Thank you for your healing messages

I came across this audio book on the coffee convos podcast and I am so glad I did. This book has brought a lot of healing to me and I really appreciate how real Monica was throughout her entire book. Thank you so much for your wonderful book!

Thank you!

Listening to this book has answered so many questions for me! I literally listened to this book from the second I woke up, and until I went to sleep. Once you start it you won’t stop. I think anyone that has negative options about mediums should definitely listen (or read) this.
It’ll also help answer so many questions and help heal people that have had loved ones that have passed. Thank you to Monica for writing this book ❤️

great book

I really enjoyed this book I don't understand why she kept saying box start and box end

Amazing, moving, life changing

With a voice that resonated for me with empathy, love, and healing, Monica took me on a journey I will never forget and that I will forever be grateful for.

Amazing!!!!!

Loved it so much that I had to order it for my cousin - she lost her only son & her stepfather because of a driver driving under the influence…. speech often

Thank you Monica!

Thank you for an amazing book! You have helped me with knowing my husband, who passed away 9 months ago is still with me. You have helped bring peace to my heart. Thank you Monica!

Thank you Monica for writing this book!

A great career autobiography, and a peek at the other side!

I was feeling very down, after the loss of a pet who was much more like a family member, 3 months ago. The longer my cat was gone, the worse I felt. He left behind a “daughter” (a 2 year old cat he was tightly bonded with), who still searches for him when I say his name. He was seriously ill when he found her in the yard, and I believe he brought her home her to help take care of me. I have medical issues, and he was the best service animal I could ask for, even alerting me to infections before I knew. It’s too bad they only recognize cats as Emotional Support Animals though, as a sweet blue Burmese, he was an ideal ESA, too! The loss was tremendous, and I was trying to find a way to connect with him, wherever he is now. The night before his vet visit, a cat jumped from the dresser to my pillow, then padded out of my room. My sick boy was snoring on my belly. Then I remembered the dresser was my female British Shorthair’s perch, and she would jump from there to my pillow every night. She passed away in 2017. The next day, my Burmese’s tests showed he was in terminal kidney failure, after 4 1/2 years battling CRF. I had always been skeptical of others’ claims, but I couldn’t help but feel she had come to let me know she would be back to show her old friend the way, soon. It was comforting that she was still around us, and he wouldn’t be alone. That’s why I hoped I might be able to contact him. I purchased the book, not having seen the show it is based on. It was a bit unexpected that the first several chapters were autobiographical, and all about discovering her gift and the decision to use it in a career, to help others. I do love career autobiographies and, as those go, it was pretty good. There were some things I would like to hear the author go into more depth on, perhaps in a future book. For example, why she doesn’t like to work with the supernatural, how she defines the term, and why. Also, how she defines the work she does, in contrast. There were other things like that, which I’m sure she knows the language and meaning of, but people who aren’t mediums might need a bit more background. In general, she does an excellent job of conveying what her work consists of, and how she experiences it. I just wish I’d known the book is not a grief and loss book, primarily. It does end up addressing the subject and doing it well, but there is quite a lot of personal and career background to absorb before it starts heading in that direction. In this way, the author is a typical 25 year old (at the time it was written). It’s about her life, her growth and development, and perspective. About midway through the book, she branches out into the topic of connecting with spirits, and how to do so. She provides some compelling examples and others where I think you’d have to be there to understand the significance. She seems very earnest, and not at all like a huckster. I get the sense that she absolutely believes in her ability to receive messages from the other side. Still, it does make me wonder why, when she mentions that she (like some other mediums) is usually unable to contact her own departed, but can receive messages from others’ family members and friends. It’s so counterintuitive! Some of the signs from loved ones to watch for could so easily be coincidence, such as street names or songs that come on the radio and I found myself asking how spirits could control these things. I think, in some cases, it depends on the context. Perhaps spirits can draw your attention to things that happen to be there already, at the right moment to let us know they are with us. I have had several undeniable encounters with spirits myself, and I had witnesses who spoke up about them before I did, in one very clear case, so I know there is something that lingers that cannot be explained in terms of what is known, scientifically. The author gives warnings about fake or poor mediums, and is generally so believable I found myself more open to her ideas than I have been to others. I loved the chapter about pets, and she mentions animals at other points in the book, too. She doesn’t differentiate between humans and animals, in any limiting way, which I appreciate. The book is very pet loss friendly, in that the subject matter can be applied to any departed loved one, human or otherwise. I forgot to check whether or not the author is also the narrator, but it feels like it. She does an excellent job! The way she speaks made me open to the information, and to the spirits I wish to speak with. It’s as if she’s modeling how she does it, more so than explaining. I don’t feel like I have a lot more information on how to contact spirits than before reading, but I now send thoughts and intentions out to them, more automatically. One day, I did get something back. I had missed a meal, and late meals were of great concern to my cat. I suddenly caught a smell of fish (his favorite food) and felt like he was making a suggestion. Several miles down the road, I smelled fish at a restaurant. I felt like my cat had directed me there! If it takes an effort to contact the living, I think he’d be more concerned for my stomach than anything else. It’s signs like that which are easily overlooked. I’m glad I read this, because it has helped me to maintain a constant mental openness to my loved ones’ presence.

very hard to stop listening just to go to sleep

I loved that Monica was the narrator it reminded me of watching the tv show
