My Life as a Psychic

“What’s it like being psychic?” I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard those words. The answer is never quite what people expect. My initial response is less than eloquent, “I don’t know. I don’t know what it’s like to not be psychic.”

I can tell you that I know things that I should have no way of knowing, I see things that other people don’t, and I hear voices when there is no one else around. I lie about these things on every medical intake form I’ve ever filled out.

When I was a kid, I didn’t realize that I was gifted. I thought everyone was like me. Like most of my life lessons, I learned the hard way that I was different. Fortunately for me, the gift runs in both sides of my family, so I only felt like a semi-freak. I most likely could have saved myself a lot of drama growing up if I had been a little more discerning with the information I received, but I’ve never been known for keeping my mouth shut!

When it comes out that I am psychic, (and living in a small town, it always does) the reaction is what I find amusing. Some people think it’s the coolest thing and want to know more… others smile, nod, and do their best not to take a step away from me. What never fails are the questions that are about to follow. Everybody wants a reading, has something they just need to know. I’ve turned more than a few skeptics into believers while in line at a grocery store.

Being a professional psychic is, in my opinion, the toughest but also the best job in the world. I joke around and say, “I exist, therefore I get paid.” I wish it were that simple, but like any job, a lot of hard work goes into each day and each call. I pull and exchange a massive amount of energy when I work. I also put a lot of pressure on myself because there is a huge difference between giving readings and giving good readings. It is a huge responsibility. There isn’t a moment that goes by that I am not consciously aware that my words affect someone else’s life.

I have met so many incredible people through my work, and since coming to California Psychics, I’ve been touched by so many more! So, for any of my callers out there who happen to be reading this, I want to thank you. Many of you have thanked me, credited me with helping you, but I don’t think many of you truly have any idea of what you do for me.
