Psychic Mediums Tell the Truth About Relationship Readings

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Welcome to this week's episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality. Today the ladies are gonna do a few Reddit stories, but then the episode's gonna be hijacked by love. Let's play the music. With me is Carissa. Hello, hello. What is that?

SPEAKER_00 0:33

I don't know. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

And Michelle.

SPEAKER_02 0:38

Hello, hello, everybody.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Ooh. Got some enthusiasm going. Fancy.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

We have a high-pitched Carissa and a very excitable Michelle. So what are we talking about?

SPEAKER_00 0:50

Reddit stories. And we've got a few good ones.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

I like that you're asking that, saying it like a question.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

You like that?

SPEAKER_01 1:00

You want to start?

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Yeah, let's do it. Okay. So this one is from it's you slash to be underscore void underscore of underscore life. That was a long one, but I got it. Okay. This is about manifestation, and don't remind me. I mean, don't remind me, do remind me to tell you about my story that is a lot like this one. Okay. All right. So I found this wild manifestation story on Reddit. I just gave you the name. So I want you to picture this. The woman is engaged to someone. She thought it was nice, kind, lovely, everything. And it turned out to be toxic, like a full-on mentally abusive, narcissistic person. She hit that breaking point where she knew in her bones she deserved more. So she walked away. But here's the twist: she didn't just leave hoping for the best. She started manifesting. And I mean really manifesting, calling it exactly what she wanted: love, respect, devotion. And two weeks later, literally two weeks, she meets the man who becomes her partner. And they've now been together for five years. And here's how she describes him. He worships the ground she walks on. He treats her like royalty. He's head over heels in love with her. Everyone who sees them together says they make people believe in true love again. And here's the kicker. She manifested everything. His looks, his height, even his zodiac sign. She even laughed and said, yes, even the skills in bed. So it's like she wrote out her order to the universe, and the universe delivered. And now they're celebrating five years together, and she says every single day feels like spending time with her best friend. So, before you know I can jump into mime, here's my question for you listening. Do you think she manifested him, or do you think it's just timing and choices lining up? Or a little bit of both. What do y'all think? But I love how, regardless, she turned to the universe and to herself and said, I deserve better. Damn it.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

No, that's really powerful in that moment. And one of the things we all know about manifestation is you need to put the intention out there, and then you need to do the work too to get to that place. Like you can't just say, I want a new car and then lock yourself in the house and not do anything to help with the process. I mean, the universe will do its work, but you need to do yours also. And it sounds like in that moment she was releasing that other relationship. She knew what she didn't want, so was manifesting what she did want. And I think it's a little bit of both.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I do think it's a little bit of both. What I what I think, too, that is coming through to me, because I'm sitting here kind of just chewing on the story that you just shared. Manifesting is a beautiful tool to use. I think that it is also not fully like you can't pick things off of a menu kind of in the way it was described. Like that's really not, that doesn't feel right to me or good to me when it when we're talking about manifestation. It's like when we talk about law of attraction, manifesting things, creating, you know, the world that we want to live in and creating that energy and that forward movement. We have to be open to all possibilities and understand that the universe could be bringing us something that's actually better than what we want or what we order. So, you know, I want to be a billionaire does not necessarily mean I'm gonna go buy a scratch ticket tomorrow and win the lottery. It could mean that tomorrow I go and get a job that benefits me and my family in a very different way. So I'm rich, but not necessarily through currency, but other ways. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_00 5:24

Yeah, and you'll like how what my story is too, because that makes sense too.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

And I'll just piggyback off that for a minute. All of those things are really subjective too. And when you're searching your heart and your soul for that person, I mean, yeah, manifestation, you're putting it out there, but you know what you're attracted to you. And I think as you're working with the universe, like this is what I want. Subjectively, you know what you want too and what you're gonna be attracted to. Because you're not gonna go to someone you're totally not attracted to and try to make a life with them. That energy is not gonna match. So you're doing your part is bringing, you're doing your part when you bring in the energy of what you're looking for. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Yeah. And and and at the same time, you can end up with blue eyes instead of brown eyes. Exactly. It can be with what you're it's it's the energy matching the energy.

unknown 6:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

So my story is I went through a divorce and I started dating this other guy, and I just realized this is not the guy for me. And so I I broke it off. And as we all know, or you may not know, when you break off something too soon, that oxytocin is just like cut off. It's like a drug cut off. And so you're just depleted of it, right? So I was just feeling really low, and I was sitting in my mom's backyard, my feet in the pool, and I said, and I said, you know, talking to God, because I didn't know about spirit guides at that time. And I said, you know, I need some help. Like, you know, I'm I'm tired and I need to get my energy back up. I literally got a phone call from my old boss. Her name is Angel. I love that. I know. And Angel, and I said, you know, you really are an angel. And she goes, why? And I said, I this is, I was sitting here with my feet in the pool, just feeling really low. And she goes, Carissa, this is what I did to find my new to, you know, my new husband. I literally got down on my knees and I said, you know, dear God, this is what I want. And I meant business. And there is something surrendering and succumbing when you get down on your knees. There really is energetically. There is. So I said, you know, you got it. And because I really wanted a partner. I really wanted that to find that love. Got down on my knees and I said, This is it. This is what I want. This is where y'all got to be careful. But again, things were already lined up anyway, now that I study astrology. So I said, I mean, basic shit. One, I want to love him. I want to love him. And another one, he needs to know how to cook and clean up after us. He needs to know. Amen. Right? Like do your own laundry, your, your, your dishes, everything. I was married to someone a little bit younger than me that in that previous marriage. So I wanted, I said, I want someone older and mature. Well, ended up finding my husband, and he's definitely a lot older. That's not the kind of older I wanted. But it is, and you can't say it's been easy and sweet the whole time. No. But we had it during hard times, we just can easily slide back into love. That's really, really interesting. And now reading astrology charts, Demi, my our daughter, was definitely wanted this, came in at this time. So here's the question on this. Did I manifest it? Was it prayer? Was it timing? I think it's a little bit of everything.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

I agree. I agree. And really, manifestation is asking for help. Prayers are asking for help. And then your intention, knowing you need the help. I mean, it all just lines up perfectly.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

Well, and I also think that there's a piece to it. You know, sometimes the universe pushes us in ways that we don't expect to, because the universe is like, hey, hey, you're not where you're supposed to be in your timeline or on your path. So we're gonna, you know, shake things up a bit. I mean, I don't know if it was manifestation, I don't know if it was the universe pushing me. As you guys know, I went through a really challenging divorce last year myself. And it was really tough. And right around that time is when I met my husband. Fell head over heels very, very quickly. And he and I have the relationship that Chris was just explaining. You know, we we of course we fight, we argue, we do all the things that normal couples do, but we can reconnect so quickly that it doesn't feel like you're constantly seeking that I I don't even know how to explain it. It's like you're not constantly on edge because it's like, okay, we're good and we can move forward. And love is is different when when you find the one that that fits you, it it's not always work. It is work regardless, but it's not always the kind of work that I think I got used to.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

Yeah, and if I could throw in some astrology, do you mind? No. Stacey was having her Saturn about to go into seventh, and Saturn and seventh, everyone thinks, oh, the relationships, right, is gonna be hard. It's it's really about responsibility and maturing. And if you're gonna do the work, you do the work and it makes it. Sometimes divorces happen after Saturn goes out of seventh, and that person finds a more mature relationship. And I remember Stacy saying, man, we're just we love each other and it's just so comfortable. We're going in and we're having to act like we're, you know, 80 years old or 70 years old doing stuff for someone who's been married for over 30 years. That's a Saturn going in the seventh, finding that mature relationship. Like you're having a mature, responsible relationship.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

I think we're all fortunate in that we met people that we really still get butterflies in our stomachs when we see that I do anyway, but we fight. He he's the perfect person for me, and kind of that same thing. You gotta get past and you grow.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

So there is there is no better feeling than when your phone goes off and you look down and you can't help but smile because of who it is. You know, like that's it's such a a warm and fuzzy feeling, not a now what. And I I don't hate on on my ex at all, at all. We needed to go our separate ways. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Yeah. That's how it is. It's you hit an endpoint.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

And I will share that, you know, it is as you said, when you look down and the messages from the one you love, but when you realize you pick up your phone to send them a message, just as their message is coming into you, like you're so in sync. And that's what I can say here is we are so in sync or we're so out of sync. There's not a whole lot of in between, but we have a lot of fun and you know, we respect each other for where we are and who we are. So yeah. I think that's such a gift from the universe.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

It's it's very different. It's very, very different. And that's like it it you just know. And I think one of my favorite things that I've ever actually heard my husband say to somebody is he goes, I wasn't planning on getting married again. I wasn't planning on doing any of that again. But then I met her and he's like, it was like how did he say it? It was like the whole universe just kind of clicked and everything made sense. And he was telling me a while back that with his previous his ex that he would go to places and and see things, and he knew that they were not gonna be together when that place became important. Places that are local to not really local to me, but that we frequent quite regularly. He's like, I always knew this place was gonna be important, but I didn't know why or or when. And so they they actually become these places that he's like all of a sudden I met you here at one of the places that I would drive by and be like, I'm gonna be there one day. That has something to do with my future. And he's like, but I had no reason to go. So, and and that to me is really, really kind of cool too.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Oh, that is amazing. Well, since we're talking about love, can I share this love story that I have? So, as any good story starts, I was in Las Vegas at a bar, having a drink with my husband, and the bartender was there, and he was a little giddy as he was talking to the other bartender about the fact he just got married. And I'm like, oh, okay, you know, he just got married. And I'm thinking he'd probably been engaged for a year. They've been together for a while, but turns out what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. And he had met her like two nights before.

unknown 14:28

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 14:29

And so I'm listening and I'm trying not to be that person, but I am that person. And I have my phone and I'm checking in for my flight. And he's like, Yeah, it was really great, but I don't know if it was really a legal marriage, but we're gonna keep in touch, see if it'll work out. And so someone's like, Well, where is she now? And he goes, Oh, this morning, or yeah, it was that morning, she flew to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Now, I've never been to Grand Rapids, Michigan, but I was checking in for my flight to Grand Rapids, Michigan as he was telling the story. And I'm like, dude, this is confirmation. Like, I could be going anywhere in the world, and I'm headed to Grand Rapids, Michigan. So keep it up, like, follow up on it. And I'm gonna be there in a couple days and I'm gonna find out like what happened. But I thought that was just really cool.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Yeah, you have to follow up with this story. I need to know.

SPEAKER_02 15:25

I will. I'm going to Vegas in the next couple days, and I will go there ahead of dinner. Ask coworkers if he's not there.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

I know.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

I know what they look like. Yeah. But this whole topic, like when that story happened, I started thinking about some what we do and how many people come to us wanting love readings. And I know I don't get a lot of them, but I know both of you do, or you have.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

I haven't. I've had, oh, so we'll have to hear Stacy's. I've just had them wanting to connect with their loved one on the other side that had passed their partner, you know.

SPEAKER_02 16:02

But not curious about who they're gonna marry or when he's gonna come into the picture, or she's gonna come into the picture.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

I will be so very honest. Giving love readings are my absolute least favorite readings to give. I bet. It's not because I don't like to give them, it's not for any particular reason other than the energy that goes into them from the person that's seeking the reading. Love readings to me is a sign that the person that's asking for them is not comfortable with themselves. I have no qualms. I have no argument against yes, no readings. Like, hey, is this person the one? I'm having really good feelings, but I'm looking just to see what pops up. That's one thing. But when am I gonna meet them? Are they coming soon? Is this person the one? I feel like they're the one. I feel like this is different. Like you can kind of energetically feel the difference between the almost even the two very similar questions. And so it it's just if you are looking for your connection that desperately, you're not going to find it.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Oh, that's true. You got to be comfortable with yourself before you can be comfortable and open to somebody else. So when someone comes to you in that state, that's what their energy is saying. How do you handle it? Do you go through the reading because I mean, that's what they're asking you to do, or do you just say, why don't we redirect the question?

SPEAKER_01 17:39

Or so you have to remember when you're doing readings, you're you're giving the information that the universe is providing. Right. So I kind of take personal stuff out of that. And, you know, I always will do a reading for somebody that that that that's asking, particularly on those topics, because what I have found the universe kind of comes back with is focus on yourself. Focus on yourself. And there's not a lot about relationships in those readings. It's actually more pointing to the relationship you have with you. And so while I I say they're they're not my favorite readings to do, I do think at the same time, they can be the most healing for the person asking for them because the information that they're getting from that reading is typically information they need to be able to heal themselves before the relationship happens, before, you know, they're able to find the one. And, you know, I think that's important to note. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

It makes a lot of sense. And I know a lot of the readings that I get or I got, I haven't been doing them for a while, are people just wanting confirmation about things going on in their life, more like life coaching, even though I would never call myself a life coach, but the information that comes through for me is, and I always ask my guides, you know, show me what they need to see to understand themselves, where they can be authentic to themselves. And so those are the readings I get. And I remember I did this podcast with this lady once, and she tore me apart because I said, I don't really get a lot of love readings. I don't get a lot of people coming in asking for this or that. And she's like, Then how are you real? Like, how do you do it? I'm like, I'm just telling you, like, I'm not making it up. Like, these are the types of readings that I get. And it was very uncomfortable. I remember talking to both of you after that and just saying, like, I felt dirty and like.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

Yeah. My favorite readings, I will like say, honestly, are the readings that are general. I don't have a specific topic I want you to talk to me about. I want to see what comes up because I find those are so full of the information that the person sitting for a reading needs that they walk away feeling more full and like they they know what direction to go in. Whereas when we're focused on one subject at a time, I don't necessarily think it's I don't want to say as in depth. It it's always in depth, but I don't, I don't feel like you get as much out because perhaps you're so focused on your money situation that you're losing sight of your career. And if we look at a general reading, we can talk about both.

SPEAKER_02 20:17

Yeah, this is such an interesting conversation because I've never gone into a reading for myself seeking information about my love life, really. I I guess because since I've opened up to that, I've already always had someone in my life. But I have gone in a lot of times questions about my spirituality, like when's it gonna unfold? And yeah, it probably was an insecurity in me. And it did probably feel a little bit desperate now that I'm thinking about it. Different topics feel different though. Like it's it's I guess that's true, but kind of the same thing. Like I I was needing points validated for me also.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

No, it I love focused readings too, though, because I think you know, if you're open to hearing whatever else comes up, they can be full of really solid information. And you know, to that, one of the things that that I think like for me is I I haven't been doing a lot of readings, and I did one for the first time in probably a year the other day. And I will tell you, ladies, I have missed it. I I got to pull cards for somebody and that energy and stepping into it, like it almost felt like coming back home to something that you know has always been there, but you're not touching as much. And it's it's because, you know, life has shifted so much that, you know, my web, I took my website down. I did a lot of that stuff after going through, you know, so so many changes last year that my husband and I are looking to rebrand in Insight and change it and reopen because I miss that part of me. So more to come on that. But I really

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Really miss it too. So I can completely see and understand where you're coming from. It just is just stepping into it. And I don't know. I still always hope like what came through made sense, but it just felt so good when the information just flowed and you could just get it out and you didn't have to interpret it because that's not your job. You're just saying what's coming through.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Yeah, it was it was kind of a happenstance thing too. But yeah, we're we're working on that. That's that was that's exciting. That was what I was gonna say, Carissa. Thought came back. I was actually for a while getting a lot of love readings before before things shifted. That's interesting. And they weren't love marriages per se, it was like relationship readings and stuff like that. Because I think before I went through everything that I went through last year, I knew there was a change coming, and I was trying to understand what that change was. So, you know, we talk about love readings and stuff like that, and I was I was getting quite a quite a few of them because I was trying to figure out where I was going. So that was that was where my brain went.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Yeah, the universe was speaking to you. How about you, Krissa? Do you still give readings? Are you missing them?

SPEAKER_00 23:15

Yeah, I gave one the other day, you know, connecting with your loved ones. That was it was nice. Again, it's exhausting though, and I sweat a lot when I get into that state and I'm holding space. I tend to sweat a lot too. It's weird. But she was able to connect with her father, and then her grandma came through and was like, No, this is grandma on mom's side, and she was like, No, I I didn't really know her. It has it has to be the one on dad's side. I was like, No, it's mom. And then once she started talking to her, it started to make sense why she came through. But you know, they're they're heavy. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.

SPEAKER_02 23:59

Yeah, and Stacey, what you were saying about falling out of the routine. I know Chris and I were talking a little bit about astrology and my own chart and how I need those grounding routines. And I've really stepped out of them with all the changes in my life too. So lots to work towards in the next couple months. I agree.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

And maybe you know, we might end up being able to tag team it together and get into better practices all of us together. Accountability. Accountability buddies. Yes, I like that. Accountability buddies. That's fun. Well, is there anything you guys else want to add to the episode that we're talking of? Because my language just went right out the door there. Literally. The Reddit episode kind of got hijacked by love. Mmm. So well, I guess I'm gonna exit us out. So do it. Stay classy, stay sassy, stay badassy until next time.
