So with that, I want to welcome Katie Becker. Thank you The next feature I'm sorry,

Unknown: 2:47

okay. All right.

Brian Smith: 2:48

Yeah, I am a little flustered today as telling Katie, before we get on, I was on another call before this. And it messed up my entire system, my camera wouldn't work or anything. I'm used to going through with near death experiences. But this was all the different this was actually my end. So I appreciate your patience, Katie,

Unknown: 3:04

no problem. So, um,

Brian Smith: 3:07

I'd like to do is just introduce you to my audience. So first of all, tell me a little bit about Katie, who are you?

Katie Beecher: 3:13

Um, well, the right now anyway, I for the past, probably seven, eight years, I've worked primarily as a medical and spiritual intuitive before that, I was mostly a licensed counselor, even though I worked really intuitively as a counselor. And I help people all over the world with medical problems, emotional stuff, spiritual stuff, relationships, trauma, basically, a little bit of everything. Some people who hire me are actually sick and have illnesses. And some people just want to know more about, you know, how to make their relationships better, or connect to intuition. Things like that.

Brian Smith: 3:56

Okay, so your, um, how did you get started as a medical intuitive? How'd you realize you had this ability?

Unknown: 4:03

That is a question I always get asked. And because it's, it's very, as much as I love my work, it's really strange. And to try and explain it to have I know, the things I know, is, I don't think I actually could even know I've learned to trust it very much. But as a kid, I was always picking up people's energies, and I knew things you know, about the adults that were talking just their, you know, their moods, or what was going on, right? Tell my parents things about other adults. And they'd be like, you know, how do you know that, um, and so and I was always super sensitive, you know, picking up environmental stuff, close to animals, that kind of thing. And then I started to pick up the energy of people from the other side, I guess you would call them dead people, but a lot of the energy was negative and evil. And it was very, very scary. So as you can imagine, as a kid, you want nothing to do with it, and turn it all off. So coming from a very dysfunctional family, I developed an eating disorder, and pretty severe depression was close to suicide. And I really believe it was divine intervention that saved me. And I called our pediatrician at the age of 16. Without telling my parents and said, You know, this is what I'm doing. And he didn't seem too flustered by it. It was, you know, 1983 they weren't really talking about eating disorders that much, but thankfully, I pushed and he gave me the name of a youngin therapist, hmm. Took me a couple months to get the courage to call her but you know, fortunately I did. And she, I don't know how much you know about young in philosophy or young Elon young in psychology, but he He is very was very open to things like intuition and mediumship and astrology. And he done his work and drew from just all kinds of disciplines. So she was the perfect person for me to work with, because she helped me to connect my intuition and find self love and to accept, you know, the weird things that were happening and to accept my abilities and not to be afraid of them, and to learn to use them. And so I, I read recovered from Lamia for 30 years, which is amazing, over 30 years now I became a counselor, and wasn't really using my abilities that much for anything they'd nor like, you know, for friends or something and things would come up. And then as I would start to work with clients, I'd start to I was starting to shed all their relatives, hmm, during sessions, and it was very natural, but also very weird at the same time, but I realized, you know, I can't ignore this any longer. And I need to pursue it. So I joined a spiritualist church, okay, that was nearby. And for people who don't know, they actually had medium readings, and things during their services, equal experience. So then, about 12 years ago, my mom got a flu shot. And she became 100%, paralyzed and blind. And, you know, went on this path of just learning about toxins and, and all kinds of other things, which has been really, really valuable experience. But I ended up being a caretaker, family discord, the whole thing that goes along with all that kind of stuff. And I realized that the work I've been doing as a counselor, and as an artist just wasn't, it wasn't the same anymore. It wasn't fulfilling, you know, the same need, I wasn't doing as much helping as I would like, and started looking for other things to do. And I ended up going to a workshop for three days with the medical intuitive, just kind of on a whim, I didn't really know much about it. And after, like, the first thing she did was say, I'm gonna give you the name and age of person or animal or something. And I didn't think I would know anything, but I ended up being able to see what they looked like and know things about their life and their childhood and their health and kind of, you know, surprising me as much as anyone else. But at the end of the first day, she said, I don't know what you do in real life, but you should pursue this. So I kind of took an online class with her it was a once a month thing, and then I've just been doing it ever since I really feel like this is my calling. Wow. Wow. So long answer. Yeah.

Brian Smith: 8:43

No, that's, that's great. I appreciate the background. So you what age did you start feeling people from the other side, it was Do you remember

Unknown: 8:54

me being like, two or three and just knowing things about my parents, and being able to pick things up from them and, and actually feeling like, almost like somebody was talking me from the other side, like, these people are not responsible enough to ratio, you have to kind of face yourself, you know, just just a deep knowing. And I remember around 10, when the exorcist came out, is when I was more cognizant of picking up, you know, evil things. My therapist said, it's because I realized that evil does exist, so I took it seriously.

Brian Smith: 9:29

So, um, I have a lot of questions to ask you. So one of the things is, you know, a lot of times I've worked with a lot of mediums, and then they'll say there's a difference between a psychic and a medium. And the difference is, psychics can pick up things from people on this site means pick up from things on people on the other side. So it sounds like you're getting both,

Unknown: 9:47

I do get both I do. When I do my readings, I do the report first and it's very long. And I download information from my guides, but I also often get information about the person in the present. I also get information from their loved ones who have passed on a pretty regular basis or sometimes there are paths. So it's definitely a combination of both. I primarily work on the here and now like what can we do about making your life better now and moving forward and definitely resolving trauma and things like that, but I really believe in you know, being able to let go of as much as possible in a healthy way and just moving forward.

Brian Smith: 10:35

Yeah. So um, so when you when you do this, your guides are guides and their loved ones are giving you information about about the target the person that you're that you're trying to and that you're you're reading, right and so you learn about their traumas, I guess their medical conditions and literally everything

Unknown: 10:55

It's, it's there. I use Personally, I use the seven chakras, which are the seven energy centers in the body for people who don't know. So it allows me to look at the person as a whole. And I look at emotional, spiritual and physical issues, okay. And it's literally everything, it's their physical characteristics, you know, problems that they're having, with their physical body, emotional issues, it's traumas, childhood stuff, family things, relationships, career, how they are working with their intuition, or her afraid of it, they are, you know, I help people connect with that. And because I really feel like you have to look at the whole person. Yeah, you know, we're not one dimensional. And, for me, I've had enough strange experiences myself that just looking at physical didn't, you know, give me the answers that I needed. So,

Brian Smith: 11:53

yeah, well, we're physical, mental, spiritual beings. So I think it makes sense to look at us in a more well rounded way. The other thing that's interesting is, is the idea of evil and what evil is. So I know that some people in the spiritual world say, well, there is no such thing as evil. It's all it's all love and light. Some people say there is evil, and you talk about the fact that you were able to recognize evil. And you also talk about protecting ourselves from evil. So tell me more about like, what this evil is and how we interact with it.

Unknown: 12:25

Sure, and this is just my perspective. So other people may have had different experiences, but I definitely do believe in, in love, and then the opposite that of that, to me is evil, if you will, and, and I guess I define evil as something that makes you turn away from yourself, and your authenticity, and love, and loving other people. And something that causes, you know, tries to make problems between people, and to, you know, create prejudices and biases and, and things like that. And the way that it made sense to me, as far as the evil that I was picking up, is that it was trying to use fear to keep me away from the abilities that I was going to use to help people heal and love themselves and connect to love and intuition. And I believe that intuition is God within which is not from me, it's a Carl Jung term. But you know, I believe that when we're connected to intuition, it's our authenticity, it's, it's love, it's something that keeps us safe and nurturing. So, and I've unfortunately grew up in a home where there was a lot of evil. And that is what I determined I was picking up. It wasn't from my old house, it wasn't from, you know, it's from my home. And I've constantly constantly had to separate myself from those individuals. But, and I guess I don't, I don't look at evil as something that can possess you, that is all powerful. I think that we can be vulnerable to it. Like if we are in states of, you know, substance abuse, where we're we're not cognizant of what's going on, or if we actively engage with evil people or spirits or something like that. But I was always taught that as long as you're connected with love, you're always protected and nothing can hurt you. And so it's that those fears that keep people from connecting to intuition and and connecting to their psychic abilities, if you will, which I think we all have.

Brian Smith: 14:44

Yeah. So when you talk about evil, then are we talking about evil entities, or we talk about evil as like a force? Or,

Unknown: 14:53

I guess to me, it's more of a force that people can definitely become attracted to, although I do have a weird story for you about it. Yeah. So I was in college. And my then boyfriend who was living in Connecticut, and I was in DC. And we were talking on the phone at night. And all of a sudden, ice could see the moon outside of his room in Connecticut from DC. And I just started to feel very strange. I couldn't explain it. And he said, I feel like there's something strange going on too. And the next thing I knew I was having an out of body experience and I was in his room and Connecticut, which ever happened to me before. I wasn't trying to do it wasn't something I asked for. So it felt Okay, it was fine. And then I guess, whatever led me to that decided to have me come back and I remember being attached to this metallic color. Word. And this, I don't even know what you call it, I'll call it an entity, if you will literally jumped on my back, as I was trying to get back. And I felt evil before, this was the most intense evil I'd ever felt in my life. It was terrifying. It was sort of half monkey ish creature with some human to it. And I just kept saying the Lord's Prayer over and over and over, and I remember physically shaking to try and get it off, and it finally left on so that was definitely different. Um, you know, and yeah, so that was, it was something.

Brian Smith: 16:37

Yeah, you know, it's, it's, it's really interesting, because just I talked to people, some people say that they don't believe this type of entity exists and other people. So they've had experience with it. So you know, if you've had an experience with it, you have, but as you were talking about it earlier, talking about evil reminded me, I'm reading this series of books now. It's called the team. And there's a concept in this and she calls it vibrational spheres. And these are like energy spheres that are there there that we can contribute to as humans. And so as we choose love and light, we contributed those tears. If we become addicted to something, we contribute to that sphere, and people can get kind of caught up in the poll of these different spheres. Interesting, that kind of made sense to me as a concept of what something that like an evil attraction or something might be?

Unknown: 17:24

Yeah, no, I that makes a lot of sense. I mean, energy definitely exists. Love definitely exists. So why isn't there? You know, the counter to that? And we certainly have seen examples in our own presently, but and through history. Yeah. People who are evil, I don't know any other word for it.

Brian Smith: 17:45

Yeah, well, there's, there's certainly, you know, there's, there's light and love. And then there's some people say the opposite of love is fear. And I kind of like that that's

Unknown: 17:56

evil uses fear as its tool. So I definitely subscribe.

Brian Smith: 18:00

So how do we protect ourselves against it?

Unknown: 18:03

What I learned was when I learned to connect with intuition, which is, you know, my authentic self, the love within God, within, as long as you're just in a space of love, and you're a loving person, and you have good intentions, you're protected. I don't think we have to do anything fancy. I think that if you are subjected to people that make you feel bad, especially bad about yourself, there's abuse, there's whatever you're subjected to that the more that you are susceptible to those kinds of fears and that negativity, because you don't treat yourself when you're not going to feed other people. Well, and that's how the negativity spreads. But I honestly like I don't think that you need to do anything special except be in a place of loving kindness.

Brian Smith: 18:57

Yeah, so it's no no spells or anything like that. It's really a matter of choosing to stay positive and to, to love yourself, I guess, is what you're saying?

Unknown: 19:08

I think so. And not that there aren't credible people who do energy healing, who can help with, you know, energy blocks, or helping infuse you with loving energy and things like that? Not people who do help with that. Right. But I think we have a lot more power than we give ourselves credit for. Yeah.

Brian Smith: 19:30

So you've mentioned and in your bio that you had healed from the eating disorder, which you mentioned earlier, you had as a child, but yet also Lyme disease?

Unknown: 19:40

I did. Yeah. I found out proximately 656 years ago that I had had it since I was a child growing up in Connecticut, two towns over from lime. And it was everywhere. I mean, every case of Lyme is very different. No matter. You know, who you are just going to present with different symptoms, but I didn't have it to where it was debilitating. But I knew something was just not right. And the doctor that I worked with, was a naturopath that I'd worked with for you know, since I was 17. He just helped me a lot of different things. So he was very experienced. And he said I had been trapped probably been treating it for my whole life just treating symptoms with different, you know, food or vitamins or whatever I was doing. But a really fascinating thing happened from that as I got better. The depression that I had suffered since I was, you know, an adolescent went away. That was pretty amazing. I was not expecting that.

Brian Smith: 20:44

Yeah. So how did you start getting better from the Lyme disease,

Unknown: 20:48

he he treats pretty naturally. Again, every you know, treatment a little bit for me I really did not want to use antibiotics because I have horrible tolerance to them. And I didn't feel I needed them. And so we were able to do that. I looked at it from a spiritual point of view, and said, what is going on my life? Why is this happening now? What, you know, how could this be manifesting is fear? You know, what is the message here, what, how is God intuition, whatever trying to get my attention, and get to see what I need to change. And for me, it was writing the proposals in my book that I knew I needed to write since I was 16. But so we, you know, looked at it from all different points of view, he also used a rife machine, I don't know if you're familiar with that. It's an electronic frequency machine, it can definitely be controversial. People have made claims that are not accurate about it. But for, you know, for me, and for a lot of the other people that I know, it definitely was part of me getting better. So I basically used whatever I could use, you know, really tried to look at it from all directions, diet, and you know, everything. But it was it was it was individualized treatment, which are important for anything.

Brian Smith: 22:59

Yeah. So you've mentioned also that I think union union psychology plays a big part in your, in your philosophy. And so tell me a little bit more about I know a little bit about it, I know, it sounds like a common, almost a spiritual form of psychology.

Unknown: 23:15

It is, it's, he's, he has written hundreds of books, and it's a book that you read, and then it hurts your head after but you know, he got something out of it. He was a successful psychiatrist in his time, which is sort of the the early to mid 1900s. And he was a disciple of Freud at first, and then they split off. But he actually developed a lot of his theories and practices, from waking trances that he used to go into. And he started, I think this is one of the more interesting parts of his life. And it kind of applies to a lot of what I do. But he started having these visions of bloody rivers and people in the water, who were bloody and just sort of warlike scenes and didn't know what they were. And he thought he was going crazy and having a nervous breakdown. And everyone around him said, don't tell people about that, you know, just check yourself in somewhere, there's something wrong with you. And to his credit, he courageously decided to go towards it, instead of going away from it. And he put himself into these waking trances, to try and learn what was going on. And he developed relationships with different intuitive guides, he did a series of very elaborate, amazing watercolors. And he actually wrote a dialogue to the people that he was meeting in these trances, and it became something called the Red Book, okay, which if you have not seen or looked at, um, it's, it's amazing, it's all in script, and the pictures are beautiful. And it's, again, it's one of those you read a little bit of and then hashtag break. But, um, so, to this day, some people said he actually did have a nervous breakdown, but his mom's whole side of the family were mediums. his dad's were religious pastors and things like that. So, um, but a lot of people and I do believe that this is the case, believe it, he was actually having a premonition to World War One. He lived in Europe, and it was the things that he described later, were very much like scenes that actually did happen. So consequently, his way of practicing is a lot of emphasizing talking to your, your inner spirit, talking to your symptoms, for example, instead of fighting them, seeing them as friends, and asking, why are you here? What do you need for me to heal? A lot of symbolism, a lot of the archetype stuff, dream interpretation. You know, really believing that we have what we need inside of us to heal, we just need to have it brought out. And, and I have to say that connecting with intuition and finding self love and self acceptance is why I healed and without that, I wouldn't even be here.

Brian Smith: 26:20

Yeah, I think what you just said there is very important and I think a lot of us, you know, have really struggled with that, you know, connecting with our intuition and, and our own path. We're taught that we're powerless. You know, a lot of us have been taught by people around us that, you know, we're powerless and, you know, to we're not we're sinners, you know, stuff like that. And we're told to go to doctors and Trust that what the doctor says and that we're always giving our power away, it seems like,

Unknown: 26:48

I really agree. I really, really agree. And we need each other, you know, and we need each other's wisdom, but to, you know, I always tell people, I never want you to substitute my intuition for yours. So when I send people, the reports before me and the paintings, but we always go over them together, and I always say, if something doesn't fit, I want to know, and let's figure out why it's there. Or, you know, could it be for somebody that you love? Or somebody in your past? Or is it symbolic? Or am I just having an off day with that one? You know, there's like, 75 bits of pieces of information on each report. So it's extensive. So, you know, sometimes I, I'll get something for the person that I was doing the reading for just before them or whatever. But you know, it's really important that it be an interactive process. Yeah. And I empower them.

Brian Smith: 27:39

Yeah. So you said people come to you, sometimes with medical conditions? And so are you a healer? Or do you diagnose? And how does that work?

Unknown: 27:52

Very good question. So while I am a Reiki Master, and I've done other forms of hands on healing and distance healing, I can do that. But primarily, Well, number one, I don't diagnose because it's illegal and unethical. And especially as a licensed professional counselor, it's especially important that I don't do that,

Brian Smith: 28:15

right. So

Unknown: 28:17

even when I am giving people details, you know, if I pick up symptoms, if I, if I hear a quote, diagnosis, I will put everything down that I hear, and then check it out with the person because sometimes they know it already. And sometimes it's new. But I have people that I really trust that I refer to medical people who can either verify my information who can do some testing, who can do some different types of treatment, you know, things like that, because I I like working with the team, I like having people have other support, but also because I'm not a test. I'm not a doctor and don't want to play one on TV, right? As the commercial goes. So, um, but we. So like, for example, with medical stuff, I can say, you know, these are some of the herbs that are coming up, that I think would be helpful, or these are some of the strategies within your relationship, or whatever. And then I always say, you know, please, if, as far as medical stuff, please check these out their physician, check them out with you see how it feels to your intuition. Let's look up whatever else you're on, are using to make sure there's no interactions, right? herbs are not candy, you know, stuff like that. And so I'm, I'm really proud of that. And I'm especially careful about that. And I've also had my abilities and accuracy. I don't know if tested is the right word, but we did an article in a peer reviewed journal, edited by out an MD, and we did a informal study at like 75 or 80 of my clients and also a lot of their physicians, so we use their medical records, man. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It was important to me as a clinician to do that. And I found out to be 95% accurate as an average. So that was pretty cool.

Brian Smith: 30:18

Wow, that's, that's incredible. That's amazing. And I love that you've done I'm a scientist, myself, my background is chemical engineering. And so even as I study all this, this woowoo stuff to use that word. You know, I think there it should be able to be tested, you know, to some extent, we can't test everything. We can't test everything clinically. But we can we can correlate data and we can figure out whether or not you know, this makes sense. So it's not just your feeling that you're that you're being an accurate. So give me give me some idea without disclosing any confidentiality is, of course, the types of things that you've been able to diagnose. Okay, no, diagnose treat. Right, right, right. However, I'm

Unknown: 30:57

the right there you go. Um, literally everything. I mean, I can't, I can't even the list is so long. But um, you know, I do work with line people. There's a lot of things that get misdiagnosed. Yes, especially autoimmune wise, immune things, you know, PCs, help with fertility, things that, you know, emotional issues. I have a client who has recovered from a brain tumor, who's having seizures. I mean, literally, like, everything you can think of, like autism and God, just everything, you know, just general sort of, you know, weird little mysteries and terms and pains and mold, a lot of mold toxicity stuff and chemical sensitivity and food, things gut things. There's a lot of I really like the overlap of the spirituality and the physicality because I often will be able to tell if somebody has had sexual trauma of some type. And they don't often relate it to the physical, emotional issues that they're having, especially, you know, they've done a lot of work on it. So to be able to connect all these little dots of this is kind of still going on, these are some things that you know, more onion skin that you have to peel back, right? Or what happens a lot is people will come to me with physical issues. And sometimes they'll say, I don't think anything else is going on. It's just, you know, I have this whatever. And, you know, and they're all in cover that they're having, they're in a really bad marriage for a long time, or they hate their job, or whatever. And, you know, we talked about the fact that you, you're not gonna feel physically better, until you make those changes, and a lot of them are waiting to make the changes until they feel better.

Brian Smith: 34:05

Huh, yeah, that's that's a good point. It's interesting, as you were talking about some of the things I was thinking, you mentioned lime, you mentioned mold. And I know someone that was going through different diagnoses or things like that, because a lot of times, we don't know where the mold is. and lime presents in different ways. Food allergies? So do you would you get something like you should stop eating corn? I mean,

Unknown: 34:28

yeah, that happens, or I can pick out oftentimes I can pinpoint in their house with a mold is that's happened several times. Or if they're in, I'll pick up, you know, when you're in this place? Do you have more reactions a little bit? Yeah, I never thought of that. Um, you know, like, sometimes there has to be five minutes in their, in their barn, or it's in their place of work, or things like that, you know, or I'll say, I feel like, as you've gotten older, you're much less tolerant to dairy, or, you know, that kind of thing. So it's, I just basically go with whatever my guides put in my head. And I have to be very, very careful not to interpret it. Because as a human, I can mess it up. And it's also why I want to know as little as possible about the people before I start the reading, because my human biases can make all sorts of assumptions. And then I can screw up the reading. And when I started, I had to be really careful about that. But um, but a really good example, I was doing a reading on a 12 year old girl, and I heard tooth enamel. So as a human, I thought she must have, you know, bad teeth and cavities and everything. And when I was talking to her mom, and about it, she said, you know, you just wrote tooth enamel. And I said, That's what I heard. And she said, her teeth are extraordinarily strong. So that was an identifier that I was actually tuned into them. Because a lot of that to like to prove to people that yes, you are, you know, accurate you're into and you've got all this stuff. So it wasn't about a negative thing as a positive thing. Interesting. Yes.

Brian Smith: 36:07

So with your clients when they book in a new client, so that you just get their name and then you you start the report before you ever meet them. Is that correct?

Unknown: 36:59

Yeah, I get their name and age, obviously I get their, their email, because we email each other. Right? And phone number and the Yes, then I will I have sort of a template for my reports, that it's four pages, and it's all the chakras and things. It's very detailed and very personal. You know, I've had some critics say, well, you can just go to social media. Or you could do some kind of a search, you know, get a PII or something. And the information is very, very personal. A lot of the time, it's things they've never told anyone, things from their whole lifespan. So it's not something, you know, a lot of my clients don't even have social media accounts. So yeah, I start to do that I do the report first. And then I create a symbolic energy painting in watercolor for me, because I just like watercolor. And it can be a figure or an animal, or a plant, or they're all different. And then my guides start by telling me to start with a color, and then I'll start making lines and stuff. And they sort of say, okay, you know, keep going. So they tell me where to put the colors. And I don't usually know what the painting means, until we interpreted at the end, because it's give me a lot more information. But it both confirms the information in the report and also gives additional information like, sometimes the painting will pick up sexual abuse or sexual trauma by creating a red area in the hips, for example. Hmm. And I'll hear the word trauma. And I didn't get that in the report. So it's, it's nice to have both of those tools.

Brian Smith: 38:47

So what's your What's your relationship with your guides? Like? Do you know their names do they have?

Unknown: 38:53

Yeah, it's everybody, you know, has a different experience. There are some people who used to be on this planet like my, my grandma, and my mom and a couple other people who I do know of, I don't know the names of the rest of my guides. I know one is a Native American male, he, I always seem wearing this big, Chief thing. And then there's a few there's a younger female, there's a younger female, who I think is part of his tribe. And then there's just I see it as me sitting at a round table with just tons and tons of people around it. Hmm, who are helping them? I think we all have armies of people who are looking after us.

Brian Smith: 39:42

Yeah, it's interesting, because I've heard that we all have guides, and some people I I've heard anywhere from one to dozens, and and I guess some people's guides, they said they come and they go during their lifetimes, depending on what your season is or what your particular particular needs are. So you create this report, and you sit down, you go over it with the client, I guess, and you confirm things, you know, back and forth. And you were saying that you get actually no evidential things. This is not just like, you know, your, your happy kind of a person.

Unknown: 40:15

It's very evidential. That's incredibly important to me. And that's also why I send it before we meet they get it the day before they get it before, you know, so I can't be acid. You know, and it's very detailed. It's Yeah, very, very, very detailed. So and people are the first thing I hear is How the hell did you do that? And then that was weird, but really cool. Yeah. Um, so yeah, and I went, when I went to the spiritualist church, they talked a lot about evidential mediumship, which is different from I think it's different from regular mediumship in that you give evidence of actually talking to the person and knowing the person and things that other people wouldn't know. And you I think that's really important to add to the credibility.

Brian Smith: 41:07

Yeah, do people also come to you for medium readings, or

Unknown: 41:12

sometimes not as much primary the other stuff, but sometimes, as I said, I will get information often from their loved ones, and especially in I don't know how much you know about chakras. But the fourth chakra is the heart chakra. And for some reason, that's where I often get the most information. I'll hear from somebody who either has died from that area or so they'll tell me like, what they died from, or something about them. And that's interesting, where they often come through, sometimes in the first chakra, which has to do with like, family and safety, security, and things like that. So I naturally get, you know, information about loved ones there too. But yeah, I used to I do readings on animals too. Which is super fun. Yeah, it courses and dogs and cats and other things which you learn how much like humans, they really are. When you do some of that work. It's cool.

Brian Smith: 42:17

Yeah, well give me an example of an animal that you did a reading for.

Unknown: 42:20

Yeah, so um, horses are my favorite partly because I know nothing about them. I've never Been around horses. And so I guess one of my favorite ones that I've worked with repeatedly is she was a doctor, and she had this horse. And these they were, they had very similar personalities, they had some similar health issues, you know, they had inflammation and similar parts of their bodies. The horse was having just a huge personality. And, you know, when she didn't come, the horse would get mad at her, when she'd come visit her, oh, it had got issues, it had some lime, and mold as well. So we were working with all of that. And it's, they also tell me things about their owners, which is really interesting. So because they really want us to be healthy, and they really care about us, they're sort of they're here for us, you know, to be our companions and to love us. So they want us to be as healthy as possible. To, yeah, it's a lot like doing reading on a on a human, they just, they sort of tell me things like I'm talking to you.

Brian Smith: 43:32

Okay. So when, if I were to say, I want to do a reading on my, on my dog, would you hear from my dog? Or do you hear from your guides? Or both?

Unknown: 43:41

It's both? Both, um, which is kind of different? Well, I guess that is different than when I do a human one. Well, and also, not always, sometimes the animals are deceased, like, I can do this on dead people too, which is kind of neat. And some people just want to know about, you know, their, their animal who has passed or whatever. But yeah, interesting with animals, I hear from them, and get information, you know, more neutral information, I guess, from my guides, so,

Brian Smith: 44:09

yeah, well, we talked a lot about medical, intuitive intuition. Why else do people come to you from not having a medical condition? What would be the reason? Yeah,

Unknown: 44:18

so um, they want to know about their life purpose, you know, they feel like, what they're doing is, is okay, but it's not what they wanted to do their whole lives, and they feel like they're off track. Or they want to choose where they want to create a business, or they want to do some kind of healing work, or spiritual work. And either they don't know how to get started, or they have self doubt, or, you know, they're afraid of doing something new. Sometimes it's relationships, you know, how can I make my relationship better? It's, you know, resolving trauma, I work with a lot of people who've been through trauma, and how to come back from it and feel empowered, and really be able to feel good about yourself. And I really like working with trauma people, because you can do, you can just make such a huge difference. Yeah, you know, so and, you know, mental health stuff, certainly. And just people who want to connect, learn to connect to their intuition. And their psychic abilities, part of just about every reading I do is some techniques that I use to help people connect with their intuition. Because I really feel like that's an important part of healing. So

Brian Smith: 45:36

So what type of things would that include learning.

Unknown: 45:39

So my favorite one, and this is what healed me literally would not be alive without this is the alien technique. I can't take credit for it. But it's, first of all it seeing intuition as this loving force that knows everything about you. It doesn't care what you look like what you weigh, what there's no judgment, unconditional acceptance. And it's sort of like this body guard that is with you all the time. So it's always keeping you safe, which is a different way of looking at intuition. So the technique is to physically write down a question statement, your feelings directed to your intuition. If it's uncomfortable for people to say, intuition, I say well address it to God or address it to, you know, your grandmother that you were really close to or whatever, just do what's comfortable. So write that down. And then just sit and wait for what you hear or feel See, in response to what you wrote. And then write back to it. And then see what you get in response, write that down, write back to it for as long as you feel like it. Sometimes these conversations are five minutes, sometimes I do it for 20 minutes. And it's the way that I talked to my guides, I kind of use intuition and guides in my life is sort of, you know, interchangeable. But, and sometimes the things that kind of trip people up are overthinking. Like, is this really me? Why does it just sound like my voice? You know, why aren't I having a bad experience? But I do this? Yeah. Um, why am I just hearing one or two words? Or why aren't I hearing anything or? So I just kind of tell them People go with what you get, and be open to it. And then also some people will hear things not related to what they asked about. And that's totally okay. Because our intuition has other stuff to tell us like we're not in control all the time, you know?

Brian Smith: 47:40

Yeah. is interesting, because as you were describing what the intuition is, I got the impression I was thinking like, this sounds like God, but not the guy we were talking about in Sunday school. This is like the, the idealized version of guy that always loves us, as always cares about us that there's no judgement. So that that is the part of ourselves. And that's an interesting dynamic, too, because as you were talking about that I'm thinking about, you know, is that God is that my higher self, you know, is that my guides in it,

Unknown: 48:11

and it doesn't really matter what you call it, right? The way that it made sense to me when I was learning it, when I had zero self esteem, didn't even know what intuition was, was that it was the source. So if it was the source, it made me. And if it made me, it sees me as perfect. It doesn't lie to me. And it doesn't just give me a bunch of BS, like, it tells me the truth. But it's on my side, and it knows what's best for me. And, you know, at the time, it was all eating disorder stuff. So it didn't care what I weighed, or what I looked like, or how many calories I ate that day, it really did not give a shit. It was just, you're lovable, you're acceptable, be yourself. You know, when I connected to what I felt like, for the first time in my life, I wasn't alone anymore. By myself. So the young calling it God with it, I think, is a really great description. And like you said, God, meaning the one, we all that loves all of us, you know that it doesn't care no matter what you call it.

Brian Smith: 49:18

Yeah. And I love what you said there. Because I think in going back to what we're talking about earlier, with all the negativity that's going on right now, I think another thing that's happening at this particular point in time, as of recording this in January of 2021, is a lot of people are feeling very lonely. So this, this idea of connecting to our intuition might be something that we could all use a little bit more, as we're so isolated right now.

Unknown: 49:43

Absolutely, absolutely. And just, you know, helping you to accept yourself and therefore being able to accept others, and not maybe not feeling like we're so different, maybe seeing our similarities, and, and just, you know, forgiving yourself for being human. And then you can look at other people and not see them as there's something wrong with them. Or, you know, I think so much of the problems of I'm not gonna go in, I was gonna say, the last four years, but I'm not touching that. A lot of, you know, history maybe, is that we don't either have the time or opportunity to get to know people who are, quote, different from us. And I think that's just essential, you know, and, and it's really sad, that there are people who still see so many differences.

Brian Smith: 50:42

Yeah, well, you know, the thing is, we are so quick to judge ourselves. And I think that also, we project that on to other people as well, because we were taught that we're not worthy, because we made a mistake, or we're overweight or underweight, or we're too tall or too short, or whatever it is. And, you know, the idea of love really begins with ourselves. And I think that's something I keep hearing coming from you over and over again. And for me, that's so counter to the image, or the what I was told, you know, we were told as children, it's like, you should be giving you should give to everybody else, you should take care of other people before you take care of yourself and taking care of yourself as a selfish thing to do.

Unknown: 51:24

Right. And often, if you're, if you grow up in a dysfunctional family, where there's, you know, substance abuse, or narcissism or mental illness or whatever, you grow up having to figure out what those other people need before they need it. Because if you don't respond the way they need you to, you're going to get abandoned, and you're going to be rejected. So it's not about getting to know ourselves or trusting our own intuition. You know, it's really about detachment from that. And then you kind of learn through guilt and rejection, you know.

Brian Smith: 52:02

Yeah, you know, it's interesting that you said that because I think it's a little bit of both because I so many mediums and intuitives do grew up in dysfunctional families, and they grew up with people that are abusive. And what I've heard is, I guess it's because you have to learn to read that other person, that no for most of us, we come in with our intuition and it kind of shuts down and we forget about it. But for people that have To use it that way, maybe seems to heighten it.

Unknown: 52:29

It does. I think empathy is definitely a learned skill and survival skill for a lot of people. And for some people, that means psychic ability for some people like empathic ability is different from psychic ability are different from mediumship I definitely think it's a learned skill. And, um, and I think that it's, it's where boundaries can get really iffy, and we lose ourselves and you know, the person and don't realize we can be separate. But yeah, and it's, I really believe that all of the so called negative experiences I've been through are like, the eating disorder was the best thing that ever happened to me, which sounds really crazy. But if I hadn't gotten it, I wouldn't have separated from my family, I wouldn't have learned to get to know my intuition or accept my abilities, or, or learn my life path or so many things. You know, I'm just so grateful for it. And so many of the things like when I before I found out, I had mine, I started to get all these Lyme clients. I thought, Okay, come on, really. But everything I learned about helps me help others more. So, you know, it's, it's, it's an interesting, interesting road.

Brian Smith: 53:44

It is, and you know, that what you said, you know, you're grateful for your eating disorder. I mean, that doesn't sound weird to me at all. Because I've saw, I've talked to so many people who were grateful for their cancer, are grateful for their divorce are grateful for, you know, whatever it is, that seems so taken to awaken us up. And to give us actually, it could be an opportunity to grow. And nobody wants to hear that when they're going through it. But once we come out the other side, we can say, and then maybe that's maybe that was there for my own good.

Unknown: 54:17

Exactly. Yeah, a lot of people who worked for me that, you know, we talked about things that they didn't relate to other things, and like, you gave me the courage to be able to leave my husband that I needed to leave for, you know, 20 years or because we discovered this, I realized, if I want to heal, I have to get a new job, even if it's scary, or do you know, having this and not finding help traditional medicine forced me to learn about spirituality, which I never would have done otherwise, you know, tons and tons of stories like that.

Brian Smith: 54:48

Yeah, absolutely. So I know you're working on your book. And so tell me what that's going to be when that comes out.

Unknown: 54:54

Yeah, so the title is actually just got changed. It's heal from within a guide to intuitive wellness. And it's being published by St. Martin's Press, they're, they're super great. And it's basically taking people through a reading, it gives a little bit of my backstory and how I got to where I am, and then talks about what is intuition how to connect to it, and explains, you know, the chakras as I work with them, but it's helping people identify their issues, figure out where, where in the body and in their energy field, these these issues are, so they know how to address them, gives them a lot of emotional, spiritual and physical root causes for what they have helps them to develop strategies for addressing these things. And and then, kind of like different creative exercises, like I teach people in the book, how to make one of my paintings, you know, one of my creative Yeah, I actually do workshops on that to take people through just how to do the paintings because you don't have to be medical intuitive and like special person to, to do some of this stuff, you know. And then during the workshop, we like we interpret them all individually, which is super fun. So it's kind of like my husband calls it Katie Beecher, the home game. But it's taking them through a reading process, the best that I can just having one with me. And, you know, looking at everything going on with them and then devising a plan for for health and wellness and, and healing moving forward.

Brian Smith: 56:43

Okay, so just taking them through doing a reading on themselves. Yes, yes. Okay. Wow. Okay.

Unknown: 56:49

Yeah, yeah. It's all the steps that I use. It's actually there's a blank template of the reports that I actually use them how to tap into their intuition, to, to fill that out for themselves, to look at the different chakras and say, Okay, this is like thyroid, for example. It's the fifth chakra because that's the throat. So what are the emotional characteristics of the fifth chakra? You know? What is what are the physical characteristics and it's about Being able to speak up for yourself, or giving out too much information or, or how well you communicate, or how well you're being heard as well. You know, how empowered you feel or not, there's so many different aspects to it. And then I encourage them to look at all these things and say which of these applies to you, which you think is happening in your life? And there's all kinds of like quizzes in there and worksheets and suggestions for connecting with your intuition. There's the exercise that I described to us in there.

Brian Smith: 58:00

Yeah.

Unknown: 58:02

Yeah, it's a lot of, I wanted it to be very interactive and hands on and so people could, you know, I can't work with with everyone. So it's not a substitute for reading. I'm not trying to say it is. But it's, I think it's a really helpful to like people who've read it so far, and have said, like, it's very, you make it very relatable. So that makes me feel good, because when I'm reading it, I don't remember what I'm writing. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

Brian Smith: 58:32

I think it's, I think it's important for people to start to learn a little bit more to trust our own intuition. And as I've been down this path, myself, and I talked to so many medical, intuitive Twitter's and mediums and stuff, you know, a lot of us lay people, so I could never do that I could never do what you do, and you've got some magical ability that we don't the rest of us don't have. So what would you say to someone that said something like that?

Unknown: 58:59

That happens a lot. Um, what I say is that we all have intuitive abilities, all of us. And it might be more apparent when you're young, because you haven't been told to fear it or to not trust it yet. Or that you're the devil incarnate, if you're trusting it, you know, um, but it's kind of like, like for medical intuition. You know, when you have a young child and that child's crying, there's certain cries that you pick up, and you can call it instinct, if you want. But I also call it medical intuition. You know, you kind of know, is there is that an earache? Is it a stomach ache is that there's things you just know, as a parent, and then even with yourself, you have a symptom, you will have to decide what to do with that. So you have to decide, do I need to go to a doctor? Do I need to rest, which a lot of us don't listen to soon enough? Do I need to, you know, eat something different? Do I take something, you know, how do I how do I approach what's going on in my body right now? So you're doing medical intuition.

Brian Smith: 1:00:03

You know, it's funny, as you were saying that you were talking about like, the baby's cry, I was thinking about my dog. Yeah, I can sometimes just look at my dog. And I can tell that she needs to go out. Yes, it's like, and, but I don't. So I've always said, Well, she's learning how to communicate to be non verbally. But I can just tell, you know, when she's sitting there, looking, it's like, she needs to go outside. And my wife and my daughter be like, What do you mean, I'm like, she's telling you, she needs to go out. Right? So I think we, I think we do have more than we realize, and I've just personally done a little bit of work with some mediums and some kind of workshops. And yeah, and I've done some things in there. Like it was just try to get in there as a person. And this was a woman whose son it passed, and we're gonna get something under sign. And I just like, I was blown away by some of the things I got. I was like,

Unknown: 1:00:52

yeah, as part of my workshops, I will say, I'm going to give you guys an exercise, and I look at me like, Oh, my God. And I'm taking I'm gonna give you a name and age, and I want you to write down everything you can get. And they literally are like, Oh, my God, I can't do this. I can't do this. Like, don't make me do this. And I'm like, you don't have to, but you know, yeah, it's not, no one's gonna put it on the internet. So I just have them write down whatever they have. And then in so they don't feel embarrassed, or I'll go around and look. Some of the people come because they already have an interest in what I do. And they have some abilities, but not everybody. And it's really amazing how many details they can get. Yeah,

Brian Smith: 1:01:32

yeah. Well, I just give you real quick. This this particular case, I was there was like a woman whose son passed away and they said, you know, think of a song. And I thought of a song and it was yellow rows of text. Now, I know what they said. He's putting something in your hand. You know, so think he's putting something in your hand and I What is it and I said it's a rose and it says yellow rose? And then I got the song yellow rose of Texas. So I was like, Is there some connection to Texas? Well, I think they did have a connection Texas with the wild thing was, she was doing this from her car. And her husband had given her a rose like a week or so before and it was still in her car. And she she, you know, she picks up this roses. There's this yellow rose in my car. There's something given her husband given her and remember, it's over son. And I was like, This is crazy. So I just, I say this to people to encourage you to try these things. I've done these several times. Usually off, but there have been a couple of times that have been like, you know, crazy accurate. So I think we all need to just work on that a building,

Unknown: 1:02:33

and also to not necessarily overanalyze it. Because I've learned with my stuff to just put down what I hear. And I may not know what it is, or the significance of it, or I may not like even the client first may not do like, I'm not really sure what that is. And by the end of the report, we're like, oh, God, we figured that out. Yeah. So because of self doubt, people don't tend to allow things too much about it. And it could be symbolic sometimes, you know, like, there's so many things, and you don't in daily life, you don't really have an opportunity to test that a lot. You know,

Brian Smith: 1:03:16

No, you don't. But I guess I would just encourage people to write the things down. synchronicities happens to you, these things we call coincidences, and start to look out for them. And I found myself, I'll have dreams that sometimes the next day, something will happen on like, Monday, I dreamed about a mailbox being knocked over next day with my walk, there was a mailbox laying over. Yeah, no stuff like that, and just start to pick up on the things and start to trust yourself a little bit more.

Unknown: 1:03:43

No, I think for me, one of the comments I often get is, you seem so grounded.

Brian Smith: 1:03:50

Yeah, I want to ask you about that.

Unknown: 1:03:53

But it's really important to me to not make this will not make it weird and scary. You know, because to me, it's just love. We're just connecting with love, and other people. And it's natural. And it's just because you can't see it or touch it sometimes doesn't mean it's not real. I don't want people to, you know, substitute, you know, use me as a guru or think like, I, I mean, yeah, I love having clients, and I love working with people, but I'm the first one to teach them how to connect to their loved ones, you know? Yeah. Because they don't really want to talk to me, and they want to talk to them. So I'm like, No, let me teach you in a really, you know,

Brian Smith: 1:04:36

I do love that about what you're saying. And I guess I've been very fortunate because the people that I worked with the mediums that I've met and stuff that they all say the same thing. You know, I like to work myself out of a job. You can you can all do this. Now, we're never going to trust never gonna trust ourselves about someone else. Because the other thing I've realized is, for me anyway, in talking to me, it's it's almost like your imagination. You hear your own voice. They're not you're not most people don't objectively see spirit. They're not hearing their voices is subtle impressions. Exactly. And we can all get those things. And we all we all, you know, like when you're sitting there, and you're thinking of someone and the phone rings. Exactly. And it's the person that you happen to be thinking of. I mean, we've all had that experience.

Unknown: 1:05:17

Exactly, yeah. And right before my grandfather died, my grandmother wasn't particularly she didn't talk about being a medium. She didn't talk with the staff, except when I brought stuff up to talk to her. But my grandfather was in hospice. And she didn't go the day that he died. And actually, I'm the one who said it's okay to go and, and he went, which is interesting for me, but anyway, so I said, you know, she said something about I wasn't there. I didn't go today to hospice. And I said, Yeah, I know. That's okay. You said no, it's because clear as day, the night before, I saw him sitting in his chair. And, and I knew that he had gone, you know, so it doesn't have to be weird. It happens all the time.

Brian Smith: 1:05:59

Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot more common than we think. Yeah. Katie, any any last words? You want to say before we leave for this afternoon?

Unknown: 1:06:07

I would love if people check out my website. It's um, Katie Beecher. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Katie Beecher. calm. There's going through my head. Um, yeah. Katie Beecher, calm. And I'm on Instagram. It's KTV Sure. Medical, intuitive. And Facebook, the same thing? I'd love it if you guys checked it out. And, you know, follow me make comments, ask questions, whatever.
