You can believe in spirit and still feel shattered by loss, and that tension sits at the heart of our conversation with Isabella Johnson. She’s a certified evidential medium, medical intuitive, grief therapist, and remote viewer, and she brings a rare mix of spiritual sensitivity and grounded honesty to what people in grief actually need: compassion, credibility, and a little more room to breathe. 

Isabella shares what it was like seeing people in spirit from early childhood, including the fear and sleepless nights that came with not having language or guidance. We talk about how her work evolved from early readings into a lifelong practice shaped by psychology, ethics, and a deep respect for evidence. She explains why she leans toward personality, nuance, and relationship repair instead of chasing names and dates, and why that approach can feel more validating for the people sitting in front of her. 

The conversation also goes where many avoid: how the loss of her daughter changed everything, how grief can make old belief systems feel too small, and why she encourages people to question, search, and even be angry without shame. We explore myths about spirit “not being around,” what signs can look like, and why mediums don’t get to bypass human emotion just because they can connect. We even touch on pet loss and the fierce love people feel for animals that continue on. 

If you’re looking for grief support, spiritual healing, mediumship with integrity, or simply a stronger sense of hope, this one stays with you. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a steadier breath today, and leave a review so more listeners can find the conversation.

Welcome And Guest Introduction

SPEAKER_04

Welcome to Soul Sisteries.

SPEAKER_02

We just had an amazing discussion with Isabella Johnson, an evidential medium who has just shared a little bit of her life's journey and uh and you know, finding hope in this world. And I just am really excited that we had this opportunity to talk with her ourselves and to share with you all.

SPEAKER_04

What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful person, a beautiful soul. Hey everyone, welcome. We're so excited to be talking with Isabella Johnson, a dedicated provider of healing and comfort. Isabella integrates her roles as a certified evidential medium, medical intuitive, grief therapist, and remote viewer. Her gift lies in achieving therapeutic depth with those in spirit, providing transformational answers and understanding for relationships where questions linger. Isabella sees the soul, the highest point in our physical body, and uses this insight to remind clients of their true purpose in this lifetime, approaching every session with profound compassion and empathy. And as a client of Isabella's, I can attest that every bit of this is true and she's amazing. And we are beyond delighted to welcome Isabella to Soul Sisteries today.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me. I'm honored. It's absolutely an honor to be here. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04

So excited to have you with us. Bless your heart for sure. For sure. So, Isabella, we asked you here for a variety of reasons. One, we both think you're amazing, and that's uncontested. Of course, you are. And you're just lovely, bright energy. We're also just, you know, super interested in your story and what brings you to where you are today. I mean, this is not the path where you know little girls dream of being ballerinas or mediums like this. What happens? What is it that that brought you here? Have you always felt this calling? Clue us in a little bit.

Seeing Spirit Since Childhood

SPEAKER_00

Sure. So um I have the unique ability, which I don't think I there are lots of mediums and lots of great mediums, but I think what kind of puts me in a little different space with that is that all of my life, from my earliest memory to today, I have always seen people in spirit outside of myself. Now, let me just say this that could be very frightening as a little child, not knowing why you're looking around, and there's five or six people in the room with you that you don't know. Um, so for me, but for me, this has kind of just been a normal progression. Uh, I started doing readings professionally, like right around the age of 17. So it's been a long time that I've been doing this. Um not regularly at that age. I think I really regularly started seeing clients as a profession in my early 20s. Um, thought I was going to be a psychologist, gotten a PhD program, and then just decided, oh, maybe this is not for me. So I really then at that point dedicated my life to just helping people connect with their loved ones and giving evidence and proof that we continue and go on. And it became more of a spiritual purpose and drive when I lost my daughter, when my daughter transitioned at the age of seven.

Loss That Deepens The Calling

SPEAKER_00

So for me, everything I had believed in before really evaporated. My understanding of, you know, continuation of life. I knew that that still existed, but it became a much more personal search at that point. So I really just decided, and and prayerfully so I just asking God if you can help me survive this, anything I can do moving forward to help, particularly parents or anyone struggling with that intense grief, I I will do this till more. And I know that that is, I believe very firmly that that is why I am doing what I do today. Um, so yeah, in a nutshell, that's kind of it. I I love what I do. I can't imagine anything else to be more fulfilling to me personally. Um, I try to bring, with my background in psychology, a therapeutic approach to this. And I kind of skip over the names and dates. Those seem less important to me, or, you know, I mean, they're absolutely tangible proof. But for me, I like the depth of personality, very nuanced and relationships. And I have found that we all have regrets, whether we're here or in spirit, and we kind of like to take ownership of where we could have done better. So I try to focus on that aspect in a reading after obviously giving proof and evidence of really being very comfortable going very deep with a client and obviously the people in spirit who show up to have those conversations. So we continue on, relationships continue on. There is no end point. And I think that's why I love what I do. Sorry, that was a bit long. That was a bit wordy. No, not at all.

SPEAKER_02

Not at all, and and so beautiful. And I I I don't know if you know Isabelle, but my background is clinical, so I am a therapist and kind of did that for years, and then after my own loss, um started to realize like there's this whole other piece that is so valuable in healing and provided so much more healing than and nothing uh you know against therapy because I still 100% support it. But there's this other piece of just knowing that your loved one is still here and that you can still connect. That I think changed my world. Right.

SPEAKER_00

It it eases it a bit. It's not uh panacea for everything. And you know, I think people have fairly good results for several weeks, maybe a couple of months after reading, but it it doesn't erase grief. And I think that's a very normal and healthy process. It's it it it grief defines us, and that these very substantial losses are transformative, whether we use that for positive or something that kind of lingers on. So I go into the with that mindset that I I hope to just provide evidence and proof that the continuation of relationships goes on. And then really my focus is on supporting the physical client that is before me and um knowing or just intuitively feeling what is the best, how I'm not going to deny that. It it does help. Um, but I I have had significant losses. I have a child in spirit, a husband in spirit, about like all of these things. So I've taken my pain and my losses, and it's created a depth and a well of empathy and understanding for most of my clients that honestly I didn't possess these things at 17 or 21 or 25 or even 30, you know. So it as I have aged and gone through these transitions in life, I I try to let no loss go wasted. I I really try to use that in an orb in a way to empathize and help others in my same shoes that I found myself in.

SPEAKER_04

That's incredibly beautiful.

Fear At Night And Learning Control

SPEAKER_04

So so when you were young though, and I wonder because I I identified with your story and so much of what you're saying, when you were younger, and you talked a little bit about it being fearful, some some of this, what what in your world helped you to step away from that fear, to accept it, to dig deeper? What like was there anybody? Was there what what happened for you?

SPEAKER_00

In in ways that maybe could have uh well, I think we all do the best in any situation that we're in. So there's no fault. But my mom had uh some ability. Her mother, who actually today is her uh anniversary of her transition, it's been one year. She was 103 years old, she was my person. She was just, or she is still just an amazing um resource for me. So she was much like myself, could see people in spirit. So uh fear is is a good word to use, but um not really having the language and understanding what they wanted from me, how I could best assist them. And and sleep was tenuous at best and fleeting always, because I found that during the daytime I could mostly distract myself. They'd show up, I could, you know, ignore or or try my best to placate them or um dissociate in some way. But at night that became really challenging. So I, you know, I remember sleeping with blankets over my head for from about six to 14 years old, just being so fearful. Um, never was there harm. I I don't want anyone to be, you know, alarmed that there was anything nefarious going on at any point of this. Um, but that I I think it was just really a lot of self-navigation uh of what this should look like. And I'm grateful for that because now when I have a client that might have a child that's experiencing some of these things, I just rush. What can I do? Here's how you can empower them, and here's some help or answers, or here's some things you might try to let them know how to better navigate this, certainly better than I did. Like I said, uh all of the things that have been challenging in my life, I I really tried to look at them with the positive inflection that okay, this is there for a reason, and how can I use this to help other people? When we're going through any kind of crisis or difficult time, it feels very isolating and lonely. So I just try to, even as a child, bringing that into I remember what that was like for me. Could this possibly be what you're experiencing as well, too? So I love working with children and helping them. And it's very short that that I will do that, you know, like a minute for a year. It's no longer 15 or 20 minutes spending with them, but it makes them feel more in control of the situation, I think, or or that they have some decision-making power. But really, I had the best that my mom could do, which was um kudos to her, uh, and then my grandmother, really. And I I do have one of my sons has ability as well too, and and it he is not someone that enjoys that aspect of himself. So just being that steady person there for him, I think is helpful as well, too.

Skepticism And The Need For Evidence

SPEAKER_04

Do you think, thank you? Do you do you think your own profound loss of your daughter is part of the what has compelled you to embrace this work so fully?

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. I think that is a huge component of it. I mean, I became incredibly Gnostic during the first couple years of her transition. I would search everything and I had a very um, listen, I'm Catholic and my faith is important to me, but I found that the perimeters of that no longer fit uh what my grief encompassed. Like it was too small of a box. So that grew, and um I began to really just be comfortable with not knowing a lot of the answers. And I have very little dogma in my life today, whereas before her transition, oh, incredible amount of factual dogma, and uh, you know, there were no derivative in any way. And and now I'm so grateful that that is no longer my experience. I question everything, and I hope that that continues always. Uh I hope to never become stagnant in any of that. And I encourage people search, ask questions, be angry, yell, scream, discard your belief system, embrace another one, or or find none. This is the thing about grief is when you're in it, it feels stagnant and forever and overwhelming, and like we will never breeze through it. And unfortunately, unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, as we know from the significant loss. We just don't maintain that. So, yeah, um it propelled me to ask questions. So I encourage others to do that. And I can't walk this path for you, but I can kind of fold your hand and help you navigate some of the pitfalls that I encountered. And and that's what I try to do, particularly with parents.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I I just want to say that I appreciate you being here on the anniversary of your loss of your grandma. And I'm sure she's right here with us. I I'm curious because you have been a medium forever, right? Since a child. And then you had the loss of your daughter, the loss of your partner. And I'm wondering if, because I I always wonder this with mediums, if your connection with them is as strong as your connection with our loved ones when you do reading something.

SPEAKER_00

No, because I'm incredibly skeptical. I to me, disability, although I have my faith, it is not connected to my faith or spirituality at all. To me, uh, it is very neurodivergent. I just feel like I'm a wide open receiver, whether I attempt to or not. I now live in a very isolated part of Arkansas, no neighbors around, several hundred acres of woods, and I find that very comforting because I'm feeling what everyone else is feeling. I'm hearing what everyone else. It is an ability that I cannot shut off. And at this point in my life, at almost 60, like that's fine. It would be unusual if if that were to go away. But um it it it just very hard to describe what this experience is has been like. And again, it just feels so innate to who I am. Why are my eyes blue? I don't know. I was just born this way. Why this this is who I am. So I've tried to embrace it and um become comfortable with the not knowing um answers and with my connection with my loved ones. This is why I have an assistant because I I don't want to know anything about you prior to the reading. I I am the biggest skeptic of this, and which is weird. It is such a dichotomy. I need the evidence of seeing, okay, your mom, your dad, your child, your husband, wife, what have you is still there. So that gives me faith and hope and confidence that mine are as well too. Now, certainly I've had my experiences and I've had my connections with my loved ones, I think no different than most of us, but the continuity of that has not been increased simply because I, you know, see people in spirit. That that is not my experience at all.

SPEAKER_02

I I I think that's so important because I uh, you know, a lot of people say, Well, why can't you do that? Why can't you just, you know, have this in real-time discussion with your husband, with your child? And we do always question, right? Well, is that just my imagination?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. The same as you, the same as you and any other client. I mean, we just kind of need validation for those things. And I've never had a reading. I've just I've never had one from anybody. Um, it's not something I feel ever drawn to do because I know in my soul that my loved ones are okay. I just miss them. I miss those interactions, I miss the physicality, just like everyone else does. I do not get to bypass any human emotions just because I see people in spirit. That is a fallacy of the highest degree. Doesn't happen. But, you know, I I have comfort that I know they're okay. I there are some people in spirit that I am able to have a stronger connection with. But is it constant? No, it's not. And I think that's valuable.

SPEAKER_04

Do you think I wonder just because obviously you were born with this, and it is a profound gift. You are very, very good, very, very connected. Um, do you believe that really everyone and anyone can make connections, that everyone has some degree or can build the ability?

Signs From Spirit And Mediumship Myths

SPEAKER_04

What are your thoughts on that?

SPEAKER_00

I am absolutely the wrong person to ask. I mean, I've been as people have asked me when you teach a class, and and I would have no idea how to do that. I think maybe not so much everyone of us in a body has the ability to do this, but I can promise you everyone in spirit has the ability to send us signs to bring those connections. So is it innate in all of us? Can it be improved on? Possibly, but definitely everyone in spirit does their darndest to let us know that they are okay and to build that bridge when sometimes it feels like we're incapable of doing that. So I don't know, I I honestly I I never want to overpromise anything. I think there are courses and classes that are helpful. Um, I love the Monroe Institute. I love the Triad Mind. Those are amazing organizations, they're very science-backed based. And I think if anything can open you up, those would be two that would do it. But that that's the extent of my knowledge.

SPEAKER_02

I just I wouldn't want to say you you mentioned how amazing spirit is, right? And they all can come through, right? They all offer some signs. So sometimes we hear mediums or or people who have had a reading say something like, Oh, well, they said my loved one's not around, or my loved one is too busy right now, or you know, my loved one is not, you know, ready to talk with me yet. What do you think about that when you you hear that about spirit? Do you find the same the same thing?

SPEAKER_00

I do not. I I don't find that to be true. Um, I I just think maybe some mediums are more tuned in than others. I uh again, I don't want to casicate or point fingers and I that that would never be my intention because we all have different gifts and abilities and things that we're good at. I just for me, I'm I know that they show up for you. They do not show up for me so much. You know, I'm I'm the I I work for the UN of people as very like I'm just their translator, and that is really how I feel. That's my duty in all of this. But they're always around, and I don't fault a medium for not being able to locate someone. Um, but that's not typically been my experience at all. Now, some I think personality stays very much the same, and so that's my strength because I don't focus on names or dates or anniversaries, so I really hone in on the personality, and I think that's very congruent in spirit. Now, the the idiosyncrasies sometimes they fall away, and certainly any illness or um aches and pains or discomfort, those go away, but really we stay the same in my experience. Again, no dogma, but that that's been my experience in doing this.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, that mine is well, and I appreciate you saying this, and it's interesting. I um identify so much with your your path and your philosophy that it when I read, it's it's very much the same. It is so much about the personality, the feeling, that energy that comes through so strongly. And of course, evidence is there, but I'm I'm not sitting there with details about names and dates and whatnot. It's it's much more about who they are and what they want to um share and and recertify. And you know, when you when you see that the that the the client is is becomes very aware that their person is here with them. I mean, it's just profound.

SPEAKER_00

And and also I I mean, no offense to anybody, but there's some dishonorable people in this field that are less than honest and and maybe not as scrupulous as they should be. And and names and dates, I think, are something that could be easily researched, whereas a great deal of personality and specific events that no one else would have on, you know, an obituary or Facebook or Twitter or whatever, you know, I I think those are much more, to me, that is much more evidence than anything else. I just tested with Forever Family Foundation and passed and was certified. Huge achievement. But I appreciate the way that they did their testing because you had 15 minutes and rapid fire, and I was very certain that I wouldn't do well because I don't get names and dates. I don't focus on that. I just had a preponderance of evidence, so of of personality and events and and personal, you know, anecdotes. So some people prefer the names and dates, and I think that's great. That's just not been something that I've tend to focus on.

Identity And Being Remembered

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So I I want to ask kind of a different question. You you talked about kind of childhood in your experience. I wonder what your 13 year old self would think about you today and what you're doing.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think she would be surprised at all. As a very little child, I would tell, I mean, I mean, I was just such a weird odd duck. Seriously. I I I'm just being completely honest. I remember two, three years old telling people, I'm going to do this when I grow up and I'm going to have this many kids and blah, you know, I just it so at 13, I don't think I would be very surprised at what has encountered. I don't understand why I was so excited about all of this because let me tell you, the journey, I like I look back at that and I go, oh my gosh, who would be excited about this? But I was at the time, even at a younger age. Uh, I think I would be kinder to that little girl. Uh, I certainly think that's advice for all of us, but you know, and maybe a little bit more patient. I was just so excited for all of this to start. And again, in hindsight, I'm like, why? Uh, I don't know, but yeah, I don't think she would be that surprised.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Did you find when you were um growing up? Did you like, did you share some of this with friends and people?

SPEAKER_00

Oh my gosh, listen, I uh as a little girl, and I remember this. My mom would refresh my memory often. At five years old, I wanted to go to nursing homes. And this is so unusual. But I would go and have my mom drop me off in nursing homes, and I would run to the people in their wheelchair or their bed, and I would go, Oh my gosh, you're gonna go see Jesus soon. And this is who's I mean, how inappropriate is that that this is what I would want to do. I thought I should be a nun because I thought, oh, these are mystical experiences, and that was my only comparison to what this could be like. So I would spend summers in a convent. What young preteen wants to do that? I don't know, but you know, it's it's been an interesting life. But I I've found that I've always kind of innately known what I was going to do without all the details. Let me be very clear about that. It was just kind of a broad picture of what this was going to look like. And it's not been very out of step, I will have to say. It's been kind of predictable.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. How interesting, how fascinating. And again, I relate so much to what you're saying. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to talk with you. So you are someone who is very inspiring to me. I so much appreciate your path. I appreciate what you have to say, and and it's validating to me in so many ways. Who inspires you in your world? Who lights you up?

SPEAKER_00

Who who uh my grandmother. I I mean, honestly, that was my person. Um, there's I I have a huge longing to understand consciousness, so that's something that I would really so um the anyone that really delves into that realm um is just you know piqued my interest to some extent. But I think that it's more the individual relationships that that I want to aspire to, the honor and the integrity. And let me just be very clear. I'm the very kind words that you said, Donna, but I can't really take any credit for anything that I do. I I really can't. If no one in spirit shows up, I have nothing to say. I I feel humbled, and I it it's always an honor to play the role that I do. It's really just an intermediary. So I'm inspired by everyone that that has an honest thinking, and and particularly people that continue to search. I want to to be like that. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So at the end of this lifetime, many years from now, your grandma surpassed a hundred, so many years from now, at the end of your life, how do you how do you want to be remembered, Isabella? What what do you want to leave behind?

SPEAKER_00

What a great question. I was just talking to my husband about this the other day. I miss my grandmother so much, and I I want anyone, if there's just one person that would have fond memories and think that I helped them, I can't think of a greater memorial. I I really can't. To just be of service, to have eased suffering for even a few moments, I I think that that would have made me of use. And there's always things I wish I could do better or differently. And you know, I I am my harshest critic in everything in life, which is probably not that unusual. But I to be of service and to lighten the load for someone in pain or suffering, that would be a great honor.

SPEAKER_04

I wonder, do you do you think you are obviously very service-minded and always have been based on what you're sharing with us? You've been mindful of others and their needs. And so I I think I understand the answer to my question here. But what is it that you think has given you the confidence to do this work and to, I mean, it's really a very bold thing to do. And I get that you are are saying very clearly that you are literally the medium, the one in the middle, that this is I I understand that, but but to to speak the words, to share and to connect for people. What how how is it that you have this confidence? What has done that for you?

SPEAKER_00

I think just time and validation, and I no longer need that in the way that I did in my 20s. I just have confidence that everyone in spirit knows what they're doing. And I think that's where I get it from, that I know that they're going to show up. Well, I pray that they're going to show up, and they do. And I know that they'll know what needs to be said more so than I ever could. Um, I think it's just almost 40 years of doing this and having a sense of familiarity with how it will feel and or should feel and look, and and I just a tremendous amount of trust. Like I have a great team and spirit that I love ones huge of that.

SPEAKER_04

We've we froze out for the last moment of what you were saying, but I think we we got the what of what you were uh what you were sharing, and um thank you for this. I'm uh so I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Honestly, I I I don't know. I never thought of it in that manner. I don't I don't feel confident in what I do. I am nervous, Nelly, from until I see the client, or actually until I see the first person in spirit, I am panicked every single time. Just very prayerful. Oh my gosh, please someone show up. I froze again.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, we froze, we froze again. But here we are, back again. And I I appreciate you sharing that too. You that you're um yeah, worried until that first person shows up and then that path is open. Um, no, I I understand that is very helpful to me. Right.

SPEAKER_00

It's just like please, please, please, someone show up. Yeah, I do not know what to do for an hour otherwise. Right. It's never failed me. They've always done it, but there's still that anxiety that, oh my gosh, yeah, what if it, what if this is the time? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And I think one of my biggest learnings along the way is to just share those random, weird, strange, like, what is this? Why even saying this this thing seems so obscure? So am I really hearing that? Am I really? And then you share that, and of course, that's the thing that it you know is the the the piece that um that they were needing to hear. Right. Validation they were needing to hear. So I've learned over time.

SPEAKER_00

Don't don't I no longer try to introduce left brain into anything I'm doing. If it's being shown to me or said it's getting said, period, the end. I have no idea what it may mean, yeah, but to the client it's valuable. And I'm like, okay, all right, let's go.

SPEAKER_04

Let's go. Exactly. Oh, I love this. That's wonderful.

Rapid Fire And What Hope Means

SPEAKER_02

Looking looking at time, I think it's time to switch up a little bit and we're gonna go to our rapid fire questions if you're okay with that. Okay. Like Donna said, we're just gonna throw some questions out at you and whatever comes to mind. So these are kind of fun. I guess we think they're fun anyway. So if you're walking up to the stage, being called to the stage for your award or this great presentation you're giving, what would be your walk-in song?

SPEAKER_00

Oh my gosh. Um, I love music. Okay, this is gonna be completely unexpected. I I have music on all day long when I dive bar beauty queen.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Very unexpected, incredibly unexpected. Yep. Or something from Wayland Jennings, or I could go Led Zeppelin or Van Halen. Very eclectic with that. Nothing after 1985 will ever. I was just gonna say, you're a girl of the 80s. Come on.

SPEAKER_04

Well, 70s to 80s, like, yes, I did that's my music. I love it. That's so good. Okay. What book changed you?

SPEAKER_00

The Stand by Stephen King. I probably read that 15 times. I loved it, and I read it when I was like 11, so not exactly appropriate reading for a child. Uh, true crime, anything true crime. Um, a profound spiritual book, which is probably what you're looking for. Um any book. Uh, I don't know. I mean, I I am not as a voracious of a reader as I used to be. Um, yeah, I'm gonna go with the stand. That was my first answer. I love that book.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, right. And I have not been able to read Stephen King, but my husband and my son both love Stephen King.

SPEAKER_00

Adore him.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, incredible. What movie lives rent-free in your brain?

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Um, the third man or someone else. The third man. Love it, love it, absolutely love it.

SPEAKER_04

You are so interesting.

SPEAKER_00

I'm weird. I think the word you're looking for is weird.

SPEAKER_04

No, we we weird recognizes weird and appreciates it. Okay. It's all interesting, yes. What did you love doing as a kid that you love doing to this day?

SPEAKER_00

Dogs. Um anything with dogs. I've got five dogs. We've got a stray dog down the street that I'm trying, I'm feeding twice a day. We've got a trail case. I I just I I love anything having to do with animals at all. I've got such a big heart for them. Um, singing, I cannot sing to save my life. My children, when they were little, I would sing lullabies and they would get, you know, put their little palms over my mouth. I just I I I feel very childlike in most of my life. Like I really, I don't have a great deal of common sense. That that is a gene that is absolutely missing. So there's a childlike naivete that that kind of lives on the simple things. I don't know. I don't know. I love it. I love that.

SPEAKER_04

Do you can I ask, do you um connect with dogs and animals and yes?

SPEAKER_00

And I absolutely it's it's torturous. I think I'm going to stop doing it. It's just um, yeah, I I I I like animals a lot more than I don't want to say most people, but several people. So for me, there's just that pureness and being able to connect with an animal, it is profoundly shocking, but also comforting that they're such a sentient being as well, too, and able to show me their life and and how they transition and the gratitudes and the feelings and things that are very evidential that again are not wild guesses, but very descriptive of personality and what they look like. And yes, but it's I I cry more at those than any it's just it's it's hard. Yeah. But we we say our animals go on, our pets go on just as much as you and I in a human body do.

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely. I one of my uh what can I say? But the most profound favorite things that my son in spirit has shown me or that just move me so deeply is that he showed me very clearly in his transition instantly, his lifetime dog, our dog, how he was there, how he was there, how he just bounded, right? Bounded to him, and that gives me such incredible comfort and joy to see that I could I can see that still, and how he was right there, and so to welcome his boy.

SPEAKER_00

Such pure innocent love, right? Like just as unconditional, always happy to see us, always grateful. And um outside of my grandmother and my daughter, that's who I want to see first, are are my dogs and my cat, like just I don't know. That's it for me.

SPEAKER_02

I love it. Yeah, so what in the world is lighting you up right now?

SPEAKER_00

Being out in nature, um so much in a way that I never thought possible because I've always been a city girl, like I've always lived in not small places, Phoenix and Vegas, and lived all over the world. But being out in nature, the simple things in life just are really it's I love it. I just the simple things, the silence.

SPEAKER_04

That that's what I'm I'm imagining it, and I'm imagining the silence, and I'm imagining the presence. Right. It would force one to really just be in that movement connected. I can that makes sense to me. Yeah, yeah. Wow, beautiful. Okay. What color is hope?

SPEAKER_02

White. White, white. What does hope sound like?

SPEAKER_00

The ability to believe that tomorrow will be better, or five minutes will be better, or a year from now will be better. And I think for me, that's just really come with the age that I've survived everything so far. Yeah, and there is hope that tomorrow will be better.

SPEAKER_04
