Good, how are you?

I'm very good. Um, now Chris, I have to start by asking you, how's your pussy? Because your cat's not been well lately, has he?

You have to put it like that. Yeah, I had to. It's all right. Yeah, good, good.

You've got lots of animals as well in your house, haven't you? Was it like 5 cats, 2 dogs?

5 cats, 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, and a bird.

I think you could open up a zoo, couldn't you? So Chris, do you wanna take me right back to the very start of your spiritual journey? Because I was watching you on TikTok Live just last night, and I know it's not been easy for you growing up with this gift, has it? So what was your first experience with the spirit world?

I must have been about 8. Like, I had a very traumatic childhood, but I think my first memory, I was about 8. My mum was heavily pregnant at the time, um, with my youngest brother. And, um, I just had this feeling we were going to get broken into. And we always— like, everything that I said, everyone used to say, what you want about now? You know, it was a little bit like, oh, here he goes again, you know. And I think really between the ages of probably like, I don't know, 7 and 10, 7 and 11, it was like the age where I used to kind of come out with things and everyone would be like, oh, wow, here he goes. So after a while, I used to think, "I'm just not gonna say anything now," 'cause, you know, and it could be little things such as, "Oh, the teacher's gonna have a baby," and the next week she'd be in the class and it'd be, "She's pregnant," or— and so I used to just kind of, I think I just shut it down. Obviously, I was so, so young, but I think I just kind of shut it out for me. But the first experience I remember was probably about 8. I knew it was gonna get broken into. My mum was pregnant. She said to me, "What you talking about? Don't be stupid. Go to bed." There was a lot of terrorism on the news at the time, and My mum's partner at the time used to wind me up about it. He was, it's horrible and vile to me, but he used to wind me up about that and I didn't like it. And so yeah, so I had this feeling someone's gonna break in and it happened and the front door was being kicked in 2 o'clock in the morning. Jeez. And like, they didn't really acknowledge me. Like, family didn't really say, oh my God, like, you know, you knew that was gonna happen, or it was just sort of like dismissed and the police came and they took their fingerprints and blah, blah, blah. And, The— we had a slide across latch on the door and a bolt at the top and bottom. It was like, it was council house and it was before like PVC doors. It was like a wooden door and, you know, you could, you could boot it in and it would, it would, you know, the locks would break quite easily, I suppose. And, um, the bolts at the top and bottom came off and because I always used to put the latch on and my mum said that, you know, go to bed, don't be so stupid, and I crept down and put the latch on the door, and the bolts came off, but the latch stayed on. They couldn't get in. It was, it was really strange. So, yeah, and there was a big boot hole through the door, and, you know, so they didn't get in, and the latch basically stopped them. So that was the first thing that happened. And then over, like, years following that, um, we had a dog that I knew wasn't very well, and again, the family didn't really listen, and they thought it was epileptic, and I kept saying there's something wrong with his tummy, and I hadn't spoke about it for like months and months because again it was like, what you talking about? And one day I said, oh, you know, Casper the dog was called. I said, oh, do you think Casper's all right? What you on about? And I said, oh, I think there's something wrong with something. Oh, don't start this again. That afternoon the dog, the dog died. I mean, he just— yeah, just started going all floppy and I was always having a fit, getting, you know, giving me stuff, blah blah blah. And within about 5 minutes his mouth was going all blue and that. And he died. And when they took him to the vets, the vets was like, he's got a stomach tumour. They did the test, they did the, you know, whatever they needed to do, and there we go, he's got a stomach tumour. And again, still, I wasn't really listening to it, was a little bit like, you know, here we go. So that was, that was where it started. And I think really, I mean, I remember I must have been about 14, 13, I think, when I kind of became like aware of tarot cards and at the time it was a little bit like, what are you doing that for?

Yeah.

And I, you know, and I didn't really know what I was doing, but I was just interested in it, I suppose. But there was a part of me that didn't really believe in it. Yeah.

Right. I totally get that. Like, I think I started with tarot cards around about 13, 14 as well. And I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I just, I was, I was just doing it because I wanted to believe in like a higher power.

Yeah.

I wanted to believe that there was something else out there that could guide me. And that was kind of one divination tool that was so easy and accessible.

Mm-hmm.

Do you know what I mean?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I used to just sort of use the cards and, and then that sort of became, I think I must have been 16, I suppose, when it sort of like, maybe my ages are a little bit off, but, um, when it sort of, I was on eBay and, you know, people were sort of like buying readings. I mean, I didn't really know what I was doing, but I just knew it was helping people. And I think that's still what I know now, you know, half of the time I don't know what I'm doing, what I'm saying. I know that it's helping someone. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So yeah, I think that's really, yeah, I mean, it's been a long time now since then, but that's where it started.

So how do you differentiate between your own thoughts and messages from spirit? Do you have to kind of like switch something on when you're ready to work, or are those messages like always there bombarding you? Because that must be quite overwhelming.

Yeah, it's not always there. I feel like it's kind of on and off, but I don't turn it on and off. And I kind of feel like I don't know how to explain it. It's kind of like a different part of my brain.

Okay.

I kind of know that if you said to me now, oh, you know, what have you got for me? And you're like, maybe give me 30 seconds and something will drop in, whether that's like, it could, I could be anything.

Yeah.

Could be a feeling of somebody who's passed away. It could be a name. It could be a sense of something or anything. You know, sometimes it's more, sometimes with some people it's more like about the past, past loved ones, sometimes it's more about their life, but generally something normally drops in. Yeah. You know, it is a little bit like, I suppose, like a dial that sort of just goes quiet. It's like a radio that's down. And then if I think in my head, oh, is there anything there for— it just turns on.

Yeah.

Yeah. Right.

So I've spoken here before about different clairs, you know, like clairvoyance, clairaudience. Myself, I'm clairsentient. Like, I always thought I was an empath for years, but the more research I've done on it in like the last couple of years, for example, I think it's more clairsentience than anything else, where I just have a sense of knowing something. So are you clairaudient? Do you hear the messages rather than seeing them?

All of it, really.

All of it. Okay. So you actually see things as well?

I used to, yeah, but I used to be, I was very clairsentient. So if I, you'd hit, like in readings, I'd say, well, I feel this, I feel this, I feel like he's making me feel, she's making me feel. But now I'll say, oh, and I always knew. As I got older, I always said, as I get older, I will hear more and more.

Yeah.

But it freaks me out a little bit. You know, like my partner was on the phone the other week to a friend. I don't know this friend. I've never spoke to her before. And he said to me, oh, she's, um, well, she said like, he was in the kitchen. He said, oh, she's, um, thinks that someone's at the top of her stairs. I said, oh, what? And I sort of like, then I was listening. She's going, yeah, like a mirror fell off the wall and weird things have been happening. And I said, oh, I said, do you know somebody called like, Elma or, or like name like that. She went, well, my grandma's Uma.

No way.

Not like E-L-M-A, but U-L-M-A. I was like, all right. And I'd literally just not long woken up. Like, we was emptying the dishwasher and I was half asleep. Do you know what I mean? But it's, it's still, it's still there even though then.

Yeah.

My partner makes me so mad. Like, you, like, you're half asleep and it's, it's just there like that, you know?

Yeah.

But for me with hearing, it's like, You know, Alma, Elma, or that's, I mean, it's a very weird name, different name, but you kind of like, I think one time I said the other week, I said to somebody, oh, there's a, there's a, there's a Tom in Sweden. I was named Dom. Ah, so sometimes with nuns it's like, do you know what I mean? Yeah. Hearing and it's very quick. Yeah. Like sometimes I do hear a voice, sometimes I don't. Sometimes it's like, it's like someone's talking to me, but I can't hear the voice, if that makes sense.

Yeah.

Sometimes I do hear a voice, but I think the voice side of it is the weird, is the freaky bit, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, of course.

And that's why I'm kind of like, you know?

Yeah. So what do you do to prepare for a session then? Because I guess it must be really hard to almost protect your energy as well. And obviously I can see some crystals behind you. So do you use crystals to ground and protect yourself? Or why you've got loads? Is there any little rituals that you do before a session?

No, nothing.

Nothing.

No. Unless I feel like, unless I've seen a little bit. A couple months ago, I think I booked out like, um, because private readings I do like as and kind of as and when I like, because I have to kind of watch how many, how much I do, like I'll overdo it.

Yeah, of course.

So a couple months ago I put out, um, a number of appointments. I had something like, I don't know how many it was booked in, booked in a week, but I think I did like 50 in a month or something.

Wow.

And they're like, you know, 40-minute phone readings and all like this on the, on the call. And you kind of like, it is hard. Like I sort of got to like, I think week 4 or 5 and thought, I don't know if I can do the rest that I've got.

Yeah.

And I'm very like, I'm not gonna do it if, if it isn't, if it isn't up to my normal scratch, do you know what I mean? So I ended up refunding like, I think 3 weeks worth or something and just saying, do you know what, like, I've, you know, I've overdone it the last few months. And then, um, yeah, I do have it all on a waiting list basis. Um, but I don't do anything, you know. I mean, I've had clients before that, you know, from overseas that have booked me for like 8 o'clock in the morning, and I've, you know, I might have been on a live till 1 o'clock in the morning, and I've been so knackered that I've only been awake 20 minutes.

Yeah.

You know, and I've had it where I've sat in bed before and I've got like a cup of tea and I'm like this. I'm half asleep, I'm doing this reading, but it's still always like, oh my God, like, you know, spot on. Yeah. Um, but I just have to manage my energy better sometimes.

Yeah.

It's my, that's my thing. Do you know what I mean?

What is it like to connect with someone's loved ones on the other side? Like, do you sometimes ever feel like a personal attachment to them or have you got yourself guarded?

No, I feel I don't know, I feel like I probably don't. I think the live streaming stuff's a little bit different. I think when you're talking to somebody very privately and it's very personal, the live kind of side of it is very sort of like, I sometimes feel like I don't let their loved one as close to me as I could.

Okay.

Like, I don't really, and I've noticed this recently, I don't describe people very much what they look like. So I might say, oh, this lady's got really short hair and blue eyes. Like, I'm not, my thing is I'm not so descriptive with how somebody looks. Mine is more about like, I suppose like the factual evidence and all of that. I feel like if I let them really close to me, like almost like, yeah, because they're not my loved one and they're not, I think sometimes it is really, it can be really touching and it can be like, oh my God, you know, or, or You know, I don't know. I think the things that sometimes touch me is if someone's gone through what I have. Yeah. Somebody's got like a tiny bit of tingling on my head, but if they've got this, like if I've just lost somebody and then I talk to somebody with the same past condition, the same sort of names or things they liked, or kind of like it brings things back sometimes. But yeah, other than that, it's kind of like quite a divide, I suppose, like between me and that. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. So you mentioned there about your lives and things like that. So can we talk about your social media following? Because I have watched your lives now probably for the best part of a year when I came across you and your work, and you've got something absolutely wild, like 2 million followers, I think it is, across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. I mean, what an achievement for you. But what I want to know is how you handle the skeptics, because even last night when I was on your live, there were still people like commenting, saying bullshit and things like that. Like people who just aren't open to psychic work? Because being in the spotlight like that, it must like attract some crazy people, right?

Yeah. I just don't, I just feel like I just don't absorb it. I just, I just do what I do and whatever. Do you know what I mean? I kind of, yeah, like, you know, years ago, I think when I was a lot younger, you know, I used to, because obviously I started this very young, I used to deal with a lot of, oh, you are young, you know, and what are you gonna tell me? And. You know, especially reading like for people in pubs and stuff like that and doing interviews and, you know, and I think over the years I've more found that the private readings, the more that I've sort of charged, the more respect I get.

Yeah.

I don't get people piss me about, you know, like people that book the private readings. I'm not cheap and they don't mess me about, you know, and the live side of it, yeah, like I think, oh, whatever, I just let it go over my head. I just don't even absorb it.

I just think, yeah, okay.

Yeah. You don't believe, you don't believe this, whatever. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. Is there a limit to what a spirit can share with you as well? Because I know you've mentioned on your lives before that you don't talk about health issues and things like that. Like, how do you respect those boundaries?

I just think anything that's gonna concern or worry someone or unsettle somebody, or then I don't, I don't really go there. And you have to be, you have to be, I think, There's one thing is getting information and being accurate, but the second thing is, it's another thing of how do you, how do you word that? How do you deliver that? And how you make somebody feel. Like, you know, I've got psychics that work for me as well, and I listen to, I listen, I have a lot of, I have a lot of readers read for me, yeah? They read for me last before I say yes or no to them. They go through a test process and then they talk to me. And I'm like an open book, I'm so easy to read, like, Yeah, I think it's, I think one thing is about how they make you feel. I mean, health, for example, like I will, I will, I don't know, if I'm reading with somebody, I think, oh, you've got low blood pressure, or I picked somebody out the other night and I said, I've got to talk about your father's side of the family and I'm aware of diabetes and I see diab— I said, I don't want to tell you've got diabetes. He went, I have got diabetes, I'm diabetic. And I said, all right, you know, and then I said about that and I said, I think it's a lot worse than it is. And he said, yeah, I agree with that. And I didn't want to worry him, but he said, yeah, I've had funny symptoms and blah, blah, blah. But I won't predict. If he went to me, oh no, I don't know what you're talking about, I'd be like, okay, you know, it's probably around you, move on. But, you know, you don't want to unsettle or worry anyone or make someone think they've got a health condition or, do you know what I mean? And so health is one thing. Pregnancy also, like privately, I'll tell you, like if I think, oh, there's a baby here, da da da. But if someone's coming to me to say, oh, am I gonna have a baby? Like, I'm not really the reader for you. Like, I just don't, I might read for you and say, oh yeah, you know, I do see it in mid next year, but I'm not a fortune teller. Yeah.

Yeah.

I like that. And anybody can just go, yeah, you know, next year in May and just charge you for that. So I'd kind of believe that in a reading you should be given enough information and evidence based on your past and what you can validate, you know, oh yeah, my daddy's John, you know, my daddy's diabetic. My mum, this, my, you know, I have got two dogs, or, you know, my house does look like that, or, do you know, do you know what I mean?

Yeah. So what role does intuition kind of play in your everyday life, like outside of your work as a psychic?

I tell you what, right? In the last couple days, I won't go into detail, but I spoke to somebody on TikTok.

Mm-hmm.

And I sometimes get a funny feeling about people. And I, for some reason, I thought, oh, I can't give you my personal number. I'll give you my work phone. I don't know why, I just had this, this funny feeling. And then, literally before coming on here now, I found out this woman has told somebody else what I'd said. I hadn't said anything bad, but she'd contacted me to ask me about someone on TikTok, sort of thing. And I said, oh yeah, you know, this happened, this happened, like nothing bad, but she's twisted it and then gone to somebody else to create drama.

Yeah.

But I thought, I can't trust you, I need to give you my work phone, you know?

Yeah.

I thought, why did I even bother? I should have just not bothered replying to her. The thing is, I'm a nice person, do you know what I mean? And I like to try and, you know, help people, but I just thought, oh yeah, you know, I'm probably being helpful here, but obviously not. You've just taken that to try and, you know, whatever. But that's a sheer example of intuition, like where I thought, oh, I don't know about you. Did I listen to it? Kind of. Now I think I should have just not bothered. Do you know what I mean? But at the end of the day, like, we are human and I think a lot of people do, they over kind of analyse their intuition and their gut feeling and And all it is, is mostly intuition being your gut feelings, like that as a prime example, or, oh, I need to phone that friend and the phone rings, or I'm driving to work and I need to go that way today, and then the other way there's a, you know, roadworks or holdups. That's our intuition, like in our day-to-day life. I think a lot of people are very kind of like, I went into London the other day and I sort of just walked through Liverpool Street and I thought everybody's like robots. I just sort of looked around, I was like, oh wow, I just sort of come off the chain. I just, for some reason, I just thought I just thought, I don't know, like everybody looks like robots, you know, like sort of get up, go to work, come home, get asleep, get up, go to work, you know. And like a lot of people probably haven't even like sat and done a meditation as well, or, or, you know. I said to my partner the other day, he was out, I was like, hug these trees. Like, don't be so stupid. I said, no, seriously, like put your hands on these trees. He's like, you're just weird. I said, no, I'm serious, like just try. And he's like, no, I can't feel nothing. I said, oh, then don't worry about it.

You know, but I don't know, like, so have you ever come across a spirit that's been quite hostile or anything like that? Are, or are they all kind of friendly if they choose to come through?

Never had that issue.

Never?

I think ever. I just feel like, I just feel like maybe they probably don't, I feel like, I feel like they probably don't come through. I think there's, 'cause I, I must have like someone controlling it all, you know, really that aware of, I mean, I know that I've got guides, Yeah. And I'm aware of two and I have been, I've been aware of one since I was probably, I mean, I was very, very young. Her name is Dorothy. And then I've been aware of another one about the last 5 years and his name is John. Right?

Right.

And, and they're there now as I talk, but I couldn't tell you I ever pick, I ever pick up on or feel them. But it has to be, I've probably got loads, do you know what I mean? Because obviously it's got to be some kind of like, especially when I get up in front of 100, 200 people and I do readings, it's like, there's got to be some kind of process that I'm not really seeing.

Yeah.

You know? And when you do, when you do get up in front of people on stage and now I feel I can stand and think, oh my God, is that 100 people? And I do, I think, oh bloody hell, it's like, it's like a queue, you know?

Yeah.

But I'm kind of just aware of like one person and then that one person says what they need to say. I'd say what I need to say. I move on and then it's just another person.

Mm.

You know, it's, it's like, but yeah, I think it just all happens and I'm just quite not aware of how.

Yeah. I think the reason that I was asking that question about like being aggressive or anything like that is that I've been to see a couple of psychics, I'd say in the past couple of years.

Really?

And they both told me the same name of this guy who was with me at all times.

Really?

And they said he was quite aggressive. And then when I went to me auntie on me dad's side of the family, she confirmed he was me great uncle. Really? I'd never actually met him. He died when I was like, I was a baby basically.

Right.

But he had severe learning difficulties. So I think that's where the psychic kind of presumed he was being aggressive because of his learning difficulties. 'Cause he was quite kind of like that with his disabilities.

Yeah. But it's probably also a bit of a misinterpretation, but that's how, that's how he's probably come across. Yeah. To you, do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So yeah, I think that with, with kind of like, I don't have that problem of like anything coming through that I think, oh, this isn't right. Mm-hmm. Sometimes I think, oh my God, how am I gonna word Am I gonna say that? You know, I called out somebody the other night on a live, and I thought, oh, I just saw the name and I thought, you've just been misnomered as Gay Chasé. And I thought, how can I, jeez, how can I even say this?

Yeah.

And I sort of, I'm denied for a minute. I made, I think, oh, can I? You know, I'm like, well, so I kind of put it in a roundabout way, and then I gave him a name as well, and he put, oh my God, in capitals. And to me, you know, You think, oh God, where's that coming from? You know, like, why that? Or sometimes I think, what? You know, it can be so random, but do you know what I mean? I said to somebody the other night, I said as well, I picked somebody out and I said, I don't know why when I've seen your name, I said, I feel like, and I'm going like this, I said, I feel like half of my face has gone. Like, I don't know if this is connected to your husband's side of the family and blah, blah, blah. And I gave her a name and that. And then she came back to me the next day and she went, yeah, my husband found out that His, his whoever, you know, was, was killed in the, I don't know if it was the military, blah, blah, blah. Like, he had his face like decapitated. Oh my God. You know? And that's the name, and I thought, why have I got to go like that? You know? Just be like an instant feeling or something, you know? But nothing ever comes through that makes me think, oh, I'm uncomfortable with that, or that don't feel right to me.

What's the most rewarding part of your work as well? Like, is there a particular moment that stands out for you?

I think it's just, I think it's just the closure that it gives people. I feel like, um, I think I probably tell you lots of examples, but I think it's the closure it gives people where, I mean, I've, you know, I've struggled with loss. I've lost a lot of relatives. And yeah, you know, my granddad passed away. I talk about him in my book when I was very, very young. And, um, you know, like, I wasn't in a good place then, you know. I didn't really— and I even now, I sort of drive by and I think, oh, you know, I wish he was here to just Pop in, pop in for a cup of tea, or do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

And you, you, I mean, he's been gone 10, 11 years and you do sometimes think, and me as a medium, I think, oh, do you know what? I wonder if he knows this, knows that, or sees this, sees that. And I know they do, you know.

What do you think's the most important thing that the spirit world has taught you about life on this side?

Oh, it's an interesting question. I'm gonna give you an answer in a minute.

If you could tell people one thing about life after death, what would that be?

I'd like to say that your loved ones don't carry on their pain. You know, all of their pain and their illness and their— is to me left, you know, that's their physical body. I, you know, I don't know if I believe in like a heaven or if there's a spirit world.

Yeah.

Or if there's a, do you know, like it's quite hard to kind of say there's this or there's that. But I really feel like our loved ones are here with us. Like, I feel them, you know, they're here with us. I don't see them separate to us. So one of the things people often say is, is, oh, I haven't heard from my dad ever, or I lost my mum and she's never been through, or I lost my best friend and I've never heard from them, or, you know, and there's no, there's no sort of like waiting period, or sometimes people think, oh, I can't go to a medium for 6 months, you know, or that, that's Absolutely not true. I've had people come through that have passed last week. You know, I've had, I've had loved ones connect that have passed a couple days ago, and that's one of the things that, yeah, comes up for me with that. But, yeah, what do I wanna tell, what do I wanna tell people about spirit? Well, you know, I think our loved ones always with us, but also they want us to kind of like live our lives as well. You know, a lot of the time they come through and they'll talk about things like, you know, I don't know, when I was passing away, we was meant to go on holiday. You should still go, or they want us to enjoy our lives as well. Do you know what I mean? I'd like to think I have, I have a very kind of normal life. Do you know what, do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Besides of my, my work, which is a business really, I think I live somewhat quite a kind of normal life really.

Are you up for doing a quick read of me? Like, do you think that there's been any messages from the other side coming through strongly whilst we've been chatting?

Yeah.

Do you know what? There was the name Michael floating around my head a minute ago.

Okay.

I felt like this was somebody alive. Hold that for the moment. Yeah. I don't know if this is somebody you're gonna have a run-in with in your business.

Okay, someone that's gonna cause some drama?

Could be, but I think this is somebody that you already know.

Okay.

Just hold that for a moment. This is to do with signing some kind of agreement. Okay. When I think about family, I have to acknowledge a man who passed with a very sudden heart attack. Now, this feels to me to be like dad. Your dad is alive.

Yeah.

Are you in contact?

No.

So we need to, but I need to acknowledge a man. This could be connecting around your dad. And I know I've got to talk about actually more than one heart attack. I also want to say to you that, I know I say I don't really go into health, but I feel like you're in quite a good space in your health. Okay.

Yeah.

I feel like your past has, there's been some difficulty with health. Are you intolerant to stuff?

Yeah, quite a bit.

Yeah. Yeah. But I think that you're in a good space with it now. And I don't know if your mum's the same.

Yeah, she is.

Yeah, this man does feel to be dad connected around your dad though. I need a bit more. I definitely go to my heart. I definitely have a heart attack. I definitely feel like I have more than one. Have you got any Scottish connections?

Um, not that I can think of off the top of my head.

Well, I need to go like Scotland. Just hold that for the moment.

Okay.

Yeah.

Um, let me go back to the intolerance thing for a minute. So yeah, so you've got that, your mum's, your mum gets that as well. And, um, yeah, I feel like you're in a good, you're in a good kind of health space, if that makes sense. I don't see any kind of alarming coming up for me.

Good.

For you, would you understand, um, with regards to relationship, that I'm a little bit torn if you're married or not, but bear with me. But what I do feel is that marriage is not a— you know, some people feel like, oh, I need to get married and I need to get engaged and I need to have a wedding. And like, do you understand if I said that you don't need that?

Yeah, I've said to my partner, like, I would much prefer to just have a kid and live the rest of my days out without getting married. I just think it's a waste of money.

Yeah, you're not married?

No.

Yeah, didn't think so. And I just feel like you're happy in the way of not having to have— not having to have that.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

I really get the feeling that you, I don't know if this was like your first serious relationship, but I get the feeling that it's, this is like the first real significant love in your life.

Yeah, definitely.

I don't know why I need to go back to being like 22, 23. How long you been together?

Um, 10 years. So I was 27 at the time.

Right. And I wonder what the 22, 23 was about.

I was with someone for like 3 years from the age of 22, and I thought that was my biggest relationship. And at the time it probably was, but Yeah, that ended tragically.

But yeah, I pick up on the kind of like marriage side of things, and I don't feel like I need to be, do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Very content where you are. I wanna say that you're gonna invest money in property. Okay.

Okay. I've been looking into that lately.

Right. But I kind of feel like this is gonna be, um, there's a lady trying to connect with me now. I don't know who that man was. I wish you could have given me a bit more on that, but Um, yeah, property comes up for you. And really, um, I think you can be quite— I think you can overthink quite a lot. I want to say that your partner is the opposite.

Yeah.

I'm feeling maybe quite— I'll be honest with you, I think he has made some mistakes around work or money-related things.

Yeah.

I think he can be a little bit, um, not necessarily naive, but I think sometimes he likes to see the good in everybody. And I think you can be a little bit more skeptical.

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

I also wanna say to you that, and I think this is on your partner's side, is to avoid like stocks.

Okay.

I'm seeing like stocks and investing and I'm seeing losing money. Okay. Right. I feel like this sort of thing don't interest you. Mm-hmm. I feel like you, you, I mean, I see you in Dubai, to be honest, as well.

Dubai.

Okay. Yeah.

This lady, right, let's see. There's a name Anne here. Mm. I have to talk about an older lady. I don't feel, that might not be her name, so hold that for a minute, but I know the name Anne is significant. I definitely feel this lady here who, um, she's got a hand on her head, so to me that always symbolises like dementia.

Okay.

Or losing my mind, there's something wrong with my mind. This is very mum's side of the family. Okay.

I might have to ask my mum about that.

Mum? Yeah, I wanna say this is somebody that your mum looked after.

Alright. Okay. Well, she, my mum actually worked with like the elderly.

Oh, was it?

Yeah.

Oh. Is there anybody passed that you wanna focus on?

I mean, I've always said I would love a message from my granddad more than anyone else.

What's his name?

Ken.

Is there a Tony that connects as well?

Tony.

Who's alive?

Oh yeah, there is. Yeah. I've just thought, yeah, my cousin.

So your granddaddy's Ken, yeah?

Yeah.

And if I'm right, if this is your grandad here, he looks like he's got a lot darker hair than you. Younger, younger, nice?

Younger. I think it was probably about my colour, like a blondie brownie colour.

Hold that for me for the moment.

Okay.

I felt like I was very smart.

Mm-hmm.

And if this is your grandad, there's definitely a real pressure across my chest.

Yeah.

But I kind of feel like I don't want to do anything about it. I kind of feel like I don't want to go hospital or doctor, or I feel like I kind of leave it. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it totally makes sense. Yeah.

I feel like I leave it. There's a highlight here of like 2 weeks. I don't know if I sort of sit about for 2 weeks not feeling well and I sort of leave it and then I pass away. It's kind of like this, this kind of, um, is it, this is Mumps side, is it?

Yeah, it is.

Yeah. He's tearing up a document in front of me.

Tearing up a document.

Yeah. And I don't know if this is to do with like, not a will, but some, something to do with his passing. So they're making me, they're making me think about my granddad, right? I just told, so my granddad tried to donate his body to medical science. Right. Making me think about that for some reason. So I wonder if, and I see paper torn up in front of me. I don't feel this is to do with a will. I feel this is to do with something around Grandad's passing.

Okay.

I also need to go to about the 7th of January.

7th of January. Yeah, that's one of my cousin's birthdays.

Right. And where is the Lynn or Linda name around your mum?

I've got an auntie on my dad's side called Lynn.

On your dad's side?

Yeah.

Okay. And would I be right in saying that you were left your Grandad's watch?

Yeah.

Yeah. And I, I feel like he was looking for, looking through like suit jackets. Did you get left a jacket?

Yeah, I did. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you know what? You're very, you're completely the opposite of materialistic. Like, you like nice things. You're in a position where you can kind of buy what you want. You can get what you want. If you want a bag, you go and get it. If you want to wear a nice Armani, you go buy it. You can, you know, you're in a good position in that as well. You're not looking at Range Rovers, are you?

No, but I've got one.

They have that.

Yeah.

Oh, okay, fine. But yeah, your granddad's chest definitely wasn't good and I definitely feel like I don't wanna get any help about it. Yeah. There is the name John James, but they come together.

Yeah.

So I kind of, who is that? My dog. What?

Is that right?

My dog's, is it really?

My dog's called JJ. Yeah.

Is it really? Okay.

And I used to always call him John James when he was, when he was a puppy.

Oh, how funny. Right, okay, well, he's saying that to me. Okay, fine.

He loved— he loved JJ, to be fair.

Yeah, very smiling, very happy, but also quite serious side. Yeah, quite kind of like a bit— I don't know if this is the wrong word, but a little bit cynical. Like a little bit, um, you know, like I can laugh and joke, but I can also be quite serious. Yeah, I'm a little bit like, depends on what day you get me. Yeah, you know, do you know what I mean?

Definitely.

Yeah.

But you're very similar to your granddad. I also see weakness in the legs with him. I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit questionable if he had a stroke, you know. Okay. Something's making me feel like if I'm not, I say questionable because I don't feel it's 100% correct, but it's a bit like the symptom of, it's like my face and my legs, I feel funny. I feel my face and my legs don't feel right. So me, it's making me think stroke, kind of. But he didn't like strangers in the house. Like, there wasn't, there was no way of getting carers in the house or, or, or, you know, very, very kind of like old-fashioned, traditional sort of, do you know, do you know what I mean? Have you just got the one, one child?

Yeah, we have.

Yeah. One. I only say, 'cause I remember seeing on your Insta, is it a boy or girl?

He's a boy. Yeah. He's a boy.

Okay, fine. I just remember seeing something. I saw the video of you going upstairs.

Oh yeah, when he was laughing away.

Yeah, I didn't really, I honestly, I must have seen it quick and my memory's like, is it a son or daughter? It's fine, but I know you've got a child. Okay, I do, I do see more than one child, but I kind of feel like, are you one of three?

No, my mum is, I'm not.

How many siblings do you have?

I don't, I don't have any.

You're an only child, right? Okay, because what I was, right, because what I was gonna say, she was. I sort of see two children, but what I felt was that I didn't want my child to be an only child. Okay. I should have just said that before I said about the siblings, but what I saw was, what I saw was like, oh, I was hesitant whether I'm going to have another child or not. And I think this is a conversation you and your partner are going to have. It's like, you know, what's like when, and are we gonna, and you know, do we, you know, do we want to, like, are we, do you know what I mean? That's probably where that comes from. But I see, so mum's one of three. Okay. And this is like mum's dad, is it? I was talking about.

Yes, it is. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. And there's a Steven.

Steven's my auntie's partner.

Like an uncle. Well, not an uncle, but like kind of.

Well, yeah, cuz he's not married, but yeah.

I got the right, felt like it was like an uncle.

Aye.

Did you wanna ask me anything?

I just wanna ask if my business is gonna be okay.

Yeah, I, I don't see any, there is something, there is something I, I felt first, which was about like, yeah. Contract or, or there's something that I agree to that doesn't feel right of the past. And there was like a Mike, Mike, or a definite M. Okay. But I sort of feel like this is somebody that I would be aware of. I don't feel like this is somebody coming into my life. I think this is somebody that would be, that would be around me.

I'm going to keep an eye out with that.

I feel like you need more of a divide with work and home life.

Oh yeah, 100%.

But I also don't feel that I need to have an office. It's a bit of a funny one. It's a little bit like, if I get an office, am I going to be there enough? Am I just going to throw money away? It's a little bit like this, do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

You can probably do a lot of your work from home. I mean, like, you know, my computer's in the living room. It's like, I've got an outbuilding outside that I don't even use, and I had that built for work. But for me, it's just easier to sit at my table. Do you know what I mean? But then you kind of need more of a— I'm the same, I need more of a divide, you know?

Yeah. I mean, I'm sat right here right now in me living room and the office is empty down the road.

Yeah, I'm the same. But I sort of just— have you got an office, did you say?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's all just sitting there. Yeah, yeah, it's all just sitting there. I definitely see like other countries with you. Have you got a book?

Yeah, there's one coming out in January.

Yeah, you have to book out and that will kind of like, um, that'll kind of like, I think, develop some other country sort of stuff.

Okay.

I think Dubai is your personal life. I think America is work connected. Yeah. I sort of see the book and then I see, I think you're gonna, I think you're gonna do something for kids as well, you know.

Something for kids?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Bear that in mind.

I don't know if this is crystals for children or, or, or I see children, sort of like see children and then your work and then something connected around that as well. So whether this is like I don't know, something around crystals and children. Just remember that.

Okay.

But yeah, no, I don't see anything that makes me feel like I need to worry about anything.

Good.

Work.

But I just feel like you're anxious because of your, do you know what I think it is? I think it's because you've, you've respectfully, yes, you've had support, but you haven't been given money or taking this from your parents or, or it's very kind of like what you've achieved, you've achieved yourself.

Yeah.

So I think that with regards to like your work, It's almost like, was it all just gonna slip away from me?

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel majority of the time.

And I do think about like a warehouse kind of thing as well. So like selling stuff, you know, that's got potential. So that, that I think that comes kind of later down the line.

Okay.

I don't think you like, I think you like to do new things and put new things out, but you get overwhelmed.

Yeah, I do. Do you know what I mean? 100%.

So it's a bit, it's a bit like you want to sell crystals and sell this and do this and this and whatever, but oh, you know, how do I feel about that?

Yeah. No? Yeah.

Your partner, I think that in the longer term, it's a bit like you might work together more, but what I feel is that you don't want to, you don't, you want to kind of keep things separate, but at the same time, I don't see him being happy.

Yeah. I mean, he's, he's totally overwhelmed with his work as well. He's a graphic designer. And he does all—

I was gonna say technology or something.

Yeah, so he does all of my graphic design work for the website and stuff like that, and I've always said I would love to be able to make enough to just employ him to do it full-time.

Ah, right.

So that's probably where that came from, yeah.

But you kind of don't wanna— I feel like I kind of don't want to do that at the same time, but I don't want him to be trapped where he is.

Yeah, exactly that.

I was looking at a computer, I was thinking technology, computing, or That's what comes, right? Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

All right.

Amazing. Thank you for that, Chris.

No, that's all right.

So just before we wrap up, Chris, I just want to say congratulations on the book as well, You Must Be Psychic. I finished it 2 days ago. So I love that there's a real mix of information in there as well, not just about being psychic, but also about working with divination tools like crystals, tarot decks. I actually really enjoyed it. And your podcast as well, like Forever Love. Do you have any plans to bring that back anytime soon?

No, I did, you know, I, you know, I did that all my, all myself, you know, and I, I did everything from, from the filming to the recording to the, I had people come to the house. You know, people would apply online and I'd pick random people to come to the house and, but it was so much work because especially with doing readings for people, you, you know, you'd sort of sit down and then it's, oh, I can't have that in there. And that, that, I had this one lady come.. And, um, I'm doing this reading and I said, oh, so, um, around your work, and I gave her two names. I said, I can see these people causing problems for you. She went, yeah, that's exactly who they are. And I said, you know, one is Italian. She went, yep, she is. And, you know, and gave so much information about it. She was like, I can't have that in there. I work in the military.

Yeah.

And I was just like, uh, do you know what? Like, you know, great information, but You know, I, I went on a podcast last week and I was talking to the producer and she said, like, you know what, like, you should have a podcast, you know, it'd be amazing. I did that. I had, I have, I had one, but I, it was too much for me.

Yeah, I get that.

So if it was a bit more managed, you know, and I had, I had support and it wasn't just me doing it all, then, um, but the thing is when you're reading for people and it's my reading, I kind of need to listen back and I need to pick what Do you know what I mean? Yeah, definitely. It's hard, you know?

Yeah, I feel like I was just getting into it and then it stopped and I was like, oh no, I need me weekly fix.

Oh my God.

Yeah, so thank you for that.

No, thank you. Maybe that's given me a bit of a kick up the arse.

Amazing.

No, I really would, I would, but I just need a bit of help. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

I think if I did bring it back, it would be different. I'd have it done in like a studio, have someone arrange the guests to come on and have the readings, and I'd have them edit it as well.

Yeah, definitely.

I was doing the whole lot. You just need a delegate.

It a bit more. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, Chris, I'm so grateful for your time and coming on the podcast today, sharing your wisdom, gift with us all. How can people find you online if they want to work with you?

Just search me online, Chris Wright-Bike It, on all platforms. If you want to book any kind of reading, there is a waiting list, but if you go through my Instagram, you'll find the link to that. Yeah. Thank you so much.
