When I started A Psychic Story in 2019, I didn't put any ads on the podcast. On occasion, I would feature my book looking for angels and events I was attending. But now one of my goals is to evolve this endeavor into a full-time passion. You heard it here first. I'd love to be able to do more episodes, grow the show, add a team, and eventually even revisit my other two podcasts, A Psychic Story Kids Edition and Supernatural Matters. And so in order to pay for this, I am turning on ads.

This is a critical piece in being able to continue to do this work, to be in service and create community among us. Oh, and if you want uninterrupted episodes, head over to Patreon to get those not only ad-free, but early each week. Thank you so much for understanding as we move into this new phase of a psychic story together.

A sought-after public speaker, she has been featured in Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and has appeared on CNN, the BBC, and Good Morning America, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The List Goes On, and many more.

This is the story of Laura Day. Welcome to A Psychic Story, Laura. Thank you for having me. Well, I am thrilled to be able to talk with you. We're going to talk about Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future, which is one of your latest upcoming books. But first, I would love to hear from you. What does psychic mean to you?

So we all have an awareness of this moment in space and time, what we call the now. And actually that awareness we have to work on through mindfulness, which is very, very big the last few years. Mindfulness means, again, just being present in the here and now.

Whereas psychic, and I think that's such a great first question because psychic has actually no real meaning. It is so individual. But psychic for me is everybody's innate ability to experience not only different points in space and time, different points of view, but also different realities completely. And I think that actually we're present in

at this point in space time, in the now, only a little bit. And in a sense, being aware that you are having real conversations, that those conversations in your head are actually being heard, that you are remote viewing or astral projecting while thinking your power is in the present, which it's not. It's actually partially somewhere else.

Being in different time zones, also not realizing sometimes that you not only can feel compassion for someone else, but you can actually be somebody else. And that can be super confusing, also super useful. So non-local perception is my translation of the word compassion.

And I think that's such a great first question because psychic means so many weird, not useful, and often kind of judgment-y, judgy things that are just not what it is. It's a simple human ability. Thank you for that because that's exactly why I did the podcast, A Psychic Story, because of the myths, misconceptions, and actually in preparing for our conversation, I

I started to write out, you know, psychic, intuitive, intuitive abilities. And I realized there's not a word for intuition and intuitive like there is psychic. You know, I was almost wanting to do psychicness or psychical or something. I know people use them in different terms. But anyway, it just stands out because I hadn't thought about it in six plus years. And then you come with the explanation that you just did about what psychic means to you and your perspective. And that really stands out.

And, you know, what I call myself in work is practicing intuitive because everybody is an intuitive. And because we don't properly train our intuition, often it works against us, not for us. But a practicing intuitive is someone who has committed themselves to refining this part of them, just like a practicing artist has committed themselves to using that gift in the world.

So a practicing intuitive is what I call myself because this is what I do, you know, for as a practice. And I refine it and I spend time doing it and I spend time verifying it and troubleshooting it. So I love practicing intuitive if you're looking for a thing.

And before you became a practicing intuitive, what was your first either psychic or intuitive experience? Was it when you were younger as you were? Because you mentioned that we all have these abilities. What was your first? So I don't experience my ability as separate from myself. I mean, my first experience

that everyone didn't experience the world the way I did was when I saw in my early 20s a science show about experiments that were being done on people with unique disabilities.

brains like mine that are way, way, way too intuitive. And I was, I offered myself as a test subject, which was very, very grounding for me because, you know, the experience of hearing conversations that were actually happening and then continuing them when I met the person or predicting events, which does not make you super popular at a third grade lunch table. Or super popular when you become a teenager.

- You know, interestingly, my experience as a teenager

It did give me context because I became a helper. I didn't identify it as intuitive, but I knew what was going on with people. And I was able to offer support way above my pay grade because of intuition. I always tell people, you know, my husband's a former journalist and a screenwriter and a TV writer and an intellectual. And I always tell people, listen, he's who you want at your dinner party. I'm who

in your crisis. Intuition doesn't impart wisdom. It's data. It's just information. Wisdom is what you do with it. I don't know that I have an enormous amount of wisdom. I think that's more my husband's purview, but I can find the data. I can find the information you need to use your own wisdom to solve the problem. So I was aware when I became a very sought-after

test subject for all of these universities and places that in the early 80s were really looking to see how can we use this. I mean, I think probably most of it was military funded, but it wasn't advertised that way. Looking back though now, realizing with maturity how other people

perceive the world and how I did as a child, I never got a chance really to develop a sense of self because I was always merged with everything around me, always in the wrong time zone. And neurologically, I'm what you would call very special needs. I actually had a new full neuropsych evaluation because I thought they are going to think

I'm nuts and demented at my age. So I actually had a new one done that I carry on my phone because often it's as easy for me to be in the future as it is for me to be in the past. It's as easy for me to be in your future as it is for me to be, you know, in the present. And so, you know, I experienced that it was useful for the first time in my 20s and that it was different.

And what is it like now when you said that you it's just as easy for you to be in the past and the future? Well, what is that like then for you in the present? So when you're you're here and now, but then you have this experience in the future, for example, what is that like? How do you experience that?

We all are our own worst psychics. So I am not great at reading myself because I have my hopes, my fears, my damage, my gifts,

my, you know, thoughts, my own, my own prism, my own patterns. But a simple example, and I'm so lucky to have, you know, my husband, when I met him, I wasn't aware there was an internet when I met him. So I wasn't actually knew what I did. So I kind of never really talk about it. I always say, well, I'm a writer. At that point, I'd written six books.

Luckily, he has adapted to living with me. But for example, yesterday, he's sitting in his chair working, I'm sitting in my chair working. And I say, you know, where's Czechoslovakia? And he looks at me and he said, Oh, my God, I was literally just writing about Czechoslovakia. It

it still sets them off a little how porous our, our, my reality is. Or he went to the theater last night with a friend of his who had called me with an issue. And I said, I went into the person she was having the issue with. And I said, they didn't mean that you're taking it the wrong way and it'll resolve in a couple of weeks. You know, she said, tell her, thank you. It happened just the way she said for me,

I'm not making any shift in order to do this. This is my reality. So what I'm not good at is kind of listening to what people are saying. I'm really working on that. I'm not good at being aware of my actual immediate environment. So, you know, I can go through a museum, walk out of it and totally be unaware of what I've seen because I've been in too many other places. So my experience of being alive is somewhat downright

damaged. And that's something that I work on a lot. And I'm often out of sync. So I'm working on some future reality, but actually the present needs attention. And since I've learned how to do that, and I put a lot of work in learning how to do that, I always tell my students, y'all are good at what I can't do, and I'm good at what you want to learn. But since I've learned

to use these abilities in the present. My life has transformed. My body has transformed. My health has transformed. My relationships have transformed. And that's really what the new book is. We're mechanical beings in a mechanical world. That doesn't make us any less spiritual, but they're

certain rules that we need to engage in order to thrive. And I've worked so hard on learning those rules. Well, and let's talk about that. That's a good transition too. What is the prism? Because you mentioned it a little bit before. That's also the start of the title of your book, The Prism, Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future. But what is the prism?

The prism is the structure of a human being. And the ego is much maligned. But the ego, you're born without one. You're born with certain genetics that create a structure for you, but without any discernible eye.

And the ego is everything. I love, I believe, I wish, I give. The beauty of being an individual is all in the ego. And everything has an ego. So a relationship has a prism, has a structure of its own. It has a foundation. It has a way it nourishes and creates.

So the prism is that structure. And I think that, you know, I differentiate between many of my books. Some of my books I write because they're based on my experience, like the whole Practical Intuition series was based on, I basically stole all the tests that were done on me and adapted them into training exercises for other people. And there are a couple of my books that

that came through me that are intuitive downloads, so to speak. And they came through me to help me. They came through me when I was about to encounter life events that would have probably crushed me had I not had these tools. The Circle was the first one that came through

through me. And it was in a language that I hated, this very soft, I mean, I literally couldn't even read it, but I used the process in my life religiously and it transformed my life.

The prism was, hey, wait a second. You may not be aware of this, Laura Day, but as a child, the reason that you survived is we gave you these mechanics. We gave you like Lego instructions on how to put together a world, not to how to experience it because that's a human thing.

How the structure works, because that is an intuitive thing. The prism is a structure of anything. It is how you as a human being can transform yourself, your life and relationships, but also how a business is structured and how you can interface with that, how you can notice how someone else is structured and interact with them.

Because we are spiritual beings, but we are mechanical beings. You know, if you believe in spirits, spirits everywhere, spirits everything. Spirit is just energy.

We are what creates from that energy and the mechanism for that creation is our ego, is our structure, is our prism. So then what are, or I guess I should say, what does it truly mean to heal your past? Because that's the next thing you talk about, steps to heal your past and transform your future. So what does that mean to heal your past? So, you know, I get all my important information from Instagram like everybody else. And there's so much on, you know, find your trauma.

But if you do anything new, when you have a new goal, or when you have a goal you haven't achieved but has become important, like you've never had a wonderful relationship, but now you want one, or you've never had an abundance of money, but now you want that, believe me, if you set a goal and you work toward it, you will meet your trauma. You don't have to look for it. You transform your past

by creating your future. Because I think you can get lost in the past. And there's that expression, think outside the box, but you can't. You are the box. Your ego is formed between conception and age seven, and you just keep replaying your patterns, dressing them up differently, which is why I love

self-help. I love my category because what my category does is say, hey, try this. See if it works. And then when it does work, your subconscious, the part of you you don't have control over or even know that much about gets on board. And then all of a sudden your life changes because

I find, you know, people spend years and years working on their pain or their illnesses or their depression. I find getting what you want is often the right medicine.

So it's a book about getting what you want. And in order to do that, those old patterns come up and those old patterns were given to you by your genetics, by your caretakers. You know, when I was young and I went to a math and science school called Stuyvesant in New York City.

And when I was young, the idea was your genetics were hardwired. You couldn't change them. I never experienced that. And now epigenetics is showing us, oh, no, actually, your behavior, your belief, your food, the climate, all kinds of things, not only changes your genetics, but changes the future generations. It's a perfect.

So you're always recreating yourself. You're always recreating your life. And I think we get very identified with trauma. I'm an adult survivor. I am. I'm an adult survivor of abuse. I'm an adult survivor of rape. I'm an adult survivor of my mother was an addict. I'm an adult survivor of a lot of things.

I think it was life-saving of me not to be in denial about those things, but to identify with the survivor part because you've got to be the hero of your own hero's journey. Yes. So many truth bombs that you just shared with all of that. The question that was standing out to me is what if someone doesn't know what they want?

You know what you do in the moment? In the moment, you want to do a good interview. And maybe you have another agenda as well. We magicalize. We get very esoteric.

about very grounded things. If you don't know what you want, what do you want now? You want an avocado? You want a massage? You want to do a little work on your project? What do you want now? Because when you start opening those receptors, people who don't know what they want, often as children, we're not allowed to want at all. And so there you meet your first trauma. And

And the way to deal with it isn't to think, oh, where was I traumatized and what do I want? It's right now, what do I want?

You know, I was really looking forward to this interview. I wanted that in the moment. So opening your receptors, there's a wonderful woman now deceased named Candice Pert who discovered the opioid receptor. And what she found was we find experience loops biochemically and we repeat them. So that really important question of what do I want now, you'll notice, oh, maybe that

doesn't fit anymore. Like, oh, wow, I want that? Like, my husband is a sweet junkie. He wants an apple turnover for breakfast, but it makes him feel sick. So what he really wants is a good breakfast that's going to give him vitality for the day.

You reform all of those things in the living. But when anyone says to me, oh, I don't have a goal, I think then you don't have a structure. And so where you begin is step one. And the way your prism is formed is

is your caretakers in genetics gave you your first power at each part of the prism. And the prism follows the chakras because endocrinologically, that's how you developed. It's your glandular system and your hormonal system and your, you know, all of those wonderful developmental things actually have a structural meaning and use. But when someone says, I don't want anything, I don't have any goals, I think, ooh, then

You gave up really early, before age seven. You don't have any structure. You were denied that receptor. So the first thing we need to work on is right now, what do you want? Do you want to change position in your chair? Do you want a sip of water? Let's open that receptor because then that turns into...

I want an amazing partner. I want a great job. I want an award-winning career. I want to feel great in my bot. Then when that want receptor opens, your life opens up.

And that is the point of the prism. A lot of your receptors were shut down before they were formed. And they do require that you adult yourself now. But in a loving, supportive way. We're all great at beating ourselves up as adults, you know.

I go on Instagram every morning and as a group, we work on together as healers. We work on each other because of course, working on yourself is hard. You don't see what you don't see. You find what you're looking for. And all of that was patterned before age seven.

So working with a group or working with a new system, just trying it out, whether or not you believe in it, as long as it's safe. But working with a new system, you do a tiny thing, it transforms you. The

The proof is in your life. How you feel is subjective and it's not a really good indicator. Your beliefs and feelings are not good indicators of very much. What you achieve when you make a change, who comes in, what opportunities come out of left field. People love this word, what you manifest. That is objective and that is a really good indicator that you are using a system correctly.

Yeah, you said so many great things. And what was sticking out to me too is because a lot of listeners will email me or reach out. And the reason I asked that question is that a lot of people are feeling stuck right now. And it can feel really overwhelming when you're trying to look to the future. What's my purpose? What's the big questions? But what you say is there's the very real reality of this moment.

And how can, what do you desire in that moment? Because it can be these small, I say small in air quotes, incremental changes, but those steps can have a very big impact on the next step forward. It's creating action.

And it's not just what you want. I mean, I don't want to do my taxes, but I do them, which is first ego center, the foundation of the prism, which is discipline and foundation and safety. So it's not just what you want. What are the tasks in front of you? I don't want to do my dishes, but I like a clean kitchen.

I don't want to iron my pajamas and I often hire somebody to do that. But when there's no one to do that, I iron my pajamas because I want to get into iron pajamas.

Part of having kind of overarching goals, it's the same thing as people who save the whales, but they don't bring their neighbor who just got out of their hospital a covered dish to have in their refrigerator. When you put something, there are four time zones, and this is in the book, but there's the past, really easy to deal with because you can't do anything about it. So we all spend a lot of time in the past because that's other people's problems and we're the victim of it and we can't do anything about it.

The future, because we also can't do anything about it. The non-local, what this person's thinking, what they're doing, what they said, because it also doesn't require much on our part. The present, however, is a real pain in the butt.

Present says right now, what do you need to do? What do you want? What are you creating? What are you thinking? Who do you need to stop telepathically dialoguing with in your head to be able to have some clear space? It requires your engagement, but there's an upside. Spirit can

cannot experience ecstasy. That takes human senses. Ecstasy, real joy, pleasure, those are all sensory experiences. So when you deal with the reality of the moment in an active way, and often we don't

know the right thing to do. We take safe little steps and we notice the results. We live in a causal world. We don't always know what we're causing, but you take an action and you notice.

And that kind of leads me to signs. I get a lot of... I'm the only one who reads my emails because people write me such private things and I feel honored, but also like I want to keep their privacy. So I read all the emails and I'll get these emails that said, oh, I found three pennies face up. It's a sign that this business deal is going to go well. And I'm like...

and the stock market drop is not a sign that it might not be a good time to quit your job and start a new business. Everything in your life, everything in your body, everything in your relationships, it's all a sign. We live in a synchronous world. So what the prism asks you to do is, again, it gives you some really clear, tiny little things to shift to create a result. And it asks you to notice, were you able to create the result with that shift?

Because if so, you know, where does that take you next? And what you end up doing is really having a feedback loop with your world. So what are some of the other steps, if you don't mind sharing? We talked about step one, but speaking of feedback loop and other things. There is no step one. Some people are very rigid.

They're super responsible, like eldest children, very rigid, super responsible. They actually, their lives, their first ego center, their foundation is so rigid and so responsible that they don't actually get to have fun and enjoy and create real abundance for themselves. And so then it really depends on what you want to work on in your life. So

very rigid, firstborn, super responsible, take care of everyone, fun is later, we don't take vacations, we invest in things that have blah, blah, blah. They might want to go to the second ego center. Second ego center is all about nourishment and creativity and abundance and pleasure, which for people who have a healthy experience of that in their childhood, they may say, well, of course,

But actually, pleasure can feel very scary to desire, to enjoy, to allow abundance, which can sometimes be sloppy and overwhelming and, you know, yummy, to allow nourishment. Nourishment was not available to me as a child. So I would forget to eat for days.

So I skipped a step and went directly to creativity. That's part of what saved me at the second ego center, which is the second shock, which is just below your navel.

But even though intuition allowed me to create millions and millions of dollars and create all kinds of abundance, which is the second ego center, it very quickly was dissipated because – and not through me, through the fact that I didn't have boundaries, also second ego center, because we all talk about how –

your absorption needs to be semi-permeable. You need to be able to block out toxins while taking in nourishment. What I love about the prism is everybody is unique. And you

You know, I think we've really made spirituality such a big deal. But if you really look into spirituality, spirituality is unity. It's oneness. And it's not the kind of unity that's sophisticated. Sophisticated unity is actually people working together, which has some rub and you need to negotiate your different ego center needs.

and they have to negotiate theirs. And I mean, it's a big deal working together. That is evolved. That evolves spirit.

Spirit, I also call the blob. It's when we're just merged together. You are spiritual. You don't have to try to be more spiritual. You are spiritual. The hard work is in being a human being in the world and creating a world for yourself, first and foremost, that you want. And I think that we are so critical. I mean, I have thousands of students and I'm really moved and heartbroken

about how hard they are on themselves. They're not blank enough.

I mean, any of them could go through a whole list of things. They're not blank enough to be able to be worthy of their goals. First of all, there's no worthy rule. You don't have to be worthy. Lots of people get their goals that they're not worthy of. Nobody made that. That's an invented rule. I ask them sometimes to do something called a positive personality profile. And I did not invent this. This is an old psychological technique where they have to make 20 positive statements about themselves. And then they get

positive, only positive feedback on it. They can come up with three. Now they can come up with hundreds of things that they've done wrong, that they will do wrong, that they aren't enough, that they don't look enough. But to get them to come up with some positive statements, it's really hard. We are so hard on ourselves. And for me, it's heartbreaking because, you know, I can't tell you how many times I've ruined my life. Same. You know,

ruin relationships, ruin my business, ruin my finances, ruin things beyond, seemingly beyond repair. And each time it has brought me somewhere that I didn't think I was worthy of going, somewhere so much better, but I wasn't able to accept because of my childhood patterning and my prism, my damaged prism, I wasn't able to accept that

that I was worthy of the wonderful husband I have or the abundant finances or the great career or the healthy body. It was warped. And I really, one of the things, and I'm sure you can relate to this, as a medium, when I say to someone, I feel your pain,

It's not a euphemism. I truly feel your pain as if it were my own. And I really wanted to share this system that saved my life and that took me out of pain. Not that I never feel pain, because believe me, I walk into that same wall over and over too. And I then have to evolve a little bit more. But I'm from a family where my siblings have committed suicide. My mother, my uncle, everyone's committed suicide. Life was way too overwhelming. Yeah.

And I realized I received these tools as a child. I just didn't know it. And I want people's lives to be easier. I want people to learn.

have what they want, to be who they want. And they can be. Your prism, the structure of reality is there for you to work with. And indeed, you are everything. So everything already pertains to you. So powerful. So powerful. And you bring up something where this is where I'm going to go next is I'm hearing that it's more mindset a little bit of

of that because if people can't necessarily come up with the positive or what that is, it's something that you have to change and switch your perspective and your mindset with it. Would you say that that's accurate in terms of transforming your reality?

No, you know, you don't have to believe it for it to work. You do, though, have to try new things. And that's why I love self-help. Like the prism right now we're working on drive.

and cooperation, which creates manifestation. If you have your full power, which often we didn't because in childhood we weren't able to, it was an imposition, there was violence, someone was ill in that, you know, millions of different reasons. But if you have your full power or somewhere close and you can cooperate with the world around us, which is a developmental task, which again, we learned early in childhood, the natural result is you create what you want.

You don't always believe you can. As a matter of fact, you know, positive thinking is dangerous. I always say if a bullet's coming at you, it will hit you unless you get out of the way. Negative thinking is dangerous because it's blinders to anything good. Empowered realistic thinking. So I don't believe in this. I don't think I can have this.

I think I'm pond slime. And yet, since I'm in this life and body, let me try doing something differently. I can't come up with it myself because, of course, I am trapped in my own paradigm. But let me try another, a safe paradigm. You know, let me try someone else's paradigm, someone who perhaps has, you know, has created in their own life from a pond slime moment.

I think my pond slime is one of my greatest credentials. Let me try something different. And then what happens is you notice a change. I think we often hobble ourselves, encumber ourselves with the idea that something has to feel good to be good, that we have to believe in it, that we have to be positive. I mean,

I woke up this morning really not positive. I was worried about a lot of things. I think I probably had a dream about my past. I felt really sad. But I got up and I knew what ego-centered is. There's an exercise in the book where you really drop your attention. And I knew that the ego-center was my sense of value, my sense of dignity, my sense of worth.

And so I did something really silly. I woke up and the first thing I did before I brushed my teeth was I put on lipstick. I did something to just...

say, well, honey, Laura, you're valuable to me. And it began a chain of events that changed my day. So don't encumber yourself with you have to think positive for things to be positive. You don't. What you do have to do, though, is to do something differently. And that will help you reframe your past. When

When meditations say go back to a tranquil moment in childhood, hell no, not going back there. You couldn't pay me good cash dollars to go back there. However, I'm so grateful for my childhood. A, I'm grateful I'm not there anymore. Not that I don't miss, you know, we always miss our dysfunction and we always miss our abusers or often miss our abusers, but I'm so grateful because it gave me the child I have, the work I have, the life I have, the wealth I have. It gave me

so much. So it can be recontextualized for me. It doesn't mean I would ever want to go back there, not even in meditation. Thank you for that. What is one thing that people listening can do today to transform and take that step, whatever that step is, to healing based on the prism and the structure that you've written about?

I mean, there really isn't one size fits all. That really is the point of the prism. We are all one and each individual is completely unique and so necessary to the one. So I think that a really important thing to realize is often we try very hard, but we're trying in an old way. Again, you can't think outside the box. You are the box. Try on prism.

someone else's paradigm. So for example, I knew where my intuition didn't work was in choosing a relationship. I kept choosing my parents over and over again and being in the position of being the healer and giving up myself to make someone else okay. The way that I found my most recent husband, who I've been with for 14 years, known to my students as Delicious Steven,

Two friends of mine who had 25-year marriages to really good people introduced me to men that they thought would be really good people for me. I realized that that was, you don't see what you don't see. That was a blind spot that I hadn't healed. And yet I didn't want to wait for it to heal to be in relationship. Those were the only men I dated.

When I met my husband, I emailed, it was before texting, I emailed my friend, don't encourage him, he's not my type. She emailed me back, honey, maybe that's a good thing.

a second chance. And by the third date, it was done. And I wake up grateful every morning for my husband. But that couldn't have happened from my own prism. I needed to have what I like to call a prosthetic exoskeleton, somebody else to take instructions elsewhere. So what the prism gives you are instructions. You want something? Try on this one tiny thing

There's a list of assertions at each ego center. You pick one that you're able to do and you do that one today.

and you notice what changes. The other thing is to realize that the obstacles are the path. Again, that's not original. It's a Facebook quote attributed to no one. But the obstacles are the path. You want the obstacles. You want things to, you don't want to suppress or repress. You want to be able to say, oh, okay, this is information that,

And now let me find what the solution is. And again, that's not inside yourself. You know, we've become from the 60s

Such isolated beings. It's not all in there. You are limited. It's not all in here. People have your answers. Community has your answers. Self-help has your answers. And by the way, everyone's a teacher. You have somebody else's answers. Even if it's how to live successfully on the street. I mean, you have somebody else's answers too.

So what's really interesting about being in community, and I'm an introvert, you know, I'm tired after half an hour with people, but it's important to be in community, whether it's by engaging in self-help or being on Zooms and having conversations. But the wonderful part is that we do have each other's answers. We don't have our own. And

We kind of live in a somebody-nobody world, but everybody is somebody. My son has a wonderful story of when he was struggling with history, and there was somebody who lived on the street who we always fed as a neighborhood who was a history buff, and he would sit with him on the bench and understand history.

And that is what my son needed to get into a good college. So often what we value in ourselves is what we were taught to value as children, but what the world values may actually be something that we enjoy more. You know, let new ideas in, try them out only if they're safe. You know, there are a lot of ideas that aren't safe. You know, a lot of new drug treatments that everyone's saying, oh yeah, I'm going to do this. Well, like,

maybe you want to try something that you don't have to put in your vein first.

Maybe you want to try something just a little bit with a little bit less possible downside first. But I think the one thing that the prism teaches us and that I have learned just from 66 years of life is a miracle takes a moment. The day I had my son was a miracle. The day I met my husband was a miracle. The day I sat in a play space while my son ate sand.

working by hand on a problem I was having synchronistically next to a big book agent who said, what are you doing? And I said, oh no, I'm just trying to figure out a problem. Oh yeah, how are you doing that? Didn't know she was a book agent and I wrote my, I published my first New York Times bestseller less than a year later, which solved so many problems. It takes a minute. So don't get too attached to

to what it is you don't want. You know, that's all stuff you have to deal with, the woulda, shoulda, coulda, or the obstacles. No matter how much you think you ruined your life, you let go of your one true love, you put yourself in financial crisis, you have an illness that is gonna, you know, limit your life, try something new. You might find that a miracle really does take a moment.

So much good stuff there. Thank you so much. Is there anything that we haven't had a chance to cover about yourself, the book, or also anything you feel led to share with listeners before we end and share how they can reach you? Well, we get together. I try to go on usually in my pajamas with lipstick. Your iron pajamas with lipstick. My iron pajamas. I know. I do like iron pajamas. Love it.

I think I probably saw it in a TV show when I was six and thought, oh, I want that in my future. That's important. Iron pajamas. I go on Instagram at lauradayandtuit.

almost every day. And we join together as a group of healers and intuitives. So we do readings for each other. We do healings for each other. People catch on really quickly, but we create a community. This community took people through COVID. This community takes people through crisis, but it also is the way I train because I don't take new intuitive clients. I work with companies and my intuition is for my students and friends as just part of their learning.

But they train by doing readings online and doing healings online. So we get together in community because I do. Community is a reflection of spirit. In spirit, we are amorphous, but we are one. In community, we are individuals trying to work to create as one.

And that's something we do at Laura Day Intuit. LauraDay.com is my website. I publish a newsletter, always has new meetings coming up. I try to do a lot of free events all over and I will be touring for the Prism. So hopefully I'll get to meet people, which I love. So much is virtual, but I think nothing quite replaces the hug.

I agree. Well, thank you so much for coming on. Like I said, it's been a long time coming, so I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. And I'll be sure to include all this information, where to get your book, and also connect with you on Instagram and your website. Thank you again, Laura. Thank you so much. This has been an enjoyable way to spend time.
