[00:00:00] Chandler Stroud: Hey guys, it's Chandler and welcome to the Healing Heroes. 

[00:00:04] I'm Chandler Stroud, an executive wife and busy mom of two who after years of living with anxiety health struggles and an unshakeable feeling like I should be happier, made a profound discovery that changed everything. Join me on a journey where unexpected paths lead to healing and more happiness. On this show, we will explore unconventional ways to unlock more joy in your own life.

[00:00:34] With the help of my very own healers and trusted advisors, the healing heroes.

[00:00:40] Hey everyone. Thank you for joining us once again today. I am so thrilled to have Lea, our hero and psychic medium back here on the show with us. For those of you who were able to catch our past conversations together and now know more about the valuable insights that this practice can bring to light, I'm curious.

[00:01:02] Are you thinking about getting a psychic reading of your own? We've covered so many important topics together, including the role of spirit, how to tap into your own psychic abilities, the experiences we may have with the metaphysical world, how spirit can help us become more aware of our own tendencies.

[00:01:22] And today we thought it might be time to better prepare you for a psychic reading, so that if you're considering one, you can be sure to get the most out of this very special experience. First, let me introduce Lea quickly to those listeners who may be new here. Lea Morgan is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings After careers in advertising and interior design.

[00:01:49] Lea couldn't shake the pole to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts. She also hopes to help normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information provided on her website. Lea, it is so great to have you here. Thank you for being back with us today.

[00:02:10] Lea Morgan: Hey Chandler. Thanks for having me. 

[00:02:12] Chandler Stroud: I am personally very excited for this conversation today. As many of you know, I sadly lost my father last fall, and the first psychic reading that I did with Lea many, many months ago now was sort of a whim. A friend had suggested that maybe I talk to her because I was experiencing so many strange.

[00:02:35] Experiences and occurrences within my home. It was like falling apart for mutually exclusive floods and she was like, you should just talk to her and see if like maybe there's something going on and you know she's great and you'd have a great time with her. And so I called Lea and we had this great reading that surpassed my expectations tenfold.

[00:02:56] But at that point, I had not sought her help for the death of a loved one. It was really to better understand my existing circumstances. Now that position has changed and it has very much been on my mind that I wanna talk to Lea and see if I could communicate with my father through her. I was actually just telling Lea when we jumped on to do the recording that I haven't felt called to do it yet, but that I absolutely expect to.

[00:03:22] And. Want to in the future. So today's episode on how to best prepare for a psychic reading is not only gonna help you in thinking about if you're ready for one, but I really think it's gonna help me as well understand what and when the time will be right for me to once again connect with my father. So that's just a personal aside for today because.

[00:03:49] Again, my initial intention for reaching out to Lea was so different than the position I find myself in now. And I'm really excited to get her perspective on this since I am also new to approaching it from this vantage point. So just a little side note, but Lea, I am so grateful to have you here and to be talking about this topic with us today.

[00:04:12] It's so that I. All of our listeners can be better informed as they're making these decisions and considering readings for themselves. 

[00:04:19] Lea Morgan: Yeah. I'm so happy we're talking about this today, and I sincerely don't think it's a coincidence. I feel like everything in the universe is conspiring for us and.

[00:04:33] Particularly for you on this day with this interaction and I'm sure for a lot of other people who hear this, so yeah, let's consider it perhaps help. 

[00:04:43] Chandler Stroud: I love that. Yeah. A timely conversation. 

[00:04:46] Lea Morgan: Exactly. They're happening all over our lives. It's so 

[00:04:50] Chandler Stroud: true. And I say that all the time, that life, the universe, God is conspiring for us.

[00:04:56] In so many magical ways that we often don't even understand or see. Yeah. So I'm gonna rest and trust in that concept as we move forward today. Yeah. Well, to kick us off, Lea, just to give people a refresher and new listeners a baseline understanding. Of what you do, can you quickly explain what psychic mediumship is?

[00:05:18] So we're all starting from the same page. 

[00:05:20] Lea Morgan: So, as a psychic medium, what I do is I communicate with the deceased for the benefit of the living. I like to emphasize that part. So really it's like I can tune into a radio station and get information from those who have crossed over and relay that. To my clients.

[00:05:36] Chandler Stroud: So beautifully said. Thank you for that very clear and succinct answer so that everyone understands what we're talking about today. So Lea, knowing that. I have to ask, why do most people seek your help? What are they looking for? 

[00:05:52] Lea Morgan: So what's interesting about answering this right now is you brought up both re reasons in your intro.

[00:05:58] So my clients generally come from two different buckets, right? The one that I probably get the most is people in grief wanting to connect with a deceased loved one, because that's what a medium is, right? That's the subset of psychic work. Is medium, which means you can speak to the deceased. But then the other reason is people who are just feeling stuck or having a bunch of things happen in their life, they don't understand or ready to make a change.

[00:06:24] That's more of the intuitive guidance side of my work. And in all honesty, most people get both things in the reading, but they'll come in with an intention for one or the other. 

[00:06:34] Chandler Stroud: I mean, I, I obviously saw you because I was feeling like. All these strange things were happening, and I was feeling stuck at a point in my life.

[00:06:42] So mine was very much intended to be an intuitive guidance, but to your point, grandma's showed up. So it ended up being more of a mediumship reading, which was. So helpful. I mean, it really was both that I needed at the time and it was great. But what sorts of, would you say life experiences or issues would bring someone to seek your help?

[00:07:03] Lea Morgan: In addition to the deceased loved one category you mean? Yeah, like 

[00:07:06] Chandler Stroud: if the, I think for the intuitive guidance readings in particular, like 

[00:07:09] Lea Morgan: what sorts of 

[00:07:10] Chandler Stroud: problems are people facing that would make them want to reach out to you? 

[00:07:15] Lea Morgan: Gosh, just regular life problems that we all have, right? Like sometimes it's people wanting to move and they don't know where sometimes it's wanting to change jobs or wondering what to do within their own job.

[00:07:26] Sometimes it's relationship, not just romantic or spousal relationship, but you know, relationships within family. Sometimes it is like, I'm gonna say this is kind of a dual purpose. 'cause everybody who has kids, understandably wants. Their parents to help them with their kids, but what if their parents are deceased?

[00:07:45] Right? So they will come to speak to their parents about their own children. Wow. So that's kind of using mediumship to get guidance. Right. That happens a lot. 'cause unfortunately I've met a lot of people who aren't. Very old who have lost both their parents so they understandably or lost their spouse.

[00:08:07] Right. And they're still here with a child. And so I get that a lot. Also with lost spouses. Like I just wanna talk to my husband about what to do with our child, or how to navigate this school change or this non-school change, or this behavioral thing, or this move or whatever. You know, 

[00:08:25] Chandler Stroud: that makes, makes total sense.

[00:08:26] Yeah. Yeah, I can definitely see that. It's so great to think about. Having you as a resource in those moments. 

[00:08:35] Lea Morgan: Yeah, it, it, it is. I, I also, you know, a lot of my work is encouraging people to trust in their own intuition slash psychic ability slash nudges because. I do want to help, but I just want to be like a reinforcer of the messages.

[00:08:56] They're already getting that. Then when they hear from me who didn't know what they thought already, you know, translate that message, they'll be like, oh, I felt like I heard them say that, or I felt like that was the right answer. That's the real win for me is it's so funny, is to make me obsolete. The win, the win is to phase me out.

[00:09:17] Right. 

[00:09:18] Chandler Stroud: Like a parent. 

[00:09:19] Lea Morgan: Yeah. 

[00:09:20] Chandler Stroud: You want your kids to make you obsolete. Right? 

[00:09:22] Lea Morgan: Right. So, you know, I'm always there. And I do have clients who have gotten really secure in their own connection with their loved ones or their guides. I. It's much more, more often loved ones, and I'll tell you why, but they will check in like once a year or once every two years, just to kind of go over a list of things they felt they heard or felt that they knew.

[00:09:42] You know? Yeah. However, they're getting their info. But the reason most people hear from loved ones, even when they choose an intuitive guidance reading, is because individuals in spirit understand humans, and humans are much more likely to take the advice of someone they know. 

[00:10:01] Chandler Stroud: Hmm. 

[00:10:01] Lea Morgan: Right. I think this might have come up briefly when we talked about it, your reading episodes ago.

[00:10:05] 'cause I accidentally said the name of your uncle, but or accidentally, but yeah. I mean, if we all have guides, but it's very hard to take advice from an idea. Right. Right. And it's very easy to take advice from someone you saw. So totally. Even if it's guidance from your guides, they'll just hand the note to your loved ones to pass it on.

[00:10:29] 'cause they're like, it doesn't matter who, who gets credit, what matters is they listen. That's such a 

[00:10:34] Chandler Stroud: great visual. It really is. 

[00:10:37] Lea Morgan: Like your guides like, here are three things to tell Lea. You tell her she listens to you. 

[00:10:42] Chandler Stroud: That's great. I love it. So thanks for bringing that to life for everybody. How does a person know if they're ready for a reading or what type of reading to get?

[00:10:50] Lea Morgan: What type of reading to get is kind of known? I. That's the easiest part of this equation. Mm-hmm. Right. So like you knew. Yes. Like you didn't really, you know, you weren't Jones in to get a reading, but you were willing and open and on your journey, obviously, that we've heard about. People know, and they mainly know because mediumship is such a specific desire that you either have it or you don't.

[00:11:16] Right. You either have a desire to talk to someone who's deceased or you don't. It's kind of, you can't fake that. You can't manufacture it, you can't, you know, and it comes from a couple places. One is obviously deep grief, right? 

[00:11:27] Chandler Stroud: Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

[00:11:28] Lea Morgan: But the other one is just love and, and nostalgia. Like if people wanna talk to their grandparents, you know, they miss them.

[00:11:36] They haven't seen them since they were like 12, or, you know, they wanna know if their grandparents have seen their kids. You know, they wanna know. So it, it can come from a, a less charged place than deep grief. But then intuitive guidance just really literally comes from somebody sitting around going, what am I supposed to do right now?

[00:11:56] Like, I don't know what to do. And that's a very different feeling than I really want to hear from someone. 

[00:12:02] Chandler Stroud: Yes. 

[00:12:02] Lea Morgan: You know, I mean, you got it, but you didn't have that, or you know, you weren't coming in thinking, I really wanna hear from my grandmother. 

[00:12:08] Chandler Stroud: No, I, I absolutely did not. I mean, I thought maybe someone would show, but yeah, I really was just looking, like you said, I'm, I am so good at just dropping within and kind of intuiting what the right answer is, but I.

[00:12:23] Last fall with our home, there was just so much happening. It was like a big disaster. And then we would clean it up and it would happen again, and I would clean it up and I'm like, what am I being told? Like, what am I not picking up on here? And that's where I really wanted the extra layer of insight to understand what was going on.

[00:12:41] Lea Morgan: I think maybe the more important aspect of this to focus on is how to know you're not ready. I encountered this like, you know, you learn through doing in life and I used to offer gift certificates on my site 'cause it seemed like a normal thing to do and I'm sure many people still offer them. But what I found was that it's such an intimate experience that the desire had to come directly from.

[00:13:06] My client and the action needed to come from my client, like they needed to take the time to sit down and sign themselves up. So what happens is it's, it's a lovely intention. What happens is someone has a reading and it's so meaningful to them and so surprising and so clarifying, and with so much proof that they want other people to feel the same way.

[00:13:25] Right. Mm-hmm. Which is great. However, I, what, what I say to people on my site is it's much like having the best therapy experience you've ever had and then choosing the date time in person, your loved one will have a therapy session. 

[00:13:42] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:13:42] Lea Morgan: We just can't do that for each other. Right. What it resulted in, I found kind of get to get back to when you're not ready, is people who felt pressured.

[00:13:52] To have a reading when they probably weren't ready. You know, because if you think about it, the givers so excited. They're so well-meaning they keep asking, have you had your reading yet? Have you had your reading yet? 

[00:14:02] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. You 

[00:14:03] Lea Morgan: know, and then the person with the gift certificate's, like I don't know. You know, so it just was.

[00:14:10] Just, it just wasn't an energy that I wanted to perpetuate. So I offer them, but only with very, like if you have to EI make it a lot harder. You have to And not harder to be harder. Harder to be well thought out, right? Yeah. You have to email me. We have to have a discussion about who it's for. We have to have a discussion if they know they're getting it or if they asked for it, or if they've asked.

[00:14:30] You know, if you have a reading with me and you tell someone and they go, oh, I wanna have a reading with her. Okay. 

[00:14:38] Chandler Stroud: Totally. 

[00:14:38] Lea Morgan: You know, that's a very different scenario, so I just, I, what I really feel like I wanna clarify is if you're not ready, that is exactly right for you. And if you never want one that is exactly right for you.

[00:14:54] It's like, it's like every type of exercise is not meant for everybody. Every type of healing is not meant for every human. So. It is or it isn't. Amen to that. Yeah. And even within the realm of getting a reading who you get a reading with is really important. I mean, I'm a big believer in no such thing as scarcity, so I'm hoping there's so many of us around that.

[00:15:18] We can't stand it. And then therefore each individual can find their right match. Much like a therapist, right? Or even like a personal trainer. Like if you don't have the person that matches you or delivers the type of information you're looking to get, it's just a mismatch. It's not anything wrong, it's just a mismatch.

[00:15:36] You know, there, there is a medium for every person who wants a reading and spirit will often, I think like it probably happened with you, nudge you in the direction of the one they've already found for you. 

[00:15:48] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. So it was a nudge and it was a great nudge. Look what's come of it. 

[00:15:55] Lea Morgan: I know there's a podcast.

[00:15:57] Chandler Stroud: I mean, I'm just, I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful. Just building on that, what are some common misconceptions people have about psychic readings? Would you say? 

[00:16:06] Lea Morgan: God, so many, right, so like the first one I think that is the most prevalent with people who don't have a lot of knowledge about it is things like, this is gonna sound like a movie, but it, this is so true.

[00:16:18] Like, why don't you get the lottery numbers? Stuff like that. Totally. Now I'll tell you why I don't get the lottery numbers. I know for sure why I don't get 'em. 

[00:16:25] Chandler Stroud: Please share 

[00:16:26] Lea Morgan: because this is a great example of what we want versus what our soul wants to do. Like I'm human right now. I would love to win the lottery.

[00:16:33] You know what would happen if I won the lottery? I wouldn't give readings. 

[00:16:37] Chandler Stroud: Hmm. 

[00:16:39] Lea Morgan: Because I would be like so busy renovating my house and traveling and, and listen. I might do a thing here and there 'cause I do feel like it's true to me. But I would not give readings like I do now. Right. Yeah. So there is an actual benefit to my spiritual journey to needing to earn a living.

[00:16:56] That doesn't mean I can't be abundant or I can't have loads of money. I don't wanna, you know, money is not evil, but, but what is provided to us is not. Meant to make us the most cozy and comfortable on the human plane. It's meant to allow us to walk the journey we wanted to walk, right? 

[00:17:17] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:17:18] Lea Morgan: So that's kind of a funny one, but I can't tell you, I mean, people who are really not in this world will say, well, well if you're any good, why don't you win the lottery?

[00:17:24] I'm like, I wish they would tell me the lottery numbers, you know? So things like that. It's not for my benefit, right? Like this ability is not so leak and. Have great things. Disability is so, Lea can participate with others in ways that spirit finds valuable and healing and meaningful. So that's a misinterpretation.

[00:17:45] Then for people who actually are think, you know, know, know a little bit more about this world. I feel like people innocently assume that the clarity of the communication is like right on. They assume that and I've had this reinforced by a intro to mediumship class. I take where I show images, how I see them in my mind.

[00:18:04] Cool. Because people, oh, we gotta do that at 

[00:18:06] Chandler Stroud: some point I wanna show that 

[00:18:07] Lea Morgan: we'll put 

[00:18:07] Chandler Stroud: it in the resources. 

[00:18:08] Lea Morgan: People believe that I see like, like the clearest photograph ever for as long as I wanna see it, and that's not accurate. I see. This is just me. I see backlit images of human form. In certain positions, which give me indications of mood or wellness or whatever, and I see them for a split second.

[00:18:31] And I can ask to see them again, but it's not at all as clear as you might think. And then the other, you know, the, the senses that I find most useful, Claire Cognizance and Claire Sentience, which is clear knowing and clear feeling are really things I have to translate because they're happening within me.

[00:18:47] So it's a much more, it is, I always tell my clients it's like a fancy game of charades. So that's like. Explaining to someone my, the communication I get is as clear as a charades game you play. And I feel like that's accurate because sometimes in charades, someone will do something and you will know instantly what they mean.

[00:19:08] And then a moment later, that same person will do something and you'll think, what are you doing? Like, what? What are you trying to get across to me? Yeah, so it's like that, it goes from like being right on the nose to being like really nebulous. It goes all around. And I also liken it to like throwing spaghetti at a wall, like spirit's probably giving me a lot of information at once and it what my mind latches onto.

[00:19:34] Are like the first two pieces of spaghetti that caught. 

[00:19:37] Chandler Stroud: Hmm. Okay. Love that. 

[00:19:40] Lea Morgan: I think there's so many, there's so many little caveats to this. I hope I remember to mention, and I'm gonna say this now, one of them is, remember how earlier I said, you know, there's a re there's a reader for everybody, right?

[00:19:50] Mm-hmm. For what you're looking for. 

[00:19:52] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:19:52] Lea Morgan: Well, one of the things I've found out by doing this for 10 years now, you do have a specialty. Much like a doctor, right? You got, there's foot doctors and eye doctors and ear doctors and heart doctors and, well, this is not the kind of thing where like you get a note one day that says you're gonna be a medium and here's your specialty.

[00:20:12] I kind of had to back into figuring it out. And what I figured out, and this is not gonna be the truth of all mediums, some mediums really are more just about like facts and confirmation and, you know, I don't know, maybe it could seem more fun. More and, and mine are love filled and there is a lot of humor.

[00:20:32] But I have found that the people drawn to me and the spirits drawn to me to get their people to come to me. 'cause I believe it happens that way are all really, really, really interested in healing and like the hard topics. So my readings are a lot more like therapy 

[00:20:47] Chandler Stroud: Okay. 

[00:20:48] Lea Morgan: Than they are like fun, if that makes sense.

[00:20:50] Right. Not that they're not fun. There really is so much humor. 'cause deceased people are so funny. But it, but it gets to the core of things. A lot of what they give me gets to the core of healing what each person needs. So I think a lot of people don't, maybe don't anticipate that unless they, I mean, you know, all of my readings are actually word of mouth, so they've probably heard from the person before them how it went.

[00:21:10] Mm-hmm. But it still surprises people. Right. Just like it surprises you when you, if you've ever been to a therapist and they immediately uncover the root of something. You know, it's, it's surprising to be seen, I guess. 

[00:21:22] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, right. Yeah. I think it's a really meaningful moment. 

[00:21:27] Lea Morgan: There's there also, you know, I think another really big misconception is that I'm, all of the work is happening with me.

[00:21:35] Someone might make a reading and think, oh, I'm gonna make a reading, and Lea's gonna do all the work. Well, I'm only one third of the equation, right? So Spirit is a third of the equation. I'm a third of the equation, and then the client is a third. Of the equation because what we're really doing is operating like an energy circuit.

[00:21:53] Chandler Stroud: Mm. Okay. 

[00:21:55] Lea Morgan: So you're not a passive observer in this experience. I want spirit to bring up the confirming information. What, what the client does is energetic, believe it or not. I mean, they can claim it verbally by saying, oh, I know who that is, or, yes, I know what they're talking about. But that happens energetically.

[00:22:14] Regardless of whether the words come out right, they feel it and hear it and get it, and that's what keeps the circuit going. It's kind of like throwing a ball. It's like spirit throws me a ball, I throw it to the client. 

[00:22:25] Chandler Stroud: Totally. 

[00:22:26] Lea Morgan: And when it works right, the client throws it back to spirit. I. Which is just like saying, oh, I see you, or I hear you, or, yes, that's you.

[00:22:33] And then what really can mess things up, which is why this is important, is when I spirit throws me the ball. I throw the ball, the person and the person holds the ball. And that can happen for a bunch of different reasons. And that that just kind of, you can imagine I'm just sitting there going, well throw the ball back to spirit so I can get the ball back.

[00:22:52] Like, 

[00:22:53] Chandler Stroud: yeah, 

[00:22:53] Lea Morgan: it really, it's like gears that just go stop. I. 

[00:22:59] Chandler Stroud: What causes that in The opposite 

[00:23:00] Lea Morgan: happens too, like when it gets really fast and really good. Oh, cool. What causes that? Yeah. Well, some indications that you're not ready for a reading number. One. One. What causes it is deep, deep, deep grief. You know, when somebody dies, there are a lot of people, understandably, who immediately want a reading.

[00:23:23] So in my guidelines. I don't wanna talk to anyone until it's been at least three months since their person has passed, and I wanna clarify. That's not for the deceased person. The deceased person is fine and probably sitting in the room with them right now. That is for the living person. What we don't either know or recognize is that when we experience grief, our energy signature actually changes.

[00:23:50] So, you know how they, everybody has an aura. Some people can see auras or you even see sometimes in they talk about this a lot with horses. Our hearts give off a, a frequency that can be felt a certain distance away from our body. That sort of thing. Yeah, I've heard this. So we're all giving off of signature vibration, right?

[00:24:07] That's around us. That's Unseeable. Sorry, I backed up 'cause I was doing a, doing something with my hands, but watch on 

[00:24:13] Chandler Stroud: YouTube. 

[00:24:14] Lea Morgan: I know I'm, I'm, I moved so much, but. When we're in deep grief as a kind of a, a survival of the fittest thing our body does without asking us is almost put like marshmallow around us.

[00:24:31] Hmm. I mean, it's not really marshmallow, but like energetically it's more like marshmallow. 

[00:24:35] Chandler Stroud: I'm loving these metaphors, analogies, visuals. They're great. 

[00:24:38] Lea Morgan: I don't know if this has happened to you, but like when my dad died, and you can notice this with your normal senses is what I'm about to tell you. When my dad died, I like couldn't hear anybody for like six months, like every time somebody said something to me and no matter what volume I'd be like, what I.

[00:24:52] What, or like things tasted different things didn't taste as taste e as they usually tasted. Or some people's like your vision's off like so your actual regular senses are affected by this marshmallow surround also. But what you're not thinking about, it's so are your, your sixth sense or your intuitive senses, it's meant to save you, protect you, put you in a bubble for a little while, right?

[00:25:17] So it's a beautiful intention, but it will impede. Connection or presence. In a moment in your life or in a reading. Also when you know, grief, just even just observational presence is kind of dimmed. I don't know if you've noticed that. 

[00:25:32] Chandler Stroud: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Way dim. 

[00:25:34] Lea Morgan: So that intended to help you. Right.

[00:25:37] Interesting. But what we, we need to do is recognize that it exists and let it help us. Which means don't try to break out of it. Just, it's like trying to heal you and like cushion you. For, and I can't say how long it's different for everybody. I just picked three months. 'cause it's kind of an average, it won't be long enough for some people, it might be longer than some other people need.

[00:25:55] It all depends on how great the loss is, right? And mm, all the details that I don't know about. Yeah. So if they come too soon, yes, that will happen. We'll, we'll have that marshmallow coating also, if, and I, I really literally cancel readings for this if someone is in a panicked state or any kind of high state of dysfunction or, no, dysregulation is the better word.

[00:26:20] Yeah. Okay. Like nervous system, deregulation if we're there. Same thing. It's like you don't have your bearings. It's like your compass is not calm in those moments. And so it's not the appropriate time to get input. Right. The body needs to, I'm not saying you need to have it worked out. Nobody has it worked out, but you can't be in like a crisis state.

[00:26:46] Right. So that's a bad time. And then also just people who aren't interested in it. You know, sincerely, if you're not interested in it, I absolutely believe that it's not meant to be part of your interest in this lifetime and that you are doing exactly what you need to be doing. Don't do it. 

[00:27:04] Chandler Stroud: I love that advice.

[00:27:05] That's, yeah. Part of the advice we give on the show, the reasons we talk about so many approaches to healing is so that you can find something that speaks to you since not all of them will, and I think it's really helpful when you can kind of listen to yourself and know. What's calling to you to try and what you are pretty confident is not for you.

[00:27:26] Yeah. So I think it's great that you're flagging that too. 

[00:27:29] Lea Morgan: Yeah. Don't do it. It, I mean, there's plenty of things I don't wanna do, so I don't do 'em. 

[00:27:34] Chandler Stroud: I love that. 

[00:27:35] Lea Morgan: Yeah, 

[00:27:35] Chandler Stroud: it's called Boundaries people. We have a whole episode on that, by the way, with Bonnie. Check it out.

[00:27:41] I'm still stuck on marshmallow 'cause I'm like, I'm still in a marshmallow layer. You're in a marshmallow. That's exactly, I'm so in a marshmallow layer, it's like I try to connect with other people. I try to, and like I'm okay being in a marshmallow la Like I feel that I'm very much inward right now, but like.

[00:27:57] Yeah, like social invitations, other things I'm sort of like, eh, like, 

[00:28:02] Lea Morgan: I don't know. Once somebody alerts you to it, I believe you can feel it. Like, can't you feel it now? Yeah, 

[00:28:06] Chandler Stroud: I can. It's insulation. I feel insulated right now. I really do. 

[00:28:11] Lea Morgan: That's exactly, that's exactly what it is. It's, it's, it's beautiful.

[00:28:14] It's a beautiful thing. Let's let it happen. 

[00:28:18] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, I'm okay with being insulated though. As I was saying at the top of the episode, I'm insulated. I've felt insulated, but I'm starting to feel ready to break out of the insulation and I know I need to break through as talked to do that, and so I'm really trying to go deep and ask the hard questions and figure out what I have not felt yet.

[00:28:38] To help kind of shed that, 

[00:28:39] Lea Morgan: you know, it's a living thing. So it will, it will, I mean, I don't know how to describe thinking about it, but it will either get to be a thinner layer or a more sheer layer. You know, it will change. It's changing all the time. It's not static. Okay. 

[00:28:53] Chandler Stroud: Helpful. You know, you'll 

[00:28:54] Lea Morgan: get an alert, you'll know.

[00:28:55] Thank 

[00:28:55] Chandler Stroud: you. 

[00:28:56] Lea Morgan: You're welcome. 

[00:28:57] Chandler Stroud: Well, now I'm, I'm on the lookout, everyone. I'm on the lookout for the alert when my installation fins sheds, all of the above. Oh. 

[00:29:05] Lea Morgan: I really 

[00:29:06] Chandler Stroud: believe that it's a very cool visual and I really, I think you're absolutely onto something with that. What kinds of questions or intentions should someone bring to a reading for the most clarity?

[00:29:17] Lea Morgan: Well, it is wonderful to have intentions. You know, here's what I always say about having readings. It is much like. A doctor's appointment and I'm in many ways, so like if you have a lot of things you've been thinking about that you feel like the doctor can give you clarity on, you're probably gonna go in there with a list.

[00:29:40] It doesn't mean you have to ask 'em, they may just tell you without you asking. That happens a lot in readings. 

[00:29:44] Chandler Stroud: Okay. 

[00:29:45] Lea Morgan: 'cause spirit knows what they, what's on their list. They can see their list. So a lot of times the list gets covered without the person asking. But also they, it, another way they're like doctor's appointments is, you know how sometimes you go to the doctor and it is so life-changing and meaningful 'cause you discover something that changes your wellness or changes your health in a way that.

[00:30:05] Oh my God. It's like mind blowing. And then other times you go to the doctor and they're like, you're great. Everything's great. 

[00:30:12] Chandler Stroud: Yes. 

[00:30:13] Lea Morgan: It's like that and everything in between, like Spirit is gonna meet you where you are that day, that you have that reading. So your needs on that day are gonna dictate exactly what comes through.

[00:30:25] So your intentions are very important. And they may or may not match what you receive, or they may match what you receive in a way you don't expect. And I have a story about this. There is a woman who came, this was so long ago, she was having an intuitive guidance reading. I. And her entire question revolved around her job.

[00:30:50] How could she get a new job? How could, how could she get a new job? How could she make more money? I was like, okay. So I listened, and the person I was speaking to, I don't remember who it was, it was a relative of hers, said, no, no, no, no. We're gonna talk about the house. And, and I said that, I said, okay, I don't understand this yet, but they wanna talk about your house.

[00:31:08] And so I tuned back in and the, the person I was speaking to and Spirit said she's asking about the job because she wants to move. And so what we, we might not realize that we are already halfway down the road. To a maybe good, maybe not good solution. And when they come to me, spirit's like, no, no, no.

[00:31:30] Let's go back to the initial issue. The initial issue is she's unhappy with the house, so we need to start there. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like, 

[00:31:40] Chandler Stroud: no, it does. She came 

[00:31:41] Lea Morgan: in thinking she was asking about your job, and I was like, no. They wanna talk about why you're so unhappy, where you're living. Like she really, but because what had happened is she didn't realize, oh, I've decided the answer to being unhappy to where I'm living is to get a new job.

[00:31:53] Chandler Stroud: Totally. 

[00:31:54] Lea Morgan: And they were like, hold up sister. Let's back up. So that happens a lot. 

[00:32:00] Chandler Stroud: Cool. That's really cool. They'll take me 

[00:32:02] Lea Morgan: to the original issue and if you're coming from a mediumship reading, it is really beneficial. I mean, they're probably gonna come anyway to kind of put out who you wanna hear from, you know, like, Hey, I'd love it if you came.

[00:32:14] I'd love it because what's fun about that? Some people do it, some don't. But Spirit can tell me in the reading, oh, she specifically asked for me. And I say that it doesn't happen every reading, but it'll happen. Or they'll say, this happens a lot. 'cause like I see someone, I, all my readings are on Zoom, so I see them like, I'm seeing you now.

[00:32:32] Right. So there's so much of your room that I can't see. Right? Mm. 

[00:32:36] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. So 

[00:32:37] Lea Morgan: they love to point out things either in front of you or that you're holding or that are in the room basically out of frame for me to prove they're in the room with you. Cool. So they'll say, I love, that'll say, they'll say funny things like ask her about that hat on the table in front of her.

[00:32:52] And I'll be like, okay. And the person of course will be like, oh my God, it's my grandfather's hat. I set it on this table. You can't see it. And I'm like, I know. 'cause he is in there with you. So not only can you ask things or think of things or write down questions, but you can have thing items with around you.

[00:33:08] Chandler Stroud: Very cool. That's very cool. How does a person's energy or mindset impact the accuracy or depth of a reading? 

[00:33:15] Lea Morgan: Incredibly. Remember earlier when I was talking about the electric circuit or throwing the ball? 

[00:33:20] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, that makes sense now. Okay. 

[00:33:22] Lea Morgan: I'm one third important spirit's, one third important client's, one third important.

[00:33:27] We're all like 33.33%. Mm-hmm. You know, amongst people who do what I do, we, we always say things like, listen, spirits. Spirit's always on. Those people have got their act together. They're at a hundred percent. I'm on as much as I can be. Right? Which for me is like lifestyle, sLeap, food, exercise, peace, regulated, nervous system.

[00:33:51] I'm human, so I'm not on nearly as well as spirit, but. You know, and, and I have bio rhythms so it will change, but I'm pretty good 'cause it's my job and I love it. The, the X factor is always the client. Many times, 'cause they don't know this, it's not 'cause they're not trying to be. Calm and prepared, you know, which is a another thing to tell you, like a way to really get prepared.

[00:34:14] 'cause spirit can hear your thoughts just as well as they can hear your spoken voice or read what you've written down so you can merely think things if you want, instead of be more formal about it. But bringing your, if you're the client, right, bringing your nervous system to as calm a place as you can get without.

[00:34:32] Outside interruption is really the most beneficial thing you can do. I, I can't tell you how many people I talk to in their closets. Really? Oh my God. Or their car. People who have kids, they'll be like, I am in my closet, like a walk-in closet. They're like, I'm in my closet. Right. I, I always see closet backgrounds and cars.

[00:34:48] Chandler Stroud: That's so funny. 

[00:34:50] Lea Morgan: And they'll be like, and this is a really great. Situation when they say, okay, I've been sitting here for 15 minutes, kind of like breathing or whatever their version is, praying or breathing or talking to somebody in spirit or writing things down or collecting myself like that. That's a really good prep right there.

[00:35:08] Chandler Stroud: Cool. I mean, you don't have to be in the 

[00:35:09] Lea Morgan: closet or the car, 

[00:35:10] Chandler Stroud: but 

[00:35:10] Lea Morgan: doing that 15 minute thing, but I get thing. I get that 

[00:35:12] Chandler Stroud: I do. Busy moms totally understand. Yeah, it's like that. Or the bathroom. Except the bathroom echoes so. 

[00:35:17] Lea Morgan: Hey, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Matters for a podcast does not matter for a mediumship reading.

[00:35:22] Chandler Stroud: Okay, that's actually fair. I mean, I did so much research on podcasting when I started and so many people were like, record from your closet. The sound quality is. So 

[00:35:34] Lea Morgan: people love a closet. 

[00:35:35] Chandler Stroud: They know they love a closet. Also, 

[00:35:36] Lea Morgan: people tend to feel chilled out in their closet. 

[00:35:39] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, 

[00:35:39] Lea Morgan: I get it. Which is great.

[00:35:40] Anything that makes you feel good, a room that Yeah, definitely. I mean, and also in all of this, I like to point out that just FYI in the world, a skeptic is very different than a denialist. You know, I feel like we use the word skeptic incorrectly, and I've met both, right? 

[00:35:59] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:36:00] Lea Morgan: And I'm not here to change anybody.

[00:36:01] I want everybody to be who they are and believe what they wanna believe and do what they wanna do. But a skeptic is someone who doubts, but takes evidence as proof. Right? It's like a, a scientist, someone who's like, I don't really, and a skeptic's even a step further than, I mean, a scientist may have a hypothesis, so this skeptic may be like, I really don't think this is real.

[00:36:22] I. However I'm open to evidence. 

[00:36:26] Chandler Stroud: Yes. 

[00:36:27] Lea Morgan: Which is great. You know that's a great, that's a very reasonable way to be. 

[00:36:31] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:36:31] Lea Morgan: What's different, and I have had clients like this is a denialist, which is someone who has decided, Hmm. That the evidence won't change their mind. Or that it's not good enough. And really, I mainly hate that.

[00:36:49] First of all, they certainly don't need to get a reading and, but if they do, what I hate it for is them because they don't get the benefit of knowing how many people in spirit love them. 

[00:36:59] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:37:00] Lea Morgan: It's not about me. Now, hopefully they have some other outlet where they have that. They feel that either in a religion or a spiritual practice or memories or.

[00:37:09] I don't know, heirlooms. I mean, I hope they feel the connection some way. It's just very different. 

[00:37:15] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, I would imagine. I can see how, Lea, are there any practices or tips that you would give someone who wants to get the most out of their reading? Is there something they could do for a few minutes before it begins, for example, to get them in the right head space?

[00:37:30] Lea Morgan: Yes, and I say this, you know, there's a confirmation email that goes out when you make a. Book a reading with me and it says this. It says, you know, please be in a calm, quiet space with no interruptions and to do this if as much as you can, you know, at least 15 minutes before your reading starts. It's just kind of calming your own nervous system, getting everything kind of to drop down to like neutral.

[00:37:57] It does make the energetic in interaction easier. 

[00:38:03] Chandler Stroud: Okay. That's helpful to know. Just, you know, for anyone who's really excited about it and wanting to make the most of it, what should people avoid doing during a reading that could block the flow of information? 

[00:38:15] Lea Morgan: Well, so many things. I mean, the number one, which is actually just a, a no go for me is anyone who's been drinking or using drugs, I will not read for 

[00:38:24] Chandler Stroud: Understandable.

[00:38:25] Lea Morgan: That is that also, and this is, this kind of goes back to knowing yourself in our last episode. There are lovely people who are in deep grief whose grief response somehow creates a way to communicate with the outside world. That is very curt. And I'll give you an example. I certainly don't want anyone in a reading to ever agree with something I've said that doesn't ring true to them.

[00:38:58] Never. In fact, the truth is all that matters because I can kind of go back in and figure out how did I misinterpret that? Did I translate in a way that doesn't make sense to what I got? Like what can I do? And, and so I always go back to client, I mean, to spirit. And what's what's interesting is they usually stick with it.

[00:39:11] And so I realize, oh, it's the client that's not understanding. And it's fine if they don't understand, but like charades, you know, we may need to think kind of around a 360. We may need to think more broadly or whatever. So if that happens, if someone doesn't understand. What is a really reasonable response is I'm not understanding that, or that's not connecting for me, or, I don't know what that means when I say that energetically.

[00:39:36] How does that feel to you? Just 

[00:39:38] Chandler Stroud: fine. 

[00:39:39] Lea Morgan: Yeah. Okay. So the other response I can get, which I don't think is intentional, I feel like it's the person's defense mechanism in grief, right? Is I'll say something and they'll go, Nope. And then I'll go, well, do you think? Nope. Okay. Maybe I said, Nope. How does it feel when I say that?

[00:39:57] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, totally different. It's a completely different experience. Like, 

[00:40:00] Lea Morgan: okay, 

[00:40:01] Chandler Stroud: well I'm just gonna shut down over here. That's like, 

[00:40:04] Lea Morgan: well, yeah. I mean, I don't know what to do with that. 

[00:40:06] Chandler Stroud: Right. Yeah. That's hard 

[00:40:08] Lea Morgan: and, and it is. I know this is a really loaded moment as far as like how vulnerable it is and how painful people might feel about things when they're in their reading.

[00:40:21] But even think of it like. Charades. Like if you're playing charades, I mean, this is not, this is not isolated to me, this is to all humans. If you're playing charades with someone and every time you guess something, they go, no. I mean, how does that go? 

[00:40:36] Chandler Stroud: You're like, okay, fine. It's, 

[00:40:37] Lea Morgan: it's, forget it, you're drawing or whatever.

[00:40:39] Just forget. 

[00:40:40] Chandler Stroud: It's Pictionary. That's Pictionary. 

[00:40:41] Lea Morgan: It's what you're doing, not me. So I always say like honesty. You know, that's why this calmness helps, like, and knowing yourself helps, like calm, honesty is vital, but honesty doesn't have to be curt. 

[00:40:53] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, right. No, I agree. I agree with that. I. 

[00:40:57] Lea Morgan: Nine outta 10 times.

[00:40:58] It's actually something that is proven to make sense once we work through that. It just didn't make sense in the way they thought it was gonna 

[00:41:05] Chandler Stroud: make sense. I'm laughing because it's so funny. There is a part of my reading, 'cause I've listened to the recording a few times after where you're talking to my grandmother, but it was in the context of my life, like my immediate family, and you're like, I just, I'm seeing three girls, three girls, and I'm like, no.

[00:41:22] It's like it's me, it's my brother. My sister and then I have two kids, a boy and a girl, like there aren't three girls. And I like kicked myself literally after the reading because my mom. My grandmother's daughter is one of three girls and I was like, Chandler, how did you miss that? Like 

[00:41:42] Lea Morgan: really? It's so normal.

[00:41:45] There is a sort of a deer in headlights effect when you're having a reading. Yeah. And no one on the planet can remember all the things in the moment, which is why I really encourage recording or taking notes. Mm-hmm. Especially things we don't understand. Totally. I can't tell you how many people. Email me back after a reading about things they didn't understand that they either asked their parent or asked somebody about or researched and are like, oh my gosh, it totally makes sense now.

[00:42:09] Or they remembered later, which is why in my job, you cannot be codependent. I have to be willing. I have to be willing to be like, I know you don't understand it, and I know we have not figured it out, and yet I got to tell you, this is what I'm getting. Please note it. 

[00:42:22] Chandler Stroud: Yes. 

[00:42:22] Lea Morgan: You know that's, I even had one dis deceased aunt.

[00:42:26] I was speaking to a woman and we were talking to her deceased aunt. And she said something like, God, can you believe my aunt lived to be 93? And in my head I heard 94. And I go, oh, she says she's 94. She goes, no, she was 93. I go, and I heard 94. And I go, oh. She says she's 94. And she goes, no, she's 93. And I go, okay, listen, I don't know how old she is.

[00:42:48] Just write down nine four. And I got an email from that woman the next day. 'cause it was her mom's sister. Yeah. She goes, oh my God. She was 94 when she died. I was wrong. So funny. So I'm not about being right. I'm about you having what they say. So, 'cause they don't just agree with people to agree with people.

[00:43:07] Right, right. You know, they, you know, so, so many things like that happened. So just, 

[00:43:12] Chandler Stroud: oh, love 

[00:43:13] Lea Morgan: that. Note down things you don't understand. I, 

[00:43:16] Chandler Stroud: that's the best advice you could possibly give, I think. And I've, I've experienced that myself with you, so I was really glad I had done that. I love having the recording.

[00:43:24] For what it's worth, I have listened to it multiple times. Good. Yeah, that was really great. If someone doesn't hear what they were hoping to hear in a reading, how can they process that experience and information in a healthy way? 

[00:43:36] Lea Morgan: This is such an important question because especially people who haven't had readings will say things to themselves, and this is just a, I'm telling you, this is a setup for a fall.

[00:43:46] They will, and I'll find out later, and I'll tell you how, I'll find out. They, they'll say things to themselves like. Okay, I'm going, and I don't really know what I think about this, but if I hear the word banana, I'll believe it's true and they'll come to their reading or it'll be something like that. Or if my dad brings up shooting star or if my mom says something about flip flops, it, it's always some really random thing, which is fine.

[00:44:10] Okay. Please don't do that to yourself. Even if you just Google how to get ready for a psychic reading, almost everyone says, don't your, don't set yourself up for this fall. Right. Listen, sometimes it works because I get it. I get the thing in the reading and the person's like, oh my God, that's the thing I said I needed to hear to believe it.

[00:44:27] And it's always some crazy random thing, and I'll be like, oh, thank God. You know, because I had also said a bunch of other really important confirming things other than that, and I just don't wanna throw the baby out with the bath water, you know? 

[00:44:40] Chandler Stroud: But here's your banana anyway, but here's your 

[00:44:42] Lea Morgan: banana. And then other people will get to the end of the reading and I'll be like, do you have any other questions?

[00:44:47] They're like, well, I was really hoping to hear one thing, and I'll think, oh. Oh no. Because the odds of, so I'm human, right? Yeah. So that puts a whole nother layer of like, oh no on it. Well, there's so 

[00:44:59] Chandler Stroud: much spaghetti on the ground, 

[00:45:00] Lea Morgan: right? Going back to the metaphor, right, the spaghetti on the wall. Yeah. So I'm like, I'm, so, I always try to explain to them, I'm sure they know what you're talking about, but them getting it to me is a whole different thing, right?

[00:45:11] Yeah. It could be something they've put in front of my face and I just ignored, 'cause something else caught my eye, right? 

[00:45:15] Chandler Stroud: Mm-hmm. 

[00:45:16] Lea Morgan: So I would just not. I would try not to do that. I mean, I love it when it accidentally, well, it happens before they say anything. That's great. But here's what I say. And kind of like the lady who was looking for a job stuff and got house stuff, which did relate to what she needed, but just keep in mind that spirit's always gonna give you exactly what you need.

[00:45:37] And I hope that lines up with what you want, but I can't guarantee you it's gonna line up with what you want. I can guarantee you it's gonna line up with what you need. I mean, I've had, I've had people come in wanting to talk about all kinds of things, and you'll understand this being on this healing journey, all kinds of things, except the one thing they need help with.

[00:45:56] And their person on the other side will be like, okay, great, yeah, we'll answer all these questions, but here's the real problem, and it'll be something totally different. 

[00:46:04] Chandler Stroud: Interesting. 

[00:46:05] Lea Morgan: It happens a lot. One that's coming to mind for some reason is like, someone will wanna come in and know all about their kids, how to help their kids and do this and that, and the, their parents will show up and be like, we can't even talk about that till we get your health under control.

[00:46:19] You're ignoring yourself. So it'll be something like that, you know? Like, we love your kids, they're our grandkids, but whoa. Like, if we're so worried about your kids, then we've got to get you healthy. They are the boss of what comes through. Hmm. And it's for, it's always for your best interests, you know?

[00:46:39] Chandler Stroud: I love it. Yeah. I mean, 

[00:46:40] Lea Morgan: if I remember correctly, you wanted to know about your house, which is great. I think they told you some stuff, but I think more importantly, what they told you was about your work. 

[00:46:48] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, it's so true. I was like, I'm here for the house and think, and the reading had nothing to do with the house.

[00:46:54] And then you said, do you have any questions? So I asked the question at the end, which was an important question because at that point I was like, do we move? Like is it, is the house telling us to go? Yeah. And no, I got the answer I needed in that reading and we're now renovating to fix the floors and all the stuff that happened, which is great.

[00:47:11] But no, it, it really, the reading was focused at the time on my dad actually. I was not expecting that to come through, but it was focused on my dad and how I could support him better. So that was helpful. And then the other piece was work, because obviously I had felt a little stuck and I didn't.

[00:47:29] Think it was as much of a priority necessarily as obviously my spirit guides did. But yeah, they really pushed me over the edge with the podcast thing. 

[00:47:38] Lea Morgan: Yeah, so they're just, think about it. They're looking at us like, okay, here's Chandler in the world. I know her desired journey. I know where, where she's going.

[00:47:46] I know the timelines that affect this outside of her journey. She wants to know about her house. Yeah. We'll entertain that. But here's the important thing. We gotta talk to her about her dad and work. 'cause we know her dad's time is probably more limited than she might know and they won't reveal that 'cause that's not helpful.

[00:48:00] Instead, you know, then we also gotta focus on work. 'cause this is a prime zone for her to do this. Right. It's like they know the most optimistic zone. So they knew the priorities time-wise. 

[00:48:12] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. 

[00:48:13] Lea Morgan: You know, and in and in life. Like that's kind of how it went down. 

[00:48:17] Chandler Stroud: Yep. 

[00:48:18] Lea Morgan: You know? Yeah, 

[00:48:19] Chandler Stroud: that's exactly how it went down.

[00:48:21] So I would say, and actually they did provide a lot of clarity on the work. 'cause the work thing was something I was already considering, but they really took it over the finish line for me and. Reminding me that like the, basically to focus on women, which was my passion all along. And I just needed to hear that reinforced because it was just a, it was a big unlock.

[00:48:42] It was like, I heard that and everything fell into place and I knew what I wanted to go do, but I just needed permission to do that in a way. Yeah. 

[00:48:51] Lea Morgan: So just go with the flow, like being willing to go with the flow. Knowing that it's, you know, have faith. Faith. There you go. 

[00:48:57] Chandler Stroud: Faith so much. Faith. Yeah. It's the best thing.

[00:49:02] It really is. What should somebody do either during or after a reading to integrate the messages they received? 

[00:49:09] Lea Morgan: Okay. I'm gonna back this up a little bit and start with in the reading, okay? 

[00:49:13] Chandler Stroud: Okay. Okay. 

[00:49:14] Lea Morgan: And then I'm, I'm gonna cover what you asked, and I'm telling you this because I have become amazed at how conditioned we are to apologize for being emotional.

[00:49:25] And I feel like it's important for me to mention that emotion is vital to cleansing and healing, allowing emotion. So if you are in a reading, first of all, if you're in a reading and you start crying and you apologize, don't worry. You're awesome. I'll tell you that in the reading. But you're allowed to cry and.

[00:49:47] Know that crying is not crying means so many things that we don't give it credit for. It means like releasing, it means relief. It means connection. It means purging. It means sometimes it's just what my body does when it connects with a soul and spiritual vibration. My bo, my human body doesn't know what to do other than shed tears.

[00:50:08] It's so powerful, right? So I would start within the reading. Just allow yourself to feel right. It's a safe space and it's healthy. And, and I'm not just gonna limit that to crying. If you're mad about something, like whatever, it doesn't matter. Yeah, something's hilarious. Laugh, you know? And then afterwards keep allowing that, right?

[00:50:27] Like keep allowing your body to tell you what it needs. Some people get off and just laugh hysterically. Some cry, some need to take a nap. Some are really thirsty. Some people sLeap better that night. Some people sLeap more lightly. There's no wrong answer. You, it's like your body knows how to integrate this experience.

[00:50:45] So my suggestion is let it and listen to what it asks of you Do you know what I mean? 

[00:50:52] Chandler Stroud: I do. It's such great advice. It really is. 

[00:50:56] Lea Morgan: Yeah. And I wanna say one more thing I just thought of by no, even people who want to get a reading. You know how earlier we were talking about there's somebody for everybody you know?

[00:51:05] Chandler Stroud: Mm-hmm. 

[00:51:06] Lea Morgan: You by no means need to get a reading with me. You know? I want everyone to get a reading with their right person, and I have found that your right person is gonna come most likely from a first person referral or suggestion from another human, because spirit's probably in on that. Right. Cool. 

[00:51:24] Chandler Stroud: Yeah.

[00:51:25] Lea Morgan: And if that's not happened to you and you're still interested in a reading, I would. Go to great lengths to try to see if you can find video or audio of the person you're interested in getting a reading from. Because hearing them speak, hearing the way they speak or the way they deliver things or the way they interpret.

[00:51:44] 'cause translation is like make is really what makes us all different. We translate differently. You'll know if you relate. To, to the way they're doing it or not. Do you know what I mean? I do. Or if you're like, oh, I wanna talk to them, or, oh, I don't really wanna talk to them. It doesn't make anybody right or wrong.

[00:51:58] We're not trying to wrong anybody. We're just saying, where's your fit? 

[00:52:01] Chandler Stroud: Yeah. You know, that makes sense. You know who 

[00:52:03] Lea Morgan: speaks in a way that you go, oh, I want to, I wanna hear that person speak to me. You know? 

[00:52:09] Chandler Stroud: Totally. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I think that's really, really great advice. 

[00:52:13] Lea Morgan: Chandler, every, almost everybody in the world gets on a reading with me and gets, starts to cry and apologizes.

[00:52:20] Chandler Stroud: I would do the same thing and I'm pro crying and I would still apologize to you because it's like such, and we wonder, second nature, 

[00:52:27] Lea Morgan: we wonder how conditioned we are. 

[00:52:29] Chandler Stroud: Yeah, it's so true. It's so true. I'm really glad you said that, Lea. Lea, thank you so much for being here. This was such a helpful conversation.

[00:52:39] I learned so much and I know our listeners did too. And if you are considering a psychic reading, I personally cannot recommend Lea highly enough. But as she said, do your research, try and get tapes, find the best fit for you, and now you know how to prepare for this important conversation. So I hope you enjoy it.

[00:53:01] If you do, decide to go and get one for yourself. Lea, thank you again. 

[00:53:07] Lea Morgan: Thank you.
