Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norri with you.
Speaker 2: We've got a very special guest for you tonight. Michelle
Speaker 2: Welch is highly accomplished in many fields. Author, I'll mention
Speaker 2: some of her books again, psychic, intuitive, business and owner
Speaker 2: of three Crystal stores in Dallas, Texas. A licensed lawyer
Speaker 2: specializing in criminal and civil law. She's also a jury
Speaker 2: selection consultant. Michelle was born and raised in Longview, Texas,
Speaker 2: in a very religious family of four, and because of
Speaker 2: her spiritual childhood, she always had a relationship with angels,
Speaker 2: God and other spiritual beings. She attended Baylor Law School,
Speaker 2: became a licensed attorney specializing in civil and criminal law,
Speaker 2: and has retained to utilize her intuitive abilities for jury
Speaker 2: selections and high profile cases. Michelle, welcome to the program.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me. I'm so glad
Speaker 3: to be here.
Speaker 2: This is amazing your background and your work. We will
Speaker 2: get into a lot of this. But when did this
Speaker 2: all start for you?
Speaker 3: It started as long as I can remember, honestly, and
Speaker 3: then for as long as I can remember, I tried
Speaker 3: to pretend like I had none of it. I was
Speaker 3: a little bitty and running around in church saying things
Speaker 3: that I probably shouldn't have been saying, singing Heart the
Speaker 3: Herald Angel sing and I'd be like, and there they are,
Speaker 3: and I'd get in trouble at her. Right. So it
Speaker 3: started when I was really little and me seeing things
Speaker 3: that we would talk about in church.
Speaker 2: Now you've got five children, you own these two crystal
Speaker 2: shops in Dallas, you were practicing attorney. Still, you're doing
Speaker 2: a podcast, and you were psychic medium as well. How
Speaker 2: do you have the time to do all this well?
Speaker 3: I think I just delegate somewhat fairly well, and then
Speaker 3: I just space it out. That's what I think I'm doing.
Speaker 3: I hope I'm doing it well and not spreading myself
Speaker 3: self to them. But that's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2: In some of these high profile law cases that you
Speaker 2: use your psyche, your intuitive ability. Tell me how that works.
Speaker 3: I do so, and usually I don't talk about it.
Speaker 3: I don't even put it on my bio. But for
Speaker 3: this book I got permission to talk about a couple
Speaker 3: of cases. And so the way I usually do it
Speaker 3: is the investigators will come to me and instead of
Speaker 3: me just cold calling and saying, oh, there's a shallow
Speaker 3: grave on the side of the road, which is what
Speaker 3: they usually hear from just about you know, the people
Speaker 3: who call in and that they don't know and they
Speaker 3: don't trust. But the interesting thing that has happened recently
Speaker 3: to me, and one of the most high profile cases
Speaker 3: that I worked on in the Dallas area that ended
Speaker 3: up being on I wasn't on dateline, but the case
Speaker 3: itself was on Dateline was a client came to me
Speaker 3: to talk about something completely different and she was wanting
Speaker 3: a mediumship reading on like how her boyfriend was killed
Speaker 3: and a friend was killed. And all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I was like, you know when you're in school and
Speaker 3: somebody's like raising their hand like pit me, teacher, pit me,
Speaker 3: pit me, pit me. Well, there was a spirit coming
Speaker 3: through to me like that, and I said, you know,
Speaker 3: I've got to interrupt this reading. Someone's coming through. And
Speaker 3: I started telling her about this girl. And it had
Speaker 3: not been broadcast. And I do know the DA's in
Speaker 3: town and the judges in town and two primarily two
Speaker 3: of the counties around Dallas, Texas, and I didn't know
Speaker 3: anything about this and I try to not watch. And
Speaker 3: I started explaining some things to her that this spirit
Speaker 3: was telling me about not wanting to be found and
Speaker 3: the reason she didn't want to be found and the girls,
Speaker 3: the person my clients jaw drops and she says, I've
Speaker 3: got to stop this reading. I need to call somebody.
Speaker 3: Will you call this family? And I said it's fine,
Speaker 3: and she wanted me to call the family of this
Speaker 3: girl who disappeared. I said, actually, no, I don't feel
Speaker 3: comfortable doing that. Fast forward. I ended up sitting in
Speaker 3: on the case. I wasn't called as a witness, but
Speaker 3: I ended up sitting in on the case observing for
Speaker 3: observing the case kind of silently for the DA's office
Speaker 3: and worked on the case. And I ended up being
Speaker 3: accurate on many of the hits that I got on
Speaker 3: the case. And that is in Spirits Unveiled. It's too
Speaker 3: salacious because of the family in the details in the case,
Speaker 3: but very much it was the body ultimately of this
Speaker 3: poor girl was found, which was needed. They did get
Speaker 3: a conviction before they found the body, but you know,
Speaker 3: they were concerned about that because it's just been a
Speaker 3: kidnapping case. We did and the girl was really sad
Speaker 3: about it, is the girl uh and happy. I guess
Speaker 3: in some ways the reason that she didn't want to
Speaker 3: be found for a while, because she said, I don't
Speaker 3: want to be found, was because her family was coming together.
Speaker 3: U that had been a little bit torn apart and
Speaker 3: with a divorce, or had been torn apart to look
Speaker 3: for her, and she was seeing things from a different perspective.
Speaker 3: She was happy that her family was coming together to
Speaker 3: search for her and that they were getting along in
Speaker 3: this search. So that was her perspective, which was compression
Speaker 3: a different.
Speaker 2: Perspective, and she was probably assuming on the other side,
Speaker 2: the longer they keep looking for her, the longer they'll
Speaker 2: stay connected together as a family.
Speaker 3: Exactly, it absolutely exactly was her perspective's so different than
Speaker 3: the perspective of what was going on here on this
Speaker 3: side with we need to prove this case, to put
Speaker 3: this guy away.
Speaker 2: Once she was discovered, her body was discovered, what happened
Speaker 2: to the family? Did they break up again?
Speaker 3: I think they'd stayed close. I think that they as
Speaker 3: far as I know from the client that because I
Speaker 3: never really did go and talk to them family. I
Speaker 3: just didn't want to be that person that rushes in here.
Speaker 3: Let me come save the day and tell you everything.
Speaker 3: The client is good friends. The family is a god
Speaker 3: parent to the client of mine as child. She said
Speaker 3: that they're doing really well and they have stayed in
Speaker 3: better contact and it's been a better relationship.
Speaker 2: So, wow, did you get your abilities from somebody in
Speaker 2: your family or were you solo?
Speaker 3: I thought I did not, And I'm very careful how
Speaker 3: I say. I would say, it's interesting because all my
Speaker 3: family on my father's side, they're all ministers, so in
Speaker 3: a way, they had abilities, but they would they would
Speaker 3: classify those as different, and I'm very respectful of how
Speaker 3: they would classify their abilities as different than mine. They
Speaker 3: would not say that my abilities are the same. They
Speaker 3: would call them the gifts of discernment and exhortation or
Speaker 3: something like that. But I did find out later and
Speaker 3: remembered that there was an aunt of mine that always
Speaker 3: taught me things about She had cards, she had herbs,
Speaker 3: she had different things. And not that I used cards
Speaker 3: and herbs or herbs, excuse me that much. That's not
Speaker 3: how I lean towards things like that. But she knew
Speaker 3: things and she would teach me things. And I do
Speaker 3: believe that that aunt had a lot of giftings that
Speaker 3: I've probably got things from. But my parents were a
Speaker 3: strange from her for much of our life until they
Speaker 3: got older, and then they got back together as far
Speaker 3: as you know, reconciling. And I think that's partially why
Speaker 3: interesting to these things together.
Speaker 2: Now you have dealt with angels, ghosts, demons, all all
Speaker 2: of the above, which are the ones that you would
Speaker 2: prefer to stay away from? I would assume the demons.
Speaker 3: Demons, and within demons, I would say a typical not
Speaker 3: a typical apart my word, I'm a specific excuse me
Speaker 3: type of demon. It's a predatory like and maybe they're
Speaker 3: all predatory, but I don't think so. I think there's
Speaker 3: some demons that are weaker and and you know you
Speaker 3: can I don't want to. I don't want to underestimate
Speaker 3: any demon, but predatory spirits. Uh. And I thought about
Speaker 3: it the other day. I was thinking again, like, really,
Speaker 3: what is predatory? Predatory is like, okay, like a tiger,
Speaker 3: you put a piece of a big old steak out,
Speaker 3: and that tiger is gonna wait around, and that tiger's
Speaker 3: gonna wait until you're somebody's not watching, and that time
Speaker 3: and you're weak, and that tiger's gonna come up and
Speaker 3: steal that steak. And but once the stay goes away,
Speaker 3: the tiger might not be as interested anymore. You know,
Speaker 3: there's as long as if there's nothing, there's no prey.
Speaker 3: And so the predatory spirits, where they're they're preying on someone,
Speaker 3: they are stalking someone, they're looking for your weakness, that
Speaker 3: to me is particularly andious those types of demons, and
Speaker 3: I will call them demons just and that's probably because
Speaker 3: of my upbringing. But good, evil, whatever you want to
Speaker 3: call it, I do believe there's both and that spectrum,
Speaker 3: and I have experienced both.
Speaker 2: Michelle tell us about your book, Spirits Unveiled.
Speaker 3: So I wrote the book because of feeling very crowded
Speaker 3: around in my energetic space. I would equate it to
Speaker 3: when the Stars hockey team first came here. They did
Speaker 3: it exhibition game, and I remember walking out of the
Speaker 3: of the game and I was all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I was just being pulled around along. I wasn't walking,
Speaker 3: and I looked around and there were some big Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboy football players walking beside me, and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: that's kind of cool, but they were I was just
Speaker 3: being carried along by these big Dallas Cowboy football players
Speaker 3: because you didn't even have to walk, and that's helped
Speaker 3: I kind of feel with spirits around all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: A lot of times I'll just feel like Pete. I
Speaker 3: look around at other people and be like, don't you
Speaker 3: realize there's all these energetic I'll call them energetic beings
Speaker 3: around us. There's all different kinds of beings around us,
Speaker 3: and don't y'all see them? Am I really that strange?
Speaker 3: Am I really the only one that feels this and
Speaker 3: feels so crowded? So finally I thought, okay, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna go all the way there. I've already told my
Speaker 3: judge friends and lawyer friends, and they handled it. Okay,
Speaker 3: you know about ten years ago, twelve years ago that
Speaker 3: I was intuitive and all of this, and they all said, oh,
Speaker 3: that explains it and laughed at me, and they're like,
Speaker 3: we get you now. And so then I wrote about
Speaker 3: this book because I thought, you know, surely some other
Speaker 3: people feel this, that there are energy beings, and if not,
Speaker 3: I want people to know that maybe they don't connect
Speaker 3: with and I certainly don't know every energetic being that's
Speaker 3: out there. It's not an encyclopedia beings. It's the one
Speaker 3: that I've been privy to in some way that I've
Speaker 3: sensed or seen, and how to deal with them and
Speaker 3: how that I've dealt with them in my life, and
Speaker 3: then stories of other people that have had to deal
Speaker 3: with them in their lives.
Speaker 2: And there's an amazing gift that you possess, what you've
Speaker 2: had since you were a child. And at what point
Speaker 2: did you realize you had the gift?
Speaker 3: I was really young, and but here's the thing, I
Speaker 3: didn't know it was a gift.
Speaker 2: I thought everybody was everybody had the psychic ability. Huh.
Speaker 3: I thought everybody is this way, and I literally this
Speaker 3: is so. I mean, this just shows time. Maybe it
Speaker 3: wasn't so bright. I literally thought like the world was
Speaker 3: a linear like it started like a ruler at my house.
Speaker 3: And then when we were going to go to Granmart
Speaker 3: and Granddaddy's, you know, Okay, here's the ruler and when
Speaker 3: we get to what point are we going to be
Speaker 3: at granmarton Granddaddy's house. So that's how I thought of,
Speaker 3: you know, here's everything was just not the flat world thing,
Speaker 3: but kind of and so and the same thing. I
Speaker 3: just thought everyone. I just assumed that everyone saw things
Speaker 3: like me, especially because and I am not slamming church.
Speaker 3: I will not do that. I will not slam other
Speaker 3: people's religions at all. I am so grateful for my
Speaker 3: upbringing and my parents. But especially when you're talking about
Speaker 3: reading about angels, you're reading about spirits, you're reading about
Speaker 3: these things. And my church was very much My grandfather
Speaker 3: was an Assembly of God preacher, so I definitely would
Speaker 3: read about these things, and so I just assumed, Okay,
Speaker 3: so everybody sees them and senses them like I do.
Speaker 3: And I will say that when I was young, I
Speaker 3: was scared of I was very scared at night in
Speaker 3: my room of the beings that I saw. And now
Speaker 3: that I'm older, I'm not really as scared. Other things
Speaker 3: scare me more. Maybe like she been breaking somebody breaking
Speaker 3: into the house or something like that scares me a
Speaker 3: little bit more. But when I was young, I really
Speaker 3: was very, very afraid. And so I think that's another
Speaker 3: reason I wanted to write the book, was so maybe
Speaker 3: if parents pick it up and they do have a
Speaker 3: child that is like me and does see things and says,
Speaker 3: I'm seeing this, and my parents knew I was, because
Speaker 3: I got sent to my room a lot for saying
Speaker 3: things maybe I shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Have said, like, you know, they just didn't understand it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, and some of them were kind
Speaker 3: of inappropriate. I mean, like I said to and my
Speaker 3: uncle was everything to me. He's my godfather. And I
Speaker 3: walked it behind him and I put my hands on
Speaker 3: his head, and I literally and I was little when
Speaker 3: I say little, maybe five six, and that's little is little.
Speaker 3: And I said, Uncle Denseil, why do you have I'll
Speaker 3: say his name, I love him dearly? I said, why
Speaker 3: do you have worms in your brain?
Speaker 2: Worms in your body.
Speaker 3: The worms in your brain, the worms in your brain.
Speaker 3: And about a month later, he was diagnosed with what
Speaker 3: they called benzene, a benzine brain tumor JEEMS at an
Speaker 3: oil company in Beaumont, Texas, and he was diagnosed with
Speaker 3: a brain tumor. And I got sent to my room
Speaker 3: because I told him he had worms in his brain.
Speaker 2: And the worms, to you, was the tumor.
Speaker 3: Right, It was the tumor stuff moving around in his brain.
Speaker 3: It was cancer in his brain. But I didn't know
Speaker 3: how to just say that as a five or six
Speaker 3: year old.
Speaker 2: That's incredible, and this ability has it enhanced itself over
Speaker 2: the years, it has honed itself.
Speaker 3: So for a while, like I said, I spent some
Speaker 3: time trying to pretend that it wasn't fair. I tried
Speaker 3: to use that logic. I did everything I could to
Speaker 3: pretend that or to prove how smart I was and
Speaker 3: how intelligent I was, and let's do the most I can.
Speaker 3: I think that's where that doing a lot comes from,
Speaker 3: to show that, you know, it's not just me being strange,
Speaker 3: that I can actually graduate from law school early. I
Speaker 3: can start trying cases, go work for the Court of
Speaker 3: Appeals at twenty four, almost twenty five years old, and
Speaker 3: then be with the DA's office at twenty five and
Speaker 3: accomplish all these things and ignore it and take these
Speaker 3: great juries. And finally had to come back to the
Speaker 3: realization that it wasn't Michelle being so smart. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: worked hard, but I was getting a lot of help
Speaker 3: on my intuition. So I had to come back around
Speaker 3: and say, it all comes together and Divine God puts things.
Speaker 3: It gives us gifts and talents for a reason, and
Speaker 3: we just need to accept them the way they are.
Speaker 2: Michelle have you ever been tricked by a spirit or
Speaker 2: a demon.
Speaker 3: I think maybe I have a great question, because I
Speaker 3: have asked myself that question. I will say that one
Speaker 3: time in my store, I violated one of my ethical codes,
Speaker 3: and I'll make it quick. I do not believe in
Speaker 3: walking up to people and saying, let me give you
Speaker 3: a message.
Speaker 2: Right, or you're gonna die or something like that.
Speaker 3: Anything like that. Young lawyers do that too. They'll get
Speaker 3: out a lot. And my daughter's graduating, by the way,
Speaker 3: this weekend from Beadorddle.
Speaker 2: School as a lawyer.
Speaker 3: Yes, good for her, graduating early, just like me. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, please, but.
Speaker 2: You know, and then she'll take the Texas bar right, yeah, yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, and so she's But but I my code of
Speaker 3: ethics from strong. I have strong ethics about what you're saying,
Speaker 3: you don't say. And I don't believe in walking up
Speaker 3: to somebody just randomly in my store and saying he
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I need a crystal for dialysis. And
Speaker 3: we sell a lot more than crystals here, but you know,
Speaker 3: I'm going to have dialysis and I dialysis, And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, could I do a little bit of
Speaker 3: reiki on you? That is I never do that. That
Speaker 3: is against my code of ethics to just ask someone
Speaker 3: out in the middle of my store. And to this day,
Speaker 3: I have had some kidney issues and in some pretty
Speaker 3: bad kidney stones, and I wonder if that was a
Speaker 3: tricks or spirit. And I know that sounds silly, but
Speaker 3: I really or I don't know, but I really struggle
Speaker 3: with it. Was that a malevolent or a benevolence spirit?
Speaker 3: Because we have gone back over and our cameras are
Speaker 3: not perfect, so I don't want to say this is proof,
Speaker 3: but we have gone back over where I went out
Speaker 3: onto that floor and we had witnesses people out there working,
Speaker 3: and that footage is not there of me going out
Speaker 3: on the floor. So either I imagined it, which I
Speaker 3: know I didn't, or it's just not there. And I
Speaker 3: look back and I just wondered, was that the tricks
Speaker 3: to spirit? Because he sure seemed very kind.
