What did she say This was a psychic that a good friend of mine had recommended and she is based in America and my good friend said her to make the appointment. donon't tell her your real name And and she was a very savvy friend. I texted the psychic to make the appointment and I gave her because I am truthful. I gave her my first name, my real name. I said it's Elizabeth and I didn't say anything else. And this psychic said, OkayK, I'll call you at seven PM your time on a Wednesday evening. It was a phone call. She didn't even see my face She couldn't have Googled me And it was an extraordinary experience. The first thing she said was Well You love words. And I was like, I do, I do love words. That is so me. And about halfway through this conversation where she said lots of other accurate stuff about my personal life, about my husband, She doeses your mother have some neck pain? And I was like, I don't think so. And then I chat later and My mom had put out her back bell ringing. She was like, I'm gonna see the auste about that. putut your car in Parkle asay I just want to just repeat that Y mother does bell ringing. Yeah love her. So anyway, about halfway through the bell ringing and everything The psychic said the thing and she said, I feel like you are grappling right now with letting go of a lifelong desire All I said was yes, that makes sense. So I wasn't asking her any questions. I deliberately didn't want to guide her anywhere. I said, Yes, that makes sense. And she said, And I don't know if it's to do with children But if it is, I have a very strong sense that you were a mother in a past life And you were the mother of six. And it almost melted you, That was her word. It almost melted you. And this life has been offered to you to live on your own terms And that might be if you have tried to have children, you might have experienced fertility issues or miscarriage And when she said that, I was like, oh, so I totted up the number of unsuccessful fertility cycles, three. And then I've had three miscarriages, six So I've actually technically been pregnant six times It was mind blowing. And she said you got goose. so did I? Ewhere. It felt so aligned with the truth that I had been avoiding in a way. Yes because I had had this yearning to be a mother and I had encountered so many obstacles and I'd kept going because I felt I wanted to, but I also felt that I should. So interesting. Yeah And what that psychic did, and I'm forever grateful to her for it, is she gave me permission to see what it would be like to let that idea go And it turned out that letting that idea go was incredibly liberating And it doesn't mean that I'm not sad about it. I am, but I'm really at peace with it. and there are so many other ways that I'm able to create Isn't it fascinating When somebody sees you And she didn't see you, but yeah, she says G and they give you permission Yeah to let go. It was And that actually you can't let go until somebody says, you know you can let go. Yeah. it's And when that happens You know, what what does it feel like It felt amazing. and ultimately what I come down, I do believe There is a spirit world, callall it what you like, callall it universe, call it God, call it faith, call it something we can't explain. Call it quantum physics, but there is something, there is some energy that is beyond our comprehension And that might not be for everyone. and there are people listening to this who might not believe that. either way I'm so grateful that that gave me what I needed and Actually, there's something really important about that because no one else could have given me permission in a way. I needed someone who claimed to be able to tap into a non human belief system, if that makes sense, like a beyond human thought process. because none of my friends would say that to me in the sense that they love me so much. they want to completely support me in whatever endeavor I'm choosing to do. Similarly with my partner Similarly with medical professionals, they're like, well, we're here to support whatever decision you make next but you have to make it Similarly with therapists, like they're not the ones who are going to say, you can let it go. And so actually it was incredibly helpful to me. And I have since passed or made appointments with that psychic for dear friends of mine who were going through massive challenges. And at every point, she has A said something different. so she hasn't always started off with like, oh, you love words. Yes. But B, she said something that has unlocked some power within them to see things differently And there's something about that power of knowing, the instinct that we can tap into. Tust yourself, trusting yourself and women for millennia, because of patriarchy, because of everything else. have been been sort of bamboozled out of trusting ourselves because actually it's so powerful Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with eglS, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After in an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about four in ten people taking EBGLS achieved itch relief and glare are almost cleare skin at sixteen weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more cleare at one year, with monthly dosing EBGlS Libivap LBKZ a two hundred fifty milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children twelve years of age and older who weigh at least eighty eight pounds or forty kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.

All my friends started to get worried about me because I was talking about signs. it would have pushed my, you, it would have changed my journey. and So I I already in the past few years, have been having that conversation a lot with my friends And they get signs from Robyin as well, which is wonderful Um that's even want people that didn't know him and I don't see him in dreams that much so but I Two or three of my friends, they get dream messages from him I get so jealous of people that dream of love ones. I know because it's like you're actually seeing them. Yeah. I never get that. I've had it a couple of times, but I can partly do lucid dreaming, so I managed to extend one of them a little bit, but then I think I must have fallen asleep or something. and I was like, o, I wish Id stayed in that dream for longer because it was so vivid This is Lucid dreaming So lucid dreaming is when you are aware you're dreaming and you can actually control the events and the dream. o. I think I've had that like once or twice Do you get that a lot? No, not a lot. I like had it. so Yeah, if I ever became aware that I was in a dream with Robin, I would try to keep course And so one of the things, obviously is getting your community aware that you're not going c it crazy. Yeah and being able to have mutual conversations about it. And then for me, the first few things that started me You know, on this journey that I had no idea how I was going to navigate were nature and community. So I mean, people came to visit me every single day I got so many flowers that I ran out of vessels to put them in And so one thing I learned is that If someone close to me loses someone, I'm going to buy them a vase, not flower. Yes Um Oh my god, that's good it's a good learning. And I'm talking about like, Six months solid of getting flowers like all the time. Wow. Um, Even now And it's been nearly four years. And that's really lovely isn't it? It It's u you were talking about community So I was you know living on a large property that I would just like walk around for half an hour every day And then because I didn't really have anything else to do or couldn't really do anything else, I just started walking for longer and longer And I felt the benefits on my mental health of doing that. And I also had a weird analogy, which is that I have a terrible sense of direction And where I was living, I would have no signal So if I got lost, I wouldn't be able to use Google Maps, and I could walk for hours without seeing anyone. But I started going down paths I'd never been before And I just had this a bit like that, you know, the weird feeling of him not being him when he died I just had this weird feeling that I would find my way On some kind of spiritual level that I'd been in that place before, which I can't explain. But the for me to I mean, I can lose my way in London. I can be crying on a street corner in London. I've lived it my entire life For me to say
