Speaker 1 (00:00):
A noy Hones and of youew.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are with Susan Allen. You're not only a medium,
but you're also an animal medium, which is very exciting
to me.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
That's so cool. Yeah, I do both. I started just
pure animals.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, well, let's let's get into it. Then. How did
you find out that you had this ability?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Always had this huge connection with animals since I'm a
little girl, since like five years old, I would just
light up all the time, as a lot of little
kids did, you know. But I think it was more
for me in the sense that when things would be
upsetting at the house or you know, my parents were
always fighting, an Italian family in New York, you know,
(00:48):
just fighting and arguing, my dad would throw me in
the car and take me to the petting zoo and
it was there that I found relief. And so as
time went on, I just had this incredible love for animals.
Wanted to get involved with horses. Go tell a little
girl from Brooklyn, you can't have a horse, you know.
Years later I made it happen and just spent a
(01:11):
lot of time at a barn with a horse named Leo.
He started to give me messages. I thought I was
really crazy, and I thought, geez, there's cameras up here.
Could I'd be alone with him and I'd be journaling
everything that he was telling me. People are going to
think I'm really crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I was always worried about I was always different. Add
to that, now you're talking to animals. I was always
a highly sensitive person. It was shortly after that this
whole evolution with this horse and learning about him and
being accurate apparently with the people that owned him. I said,
you open to this. I journaled about this horse and
(01:52):
would you I do care? And they were like really
into it, and that was kind of like my first client.
And then fast forward shortly after that, I took this
animal communication class on my iPad recovering from major surgery,
and everybody in the class was calling me for readings,
including a veterinarian that still calls me today, you know,
(02:14):
twenty years later. So that's kind of how that developed.
And I was still doing it, you know, on the side,
because I didn't want to give up my day job,
so I was doing it under my maiden name, so
nobody could quote unquote find me, you know, or make
a connection. And then I was doing a reading for
a rock star's girlfriend, famous rock star. She got my
(02:37):
name through a little shop in Santa Monica that I'd
occasionally go into and do animal readings, and she was
always calling me for the cats, and across the room
the photo of my dad and I my dad was
in the spirit world at this point started a morph
into somebody else, and it wasn't frightening and scary. It
was very mellow, very subtle. And then the man from
(03:01):
the other side started to communicate with me that he was,
in fact to this woman's dad. I think that was
more shock than her because she apparently probably talked to
him before, but it was her dad, and he communicated
that he was sorry and he didn't get to say goodbye.
He told me it was his heart. He showed me
(03:22):
how thin and fit he was, and he had these
very big glasses on, like very designer esque, you know
New York style glasses that the men wear. And he
was a famous fashion designer in Manhattan. And he died
in spin class at five am in the morning. So
that's kind of how it started. And I just I meditate,
(03:45):
and I talked to the spirit worlds, you know, in
my meditation, and I said you know, if this is
how you want to communicate with me, I can handle
this as long as you don't freak me out and
walk through the house and make noise and don't scare
the living you know what out of me. This could
be a thing like I could really start talking to
the other side. And you know, it was like beautiful
(04:07):
entry into mediumship. Wasn't looking for it to think I
could do it. Thought everybody else had the gift, and
I did in other mediums, and I just really took
off with that, you know. So I do both.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I want to get into more human spirits, but I
want to ask a lot of pet questions. If that's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
When you are communicating with pets. Right, Do you think
you are the many few that have this ability, because
like when I look at one of my dogs, I
feel like the dog is talking to me, tell me
what it wants, and then I'm trying to communicate back
through my head to back to the dog. The dog
(04:52):
is not hearing me, or maybe the dog does hear
me and is not paying attentionion.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think everybody has abilities. I think I was born
this way. I think it's second generation not third generation. Sorry,
my grandmother had the gift, but she didn't really use it.
It kind of scared her. But if you did some
developmental classes and mostly meditated and spent a lot of
time meditating, because I meantor people how to do this,
(05:18):
and I have like a unique way of doing it,
Like I didn't need to spend thirty years in a
spirit circle with other people because I'm so sensitive that
it would have been harder on me to do it
that way. So I think, if you have a unique love.
But here's the thing, going back to the question. I
never trusted my own communication with my pet unless I
(05:39):
could feel my body change like it did during a reading.
And that's when I had true communication with my own pets,
because they have a mind of their own. There's free will.
It's not like you can call an animal communicator and say,
you know, make my dog walk ten feet and turn
around and look at me. It just doesn't work like
(06:00):
you know, it's you're getting an essence of the soul
of the pet through pictures, stories, sounds, and you get
like all this information brought to you from the soul
of the pet. So it's not like the way that
I communicate is not static. It's not like your dog
(06:23):
said he liked bones, and your dog said he liked walks,
or your dog said you gave him this. I don't
communicate like that. When I communicate to a dog, my
readings are very very similar, if not the same, as
when I'm talking to a deceased person. That dog has
a soul, and that soul is communicating on the same
(06:45):
level as a person.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Would I have a question, and you don't have to
use your abilities. I had a stepmom that owned a
horse and the horse's name was Jaguar, And since the
horse has passed, I was always one wondering was the
horse upset by being called by a different animal that was?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's an interesting thing to name a hor. I was
just thinking, like, yeah, a horse Jaguar. I think that
horse was very well taken care of by her, so
I think she definitely she could probably call him anything.
You know, it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's just a random thought that I had.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did you have a connection with that horse as well? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I love that horse. Do you know what? In the
stable they had a bunch of mini horses, huh, And
one of them was called Buttercup and so, but it
is tied to a bad memory. Oh, nothing bad happened
to the to the mini horse. But I went into
a Fourth of July parade with one of the horses
(07:44):
and I'm all dressed up in cowboy gear in red,
white and blue, and a spectator pointed at me and said, hey,
look at that fat kid. Oh it was a bad memory,
but I still enjoy those horses.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
People are so mean. I know this is probably why
I gravitated to horses. I was a fat kid too,
so I get it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, it was an odd memory to have, but again,
still enjoyed being around the horses. I want to go
into some positive things that I have. I have two
French bulldogs. I see you're a pug person. That is
a cousin of the French bulldog, right, I actually have a.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
French bulldog rescue and the French sheet. I was just
it's so funny because my Schnauzer died a year after
my mom, and it was like recapitulation of all the
losses prior to that dog. It was so awful for me,
and the dog ends up dying and the same thing
my mother dies of the same cancer. It was really strange.
(08:43):
You know, because of their healers. So I waited eighteen years,
and all of a sudden, I saw this frenchie in
early two thousand and I fell in love and I
started researching French she is in two thousand and two,
like when other women were looking at blue batons and
you know those famous shoes. I'd be on the internet
(09:04):
at eleven o'clock at night researching friendshees and I learned
everything I could for years, and then they were so expensive.
I thought, this is nuts. I'm not going to buy
a five thousand dollars dog. Well yeah, when I was
selling real estate Maldu, which I absolutely hated, I went
in store to buy a cat toy and she had
(09:26):
friend cheese and they sent me home with one and
said test it out over the weekend and we won't
charge a credit card. You can come back on Monday
if it doesn't work out. So that was my first
friend sheet and that was my soul pet, the dog
that really showed me who I really was and who
I'm supposed to be. And so I'm a big friend
sheet lover too. But now I have a few friend
(09:48):
sheee and a rescue pugs. I know, friend She's like crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I have one who I feel I can communicate with,
and the other one is a Tasmanian devil. There's yeah.
You talked about memory of your first vision with the photos.
What was your second experience like to know that this
might be a consistent thing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
My first really very prolific reading was with that horse
that I was working on in Malibu, and I would
just write down everything he was saying. And then when
the woman that was using him for the show rang,
you know, she came to visit him. While I was
massaging him and rooming him, I said, I wrote some
(10:33):
stuff down, do you want to hear it? And I
walked her to her car and I read everything to her,
like in details about her him. She turned white, ran
to her car, ran back and stuffed this huge water
cash in my hand and said, you have an amazing gift.
And she's still in my life, and she's probably eighty
one years old now and she's still riding horses. The
(10:53):
first experience was really with that horse. And then when
I started doing pet readings, so I did a reading
for this woman and she was a bookkeeper, and the
dog came in and said, I'm really worried about her.
She's breathing so heavy. What am I going to do?
They're not taking me out, They're making me go in
the backyard. It's all cement. I need a walk. And
he was like so nervous, Like I was nervous. So
(11:16):
I did the reading, and she said, I took on
twenty extra hours at my job. I'm sitting all day.
I haven't walked the dog. I just let him out
in the courtyard of my condo. It's all cement. And
I'm probably breathing bad because I'm not sleeping or exercising well.
So within like twenty minutes of that reading, she did
(11:38):
a video of her outside in the dark with the dog,
and then they contacted me. Her husband was a horse
trainer at Santa Anita Raceway here in California, and they
asked if I would come down. You know, I'm still
working for free. They asked if I could come down
and talk to this horse that just wasn't winning. And
(11:59):
I thought, oh, I loveses. I'm so sensitive though, I'm
not sure this is going to work out, but I'll go.
So I see this beautiful you know, Mayor come out
and she didn't look drugged, and she didn't. She looked happy,
and I started communicating with her, and I said, you
know you're you know, listen, nobody's going to believe that
I'm talking to you. Can you just show them that
(12:21):
we're having a conversation by winning, okay? And I said,
I'd really like people to think that this is really happening.
And I said, why aren't you winning? And she said
because I'm just a number to him, and I'm like
one of so many he trains. And I'm like, I
don't think that's true, because they contacted me just to
talk to you, so I think you really are important
(12:43):
to them. So it ended. The reading ended. It was
just like a few minutes. I didn't tell them anything,
but I went and I bet on.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Her nice and she placed, oh that's sweet. And then
I think I have the track every day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
But I really didn't want to go there again, and
for good reason, because the horses look trucked up.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I mean, yeah, songs.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are hanging out, they're high as all get out, but
she wasn't. And I felt this was a good guy,
a good trainer, you know, and that's why I did it.
So I don't think i'd be going back there again.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Man, I personally would be at the track constant. So, oh,
do you know what question I've actually never asked a medium.
Do mediums get sad when people pass away?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's a good story, you know. I'm just checking in
with my brother that crossed into the spirit world in October.
He hit his head and got a brain injury.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And that scares me because I'm not even joking. I
do that a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do you fall down and hit your head?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh god, well I don't think I think you're going.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
To be okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
What happened was I was in England. I decided to
finally attend Arthur Finley's School, which is like the Hogwarts
for mediums, for professional mediums, and it's in the UK.
It was a big trip. I had studied with all
those teachers, all the top teachers at Arthur Finley, Navis
Patilla being my favorite teacher. I studied with her for
(14:19):
a week in the very beginning of this being able
to do a platform mediumship. I went there for a
week just to like check it out, and it was
a wonderful place for budding mediums or you know, people
coming up in the spirit realm. You know, it's a
great place. Food isn't great, though, but everybody jokes about it.
(14:42):
I knew my brother was slurring. I knew he had
a brain bleed, but it was under control. And all
of a sudden, I'm doing reading for somebody in the
class because we're doing speed readings, like speed dating. So
we're all like going like down a row, like twelve
people on each side. You're facing the and you're giving
readings like fast, which it's just to make you sharp,
(15:04):
you know. I was beginning and reading for this woman
and my brother. I'm having a whole conversation with my
brother and he's like, I'm really frightened. I don't like this,
blah blah blah, And I'm like, don't worry. You know,
you could choose to stay or you can choose to go.
It's going to be like being alive when you cross over.
It's going to the only thing is you don't have
a body anymore, so you can't feel or hug, but
(15:26):
you can experience all of what you see here and
have here accept more because your body is free. You're free,
your soul is free. You don't have a body. So
I was like, wow, that's weird, Like I wonder if
he's doing okay. And then fast forward, I come home
two days later, I get a phone call from my
other brother to say that he's they're talking. Then he's
(15:47):
in bad shape. And the next time I connected with
him was through meditation. He came to me. I wasn't
trying to connect with him because I really didn't know
where he was at this point, and he said, oh
my god, it's so beautiful, it's so wonderful. I'm so
happy here now. The problem my face was he was
my older brother and he was the one that always
(16:08):
I always called for business advice, for any advice, like
he was just so solid. He was a very, very
bright guy. And I knew that he wouldn't want to
be here if he couldn't use his brain. And it
was communicated to me by your girlfriend that was a
medium that didn't know what he did, and she said,
he said, you know, he wouldn't want to be here
(16:29):
if he couldn't use his brain. And it would make
so much sense to me because he was so he
was a brainiac, a problem solver. So we grieve because
we missed that physical loss, and yet it is like
a telephone to the spirit world. It takes a bit
more work for me when I communicate with him with
(16:50):
specific questions because it isn't always as clear. It's like
with my own pet. Like you said, you wanted to
talk to your own pet, make sure that they hear
you and get a clear communication. It's kind of like
a surgeon won't perform surgery on their own family when
when it's our own pet or our own family members,
(17:11):
we kind of doubt and we fear that we're getting
the wrong message. So it's like you want to use
somebody else. Most of us want to use other people.
But clearly, since I've been doing this work and I
have my own connections, I barely the psychic getings or mediumship.
It's just if I hear somebody's like amazing, or it's
(17:33):
a friend of a friend. I just I like to
see other people work and support other individuals that are
in this field.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Do you have to get a visual of the animal
before or can you just speak to the person and
know its presence.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Sometimes, but to get a really good reading, for me,
I like looking at the eyes of the pet, so
it doesn't have to be a brand new picture because
you know, like the eyes are like the soul. Yeah,
So I like looking at pictures and I like looking
through the eyes. So that's the short answer. The long
answer is when I do like large group events I
(18:07):
have I have a big event coming where we do
a large group event over the Rainbow Bridge, but I
give messages to people from their pets that have departed
and living. My assistant gathers the photos before. I like
to look at the photos before, like during the event,
I like to shoot around and feel the energy of
(18:28):
who wants to communicate. But if I have like a
medium session with a person, I can see in the
spirit world the animal. Like I did an event. It
was a personal soul speak event where I just was
talking to a large group and I went to this
woman and I said, why would your husband he was
obviously departed, and she goes, yeah, yeah, that's my husband.
(18:51):
And I said, he's showing me he's not riding a
Harley Davidson, but he pulled a Harley Davidson right into
my field, you know, for fast validations from her. And
she goes, oh my god, that's my dog Harley that
just crossed over. So if they know I'm not going
to get the name or I can't hear the name,
(19:12):
they know my frequency at the moment, they'll they'll give
me an image.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The reason I'm asking is because sometimes my dogs are
two hundred miles away from me. And let's say, if
I had the ability, do you think I could talk
to them?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah? Yeah, of course. I mean I talked to dogs
in Australia. I mean, I'm pretty for Australia. Love is
the real connector here. You know. You love these animals,
so they're so connected to you no matter where you go.
I mean I remember Billy Corgan called me and I
was on the phone with them, and he's about to
leave and he doesn't want to leave his cat. That's sick. Yeah,
(19:47):
And I'm like, that cat's going with you. You know,
it's God's going wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I love Billy, isn't he great? Yeah? He loves wrestling.
Oh yeah, he's big time wrestling.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Nicest people in the world, just very down to earth.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, since we're dropping names, have you have you
ever talked to any famous celebrities in the afterlife?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I did. I did a reading at my home of
friends of a friend. He came over and I wasn't
expecting this. Yeah, and I said, there's a blonde bombshell here,
and he goes, oh my god, it's Suzanne. He was
the hairdresser to Suzanne Summers for the third day, and
he traveled with her and she came in with so
many great messages for him. So yes, definitely, you know,
(20:37):
it's whoever comes in. You know, it's when you're with somebody,
whether it be phone zoom or in person, it's like electricity.
They travel like on a current so fast. They're always
with us, whether it be an animal or a person,
they're just by us, you know. And it just depends
on the medium you use, and if the person likes
(20:59):
the medium. I'm I mean, for years I saw the
same medium. He never once brought in my mother, which
was okay, I wasn't I just was getting really good messages.
So one day I met a medium and before I
was a medium, I'm saying, and he brought in my
mother and I said, yeah, the other guy never brought
He goes, your mother didn't like him.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's what I was thinking, my mother exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
See how you're psychic. My mother just like go.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, it must be fun being a medium.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh my god, it's so hard, has its downside, Like, yeah,
because we're so energy sensitive that sometimes I'll do an
event and if there was a lot of grief and
I'm pushing through a lot of other people's stuff, I
kind of like need like two days off after that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know. It's not like I just get right up
the next day and I'm like here I am, let's
start over again. But god do I love it when
I have a day rest, like in between a large
event and my ratings. It's it's it's kind of like
you can't you can't turn the switch off anymore. You
have to help people, and you got to keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I've talked to other mediums, but they've said that they
started telling people things before introducing themselves, and people would
be afraid or upset. Have you ever had one of
those experiences? Or how do you approach somebody?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I learned a long time ago this is a I'm
a professional medium. I'm not going to walk up to
people and give them messages.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, and it's not to put.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Down other people. Like I've had mediums i've met for
lunch and I really can't stand that they're reading me
like I'm just trying to be your girlfriend. Could we
just be friends here, Like I just feel like a
day out of having sushi with you and just like relaxing.
And then I go home and they're texting me about
my mother and my brother, and I just think, I
(22:52):
abhor that. I think it's if you're going to read somebody,
you let them know. Number one and number two, I
get paid for this work. You have the book on
a website, like I don't want to be on when
I'm out, I don't I want to be shut down.
I tell them this is when we're going to start,
and this is where we're going to add. When I say,
I tell them, most of my immediate family, my father,
(23:14):
my brother, and my sister they're in heaven. So my
dad really helps me so much with readings.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Now, have we talked about you putting out any literature.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
When you say literature you mean a book. Yeah, I'm
writing one right now, And oh my god, what a pair.
I'm not a natural writer, and I've got all my
animal stories. In the beginning, I didn't trust myself, so
I have composition books filled with animal readings. Like I
would meditate for thirty minutes, write everything this pet said
(23:45):
for thirty minutes, and then I'd be on the phone
with the person for an hour. So I like four hundred,
five hundred readings that are completely journaled and cursive writing.
I want to add those to the book. I want
to add some testimonials. I want to add some stories
in my own the book. And let me tell you
it's it is so not easy. And everyone's like, use AI. No,
(24:06):
I don't want to use AI because it's I'm authentic.
I want it to be in my voice, you know.
I don't want it to be an AI. And that
seems to be the way people are doing things, But
I don't think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you think AI could be a threat to mediums?
Hear me out if people's consciousness is being uploaded to
computers and people would just be able to talk to
the computer instead of a medium.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, because I don't think AI is going to be
able to get into people's conscious conscious maybe like in
the year twenty ninety. But I've heard people say she
doesn't she couldn't have possibly known this. Well, of course
I couldn't, because number one, I don't look people up
because this is a challenge for me too. I like
(24:53):
evidence and I love what I do so it's like
an artist painting a picture. I'm not going to paint
a picture the way I want to move people and
heal people if I'm looking people's history up.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
You know, I was just thinking, how would the AI
world apply to the medium world.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I used to go to mystics and healers and you know, psychics,
And I remember psychics when I was very young telling
me you have an ability, you'll be known later in life.
And I'm like, yeah, right, rolling my eyes, like I
don't want to be one of you. I really didn't
think that number one, this would be a career, or
that I even had these abilities. So, you know, it's
(25:36):
interesting how this all happened to me. And that's why
I don't take it for granted. And I find that
the spirit world brings me the people that are supposed
to be read by me. I didn't ask for this
just happens.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I do have two questions that are a little bit
off topic. I just want to just ask them. Since
you're from New York, are you excited that they're finally
getting trash cans in New York City?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I didn't even know anything about it, honestly.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
As old it was this whole thing. You don't watch TV.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, I don't. I don't watch the news especially, But
let me ask you a question. You mean people are
not going to dump their garbage bags on the street anymore?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Everything?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Oh good, less rats.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yes, they're just figuring it out right now.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know, New York, you can't afford to live in
New York unless you're super rich. It wasn't like that
when I'm growing up. You could still get you know,
when I was in my twenties, I was looking at,
you know, kind of a gross apartment at eight hundred
dollars a month on the upper side of the Coatin.
So now you need like eight thousand for that same apartment.
It's different now. You know, there's such a conscience traded
(26:51):
amount of wealth in a small area that these people
have probably made the politicians do it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I would think so. But you don't think any time
between this point right now in history and when New
York City started, they didn't hear about the invention of
the trash can well.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Look at the blank hitting the fan in California? I
have have you ever seen so many homeless people with
un house?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm absolutely not. It's gross.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Why can't they figure that out. Why can't they put
these people on house.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yes, apparently they know how to use garbage cans, but
not just the homeless situation exactly. You mentioned sushi that
you want to go eat sushi. Where is your go
to sushi spot? Oh wait, I'm going to tell you
my mind. I'm going to tell you through your mind.
What's your favorite?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
What's the one? What's the one I'm thinking about? I
don't know, you know, tell me.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I really like the chain, okay, suwa? I like the
cut sewers okay.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Very close. I was saying, no, oh.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
My god right before you said it.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Oh yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Have you been there?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Seriously? Are we? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I stay at Nobu. I'm always at Nobu. I've been
to Nobu, Malibou, Nobu.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Cabo, both New York City locations, all all three Vegas locations,
and I stayed at the Nobu hotel in Barcelona or Barcelona.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I was in Nobu, Vegas. Like in the twenty twenty
I did Noise the Little Thing at Nobu. One of
my first appearances is a regular medium. I actually have
never ever been to Novu, and my husband refuses to go.
He thinks No, I'm not going there. So when you
(28:45):
come to La, let's go to Novu.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I'm down. So you're gonna write the book. You do
live events and live you know, meetups. Is there anything
that you would want to do beyond that, like a
television show or a movie.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, there's been so many television shows presented to me,
and I think the networks are just still like way
she's talking to animals, there's I mean, I shot for
three weekends in a row with Michael Corbett and he's
the producer of Tyler Henry.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh wow, he's.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Really good friends and oh they're lovely. He's so lovely.
You know, I would love to work with them again
because they just get mediumship. You know, they didn't. They're
just kind. You know. They work with Tyler, who's a
beautiful soul and they get him. So they really got me.
But you know, they were having trouble with the networks
figuring out this is this girl for real? But you know,
(29:42):
if you get validation and the person in front of
you is validating for you, it's kind of like everything.
You know. When I could when I read for one
of Michael Corbett's friends and.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
We shot it his dog came in and the dog's
name was Ida, and I said, well, your dog is
named after your aunt Ida, and she loves the way
you've decorated at your house.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And he goes, oh my god, that's all my aunt
Ida's furniture in there. So she was commenting on his
decor because she was connected to his decor, and he
named his dog after her. So you know, you can't
make this blank up, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, Okay, I absolutely love Tyler Henry and I want
to have him in studio. When they talk about Tyler Henry,
who I love. By the way, when he meets super
famous people, he says he doesn't know who they are.
I didn't explain that.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, I do believe him because he's such a sensitive person.
I don't know him personally, but I feel what he feels.
You know, a lot of the super famous people that
he can potentially or possibly read for, he didn't grow
up with or didn't have history with. You know, people
say to me, oh, you believe she's that accurate? On
(31:02):
a television show, there's a lot of editing because a
lot of mediumship is pretty boring, you know, the in
between moments like that we're doing a reading for sixty minutes.
The evidence comes along, but it's not like boom boom boom.
So if you see like mediums doing readings, I have
clips off. You know, you edit it down so it's
not so boring for somebody to sit through a whole reading.
(31:25):
It's just normal. It's called television. And that being said,
you know, I've done large events on Zoom. You know,
fifty sixty people, sometimes seventy people. Everybody stays on because
in those large group events, people are getting healings, even
if they're not the person I'm directly speaking to.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Susan allenmedium dot com. Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And it's correct?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, Now when people go there, what can they find
on your website?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, we just put up a retreat pree day of
retreat that I made as affordable as possible for people
to learn with me. October eleven, twelve and thirteen. It's
going to be an intimate event. I'm not going to
have more than ten people, male or female, all level levels.
I'll do like random readings for pets living or deceased,
(32:17):
and you get to send your photo in off your
pet and I just randomly pick and I get through
quite a few people in ninety minutes. I do a
lot of affordable events, and I do gallery of eight,
so eight people, you know. I do go to people's
homes to do family readings. I do memorials, meaning like
I'll talk to a memorial and I'll bring through the
(32:39):
spirit you know that it's passed. I do kind of
like everything, medium ship, animals, and people. Now.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
And maybe you don't want to ask this, but if
you had to choose just one, if you lost one
of your powers, would you'd rather talk to us people
or to animals? Animals and animals a day? I know
you had the French bulldog, but what is your favorite
type of dot?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You know? I once said to myself, I wish I
could just live on this earth playing long enough to
experience every single possible dot, because I never thought I'd
fall in love with a pug. You know, the rescue
they gave me the friend sheet at the beginning of COVID.
They sent me a Facebook picture and they go, we
know you like friend sheese, but you should really meet
(33:25):
this one. And I drove too and a half hours.
My husband's like, you're not going to want the pug.
Trust me, he's like the voice of doom sometimes, but
he's madly in love with the pug, now, you know.
So I drove and a half hours and this little
pug looked up at me and I knew. I was like,
oh my god. And it's like a knowing with these animals.
(33:45):
I mean, if I could, you know, I have horse property,
I just don't have time. I would rescue and put
horses in my backyard and a cow, probably pig or two,
whatever I could do. I just I love the energy
of the animals. I have experiences with deer walking up
to me. Started to feed a wild rabbit in my patch.
(34:11):
This rabbit comes every morning and just lays down like
as if he's so relaxed, with his legs stretched out
behind him, sleeping. I've saved baby hummingbirds, I've fed them
through the night. I've picked up furrows. I mean, there's
just this thing with animals that I have. Now. It
doesn't mean that I don't love talking to dead people.
(34:33):
I absolutely love it when I bring in evidence the
things they said, the way that they sounded, you know,
things that the person that's still here did the day
of the reading, Like why is he showing me chocolate cookies.
She goes, I just took a rack out of the
oven and chocolate chip cookies. So there's like that kind
of thing. I love, love, love it. And actually seventy
(34:56):
five percent of my clients are for dead people and
psychic stuff. But if I had to choose, and I
had to lose the power, I probably would only want
my to talk to animals. I wouldn't want to give
that up.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Ever, I didn't let you know that I know a
thing too about horses. Sounds like you do, what type
of horse is your favorite horse?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
So I had this amazing horse for a while. He
was an old guy, but he taught me how to
stay on him, and I adored him. And he was
a short, squat white apple LUSA with black spots and
blue eyes, and he had like Marty Feldman eyes, so
his eyes would go to the back sides of his
head when I was cleaning his back feet out. And
(35:42):
I just adored that horse, and I have like the
memories of that horse will honestly like, hands down, the
most joyful life memories that I've ever had in my
life was with spending time with that horse.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Was the horse whine and Gray.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
It was white with giant black spots.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Weird because when you're talking about the horse, that's the
color I envisioned.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, it's not weird. You're probably connected. The horse that
I see in your field is like is a brown horse,
but he's like a white brown. Do you understand that? Yes,
that's the horse that I keep seeing around you. Oh,
that's the horse I keep feeling and seeing like you
keep saying horse and I keep seeing that one.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
There's a guy on our show who dislikes Clydesdale's. He
thinks that Clydesdale's are overrated.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh they're gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
They're absolutely gorgeous. They're massive things to look at with
beautiful main tails. What is there to dislike about them?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I don't know. I don't think that guy really knows
a Clydesdale because I used to go to this Clydesdale
farm in a Gora and they always had baby Clydesdale's.
I just would drive there whenever I could go take
a look, and I pull up and I'd see a baby,
and I'd lose my mind.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I love that. Thank you so much, Susan.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
You're so welcome.
A noy Hones and of youew.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are with Susan Allen. You're not only a medium,
but you're also an animal medium, which is very exciting
to me.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
That's so cool. Yeah, I do both. I started just
pure animals.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, well, let's let's get into it. Then. How did
you find out that you had this ability?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Always had this huge connection with animals since I'm a
little girl, since like five years old, I would just
light up all the time, as a lot of little
kids did, you know. But I think it was more
for me in the sense that when things would be
upsetting at the house or you know, my parents were
always fighting, an Italian family in New York, you know,
(00:48):
just fighting and arguing, my dad would throw me in
the car and take me to the petting zoo and
it was there that I found relief. And so as
time went on, I just had this incredible love for animals.
Wanted to get involved with horses. Go tell a little
girl from Brooklyn, you can't have a horse, you know.
Years later I made it happen and just spent a
(01:11):
lot of time at a barn with a horse named Leo.
He started to give me messages. I thought I was
really crazy, and I thought, geez, there's cameras up here.
Could I'd be alone with him and I'd be journaling
everything that he was telling me. People are going to
think I'm really crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I was always worried about I was always different. Add
to that, now you're talking to animals. I was always
a highly sensitive person. It was shortly after that this
whole evolution with this horse and learning about him and
being accurate apparently with the people that owned him. I said,
you open to this. I journaled about this horse and
(01:52):
would you I do care? And they were like really
into it, and that was kind of like my first client.
And then fast forward shortly after that, I took this
animal communication class on my iPad recovering from major surgery,
and everybody in the class was calling me for readings,
including a veterinarian that still calls me today, you know,
(02:14):
twenty years later. So that's kind of how that developed.
And I was still doing it, you know, on the side,
because I didn't want to give up my day job,
so I was doing it under my maiden name, so
nobody could quote unquote find me, you know, or make
a connection. And then I was doing a reading for
a rock star's girlfriend, famous rock star. She got my
(02:37):
name through a little shop in Santa Monica that I'd
occasionally go into and do animal readings, and she was
always calling me for the cats, and across the room
the photo of my dad and I my dad was
in the spirit world at this point started a morph
into somebody else, and it wasn't frightening and scary. It
was very mellow, very subtle. And then the man from
(03:01):
the other side started to communicate with me that he was,
in fact to this woman's dad. I think that was
more shock than her because she apparently probably talked to
him before, but it was her dad, and he communicated
that he was sorry and he didn't get to say goodbye.
He told me it was his heart. He showed me
(03:22):
how thin and fit he was, and he had these
very big glasses on, like very designer esque, you know
New York style glasses that the men wear. And he
was a famous fashion designer in Manhattan. And he died
in spin class at five am in the morning. So
that's kind of how it started. And I just I meditate,
(03:45):
and I talked to the spirit worlds, you know, in
my meditation, and I said you know, if this is
how you want to communicate with me, I can handle
this as long as you don't freak me out and
walk through the house and make noise and don't scare
the living you know what out of me. This could
be a thing like I could really start talking to
the other side. And you know, it was like beautiful
(04:07):
entry into mediumship. Wasn't looking for it to think I
could do it. Thought everybody else had the gift, and
I did in other mediums, and I just really took
off with that, you know. So I do both.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I want to get into more human spirits, but I
want to ask a lot of pet questions. If that's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
When you are communicating with pets. Right, Do you think
you are the many few that have this ability, because
like when I look at one of my dogs, I
feel like the dog is talking to me, tell me
what it wants, and then I'm trying to communicate back
through my head to back to the dog. The dog
(04:52):
is not hearing me, or maybe the dog does hear
me and is not paying attentionion.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think everybody has abilities. I think I was born
this way. I think it's second generation not third generation. Sorry,
my grandmother had the gift, but she didn't really use it.
It kind of scared her. But if you did some
developmental classes and mostly meditated and spent a lot of
time meditating, because I meantor people how to do this,
(05:18):
and I have like a unique way of doing it,
Like I didn't need to spend thirty years in a
spirit circle with other people because I'm so sensitive that
it would have been harder on me to do it
that way. So I think, if you have a unique love.
But here's the thing, going back to the question. I
never trusted my own communication with my pet unless I
(05:39):
could feel my body change like it did during a reading.
And that's when I had true communication with my own pets,
because they have a mind of their own. There's free will.
It's not like you can call an animal communicator and say,
you know, make my dog walk ten feet and turn
around and look at me. It just doesn't work like
(06:00):
you know, it's you're getting an essence of the soul
of the pet through pictures, stories, sounds, and you get
like all this information brought to you from the soul
of the pet. So it's not like the way that
I communicate is not static. It's not like your dog
(06:23):
said he liked bones, and your dog said he liked walks,
or your dog said you gave him this. I don't
communicate like that. When I communicate to a dog, my
readings are very very similar, if not the same, as
when I'm talking to a deceased person. That dog has
a soul, and that soul is communicating on the same
(06:45):
level as a person.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Would I have a question, and you don't have to
use your abilities. I had a stepmom that owned a
horse and the horse's name was Jaguar, And since the
horse has passed, I was always one wondering was the
horse upset by being called by a different animal that was?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's an interesting thing to name a hor. I was
just thinking, like, yeah, a horse Jaguar. I think that
horse was very well taken care of by her, so
I think she definitely she could probably call him anything.
You know, it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's just a random thought that I had.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did you have a connection with that horse as well? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I love that horse. Do you know what? In the
stable they had a bunch of mini horses, huh, And
one of them was called Buttercup and so, but it
is tied to a bad memory. Oh, nothing bad happened
to the to the mini horse. But I went into
a Fourth of July parade with one of the horses
(07:44):
and I'm all dressed up in cowboy gear in red,
white and blue, and a spectator pointed at me and said, hey,
look at that fat kid. Oh it was a bad memory,
but I still enjoy those horses.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
People are so mean. I know this is probably why
I gravitated to horses. I was a fat kid too,
so I get it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, it was an odd memory to have, but again,
still enjoyed being around the horses. I want to go
into some positive things that I have. I have two
French bulldogs. I see you're a pug person. That is
a cousin of the French bulldog, right, I actually have a.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
French bulldog rescue and the French sheet. I was just
it's so funny because my Schnauzer died a year after
my mom, and it was like recapitulation of all the
losses prior to that dog. It was so awful for me,
and the dog ends up dying and the same thing
my mother dies of the same cancer. It was really strange.
(08:43):
You know, because of their healers. So I waited eighteen years,
and all of a sudden, I saw this frenchie in
early two thousand and I fell in love and I
started researching French she is in two thousand and two,
like when other women were looking at blue batons and
you know those famous shoes. I'd be on the internet
(09:04):
at eleven o'clock at night researching friendshees and I learned
everything I could for years, and then they were so expensive.
I thought, this is nuts. I'm not going to buy
a five thousand dollars dog. Well yeah, when I was
selling real estate Maldu, which I absolutely hated, I went
in store to buy a cat toy and she had
(09:26):
friend cheese and they sent me home with one and
said test it out over the weekend and we won't
charge a credit card. You can come back on Monday
if it doesn't work out. So that was my first
friend sheet and that was my soul pet, the dog
that really showed me who I really was and who
I'm supposed to be. And so I'm a big friend
sheet lover too. But now I have a few friend
(09:48):
sheee and a rescue pugs. I know, friend She's like crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I have one who I feel I can communicate with,
and the other one is a Tasmanian devil. There's yeah.
You talked about memory of your first vision with the photos.
What was your second experience like to know that this
might be a consistent thing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
My first really very prolific reading was with that horse
that I was working on in Malibu, and I would
just write down everything he was saying. And then when
the woman that was using him for the show rang,
you know, she came to visit him. While I was
massaging him and rooming him, I said, I wrote some
(10:33):
stuff down, do you want to hear it? And I
walked her to her car and I read everything to her,
like in details about her him. She turned white, ran
to her car, ran back and stuffed this huge water
cash in my hand and said, you have an amazing gift.
And she's still in my life, and she's probably eighty
one years old now and she's still riding horses. The
(10:53):
first experience was really with that horse. And then when
I started doing pet readings, so I did a reading
for this woman and she was a bookkeeper, and the
dog came in and said, I'm really worried about her.
She's breathing so heavy. What am I going to do?
They're not taking me out, They're making me go in
the backyard. It's all cement. I need a walk. And
he was like so nervous, Like I was nervous. So
(11:16):
I did the reading, and she said, I took on
twenty extra hours at my job. I'm sitting all day.
I haven't walked the dog. I just let him out
in the courtyard of my condo. It's all cement. And
I'm probably breathing bad because I'm not sleeping or exercising well.
So within like twenty minutes of that reading, she did
(11:38):
a video of her outside in the dark with the dog,
and then they contacted me. Her husband was a horse
trainer at Santa Anita Raceway here in California, and they
asked if I would come down. You know, I'm still
working for free. They asked if I could come down
and talk to this horse that just wasn't winning. And
(11:59):
I thought, oh, I loveses. I'm so sensitive though, I'm
not sure this is going to work out, but I'll go.
So I see this beautiful you know, Mayor come out
and she didn't look drugged, and she didn't. She looked happy,
and I started communicating with her, and I said, you
know you're you know, listen, nobody's going to believe that
I'm talking to you. Can you just show them that
(12:21):
we're having a conversation by winning, okay? And I said,
I'd really like people to think that this is really happening.
And I said, why aren't you winning? And she said
because I'm just a number to him, and I'm like
one of so many he trains. And I'm like, I
don't think that's true, because they contacted me just to
talk to you, so I think you really are important
(12:43):
to them. So it ended. The reading ended. It was
just like a few minutes. I didn't tell them anything,
but I went and I bet on.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Her nice and she placed, oh that's sweet. And then
I think I have the track every day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
But I really didn't want to go there again, and
for good reason, because the horses look trucked up.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I mean, yeah, songs.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are hanging out, they're high as all get out, but
she wasn't. And I felt this was a good guy,
a good trainer, you know, and that's why I did it.
So I don't think i'd be going back there again.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Man, I personally would be at the track constant. So, oh,
do you know what question I've actually never asked a medium.
Do mediums get sad when people pass away?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's a good story, you know. I'm just checking in
with my brother that crossed into the spirit world in October.
He hit his head and got a brain injury.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And that scares me because I'm not even joking. I
do that a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do you fall down and hit your head?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh god, well I don't think I think you're going.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
To be okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
What happened was I was in England. I decided to
finally attend Arthur Finley's School, which is like the Hogwarts
for mediums, for professional mediums, and it's in the UK.
It was a big trip. I had studied with all
those teachers, all the top teachers at Arthur Finley, Navis
Patilla being my favorite teacher. I studied with her for
(14:19):
a week in the very beginning of this being able
to do a platform mediumship. I went there for a
week just to like check it out, and it was
a wonderful place for budding mediums or you know, people
coming up in the spirit realm. You know, it's a
great place. Food isn't great, though, but everybody jokes about it.
(14:42):
I knew my brother was slurring. I knew he had
a brain bleed, but it was under control. And all
of a sudden, I'm doing reading for somebody in the
class because we're doing speed readings, like speed dating. So
we're all like going like down a row, like twelve
people on each side. You're facing the and you're giving
readings like fast, which it's just to make you sharp,
(15:04):
you know. I was beginning and reading for this woman
and my brother. I'm having a whole conversation with my
brother and he's like, I'm really frightened. I don't like this,
blah blah blah, And I'm like, don't worry. You know,
you could choose to stay or you can choose to go.
It's going to be like being alive when you cross over.
It's going to the only thing is you don't have
a body anymore, so you can't feel or hug, but
(15:26):
you can experience all of what you see here and
have here accept more because your body is free. You're free,
your soul is free. You don't have a body. So
I was like, wow, that's weird, Like I wonder if
he's doing okay. And then fast forward, I come home
two days later, I get a phone call from my
other brother to say that he's they're talking. Then he's
(15:47):
in bad shape. And the next time I connected with
him was through meditation. He came to me. I wasn't
trying to connect with him because I really didn't know
where he was at this point, and he said, oh
my god, it's so beautiful, it's so wonderful. I'm so
happy here now. The problem my face was he was
my older brother and he was the one that always
(16:08):
I always called for business advice, for any advice, like
he was just so solid. He was a very, very
bright guy. And I knew that he wouldn't want to
be here if he couldn't use his brain. And it
was communicated to me by your girlfriend that was a
medium that didn't know what he did, and she said,
he said, you know, he wouldn't want to be here
(16:29):
if he couldn't use his brain. And it would make
so much sense to me because he was so he
was a brainiac, a problem solver. So we grieve because
we missed that physical loss, and yet it is like
a telephone to the spirit world. It takes a bit
more work for me when I communicate with him with
(16:50):
specific questions because it isn't always as clear. It's like
with my own pet. Like you said, you wanted to
talk to your own pet, make sure that they hear
you and get a clear communication. It's kind of like
a surgeon won't perform surgery on their own family when
when it's our own pet or our own family members,
(17:11):
we kind of doubt and we fear that we're getting
the wrong message. So it's like you want to use
somebody else. Most of us want to use other people.
But clearly, since I've been doing this work and I
have my own connections, I barely the psychic getings or mediumship.
It's just if I hear somebody's like amazing, or it's
(17:33):
a friend of a friend. I just I like to
see other people work and support other individuals that are
in this field.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Do you have to get a visual of the animal
before or can you just speak to the person and
know its presence.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Sometimes, but to get a really good reading, for me,
I like looking at the eyes of the pet, so
it doesn't have to be a brand new picture because
you know, like the eyes are like the soul. Yeah,
So I like looking at pictures and I like looking
through the eyes. So that's the short answer. The long
answer is when I do like large group events I
(18:07):
have I have a big event coming where we do
a large group event over the Rainbow Bridge, but I
give messages to people from their pets that have departed
and living. My assistant gathers the photos before. I like
to look at the photos before, like during the event,
I like to shoot around and feel the energy of
(18:28):
who wants to communicate. But if I have like a
medium session with a person, I can see in the
spirit world the animal. Like I did an event. It
was a personal soul speak event where I just was
talking to a large group and I went to this
woman and I said, why would your husband he was
obviously departed, and she goes, yeah, yeah, that's my husband.
(18:51):
And I said, he's showing me he's not riding a
Harley Davidson, but he pulled a Harley Davidson right into
my field, you know, for fast validations from her. And
she goes, oh my god, that's my dog Harley that
just crossed over. So if they know I'm not going
to get the name or I can't hear the name,
(19:12):
they know my frequency at the moment, they'll they'll give
me an image.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The reason I'm asking is because sometimes my dogs are
two hundred miles away from me. And let's say, if
I had the ability, do you think I could talk
to them?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah? Yeah, of course. I mean I talked to dogs
in Australia. I mean, I'm pretty for Australia. Love is
the real connector here. You know. You love these animals,
so they're so connected to you no matter where you go.
I mean I remember Billy Corgan called me and I
was on the phone with them, and he's about to
leave and he doesn't want to leave his cat. That's sick. Yeah,
(19:47):
And I'm like, that cat's going with you. You know,
it's God's going wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I love Billy, isn't he great? Yeah? He loves wrestling.
Oh yeah, he's big time wrestling.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Nicest people in the world, just very down to earth.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, since we're dropping names, have you have you
ever talked to any famous celebrities in the afterlife?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I did. I did a reading at my home of
friends of a friend. He came over and I wasn't
expecting this. Yeah, and I said, there's a blonde bombshell here,
and he goes, oh my god, it's Suzanne. He was
the hairdresser to Suzanne Summers for the third day, and
he traveled with her and she came in with so
many great messages for him. So yes, definitely, you know,
(20:37):
it's whoever comes in. You know, it's when you're with somebody,
whether it be phone zoom or in person, it's like electricity.
They travel like on a current so fast. They're always
with us, whether it be an animal or a person,
they're just by us, you know. And it just depends
on the medium you use, and if the person likes
(20:59):
the medium. I'm I mean, for years I saw the
same medium. He never once brought in my mother, which
was okay, I wasn't I just was getting really good messages.
So one day I met a medium and before I
was a medium, I'm saying, and he brought in my
mother and I said, yeah, the other guy never brought
He goes, your mother didn't like him.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's what I was thinking, my mother exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
See how you're psychic. My mother just like go.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I mean, it must be fun being a medium.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh my god, it's so hard, has its downside, Like, yeah,
because we're so energy sensitive that sometimes I'll do an
event and if there was a lot of grief and
I'm pushing through a lot of other people's stuff, I
kind of like need like two days off after that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know. It's not like I just get right up
the next day and I'm like here I am, let's
start over again. But god do I love it when
I have a day rest, like in between a large
event and my ratings. It's it's it's kind of like
you can't you can't turn the switch off anymore. You
have to help people, and you got to keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I've talked to other mediums, but they've said that they
started telling people things before introducing themselves, and people would
be afraid or upset. Have you ever had one of
those experiences? Or how do you approach somebody?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I learned a long time ago this is a I'm
a professional medium. I'm not going to walk up to
people and give them messages.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, and it's not to put.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Down other people. Like I've had mediums i've met for
lunch and I really can't stand that they're reading me
like I'm just trying to be your girlfriend. Could we
just be friends here, Like I just feel like a
day out of having sushi with you and just like relaxing.
And then I go home and they're texting me about
my mother and my brother, and I just think, I
(22:52):
abhor that. I think it's if you're going to read somebody,
you let them know. Number one and number two, I
get paid for this work. You have the book on
a website, like I don't want to be on when
I'm out, I don't I want to be shut down.
I tell them this is when we're going to start,
and this is where we're going to add. When I say,
I tell them, most of my immediate family, my father,
(23:14):
my brother, and my sister they're in heaven. So my
dad really helps me so much with readings.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Now, have we talked about you putting out any literature.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
When you say literature you mean a book. Yeah, I'm
writing one right now, And oh my god, what a pair.
I'm not a natural writer, and I've got all my
animal stories. In the beginning, I didn't trust myself, so
I have composition books filled with animal readings. Like I
would meditate for thirty minutes, write everything this pet said
(23:45):
for thirty minutes, and then I'd be on the phone
with the person for an hour. So I like four hundred,
five hundred readings that are completely journaled and cursive writing.
I want to add those to the book. I want
to add some testimonials. I want to add some stories
in my own the book. And let me tell you
it's it is so not easy. And everyone's like, use AI. No,
(24:06):
I don't want to use AI because it's I'm authentic.
I want it to be in my voice, you know.
I don't want it to be an AI. And that
seems to be the way people are doing things, But
I don't think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you think AI could be a threat to mediums?
Hear me out if people's consciousness is being uploaded to
computers and people would just be able to talk to
the computer instead of a medium.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, because I don't think AI is going to be
able to get into people's conscious conscious maybe like in
the year twenty ninety. But I've heard people say she
doesn't she couldn't have possibly known this. Well, of course
I couldn't, because number one, I don't look people up
because this is a challenge for me too. I like
(24:53):
evidence and I love what I do so it's like
an artist painting a picture. I'm not going to paint
a picture the way I want to move people and
heal people if I'm looking people's history up.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
You know, I was just thinking, how would the AI
world apply to the medium world.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I used to go to mystics and healers and you know, psychics,
And I remember psychics when I was very young telling
me you have an ability, you'll be known later in life.
And I'm like, yeah, right, rolling my eyes, like I
don't want to be one of you. I really didn't
think that number one, this would be a career, or
that I even had these abilities. So, you know, it's
(25:36):
interesting how this all happened to me. And that's why
I don't take it for granted. And I find that
the spirit world brings me the people that are supposed
to be read by me. I didn't ask for this
just happens.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I do have two questions that are a little bit
off topic. I just want to just ask them. Since
you're from New York, are you excited that they're finally
getting trash cans in New York City?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I didn't even know anything about it, honestly.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
As old it was this whole thing. You don't watch TV.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, I don't. I don't watch the news especially, But
let me ask you a question. You mean people are
not going to dump their garbage bags on the street anymore?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Everything?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Oh good, less rats.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yes, they're just figuring it out right now.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know, New York, you can't afford to live in
New York unless you're super rich. It wasn't like that
when I'm growing up. You could still get you know,
when I was in my twenties, I was looking at,
you know, kind of a gross apartment at eight hundred
dollars a month on the upper side of the Coatin.
So now you need like eight thousand for that same apartment.
It's different now. You know, there's such a conscience traded
(26:51):
amount of wealth in a small area that these people
have probably made the politicians do it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I would think so. But you don't think any time
between this point right now in history and when New
York City started, they didn't hear about the invention of
the trash can well.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Look at the blank hitting the fan in California? I
have have you ever seen so many homeless people with
un house?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm absolutely not. It's gross.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Why can't they figure that out. Why can't they put
these people on house.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yes, apparently they know how to use garbage cans, but
not just the homeless situation exactly. You mentioned sushi that
you want to go eat sushi. Where is your go
to sushi spot? Oh wait, I'm going to tell you
my mind. I'm going to tell you through your mind.
What's your favorite?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
What's the one? What's the one I'm thinking about? I
don't know, you know, tell me.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I really like the chain, okay, suwa? I like the
cut sewers okay.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Very close. I was saying, no, oh.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
My god right before you said it.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Oh yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Have you been there?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Seriously? Are we? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I stay at Nobu. I'm always at Nobu. I've been
to Nobu, Malibou, Nobu.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Cabo, both New York City locations, all all three Vegas locations,
and I stayed at the Nobu hotel in Barcelona or Barcelona.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I was in Nobu, Vegas. Like in the twenty twenty
I did Noise the Little Thing at Nobu. One of
my first appearances is a regular medium. I actually have
never ever been to Novu, and my husband refuses to go.
He thinks No, I'm not going there. So when you
(28:45):
come to La, let's go to Novu.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I'm down. So you're gonna write the book. You do
live events and live you know, meetups. Is there anything
that you would want to do beyond that, like a
television show or a movie.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, there's been so many television shows presented to me,
and I think the networks are just still like way
she's talking to animals, there's I mean, I shot for
three weekends in a row with Michael Corbett and he's
the producer of Tyler Henry.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh wow, he's.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Really good friends and oh they're lovely. He's so lovely.
You know, I would love to work with them again
because they just get mediumship. You know, they didn't. They're
just kind. You know. They work with Tyler, who's a
beautiful soul and they get him. So they really got me.
But you know, they were having trouble with the networks
figuring out this is this girl for real? But you know,
(29:42):
if you get validation and the person in front of
you is validating for you, it's kind of like everything.
You know. When I could when I read for one
of Michael Corbett's friends and.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
We shot it his dog came in and the dog's
name was Ida, and I said, well, your dog is
named after your aunt Ida, and she loves the way
you've decorated at your house.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And he goes, oh my god, that's all my aunt
Ida's furniture in there. So she was commenting on his
decor because she was connected to his decor, and he
named his dog after her. So you know, you can't
make this blank up, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, Okay, I absolutely love Tyler Henry and I want
to have him in studio. When they talk about Tyler Henry,
who I love. By the way, when he meets super
famous people, he says he doesn't know who they are.
I didn't explain that.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, I do believe him because he's such a sensitive person.
I don't know him personally, but I feel what he feels.
You know, a lot of the super famous people that
he can potentially or possibly read for, he didn't grow
up with or didn't have history with. You know, people
say to me, oh, you believe she's that accurate? On
(31:02):
a television show, there's a lot of editing because a
lot of mediumship is pretty boring, you know, the in
between moments like that we're doing a reading for sixty minutes.
The evidence comes along, but it's not like boom boom boom.
So if you see like mediums doing readings, I have
clips off. You know, you edit it down so it's
not so boring for somebody to sit through a whole reading.
(31:25):
It's just normal. It's called television. And that being said,
you know, I've done large events on Zoom. You know,
fifty sixty people, sometimes seventy people. Everybody stays on because
in those large group events, people are getting healings, even
if they're not the person I'm directly speaking to.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Susan allenmedium dot com. Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And it's correct?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, Now when people go there, what can they find
on your website?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, we just put up a retreat pree day of
retreat that I made as affordable as possible for people
to learn with me. October eleven, twelve and thirteen. It's
going to be an intimate event. I'm not going to
have more than ten people, male or female, all level levels.
I'll do like random readings for pets living or deceased,
(32:17):
and you get to send your photo in off your
pet and I just randomly pick and I get through
quite a few people in ninety minutes. I do a
lot of affordable events, and I do gallery of eight,
so eight people, you know. I do go to people's
homes to do family readings. I do memorials, meaning like
I'll talk to a memorial and I'll bring through the
(32:39):
spirit you know that it's passed. I do kind of
like everything, medium ship, animals, and people. Now.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
And maybe you don't want to ask this, but if
you had to choose just one, if you lost one
of your powers, would you'd rather talk to us people
or to animals? Animals and animals a day? I know
you had the French bulldog, but what is your favorite
type of dot?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You know? I once said to myself, I wish I
could just live on this earth playing long enough to
experience every single possible dot, because I never thought I'd
fall in love with a pug. You know, the rescue
they gave me the friend sheet at the beginning of COVID.
They sent me a Facebook picture and they go, we
know you like friend sheese, but you should really meet
(33:25):
this one. And I drove too and a half hours.
My husband's like, you're not going to want the pug.
Trust me, he's like the voice of doom sometimes, but
he's madly in love with the pug, now, you know.
So I drove and a half hours and this little
pug looked up at me and I knew. I was like,
oh my god. And it's like a knowing with these animals.
(33:45):
I mean, if I could, you know, I have horse property,
I just don't have time. I would rescue and put
horses in my backyard and a cow, probably pig or two,
whatever I could do. I just I love the energy
of the animals. I have experiences with deer walking up
to me. Started to feed a wild rabbit in my patch.
(34:11):
This rabbit comes every morning and just lays down like
as if he's so relaxed, with his legs stretched out
behind him, sleeping. I've saved baby hummingbirds, I've fed them
through the night. I've picked up furrows. I mean, there's
just this thing with animals that I have. Now. It
doesn't mean that I don't love talking to dead people.
(34:33):
I absolutely love it when I bring in evidence the
things they said, the way that they sounded, you know,
things that the person that's still here did the day
of the reading, Like why is he showing me chocolate cookies.
She goes, I just took a rack out of the
oven and chocolate chip cookies. So there's like that kind
of thing. I love, love, love it. And actually seventy
(34:56):
five percent of my clients are for dead people and
psychic stuff. But if I had to choose, and I
had to lose the power, I probably would only want
my to talk to animals. I wouldn't want to give
that up.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Ever, I didn't let you know that I know a
thing too about horses. Sounds like you do, what type
of horse is your favorite horse?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
So I had this amazing horse for a while. He
was an old guy, but he taught me how to
stay on him, and I adored him. And he was
a short, squat white apple LUSA with black spots and
blue eyes, and he had like Marty Feldman eyes, so
his eyes would go to the back sides of his
head when I was cleaning his back feet out. And
(35:42):
I just adored that horse, and I have like the
memories of that horse will honestly like, hands down, the
most joyful life memories that I've ever had in my
life was with spending time with that horse.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Was the horse whine and Gray.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
It was white with giant black spots.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Weird because when you're talking about the horse, that's the
color I envisioned.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, it's not weird. You're probably connected. The horse that
I see in your field is like is a brown horse,
but he's like a white brown. Do you understand that? Yes,
that's the horse that I keep seeing around you. Oh,
that's the horse I keep feeling and seeing like you
keep saying horse and I keep seeing that one.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
There's a guy on our show who dislikes Clydesdale's. He
thinks that Clydesdale's are overrated.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh they're gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
They're absolutely gorgeous. They're massive things to look at with
beautiful main tails. What is there to dislike about them?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I don't know. I don't think that guy really knows
a Clydesdale because I used to go to this Clydesdale
farm in a Gora and they always had baby Clydesdale's.
I just would drive there whenever I could go take
a look, and I pull up and I'd see a baby,
and I'd lose my mind.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I love that. Thank you so much, Susan.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
You're so welcome.
