Growing Up Psychic: Leo's Story

A Clairvoyant and Channeler, Psychic Leo ext. 5265, had a history of always being seen as an oddball by his family and schoolmates while growing up. He says, “I never understood the ‘psychic’ thing until I was in my twenties.” Before that, these gifts, which he calls both “a blessing and a curse,” would elicit constant comments, like, “How can you know that?” “Who told you that?” and “It’s like you’re an old man in a young man’s body.” He adds, “People didn’t know what to make of me, I had to keep defending the things I would blurt out, especially to strangers.”

“I once told one of my high school teachers, ‘Your husband is going to divorce you,’ and, of course, she threw me out of class. The principal asked me why I would say something like that … but the truth is that I really didn’t know,” Leo explains. At that point in his life, Leo couldn’t tell the difference between his thoughts and the thoughts of his Spirit Guides. They’d been conversing with him since the age of seven or eight. “I couldn’t tell anyone that spirits talked to me — everyone would have thought I was spooky,” he remembers.

He vividly recalls telling his older brother that he wouldn’t marry the girl he was dating, he would marry “Tasha, and have four kids.” They had their fourth child four years ago,” Leo says, and yet his family is still skeptical about his abilities.

By his late teens, strangers would get Leo’s number and call for “consultations.” No one ever called and asked for ‘a reading.’ The word got around that Leo was good with problems and predictions. “Again, I just thought I had the gift of communication, and with my entrepreneurial spirit, I made a business of it,” he states.

Eventually, Leo began to put the pieces together and realized that he was indeed psychic. He reveals, “I guess, you can call me a ‘reluctant psychic,’ because it’s taken me so long to understand and embrace the fact that most of the things that make me so different are due to my talents. I can see people’s auras, interpret dreams, and pick up what they feel and think.”

He concludes, “I enjoy helping people understand the source of their problems, especially in love and relationships. I begin my readings by having callers ask a question to get them to a place where they are ready to receive the information I have for them. After that, I normally don’t ask questions. I hear and see and feel the messages from my Spirit Guides and pass on the information until there isn’t anything left to tell.”
