Bridging Science & Spirituality: A Mystic’s Guide to Healing with Dr. Lotte Valentin

[00:00:00] Lotte: That light is what we come from. We are part of that light. It is unconditional love and light, and that is God. That is source, whatever you want to call it, but that's what we come from.

[00:00:11] Kate: Do you worry about the judgment of others? Because you're talking about concepts and ideas that aren't always mainstream.

[00:00:17] Lotte: I didn't believe in anything in the spirit world of life after death. It wasn't part of my belief system.

[00:00:24] Kate: I'll hear things. Even before the LA fires, my body, intuition, psychic, everything just kept saying, "I'm ready to go."

[00:00:31] Lotte: And I hear the most beautiful music, music you cannot make on the Earth plane. You can't make that music on the Earth plane.

[00:00:39] Kate: You literally can't make this stuff up.

[00:00:42] Lotte: The nurse in my right is quoting my blood pressure and she yells out, "50 over 15, hurry." And that's now getting too low to support the heart rate. At that moment, I knew that I was dying. And it was very different from when I gave birth to my daughter.

[00:01:00] Kate: Hey, there. Welcome back to Rawish with Kate Eckman. Got another fun episode for you here today. Someone that I've never quite talked to in this capacity before, we have a medical medium here. We also have someone who went to medical school at the ripe age of 54 years young. She's really bridging the gap between science and spirituality, and we have so much to get to.

[00:01:26] I know you're going to gain so much wisdom from this conversation, and I love talking to people who expand my mind and my heart and my spirit, and get me thinking and talking about things that I don't get to do every day. So Dr. Lotte Valentin, thank you so much for being here today. It's just such a delight to talk to anybody who is disrupting the status quo, not following the nice, pretty neat path that this laid out for us ladies to do, and someone who is really challenging stereotypes and what it means to be a woman, and what it means to do things at a certain age. And you've already given me so much hope and inspiration to really just go for it, whatever that is, and I know you'll offer that for my audience today.

[00:02:05] So please share with us what exactly a medical medium is and a little bit more about your background and your area of genius, if you will.

[00:02:14] Lotte: Yeah. So I had two near-death out of body experiences, and many times people think that a near-death is you're close to being in an accident, but when we talk about it, we really mean that you left your body and you went somewhere else. And my first  near-death experience was after I gave birth to my third child, and I was hemorrhaging.

[00:02:35] 10 days later, I was hemorrhaging. I was in the ER, and it was the third day I was hemorrhaging. It's like divine interference. This nurse comes to check on me at that moment, and this middle-aged man comes running in to, the hospital room that I was in, and I could hear that call on the loudspeaker, "OBGYN, stat to the ER."

[00:02:58] And as he comes running in, he says, "How much have you been bleeding?" And I said, "This is the third day I'm hemorrhaging." And so he knew that I had lost a lot of blood, and they did a visual exam and asked to do that visual exam. Another large blood clot comes out.

[00:03:13] And I'm trying to tell him at that point that I don't feel too good. So he pushes me down on the table and my head goes towards the floor. My feet goes up in the air. And I have a nurse in my right that's quoting my blood pressure and a nurse in my left trying to place that IV. I'm thinking like, I feel like I'm just falling, like I jumped out of an airplane without a parachute.

[00:03:35] And the nurse in my right is quoting my blood pressure, and she yells out, "50 over 15, hurry." And that's now getting too low to support the heart rate. At that moment, I knew that I was dying. And it was very different from when I gave birth to my daughter.

[00:03:53] I actually gave birth between a 7.4 and a 7.2 earthquake. And that was one of those times in my life when I thought, I never thought I was going to die this way. But this was very different because I knew I was dying at this point. And the complete atheist that I was at the time, what did I do? I prayed to God to save my life.

[00:04:13] So I said, "I have three children under the age of six. Please save me. They need a mother." And shortly after that, I was just pulled out of my body, and I find myself just floating in the ER, and there was no time on the other side. I had access to past, present, and future all at the same time. And that was just--

[00:04:33] Kate: You actually crossed over. You actually crossed over.

[00:04:36] Lotte: Right. Yeah. So I'm out of my body, so you're in that limbo state because you're still in the earthly realm. You haven't gone all the way to the spirit world, but you're still hanging out. So I was in limbo between life and death, so to speak. And I knew that I belonged to that body down there.

[00:04:55] But the first thing that I thought was, "How can I be outside my body and still be me? How does this work?" So shortly after that, I got pulled back into my body, and the next morning, as I'm lying there in the hospital bed, I heard my sister-in-law, and she said, "Everything's going to be okay." And she had just passed away two weeks earlier.

[00:05:18] And I'm trying to put everything together that I was experiencing the day before because my belief system wasn't in place for anything like this. I didn't believe in anything, in the spirit world of life after death. It wasn't part of my belief system. So then what happened is that I got really, really sick.

[00:05:36] I had bone marrow suppression. I had no white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets. I was really sick. It took me a good six years to heal from that. And during that healing journey, two years later, as I'm trying to heal, I'm just always feeling like my soul is jumping out of my body. I'm always holding onto my soul.

[00:05:55] I'm always saying, "Don't leave. Don't leave. We have to stay." And once in the middle of the night, I woke up. This is something that happened all the time. So I would wake up, my head is pounding because I don't have enough blood in my body. And again, I was just pulled out of my body. But this second experience is really what activated my life path, because I feel like the spirit world was like, oh, she didn't get the full effect the first time, so I got to do another one, so she knows why she incarnated into this life.

[00:06:25] And so it's like I'm tumbling through space. Think Star Wars. Just going through space. And I get to this place that I call the mid station because I had this awareness that you could go higher or lower. You go into a skyscraper and you push the button on the 50th floor.

[00:06:42] You know there's floors above you. You know there's floors below you, but you're on the 50th floor. So I get to this place, and I hear the most beautiful music, music you cannot make on the Earth plane. I tried. We had this rolling synthesizer at the time, and I sat at that synthesizer for a week trying to find one sound that sounded as beautiful as the music I heard.

[00:07:07] You can't make that music on the Earth plane. So I hear this most beautiful music, and I look to my right, and I see a little log cabin. It's so funny, what we see. Some people meet their relatives, or they see fields or flowers. I see a little log cabin. It literally looked like a Swedish sauna because I was born and raised in Sweden, a little log cabin.

[00:07:30] I open the door. I look inside, but it's empty. So I'm like, "Wow, where's the music coming from?" I look to my left, and I open the door. Look inside. But it's empty. And then I become aware of this very bright white light, and it's almost like a fog, a fog that's rolling in and just surrounding you in this white light.

[00:07:52] And as I turn around in my spirit form into this light, I see this, it's like an outline of angels. I don't see the angels. I see an outline, like the silhouette of angels, but the music is coming from the angels in this white light. But I'm also aware of the fact that I don't really believe in angels, but I'm still having this experience and I'm seeing angels.

[00:08:14] But that's just my own skeptical self. If they had showed me something that I believed in, I would have said, that's my brain making that up. I wanted to see that. But I experienced things that I didn't believe in, and I didn't have a belief system in place to support it. So that light though, that light is what we come from.

[00:08:35] We are part of that light. It is unconditional love and light, and that is God. That is source, whatever you want to call it. But that's what we come from. And we carry that light within us. And then I became aware of two spirit guides, and the spirit guide on my right says to the other one, "What is she doing here? She can't be here."

[00:08:56] And I'm like, "No, no, no. Wait a second. How can I be outside my body and still be me? How does this work?" And the spirit guide on my left says, "If I told you, you wouldn't remember." So there's some kind of mechanism where there's some control over what we get to remember, which could explain why some people who have heart attacks and things and they're actually dead for several minutes, they don't have any memories because they weren't supposed to.

[00:09:22] People say they got wiped. They are not supposed to have that memory. Anyway, so he says, "If I told you, you wouldn't remember, but you will remember this." And then it's like I'm standing on the moon looking down on the Earth, and around the Earth I see what I call the silvery, glittery fishnet.

[00:09:40] Well, this was in 1994, so we didn't have Google yet, but now you can just Google grid around the Earth, and you get a really good idea of what I saw. The spirit guides us. Everything on Earth is connected to each other, but everything on Earth is connected up to this grid. And with that knowledge, I got sent back. And that's literally what has become my work today, that deeper understanding of, how are we all interconnected?

[00:10:09] Kate: Wow. It does not fall lightly on me that an atheist then has two  near-death experiences, and you're giving birth during this 7.4 earthquake in Southern California. Then you have these other experiences, and then you're transformed from atheist who doesn't believe in God, spirit, angels, spirit guides, any of this other worldly realm, even a higher power, and now you're being thrust into-- went in between worlds-- this new world where then you become a medical medium, an oracle, go to medical school in your mid-50s, and really want to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, which is really bridging the gap between your old life and identity and this new life and identity and with the smokescreen effects in between.

[00:10:58] Literally, I feel like you're talking about this character and this really cool film, and I'm sitting here also as you're talking like, "Gosh, I love my show and what I do and the people that I meet, and this is wellness through truth and storytelling. And I think, what a great example of that. You literally can't make this stuff up.

[00:11:16] Lotte: No, exactly. You can't. It is what it is. And I had no belief system in place to support my experience. And it took me 12 years because I started hearing the spirit world the day after my first near-death experience while I was still in the hospital. And that just got more and more and more.

[00:11:37] And it took me 12 years. I'm so skeptical and such a scientist at heart that every time I had an experience and I was told something was going to happen or I would see things before they happened, I would say it's just a coincidence. It was a coincidence. I would just explain it away.

[00:11:53] And it was just so many of those experiences, and when my kids were-- so my daughter is about nine or 10 years old, and my middle kid is about 12,13, so it's been 10 years of this. I'm still skeptical. Okay. It just took me a really long time. And I woke up one morning and I was shown three slides, three images.

[00:12:16] The first image I saw this black scratch going across the van door. And we had a van, so where the kids get in and out on the passenger side. And then the second image was two kids in the car, my middle child, my son in the front seat, and my daughter in the backseat. And then the third image was, I'm leaving a note on the windshield of a black Sedan car.

[00:12:38] I'm like, "Where are the people?" What happened? If I was in an accident, why am I not seeing a police car? Why am I not seeing an ambulance? Why am I not seeing people? I'm just seeing myself leaving a note, but obviously there is an accident. So I tell these two kids, I say, all right, this is what I saw.

[00:12:56] We lived in East Bay, San Francisco, at the time. My kids went to school in the city. So I actually drove them because they were too young to take the subway. I drove them to the city every day. So we went through every single intersection thinking after we cross the Bay Bridge, we get off the Bay Bridge, we go down to the light, we jog left on the city streets, that is the only intersection we can get hit on the right-hand side of the car.

[00:13:19] So every day we get to this intersection, my two kids' nose is pressed up against the windows. "Mom, the coast is clear." So we do this for two weeks and then we're in East Bay, San Francisco, in Walnut Creek, and we come out of the garage of our bookstore, and I'm trying to squeeze onto this very narrow street, but there was a truck offloading boxes for the bookstore.

[00:13:41] There were cars coming in, and it was this little narrow street. So as I make a right hand turn onto that street, the right-hand side of my car scrapes the parked car which is a black Sedan car. So at that moment I just said, "Oh, this is it. Now I know that black scratch going to look." So I get out of my car, walk around the car, see the black scratch exactly the way I had seen it.

[00:14:09] And I just start laughing because I was so happy that after two weeks of driving thinking we are going to be in an accident, when is it going to happen? And that was the accident. People were just staring at me. They probably thought I was the [Inaudible] lady they had ever seen. My hands are thrown up in the air, and I'm just laughing.

[00:14:29] And of course there I am leaving that note on the windshield of the black Sedan car. So I have many, many stories like this, and I tell all these stories in my book because we are all intuitive creatures. So for me, I had to learn to tune into that, to the intuitiveness of it. And so all these different experiences then became verifiable, and I could write things down that I knew about people, and then I watched it happen, or I tried to prevent it from happening.

[00:15:00] But all those experiences took me 12 years, and I left. Because sometimes I meet people and they say, "Yeah, it took me three years." I'm like, "It took me 12." I'm such a skeptic at heart. But I was raised very scientific because my father was a physician. My mom was a hospital floor administrator. I was always surrounded by medicine. So eventually that's what led me to go to med school actually, was the spirit world that told me to do so.

[00:15:25] Kate: Wow. And really combining your love and background of science with your newfound, I guess just appreciation or acknowledgement of the spiritual realm and combining science and spirituality and also becoming this medical medium.

[00:15:41] I'd love for you to talk about that, because that certainly combines the science with the spirituality and that you really consider yourself an oracle and what that really means and how these two mediums really have helped and transformed your life, but how they can benefit all of us, even us listening to what you're saying today.

[00:15:59] Lotte: Yeah, so it's really interesting. So I had all these mediumship experiences with the spirit world dropping in, telling me things for 12 years. And I'm going to start with one day my kids were teenagers and I was looking on the computer and I said, "I can't go back to being a programmer."

[00:16:18] I was a programmer, assistant analyst in my youth. I have to work in the healing arts of some sort. And I found this degree, and it was naturopathic medicine. And I said, "Wow, that is so cool." You study all the regular medical stuff, pharmaceuticals, but then you also study botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture. You get nutrition.

[00:16:39] So your tool bag is so big. And then I realized it was a real medical school. So there's only five of those, real medical schools that you can actually have that focus. So I just closed my computer. I was in my 40s now. I was like, I can't do this.

[00:16:53] Even if I do all the pre-reqs, there's no way they're going to even accept me. So I walked to the kitchen and the spirit world drops in. So this has been going. This is now year 12. This is 2004. My daughter was born in 1992, so it's been 12 years of this. And now I trust in the messages because I've had all these crazy experiences where they're showing me things are going to happen and then they happen.

[00:17:17] So the spirit world drops in and it says, "You have to go to medical school and become a naturopathic doctor." And I was like, "Okay." And they said, "But you're not going to work as a doctor the whole time, but you need a degree for the work you're here to do." And I'm like, "What work?" And they're like, "When the time is right, we'll tell you."

[00:17:36] Kate: These are voices that you're hearing. Just so for people who haven't, a lot of people-- I have experienced what you're experiencing. I don't share it with many people, but when you hear it, you can't unhear it, and they're very clear. And they'll even show me. They'll put everything in all caps, so I know it's them.

[00:17:51] Just to interject here, the people who are like, "What do you mean you heard a voice?" If you could just break it down a little maybe for people who are like your former self, who don't believe in any of this.

[00:18:03] Lotte: No, it's because you think-- in the beginning I would say that's just my brain. It's just a coincidence. I didn't believe in any of it. And then I started writing down when I would get these messages. I started taking notes or writing down because it was before we could take notes on our phone and things like that. It's the 1990s.

[00:18:21] So I would write things down and then I knew. So I could go back three days later or a week later. No, I did write it down. It did happen. It's not my brain playing tricks on me or it's not a coincidence. So I had that confirmation. But when you get those messages, it's always the first thing that comes through. Once you start thinking about it, that's when the doubt comes in. That's when your brain comes in, and it twists things around.

[00:18:47] Kate: Then you forget the message. I just got the chills because I got a download for someone earlier. Thank you for saying this because every time I stop and say to someone, "I'm getting a download or I'm very intuitive. I'm getting a message." A lot of times the message leaves. And so I stop doing that.

[00:19:03] I'll just give the message because people don't know whether it's me or spirit, and they don't care. And every time this happens, people are like, they love the message because I think they feel how profound it is and that it's coming from this higher wisdom. Sorry, I keep interrupting. I'm putting the downloads too to try to explain to people. It's fascinating.

[00:19:22] Lotte: Yeah. And it could be a knowing too. You can just all of a sudden have a knowing this is it. This is what I have to do. Or you hear that voice, but you know it's not in your head. There is a difference. It's like if you have a thought, you know it's your thought. But it's coming from somewhere else.

[00:19:43] Like somebody's sending a radio signal. Like you have a radio antenna in your head and you're getting that signal. So it's a feeling that is coming from somewhere else. You know it's not your thoughts. It's not inside your head. It's like a signal that's being sent to your head and you're just this receiver receiving the information.

[00:20:01] The spirit world then told me I had to write two books. Then they said, "No, wait, three." And I have gotten that exact message in the exact wording from four professional mediums, two in England and two in the United States. Same message that I got in 2004. And that I was here to bring healing and messages to the people.

[00:20:21] I said, "What do you mean messages? What does that mean? And again, it was just when the time is right, we will let you know. Go and get enrolled. And it was two weeks before the community college started up and I could start my pre-reqs.

[00:20:35] So I literally started from the beginning with high school advanced placement biology because I was a business major undergraduate, so I had no science classes. And I went to high school in Sweden, so that didn't count. So I had to start from the beginning and then take chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and all the stuff. And then eventually applied into med school at 54.

[00:20:56] But once I was in med school, because I know you asked about the medical medium and how that came about, so here I am in med school, and once you become a third year medical school student, you start going on shift. And in the beginning, you're following the other, the senior people.

[00:21:13] And I started knowing things about the patients that I hadn't even been assigned yet. So I would get to shift, and they would say, "Okay, you are taking," and I'm making up a name, "Susan Johnson." So they'll hand me the case and then I would go in and ask that patient the questions. Why are you here? What's troubling you?

[00:21:31] And I would have seen that patient. So when I saw the patient, I would've seen that patient before in my meditation and I would have written down-- again, writing down, making sure I'm not playing tricks on myself and my brain because it's easy to say it's just a deja vu.

[00:21:47] I did that to myself for years. So I learned to write all these things down, things I saw in meditation, things that just came to me. Because it was the only way I could really verify that I wasn't just making things up or having deja vu experiences. So it started like that. And then as soon as I graduated from medical school in 2016, I was doing my residency, and a new patient would walk through the door. And I would hear the spirit world give me a diagnosis, and it would say, "Lung cancer."

[00:22:17] I'd go, "What do you mean lung cancer?" So do the whole workout and then figure out that this patient had had cancer in their youth. Patient was now in their 70s, came in for a tickled cough, but didn't cough once during an hour-- I spent an hour with that person. Listened to the lungs. Completely clear.

[00:22:35] It was not one peep in those lungs. And I said, "You're worried about it. You had some cancer on your lungs when you were in your 20s, and they radiated those. I can't hear anything on your lungs. That they're clear. But you're complaining of the tickle cough. So let's do an x-ray. Do the x-ray. A couple of days goes by. Comes back. What does it say?

[00:22:57] Most likely lung cancer. So then at that point, I had to hand it over because you have to go to a specialist. So I handed it over to the integrative oncologist in the clinic, and literally I think he passed away three or four months later, but he was the sole caretaker for his wife who had dementia.

[00:23:16] And by him getting the diagnosis allowed him to put all the paperworks in order, get care for his wife, check himself into hospice, and then he passed away. And it was so hard me because that's when the diagnosis started to come through. I would just get a diagnosis, and I was studying mediumship at Arthur Findlay College in England at that point to try and hone my skills so that instead of just getting messages for myself, like, how do I work so that I can get messages on demand for other people?

[00:23:46] And I was really upset about this particular patient. I said, "What was the point of that?" Why did they tell me that this patient had lung cancer if I couldn't save them? It wasn't my job to save them. And my teachers just looked at me and they said, "Why do you think that is?" And I said, "So that I would listen when they speak all the time."

[00:24:05] And they said, "Absolutely. You're right." And so going forward, now my work is-- I work a lot as a medical medium or medical intuitive, and I'm going to say I couldn't do both because I always work with the spirit world. I always work with our spirit guides. And so I work mediumistic with patients or, clients around the world.

[00:24:25] But I also work intuitively because I also tune into their body. So I work psychically with my spirit guides. But many times I have gotten the diagnosis of somebody that's not even on the screen yet. So before I turn on my screen, I ask the spirit world, let's say, "Okay, what's wrong with Diana, the next client?"

[00:24:46] And the spirit world will say, "They need surgery. They have endometriosis. And then they'll start talking and they'll say, "I have all these allergies and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." And I'm like, "I know I'm going to switch subjects here, but--" and then I have to tell them, "The spirit guy told me that you have endometriosis, and that is the underlying reason. Tell me about your periods." Oh my gosh, my periods are so bad and so painful and blah, blah, blah.

[00:25:10] And so many times you I get that diagnosis, and I've gotten many different diagnosis, and sometimes I get a diagnosis and I said, "The spirit guide tells me you have this. Has anybody ever told you that, that you have that?" And they're like, "No, I don't even know what that is." And then because of my medical education, I can say, "This disease has these kind of symptoms. Do you have experiences of these symptoms?" And they look at me and they go, "Yeah, that's exactly my issue. I have all those."

[00:25:42] So it's really interesting. Now I finally understand what they meant back in 2004 when they said you're not to work as a doctor in a clinic, but you need the degree for the work you're here to do. But now I understand that my work here is to work spiritually with people as a medical medium, as a medical intuitive, but I also have the education and background and I understand what it is that I'm saying versus somebody who doesn't have a medical education. They serve a purpose too, but it's very different.

[00:26:14] I typically get a lot of people that are falling through the cracks. They're not feeling well. They've done all the lab tests. They've done all the workups, the ultrasound, the MRIs, and nothing shows up. And often those are the people I get, but it's so rewarding because I can help those people now. But now I understand it's really the combination of having that science background, but also working spiritually with people to create that healing that is just so needed in our world.

[00:26:43] Kate: It really is the one-two punch. And I think to a degree, we all have psychic gifts and powers and can tune in and have some of the clairvoyancy, clairsentient, clairaudient. I'll let you speak about that. But I certainly have tapped into some of these psychic gifts and powers that I feel I was given or tapped into after my love, Sam, crossed over to the other side.

[00:27:07] And I think that he brought these out of me and wanted us to be able to communicate in a deeper, more meaningful way and be in tune with this. And I think a lot of people have this, but block it out, don't believe in it for whatever reason. Think it's crazy, coincidence, all the things that you've discussed.

[00:27:23] And that's why I love that it's coming from you, someone who didn't believe. And it took not 12 days, 12 months, 12 years to really get on board here. But seeing this as an asset and as a gift. And I'm curious how you think we can all really own and embrace these gifts. Maybe we're not all going to become a medical medium or a psychic medium or do any of this or give anybody any of the thoughts that we're hearing.

[00:27:46] We won't share those with anyone but ourselves. But I think it is a gift. I think for me, it's gotten me ahead of certain situations in the business world. Or again, my brain says, "This person's really nice." But my body and my mediumship and my psychic abilities are saying, stay away from this person and showing me things about this person."

[00:28:09] And so it goes against how I was raised of being a nice girl when my whole body is screaming and I'm hearing the messages loud and clear that I write down about what's really going on with this person. And it can be scary to experience, but then also lonely because I could call you up now. But there's most people you go to with this. They'll be like, "You're crazy." Or like, "Do you really believe that?" Or, "What are you talking about?" So it can be very lonely and isolating as well.

[00:28:34] Lotte: Yeah, absolutely. And like you said, everybody has this ability. We are intuitive creatures. We all have intuition. We've all had this feeling of I shouldn't do that, or I shouldn't take that road, and then there's an accident or backup. We're all intuitive creatures. But it's just a matter of always listening.

[00:28:56] It's like fine tuning that antenna. And I'm going to say the best way to become more intuitive is to create that silence within yourself. Because if you're watching the television, let's say you're in college and you're in your dorm room watching television, but everybody's having a party that night. You keep turning up the volume because you can't hear it.

[00:29:19] But once everybody finally goes to bed and it's quiet, you can turn the volume way down and now you can hear it. That's the same thing when we are communicating with the spirit world. We have to go into that quiet space in order to fine tune that radio signal so that we can hear what lies beyond.

[00:29:38] Because we are human creatures, and our nervous system is going to keep us aware of everything that's going on. And if you are lying on your bed, meditating, you are still going to be alert because if there is a fire in the kitchen, you better notice it because you got to get out of the house. So your body is never going to turn off.

[00:29:57] It's always safeguarding you, is always trying to keep you safe. So a lot of people that start meditating, they get frustrated because they say, "I have so many thoughts." I think of the grocery list. I got to do this. I got to do that. That's just normal. You just say, "Okay, I see the grocery list." Put it aside. "Oh, I see the grocery list again." I put it aside.

[00:30:17] And it's just the more you practice that, the less you're going to be interrupted, because our minds are very busy. And everybody figures out the best way of doing that, sitting quietly in the garden, lying down on the bed, listening to meditation music, or a guided meditation.

[00:30:32] And you just have to figure out what works for you. What works for your friend doesn't necessarily work for you. But you have to create that quiet. The only way to improve your intuitive and medium mystic skills is through meditation. So it is like the bridge, the portal into the other world is when you meditate, because that's when you create that stillness within you.

[00:30:57] The more you meditate, the easier it is to connect. So it just becomes a practice. After many, many years, you can more easily tune in. In the beginning, you might have to meditate an hour before you feel like you're becoming intuitive. But as you do that for years, you become more intuitive automatically, I'm going to say. So you just pick things up.

[00:31:18] Kate: I think working with people like you can also bring our gifts out, and the more you practice it. And I think the more that we really own and honor it as a power and as a gift as opposed to anything else. Because for me, I've become more practiced at listening, and I understand why some people block it out.

[00:31:36] First of all, people block it out with all the distractions, the numbing and suppressing, and all the things. And a lot of people, I'm not in this group, do not want to sit quietly in a room alone and really reflect and process. But I'll hear things. Even before the LA fires, my body, intuition, psychic, everything just kept saying, "I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go."

[00:31:56] I look at it as like, I don't have kids, but like my little 7-year-old self, it's like you're at a party and your kid's like, "Mommy, I'm ready to go." For me, it's that vibe. And so my little kid, that voice says, "I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go." And my brain, my intellect says, "I love Los Angeles." Or it's like, it's December and 70 and sunny. What do you mean?

[00:32:16] And then it's like, I'm saying to my child self, my intuition, "Well, where are we going?" And so there's all those practical matters too. Or someone may say, you know you have to leave this relationship. And your brain says, what about the kids? What about finances? What about what people think? I don't want to blow up my whole life. But your body and your intuition is screaming.

[00:32:35] So what is your advice for us who, we've heard the call, we're getting the messages, we're now writing down, but we're not taking action out of fear or disbelief? Because you were once in that place, I'd love your guidance on how we kind of integrate all of it.

[00:32:53] Lotte: Yeah. That goes into, why is it that you're not taking action? Why is that? Why are you doubting? So I'm going to say that goes into now ancestral healing because there are so many things, so many struggles or issues that we have in everyday life that we haven't even questioned why we have the issues because they're just part, I'm going to say, of our existence.

[00:33:19] We're just used to it. And a lot of it sits in your subconscious mind. But whenever we don't know exactly why, if you are in a relationship or you keep attracting the wrong person, how many hundreds of people have I worked with who say, I'm in my fourth relationship? I finally figured it out.

[00:33:39] And I said, "Yeah, I bet those first relationships were all the same kind of guy." And they're like, "Yes." Because we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, because of the ancestral history. So we have to take a look at, where did we come from? What was your mom and dad like?

[00:33:55] Where did they come from? What was their parents like? All the ancestors. And who did what and who had what issues? And whatever is not in ancestral healing, whatever is not resolved by your ancestor is typically traumatic events that they didn't know how to resolve. So when things that we sweep under the carpet-- you're at the Christmas dinner and you say, "Let's talk about Uncle Billy." And then your mom turns towards you and says, "Shh. We don't talk about uncle Billy."

[00:34:23] Kate: We don't talk about Uncle Billy. Which I can't stand all the family sweeping everything under the rug. The avoidance, I'm so done with that.

[00:34:32] Lotte: But all those things that were swept under the rug becomes an ancestral issue. And because it wasn't resolved by that generation and it was swept under the carpet, guess what? It gets passed down to the next generation. And then now somebody who is an offspring is dealing with the ramifications of whatever that issue was.

[00:34:53] So it's really interesting how-- and we have actually DNA, evidence now of the Holocaust survivors and how they survived the Holocaust and now they're looking at the grandchildren. I know one of the genes was the FKBP5 gene and how that is now altered because of the experience they had.

[00:35:14] So it sets us up-- we're spiritual creatures. We carry the DNA of our ancestors. That's one component. But we are also entangled with our ancestors via quantum physics because if you know anything about quantum physics or quantum mechanics and the people that won the Nobel Prize in physics, a year or two ago, that proved the entanglement of different atoms.

[00:35:38] So if you have two apples, let's say you have two apples, and then you have another two apples, and then one apple from each pair meets the other, but the other apples don't meet each other. Those apples that were left behind are now entangled because their partner apple met the other partner apple.

[00:36:00] So you become entangled. So think about how entangled you are, and that's quantum physics. But that is also what I see when I work with people in ancestral healing. Because when we create healing for ourselves-- and I work with a lot of people that communication has been cut off.

[00:36:16] I don't talk to my mom anymore. Or my child doesn't talk to me anymore. When we do these healings, they sign up for an ancestral healing session, and we go through the healing, they always end with me taking them on a healing journey with soul-to-soul communication about the person where this wound is coming from.

[00:36:37] And it's fascinating. And so many times, two or three weeks goes by, and I'll get an email. And I'll say, "Guess who just called me. My daughter or my son that I haven't spoken to in two years or three years." And that is that, like what Einstein calls spooky action at a distance. Or maybe we want to say spooky magic at a distance because it's magical. Because this one person goes through and creates healing for themselves.

[00:37:05] But we send healing to the ancestors, and we send healing forward in time. But because that person is changing, other things change around them. So it's fascinating. I had one client tell me-- we did an ancestral healing session, came from a troubled background, and she emailed me a few weeks later and she said, "I just had my brother and his family over, and he said, I know something changed with you. I can see that you're healing. And because I can see that you are healing, I have decided to go to counseling."

[00:37:35] And she almost fell off her chair and she said, "All I did was have an ancestral healing session with you." That's all that changed. But that is that quantum entanglement that we are entangled with everybody around us. It goes back to that grid that I saw when the spirit guide said everything on Earth is connected to each other, but everything on Earth is connected up to this grid.

[00:37:56] Because we are entangled, when we do healing for ourselves, that is going to rub off because we resonated and entrained with everything around us, whether it has a heart or not. We resonated and entrained with trees and grass and plants and animals. And that's actually the heart space. But we are so entangled with each other, and even the ancestors that came before us that we never even met. Because we come from that lineage. But when you create healing for yourself, you also create healing for your whole family.

[00:38:27] I call it the soul family. Everybody that's part of your life journey, the ancestors, the people that are here with you in this lifetime, and people that are coming after you. And it's miraculous the things that happen and how life changing it is for people to go through this healing. And that's also what I've been teaching, at the Shift Network.

[00:38:46] And I'm teaching a course there right now about this. And it's amazing how people will tell me how it completely changed their life when they go through. We create the awareness. Once we have awareness of why it is that we're struggling with something, we can also heal it. It's just a matter of creating that awareness.

[00:39:07] Kate: Oh, thank you for your depth and wisdom and combining the spirit with the intellect. It's so refreshing. These are my favorite kind of conversations to have. I can't help but ask, for those of us taking on the ancestral healing-- and I would certainly love to do a session with you. It does sound magical. And I've done some where, yeah, you are communicating with someone in the spirit realm, even if they are still living. You're not having that direct conversation that you and I are having, and you do feel things shift.

[00:39:34] What loving advice or guidance could you give to those of us who maybe still have a little bit of lingering resentment because we're the only ones taking on this work that isn't easy, as you know. Very rewarding, but challenging. Sometimes expensive. Takes a lot of energy, and no one around you is choosing to play in this ballpark and you are.

[00:39:58] And so you're seeing some rewards, and you want these rewards for your relatives. It's the people we love to be at their best and they're just not interested or willing for whatever reason. And we feel ourselves moving further and further away from loved ones. Even because of this, we're getting better, but then our relationships with them don't feel as connected.

[00:40:21] I would just love, because I think it's not just me-- and I always put myself and my business out there on my show, but I think that's why some people resist taking this on, or they don't believe in it, or it would have to unravel too much and too many stories in their own lives that they just don't even take it on. I would just love to hear your thoughts on this for all of us to do the work to keep it going, and if ancestral healing is for everyone.

[00:40:46] Lotte: Absolutely. I'm going to say the number one thing to remember is, think about yourself. What issues are you struggling with? What would you like to change in your life? Are you happy in your relationship? Are you happy with your job? Are you happy in life? Are you doing the things you love? Or do you wake up every morning and go, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's another day. It's Monday?"

[00:41:10] Or you're like, "It's Monday. Oh my God. I can't wait to do my work. But if you're not waking up and you're not excited about your life, start looking in the mirror and say, what is it that I'm not happy about? And how can I change that? Now, sometimes it seems impossible to change.

[00:41:29] I can't change because it's going to cost too much money. Or if I separated from my partner, I wouldn't be able to support myself, and he's not going to gimme any money. Or you have all these different issues. But the truth is, only you are in charge of your life. Nobody else is in charge of your life.

[00:41:49] Your life and the way you are living your life is up to you. You are the decision maker. You are the pilot of your life. And when you decide to do things that seems impossible at times, things somehow work out. They just do because you're doing the right thing. The spirit world is ready to support you.

[00:42:09] They're like, "Oh my gosh, look at that. Mary finally took that step forward, and she's going down the path. She thought she wasn't going to support herself. But let's get her this job. Let's make sure she gets that job." And I'm going to say, this is the spirit world working in the background.

[00:42:23] We can't see that because we're in this little human body with a very limited little brain, having this human experience in our body suits. And we're just plugging along. But we truly are in charge of our life. It's just a matter of taking charge and saying, "I'm going to change. I don't like this the way it is. I don't like how I'm unhappy in my relationship or whatever it is. I'm going to change."

[00:42:48] We can't change our family members. Let's say you had a mother that just wasn't able to see you and hear you, maybe have been verbally abusive, or maybe had some substance abuse. She just couldn't be there for you. At least not the way you needed her to be.

[00:43:05] And many times, all the hurt and things that we stuff down in childhood, we hold all those feelings in our body. But the truth is we would like them to come out and say, "I am so sorry for way I was when you were little. I should have known to be a better mom, or I should have been known to do this for you."

[00:43:26] Most likely that is never going to happen because they can't change. But you incarnated to be the healer. You're the one who says, "I can change it. I can change my life. I can be in charge of my life. I can be happy in my life, and I can heal myself." Where you can send healing to them.

[00:43:44] And many times, when you do the work and you're the healer, you will see a shift in them, and there's something that changes because you are frequency changed. And just do that radical acceptance of that's who that person is, and they're never going to change. And I'm fine with that because guess what? I'm happy.

[00:44:01] I'm happy with me, and I'm happy with what I'm doing. I can see the issues that my mom has or my brother, or whoever it is, and I know I can't change them. They're on their journey. They might have incarnated to have this experience because I'm going to say we all come with a little bit of a movie protocol of our experiences and that we're to have in this life.

[00:44:25] And I know that a lot of my own experiences are in my astrological charts when I have worked with astrologers, and they'll say, "Yes, July 10th, 1992, you had a  near-death experience. I can see it in your chart. It was supposed to be on that day because the planets were lined up in the specific way, the same way when you were born, and all these different things." And it served as a memory for you to why you incarnated into this life.

[00:44:55] You had to have an out-of-body experience to put yourself on this path and become spiritual and work with people in this fashion. And many other things are in my chart, is in my numerology chart. It's in my astrology chart. It's in my Mayan calendar chart. It doesn't matter who I work with or who I've had looked into, but it all comes back to the same thing.

[00:45:17] This is who I am. This is what I incarnated to do, and I think to a certain extent we incarnate to have an experience. And when you look at your relatives, if you had that mom that couldn't see you, maybe she incarnated to have this experience. We don't know why, but she's learning something about being this way in this life.

[00:45:39] And that's probably in her chart somewhere. And then you came in to create healing. You said, "Hey, I'll take that sticky note." I always like the sticky note analogies. You're at the cafe up in this very spirit world, and you're like, "Hey, give me number 475. I'll take that one. And then I'll take number 33. I can resolve that one."

[00:46:01] And you incarnate into the Earth and you have all these sticky notes on you with all these different issues you signed up to resolve. And you're like, "Okay, fixed the relationship one. Fixed the mother one." And you just literally peel off your sticky notes as you go through life and resolve each of the issues you incarnated to have.

[00:46:20] Now, what you eat for dinner is probably not in your chart, but I'm going to say from my own experience, what I have learned is that all those big experiences that I've had are all in the chart. So there must be some kind of a movie script running in the background saying "You reincarnated to have these experiences in this life."

[00:46:40] Kate: Then there is free will with it. And I think what's so powerful is when we go through things that some would label as catastrophic or negative or heartbreaking, while that may be true, we can take it as an opportunity to grow and to heal. And I think me growing up where I was told things were black when they were white or white when they were black, for instance, I've always been this seeker of the truth.

[00:47:06] And now I'm doing a show that is about truth and storytelling and getting to the bottom of things and asking deep questions to get deep answers and not believing everything I hear, whether it's family or society, wherever we grow up in the world. Especially what it means to be a woman and what choices we have or don't have and how we act or don't act, and to question everything.

[00:47:27] And so I think when we can look at even this gentleman that I dated and how he tried to destroy me, I think, wow. But I use that as a catalyst for great transformation and growth. And so I'm so grateful despite how painful it is, and I just invite everybody to start looking at their circumstances in this way and that our relationships, our assignments, and our family members and romantic partners and friends, are our teachers.

[00:47:53] But it can be daunting. And I think that's why it's so healing and helpful to have these conversations and to get advice and knowledge from people who were once non-believers. Because as you're talking to, I'm so on board, I love this. I'm into it. And part of me, this is an old pattern. I'm like, "Who cares? Block that out."

[00:48:10] But I can't help but think or ask, do you ever judge yourself or did you judge yourself? Or do you worry about the judgment of others? Because you're talking about concepts and ideas that aren't always mainstream or that not everybody understands or wants to understand. How do you grapple with that, if at all?

[00:48:27] Lotte: Yeah. I'm going to say I used to. When I graduated from med school 2016, I was petrified. Because I said, "Oh, I can't tell people I'm getting all this spiritual knowledge about my patients and all of that." And by 2019, that was it. I was out in the open. And I said, "No, doesn't matter. Don't care what you think. This is who I am." I know this is my work. I came to the world to help people find themselves, find their true selves, step into their own power.

[00:49:02] And it reminds me, because I do this session-- when I work one-on-one with people, I have a session that's called Messages From Your Spirit Guides. And I think that's fascinating because I didn't even know how to draw. And when I was studying mediumship at Arthur Findlay college, they said, "Oh, no, you have to draw."

[00:49:17] And I'm like, "No, you don't understand. I can't draw. I draw stick figures. I always wanted to know how to draw. I can't draw." And my teacher said, "No, you have to draw." Anyway in 2020, during the pandemic, I took this class online because it was the pandemic, with Arthur Findlay College.

[00:49:35] And she said, "All right, we're going to draw what we see in the spirit world." And I'm like, "I can't draw. This is going to be fun." So she draws on her easel, on her book, and I'm watching on screen. I can see the face before she's even drawn any features on the face. I already know what the face looks like. So I was like, "Wow, this is crazy." And then I'm trying to follow along. I've never drawn a face in my whole life. Totally honest when I say I drew stick figures because I did not know how to draw.

[00:50:05] Anyway, so then I draw this face. I just copy what she's doing. I'm like, "Wow. It's a face." I'm surprising myself. So then she goes, "All right, I'm going to put you in groups now." I'm like, "I'm supposed to draw now? That was it? That was my lesson?" So she puts us in group, two to two, and we had to draw a spirit that came in.

[00:50:26] And many times when you're working, when you're training in mediumship, it's often your relatives that come in. So I'm working with this woman in Denmark, and I'm just drawing, and I'm laughing, and she's like, "What are you doing?" I keep erasing. And I said, "The spirit keeps telling me--" I said, "I thought it was a man. I'm drawing a man. But now I keep hearing, I have prettier lips. My lips are prettier."

[00:50:48] And I'm trying to make the lips pretty. And she starts laughing and she goes, "I know who it is." And I was like, "You do?" And she goes, "Yeah, it's my dad." And she says, her dad, he was very good looking, but he had very pretty lips. And so right away we knew it was her father.

[00:51:06] But now, when I work with messages from spirit guides, the first five minutes I tune into the spirit world and I see the spirit guide. And then in five minutes I sketch the spirit guide, and then I'll know a lot of things about the client. Because the client is a reflection, almost like a mirror image in some way.

[00:51:26] They don't look like the spirit guide, but what they're here to learn and know or do is a reflection of the spirit guide because the spirit guide is an expert in what that person is here to learn in this life. So it's absolutely fascinating, and I think some of the funniest stories is once I had this guy on the screen, and he looked like-- he was a petite man and little round glasses.

[00:51:50] And I said to myself, this man must be an accountant. This is the classic idea what an accountant would look like for me, like a movie. And that spirit guide kept saying, "I'm a warrior. I'm like a Viking. I'm a warrior." I'm like, "This will be the day. He's not going to understand this."

[00:52:10] So anyway, I tell him, I said, "Your spirit guide, he's a warrior. He fights. He goes after everything. He wants justice in the world. He's like a Viking. You drop him off in the woods, he can't live there for a week with just a knife. He's the warrior." And he starts laughing and he goes, "I'm a retired police officer. And yes, I am a warrior and I'm still fighting for a lot of corruption and things like that." Even though he's retired. So it was completely spot on. He didn't look like the spirit guide, but that is who he was.

[00:52:42] But that is what comes through every single time. It is the messages. And many times, people are at a crossroads and they're thinking, do I go in this direction or that direction? What am I really supposed to do? And that's very fascinating because sometimes the spirit guide will say, this person is doing this and doing that.

[00:53:05] It's a healer. And they're here to counsel people. And also this person is writing a book. The book is not written yet, but it's coming out. And I'm saying, "The spirit guide says that you're writing a book. Are you writing a book?" And they're be like, "Yes." So it's fascinating because it's mediumship with the person's spirit guide.

[00:53:25] I'm going to say, that is my most fun session because it's very fun to know who your spirit guide is. And I'm going to say we have a team of spirit guides, but the one that comes through is the main spirit guide. It's the one that's always with you, that's always helping you along, making sure you're learning the lessons you're learning in this life.

[00:53:44] They're like your best buddy. They're always with you. They're always there. They're your companion in life. But people don't even know that they have power animals. They have spirit guides. We have our ancestors. And even the ones that were mean to us when we were alive, they're nice now because they're in the spirit world. Even those people that we might think that that person would never support me-- my uncle was so mean and he never talked to me and blah, blah, blah.

[00:54:10] But when they go to the spirit world, they become your support. Your ancestors hold your back, and they're always there to support you, as are your spirit team, spirit guides, and power animals, etc. So we're surrounded by helpers all the time.

[00:54:25] Kate: Yeah. And you can believe or not believe, but I choose to believe. It is like God or anything else. God is not religious to me. God is love to me and that ever present force who loves me. And I just choose to believe in these things and then do the research and, like science, learn even more to help myself and to feel less alone.

[00:54:47] For me, it's an empowerment tool. Again, I get ahead of what's happening here in the 3D world because I'm in tune with higher dimensions and getting those messages and taking them to heart. And it really is, I think, all of us could trust more on our journey, surrender and trust.

[00:55:05] I'm great at trust, and there's moments where it's like, are you really trusting? Because you're freaking out a little bit here about some of these material things. And so it is that good reminder. When I hear your journey, Dr. Lotte, I think reinvention. I think courage. I think otherworldly. I think brilliant.

[00:55:24] I think fresh start. So many incredible words to really describe your journey. And I think what you can offer so much hope to people is that I think a lot of people feel stuck on their journeys because of their age, gender, socioeconomic status, whatever. And you have really proven that you can switch course at any time.

[00:55:47] You can choose again. You can have a whole different belief system, and that really helps you fulfill your purpose. So maybe if someone is struggling out there or maybe they're killing it in their career, but relationships are struggling, whatever-- I feel like everyone is struggling with something now. And I say that lovingly, and I'm one of those people. There's a lot to navigate right now. Your story offers so much hope and inspiration.

[00:56:11] What is a message that you could share with us in terms of not giving up or having the courage to choose again or to even embrace a whole new perspective?

[00:56:23] Lotte: I am going to say life is like a rollercoaster. Sometimes you're at the top and sometimes you're at the bottom. But when you are at the bottom of that rollercoaster ride and you feel like, what's even the point? Why am I even here? Everybody goes through these moments in their life. And just remember that nothing lasts forever.

[00:56:44] This is temporary. When you go through these hardships, it's temporary. Something good always comes out of it. Even when you think that this is it. We're going to end up homeless, or now we have to move. It just seems like the whole world is falling apart. Everybody's dying.

[00:57:01] When I was in my third year in med school, everybody, it was just crazy. I separated from my husband. in January, my dog died. In May, my brother-in-law died. And in June, my cat died. In July, my other cat died, and my uncle died. And then in September, the best friend of the family died. And in November, my mother-in-law passed away.

[00:57:27] So it was a year. It was crazy. Everything around me just fell away. Everybody was dying, people that I thought was going to show up. I was looking forward to my graduation. All these people are going to come, and I love all these people. They were all gone by the time I graduated. They were all gone.

[00:57:48] So sometimes it's like that, but guess what? It was in my astrological chart. So I'm just going to say, sometimes when it seems like things are not going the right way or you're wondering what's even the point of all this, you probably just say to yourself, "Okay, I incarnated for this. It's temporary. Something good is going to come from it."

[00:58:11] Because it's always like that. It's almost like you have to close the doors behind you so that you can open the new doors. So imagine you can only have seven doors open at any given time, so you have to close some of the doors in order to open the new ones that have new adventures and new things coming into your life.

[00:58:28] It's like that. So just remember, when you're going through hard times, it's temporary. Something good is going to come from it. It's a rollercoaster ride. Try to stay in the present because that's all you really have. We can all dream about the future, but guess what? You're dreaming about that new car, that vacation, that new house, that perfect husband or boyfriend.

[00:58:50] But you could die in a car accident tomorrow. So instead of focusing on the future, focus on the present. Who am I today? What can I do today to make myself feel better? And just keep focusing on putting one foot in front of the other, it's just this, just this, to everything that comes up.

[00:59:11] I'm just going to apply for this new job. I'm just going to go on this new date. I'm just going to do this. And just take one step at a time, and everything will unfold beautifully because we're all in a divine incarnation and everything is perfect in the end, though it doesn't always seem perfect when we're living our lives. But just trust that. Trust that it's all going to work out because it always does.

[00:59:37] Kate: And just one person. There's this notion too that we have to change a million lives to be worthy of anything. And even just changing one life, if that one life is ourselves and changing ourselves for the better, and to give ourselves the best chance and potential at fulfilling our life's mission. Just one person and really starting there.

[00:59:57] I don't want to keep you too much longer. I know we got a lot going on, but I just wanted to quickly talk about clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, all the clairs, just to give people a little taste of what that is if they don't know, and how we can all tap into our-- what are we calling them? Clairpowers? How do you say it?

[01:00:15] Lotte: Witch powers.

[01:00:17] Kate: The clairvoyant, the clairaudience, are those our clairpowers? How do we describe those?

[01:00:23] Lotte: Yeah. All the clairs. So clairvoyant meaning you're seeing things. You get images. So a lot of my work is I get a lot of images. Then  clairaudient, you're hearing something. So that's that radio signal coming in. And it's not your brain. It's not your thought.

[01:00:40] It's like a thought that's being put in your head in a different way. And then we have that clairsentient, which is when we feel. And when I work as a medical intuitive or even a medium, doing mediumship readings, connecting with loved ones in the spirit world, I feel it. I feel it in my body.

[01:00:57] So, for example, I did a reading not long ago, and I said, "Okay, I have your mother. It's your mom that's here. It feels like a mom. Do you have a mom in the spirit world?" "Yes." And then the client said, "Could you ask her how she died? Because we don't really know exactly what it was."

[01:01:19] And I tuned in and I said, "Okay, I'm dizzy. So that's the clairsentient. You're feeling things right. So I was like, "I feel dizzy, so I'm going to say that she had a stroke, or something because I feel really dizzy." And then it ends there. And he said, "Yeah, we found her on the floor next to her bed. And the doctors say they think she had a stroke, but they weren't sure because they didn't do an autopsy."

[01:01:41] But it's really interesting so that those things can come through when you're feeling it. Or I'll say, I feel like this person had breast cancer because literally I can feel it hurts in my chest or my breasts. So there's something about that. Or I can feel it, this person had ovarian cancer because I can feel it in my ovaries.

[01:02:01] It's really interesting. So you can get the feeling in your body. It's just like the confirmation from the spirit world. You get the goosebumps. The goosebumps in the spirit world, it's like, yes, you got it. It's the spirit world saying, "Yes, you heard the message correct. You understand the message correctly." And they goosebump us.

[01:02:21] And that's also a clairsentient. We feel those goosebumps, and that's the confirmation from the spirit world. So we all have these clairs. When I work as a medium and connecting with loved ones in the spirit world, I'm going to say 80% is clairvoyance, so I see a lot of images. And I'll say, they're showing me-- I did a reading the other day and I said, "I see a child's birthday party."

[01:02:47] We knew that this was a 19-year-old young man that had passed away. And I said, "He keeps showing me a children's birthday party and party hats." And she starts laughing. She goes, "He worked part-time as a DJ for children's birthday parties." So, the images that come through are directly connected.

[01:03:07] So it's that young man saying, "Yes, this is it." And then he showed me-- his sister was also present that was still alive on this side. And so I said, "Now, he's showing me a pillow, but it's in the shape of a heart. It's like a heart pillow." And she asked the sister and she said, "Yeah, I know. We shared a heart pillow when we were children."

[01:03:29] I know. It gives you tears because it's so confirming. So it doesn't make any sense to me. I see the image, and I'm saying, "He's showing me this. Does that mean something to you?" And then yes, that's a confirmation. And then different messages comes through of, what it is he's trying to convey.

[01:03:48] But it's fascinating the way we get messages. And then there are other mediums that they've never seen anything in the-- everything they do when they work as a medium is auditory. They hear everything. So for me, I'm going to say it's 80% images and then 10% hearing, 10% feeling.

[01:04:07] So for me, it's more of a combination of all the different clairs, but some people just have one clair, and that's what they do. And they're super famous people, and they work with that one clair. They feel everything. They hear everything. And that's just, I'm going to say this is who we are.

[01:04:22] That's the way the spirit world says, "Well, Dr. Lotte, you got to give her images because that's how she sees. That's how she understands what we're talking about." But the spirit world themselves also are in tune with who we are. They're learning how to communicate with us. So if you get a spirit that might be better auditory, I'm going to get more auditory during that reading versus images. See what I'm saying?

[01:04:49] Because it also depends on how they communicate. Don't forget that they're also communicating with us from the other side. So we're connecting with our radio signals. We got to fine tune the signal and figure out the best way that we can get the signal to come across. So everybody has clairs. It's just a matter of figuring out which is your best clair. That's really what we have to do.

[01:05:12] Kate: And thank you for offering that gift to all of us. What is your favorite part about not only having this gift, but knowing you have the gift, working with it, embracing it, embodying it? What has been your favorite part of this journey and this gift?

[01:05:24] Lotte: Oh, I'm going to say just to be able to bring healing. And deep in my heart, that's who I am, and that's what I incarnated to be, is the healer in this life. Just to bring healing to people in one way or another, whether it's through ancestral healing and figuring out what it is that's working or not working in their life, or through medical medium or medical intuitive to create healing that way. Or healing with messages from spirit guides or doing mediumship and connecting with a loved one on the other side.

[01:05:57] That's just what happened. So the way I actually got into ancestral healing was through mediumship readings. I had four readings in a row that were almost identical. I would get the grandmother, and I would say the grandmother had a really hard life, and she was actually physically abused by your grandfather.

[01:06:15] I see that there were a couple of kids. One of those kids is your mom. Your mother married your father who's also in the spirit world, and he abused your mom the same way her dad abused her mom. And your father was physically abusive towards you because it's showing me that.

[01:06:30] And the client says, "Yes, it's absolutely true." And I had four readings like that in a row. And after that I said, "All right, what's up with this intergenerational trauma that's being passed along?" And that's how I get into ancestral healing, because the spirit world literally guided me on that path and said, "Now it's time to go over here instead of ancestral healing."

[01:06:51] And so that's how the mediumship is combined with the ancestral healing, which is then also combined with my medical education. So it's just become this very deep integration of my different abilities. But it all comes back to helping people heal in one way or another, whether it's physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

[01:07:12] Kate: Mm. Thank you so much. And thank you for being courageous enough to go on this path and to do it regardless of age or regardless of your background or regardless of nearly dying, not once, but twice. It's so remarkable what you've been able to do and to share with the world and share with us here today.

[01:07:31] And I'm so grateful. Everybody, please check out Dr. Lotte. She's got a book, Med School after Menopause. I want to talk quickly about that. Science with Soul Podcast and ways to work together, it's all going to be in my show notes, but I'd love for you to just to take us out with ways to connect and one final message that maybe you're getting a little download that we all need to hear right now. And thank you again for being here.

[01:07:59] Lotte: Yeah, thank you for having me. And the best way to connect would be go to my website, drlotte.com, so D-R-L-O-T-T-E.com. And from there you can see all the different sessions that I offer, and you can just book online. Everything is automated. And also definitely sign up for my newsletter.

[01:08:16] That's how you're going to stay up to date on the different courses and different events, upcoming events. And my book, Med School after Menopause is available on all different platforms, on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, all online platform, Spotify, Audible. It's on Audible as well. And it is my story in much more detail and all different things that happened along the way.

[01:08:39] I'm sharing my journey because I'm hoping that everybody else will realize that it's never too late to transform your life. It's never too late to create healing in your life. And we are all intuitive. And so by learning about my intuitive abilities and how it came about for me, I'm hoping everybody else will also become more intuitive, because that's who we truly are.

[01:09:02] And we are part of this divine Earth, and we are creatures on Earth, but we are part-- we're like a symbiotic relationship. We are creatures of Earth. We create carbon dioxide when we breathe out and the plants breathe in our carbon dioxide. We live here together with the plants, the trees, the animals. So I would say my message to people is to always remember that we are all connected. We are all one, and it is all divine. But so are all of you.

[01:09:38] Kate: Hmm. I'm just taking that in. That was beautiful. Thank you.

[01:09:41] Lotte: Yeah, we are all very special creatures that are all divine. We're all connected. We're all one in the end. It's that reflection of that grid, which is Indra's Net, which I'll talk about in one of my courses. So I also have online courses, how to tune into your spiritual abilities, a self-study course on my website.

[01:10:04] Because I get a lot of questions. How do I become more intuitive? How do I tune into my spirit guide? So if you want to jump on that one, it's a great way to start learning about what can I do to practice. What can I do to become more intuitive myself?

[01:10:18] Kate: Hmm. Thank you so much. It has been such a joy to talk to you. You are such a treasure. I just love and appreciate and respect you so much. You set my soul free, sister, so thank you. My Swedish sister from your German sister over here. People think I'm Swedish until I start talking, and they're like, "Oh, American." So it's such an honor to be with you here and your dog here in the background here today.

[01:10:45] Lotte: Yeah. Thank you so much for having me. My pleasure.

[01:10:49] Kate: Yeah, it was so great. We'll have to do it again. And thank you so much for being here, especially to the end. I know you got so much value out of this conversation. So thank you so much for being here. We'll see you next time same time, same place. Have a good day, everybody. Bye-bye.
