over your lifetime. Yeah. My purpose needed to ripen.

I say that all the time. This happened for me at 52 years old. Are you kidding me? I've now gotta start a life over after I've worked in the corporate world for this long. Do you want me to what?

Oh, completely change gears. And now I have to break it to my family and friends that guess what? I haven't gone off the deep end, but I am now a psychic intuitive and a medium, and this is what I'm gonna do for a living, and this is how I'm gonna make my money. That's a very scary reality, not only for myself, but the people around me that love and care about me and wanna make sure that I am truly doing the thing that brings me happiness. As much as you and I talk about the difficulties of doing this work, want our listeners to also understand that there is a lot of reward.

And it's not about validating us because spirit validates us every day because this is what we've been chosen to do, not what we chose to do, what we've been chosen to do. It feels really great when someone says, Well, the last time we did a reading, you told me this, and guess what? It happened. And there's a part of me that still gets really excited about that. That goes, Oh my God. I still get the excitement when I bring through a family member. So it is still very exciting for me. I Love what I do.

Right.

You know? I need to be a grandfather needs to come through in fifteen minutes. And, typically, I can say that grandfather usually does step forward.

The reason why I'm bringing that up is because I want people to understand it's okay to do this in silence until you feel comfortable, until it makes sense to you. Keep it close to your chest.

Yes. You can share it with loved ones. You can simply let it be a tool for you without it becoming an identity. But for you and I, it was a tool that created the new identity. It had to become, or it became something that we were able to monetize.

We knew that we needed to step away from what it was that we were doing. It was undeniable. It I found it very, very difficult to stay in the corporate world. And I don't share this with people very often because I find it embarrassing. But, you had you had said to me in our reading, my very first reading, you said in three to five years, you won't be in the corporate world anymore.

That was in October 2018. You said in three to five years, you won't be in in the corporate world anymore. And I remember thinking to myself, yeah. Yeah. Whatever. This is this is what I know. This is how I make my money. And, you know, it was safe for me to have the nice, you know, corporate paycheck and everything. So fast forward, I remember, I went from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I'd been there for fifteen years and moved out to, Utah and went to work for a company.

Two and a half years after I had been on board there, I got I got an email from the president of the company. He said, Hey, do you have time to chat around 12:15? And I said, Sure. It's at the end of the year. We had just had our Christmas party two days previous, And I think he's going to talk to me about the possibility of taking on more responsibilities within the company.

I walked into his office with my pad of paper and a pen, like I was going to take notes for new responsibilities. And as soon as I sat in in the chair in front of his desk, I felt my energy change immediately. I said, this this is not gonna end right. Something feels really off to me. And I remember spirit saying to me, just listen. Don't say anything. Just listen. And he proceeded to tell me that I didn't fit in. And he said, I don't see this as the place for you. And my heart sunk.

And I thought, oh my God, now what am I going to do? I need a job. I need a job. I wasn't yet full time doing this professionally. And, I it was very embarrassing for me. I had to clean out my desk in the middle of the day in front of all of my coworkers. Right? It couldn't have been more uncomfortable for me. And I get into my car and I'm I'm crying. I'm all upset.

I can't believe this. What am I gonna do? I've made this move across the country. You know, it took them two and a half years to tell me I didn't fit in. You couldn't figure this out, and you're and in my face, you know, at the at the Christmas party.

Are you kidding me? And so, I heard Spirit very loudly say to me, are you ready to listen? And I said, of of of course, yes. And I did what anybody else would normally do. I went right back to the corporate world three weeks later, took a job with another company, and ten months later from that, they let me go.

And to this day, I don't know why the answer or what they said to me was, it's a business decision. And I said, well, what was the business decision that led to me being terminated? And then they said it was a business decision. And that's all I've ever known about that. And that was in November 2022. That puts me four years, three to five years, four years to the day that you said, I remember spirit says, now are you finally ready to listen? And I, through my tears, I said, yes, I am.

And here I am. Right.

Yeah. And we know what that means. They're gonna, you're gonna get fired for the dumbest reasons. Spirit will do anything to make sure that you stay on track. And that was undeniable for you.

And I knew this in my soul. And the other piece of this is timing matters. Absolutely timing matters. And and maybe this goes along with the fact that intuition guides people into the practice slowly, not overnight. And even though mine felt like overnight because of the trajectory of meeting with you and people showing up at my desk, you know, in three days.

But the preparation began at birth. Before I even came here, before I incarnated, I made the decision that this was going to be my path. And all those little the breadcrumbs that we talk about, the little nudges, all the ways that spirit uses people in your life, whether it's a friend or a coworker or a significant other, it's a family member to kind of remind you that, oh no, remember when you said this and you said that when you were, and and we don't remember those things. So there's always that recognition by other people. And I know that spirit is using those people to kind of help us on on our journey and bring us into what we're supposed to be doing if in fact you're meant to be doing this professionally.

I remember the nights crying myself to sleep thinking, how am I going to pay my rent? How am I going to pay my daughter's tuition? It was, it wasn't easy. And I negotiated with spirit and I said, you wanted me to take this leap of faith, show me that I'm really supposed to do this. I said, I'm giving you two years to match my corporate salary.

And if you can't do that, I have to walk away. Yeah. He did it in eighteen months. Yeah. I was back at my corporate salary and I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't know how I was going to do that. I didn't have anybody in my corner. I was really winging this thing. I didn't have a mutual friend that's in the psychic world. I didn't know any other psychics.

I'm truly like you want to talk about taking a leap of faith. I have some students who say they want to do this, but they're like, but I can't imagine not making you know, X amount of dollars or have a certain lifestyle I wanna keep up. Like, are literal things people have said to me verbatim. And I was like, if that's what's important, then this isn't for you.

Know, they make it seem so easy, right? They're just like, dude, just do the work and the money will come. Right? So you've gotta have a certain level of strength and confidence in yourself and in your abilities. That's the confidence that Missy, where you finally told your family after a year, you had a confidence that was created in that struggle.

I had a confidence in that four year, five year struggle where I was comfortable to say, Hey, guess what? This is what I've been doing on the side for the last couple of years, and this is why.

Apparently there was a counselor on the ship and I think she said her name was Dana. I could totally be wrong. But she would call me that and I'd say, why, what is that? And she'd say, you remind me of the counselor in Star Trek. She would just walk around and help people.

I couldn't get my work done because people were calling me into their office to complain and moan and wanted my advice. And so when you said, yeah, you got to look at the nuggets and you're like, yep, there's a nugget. Right. When I wanted to quit because I was tired and I was exhausted and I needed to pay my bills, I would be reminded of that.

You don't want to go, Well, the best thing for you to do is just to go ahead and leave them. Right? You have to remove yourself from the outcome. You're not projecting your own hopes, fears, or interpretations onto their situation. So you're not trying to fix them or rescue them.

That's the neutrality. So I think there's I I mean, you and I could talk hours upon hours on this subject alone of should you actually go pro and all the things. It's not just making the decision one day, hey, I woke up and I decided because I like to talk to people that I'm going to become a psychic, or because I have, you know, great discernment, I'm going to be a psychic. We're just touching on some of the things that we feel based on our personal experience of what it takes to step into the role as an intuitive, as a psychic intuitive, as a medium, as an amazing card reader, as a spiritual life coach. These are our experiences.

Would you agree with that?

And I was like, why am I doing what? They're like, you let that client convince you that she was right. Now, yeah, you're not running the show when you come into a session. There's so much to being a psychic intuitive or a medium than just being able to have the Clair's. Right?

And spirits had very clear to me. If you go back into corporate America, you will never do this work. Yeah. And I was like, woah, like they were letting me know very clearly. You step back in there. You're not going to do this. And I thought that they would kind of bully me out of it. They didn't. And those are one of those moments in my blueprint that we created that it was free will. It was my choice.

Denise, you know, gift that you have, you've come this far. If you go back, you will not come back. That was their disclaimer. And I made the choice not to take it. Yeah. Those are the types of leaps and bounds and sacrifices you have to be willing to make. Missy and I could sit and talk about our life story and how we got here. And I think Missy's story alone is a New York Times bestseller. I mean, the faith that you had and trusting me. It takes a lot to trust when we hear spirit.

It takes a lot for someone to trust the person that is connecting with spirit. Yeah. Right. It takes a lot and we have to build that trust.

If you are truly meant to do this professionally, look, it's going to be undeniable. It was undeniable for Denise. It was undeniable for me. It may have taken us a little time to listen, to actually answering the call for that. But I can tell you that with all the ups and the downs, the struggles, the emotional days where I've done mediumship, and it's just one family member or friend, and I've connected with, people that have lost their life to suicide or people that had died very tragically in other ways.

Those are hard days for me. They're very emotional days for me. I also want our listeners to take away that you have to be in a position where you observe. You become an observer, not an absorber. The best thing you can do is really create that energetic boundary for yourself because if you don't, you're going to be a mess.

I used to cry in the beginning when I was doing these readings in mediumship. I would sometimes cry with my clients. And I remember coming out, getting out into my car. I was at somebody's house and all of a sudden I hear a spirit go, what are you doing? What are you doing?

That's not for you. It's for them. You have to hold the space for them. This is their emotional healing, not your emotional healing. What are you doing? Don't do that again. And I never cried again. I didn't want to disappoint myself, but I didn't want to disappoint spirit.

But I want you to know that I'm here to help answer any questions. I know that Denise is here if you choose to reach out to either of us. We also have Woo Woo channeling crew at Gmail dot com. If you wanna shoot us an email and have any follow-up questions, we're here for you to support you on your journey. And I thought it would be really great if you would maybe pull a card to end this amazing session.
