TRANSCRIPT:
What if you could get a sign from anywhere and anything at any time? What if it didn't have to be, you know, coins or butterflies or bees or whatever it is? Because, what we're doing with that is we're dumbing down the not only possibility that our loved ones can have intelligence,
that you have intelligence on the other side, but also you're not looking for everything else that comes on your. You're going, Okay, if it's only a bee, this is only my sister, or whatever it would maybe. So essentially,
what you do in order to connect with your loved ones and kind of have them show you all these different signs are the ones that you're not aware of, because I can promise you they're doing it on a daily basis. You're just not picking it up,
and one of the main reasons why you're not doing it is your phone. Welcome to Life With Ghosts: Let's Chat, the show that seeks to better understand how to best communicate with our departed loved ones. I'm your host, Steven Berkeley.
Tonight's guest, Amy Balesky. Here we are, big crowd tonight, and it's growing still. Welcome to Life With Ghosts. It's good to see some very familiar faces. Tonight, we have Amy Balesky with us.
I just met her 15 minutes ago. Love this woman, so you're in for a treat. Um, and with that, I'm gonna pass it over to your host, Steven Berkeley. Steven, take it away.
Thank you, Gary. Yes, we have Amy Balesky in the house. Now, Amy is someone who I only heard about recently because the person who takes care of my social media came to me and said,
Have you heard of Amy Balesky? Amy Balesky is, like, has, like, three million followers, and so you should have heard of her, and I hadn't. And I looked her up and I think, Oh, sh I I c I see what you're doing, Amy.
I see there's this… Okay, a young, vibrant Gen Z person is, like, posting all over the place on TikTok. Of course she has all these followers. I was skeptic skeptical at first, Amy.
I didn't know who you were, but you seem like the typical, like, you know, hipster that was, like, posting a lot. But then I started watching your videos and I realized you were doing something different from everybody else I had seen. Yes, you are vibrant and you're exciting to watch,
but you're more than just a pretty face who likes to, like, talk about all kinds of nonsense. You actually are connecting, like, all day long, and I thought that was pretty cool. So I wanted to get you on the program.
I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to introduce you to my community, and I wanted to get, like, a real, get a real good idea of who you are and where you came from and everything.
So could we start with that? Could we start with who you are? Give me, give me the, the, the, the bio, the short bio. Um, I got here because I've been channeling since I was pro five,
probably earlier, but I can't remember, and it was because of my near-death experiences that I had with cancer. So it was Willems tumor. If you don't know, it's kidney cancer. But at that point in time, it was already stage three,
so it almost took me out with surgery. And then from there, I had three other near-death experiences due to a connective tissue disorder that I have, that just, it's a mitochondria defect.
It makes it to where your body does not create collagen. Um, and I also have a thing called Marfan syndrome that makes you extremely tall with big hands, but it also causes you to have, like, cardiomyopathy or, like,
you know, holes in your heart and all that stuff, which is very fun, which leads you to have obviously a lot of medical issues, but also early passing, which is fine as well. I know what happens.
And ever since I had really my third near-death experience, now, I'd been channeling since I was little and did it in middle school, in high school, but when I had my third one, when I came out of my body due to a brain infection, I was wondering, where did I go?
How could I see everything? How could I still feel everything? How is it when I asked to go see my mom in the waiting room, I instantly got there?
And then how could I communicate with people? 'Cause you're still a person, you just don't have a body, properly on the other side? Instead of just being like, Do you have any idea about the gentleman with the R name?
You know? And so since then, I'm trying to figure out how to understand this entire language of what we naturally have, but we forget it.
And now we're here. Our guest tonight didn't just build an audience. She found herself at the center of a cultural movement. Amy Balesky has drawn more than three million people into conversations about spirit, grief, and connection, where those ideas are questioned, challenged,
and sometimes attacked. When mediumship comes under fire on social media, Amy is on the front. In a world where spiritual experiences were once kept private, she's helped move those conversations into everyday public discourse. Tonight,
we meet the person behind the platform and explore what it's like to navigate meaning, skepticism, and visibility at this scale. Amy Balesky, welcome to Life With Ghosts. Let's chat.
Thank you. Thank you. Happy to have me here. Thank you for having me on here. No, I…
Life With Ghosts, let's take that whole phrase. Um, I don't know, and I think you and I spoke about it a little bit, but the, the real reality is the other side, which is not the other side.
Remember in, like, I, I, I said to you when we were talking before, you have never ceased being dead. You're still dead right now. You're still a spirit in a body, looking through your body,
looking through your eyes, having a human experience. And so when you cross over, you just, your awareness shifts, right? Your awareness changes. So, and then remember, it's spirit is everything. Ghosts are everything.
Um, the afterlife is everything. God is everything. Yes, I do believe in that as well, but essentially remember everything is connected both here and there. Your loved ones that have crossed over, they haven't crossed over,
they're there with you. And the way they pop it in your life is by, you know, bringing up their name, bringing up a random image in your brain. Maybe you're going on throughout your day and you're sad about them, and then all of a sudden
you start to remember some memories from them randomly. So that's them coming in and they're trying to raise your vibration to match them so they can connect better. Um, I don't know.
There's so many things that I've studied, but essentially what I'm telling you is that it's not life with ghosts, it's your entire world with ghosts, because you've never ceased being a ghost. Okay, I will change the name of the program, but… There we go. Life with life.
For now, tell me this. I heard… Apropos of what you're saying right now, I heard you say in an, in an interview that everything is a sign. Could you talk about that a little bit?
Speak to that a little bit for me? Okay. Yeah, so everything is a sign. So the one thing I want everybody to kinda like get out of your, their brains and throw it away, because it's just so mundane, is what if you could get a sign from anywhere
and anything at any time? What if it didn't have to be, you know, coins or butterflies or bees or whatever it is? Because what we're doing with that is we're dumbing down the not only possibility that our loved
ones can have intelligence, that you have intelligence on the other side, but also you're not looking for everything else that comes on your viewpoint. You're going, Okay, if it's only a bee, this is only my sister, or whatever it may be.
So essentially what you do in order to connect with your loved ones and kind of have them show you all these different signs are the ones that you're not aware of, because I can promise you they're doing it on a daily basis, you're just not.
And the one of the main reasons why you're not doing it is your phone. Phone is number one. Internet is number two. Yes, things will pop up on the internet
or on your phone that could be a sign, like maybe you have a brother named Daniel, and then all day you've been thinking about him, and then you open up your phone and the first video is, like, Daniel, right?
That could be a sign, absolutely. But what I want y'all to do, and this is gonna be in your normal daily lives, is do this in the evening. First off, because in the evening you're quiet, your world is quiet,
you're not paying attention to anything else. Make sure you have your phone down. And essentially, if you have, like, little kids and you have to go lock yourself in the bathroom, please go do this.
So, say, Mommy needs five minutes. So what you do is in the evening time when the world is quiet, you take a second and you calm yourself down. So one of the things that you're wanting to try to do is, in order to connect with your loved ones on the other side,
you can't be in a swell or a decline of an emotional state. Now, what do I mean by that? Normally in life, we're just kind of living. That's your neutral. If you are in this hyper, Oh my God,
I wanna see them, up state, you can't connect with them very well because you're becoming your emotions. If you are in this hyper sad state, which is lower, you can't connect with them because you're becoming your emotions. Remember, your emotions are not you.
So what you do is you take that, you let that good cry out, you let that good happiness feeling out, whatever it is, and then you get yourself into this neutral feeling, which is, It is okay. It's not okay, I'm just fine.
Then what you do is you start remembering them. Not a bad time, not the last time, not the when we found their body outside, none of that. Why?'Cause that makes you dip again or high. We wanna stay even.
What you do is you start remembering just good memories, and you get that little tickle in your throat and you get that little feeling of like, I wanna cry. That's okay. That's love.
That's good. Let it happen. You may also get, like, little goosebumps on one side of your body, like the top of your arm, the left part of your arm.
Also spirits and your loved ones on the other side, they will hit different parts of your body. So maybe you're thinking about your grandmother one day, and you may only get goosebumps on the left side on your leg. Really take note.
Like, have kind of like a scientific lens for this stuff, and you'll start to think, like, Okay, maybe my dad is the one only doing it on my hand. Anyways, going back. What you do is you start to think of really good memories
for them for about two or three minutes, and all you're doing with that is remember your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions. They all are energy. They're vibration.
They're connection. So when you're thinking about them, you're creating this channel, and you're opening up. You're actually channeling when you're doing that. And then what you do is you say, Okay,
I would like to see this sign. Choose a random one. Don't just say, Oh my God, a bee. Like, if their name was Michael, I want you to ask for the name Michael.
If their favorite thing, like, let's say you live in Florida, and their favorite thing was the Boston Red Sox, I want you to ask for, like, the Boston Red Sox logo, especially if you live in, like, Ohio, right? So something where it's not close.
I want you to visualize this thing in your brain. Like, I want you to see it. And then you say, I would love to see this sign or symbol in the next two or three days,
and I know that you're with me. And then you text your friend, write it down. I would say a notepad. This is gonna be your best friend. Write down the time and date,
and that way you not only can verify that you asked for it, but you can verify, like, the time and the date. Because what is the biggest thing in this is that at the very end you go, Oh no, it just, it just happened.
I never asked for that. So write it down so you remember. And then what you do is you go about your normal daily life. You don't look for it. You don't Google it.
You don't ask for it. You just create this kinda, like, neutral energy, and you go out and you have a good day. And I can promise you that stupid sign will end up showing up. And then what's gonna happen is when you see it the first time,
you're gonna be like, Okay, that's interesting. And it may be, let's take it back to the Michael thing. It may be that you're up and you're late for work, and you go to work the exact same way every single fricking time, right? And all of a sudden as you're driving,
there's this driver in front of you that's really, really slow. You get off, you're about to get to a light, and you're like, Oh my God, I need to get through this red light. And then all of a sudden this driver slows down in front of you,
and you're p **** d off, but when it gets to the red light and you stop, you notice on the back it says, like, Michael's Basketball Grade A or whatever it is for, like, a basketball thing, and you're looking at that and you're like, Okay,
whatever. And it's because everything happens for a reason. That was them putting you behind that person, that's them showing you that, like, there literally is, Michael, the thing that you're asking for. And then after you go through
and you see these signs and after you go and you f you finally see them, what I want you to do is I want you to get back and I want you to write down where you saw it and where it was at.
If you can take a picture, please do that. And then that evening, what I want you to do is I want you to do the same thing all over again, but I want you to change the symbol or change the sign.
So essentially… And then write it down again, and redo it again. So the first or the second time when you do this, you're just gonna be like, Oh, okay, that's weird, but, you know, that has nothing to do.
But the third or fourth time as you start to receive these, like, unique signs and unique symbols, you're not only just gonna see them, but in the very beginning when you get that sign, you're gonna get a feeling, and that feeling is your loved one. And so down the line,
even if you don't have that sign or don't have that symbol and you get that little slight, like, Hmm, maybe that's Donald, that's what I'm teaching you how to do is I'm teaching you how to not only get signs,
but also feel your loved ones at the same time. Okay? So that's what I need you to do. And it can happen anywhere. It can be where maybe you're asking for, I don't know,
somebody named Beverly, right? And so you're just like, Oh my God, I wish my grandmother, I wish my mother named Beverly would show up. I never feel her. And then you end up going to Costco one day
and you're standing in line, and this couple's in front of you, and they're an older couple, and they're like, You know what? Beverly, go over and go get… I need you to get the nuts for me.
And like, you're just sitting in line waiting for checkout and you're like, God, f ** k. Beverly, holy… And you're like, Wait, that's my mother's name. Why did I get in that line?
Why did I hear that man yell? Why did all these things happen? It's because they're showing you that they're in your life. That's it. Now…
somewhere in there, and that was kind of fast for me, so I'm gonna have to re-listen to this, but somewhere… in there you said, Well, that's you channeling. What do you mean that's me channeling? What are you referring to there?
Oh, everybody channels. You channel all the time. Um, and most of us channel when we're in our car, when we're taking a shower, when we're in the bathroom, and in all sorts of senses, when you're cooking dinner.
Um I'm not noticing anybody when I'm in the shower with me. Oh, no. No, because… well,'cause you're not… number one, you're not normal well, you don't really notice them, but what will end up happening is you open up your mind,
which just means, okay, what it is what it is, is like… Here, I'll give you the example. So this was, um… what are we on? We're on Monday.
So, like, this was last Thursday. I was in the shower, which is where I get a lot of my things during the day, because spirits know when you're gonna have a session. Spirits want to connect,
and they want to show you that it's them and they're around. So they will pop in my head the day before, two days before, three days before, especially if it was tragic, to let me know something was going on. So I was in the shower, I was getting ready,
everything's going well. I think I'm shaving my legs, and then all of a sudden I hear this woman and she says, Can you just tell my son… And she makes me feel this feeling of
watching him walk out of the door. And then she passes and she says like, My only son, can you please let him know that I'm sorry that I died after he had left. And so anyways, I'm going through my normal day.
Everything is fine. I'm in my first session, nothing, third session, nothing, fourth session, and they bring up that memory of me being in the shower. And I was looking at him and I'm like,
Are we wanting to channel, like, your mom? And he was like, Yeah, if we can. And I said, I know this is really random, I said, but I think your mom was in the bathroom with me, which is just a normal thing for me at this point.
And I said, Did you end up walking out, like, right as she died? And of course he freaks out and he was like, I have the biggest guilt, because I was taking care of out and he was like,
I have the biggest guilt, because I was taking care of her. She was at my house, I was doing hospice, and I told her I had to run to the ba bathroom. I could tell that her breathing was getting really, really shallow, but I needed to run, and so I went to the bathroom,
and I came back and she had passed. And I was like, Oh, well, she's around and she appreciates you. And so why would she come through to talk about that specific moment? Because remember, everything is vibration, everything is energy, everything is frequency,
and if we are holding on to that guilt or that stress, then we ourselves are not connecting to the divine that lives inside of us. We are taking this energy or this stress or this guilt, and we're carrying it with us like a knapsack all through life. That has weight to it.
And so when you talk about his mother or when he talks about Mom, he's connecting Mom with guilt. So she wants to come in to connect with him to let him know it's okay so that that can be and let go,
and so she can connect with him better. That's it. Very cool. So th I think we were talking about this just a few minutes ago. You might be able to demonstrate some of
your skills with perhaps Gary and I. Okay. So there was some… There's something about a gentleman, and because there's so many people here, there's something about a gentleman, um…
it's interesting, it's almost like you would know him to be, like, either a brother-in-law or, like, an uncle. It's the o it's second and it's out, so it's not partner. Um, but it's like he took his own life, obv obviously with a gun.
Um, but he has a daughter, but I think the daughter is older now. Um, I don't think the daughter is younger anymore at all. There's something that deals with that, and I know people sometimes are… they're weird about talking about suicide in front of a lot of people,
and I get it, I understand it. But… And he has and then he's not super skinny. He's definitely a little bit heavier, or he's showing me bloating,
which either means that we dealt with, like, alcoholism at that point or it can mean that he was just very, like, not happy with where he was at, so he was using this to cope with other means. So I'm gonna leave that there for right now,
but there's something that's dealing with that. Okay. If anybody wants to verify that that per perhaps pertains to them, they could raise their mechanical hand and we could… Find out if that's feels like a designation Go for it, Judith.
Yeah. But right now, no one's coming forward with any Well, it says Oh, wait. One Judith is up there. I see Judith.
Judith, me on YouTube. Hi. Oh, hi Stephanie. Hi there. Hey. Um, that's like exactly my story.
What's going on with that? What was that? You don't mind. We're all here together. Yeah. No, no, no.
My father was an alcoholic, and his alcoholism got worse and worse and worse and worse. We couldn't live with him anymore. He was too aggressive and, um… volatile, all that kind of stuff.
And, I was really close to him. And, when he passed away, I was 14. Um… it was a very violent way that he passed away. I won't say many
it was kinda like a backpack full of rocks for me my whole life Yeah, mm-hmm… until I started getting healing by… doing yoga, actually, which I was very opposed to.
I resisted it. Started doing yoga. Started healing… inwardly and s… being more open to things, understanding things.
Um, but lately, for some reason, I've had a lot of deaths, animals especially, recently. And been extremely… I've been very emotional about it, and I want a sign from somebody. So any little thing'll happen, like, I don't know,
something will fall off the shelf, and I'll say, Who's there? Come on, I'm listening. Who is it? And I'll go through my list of names, and then Come on, I'm listening. Who is it?
And I'll go through my list of names, and then silence. So I say, Whoever you are, please don't leave. I like having you here. And that's kind of where I've been. And it's literally like two, three, four,
five times a day where, you know, I'm like waiting for the response. Yeah. Well, I would say this would be a response, then. Uh, I think so.
You kinda freaked me out a little bit. Uh-huh. No, it's okay. It's okay. Well, I'm glad you could be so open with us, and we love you, and thank you for being here.
Let's say one of your loved ones, in speaking for everybody, one of the things that I find is if somebody, let's say, they were a seething alcoholic, or let's say they were a hardcore drug abuser or even, you know, worse, and really both of those things are selfish.
I mean, it is. It's all about… And somebody can say, Oh my gosh, well, they had… You know, they dealt with it. Well, yeah, but there was a choice beforehand.
There's a choice in the middle, and there's a choice after as well. Like, let me tell you, everybody can have a certain choice. But what will end up happening is if they pass in that way or because of that or because of, like, taking their own life, they see, you know,
what has happened before and after to get there. They see every moment that you're missing them. They see every moment that they could have changed or done something better. And so a lot of times, these type of people, they're gonna feel a little bit more dense.
That's why we see these spirits as, like, shadows, or maybe you get little things like, a light turns on, or maybe Netflix turns on, or maybe a book falls off or something. So that's because they're a little bit more dense, which is not a bad thing.
It's here. That also means they're more of a guide, so helping you, prepping you, the person that whispers in your ear and tells you to go left instead of going right.
And it's because through their acts of self-sacrificing service, which is what they wanna do,'cause that's called love, it ends up raising you up and healing you. It also ends up letting them go up as… instead of being selfish, they're now there for you.
It's a pretty nifty story. Yeah. Yeah. You told me somebody who was on testosterone who ended up killing himself right in front of his wife.
Yeah, that was a guy, he had three little girls. Three little girls. That a different story? That was a different one. And actually, he used that as reference.
He used that gentleman as reference at first, and his name was Chris or something like that, if I can recall. That was about a year or so ago. But yeah, he went… He was on testosterone,
and he ended up going into a mental institution for two weeks, and then he had gotten out. They said, Don't be on it, and he just didn't like how he felt. So he was like, Oh, I can do it anyways.
He got back on it again, and he went AWOL, and yeah. When a spirit causes that kind of trauma in a family member, is there extra incentive for him to get in touch with you and say, Let's smooth things out with my wife? Yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah, especially if they're wanting or if they're needing. Like, he did this in front of his wife. His three little girls were asleep already. Two of them were twins. One of them was only a year and a half older.
Um, I mean, I think at that point they were, like, five and eight. Um, like, five, five and eight at that point, or five, five and seven when I was channeling them. But he felt so bad for what he did,
and he's just trying to get in contact and show her that he's around, show her that he's participating because that's going to allow her to have the confidence in him, but also she's not living back in that moment 24/7 of what happened. Okay.
So Gary's gonna moderate a Q & A, and I'm gonna ask people to, or just let people know that Amy's not gonna be giving personal readings tonight to people. If you ask,
if you have a question for her and she gets something, she may volunteer it to you. But she's not here to give personal readings. There's just too many people here to try to do that. Mm-hmm.
And as Amy was just describing, it gets a little very confusing when there's so many voices in your head at once. Oh, can I describe that really quick and let them know? Because a lot of people don't understand.
Okay, and do you mind if I describe, real quick, like, what happens? 'Cause I have a lot of the friends, like Theresa Caputo and, and, and Tyler Henry and all those people. Like, why does…
People always ask me, they'll go see them, and then they'll have a session with me, and they'll say, you know, Why did that other person's loved one show up, and why did mine not? People are coming to the event to connect with their loved ones.
So when somebody's going up to a section, so, like, one of the five sections, and they say, I feel like there's somebody that passed tragically. It's very annoying, but it, tragic is dependent on that individual.
If you were there and you saw your mother bleeding out in the hospital from a surgery, that's tragic, just like the person that passed in a motorcycle accident, right? Um, the next thing is really what they're doing is when they say something like that,
and there's 600 people around, I want you to think of the different channels, the different levels, the different vibrations. So if I'm going through and I'm channeling somebody in what's called, I call it a higher vibrational state or heaven,
I have to get exceptionally happy. I have to get like, because I'm the one that's channeling to that. You're 50% of it. You're providing the battery, but I'm essentially tuning to that station. And so then therefore, I start bringing that person through.
I'm keeping myself happy. Everything is great. Everything's good. When you have somebody that's in that wide of a scope, they have to choose the area that they're gonna start off with feeling at.
So when they say, I'm channeling somebody that passed tragically, they're kind of like tuning themselves to, Okay, we're gonna get this slightly lower state. There's a lot of like feelings that go with it, and so therefore, I'm not gonna channel this, and I'm not gonna channel this.
So like therefore, if you are sitting next to somebody that their son got murdered, and you're like, Why didn't my grandmother come through? Sh I was sitting right next to them, it's because that medium was channeling somebody
or feeling in that middle area instead of like I like to call it party land. That's the way it feels is party land. So it's not the fact that they weren't trying to come through. It was the fact that we just weren't on
that vibration at that point in time. Okay. Okay? So it has nothing to do with you. Okay, so let's go into Q & A. One, one, one more thing before you go to Q & A.
People here are gonna wanna know how to learn more about you and how to schedule an appointment with you. Where do I go? Where do they go? What do they do? Yeah, so I mean, you can Google my last name,
so Balesky, and my website will come up. Um, and so, but it's The Balesky Experience. You do, you can just type in The Balesky, and then it'll go from there. You can find me on every social media essentially.
Just type in my last name. I'm the only Balesky around except for Ian, which is like a far off cousin, but he's over in California. He doesn't do mediumship. But you can find me on there.
I do lessons, like I teach Introduction to Channeling class. I have Patreon events. Like tonight after this, I'm teaching people how to connect through guided connection, which is gonna be very cool. It's for an hour-long event.
Um, I also have a thing called Spirit Lounge that I do once a month, which is very fun, where I bring forward your loved ones, and I show you that they can physically set off my devices and answer questions,
in my brain, like right there, which is really nifty. And then, of course, I have my normal sessions as well. So everything is on, well, my website and every social media. How long is your waiting list? Uh, it's 16, 18 months and getting longer.
I'm about to shut down, open bookings because it's just getting out of hand.
