Get ready to be captivated and intrigued as we delve into my life of spirits and all things paranormal. Join me, your host, ay Lane, on the Laneway to Spirit as I share my stories and personal experiences in the hopes of inspiring others to explore their own spirituality. Grab your favorite mug and settle in and let's get started. Hello and welcome here today. I am so happy to talk about coming out of my spiritual closet and how it happened with my husband. And the thing is it's interesting because it's really difficult when you're a psychic medium to tell a potential boyfriend that you have a gift or that you know you're sensitive to energies or you're a psychic, or you're medium or empath or whatever it is that you're gifted with. And it was difficult for me because it was something that wasn't readily accepted in other relationships that I had experienced, and so you know, men automatically thought that I could read their minds and trust me. I've been asked that so many times. But the thing is I can't. I'm not a mentalist, I'm a psychic medium. There's a big difference Now. When I met my husband, we had decided to just be very good friends because both of us had had the same kind of trust issues and we weren't really ready to start dating people, but we had agreed that we could kind of hang out together because, honestly, he was the greatest guy. We had such a great time together and over the months we had become very, very good friends. So one day he called me up and he said hey, what are you doing on Sunday? And I said right now nothing. I have no plans. So he said you know. He says why did you come over? He says and bring your tea. He says my friend Dave is coming over with his video games. And he says we're going to be playing video games. And he says I thought you know you might want to come and kill a couple hours and meet my friend Dave. And so I told him. I said that would be great, I would love to meet Dave. I met Dave. I went over that Sunday and we sat in the living room, had tea, coffee and the greatest laughs. I mean this Dave was hilarious and Brad is like a card, and so I was having a great time. I mean who the hell has to go to? Yuck, yucks, not me. I just had to go over to Brad's and be entertained by these two, right? And so we were sitting there having a great time and I decided to go to the kitchen to make myself another cup of tea.

Jay Lane: 2:56

So I'm boiling the water and getting my bag ready and everything, and all of a sudden I get this like freaking, overwhelming feeling that there's a spirit right behind me. And then I felt a mother's love and it was so overwhelming. And then I could see like this visual of like a woman riding on a horse but falling off. And then suddenly I felt like an overwhelming feeling of like despair and loneliness and I felt like I lost my very best friend. I felt like crying and I didn't know why I was feeling that and seeing these things. And then suddenly I had this like download of seeing this woman sitting on a living room floor. It was kind of somber and dark and that she was kind of rocking back and forth and being very sad and perhaps crying. You know I couldn't quite see her face, but I could see that the spirit was showing me this.

Jay Lane: 3:57

And so I'm trying to make sense of this and I'm trying not to cry when Brad walks into the kitchen. So I'm trying like to get my shit together right and I'm trying to like roll my eyes up. So my eyes are tearing up a bit. And so he comes in and he goes hey, what are you doing? And I said I'm making tea and I tried to get my back to him. So he comes around and he looks at me. He goes Are you okay? And I said oh, I'm fine. I said I'm great. And he goes what's the matter? He says you look so sad. And I said no, no, I'm fine. And he goes look. He says you're talking to Brad here. He says I know there's something wrong. He says did I say, or did Dave say anything to offend you? And I said oh my God, no. I said no, brad. I said not at all. I said you know? I said not at all. I said you know. I said I have to be very honest with you and I said it's not something that I really want to talk about here, so maybe we can wait till Dave leaves and I could tell you, like, what's going on. And he said no, jay, honestly. He says you need to tell me now. He says because Dave's going to be here for about another hour. And he says I can't wait that long. So I said to him, I said I had a vision of a woman who's giving me the impression that you really need to call your sister.

Jay Lane: 5:14

He goes, my sister. I said I think that's what I'm getting here. I said I keep on seeing a woman sitting on a floor and it's like really dark like in the living room, and I said she's like kind of rocking back and forth or crying. And I said the woman that fell off a horse when you were very young is here in spirit. And I said I'm a psychic medium. And I said I'm feeling this and I said this woman is telling me that you need to call this sister of yours. I said I'm assuming you have the one sister because we've talked about that.

Jay Lane: 5:48

And he says yes, he says she lives in Nova Scotia, jay. He says but he goes. I don't understand what you're talking about. What woman that fell off a horse? I said the woman that passed away 30 years ago. And he says well, my mother passed away 30 years ago. I said did she fall off a horse when you were about seven years old? He said yes. I said is your favorite pudding, pistachio? And then he looked at me and he went oh my God, jay, he goes. My mother used to make me that all the time. He says all the time it was the only thing she loved to make the best out of all the things she loved to make. I said well, she's telling me you need to call your sister. And he says well, jay, he says I'm going to call my sister once Dave leaves. He says but if there's nothing wrong with my sister, I don't know how I'm going to feel about all of this. He says if you understand what I'm saying. And I said to him I get it. I said but there's something going on with your sister and you need to call her.

Jay Lane: 6:50

So we walked into the living room and as we sat down, that phone rang and it rang really loud, I think louder than any phone I've ever heard. It's almost like we were really supposed to pay attention to that phone ringing. And he picked it up and he looked at the display and he said to me it's my sister. So he smiled and he answered the phone and immediately started telling his sister to calm down. She was very distraught, she had received some very difficult news and needed to talk to somebody, and the thing is she had then expressed to him that she didn't know what to do. She had been sitting on the floor in the middle of her living room just not knowing what to do. She was very, very upset and tearful and that she really was thankful that he had answered the telephone. So they talked for a bit and then I told him, after he hung up the phone, that he needed to tell her, once I was gone and once they were able to talk a little bit more, that his mother sends a message that everything will be okay and that the medical treatment and surgeries that the person is supposed to get is going to be very successful and treatment will not be required. And so he did pass along that message to her later and that's exactly what happened that person didn't require the treatment after their surgery, which was extremely and thankfully, very successful.

And so spirit comes to us in the weirdest of times, I know. For me it's constant. People ask me you know, could you turn that off? As I've mentioned before, I can't, and the thing is I really didn't want to reveal my deepest, darkest secrets and come out of my spiritual closet with Brad. But I'm so thankful that I did, because to this day I'm still with this man and if it wasn't for him and the love that he has for people. If it wasn't for him, honestly, I wouldn't even be doing this job today, because he's the one that encouraged me to quit my job and to follow my passion and to really, you know, just be who I am, and I'm so thankful.

Jay Lane: 9:17

I'm so thankful for that day that his mother came to me in spirit and made me feel so terrible, because it created a bond between the two of us, and I'm just so thankful. I'm just so thankful for my life. But I had to share that with all of you because I'm sure a lot of you must wonder if you know he asks about those things or if he has these types of experiences. But yes, we do in Ashley. So does he. He's actually very sensitive, so we will talk about that in another podcast. But thank you so much, everybody, and remember to be kind to one another. We really need to be kind to others. Life is too short to be miserable. Right, guys? Till next time. We'll talk to you real soon. Bye-bye, thanks for listening in.
