Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to I've never said this before with
Speaker 1: me Tommy di Dario. Today I am joined by one
Speaker 1: of the coolest people I have ever come across. And no,
Speaker 1: it's not just because of what he does, although it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool, but it's also because of who he is
Speaker 1: as a human being. Tyler Henry is the star of
Speaker 1: the Netflix series Life After Death and continues to be
Speaker 1: the most sought after clairvoyant medium in the United States
Speaker 1: and around the world now at just ten years old,
Speaker 1: Tyler began receiving intuitive mental images with the foretelling of
Speaker 1: his grandmother's death and that's where tapping into his abilities
Speaker 1: truly began. On his first show, which was on The
Speaker 1: Entertainment it was the mega hit Hollywood Medium with of
Speaker 1: course Tyler Henry. He communicated with the other side to
Speaker 1: bring messages to stars like Rue Paul and Sophia Bergara,
Speaker 1: even Kim Kardashian and the list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: But Tyler, he mainly reads for everyday people like you
Speaker 1: and me. He brings comfort and closure and so much
Speaker 1: hope to his clients, whether it's a one on one
Speaker 1: session with Tyler or experiencing his ability on one of
Speaker 1: the stops on his amazing national tour. The bottom line
Speaker 1: is people are left better off with a little Tyler
Speaker 1: Henry in their lives. Tyler has been interviewed many, many
Speaker 1: times before by many different outlets, but today we dive
Speaker 1: into topics that Tyler doesn't quite often get to chat about.
Speaker 1: And I just personally find this interview fascinating. It is
Speaker 1: so inspiring. He is so much fun and I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the episode as much as I do. So
Speaker 1: let's see if today we can get Tyler to say
Speaker 1: something that he's never said before. Tyler Henry, my friend,
Speaker 1: how are you?
Speaker 2: It's so good to see you, My friend has not
Speaker 2: been that long. I feel like we're in touch all
Speaker 2: the time, but I'm so glad to finally get to
Speaker 2: join you.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to have you on the show. Today.
Speaker 1: We are going to dive into hopefully a very different
Speaker 1: type of conversation for you. But before we dive in,
Speaker 1: I do want you to set the stage, so just
Speaker 1: tell everybody what exactly it is that you do. What
Speaker 1: is a clairvoyant medium?
Speaker 2: Sure, so as a clairvoyant medium. To break it down,
Speaker 2: a clairvoyant is a French word that means clear sight,
Speaker 2: and it really kind of just speaks to the modality
Speaker 2: of which I receive intuitive information predominantly through very strong
Speaker 2: mental images, kind of like active daydreams. And then as
Speaker 2: a medium, that really just kind of means I'm a conduit,
Speaker 2: so I act as kind of an intermediary. Some people
Speaker 2: kind of refer them as historically as shaman, but it's
Speaker 2: just somebody who essentially relays messages from this realm into
Speaker 2: the next, and from the other realm into this one.
Speaker 1: And of course not everybody can identify with being a medium, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people can identify with
Speaker 1: struggling to figure out who they truly are and stepping
Speaker 1: into that identity. Has that been something you faced? Have
Speaker 1: you struggled over the years trying to figure out who
Speaker 1: you are?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I mean there's something to be said about identity
Speaker 2: and the courage that it takes to be able to
Speaker 2: stick with what makes us different. You know, there's this
Speaker 2: kind of cliche which I do love, which is this
Speaker 2: idea that we you know, are our superpower, that are
Speaker 2: superpower is what makes us different. And I think that's
Speaker 2: very true. We all have different aspects of individuality, to offer.
Speaker 2: Diversity is our strength. We are stronger together. But I
Speaker 2: think very often in a world that wants to mold
Speaker 2: us into a certain compliancy, it can sometimes take extra
Speaker 2: courage to be true to who one is, particularly if
Speaker 2: you know you fall into a minority category, as so
Speaker 2: many do.
Speaker 1: So what has given you the courage to be who
Speaker 1: you really are?
Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't really think of living any other way.
Speaker 2: I often think of those early days of being bullied,
Speaker 2: you know, for the very thing that now has gone
Speaker 2: on to allow me to be successful and share my passion.
Speaker 2: And you know, for me, there really was no choice.
Speaker 1: Wow, so you did? You did get bullied for this ability?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know. The question is often, you know, were
Speaker 2: you bullied more for being gayer for being a medium?
Speaker 2: And I would say, you know, both in different ways
Speaker 2: and at different times. But I think it really does
Speaker 2: speak to that idea that everybody can relate to, you know,
Speaker 2: even if you can't necessarily relate to those two things.
Speaker 2: Everybody you know deals with within the workplace, within school,
Speaker 2: maybe even within their own families, a sense of being
Speaker 2: an outsider and having to be true to who one is,
Speaker 2: or you know, the alternative is never as as meaningful.
Speaker 1: Right right, Well, and it's safe to say that today
Speaker 1: you've stepped into who you are and there's no looking back.
Speaker 1: But back then, when you were going through some of
Speaker 1: those things, and the bullying and things like that, how
Speaker 1: did you manage to push through that and not lose
Speaker 1: yourself throughout all of that? You know.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest pieces of advice I was ever
Speaker 2: given was this some told me, was you know, Tyler,
Speaker 2: that you can be the biggest, juiciest peach and there's
Speaker 2: still going to be people who hate peaches. And that's
Speaker 2: one of my favorite quotes because it really does speak
Speaker 2: to that universal truth that not everybody is for everybody,
Speaker 2: and that's okay. And I think so long as we
Speaker 2: can create our own family, you know, through bonds, through love,
Speaker 2: the love that we create, whether it be with friends
Speaker 2: or companions, you know, I think there's great value in that,
Speaker 2: in finding our tribe. But of course, you know, I
Speaker 2: try to remain open to all people. It's just kind
Speaker 2: of by nature of my job being a communicator. I
Speaker 2: get such an insight in different cultures and different worldviews,
Speaker 2: and so I'm open to it all.
Speaker 1: It's that one of your favorite things about what you do.
Speaker 2: I would say, so, I would say that by far
Speaker 2: being able to see not only the differences, but the
Speaker 2: common links, the threads that really unite all people fundamentally.
Speaker 2: And you know, people often think that people are in
Speaker 2: pursuit of closure, and I don't really necessarily think that's true.
Speaker 2: I think that closure kind of implies a period a
Speaker 2: conclusion to grief. I think what people are really looking
Speaker 2: for largely is validation. Validation that life goes on, that
Speaker 2: the love that we create, you know, has value beyond
Speaker 2: just the material world. And that really kind of speaks
Speaker 2: I think to a common soul that we all share
Speaker 2: and maybe even an inclination kind of a hint that
Speaker 2: we all know that there's something to that.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. I mean I can only imagine the
Speaker 1: different walks of life you get to meet through what
Speaker 1: you do, and how exciting it is to connect the
Speaker 1: dots with people right absolutely.
Speaker 2: I mean you can relate into interviewing so many iconic
Speaker 2: people and being able to kind of get really interesting
Speaker 2: answers from them. It really speaks to the fact that
Speaker 2: no matter where people are within SATs quo or society,
Speaker 2: fundamentally you do find people deal with the same issues,
Speaker 2: and oftentimes, as Oprah says, when you have a big life,
Speaker 2: you know, those problems that we all deal with kind
Speaker 2: of become magnified, and I think we see it often
Speaker 2: in the media and in public figures.
Speaker 1: I'm loving that you just quoted Oprah. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is the best interview ever.
Speaker 2: Already, Super Soul Sunday. I'm bringing to your baby Tyler.
Speaker 1: You brought up the word identity earlier, and going back
Speaker 1: to that for a minute, do you feel like people
Speaker 1: marry what you do being this clairvoyant medium to who
Speaker 1: you are as a human being and does that get
Speaker 1: difficult for you ever?
Speaker 2: Absolutely in the sense of yes, I do think people
Speaker 2: conflate the two. But I think that's very common in
Speaker 2: the sense that in life, we especially in nature of
Speaker 2: social media. You know, we all have bios, and if
Speaker 2: you think about it, in our bios we kind of
Speaker 2: put what we self identify as, you know, perhaps as
Speaker 2: a journalist there as a medium, where as a television
Speaker 2: personality or whatever. So I think we live in a
Speaker 2: day and age where, more than ever, labels and identifiers
Speaker 2: are kind of used to you to sum up people.
Speaker 2: With that said, I have a lot of clients who
Speaker 2: very often, I find, you know, kind of take on
Speaker 2: the role of mom or daughter. And sometimes when people
Speaker 2: identify two wrongly with any role, it can become all consuming,
Speaker 2: and we can lose sight of the fact that we
Speaker 2: are multifaceted souls having a human experience, and so not
Speaker 2: only are we perhaps you know, mother, we're also daughter,
Speaker 2: We're also a human being, we're also a soul, we're
Speaker 2: also so many other things. And it's important, I think,
Speaker 2: to see past those self identifiers.
Speaker 1: I think so too, and I think it's important to
Speaker 1: have people see you for other things than just what
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, for what you have to offer, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe in a monetary sense or in a value sense,
Speaker 2: whatever that equates to you in a societal way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we are so much more than our jobs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And it's a catch twenty two in a way,
Speaker 1: because I think when you really enjoy what you do,
Speaker 1: so much of your life does become that. But it's
Speaker 1: healthy to figure out boundaries.
Speaker 2: Right absolutely. I think it's really true integration of self
Speaker 2: when you know you can love what you do. And
Speaker 2: of course I don't know if ever anybody loves what
Speaker 2: they do all the time. You think, if you had
Speaker 2: a fifty year career, there's certainly going to be highs
Speaker 2: and lows. But yeah, as you said, finding that balance
Speaker 2: is I think the key to harmony.
Speaker 1: Highs and low. So what's a high with what you
Speaker 1: do and what's a low.
Speaker 2: High with what I do? Is leaving somebody better than
Speaker 2: I found them with the real, true validation that there
Speaker 2: was something to the experience that was real and tangible.
Speaker 2: There's a moment in time in ever reading when someone
Speaker 2: leaves as a believer where there's a switch that happens.
Speaker 2: They come in, they're not sure, they might be skeptical
Speaker 2: or might be believers, but they just don't know what's going
Speaker 2: to happen, and then you say something and they make
Speaker 2: a shift where you can see that they've integrated this.
Speaker 2: They don't know how they're going to process this information,
Speaker 2: but they know it's real, and that moment acts as
Speaker 2: kind of a catalyst oftentimes that people carry with them
Speaker 2: for the rest of their lives trying to kind of
Speaker 2: contextualize that experience and that evidence that they got. So
Speaker 2: that's my favorite part. It sends people onto a whole
Speaker 2: journey of self discovery and asking questions. The lows, I
Speaker 2: would say are the self imposed expectation I want to
Speaker 2: save everybody. You know. I've sat across from people that
Speaker 2: I've gotten intuitive readings about Alan Thick being a really
Speaker 2: good example. I sat with him and he very clearly
Speaker 2: had a medical problem come through, and I warned him
Speaker 2: about it on television and he kind of laughed it
Speaker 2: off and he said, oh, thanks, doctor Tyler. And indeed
Speaker 2: he passed away with this very issue a matter of
Speaker 2: months later, and if he had taken it seriously, it
Speaker 2: may not have happened. And so as a medium, you know,
Speaker 2: knowledge is power, but you can't fix everything. And in fact,
Speaker 2: you can't really fix anything. You just have to be
Speaker 2: a conduit information.
Speaker 1: Wow, that must be a heavy burden to Kerry if
Speaker 1: you don't know how to separate the two. So are
Speaker 1: you at a point in what you do now where
Speaker 1: you can feel those things and warn somebody about something,
Speaker 1: but then you kind of let it go and put
Speaker 1: it out to them in their life, you.
Speaker 2: Know, To be completely honest, I really am not there
Speaker 2: yet as far as mastering that. One of the greatest
Speaker 2: difficulties of my personal life is coping with the intensity
Speaker 2: of the emotion, and I when I lay down at night,
Speaker 2: I think about the people that I read and I
Speaker 2: hope they're doing okay. I think about the clients I've
Speaker 2: read that have passed. You know, all these people just
Speaker 2: kind of exist inside me, living and on the other side,
Speaker 2: and so it just kind of is who I am.
Speaker 2: I just deeply I can't separate that for better or
Speaker 2: for worse. And it certainly creates a lot of anxiety,
Speaker 2: a lot of high emotional, you know, moments, But equally,
Speaker 2: I don't think I'd have it any other way. I
Speaker 2: think it makes me empathetic and humble.
Speaker 1: So you just feel things all day and night, all
Speaker 1: day and.
Speaker 2: Night, and it just it's a reminder of the human experience,
Speaker 2: the human condition, and you know, as an interviewer you're
Speaker 2: faced with it as well as well as I'm sure
Speaker 2: GEO with seeing people who have survived true crime. You know,
Speaker 2: you realize there are people who always have it worse
Speaker 2: off and things could always be worse. And as a
Speaker 2: journalist or as a medium, we're just kind of conduits.
Speaker 1: I think for storytelling, Yeah, no, one hundred percent. Was
Speaker 1: there ever a reading you did that that made you
Speaker 1: need to take a pause and just separate a little
Speaker 1: bit from your ability.
Speaker 2: You know, every reading does require a pause on some
Speaker 2: level after to just kind of like bifurcate the experience
Speaker 2: and then trying to go back to some place of normalcy.
Speaker 2: But to kind of answer your question more specifically, I
Speaker 2: remember my reading with Anne Hash being a very very
Speaker 2: clear example of both of us kind of needing a
Speaker 2: moment of a break. You know, we since know what
Speaker 2: has tragically happened to it to Anne, and at the time,
Speaker 2: you know, the reading was very healing and very cathartic,
Speaker 2: but she got way more out of that experience than
Speaker 2: she was expecting, and she had to actually get up
Speaker 2: and leave and go into the other room and kind
Speaker 2: of just like process and you know, when she came back,
Speaker 2: she gave me a big hug and wanted to continue,
Speaker 2: and I needed to stop. I needed to stop and
Speaker 2: just kind of like collect myself because there was a
Speaker 2: lot of weight to that reading, a lot of weight
Speaker 2: to the messages. There were really clear personal messages that
Speaker 2: came from loved ones who had passed that I think
Speaker 2: really changed the trajectory of her life in that moment
Speaker 2: for the better. It let her know her loved ones
Speaker 2: were with her, watching over her, and she could get
Speaker 2: through this next step and it was just so tragic
Speaker 2: to see what unfolded after.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's incredible that you were a part of the
Speaker 1: piece though that she could receive in her life, And
Speaker 1: I think that must be a really good feeling. Is
Speaker 1: there ever a point for you where you're reading for
Speaker 1: someone and you think I might need to suggest this
Speaker 1: person goes to get some sort of help because I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if for reading is enough for their well being.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, In fact, every single reading I do, I encourage
Speaker 2: people to look into resources. I'm really a big proponent
Speaker 2: of Western medicine, which I did spiritualists to kind of
Speaker 2: get a red very Eastern. But if I get a fracture,
Speaker 2: I'm going to the hospital. So I encourage people to
Speaker 2: consider grief counseling by all means, and various things work
Speaker 2: for different people. There's so many aspects of psychotherapy that
Speaker 2: are just as subjective as the medium world, to be honest,
Speaker 2: but different things work for different people. And I really
Speaker 2: encourage people to find a sense of community through grief.
Speaker 2: I think it's very important. It's such an isolating emotion,
Speaker 2: so when you can be around others or have support systems.
Speaker 2: It really helps us get through it.
Speaker 1: Has your view of grief changed over the years.
Speaker 2: I would say, I mean almost on some level. How
Speaker 2: could it not. I think starting off as a young,
Speaker 2: even younger person at ten years old, with my first premonition,
Speaker 2: I did not understand death. I had lost a goldfish
Speaker 2: and that was about it. And then my grandmother passed
Speaker 2: and I kind of got a brief introduction, and then
Speaker 2: I lost a friend. And now as I've gotten older,
Speaker 2: you know, people start dropping like flies. So you kind
Speaker 2: of started developing a with time, and appreciation for life,
Speaker 2: a respect for death and the fragility of life. And
Speaker 2: if anything, my work has taught me the importance of
Speaker 2: I think saying it now being present to the best
Speaker 2: of my ability. You know, look, we all get road rage,
Speaker 2: we all get we all have moments where you know,
Speaker 2: we are very very human, and that's okay. But I
Speaker 2: try to also extend the compassion that I extend to
Speaker 2: others to myself. And I think that's a very important
Speaker 2: thing that people miss when we talk about spirituality and compassion.
Speaker 2: Should extend that same love and grace to ourselves, because
Speaker 2: none of us chose to be here. We're all works
Speaker 2: in progress, and I think we often forget that.
Speaker 1: That's such an interesting point. It's it's so right on,
Speaker 1: because you're someone who is so compassionate and giving of
Speaker 1: your time and your energy and your love and your
Speaker 1: thoughtfulness to other people all the time. But for yourself,
Speaker 1: that's something you have to continuously work on. Huh.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I you know, I do think we receive
Speaker 2: in giving and there's so much value in that. And
Speaker 2: so for me, you know, in many ways, my work
Speaker 2: sustains my self esteem, It sustains my own self love
Speaker 2: by being being able to act as an extension of
Speaker 2: love tell other people through the work or whether you know,
Speaker 2: it can be in many modalities. You know, charity work
Speaker 2: is always a good example, but there's so many aspects
Speaker 2: we all, I think can act as extensions of light
Speaker 2: and really help the world based on kind of growing
Speaker 2: where we're planted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Tyler. You've read for how many people? Would
Speaker 1: you say?
Speaker 2: Thousands by far? But as far as celebrities go, we
Speaker 2: read over two hundred on Hollywood medium.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean the amount of readings you've done is incredible.
Speaker 1: Is there a situation or reading you did that truly
Speaker 1: just kind of surprised you. Even I'm sure by now
Speaker 1: you see a lot of the same themes and patterns,
Speaker 1: and you know there's there's so much that you can
Speaker 1: connect the dots with, But did you ever walk away
Speaker 1: kind of like, wait a minute, what just happened? You know?
Speaker 2: They are all surprising, and people often find it surprising
Speaker 2: that I find it surprising, but it is always mind
Speaker 2: bending and stunning for me when there's a validation that
Speaker 2: comes through that is just bizarre, which I know is
Speaker 2: a bit of a generic answer, but I would say this.
Speaker 2: I did one reading actually very recently on a live tour,
Speaker 2: and this was not with a celebrity, and it was
Speaker 2: with a lady who I just got drawn to out
Speaker 2: of two thousand people, and I felt that there was
Speaker 2: a man who was coming through who had been fortunately
Speaker 2: shot from the side, and I had her stand up
Speaker 2: identified this young man he had indeed been shot from
Speaker 2: the side, identified that he had been shot from a vehicle,
Speaker 2: and this then basically unraveled into a situation where this
Speaker 2: man was a police officer and he indeed had pulled
Speaker 2: up and this man in a car had shot and
Speaker 2: killed him and right after that, this validation came through.
Speaker 2: I said, for some reason, he's having me talk about
Speaker 2: another police officer fatality around the exact same time he went,
Speaker 2: and I don't know why, but you seem to know
Speaker 2: they both are honored together. And she looked at me
Speaker 2: and she said, well, that's because the gunman also turned
Speaker 2: around and shot and killed the other police officer who
Speaker 2: was also with him. So this person into the life
Speaker 2: of the police officer and his partner, and that moment
Speaker 2: of validation knowing they were together, it was deeply jolting
Speaker 2: for everybody who watched it and witnessed it, but it
Speaker 2: showed that they were so much more than how they passed.
Speaker 2: And I think that resoundingly is the greatest takeaway. We
Speaker 2: are so much more than our worst moments. They are
Speaker 2: so much more than their cause of passing, and they
Speaker 2: deserve to be remembered for their life, not necessarily just
Speaker 2: their death.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, And that's incredible that you could again be
Speaker 1: there for someone in the way that you are there.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of misconceptions about what you do,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you get all sorts of questions all
Speaker 1: the time, but one of the biggest misconceptions, I would
Speaker 1: guess is people just assume that if they walk up
Speaker 1: to you, you're immediately going to start being able to
Speaker 1: read them. And that's just not the case, right, or
Speaker 1: is it? You know.
Speaker 2: I've given bearing answers to this because I just don't
Speaker 2: like when people walk up to me and start asking things.
Speaker 2: But in reality, there are times where it does happen.
Speaker 2: There's times where I'll I was at Nika once and
Speaker 2: a girl recognized me and I said, it's not looking
Speaker 2: good with your boyfriend, is it? And she said, oh, no,
Speaker 2: you know, I've gone to a fight and there's a
Speaker 2: whole thing, and you know, I felt bad after that.
Speaker 2: I thought, well, okay, you know, I may have been correct,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't my place to involve in the relationship,
Speaker 2: even though she kind of wanted, you know, the advice,
Speaker 2: and honestly it probably was valuable. That was the universe
Speaker 2: given her sign. Hey, maybe he's not right for you,
Speaker 2: but there's a time and a place. Yeah, right, And
Speaker 2: I try to be my of that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, So who is Tyler Henry without his abilities?
Speaker 2: Oh, Tyler kola Wine without the abilities. That's my real
Speaker 2: last name. Henry is my middle name, and I'd say,
Speaker 2: you know, for me, I think what I do and
Speaker 2: who I am have became so intrinsically connected as far
Speaker 2: as my interests, passions, and ironically identity as we've discussed.
Speaker 2: But I would say, really, my goal is always just
Speaker 2: then to be a conduit for storytelling, for conversation, and
Speaker 2: for life experience. If I can take my life, my privilege,
Speaker 2: all the blessings I've been given and kind of act
Speaker 2: as a platform for other people who might be underprivileged
Speaker 2: or who might have important stories to share with the world,
Speaker 2: then I'm really stepping into my purpose. And I really
Speaker 2: feel like you and I have a very similar kind
Speaker 2: of life lesson in that way of really acting as
Speaker 2: that conduit, quite literally a medium for stories that need
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: Told and for the people who are skeptical, because as
Speaker 1: we've talked about, there are skeptics out there, and that
Speaker 1: just comes with the territory. What do you say to them?
Speaker 2: You know, I am brace skepticism in the sense that
Speaker 2: I've read people who are religiously skeptical to scientific skeptics,
Speaker 2: and I ongoingly am very open to study of my ability.
Speaker 2: I've undergone brain scans, particularly on episode on the last
Speaker 2: season of Hollywood Medium. The last episode underwent an active
Speaker 2: brain scan of neuro feedback and was able to with
Speaker 2: doctor Hill and doctor Drew determined that there were some
Speaker 2: very real changes going on in the brain. So I've
Speaker 2: always shown a willingness to be tested under non biased circumstances.
Speaker 2: I continue to There's some very exciting work I'm doing
Speaker 2: that I can't talk about quite yet, but I definitely
Speaker 2: am working with some institutes to try to kind of
Speaker 2: quantify more So last note on that, I think really
Speaker 2: the proofs in the pudding. The nature of readings is
Speaker 2: so subjective, right, It's kind of more like falling in
Speaker 2: love or like art. It's really experiential. So some people
Speaker 2: see value in it, others don't. But I'm really more
Speaker 2: here for the people who see value in it. The
Speaker 2: people who don't, that's completely fine. It's really like art.
Speaker 2: Some people love that arts, people like, oh, I could
Speaker 2: do that at home. Yeah, and that's okay, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So that's how I approach it. Well.
Speaker 1: I think that's really healthy because then you don't constantly
Speaker 1: feel the pressure like, oh, I have to prove myself
Speaker 1: to everybody. It's like, no, you don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I try to have evidence in ever reading,
Speaker 2: but I can't because it's not necessarily coming from me.
Speaker 2: I can't force something that isn't there. So you know,
Speaker 2: either the information is compelling or it's not. And my
Speaker 2: job's just to show up and do my best.
Speaker 1: What's been your favorite celebrity reading?
Speaker 2: Favorite celebrity reading? Probably hard to say, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's such a should probably have a better answer because
Speaker 2: of mass a million times right, It varies. RuPaul was
Speaker 2: pretty cool just because this gay community, and that was
Speaker 2: pretty neat to get to kind of help somebody who
Speaker 2: helped me watching it on TV, but really anybody who
Speaker 2: just truly needs It's that's where I find the most value.
Speaker 2: When I lay my head on the pillow at night,
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about most of the celebrities I've read.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the folks who you know, no one
Speaker 2: will know the name of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do you ever think of things or do
Speaker 1: things come to you after somebody's left, And if so,
Speaker 1: how do you determine whether or not to reach out
Speaker 1: again or just kind of let that experience be what
Speaker 1: it was?
Speaker 2: You know, I would say for the most part. It
Speaker 2: requires discernment. Like anything, I try to get it all
Speaker 2: out when I sit with a person. When I do
Speaker 2: a reading, if I start getting information coming through, it
Speaker 2: tends to kind of be like a breadcrimb trail, and
Speaker 2: so once I get to a certain point in the reading,
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I have let it all
Speaker 2: out or the majority out, and that's when I can
Speaker 2: conclude the reading. There's times where that happens at forty
Speaker 2: five minutes that's before been also times where it's happened
Speaker 2: it six hours into a reading. I sat with Carmen
Speaker 2: Electra for I want to say about five to six.
Speaker 1: Hours, so it's a long time.
Speaker 2: Try to get it out when I can get it out,
Speaker 2: and then when I leave, that minimizes the chances of
Speaker 2: stuff coming after. But it does happen, and when it does,
Speaker 2: I make a phone call.
Speaker 1: What is the recovery like after five six hours?
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I will even listened to really heavy metal,
Speaker 2: like really loudly in my ears, which is funny because I'm,
Speaker 2: you know, Twink of the Century over here. But I
Speaker 2: listened to like Trent Reznor out of Castrass, like really
Speaker 2: like grungey loud ro music, and it helps kind of
Speaker 2: just cleanse my mind, or I'll just be in complete
Speaker 2: solitude and silence, and that creates kind of an inversion
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: We love a good moment of silence.
Speaker 2: That's right, moment of silence, moment of rock.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's incredible. You are a badass rock star.
Speaker 1: Who knew.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Well, you've been also selling out on your
Speaker 1: national tour. I've seen you popping up all over the place.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you were recently in you and
Speaker 1: didn't call us. I'm gonna let that slide.
Speaker 2: No, you were there in spirit. I could feel it.
Speaker 2: I just brought you through.
Speaker 1: Tommy, Oh my gosh. I don't even know if we
Speaker 1: were in town, but I was like, as in New
Speaker 1: York too. Oh my god. I wish FA cauld hang out.
Speaker 1: But tell me what the tour is like. It looks incredible.
Speaker 2: It's really a lot of fun. You know. It varies
Speaker 2: from anywhere from eight hundred sometimes three thousand people. I
Speaker 2: personally prefer the smaller audience just because I feel it's
Speaker 2: a little bit more intimate, but it's really special. I'm
Speaker 2: going to be coming in November thirtieth to Anaheim, as
Speaker 2: well as December first, so I have two dates coming up.
Speaker 2: I think we have about six shows left this year,
Speaker 2: so for people who are interested, they could check it
Speaker 2: out over my website. But overall, it's just really been
Speaker 2: an incredible experience to get to travel. It really represents
Speaker 2: I think that idea of being able to connect to
Speaker 2: diversity and storytelling. I go to rural places. You know Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: you know I've gone to Missouri. I'm going to Mississippi.
Speaker 2: There's so many different important lessons to be learned through grief,
Speaker 2: and I think so many people have stories that just
Speaker 2: go untold. So to be able to have a platform
Speaker 2: and a place where people can congregate together, I think
Speaker 2: it really allows for an outlet for grief and to
Speaker 2: know that even if you get a reading or don't,
Speaker 2: we are still together, not necessarily through our loss, but
Speaker 2: through our love and through that shared connection and reverence
Speaker 2: for those who came and went. So there's something powerful
Speaker 2: about that in the sense that I think society doesn't
Speaker 2: have a lot of outlets for collective grief, and these
Speaker 2: shows kind of act as a way to come and
Speaker 2: be a part of the experience and also laugh and
Speaker 2: have a surprisingly happy time on a very heavy sybtom.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And these tours seem like they're probably something
Speaker 1: really fun for you to do because you reach so
Speaker 1: many people at once.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's really cool to be well. Even if I
Speaker 2: don't necessarily read everybody in the audience, is it's impossible.
Speaker 2: I really say, there's something for everybody in every reading.
Speaker 2: And I'm a big believer that one of the biggest
Speaker 2: signs our loved ones give us our meaningful coincidences or synchronicities,
Speaker 2: and very often we find the people who get red
Speaker 2: kind of coincidentally ended up there. And so I believe
Speaker 2: that everyone who attends, you know, is exposed to a
Speaker 2: message for a reason. I encourage people to take what
Speaker 2: resonates and leave the rest. You know, there's a reason
Speaker 2: I think that information's being brought into someone's atmosphere.
Speaker 1: And I like that it makes you so accessible. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have a waiting list. I think last time I
Speaker 1: saw was over six hundred thousand people or something that
Speaker 1: crazy like that. I mean, that is so many people.
Speaker 1: So at least at an event, people can get that
Speaker 1: access and interaction and see you physically, which is amazing.
Speaker 2: It's my favorite thing in the world. I love to
Speaker 2: go out into the audience when there's stairs, I like
Speaker 2: to hug people and I go out. I haven't crowdsurfed yet,
Speaker 2: but we're working on it. I have a lost little weight,
Speaker 2: so I think it should be a little easier now.
Speaker 2: But now I feel so so privileged to be able
Speaker 2: to see the joy and I think I know you
Speaker 2: can relate people who are fans of you. You know,
Speaker 2: just the joy that you can bring to people when
Speaker 2: they see you, they're like, oh my god, ah, And
Speaker 2: it's so weird as a little nerd who got bully,
Speaker 2: I'm with you elicit that reaction to people were very
Speaker 2: excited to see you versus wanting to the deck you right, yeah,
Speaker 2: And for me, that's unusual. So I'm always pinching myself
Speaker 2: and just eternally grateful for everyone who has supporting me,
Speaker 2: yourself included.
Speaker 1: Of course, you deserve it. You are such a pure person,
Speaker 1: and you're helping so many people and bringing that joy,
Speaker 1: like you just said, to so many people. When you
Speaker 1: think about what you do and your ability overall, what
Speaker 1: makes you the happiest, Like, what are you the most
Speaker 1: proud of?
Speaker 2: I was proud of, you know, I would say for
Speaker 2: me on my Netflix show, one of my favorite parts
Speaker 2: that was explored was a family mystery of my own.
Speaker 2: And for those who don't know, my mom was taken
Speaker 2: as a baby and ultimately the person who took her
Speaker 2: ended up murdering two people and serving thirty over thirty
Speaker 2: years in prison, and it was a big thing that
Speaker 2: we explored on the Netflix show. But what was so
Speaker 2: special for me was in that show to be able
Speaker 2: to display my aunt and uncle who are African American,
Speaker 2: my uncle who was falsely imprisoned at the age of eighteen,
Speaker 2: and to be able to hear his story and to
Speaker 2: be able to act as kind of a platform for
Speaker 2: that I think was not only timely but necessary. It spoke,
Speaker 2: you know, his story was so valid with police brutality,
Speaker 2: with our current justice system, incarceration, and so to be
Speaker 2: able to almost vindicate him, to allow him to tell
Speaker 2: his story of what his mother made him do under
Speaker 2: threat of death, was so powerful compelling. This was a
Speaker 2: young man who was still a child, who wanted to
Speaker 2: be a police officer, and he found himself manipulated by
Speaker 2: his own mother to bury a dead body too in fact,
Speaker 2: and so to go back to the scene with him
Speaker 2: to process that was so healing, and I think spoke
Speaker 2: to a larger conversation of tolerance and not judging a
Speaker 2: book by its cover and understanding that we all have
Speaker 2: pain and trauma and we're all biting a battle often
Speaker 2: that nobody truly knows about.
Speaker 1: That's a super powerful thing to bring up because we
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with somebody in their life,
Speaker 1: and it's so easy to judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 1: And I imagine through the work you do, you've really learned,
Speaker 1: not that you ever were a as a mental person,
Speaker 1: but you probably have learned that that's not a way
Speaker 1: to live.
Speaker 2: It's really interesting. We all have preconceptions, right, and I
Speaker 2: think by humans are comfortable with labels, and I think
Speaker 2: labels oftentimes are a way that we make sense of
Speaker 2: the world. But my work has taught me that there's
Speaker 2: so much nuance, that life is not just black or white,
Speaker 2: that there are so many shades of gray and so
Speaker 2: many variations, and that that's not a bad thing. That
Speaker 2: ambiguity is something I can actually be comfortable with. I
Speaker 2: don't have to be certain or really hold onto any
Speaker 2: belief strongly about a person, or about myself or about
Speaker 2: the universe, that I can just be okay with the
Speaker 2: nature of the way things are and focus on love
Speaker 2: and not get too wrapped up in the trivial things.
Speaker 1: Tyler, do you think we all have a little bit
Speaker 1: of our own intuitionbsolutely.
Speaker 2: We all get a first impression when we shake our hands. Everybody,
Speaker 2: you know gets a feeling I think when they walk
Speaker 2: into a room, be it how they're perceived or perhaps
Speaker 2: the feeling of what might be around. And I think
Speaker 2: it's often an evolutionary perk that many have. And for
Speaker 2: those who have survived near death, there are so many
Speaker 2: stories of their intuition giving them indications. As we've seen
Speaker 2: the geos know true crime stuff and make it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have stories of people kind of getting
Speaker 2: those red flags.
Speaker 1: Got feeling one undred percent? Oh my god, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really remarkable what people feel and can
Speaker 1: sense if they allow themselves to tap into that, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And half of it's just believing it and showing
Speaker 2: a willingness to go with it. You know. We all
Speaker 2: get feelings, and some deserve weight, some don't. But that
Speaker 2: discernment helps us, I think, navigate life with a deep
Speaker 2: inner compass that can really act as a valuable tool
Speaker 2: when we need practical help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, teller, you are a wall of energy.
Speaker 1: I feel like, first of all, I don't even know
Speaker 1: if you ever sleep. Do you sleep?
Speaker 2: I know, I actually hang upside down from my room
Speaker 2: like you know, K. I don't even close my eyes.
Speaker 2: They stay open. That's why they're so like droopy.
Speaker 1: I would believe you don't sleep, though, Really, what do
Speaker 1: you get like three hours a night?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well no, I yeah. My dog unfortunately was
Speaker 2: like had a er vet thing at three in the
Speaker 2: morning last night. So and I I was on an earlier,
Speaker 2: good good day la this morning, so I've been bright
Speaker 2: and early and bushy tails. But I was so excited
Speaker 2: to get to talk to you, and it's just it's
Speaker 2: made my day.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm living for everything you're doing right now.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's such a gift to have you
Speaker 1: in this world, and I like that. Hopefully today people
Speaker 1: have gotten to know you a little bit deeper, a
Speaker 1: little bit more personally, because there's so many layers to
Speaker 1: who you are aside from just the work that you do.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what's really interesting. And I don't
Speaker 1: think you could be who you are doing the work
Speaker 1: that you're doing if you didn't have those layers. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I got to be a fully formed person, especially
Speaker 2: when you're dealing with other people.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I think it's so funny. I think
Speaker 1: we were at dinner. God, I don't even know. Was
Speaker 1: that two years ago when we all had.
Speaker 2: Dinner going on? Yeah, about a year and a half,
Speaker 2: I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were at dinner and I asked you a
Speaker 1: question about your energy. I'm like, how do you release
Speaker 1: that energy? And you said something so interesting and you said,
Speaker 1: you actually will feel like if you don't do readings,
Speaker 1: it's like pent up and it's bubbling. Talk to me
Speaker 1: about that for a second.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, if I don't do readings, it kind of
Speaker 2: builds up. And I call it jokingly spiritual constipation, because
Speaker 2: that's really what it feels like. I'm able to kind
Speaker 2: of blow off this necessary steam by having a time
Speaker 2: and a place to do readings, allocating appointments, and so
Speaker 2: long as I kind of allow that sacred time and
Speaker 2: sacred space, it allows me some sense of normalcy and
Speaker 2: kind of bifurcation as I go about my day to
Speaker 2: day life and go to the store and go upund
Speaker 2: my routines. There are always exceptions. There's still times where
Speaker 2: stuff pops in and I can't help it. But it's
Speaker 2: at least been my way of maintaining normalcy and not
Speaker 2: losing my mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm sure your boyfriend Plane appreciates that.
Speaker 2: I think so. He definitely does. He's like, Tyler, you
Speaker 2: need to do a reading. It's been a couple of days, right,
Speaker 2: you can feel like.
Speaker 1: Bring that ball of stress home? Do not bringing home
Speaker 1: to me?
Speaker 2: Tyler Tog's head spinning around, pea soup shooting. Now you
Speaker 2: need to do a reading.
Speaker 1: Well, I think also, it's fascinating that you are in
Speaker 1: this amazing, beautiful relationship because people probably wonder, like, how
Speaker 1: does that work out? Is it? Is it just like
Speaker 1: any other relationship or is it different by nature of
Speaker 1: what you do?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, no, noly. The funny. The great thing is,
Speaker 2: I think one of my favorite things about him is
Speaker 2: he views me as a human being more than a medium.
Speaker 2: And I love and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Speaker 2: And I think that that's one of our best qualities
Speaker 2: is while he does care about readings and cares about work,
Speaker 2: he just wants to make sure I'm okay first and foremostly,
Speaker 2: and having someone that loves you for you versus necessarily
Speaker 2: your role, as we discussed earlier, is so essential and
Speaker 2: I encourage anybody in their lives to kind of ask, like,
Speaker 2: with those that we love, are we loving them for
Speaker 2: who they are? Or are they we loving them for
Speaker 2: they're providing for us? And I think hopefully we love
Speaker 2: them for they are?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And you two have a beautiful, beautiful love story.
Speaker 1: We love cheering you you boys on from afar Oh,
Speaker 1: We're always cheering you on. And for everyone listening who
Speaker 1: wants more information on how to connect with you or
Speaker 1: things are involved with, tell me about Fireside by the
Speaker 1: Collective absolutely.
Speaker 2: Firesides have been a wonderful platform that's been created by
Speaker 2: Flon for Tummy and Mark Cuban, and it's basically been
Speaker 2: an opportunity to kind of create an interactive almost like
Speaker 2: visual podcast, but in my case, I use it through
Speaker 2: a platform called The Collective, which is a membership service.
Speaker 2: Through Fireside, you download an app where you can check
Speaker 2: it out on your desktop and basically we go live
Speaker 2: twice a month. We do group virtual readings that go
Speaker 2: anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours,
Speaker 2: so we connect people all over the world from the
Speaker 2: comfort of their own home. Readings are unedited, you can
Speaker 2: see the process live and in person. It's all recorded
Speaker 2: so you can go back and watch the readings and
Speaker 2: it provides hours of entertainment. And then we also do
Speaker 2: private reading giveaways, interviews with experts on Chelsea Hammler on
Speaker 2: which was a lot of fun to kind of talk
Speaker 2: about the relationship with comedy and grief. So there's so
Speaker 2: many interesting things to come and we've created a really
Speaker 2: beautiful community.
Speaker 1: How do people find that.
Speaker 2: You can check that out over at the Tyler Henry
Speaker 2: medium dot com. I don't talk about myself in their
Speaker 2: person It's just I lost the domain name. But that
Speaker 2: is all of our tour dates, as well as information
Speaker 2: on the collective, which you can check out through fireside.
Speaker 2: If you check out fireside on on I Google it,
Speaker 2: It's technically not fireside dot com because I think that
Speaker 2: was also taken, but just look up fireside. It's a
Speaker 2: little purple app.
Speaker 1: Purple app guys look up for it. That's great, And Tyler,
Speaker 1: last question for you. This show is called I've never
Speaker 1: said this before, and I'm wondering, what is one thing
Speaker 1: that you have never said before.
Speaker 2: I gave this some thought, okay, and I want to
Speaker 2: say I want to say that I've never said that.
Speaker 2: Hear me out how I mean this. I heard a
Speaker 2: ghosts say hello to clar and I in the shower.
Speaker 2: Now bear with me. There's meaning to this. Okay. You
Speaker 2: might be like, what the heck, that's weird. This happened
Speaker 2: to me and I've never shared this because it happened
Speaker 2: a few years ago. But to be very very concise,
Speaker 2: I was sent it in the shower and I was
Speaker 2: at a very low point in my life, and I
Speaker 2: was talking to Clint and was expressing out loud if
Speaker 2: I was doing right. By the other side, I was saying,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like i want to make sure
Speaker 2: I've done everything right. I want to make sure I'm
Speaker 2: doing enough readings. I want to make sure that I'm
Speaker 2: not going to give up like I feel like I
Speaker 2: want to do right now. And just as I said that,
Speaker 2: between us both something said how we both jumped out
Speaker 2: of the shower. I've out cocked on my head. But
Speaker 2: the reason I share that story is not because I'm
Speaker 2: really giving you the X ray to details. It's more
Speaker 2: because the timing spoke to the value of the message.
Speaker 2: I was going through a time of deep interpersonal questioning
Speaker 2: and turmoil, and all it took was a little nudge
Speaker 2: from the other side, a little hello, to introduce me
Speaker 2: into a sense of validation that I was on the
Speaker 2: right track. And so I encourage people out there for listening,
Speaker 2: listen to those coinstances, look at the timing of when
Speaker 2: they happened, because they might be giving you guidance. You
Speaker 2: don't even realize.
Speaker 1: All it took was a hello, Hello.
Speaker 2: From the shower. I really wish they would have waited
Speaker 2: for me to dry off.
Speaker 1: Did you get a visual of what that person may
Speaker 1: have looked like at one point?
Speaker 2: That was the weird thing.
Speaker 1: It was just a Hi, that's amazing, Okay, it was
Speaker 1: me and that was me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know if a megaphone.
Speaker 1: Tyler, that's awesome. Thank you for sharing that, and thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on today and sharing your light with
Speaker 1: everybody who's listening. You are seriously such a light in
Speaker 1: this world. And G and I are just so happy
Speaker 1: we have connected and that you boys are a part
Speaker 1: of our lives.
Speaker 2: Likewise, and you as well so much what you do.
Speaker 2: I just I love being able to watch every single thing,
Speaker 2: every interview. You shed your light everywhere and you go
Speaker 2: so thank you for having me.
