Living Intuitively: Trusting Your Soul Through Travel | Kelsey Anderson 🔮 · The Psychic Explorer

0:08
Hello everyone and welcome to another episode
0:10
of The Psychic Explorer. How are you? It's May,
0:14
it's May's guest episode and today I have the
0:17
wonderful Kelsey Anderson talking to you about
0:20
travel and intuition. It's a lovely conversation
0:23
which I hope you are going to get something from.
0:26
You may or may not know that I am travel obsessed.
0:30
My wanderlust, I class as an incurable disease.
0:35
It's just something within me which I cannot
0:37
get rid of and I love it. There's nothing better
0:39
for me than getting on a plane and just taking
0:43
me away to some other place. Not that I don't
0:46
love where I live, not that I don't enjoy where
0:49
I am, but there's something about going to somewhere
0:52
which is so foreign, so alien, so strange, and
0:57
absorbing a part of that culture to bring it
0:59
back home with me. Like myself, Kelsey is travel
1:03
-obsessed. Her and her family have just come
1:05
back from a massive adventure. They moved from
1:08
the US, went to live in Scotland, and then they
1:10
tried a bit of England, and they've just come
1:12
back from living in Croatia. Now that is fantastic.
1:16
However, the really amazing part is when I tell
1:19
you, almost none of it was planned. Kelsey just
1:22
had this guiding intuition within her and went
1:26
with it. So if you think this episode is about
1:28
comparing notes about where we went, I went here,
1:31
you went there, absolutely not. This conversation
1:34
is all about intuition and the effect of exploring
1:37
our world can have on our spirituality and our
1:41
practices. We also cover how total trust in one's
1:45
intuition can affect those around us, like spouses
1:48
and how this newly found guidance might affect
1:51
the dynamics of a relationship. In this conversation
1:54
about travel, it might seem irrelevant to spirituality,
1:58
but everything we talk about relates to life
2:01
in some way. So I'm not going to go on much longer,
2:04
but just to say a big thank you to Kelsey for
2:07
trusting me with what you had to say about exploring
2:10
life and our world. But also, just if you say
2:15
nothing else in this conversation, just be in
2:18
awe of Kelsey's ability to be able to just completely
2:22
trust in her intuition and go with the flow.
2:25
We could all take a lot of lessons from what
2:29
Kelsey has to teach us. So without further ado,
2:33
here is the wonderful Kelsey Anderson. Kelsey,
2:43
it is so good to see you. How are you? I am really
2:47
wonderful in the sense of just... Being here,
2:51
enjoying this energy, really just appreciating
2:55
the connection that we are having or will have
2:58
in this hour. I just feel delighted, yeah, to
3:01
share this space with you. Well, we've been speaking
3:04
on Instagram, direct messaging for a little while
3:06
now. I came across your wonderful podcast, SoulThreads,
3:11
probably... I want to say about a year ago actually,
3:15
so it's been bubbling in the back of my background.
3:19
I've listened to lots and lots of episodes. I
3:21
love your calm energy that you bring. And even
3:25
talking to you today, I was just saying to you
3:27
before we were recording, oh my god, I'm so hectic.
3:29
My brain is everywhere, and I've been having
3:31
a really, really hectic day. And you're just
3:33
like the essence of zen. It's so soothing to
3:36
listen to. How do you find that? How do you find
3:39
that sense? Is that just you? Have you always
3:41
been that way? I feel like the core of my soul
3:45
energy has probably been that way, but my experience
3:48
in this human form in this life has not been
3:51
that way until the last couple years. And it
3:54
wasn't ever a purposeful intention, but what
3:56
happened is when I started speaking my truth
3:59
and going into this work as a medium and energy
4:03
intuitive that I actually just fell into this
4:06
energy. where it's more embodied, I think, so
4:10
it feels more natural and less performative than
4:13
earlier parts of my life. I think I need to still
4:16
move into that part of me. I'm not there yet.
4:21
It's a daily practice to worry. I wanted to speak
4:27
with you, Kelsey, because you have just come
4:29
back from a mega... Well, I would consider at
4:33
least a mega life... adventure, really. I love
4:41
travel. I gather you love travel as well. And
4:46
when I go away, I like to take my microphone
4:49
with me, record random sounds and take my deck
4:53
of tarot or my oracle cards with me and do a
4:55
little reading for the listeners. And I love
4:58
taking people with me. I just find that getting
5:00
away from my life is such, it's not necessarily
5:04
an escape. But it certainly shows me other ways
5:08
of being and actually allows me to get back to
5:12
me. Would you mind telling the dear listeners
5:15
about your adventure that you've just come back
5:18
from? Absolutely. And it is a massive adventure
5:22
and I do feel the same way about travel. And
5:24
I think that's part of the beauty of this conversation
5:26
is how it weaves into our lives and why we're
5:29
drawn to it, like on a soul level. But to give
5:32
you the... more condensed version. We left America.
5:37
We were in Washington state. I have a son. So
5:40
my husband, my son and I and our two cats. So
5:42
we brought our two cats with us along on this
5:44
adventure. And I have the privilege of having
5:46
dual citizenship in the UK. So we went to Scotland
5:50
and to the Highlands. I was just fell in love
5:53
with Faraz, which is this little town on the
5:55
Moray coast right outside of the Highlands on
5:58
the North Sea. And so we just moved there on
6:00
a whim. We didn't have a place to live. We didn't
6:02
have housing. we just showed up and said, I'm
6:05
going to trust that this is all going to work
6:06
out for me. And over the months we were planning
6:10
to stay there, but intuitively life took us other
6:13
directions. And so we spent some time down near
6:17
Birmingham. And then we also ended up following
6:20
our, I know we were in more like Worcester area,
6:24
but. I just scrunched up my face. The second
6:29
that Kelsey said, Birmingham, I went, oh dear.
6:33
Which is so interesting because from an outside
6:35
perspective, we found the beauty in it. We had
6:38
heard some opinions and things, and we ended
6:41
up just having these delightful experiences in
6:44
and around Birmingham and just between women's
6:47
circles. I did some residence weeks in mediumship
6:50
while I was in the UK. In that time, I actually
6:53
went to Bali for a bit and came back. And then
6:56
we ended up following our heart to Croatia, to
6:59
the Adriatic Sea. So it was all in all about
7:02
eight and a half months. And our goal each step
7:06
of the way was to obtain visas and stay. And
7:08
each step we kept getting redirected, redirected,
7:11
redirected. And we just realized that we were
7:15
being redirected back to the United States, which
7:17
we had said we would never come back. And here
7:20
we are living back in Montana and Western Montana
7:23
in this beautiful little mountain town that we've
7:25
lived in for 10 years on and off. And something
7:29
about this mountain town just couldn't, our hearts
7:32
couldn't let go of it. Like it just drew us back.
7:34
And so living an intuitively guided life or trusting
7:37
that, that is for sure not our last time with
7:41
Scotland or living there or being there. It just
7:43
was meant to be. You know, when you go on adventures,
7:46
when you travel or when you move, I think the
7:48
human mind always says, this is permanent. This
7:51
is my place. I'm going to land and this is where
7:54
I'm going to stay. And we caught ourselves really
7:56
having that permanent mindset, but life intuition
7:59
and my spirit team had other plans for that evolving.
8:05
And so then we went, okay, what if this isn't
8:07
permanent? What if it's just a big grand adventure
8:09
and we see where it goes? I think many people
8:13
get so caught up in the everyday, what about
8:17
mortgages, what about work, what about this,
8:19
what about that. It's, and forgive me for saying
8:21
this, I'm sure you've heard this many times,
8:23
but it's so brave of you, especially with a family,
8:25
young family too, to just trust that gut instinct
8:29
that it's going to be okay. And lo and behold,
8:32
it is, it works out perfect. it actually is okay
8:37
to feel brave. Like, you know, sometimes we don't
8:39
claim that for ourselves or say, wow, I was being
8:41
really courageous or really brave or a little
8:44
bit overly optimistic even and trusted, but it
8:47
does coming off of it, it does feel that way.
8:50
And it is really nice to trust yourself, trust
8:53
your spirit team, trust the information you're
8:56
getting, and then it all works out for you. And
8:59
to have that proven over and over again, I think
9:01
is really delightful. because it rewires your
9:04
brain a little bit. It rewires the way you look
9:06
at life. It's funny, you say this and I'm reflecting
9:09
on my own life and I've always just... gone for
9:12
it, if it feels good, just go for it and it will
9:15
always work out no matter what. I've never, this
9:18
sounds really cocky and touch wood, but I've
9:21
never been in dire straits. We have quit our
9:24
day jobs and we went to live in France ourselves.
9:27
It didn't work out, but what an experience we
9:29
had. And when we came back, we were in a different
9:32
place and different position that we thought,
9:34
actually, we don't want to be. where we were
9:36
we want to be somewhere different and we came
9:38
and settled here and we were able to buy our
9:40
own house we would never been able to afford
9:41
to buy a house where we were so it's just this
9:43
domino effect of trusting your instinct going
9:46
with it and trusting that it's going to be okay.
9:49
And this is what I really want to talk to you
9:50
today about, Kelsey, your utter trust in your
9:53
intuition, and this comes up so many times in
9:55
your podcast, but also with travel. And I want
9:58
to really delve into how travel affects you.
10:01
But before we go there, would you mind just sharing
10:04
with the listeners, and myself, actually, because
10:06
I don't know the story yet. What is your background?
10:09
What is your mediumship journey? We all have
10:11
one. Where did you start? And was there a catalyst
10:14
that opened your door? I love being able to share
10:20
this because it is such an interesting evolution.
10:23
I think of, again, trusting the full trust and
10:28
flow. So as a child, I was extra sensory perceptive.
10:34
I would share that. But the adult system schooling,
10:37
it just isn't designed to support. young child
10:40
saying I see the spirit of someone in my house
10:44
and That door shut really early, but I was always
10:48
very sensitive. I'm neurodiverse very sensitive
10:51
to You know all my senses feel very expansive
10:55
even as a child, but I coped a lot in college
11:01
and beyond by just trying to be really normal,
11:05
like that neurotypical shutting it all down,
11:08
living that career life. And so I just said,
11:10
okay, I'm going to focus on my energy and set
11:12
a goal to become a corporate business management
11:16
consultant. And I went to school for my, you
11:19
know, bachelor's and master's. I just really,
11:22
and I achieved that and it was empty. And I loved
11:26
the people I worked with and I loved the work
11:28
I got to do that actually was impactful. But
11:31
as I reached that goal right around that time,
11:35
my whole life was like, this is not your path.
11:38
There's something here that is missing. I could
11:40
feel it in my whole soul, my whole body. And
11:42
so I just ended up, because it was such a dark
11:45
night of the soul, such a part of that spiritual
11:48
awakening, I got really curious. So Reiki was
11:51
my entry into all of this and then really loved
11:55
Reiki, had a small Reiki practice for a bit.
11:59
And then I remember being in this group, it was
12:04
advanced energy intuition. I was in for a couple
12:06
of years with this amazing teacher and one day
12:08
we did a class on mediumship and I remember feeling
12:12
the presence of that first person come through
12:14
in a normal context, meaning like in a class
12:17
context not out in the world and being like,
12:20
I felt this before. This is what I've been feeling
12:23
this whole time and the puzzle pieces just click,
12:26
click, click or the gears I should say clicked
12:28
all together and Then, it was that point of mediumship
12:33
where the floodgates opened a little bit too
12:36
much. I know this is very personal, but I think
12:39
you'll appreciate how this happens. I was getting
12:42
a massage and I remember just feeling like I
12:46
couldn't enjoy the massage because this woman's
12:49
grandmother was in the room with us and really
12:52
talkative. That's when I went, okay, I need to
12:54
learn about this. I need to learn how to connect
12:57
with the spirit world. have boundaries with this
13:00
and I just have been in the pursuit of it ever
13:04
since. I quit my corporate job, never looked
13:06
back on that and made a complete life shift,
13:10
all while being with a partner who knew me a
13:12
certain way and was like, okay, we're going this
13:14
way. And honestly, we're getting to know this
13:17
whole new identity inversion, which is who I've
13:23
become. And motherhood was a big, honestly, a
13:25
big portal to that too. very open in that time
13:28
and so I had to actually just learn how to navigate
13:33
that with some some tough time, some grace, some
13:38
ease but overall it was just a this goal was
13:41
never mind and my soul's asking me to do something
13:43
else. We're recording this in February. I was
13:48
listening to your episode, your most recent episode
13:50
yesterday, and you were saying that you've lived
13:52
in almost all 50 states, you've done loads of
13:56
different jobs. You do talk about having this
13:59
utter trust that everything will be okay in your
14:01
intuition. Where does that come from? How did
14:04
you find that and how can you, how do you sustain
14:07
that? The depth of that question feels so resonant
14:11
and... I'm like listening for what's coming up
14:14
because I feel like something in me wants to
14:17
speak beyond what my cognitive mind wants to
14:20
say. If I'm being just full on honest, which
14:23
I always try to be, but mostly with myself in
14:25
this moment too, I feel that I ignored it to
14:29
a point where life got so hard and so tough and
14:34
so troublesome and so dark that there was no
14:37
other way but to figure out why. and then to
14:41
reconnect with that part of myself that I'd shut
14:43
down for so long. And the minute I started doing
14:47
that and honestly coming back into the connection
14:50
never left, but it had to keep getting louder
14:52
and louder and louder for me to listen. And finally
14:55
it got to a point where I said, this isn't working.
14:58
Life isn't working. It's not supposed to be like
15:00
this. And that's when I started listening again.
15:03
And when I started building that trust of like,
15:05
I got a little, Oh, maybe I shouldn't, you know,
15:08
order that drink because it's not actually one
15:10
I prefer. It's not one my body even likes. It
15:14
happened when I quit drinking alcohol or changed
15:16
foods and all of these things. When I started
15:18
listening to what my body and my intuition and
15:21
myself was telling me, that's when my life got
15:25
honestly magical. And it went from very dark
15:29
and very hard to everything's actually working
15:33
out for me and my life is magic. And then I knew,
15:36
okay, this is what it's supposed to be like,
15:38
at least in my experience of this life. This
15:41
is our human birthright. This is what we get
15:44
to experience. And maybe part of the experience
15:47
is being told it's not, moving through that and
15:51
coming back to it for a lot of people so that
15:53
they can recognize that it actually can be this
15:56
way. So you took it forward literally with everything
16:01
that you do? Yeah. Amazing. You were saying to
16:04
your husband it was like or getting to know you
16:08
again. How did that go down? Because I'm really
16:11
curious because listeners will know that my other
16:14
half, Simon, doesn't believe in any of this stuff.
16:17
Just because where this has stemmed from for
16:19
me, there's like question marks over, is this
16:22
real or is there something else going on? I presume
16:24
that was not your case and he was like fully
16:27
on board with it. No, he wasn't. Okay, so how
16:30
did this work out then? Let's dish. You know,
16:37
I will say just to I hear your experience so
16:39
deeply and the mediums I know and the people
16:43
that I'm in circle with have a very similar experience
16:46
that their other half is With them in it meaning
16:49
they're there and they're still in the relationship
16:51
But it's kind of this piece that doesn't get
16:53
talked about a lot or there's or they don't believe
16:56
it or there's not a lot of interest in it and
16:58
you can't of course you can't force that on anybody
17:00
they have to decide what they will let in spiritually
17:03
in their own time, which is really hard. But
17:06
effectively, I feel grateful that he's open -minded
17:10
and curious. And I think at first, he was like,
17:14
that's cool. It's a little weird, but that's
17:17
cool. And then it kind of went to, you seem really
17:21
happy. And then it went to, by you doing this
17:25
and being in it and all these experiences, it
17:27
became too hard to ignore. the feedback or the
17:31
connections. I had a reading I did with one of
17:35
his friends where something came through so strongly.
17:37
It was about a uniform and his grandfather. When
17:40
I was describing it, the friend went into the
17:42
closet and said, this uniform. I think there
17:46
was moments like that with my husband where he
17:47
went, okay, I'm listening. You can't make that
17:52
up. Then it was, you seem really happy. You're
17:56
a great spouse. Even compared to what I was,
18:01
I just was kinder, more empathetic, I think trying
18:03
to be more loving because I was more in tune
18:06
with myself. And I do think that helped evolve
18:08
it. But it's been, we always say we've dated
18:11
six or seven different people within our marriage
18:14
because we're both always evolving. And you have
18:18
to get to know that person again and then say,
18:21
do I? Do I like them? Do I want to be with them?
18:24
Every time. And that's something that isn't talked
18:27
about as much in spiritual evolution within partnership.
18:31
It's an episode that I've been playing with,
18:34
actually a guest episode, but with Simon, with
18:36
himself. I don't know if he'd be up for it. Part
18:39
of me is like, I don't want to know how he feels
18:43
about it, because it's like if he completely
18:46
thinks it's just a load of mumbo jumbo. It's
18:48
such a big part of my life now that I've thought,
18:51
oh, that's scary if he thinks that. But you're
18:54
right, relationships, they go through seasons
18:56
and you need to learn to live with each other
18:59
over and over again. Over and over, especially
19:02
in the context of these things that are not as
19:06
mainstream or talked about and they're not as
19:08
socialized. I do feel though that in the context
19:12
of all of this, there was a time in our... recent
19:15
human history, where this wouldn't have been
19:18
as strange or odd. And I think it would have
19:20
been talked about even in childhood. And I think
19:24
about this with my own child. He's so socialized
19:26
to trusting himself, to listening to his body,
19:29
to his intuition, that it wouldn't be strange
19:31
for him to have a partner in life that would
19:34
have abilities open up. But because we live in
19:37
the society and structures we've grown up in,
19:40
it can take a lot more. expanding to accept that,
19:44
I think, for our people. And everyone's on their
19:47
own journey, but it is hard. And it can be kind
19:49
of interesting too, because sometimes you see
19:51
their curiosity peak and go from that's a load
19:55
of whatever to, oh, do you want to tell me about
20:00
it? And I think that's a beautiful evolution,
20:01
that curiosity. Yeah. If this is chiming with
20:04
listeners, I did interview last month Nat Lockett
20:08
and she is bringing her children up with these
20:12
gifts. Her children are realizing these gifts.
20:15
She has had this her whole life and her husband
20:17
is not natural to him, but he is open to it and
20:21
he has experienced stuff. What Nat says is just
20:24
try and make it as normal as possible because
20:26
the more you make it weird or odd, the more you
20:29
do want to shut it down. Oh, I love that. And
20:32
I can't wait to listen to that episode. That
20:35
feels so, yeah, so I just like feel it landing
20:38
like, whoo. Okay, let's get on to travel, shall
20:43
we? Oh, sure. We've established that you follow
20:47
your instinct, you follow your gut. Dare I ask,
20:50
what made you just pack up and go? Say, right,
20:55
we're going to Scotland, we're going. How did
20:57
that happen? So... I am blessed with the neurodivergent
21:01
gift of impulsivity, which helps a little because
21:04
what I find is when it is intuitively aligned
21:07
and you close the gap between action or decision
21:13
and moment, like there's momentum, right, decision
21:15
and action, then you don't have time for your
21:18
brain to second guess your intuition. And I'm
21:21
not saying that our brains aren't wildly important
21:25
for our existence because they absolutely are.
21:28
I find though that that's where all of the programming
21:33
doubts, fears, right? That's where all of that
21:35
likes to get in. But if my decision to action
21:38
is short, to close the gap, that's when the magic
21:41
happens. And so I went on a, I would say a bit
21:45
of a soul searching solo trip to Scotland. and
21:50
fell so deeply in love with this place that I
21:54
said, I have to live there. And I had a vision
21:57
board that was full of every single photo from
21:59
the Highland Coos to the, you know, every place
22:02
I would want to be. And then I looked at one
22:05
day and we had an opportunity where my husband
22:07
had a gap in what he was doing and we had the
22:10
resources saved up and we had a lease ending
22:12
at exactly that date. And I looked around our
22:15
life and I went, we're going. We're just going
22:19
to go." And he was like, oh, okay, we'll go.
22:24
And so we sold every bit of our belongings. We
22:27
just had our suitcases, said goodbye. Eleven
22:30
of them. Eleven suitcases from the last episode
22:34
that you put out. I was shocked to hear that.
22:37
I can only imagine the horror that the check
22:39
-in agent saw as you came up to the desk. There
22:43
was a lot of that. And to be honest, we were
22:45
like, this is way too much stuff. We were like,
22:48
never again. The reason we brought them is because
22:52
we thought we'd be living years and years and
22:53
years in Scotland. So why buy linens and pillows
22:56
and things over? So then we just ended up carting
22:58
them around everywhere. And they were so good
23:02
about it. But we definitely learned still stuff,
23:06
that much stuff. And that was only a fraction
23:08
of what you own in a household. So it's very
23:12
interesting, 11 suitcases, and two cats and a
23:16
child. So granted, one of those suitcases was
23:19
completely toys. We just said, you can pack whatever
23:21
you can fit in this. So I didn't mean to interrupt
23:25
you on purpose. No, it's okay. Just when you
23:28
said that in your last episode, that really struck
23:29
me. I thought, wow, that's a lot of baggage.
23:31
Yeah, metaphorically and figuratively. So I think
23:37
we were talking a little bit about how that happened.
23:40
It was impulsive. but it was a vision board.
23:43
So I looked up and just went, I'm going to make
23:45
this happen. And it did. And so I went, oh my
23:48
gosh, literally everything has aligned for this
23:52
one day, this one moment, this one week. And
23:54
it was the same concept of how we came back to
23:57
Montana. When we made the decision, we had like
23:59
two and a half or three weeks from what I remember
24:01
between deciding to move to Scotland and leaving
24:04
and selling everything. So it was a very short
24:08
amount of time between the two. And I find that
24:10
when I move, not hustle, not hectic either, not
24:14
from chaos, but from assuredness, that is when
24:19
you just trust. When you're on the road, life
24:23
can be freeing, it can be chaotic. I wonder how
24:26
travel affected your gifts. Did you notice any
24:30
dips or revving up of your connection? Oh, yeah.
24:36
So when... It's all of it, and when we're in
24:42
the travel of chaos, the making flights, the
24:46
getting it, I find that my inner world, my calm
24:51
and just centering and grounding, it requires
24:52
a lot more nervous system support, a lot more
24:55
of that. But I find that mediumistically and
24:58
stuff that feels pretty shut off when there's
25:00
tons of chaos and overwhelm. But the minute we
25:03
land somewhere, it's expansion. And so we decided
25:07
early on when we knew we weren't going to be
25:09
obtaining visas that we would use this as a time
25:13
for me to expand my frame of reference for mediumship.
25:16
That's actually how we positioned it as a family.
25:19
Because when you're in new cultures, new places,
25:21
and I'm curious, I really would love to hear
25:23
how this is for you too. When you're traveling
25:25
and your world is expanding, you're meeting new
25:27
people, new foods, sights, smells, tastes. The
25:30
wind in Scotland carried more messages than I've
25:33
ever heard in my entire life. Like I just would
25:35
sit with the wind and just receive. I mean, it
25:38
was absolutely incredible. I find that you can
25:43
actually then connect with more people. when
25:45
they come to you, like the spirit world will
25:47
connect you with more people. So I was able to
25:49
read for people in Scotland, in the UK, in Portugal,
25:51
and some other places. And then even in Croatia,
25:54
you're learning new words, new language. And
25:56
that allows you to then have someone in the spirit
25:59
worlds come through and expand your frame of
26:01
reference. And it ended up really being like
26:03
that. So there were dips. There were definitely
26:05
dips. There were really hard weeks. We were living
26:08
in a 425 square foot caravan as a family of three
26:12
with two kids. in the highlands, in a field.
26:16
So that is where we ended up being guided to.
26:20
And I loved it. I loved it and it was wild. It
26:25
was absolutely wild. What month was this? What
26:27
time of year was this? It was the best time of
26:30
year to be doing that. It was May through September,
26:33
October. And this was last year, right? Yeah.
26:37
2025, yeah. So apparently, yeah, summer, 2025
26:40
is summer in Scotland. Last year was just phenomenal.
26:42
Like they've never had such a good summer. Amazing.
26:46
And I'm like, how did we land here for the best
26:50
six months that they've had in such a long time
26:53
of summer? I mean, I just felt like the luckiest
26:56
human alive to be doing that, especially in a
27:00
living situation like that, where you're just
27:03
really almost just enough walls to have the elements
27:07
out, but the minute you wake up, you're kind
27:09
of just outside your door. Yeah, literally, yeah.
27:14
I love that you bought in frame of reference.
27:16
For me, it's not a case of if I go abroad, if
27:20
I go somewhere, it's a new symbol, it's a new
27:22
experience for me to translate for someone that
27:24
I'm reading for. But what... for me at least,
27:28
traveling does, especially in ancient places,
27:31
connecting with the earth, connecting with ancient
27:34
churches and temples in Asia, or whatever it
27:38
might be, this conditioning that we have, it's
27:42
all bollops. Like, it doesn't matter. We've been
27:46
here for thousands, hundreds of thousands of
27:48
years. And the things that we are so focused
27:52
on in our lives, Really, when you strip it all
27:55
back, it really doesn't matter. It's about the
27:57
connections that we make, the rhythms of the
28:01
earth that vibrate it. For me, it just opens
28:04
up a new world and allows me to step into it.
28:08
It doesn't necessarily allow me to ramp up my
28:10
spiritual abilities, but it allows me to connect
28:13
to a calmer, more peaceful, maybe not more peaceful,
28:18
but... a more simple time that I think we all
28:22
yearn for. I really do feel that. And thank you
28:25
for sharing that. And also what you said about
28:27
the symbol library was so powerful, just the
28:30
way that the visual of that for like, yes, that's
28:35
exactly what it is. It's allowing ourselves to
28:38
have new things we can reference and these symbols,
28:41
we understand what they mean for us so that we
28:43
can help other people understand what it means
28:45
for them, their loved one. And there is that
28:48
something ancient where you just feel this is
28:51
where my human is supposed to be spending more
28:53
time. I remember walking through this path through
28:57
the woods and going down to the river. And I
28:59
did it a couple of times. And honestly, coming
29:02
from that American, even though we had kind of
29:04
rejected hustle culture for a long time and rejected
29:06
some things coming from that way of just kind
29:10
of. going quickly, it really allowed us to slow
29:13
down. And I remember walking through the woods
29:15
and turning and saying, there's a building under
29:18
that. I think it was like Ivy or something and
29:21
peering through it. And I felt like I was in
29:22
the secret garden and I was discovering this
29:24
old school building that was just, and I just
29:27
thought this is in the middle of the woods and
29:29
we can just be doing this. We can just be doing
29:33
this. It's amazing. Are you inspired yet? I certainly
29:47
am. I thank Kelsey from the bottom of my heart.
29:51
I know I said this earlier on, but honestly,
29:53
re -listening to this just makes me think we
29:56
all just need to listen to ourselves so much
29:57
more. The path of life could be so much more
30:01
interesting if we all just followed that intuition,
30:03
that instinct, to be just a bit more brave and
30:06
courageous than we otherwise normally would.
30:09
Okay, quick self -promotion. You can find me
30:13
at the .sidekick .explorer. That is on Facebook,
30:16
Instagram and threads. If you like this podcast,
30:20
honestly, you'd be doing such a favour if you
30:22
would either like it, subscribe, click that notification
30:24
bell. I know I sound like a right tosser, but
30:28
please, please, please, because it does help
30:30
other people find this very organic, very indie
30:34
podcast. Also, just to say, make sure you keep
30:37
listening after the interview, because I've got
30:39
a couple of announcements that I want to make.
30:42
I've been to the US a few times, and there's
30:45
always this phrase that bumbles around in my
30:46
brain, and it says, in America, 100 miles is
30:50
nothing, but 100 years is everything. And for
30:52
us, 100 miles is massive, but 100 years is nothing.
30:57
It feels very, very true and aligned. especially
31:02
just connecting with friends in the UK. For me,
31:06
I was like, I'm only a three -hour train ride,
31:08
I'll just pop on the train down for a day or
31:10
two, and they're like, what? I don't think it's
31:14
true. Going down from Scotland, we drove from
31:18
London all the way up. For us, that 13 -hour
31:21
drive was no big deal because we're used to doing
31:23
road trips like that, but people are like, you
31:25
drove the whole way. It's true. No, it's just
31:29
a different way of thinking things, but I love
31:33
that we have so much culture here. We have so
31:36
much opportunity to connect to old stuff like
31:41
in our village, there's a church and part of
31:44
it goes back to the Norman Conquest like 1066.
31:48
And you can see on the side of the church, there's
31:51
this marker where in Elizabethan times, my village
31:56
was actually a port, a harbor. And it's like
31:59
we're like 10 miles from the coast, but just
32:02
shows the difference in the land has changed
32:04
so much in that time that it's recorded on the
32:06
corner of a church that this is where the water
32:09
used to be. This is where the level used to be.
32:12
And it's just like, I love it. It's just amazing.
32:16
Yeah, it's incredible. to some of the most truly,
32:21
like I keep saying magical, but imbued with just
32:24
history and meaning and depth and spiritually,
32:29
I'm curious how that is for you, but how it influences
32:33
the way you work and the way you perceive things,
32:37
because I'm pulling from a personal experience,
32:40
like the first time I went to Edinburgh, I...
32:42
could see layers like psychically of times past.
32:46
And I remember looking at the cars going by and
32:48
I turned my head and then they turned into like
32:51
horse and buggy and the streets all changed and
32:53
everyone was wearing different clothing for just
32:55
that minute. And I went, I'm perceiving like
32:58
the layers of a place. And in the States, I'd
33:01
never had that happen before. Yeah. It's getting
33:03
away from your norm, isn't it? It really is.
33:06
It's also having a chance to look up. Everyone
33:09
can do this. They can go to their local town,
33:11
and because it's their local town, they know
33:13
it. They know it inside and out. It's just second
33:15
nature. But if you were just to stop and look
33:19
above you, look at the buildings, and they don't
33:21
have anything special, but suddenly you notice
33:23
things about them, and you think, oh, OK, I didn't
33:26
notice that before. Maybe there's a wind vane
33:29
on the peak of a roof or the windows or a certain
33:32
design or something, or that they've got stained
33:34
glass in the window. And it's things like that
33:38
that I love noticing when we're traveling. I
33:40
mean, when we're away, I take so many photos.
33:43
Like, my phone album is just bursting because
33:47
I just take so many photos. Because I'm so curious
33:50
about what is different. And that is what I also
33:53
love about me. I'm really curious about what
33:56
I can get from the other side and what they can
33:58
bring through. How they use my symbol library.
34:02
But definitely for me, traveling is just about
34:04
connecting to what was and also experiencing
34:08
different cultures, experiencing different ways
34:11
of believing or different belief systems. And
34:15
I wonder with you, Kelsey, did you experience
34:18
that going through the UK, Croatia, and Bali
34:23
as well? Did that allow you to open up a different
34:27
way of thinking about spirituality or a way of
34:30
your mediumship? How did that work out? It shifted
34:35
everything, actually. It shifted me. It shifted
34:39
what I felt like. Here's the way I will put it.
34:43
When we live our daily lives in a place, a place
34:45
we've known or a place we call home around people
34:48
we've known, it's beautiful. And until we...
34:51
remember that everyone else on the planet is
34:54
living their own version of that, we can often
34:57
think that this is the only way. And so when
35:00
we go experience other people's versions of that
35:03
or their day -to -day lives, it reminds us that
35:05
we have the full co -creation opportunity to
35:09
live in any way we choose, really. Bali was a
35:13
very big part of that for me. I ended up staying
35:16
with a family in one of their traditional homes
35:20
as they were preparing for a wedding and seeing
35:23
and being invited in to help prepare for that.
35:26
And they were just so lovely and so caring. And
35:29
what's funny, you know, when you're there, I
35:32
just felt so much gratitude. You just kind of
35:34
hands in the middle of your heart space and gently
35:37
kind of bow to everybody as you meet them or
35:39
as you go by. And I picked that up. And so I
35:43
find it really funny even now being back in the
35:45
States when someone has an exchange with me like
35:48
that, I find myself still bowing in that way
35:50
and feeling like that actually, even though it's
35:53
not part of my culture, it was introduced in
35:55
such a loving way, it feels like something that
35:57
is really beautiful to bring into life. So yeah,
36:01
I do think travel changes you because how can
36:04
it not, if you're open. I do know some people
36:07
travel and it makes them want to stay more concrete
36:11
in who they are. if you know what I mean by that,
36:14
that there's a certain archetype. But I find
36:16
that if you go in with an open heart and mind,
36:19
you might just have the very best experience
36:23
spiritually of your entire life, being around
36:26
other people who are living their life in a way
36:27
that feels expressed to them. I also find that
36:32
when things go wrong... Which they do all the
36:35
time. All the time, all the time. It's not only
36:38
an opportunity for you to learn from that and
36:41
to test your resilience, but also, again, I'm
36:46
going to keep going back to this concept of symbol
36:48
library. It's a new experience for you to experience,
36:51
and it's something you wouldn't necessarily experience
36:54
in your own home country, in your own hometown.
36:58
And those emotions, those activities, those things
37:02
that happen to us when we're away. they allow
37:06
us to understand more information that comes
37:09
through. That's how I feel mediumship works,
37:12
is that they use our friendly presence, they
37:14
use our experiences to try and indicate how they
37:17
want to be represented. And the more experiences
37:21
we have, the better job we can do of that. You
37:24
said it so beautifully. I wholeheartedly agree
37:27
with that. I think it's actually... now believe
37:30
for my journey, it's my duty to the work I do
37:33
and the people I serve to expand that as much
37:36
as possible through learning different languages,
37:39
different styles, food, all of it, customs, beliefs.
37:42
I do think that helps us serve the spirit world
37:45
in a way that's more expansive. And I actually,
37:48
if you're open to it, want to spend just a minute
37:51
sharing about when things go wrong. Please do.
37:54
Yeah, are you okay? Yeah, because things really
37:57
go wrong. I think it's actually one of the most
38:00
important parts of travel and the way we navigate
38:02
it, because a lot of times you hear people's
38:06
highlight reel and it's just not realistic. It's
38:08
like how you navigate the absolute shit that
38:11
hits the fan, as we say. I'm going to give a
38:16
few examples. So for instance, we've had issues
38:19
with baggage, with our car. We had like a whole,
38:23
whole crazy situation with nonstop car things
38:26
and trying to sell it back. We had in Bali, I
38:29
ended up in the hospital and I was there alone.
38:32
And you can look at those things and go, that's
38:36
horrible. Or you can look at that and go, I'm
38:40
learning resiliency and in the resiliency of
38:42
this moment. how I show up, how I treat the moment,
38:46
how my energy is, how my mindset is, and spiritually
38:49
how I'm open to guidance about learning can actually
38:53
help me be a better human, a better frame of
38:57
reference, if you let it. And I also think it
39:00
teaches us where our areas for growth are. if
39:05
I notice like right if it's a stress inducing
39:07
situation or you're reactive or maybe it's triggering
39:10
some shadowy parts or some little inner child
39:13
of like needing safety and protection that got
39:15
triggered a lot for us when we were traveling
39:17
because I feel like I always say to my husband
39:19
I feel like our seven -year -olds came out all
39:20
the time and we're very busy because we wanted
39:24
safety and security and we had pretty much zero
39:26
of that and And so I find the dynamics of that
39:30
can be really telling and really helpful in expanding,
39:34
but I'm curious how that is for you too, because
39:36
stuff just, it never goes as planned. My best
39:39
set of expectations, it's pretty much the deviation
39:42
of the farthest further away point of that. Would
39:46
you share an experience that you have had that
39:50
has made you more resilient, and how has that
39:54
translated into your spirituality? There's a
39:58
few coming through. The first one that came through
40:01
isn't the one I would choose normally, but I
40:04
feel like it came through so I'm going to share
40:06
it. Okay. Yeah, it's just the one that feels
40:09
the most strange and interesting. It's not very
40:13
deep or dark, but it's just this one that's standing
40:16
right in my consciousness. We purchased a car
40:18
in the UK thinking we would stay indefinitely
40:22
or for years. So we had purchased this car and
40:25
then six months later we had to figure out how
40:28
we got the car. But I want to take you back to
40:31
how this all unfolded, because I find it really,
40:34
really important to share the intuition. We had
40:38
found a car online that was a great fit for us.
40:41
And so we flew my husband from the Highlands
40:43
down to London, and he took the train to go look
40:46
at the car. And as he was there about to start
40:49
negotiating, not negotiating, but talking about
40:51
the purchase process, I intuitively heard, don't
40:55
do it. This isn't the car for you." So I text
40:58
him and I said, you have to walk away from the
41:00
car. And he texted me back a few minutes later,
41:03
I know, look what I found, that they didn't disclose.
41:06
And so we had spent a lot, you know, money, time,
41:08
resources flying him down there. So he got back
41:10
on the train, headed, had a great day, solo day
41:14
in London, eating his way through the city. Came
41:17
back up on the overnight sleeper and... Said
41:21
I'm gonna just wait till I hear that's the one
41:23
so I'm online looking I'm online looking and
41:25
I hear that's the one so we buy it Someone delivers
41:28
it to our house through one of those online sites
41:30
never done that before and I thought it's so
41:33
interesting so fast forward six months and we're
41:36
like going to try to sell the car and the odometer
41:40
from what they had recorded for people maybe
41:43
who don't know about the Mott process. They had
41:45
recorded it in kilometers instead of miles and
41:49
made it ineligible for us to sell. And so what
41:52
ended up happening is the company just took the
41:55
car back and we got our money back. So we had
41:57
this beautiful car for six months. We just paid
41:59
for the mileage we owned. They took it back and
42:01
realized they had to fix that mistake and we
42:04
couldn't fix it. And we didn't have to go through
42:07
trying to sell a vehicle and moving. And Had
42:11
we gone with the first car, had I not listened,
42:13
that was such a strange and random experience.
42:16
We had to be very resilient, and it was stressful
42:19
and chaotic, but we had to go, okay, there's
42:22
a reason this is happening. There's a reason
42:24
we have this specific car, and there's a reason
42:26
that the odometer is wrong, and there's a reason
42:28
that, oh, they're just going to take it back.
42:31
How did that impact my spirituality? Intuitively,
42:35
I had to really trust. It's one thing to say
42:38
it out loud. It's one thing to get on the internet
42:42
or be in practice and say, I follow my intuition.
42:45
But to live it requires a certain type of audacity
42:48
and self -trust. And that experience taught me
42:52
that, oh yeah, I am meant to listen. And this
42:55
is exactly why this unfolded the way it did.
42:58
So it's just very strange. What did your husband
43:01
find? What put him off the first cut? So in the...
43:07
Car itself. They said it had not been in an accident
43:10
But there were signs that it may have been an
43:11
accident and then on the top the entire Like
43:15
paint job was had this strange Cover over it
43:19
like it had this strange modeling happening with
43:22
the paint bubbling up and we're we are very conscious
43:24
of mold and those type of things. And then they
43:28
did disclose when he asked about it that it had
43:29
been sitting out in an area that had been close
43:32
to I believe some sort of like factory or something
43:35
and maybe had some leaks as well. Best leave
43:39
that one back on the forecourt. And it looked
43:43
beautiful online and perfect and wonderful. It
43:47
wasn't super easily to the eye, like you just
43:49
really had to look to find it. But I was like
43:52
so grateful in that moment that we just both
43:55
knew, right? And that's not an experience you
43:57
would necessarily have had if she just stayed
43:59
at home or at least the stresses that go with
44:02
that of... having to negotiate a car purchase
44:06
in a different country, different tax system,
44:09
different MOT system, different insurance system,
44:12
difference of the road. The difference of the
44:14
road, all of it, and the insurance, right? There's
44:17
not very many people who will insure what they
44:21
call it XPAT, but immigrant insurance if you
44:24
don't have a driving record. in the UK. So just
44:28
trying to even navigate that and drive around.
44:32
I remember we couldn't drive the car. We didn't
44:33
have a car and we weren't near public transportation.
44:36
So I had walked into town. It was a mile into
44:38
town to do some things. And then I had decided
44:43
I'm tired of walking this back road. So I got
44:46
on Facebook Marketplace and I looked for bicycles
44:49
and I found this purple butterfly bicycle and
44:53
I messaged them and they said, oh, my dad's available.
44:55
You can come walk to our house now and pay us,
44:58
do a bank transfer and pick it up. And so I remember
45:00
pulling up to our little area and my husband's
45:04
like, you left on foot and you arrived back on
45:06
a purple butterfly bicycle. Because we couldn't
45:11
drive the car yet. I laugh at all of that, like
45:14
those are not things you do at home. I just don't
45:17
think. And I remember sitting in the living room
45:19
with this amazing, this beautiful Scottish family
45:22
and they were just joking with each other and
45:25
then joking with me and everyone was having a
45:27
laugh. And he's like, they're like, my dad's
45:29
back out in the shed and he's tuning up the bike
45:31
for me and all these things. It was just the
45:33
most delightful experience to have. It was so
45:38
random. Something that would never have happened
45:39
again opens up your frame of reference. to something
45:43
which you would never would have experienced
45:45
otherwise. Yeah. Amazing. I'm wondering, I mean,
45:51
you sound, I mean, I said to you, as we open
45:53
this conversation, you are the most calming influence
45:56
on me, at least because I was very stressed before
46:00
this, but you are very calming yourself. I wonder,
46:03
when it comes to your grounding practices or
46:06
any sort of spiritual routines, How did they
46:08
change on your travels? And I suppose also beforehand,
46:13
were they even important to you beforehand? Yeah,
46:17
so they were important beforehand, but I do think
46:21
there's this thing that happens. Well, it's happened
46:23
in my journey. I've heard it talked about in
46:25
other people's journeys as well, where we get
46:28
caught in this spiritual perfectionism, where
46:31
I have to do it this way or this routine or I
46:33
have to wear... For me, it was like this whole
46:35
phase of wearing white linen more than I needed
46:38
to. Or like, I have to pull a card today. The
46:42
have to's, right? But when you're traveling,
46:45
there's no spaciousness. For have to's, it's
46:46
only what you can do. What feels good? What can
46:49
I bring into the moment? And so my spiritual
46:52
practices went from needing to be like hit the
46:54
yoga mat and do all these things to like, what
46:56
can I do in a single breath? What can I do in
46:58
a single moment? Can I light a candle? Can I
47:02
sing a song? Can I dance with my child in the
47:03
living room? Can I do a five -minute walk in
47:07
the wind before bed and sit with my hands on
47:09
my heart and just breathe? And they became attuned
47:13
to the moment instead of a ritual and routine
47:16
that had to be followed. So they changed completely.
47:20
I love that. I love the way that you bring up
47:24
the expectation. Not the expectation. I think
47:28
that's more my word. you have this routine going
47:30
on and then you're traveling and you're in this
47:32
different moment and you've just got to switch.
47:34
You've got to switch things up and you've got
47:36
to maybe even not do things. I remember when
47:39
I went to Thailand last year, I thought, oh,
47:42
it's going to be amazing. Thailand and Cambodia,
47:45
temples everywhere, Buddhist monks are going
47:47
to be so zen, it's going to be amazing. And it
47:50
was, but I didn't have two seconds to have to
47:54
myself because it's so chaotic and so frenetic
47:57
everywhere. And you've got to going to yourself
48:00
and you've got to ground yourself in a different
48:02
way. And I found the way that I grounded myself
48:04
was visiting temples, but not having a moment
48:08
of quiet, but just observing everyone else there
48:12
and everyone is there for the same reason and
48:15
realizing that actually everyone here is connected.
48:18
We're all connected. You don't necessarily get
48:21
that. I don't get that here. I just found that
48:24
really interesting. I love it. But yeah, the
48:26
rituals and the grounding processes can be very
48:29
different, can't they? Yeah, they really can.
48:32
And mine evolved from sitting in stillness to
48:35
movement. Like dancing and moving, like just
48:39
swaying in the wind or chasing after a laughing
48:42
child and just taking in the laughter. That felt...
48:47
more like the being in the moment and feeling
48:49
grounding was actually something I probably have
48:51
been searching for my whole life, if I'm being
48:54
honest. I love that. And have you taken that
48:57
back home with you? I have. And I'm grateful
49:00
to have the awareness to be able to do that.
49:03
It started in Scotland, but something shifted
49:05
in Croatia. We didn't have a car, so we were
49:08
on foot everywhere, backpacks to get groceries.
49:11
And it was like a 20, 30 minute walk to the restaurants
49:14
in the old town. And just walking as a family,
49:19
hand in hand, knowing that it's going to take
49:21
three hours to accomplish dinner out and being
49:25
so present because you have no other option.
49:28
It's you and the sea and the walk and the people
49:31
around you and the lights in the distance knowing
49:34
you're eventually going to arrive there and doing
49:36
that all with a very tired and sometimes often
49:39
cranky five -year -old. It changes you and I'm
49:44
grateful to bring that back to the States because
49:47
I feel a little resilient and bubbled up from
49:49
the chaos that surrounds me. I don't feel like
49:52
I have to be part of it anymore. Oh, I like that.
49:54
I like that. Do you feel like you can disconnect
49:57
because there's another reality out there? Yeah,
50:01
it is a bit of disconnect and it also feels like
50:03
we create our reality bubble in our home and
50:07
so you can go out into that and... be under fluorescent
50:10
lights in a shopping center, and then you can
50:13
come home and know that the reality you've created
50:15
in your own space, it will always exist as you
50:18
nurture it. And when you step back into it, it's
50:21
like being transported back to another time and
50:23
place. Yeah, absolutely. You've answered all
50:27
my questions. I love it. Thank you so much for
50:32
coming on, Kelsey. Is there anything you want
50:35
to share with the dear listeners? about your
50:38
thoughts of whether that be travel or intuition.
50:43
The floor is yours. Is there anything you'd like
50:46
to say? And if you don't, that's fine. But if
50:47
you would, then it's yours. Oh, thank you. It's
50:51
been such a delight. Yeah, I felt very calm in
50:54
this conversation. And I always love how the
50:57
themes and energy of a conversation emerge between
51:00
two people. It's actually one of... my greatest
51:02
joys in life is to have these conversations and
51:05
meet someone halfway across the world just to
51:07
explore and dive into whatever comes up. But
51:11
I do feel the bubblings up of a message, so I'm
51:14
going to just do what we do in mediumship and
51:17
start talking before I know what I'm actually
51:18
going to say. So we'll see what comes out. Go
51:21
for it. Go for it. Around travel, I would just
51:25
feel the necessary... words to say or what's
51:30
really coming through is that make it your own.
51:33
Sometimes we're taught what a holiday looks like.
51:36
We're taught what a trip is supposed to look
51:38
like. And if it looks like one night in a tent
51:41
in a field overlooking a castle and you're half
51:44
miserable and half happy, maybe that's what the
51:47
delight of travel looks like for you. Maybe it's
51:49
stepping out into the sunshine or doing something
51:51
a little different in your day to day because
51:54
It doesn't have to be this big grand thing and
51:57
it can be, but it can also be something so accessible
52:00
and so small because that one thing can just
52:03
completely change everything you've known about
52:05
your life or that moment and follow your intuition
52:09
when you're in the travel. Like if you're in
52:12
it and you've had this master plan in your mind,
52:14
but in the moment you think I want to go sit
52:16
in that place or I want to stop at this bench,
52:19
oftentimes it's because you're about to witness
52:21
something. that you would have missed otherwise
52:24
or be part of something beautiful or watch that
52:27
bird that will emerge over the river. And we,
52:32
when we trust that, we actually get to experience
52:34
a different aspect of ourselves and our reality.
52:37
So just really reminding you that you are co
52:40
-creating that experience and it doesn't matter
52:42
what anyone else says around that. And when it
52:44
comes to day -to -day life, I always like to
52:46
leave it with this just vast expansiveness of
52:48
love. And the reminder that at any moment, even
52:52
if you feel disconnected, even if you feel like
52:54
it's an absolute day that's just going, you know,
52:57
not your way, there is always a way to come back
53:01
to the joy of life to your center, even if it's
53:04
especially if it's not perfect. Place your hand
53:07
on a tree, walk out and let the rain hit your
53:09
face and dance a little bit, whatever it takes
53:13
to remind yourself that you're Human, you are
53:16
alive and you have the distinct and beautiful
53:18
pleasure of being alive in any given moment.
53:21
It can shift you from where you were to maybe
53:24
a place that feels more loving and you are always,
53:28
always loved. Your spirit team, your guides,
53:31
your loved ones in spirit, they have your back.
53:32
And when we move through life that way, we often
53:36
realize that there is a vast endless well of
53:40
love, magic and experience waiting for us at
53:43
every turn. Absolutely beautiful. Well done.
53:46
Thank you so much. Where can the listeners find
53:50
you? Yeah, they can find me on podcasts, SoulThreads,
53:55
on Kelsey Anderson Intuitive, that's all my handles
53:58
and my website, and also now on YouTube. And
54:02
I just so love connecting, so really anybody
54:05
who feels called to connect or listen or learn
54:08
or just tune in for a moment, I feel like it's
54:11
such a joy. I will put all of that on in the
54:14
show notes if anybody wants to reach out to you
54:17
then they know where to. Are you doing readings
54:20
at the moment? Are your books open? Yeah they
54:22
are. I open them about 30 days in advance so
54:25
there are sessions every week that I open up
54:28
and you can just keep an eye out for those coming
54:31
in and I love that. Where are you off to next?
54:35
That's a great question. Well, I've been toying
54:37
around with coming back to the UK here pretty
54:39
soon for maybe another residential week with
54:42
some great teachers there, but potentially Bali
54:45
again this year. And in Montana, we have so much
54:50
nature here and lakes and mountains, I think,
54:53
for us. the everyday of getting out into the
54:56
woods with the mountain lions and the bears and
54:59
all of the other creatures. Take your bear spray
55:01
with you. Take our bear spray. We're not in Scotland
55:05
anymore. We don't have to worry about that. The
55:08
squirrels bite where you are. They do. They do
55:12
bite where we are. A little feistier. But I can
55:16
feel myself being called back over that way and
55:20
different places, but the same place is all the
55:24
same. Wonderful. Thank you so much, Kelsey. I
55:28
wish you all the luck and love in your travels.
55:32
Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Thank
55:34
you. You as well. The wonderful, the incredible
55:41
Kelsey Anderson everyone, how did you find that?
55:45
I so admire Kelsey's pure conviction in just
55:48
trusting her intuition and following her guiding
55:52
star. We've done it a couple of times and it's
55:55
just amazing to see where life takes you just
55:58
to have that trust in wherever you're going to
56:01
go is going to be okay. Okay, during the break,
56:06
I said I've got a couple of things to say. Just
56:09
future Matt talking here. So in the interview,
56:11
you'll have heard Kelsey talk about her podcast,
56:14
SoulThreads. Kelsey has actually changed the
56:16
name of her podcast from SoulThreads to Reclamation.
56:20
All the show notes are correct. So if you're
56:22
not sure where to look or how to find it, just
56:24
look in the show notes, you will find all the
56:27
details for Kelsey's amazing podcast. I even
56:30
appear in one of the episodes, and I have to
56:33
say, this episode that I appear in on her podcast,
56:37
Reclamation, I'm so happy with it. I'm so proud
56:40
of it. I love the conversation that me and Kelsey
56:42
have. If you want to hear more from Kelsey, then
56:46
me and Kelsey... Or is it Kelsey and I? I'm not
56:49
sure. Either way, Kelsey and I are going to be
56:51
doing a TikTok live together. This is going to
56:55
be on Thursday the 28th of May, so a week after
56:58
this episode officially releases. If you're in
57:01
America, there's quarter past 11 in the morning
57:04
PST, quarter past midday Mountain Standard Time.
57:08
Quarter past two Eastern Standard Time, or if
57:10
you're in the UK, that is quarter past seven
57:13
in the evening. So if you have any questions
57:16
that you want to put to Kelsey, make sure you
57:18
get on your TikTok at quarter past whatever one
57:21
of those hours are for you. And get online and
57:25
ask your question. The other thing I wanted to
57:28
say was that you may have seen on my Instagram
57:30
or my TikTok, I am holding a Sunday afternoon
57:33
practice. If you are in development at the moment,
57:36
and I want to stress that if you're in development,
57:38
this is not a teaching space that I'm offering.
57:41
But if you're in development and you want to
57:43
practice your mediumship skills, your tarot reading
57:46
skills, your oracle card, your psychic abilities,
57:49
whatever it might be, if you want to practice
57:51
it, I'm hosting a free one hour 15 minutes base
57:55
online where you can come and you can practice
57:58
one on one with other people. I've been running
58:01
it for a few weeks now and it's a lovely space.
58:04
The people that come, they're really welcoming,
58:06
they're really gentle. It's a really lovely environment.
58:09
So if you want to practice the modality that
58:11
shines with you, then you are more than welcome.
58:13
That is going to be going on at quarter past
58:16
seven UK time. You can work that one out wherever
58:20
you are in the world, whatever that means to
58:22
you. UK time, quarter past seven PM to about
58:26
half past eight. So about an hour and 15 minutes.
58:29
If you want something a bit longer, on Wednesday
58:33
evenings I will also be holding a very similar
58:35
event. This one will be for two hours though.
58:38
So come along. Quarter past seven to quarter
58:41
past nine p .m. UK time on Wednesday evenings.
58:45
Not only will that be focusing on one -on -one
58:47
readings, but it will also be focusing a bit
58:49
more on platform as well. There's no pressure
58:51
for anyone to do it if they don't want to, but
58:53
it is a space for you to come and practice and
58:55
I would love to see you there. Details can be
58:58
found below in the show notes. It's a Zoom room,
59:01
so all the access and login details can be found
59:04
for whatever podcast platform you're listening
59:05
to this on. Have a look below and you'll see
59:08
it there. Also, if you follow me on Instagram
59:10
or on TikTok, it's always going to be on my stories
59:13
the day before. So follow me for information
59:16
on the Wednesday and the Sunday Explorers. The
59:19
next guest I've got on is the wonderful Anthony
59:22
Light. If you don't know about Anthony, go and
59:24
search him out. He is on for the very exciting
59:27
Pride episode and he talks a lot about his upbringing,
59:31
his childhood and the impact that religion and
59:34
his sexuality had on his spirituality. So it's
59:37
a really in -depth and lovely conversation. Have
59:40
a wonderful rest of your day, you wonderful explorer,
59:43
and I will see you soon. Take care, guys. Bye.
