38. The One Where We Talk Intuition, Spirit & Energy (with Lyndy Jewell)
24 Plays10 days ago
In this fascinating and down-to-earth conversation, Victoria is joined by Lyndy Jewell - psychic medium, intuitive healer, oracle card creator, and all-round deeply insightful human.
Lyndy shares her journey into this work, from intuitive experiences in childhood through to building the confidence to step fully into her gifts and create a career helping others. Together, Victoria and Lyndy explore intuition, spirit, energetic boundaries, skepticism, healing, and what it really means to trust yourself.
This episode is a beautiful blend of humour, honesty, grounded wisdom, and open-minded curiosity. Whether you are deeply into energy work or simply curious about intuition and the unseen, this conversation offers plenty to reflect on.
A few key reminders from this episode:
- You do not have to follow the same path as the people before you
- Intuition often strengthens when you start paying attention to the small nudges
- Sometimes understanding comes in hindsight - and that is part of the process
- Gratitude can be a powerful way to shift your energy and calm your nervous system
- Looking after your energy does not have to be complicated
- You do not need to have it all figured out - sometimes you just need to give yourself a break
Lyndy’s final piece of advice:
Give yourself a break.
So much of the intensity we feel is coming from within. Slow down, breathe deeply, release some of the tension you are carrying, and remember that you are worth caring for too.

Introduction to Lindy Jewell
00:00:39
Speaker
All right. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Mindful Educator podcast. I've got a lovely guest joining me today, liny Lindy. Lindy Jewell is a psychic medium and an energy healer, and she's very good at what she does. i know because I have worked with her and so i have both my sisters and you're scarily accurate, Lindy, in what you say. So welcome to the podcast. Thank you for joining me today.
00:01:03
Speaker
Thank you, Victoria. Thanks so much for having me. I'm really looking forward to this. Yeah. So I just thought we'd start off if you just want to give us, um yeah, a little bit of background about who you are and what you actually do as well, and then we'll go from there.
00:01:15
Speaker
Sure. so um as you said, psychic medium, intuitive healer, oracle card creator. I am the creator of the Swery Decks, the fucking honest oracle cards, the Get Fucking Motivated cards, and the Crude Creatures that have sold worldwide, which blew my mind. um But I am absolutely your average menopausal ADHD, you know, mother of two, ploughing through the world doing her own thing. I've been doing this for a while. Full time I've been doing this work for I think probably 15 years now. But it's one of those things that's a bit weird to get into.
Lindy's Journey and Childhood Experiences
00:01:50
Speaker
It's not exactly a box that you tick on the, you know, the, the, um,
00:01:54
Speaker
the school careers thing in high school so yeah so what might be sorry you go no no you go keep going um yeah so i kind of i didn't fall into it i always ah and i'm sure that a lot of your listeners are going to feel the same where you go i just feel a bit different i just don't quite fit in i don't I feel things, I hear things, but I don't quite understand what ah what it is. And it's just taken me, taking me um it took ages, like decades for me to actually build the confidence to do this for a job.
00:02:25
Speaker
yeah And um I'm bloody glad I did. I absolutely love it. Yeah. And you're so good at it as well, which I think yeah is a testament to those skills that you have. So I guess from someone who, you know, looking from the outside in, what, like, what were some signs that perhaps things were a little bit different for you that perhaps you were picking up on things that other people weren't? And like, was this something that you had from childhood or did it develop as you got older or how did this all come about?
00:02:52
Speaker
Yeah, definitely from childhood. It was interesting. I had a situation when I was really little. I was probably, I remember I was probably about six or eight. And I remember hearing a message um ah along the lines of don't follow that example. Like someone was behaving in a way that, that,
00:03:10
Speaker
made me go oh that's weird even at that age like an adult and um and I just got this very clear message that I don't have to behave the same way as an adult and I went oh and I always held on to that that I don't have to follow you know but we have these generational things that we just do um I very clearly learned that no I can choose my own path and make my own decisions and do that sort of thing mind you I was Always scared, scared of everything. i was a really shy, reserved kind of kid. I wasn't scared of anything out there. I was scared of all fucking people around me and and, you know, not pissing anyone off and, you know, people please it to the max. But it's been really interesting how there's been so many little things
00:03:50
Speaker
I look back and see so many signs of of how different I was to a lot of other people. button But when you're in it, like it's your own shit. You don't know that it's any different. It's your version of normal. So,
Understanding and Trusting Intuition
00:04:04
Speaker
yeah. But things like um the big one for me, the really big one that got the ball rolling was I was driving along this road, a really windy road.
00:04:13
Speaker
near where I lived and I got this very clear message to stop the car and I was and I did I stopped the car and I avoided what could potentially have been a massive accident so i and then it I went to take off having avoided that going gee that was lucky and I got the noise the the sound again like stop stop stop the car stop and i was like no i already did it but i I stopped anyway and sure enough another car would have taken me out as well so Oh, wow. That was where I really went, wow, I have to deal with that. But at the time was, I was 18. I was a brand new driver and there was no internet then. So when you just suddenly go, right, this is a thing. And I do have to follow it up after years and years and years of going, I, is this weird? I don't know. um There was no internet, so there was no easy way to follow a path. So there was lots and lots and lots of people and mentors and courses and classes that I've done along the way to kind of to work out who I am or or how I work.
00:05:08
Speaker
Yeah, and it's so interesting as well because i know like I've looked into this a little bit and everyone kind of receives the messages in different ways. Like I know some people can be visual, others it's like a voice or whatever it might be. So for you, was it just, was is it a voice? Is that what you hear or is it? how Well, there's lots of different ways now. So it was mostly voices back then or or just knowing. And that's the hardest one when people have, because they call the clear senses, right, which and there's eight of them, which, of course, I can't remember off the top of my head right now. but But there were longer lines of, you know, hearing, seeing, just knowing, like yeah physical feelings, emotional feelings, um smell, taste, you know, all those different ones.
00:05:49
Speaker
And I had a couple, but I, you again, didn't realise that that's what they were. And then as I started understanding them more, I would pick up other ones. So this is really common way for people to do it, I think, where once they start to look into it and start to understand how messages are coming through. yeah then more and more information comes through in different ways.
00:06:11
Speaker
It kind of naturally expands itself. So now I get all the ways. But I think in the beginning, anybody out there that's feeling like I might be intuitive, I'm not sure, let me tell you now, you absolutely fucking are because you just probably don't know how to interpret it. That's all you need.
00:06:26
Speaker
Yeah, okay, because that's really interesting. well i know um I know quite a few people that have children that are definitely displaying some type of... Maybe something more than the norm. So would you suggest for those parents perhaps do to help their children or nurture their children if they are kind of, yeah, exhibiting signs that maybe there's a little bit more than just their normal intuition going on?
Nurturing Intuition in Children and Adults
00:06:51
Speaker
That's a good question, actually. I'm i'm not...
00:06:54
Speaker
It's kind of hard because you are going to be parenting from your own experiences. So if the kid is, if your child is seeing something that you have no ability to connect with or, and you haven't it done any of this stuff before, then of course you're going to go what's that about? What's that? you know And move on with your day. So it's very difficult.
00:07:13
Speaker
to keep your brain in the game and go, oh, my God, they might be seeing something mystical or magical. i Obviously support and kindness and ask them. But the thing is with kids, you know what they like. You you give them a little bit of attention about it and all of a sudden this thing got blown way out of proportion. So I think i think it's just being...
00:07:30
Speaker
get making a space where they can talk about it, where they can ask about it. And I've actually had parents bring their very intuitive children to me so I could talk to them about what they see and help them ah help the child directly understand it, obviously with parents in the room so that there was a kind of a broader family understanding of what was going on so it could be encouraged. But, yeah, I've come across some exceptionally talented children in my time. Yeah, there's some really clever kids out there.
00:07:57
Speaker
Yeah. And I think, yeah, I know a lot of people say it's also because their minds are a lot more open as well as we get older. Sometimes it seems we close off our minds a bit, but yeah. yeah yeah yeah And what about for adults that perhaps have been like, oh, maybe there actually is more to... kind of what I have been, you know, feeling or hear throughout my life.
00:08:18
Speaker
That one I find much easier, but it's so easy to say and so easy to point people in the right direction with that. Actually doing it is a whole different story. So please, please, please anyone out there, don't beat yourself up for the fact that you haven't done anything with it yet and you may not ever. It's totally up to you. But trust yourself. That word trust is so fucking hard. But I think have have the...
00:08:39
Speaker
the belief that you could be special. And honestly, i don't... This is not a gift. This is not being special. This is just who you fucking are when you eliminate all the noise. But there's so much noise and there's so much anxiety that that rolls through and interrupts the information, the flow, the, you know, the the way that you connect with spirit, whatever the fuck you believe spirit to be. then that is what trips people up. So I guess...
00:09:07
Speaker
approach it with a sense of curiosity rather than needing to know because we're raised and we're taught to find, you know, have a question, find an answer. Whereas this is an entirely different ballgame where it's, sure, have a question, but the answer is going to be delivered in the most bizarre way or there's a very real understanding that there's not just one fucking answer to anything in life. So, you know, there's this option and that option and, and you know, option potentiality or you know certainly you can see what's coming yeah as a psychic but it's entirely up to the person taking the action to do it so even when you're starting to learn or you're starting to question what you've got it still is about action but it's also about allowing things to happen and it's a little bit kind of nuanced i guess and a little bit tricky to find the balance there
00:09:56
Speaker
Yeah.
Simplifying Spiritual Practices
00:09:57
Speaker
And I suppose, I guess it's like anything as well. Like at first that you have to make that choice as to whether you're wanting to kind of pursue it in the first place, don't you? Yeah, absolutely. Like any skill, you've got to work at it, don't you? to Yeah.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yeah, you do. And it's, I remember, um, And you can look, you can complicate the shit out of it or you can let it be easy. It's totally up you. I used to meditate for ages and, you know, do all these kind of highfalutin things, particularly when I started doing the healings, which I love. um I'd put crystals in the room and, i'd you know, light 20 candles and blah, blah, blah, and do all these really complicated things. And then I worked out that it was not about the fucking crystals on the carpet and on the bed and hanging from the ceiling and all the rest of it. and It was not about the candles that were potentially going to set fire to the room. It was more about me feeling like I had done enough to justify my connection with spirit so I could help the person in front of me. And then i were and then it was very clear that I didn't need to do all that bullshit. It was fun. It was nice. It was gorgeous. The ambience was phenomenal but also entirely unnecessary. yeah So how do you strengthen then like your connection? How do you, you know, what do you do daily or what do you do throughout your week to strengthen your connection to spirit? How does that work for you? Gratitude. Gratitude. Absolutely comes down to gratitude. i am grateful every single day to the point that if someone was in my head, they'd go, oh, these chicks are wanker. Like she's always saying fucking thank you for everything. What the hell?
00:11:26
Speaker
But it's really... It's really made the world of difference to be grateful because when you've got, you can't be, I find personally anyway, it's kind of hard to be grateful and anxious and the anxiety and the overthinking is the thing that's going to fuck up your link with spirit. So um when you are feeling grateful, when you are noticing the little signs and signals in nature, particularly, um but anything positive that comes across, if you are connecting with that,
00:11:54
Speaker
it's just going to open you up energetically and it makes, makes it kind of, if you imagine, um and again, my interpretation, so everybody run this through your own filter, but my interpretation of it is if my internal energy is good, then I'm almost like bright and shiny on the inside, right? And if it's really good, I'm going to be glowing, absolutely fucking glowing out beyond my skin. So your angels and guides, whatever the fuck they are, i always see them as light as well. So they're going to be able to see you better.
00:12:24
Speaker
They work really hard to get information to us. So they're going to want to come the easiest path. So if you are nice and bright and and vibrant, as vibrant as you can be, it doesn't mean fucking permanently joyful and happy. It just means connected, grounded, you know, feeling secure, feeling, but you know, happy to be you kind of thing. um Then it's much easier for them to communicate with you. So then the signs and and the the information, the messages that come through are pretty fucking obvious. You can't miss them.
00:12:53
Speaker
Yeah. and I think that's like what you said there, that applies whether you're trying to connect with spirits or otherwise. I mean, just having that gratitude is amazing and people pick up on that energy as well, don't they? So. Absolutely. Yeah. It's a game changer in all aspects of life. Yeah, you're right.
00:13:07
Speaker
Yeah.
Addressing Skepticism and Session Approach
00:13:08
Speaker
I love that so much. And when you're, I suppose for me as someone who I'm like, I don't know, like, I'm a skeptic. I love them. Yeah, but I'm like, is it intuition? Is it not? Or is it this? Is it not? Like, how does this work?
00:13:24
Speaker
How would you, i mean, obviously there's a lot of skeptics out there, I know. And I know for me, I know that I've always kind of had that belief that there's definitely something more out there. I do believe that we do have some spirits and guides and all the rest of that around us.
00:13:36
Speaker
Um, how does it work though, for people that are maybe like, oh, I'm getting all these things, but you know, is it just my intuition or is it something more like, how can you tell the difference between, yeah, just like what's your normal niggles, I suppose. And what's something that's, you know, whoa, like this is.
00:13:53
Speaker
yeah big message out way yeah you ordinary mary yeah i that's probably a good question too uh i guess probably um this is what i teach people all the time is that you almost have to go you have to learn backwards that's how i refer to it so you get a bit of a nudge or a niggle and you think oh what's that what what do you mean something important going happen on thursday and then But that you get that message on Sunday or Monday. And then by the time you come to Thursday, you're going, oh, fuck, that's what that means. Oh, now it makes sense now. and But then you're going, oh, I should have known. and I should have. No, no, no, no, no. We need to eliminate those I should have. You shouldn't have known. You couldn't have known. Until you start to understand what your interpretation of the energy and the messages is, you cannot know. So if you actually stop in that moment and go oh, I can see that now, and then let your mind travel back to when you got the message and go, I i understand how it all links now and I know what I felt
00:14:52
Speaker
and i can trust it from this point in time from this present point where i've witnessed the thing and now i understand it let your brain your energy whatever go back and go okay i can i can link it it makes sense and then when it happens again you you you it's like your ears will prick up and you'll pay better attention next time so will you know exactly what the outcome is going to be probably not but it gives you it just strengthens that um understanding and that learning and and makes a massive difference The other thing that I probably would say to people too is that keep in mind you are going to pick up on stuff for other people far better and far more quickly. So you will know shit about your kids or your friends or, you know, your friends, your kids' mates or whatever more than you will know stuff for you because we are so...
00:15:39
Speaker
deeply connected to the outcome of stuff for ourselves it's very difficult to disconnect from that and people feel like they're not intuitive because they don't know that they should have worn gum boots on that day instead of thongs or you know blah bla blah blah your your outside perspective of someone else's life is much clearer you it's very difficult to have that outside perspective for yourself so yeah i will probably If you think you've got something going on, I would probably let yourself focus on other people first. And, and you know, thank the university guides.
00:16:14
Speaker
Pardon me, confirmation burp, thank you. Whatever you believe in. Thank them when you do message that friend you've been thinking of and she comes back and tells you, oh yeah, I do have news. Here it is. You know, when you, you know, that that sort of stuff really needs an expansion before you start looking at stuff for yourself.
00:16:33
Speaker
Yeah. And I think, yeah, because it's always like, yeah, sometimes you just think of people and it's, yeah you know like you said you message them and and they needed you at that moment and it's yeah just those little things that you kind of i suppose if you're not paying attention you just brush them off but yeah i suppose we're we've got to have that we and we're busy go i'll call later i'll call later and we don't or or we overthink it oh yeah but i haven't spoken to three weeks what's she gonna think if i contact her now that's just so weird blah blah blah fuck it just do it anyway Yeah. Yeah. not very good point. So when you do your readings and your sessions that you have with people, how does it look for you? Like, do you, I know a common thing that comes up is people are like, oh, they already knew that anyway. So I know that that's one thing that um like, if people are kind of like, oh, I'm not sure about this, they're like, they would have been able to look up that information. Or another one is um if it's like all doom and gloom and it's like, well, how do you approach sessions and how do you kind of deal with these sorts of things because I know I know people that are like oh they would have googled you beforehand and found out these details about you and I'm like I don't think I meant those details are on google but anyway like do you ever get also I'm way too lazy for that no I'm not doing you know I i didn't even make it to this meeting on tongs i forgot to look it up so you know there's no hope in hell that would make um i totally understand and look skeptics absolutely fucking love them and i think it's it's it's really healthy to have a dose of skepticism but also give it a go you don't know what you're missing out unless you give it a go but the ones that say oh they would have looked it up or they could have seen that on google and facebook and stuff genuinely i don't have the inclination all the time to do that shit um and it's not like
00:18:17
Speaker
For me, when I'm connecting with someone, because all my sessions are online now, so when I'm connecting with someone, it's almost, it literally feels like just tuning into their frequency, their energy. It's like tuning into a radio channel. So I'm not going to be, you know, picking up jazz music if I'm tuning into a rock and roll station. You know what I mean? Like, it just... it just It goes the way it goes. And I really think that every one of us that does this does it differently. So for me, when when I first have a session with someone, I often say at the beginning, I'll ask you more questions than you ask me because I want to know, like, where do you live and what do you do and what work do you do? And are you married or blah, bla blah, blah. Other people that do what I do come in and go, don't tell me a thing. and just download. So i don't ask those questions for the purpose of finding out all your stuff and then making up stuff. I ask that so I can really get in the groove of your life and go, oh okay, now this bit that's coming in makes sense. And this connects to that child. And this one, this is about your career. Cause you just told me that you're a baker, but oh God, no, I can see you in two years being a nurse. You need to start studying or, you know what mean? Like I can, yeah,
00:19:23
Speaker
it just I see what feels right and aligned and what doesn't with whatever it is that you say. so And then once people ask it once I ask a couple of questions, I'm away. I talk very fast and there's a lot of information that comes out. But, again, that's how it works for me is you could see someone else and it's not like that. I do also, um i have had sessions with a lot of people too who have come to me after they've been to a psychic who,
00:19:49
Speaker
who has said fucking random bullshit things like um someone close to you is going to die. Like, is that fucking helpful? No. And is it true? Usually not. But I just, I tend to be more specific with information and and there's,
00:20:04
Speaker
you know and untangling that energetic fuckery really is my jam so as much as it's a psychic session i'm telling you what's coming up there's also this beautiful connection in the background where i'm creating space i guess you'd call it for your energy to unwind and detox and i'm sure if you speak to any of my clients they just feel better afterwards it's not just because oh i know that you know the car's going to be fine or whatever they they feel better because they just fucking feel better because i've you know deactivate, like calmed their nervous system and enormously, create a space where they can actually start healing some of the heart stuff in their emotions. You know, there's a whole lot of different ways that energy work is really, really helpful that people don't see if they haven't tried it. So don't know. I mean, I always suggest people take the recommendations of someone else for a psychic because there are some boogitos out there. Fuck me. Even I've been seen be to one and went, oh, you're a fucking fish slapper. i don't want to be helpful.
00:21:01
Speaker
something and you off the list like even though i see psychics and other healers because again my stuff is so close to me i often can't get the perspective i need so you know you can't you can't do everything on your own people that's probably the underlying message you cannot do everything yourself Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. Very good point. And I love how you're like, yeah, we welcome skeptics here because I mean, yeah, if you sit there going, Oh no, no, no. Like that's probably a red flag as well in some regards. yeah So how do you have you ever kind of received any messages of doom and gloom? Like I know you said that some people have been told, you know, like someone close them is going to die. Like, have you ever had anything like that come up? And and how do you even approach that?
00:21:43
Speaker
Yeah, I
Managing Negative Intuitive Information
00:21:44
Speaker
have. Only, oh, look, I did have an instance very early on, and this is the other thing people don't even think about either, but you can actually set ground rules with what information you get. So I remember very early on in my career, a lady came to me and I could see um there was going to be some, something was going to go wrong with her leg and I couldn't, but ah like they told me that and they said, but you can't tell her.
00:22:12
Speaker
And I kind of went, fuck that. I'm letting her know. And I literally could not speak the words. I just could not speak. I couldn't speak the words anyway. She she left and i'd actually, to be honest, I don't know whatever happened with her So I don't i can't quantify it. But I fucking had words with them that day and went, don't ever do that to me again. Don't you ever put me in a position where you tell me something for someone else and don't and I can't tell them. That is not on. i am not up for that. so yeah um so then when it comes to things that are negative or or what's perceived negative like like people sometimes come to me when someone they love is near the end of their life anyway and go like they kind of want a bit of a timeline which sounds cold but it's not like it's a little bit more like well how do we how do we plan our way forward with this and what do we need to put in place in what timeline and honestly i don't always get an exact timeline with people with that sort of situation but
00:23:09
Speaker
I can get like it it can be perceived as me negative to say, yeah, it's going to be drawn out or no or it's going to be quick and you've got to be ready or whatever. But i don't know. I just I give the information as it comes. ah It's every reading is so different. Even someone that has readings regularly with me will still have a very different reading from one to the next. with yeah what Because they they, being angels, guides, whatever you believe in um they know that what they've told you last time sometimes they'll reiterate stuff for me and i'll forget i have no memory of what i told you last time um but they'll reiterate it and then the person goes oh oh you told me that last time and i go right that's a very valid important point then because if they've told me again you need to listen um but other times it's a whole it's like two entirely you're speaking to two entirely different humans the way the information comes through so yeah Yeah, it's very different.
00:23:59
Speaker
That's interesting, yeah because I know, um yeah, one of one of my sisters, I know she's, as we said, she's a frequent flyer. And so, yeah, it's quite interesting that, yeah, I suppose, what was the other thing that, um I know she says it before, like you've got your freedom of will, like whether you actually choose to kind of go and follow this, like what you've been told. Oh, absolutely, yeah. That freedom of choice is the the most important thing. So often what I'm what I tell people what is available to them it is literally available you're at the fucking buffet of life if you choose to reach out and do and you know and pick up the salmon and put it on your plate that's yours but if you're standing if you're standing at the buffet and going oh no I'm not picking up the tongs I'm not moving I'm staying exactly where I am I'm going well the salmon's there
00:24:49
Speaker
What are you going to do about it? You're not going to eat it if you don't reach out and take the action. So the action steps are really, really important. But I completely understand people that come to me wanting to know what the action steps are because we are so busy and we're so busy.
00:25:09
Speaker
overwhelmed by so many things all the time and we're feeling so torn in so many directions and it's very hard to go right what's next for me because and particularly as women and particularly as mums we don't we don't look at what we want hardly very often at all and when we do it's like oh fuck i'm overwhelmed by the choices or i'm underwhelmed by the options yeah That's very good point. ah yeah and Yeah, I think like you said, it's always, yeah, that freedom of choice, which is so important. And that's the case, again, with anything in life, isn't it? We always have that choice as to whether we're yeah going to something. Yeah, but it's the confidence to do anything with it. That's what I love, making a difference with people, giving them the confidence to go, na that is going to work. That's yeah a bloody great or dear or going...
00:25:54
Speaker
Well, it could work, but you're going to have to put this, this and that in place. So because I speak to business leaders, I speak to parents, I speak to expectant parents, like but it doesn't, it really doesn't matter what walk of life you come from. it's It's kind of, I guess what I've taken from doing this work for so long is that it's kind of comforting that e everyone's confused about stuff, not just you. ah We're all wondering if we're doing in the right thing. That's exactly true. Yeah. Yeah. yeah And it is. Yeah. That's so true. Oh, awesome. so I guess for you as well, like you obviously do a lot of energy work. You do a lot of, um you know, you get lots of downloads and that. How do you protect your energy
Personal Energy Management
00:26:33
Speaker
amongst all of this? Like, do you have anything in particular that you do to kind of put your energetic boundaries in place or is it, yeah. How do you approach that side of it as well? Yeah, I do. so I certainly, and I think people think of psychic medium, like she she knows all the answers. No, I fucking don't. Like I get really pissed off at myself just as much as everybody else does because I forgot this or I didn't do that or I i should have actioned that yesterday and I bloody didn't and it's going to bite me in the ass. But looking after my energy, I suppose there is an element of me me needing to be kind to myself, which has been a struggle. Like I was so low in self-confidence and self-worth for so, so long.
00:27:10
Speaker
um that that was a battle. That was a real battle. But um now I find that, I mean, it could be the result of working with so many people and realising that we're all as vulnerable as each other and just that, don't know, that kindness that is so easy to show to each other it makes such a fucking difference so that's one of the things i do is i i strike kind of strive for kindness which again probably sounds a bit weird and we were wanky but um you know when you're sharing good energy you're getting it back and
00:27:42
Speaker
um People talk about protection and think about, you know, i put up magic mirrors and blah, blah, blah around me and I hide from the bad energy and blah, but I'm an empath and I bet a lot of your listeners are as well. um So empaths are obviously people that just pick up on other people's feelings and emotions. So, um but you kind of need that still. You can't, if you're blocking out negative energy, you're blocking out old energy and you kind of need to feel where people are at.
00:28:09
Speaker
So what I've found worked for me is that if am going into a situation where I go, oh, this is going to be tricky, and usually it's like it's a bloody family event, you know what that's like. Well, you probably don't, but I do. um I'm sure quite a few people do, yes. Yes, and quite a few people do. Or colleagues, that you know, are going to be prickly or, you know, a situation you know is going to be rough.
00:28:34
Speaker
i I get very deliberate about breathing inside of me, breathing so I'm not just feeling the air coming into my lungs. I'm kind of being, you know, fervent. ah aware of the energy that comes in. So energy is all around us everywhere. We're made of it.
00:28:49
Speaker
Look up the science, you know, it's a thing. um And just almost choosing for that energy to stay in you. So you're breathing in beautiful, bright light. It brings in energy It expands you internally and you breathe out all the bullshit. You do that a few times and you suddenly go, oh, I actually do feel a bit brighter and lighter on the inside. And then it doesn't matter what shit someone else throws at you, that ain't sticking. So yeah, so, but you can still feel and and get an indication intuitively where the conversation is going to go, where how to to present yourself or hold yourself or whatever.
00:29:23
Speaker
But you're not taking on other people's bullshit. You're aware of it, no doubt about it. But you're not actually walking away going, oh, God, they made that about me and I feel terrible and I'm a bad person. You're just going, okay, I handled that pretty well and now I'm on my way.
00:29:38
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, and that's really good because, yeah, I know I have a few different things that I've done in there. Like, you know, you've got to do the energetic force field around you and all this sort of stuff. And I'm like, yeah, it's quite interesting that you say that in terms of being an empath as well because I know I think as women in general, we're pretty good at picking up on other people's emotions no matter what they are and their vibes and all the rest of it. I just find women just seem to be better at reading those things. Yeah, we are. But, yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's just that. I don't know. Who knows? So it's interesting that you say that where you're not necessarily rejecting that and blocking it. It's, yeah, just I like what you said there in terms of the kind of, yeah, the breathing and the good stuff. That's nice. Yeah, because I just found, I don't know, like in my head, and I'm a very visual person, but I do feel like if you put a boundary, you know, the protection around you, it's like cutting off your oxygen. You just, can breathe for so long and then it's gone. And same with energy, like it'll protect you for certain amount of time, but then it's gone. If you do it again, like why not use the energy that you've put into creating the boundary, put it internally. So, and you will start to find that your personal boundaries get better as well. Well, you're not saying yes as often when really you mean no. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that a big one? Wouldn't that be great?
00:30:57
Speaker
and So in terms of your family, how do they handle like, how have they been with this side of you? They totally take the piss out of me all the time. I love no that. My husband's an electrician and has absolutely no idea what I do. He's got no clue, except that once I created the Oracle card decks yeah and they went well, he was able to go, oh she makes cards. Like it was a physical thing he could see. But when I said to him, because he's your standard electrician, I'm sure they go, but they toddle off to electrician school and have all their emotions removed. And then they're set out as apprentices. Um,
00:31:31
Speaker
But, yeah, so he still has no clue except that I make people feel better. That's it, that I make people feel better and I've got oracle cards. That's that's all he understands. my kids My kids had this running joke with their mates that I was a drug dealer because they could not understand how I made money to write to.
00:31:49
Speaker
Because I would smudge the room all the time. They would go, God, it stinks in here, mum. Kind of assumed I was in meth lab of some sort or something. I don't know. Yeah, but they don't they're not particularly on board with it. they don't It's not like they actively oppose me doing what I'm doing, but they're certainly not full on encouraging encouraging.
00:32:08
Speaker
but you know none of that they um every now and then my husband would he used to work away a lot and every now and then he would come home and go oh i spoke to someone else's mate and his wife uses oracle cards too was yeah he was probably trying to explain what you're doing he's like oh That was the best one. It's a weird bonding moment between two tradies in the outback somewhere, but it was cool. That's hilarious. Oh, that's, and yeah, I suppose, does anyone else in your family kind of show signs that they've got this intuitive side of them coming through? Or it something that's very unique? really. My sister little bit. My sister a little bit, but not really anyone else. And one of my cousins bit. But all of us, know, like,
00:32:49
Speaker
um it really is a self-growth thing. Like I genuinely believe that we are all capable of this. I'm just followed it, someone that followed it too far down that line, you know what mean?
00:33:01
Speaker
But I think that the under overall kind of, or underlying importance is that it helps people. Like that's always been my jam my entire life. Even when I was really, really little, I always wanted to help people. Like I was the kid selling raffle tickets at the footy when I was four following whoever was had it. So I'd hold onto a bucket or I'd hold onto the tickets or, you know, and then I'd work in the canteen and then the school would, was selling flowers at the cuckoo in Olinda at the time. And, you know, I'd go and do that. And if there was ever a way to help people, I'd do it. And this, I just find, makes such a profound difference for the lives of the people I work with directly and the people around them. Because when when someone in a family unit is feeling better, the flow and effects are fucking magnificent. So it's really nice to get, I don't know, it's probably a bit of an ego boost, I suppose, the positive feedback but that I get, but more it's about knowing that
00:33:55
Speaker
I've helped people feel better in a significant way and whether they come back and see me again or not, they'll take that with them. And that's bloody brilliant. kind of, I don't know, I see it a little bit as my legacy, I suppose.
Impact and Legacy of Lindy's Work
00:34:05
Speaker
Yeah, oh, definitely. And I know, um like, obviously having had readings with you and all the rest of it, like it's, like I said, they're very accurate and it has been so helpful for me and just helping, you know, guide my children and things that I'm doing in my own life as well. yeah. Yeah, it definitely is an extremely helpful thing.
00:34:22
Speaker
but Yeah, and that's the thing. I kind of feel sad for the people that haven't tried it because, yeah like, you don't know how helpful it is until you give it a go because you can't. I guess probably people like to book in for things and go, I know what the outcome going to be, but this is an absolute fucking mystery for you and me. so Yeah. ah we just sit down and what comes through comes through yeah absolutely so but it's always i there's always a laugh in there and that's the thing i think people expect the oh you know the mystical deep blah you know dramatic bullshit but you just don't get that with me and again it's because everybody does it differently you might go to someone who is that and completely fucking fabulous yeah or you come to me and have a laugh and go away feeling better like there's it's not that you won't feel better from the other one as well but
00:35:05
Speaker
There's just different different vibes for different folks, I suppose. Yeah, yeah, that's so good. And do you have, like, any really funny stories or anything that you're able to share? Like, has anything kind of come through that you're like, oh, my gosh. thought is I have heaps, but I'm so forgetful. um but I guess. It's okay. I've put you on the spot, so it's okay. Yeah, no, no, it's all right. No, I do love, I did have, um,
00:35:27
Speaker
There's one guy jumping into my head at the moment who ended up being a regular client, but he was ah he was in the emergency services. So those people are so serious. Like they they've seen shit, right? Anyway, and he came to me because his wife made him basically. And so he he was it was back when I was seeing people in person. So he's sitting in the chair in my healing room just with his arms crossed and his legs crossed and just staring at me going, mm-hmm, yeah. you want to Clearly not into it. And then i i um I happened to pick up on a friend of his who was who had come in and was, um because you this guy, like, there's, ah because obviously the the mental load on anyone in emergency services is enormous. And so they were kind of looking for something that could possibly help him with that. So um his mate who had passed popped in and said,
00:36:18
Speaker
and dropped in, um it wasn't a name, it was ah it dropped in a letter that went, oh, I said, oh, it looks like this animal. Like it looks, someone's just come in and and just said this letter and then it looks like an animal and and and they're pointing at you, but they're pointing, like they're very specifically pointing at one side of his body or the other. I can't remember now.
00:36:38
Speaker
And his jaw hit the floor and he goes, that's my mate that died five years ago and I've got a tattoo with his name on it and this is is the letter was, embellished and it's had this animal situation on his go and and this guy had long sleeve shirt on so i couldn't see it i didn't know i'd never discussed it with his wife um yeah and it was just because the first thing he did when he got home apparently was like did you tell lindy about whatever his name was yeah she was like nah like why would that come up yeah i'm random yeah
00:37:10
Speaker
Oh, and so that probably would have been like. From then on, he was on board and then he was able. But the the good thing was, like, the mate coming, popping through, it meant that then he was able to receive the other information that I had. And that was the important factor. It wasn't the mate was going, oh, look at me, I'm here. it was more like, I can sit down and shut listen because she's got something to say. And it's not about me having something to say. It's about me connecting you.
00:37:31
Speaker
with your energy so that you can feel better and feel feeling better is not some fucking frivolous outcome it's really important as so many people need it i know and it's amazing how uh how many people are not choosing to kind of do that as well i think that's yeah so if they come and do things like this it's great because if that means that they can walk away feeling better and you know having a bit more knowledge about perhaps where are they're going and i mean why wouldn't you yeah absolutely and i think for a lot of people too they've been under the pump for so long from so many different aspects of life they don't know where to start yeah with untangling it or feeling better and often that's enough like i'm and i get people and i'm all for you know counseling psychology psychiatry all of that the medicaid all of it i'm up for all of it if someone needs it they need it yeah but i'm i'm surprised at how often i see people who go
00:38:22
Speaker
I just can't ah can't connect with that. They ask me questions and and people some people just... when they're asked questions, they shut down. Whereas when they see someone like me, I can tell them stuff and they're like, oh, they're suddenly more open and going, yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I understand that. And it just lets them be more, feel more, I guess, safe maybe. They're um they're not feeling as much vulnerability as going, right, tell me about your stuff. Tell me about this. Tell me about that. Because they've learned to shut that shit down for safety reasons, for them for their own heart space or to protect their mental health. But having someone else come in and and talk about it seems to work just a little bit better for some people, not all people, but some people.
00:39:03
Speaker
Yeah. And what an interesting way to look at it as well, because yeah, I suppose, yeah, once you kind of got those barriers up, it can be very hard to bring them down. So if you can kind of, you're almost bypassing that in a way, aren't you? I mean, like yeah actually like, yeah, absolutely. It's just coming at it from a different angle. That's all. That's why there's absolutely value in all those other things, the the clever people stuff, I call it. But, um but the, but sometimes it's coming at things from a different perspective is what's required. And, and often with, um,
00:39:30
Speaker
uh you know the way relationships are in often amongst families but can be work stuff too like when you're able to see things from someone else's perspective got to change a shit it just makes life easier yeah oh gosh yeah i think yeah because as you said like we get so caught up in what we're in our own lives and ourselves that we're so close to it sometimes that yeah just to kind of step back and be like oh yeah i can see that from their point of view now like it does help with that clarity as well doesn't it so yeah absolutely yeah how Interesting. i love this conversation.
Services and Closing Advice
00:40:00
Speaker
So what are the different things that you have at the moment to kind of, I know you obviously got your Oracle cards and your husband. is Yeah. He's just the guy that lifts the heavy boxes. Yeah, yeah. yeah
00:40:11
Speaker
So what are your other offerings that you have for people if people are like, okay, well, you know, this is kind of part of my interest. where Where can I go from here? Yeah. So online I've got um i've got sessions available, one-on-one sessions, varying times and prices. So they're on my website. I've also got courses and classes. Some are, some are you know, they're they're there and you like a but you buy them and you can start them straight away. There's an Oracle card course and a... and a fresh start course. Like and it's almost like an energy reset thing, I suppose that's on my website, but I also from time time run in-person events and that sort of thing as well. And then online occasionally I'll do, um,
00:40:47
Speaker
like mini readings or like on Facebook and Instagram and stuff. So definitely worth following me on there, on their socials because there's be lots of stuff comes through. And every weekday morning, Melbourne time, I do a, like I draw an Oracle card and just kind of give you the vibe of the day, see what's going on.
00:41:05
Speaker
Yeah. that's obviously on your socials that you do that. Oh, how awesome. So can be like, okay, this is what the day's got. Exactly. Oh yeah. That resonates for me today. That one. Yep. Yeah. Oh, that's so good. And um just before we finish, I'm just conscious of time. So if you were to leave the listeners just with one piece of advice, what would that be? Just to put you on the spot a little bit.
00:41:27
Speaker
Yeah, that's all right. It would be, ah give yourself a break like the intensity that you are feeling internally is mostly coming from you so calm the fuck down take a beautiful big deep breath in and when you breathe out deliberately feel your muscles relax and just that slight little bit of tension release you'll suddenly go oh jesus i was holding a lot of stuff But it's just unnecessary. Like if you can, if it can shift even just a little bit with that one breath, imagine what you can do if you have an energy session where things can really transform and change. I have so many people come back to me and say, God, I slept better and i'm thinking clearer and all of those things. But you can start those little changes yourself and you are definitely worth looking after and being kind to.
00:42:16
