Introduction

In this heartfelt and revealing episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast, host Bunnie XO welcomes Amy Balesky, a renowned TikTok spiritual advisor and medium. The conversation delves deep into Amy's tumultuous journey through trauma, her discovery of mediumship, and her path to healing and empowerment.

Amy's Early Life and Experiences with Trauma

Amy begins by sharing her challenging childhood marked by severe illness and loss. Diagnosed with cancer at the age of five, she underwent extensive chemotherapy, which resulted in the loss of her hair, a kidney, parts of her intestines, and part of her liver.

Amy Balesky [08:01]: "I had cancer when I was five. I lost my right kidney, part of my intestines, and part of my liver from it. And that was my first near-death experience."

During her treatment, Amy began experiencing supernatural phenomena, such as seeing spirits and sensing people's thoughts, which she later understood as part of her spiritual gifts.

Amy Balesky [05:35]: "I was like, I'm always seeing spirits and always like you."

Discovering Mediumship

Amy's ability to communicate with the spiritual realm intensified following her second near-death experience with bacterial meningitis at 16. This event solidified her role as a medium, allowing her to channel spirits and provide insights to others.

Amy Balesky [15:39]: "I had bacterial meningitis. It went up and caused swelling in the brain. After that, I began channeling for people."

Her journey wasn't without challenges. Amy faced skepticism and resistance, especially from her first husband, who labeled her abilities as evil, forcing her to navigate her calling amidst personal turmoil.

Amy Balesky [17:18]: "He told me it was evil. I didn't fully know it, and they didn't really get it either."

Overcoming Challenges and Personal Growth

Despite numerous surgeries and health complications due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome—a connective tissue disorder—Amy's resilience shone through. She underwent 26 surgeries to manage her condition, including life-saving brain surgery at 26, which significantly impacted her physical abilities.

Amy Balesky [20:55]: "Ehlers Danlos syndrome. It's a connective tissue disorder... it falls apart like very easily."

Her experiences with severe health issues deepened her understanding of life's fragility and the importance of living in the present moment, a lesson she emphasizes throughout her spiritual practice.

Amy Balesky [10:10]: "You need to live in the present moment. Life doesn't happen back then or in the future. It's right now."

Amy's Marriage and Finding Love

Amy recounts her brief and tumultuous first marriage, which ended when she discovered her husband's infidelity while she was recovering from brain surgery. Seeking solace and purpose, she returned to Houston with her son, determined to rebuild her life.

Amy Balesky [29:35]: "I left him with my son and a bag of clothes. I moved back to Houston, and I was still in a wheelchair."

Her path to finding love again was unconventional. After a stint of celibacy and numerous unsuccessful relationships, Amy serendipitously met her current husband, Chris, through Tinder—a platform she’d previously dismissed.

Amy Balesky [37:58]: "I messaged him, and that's my husband."

Their relationship is portrayed as a harmonious balance of energies, with Chris being her Taurus and Amy her Scorpio Libra, complementing each other's strengths and supporting one another's spiritual journeys.

Transition to TikTok and Success as a Medium

Initially using TikTok to share cooking videos inspired by her Mexican heritage, Amy's spiritual insights began to gain traction. A pivotal moment came when she combined her mediumship with her online presence, leading to exponential growth in her follower base and professional opportunities.

Amy Balesky [41:24]: "I started making food and Mediumship... cooking medium."

Her authenticity and raw storytelling resonated with audiences, positioning her as the most reviewed and highest-rated medium in the United States.

Amy Balesky [73:57]: "I am now the most reviewed and highest-rated medium in the United States."

Connecting with Spirits: The Case of Aaron Carter

One of the standout moments in the episode is Amy's account of channeling the late pop star Aaron Carter. Through her sessions, Amy provided closure and clarity to Carter's family, revealing truths about his untimely death caused by a seizure induced by drug use.

Amy Balesky [48:40]: "I reached out and contacted Aaron Carter. Three months later, his autopsy confirmed he drowned due to a seizure from drug use."

This interaction not only demonstrated Amy's genuine abilities but also highlighted the profound impact of her work on the living and the departed.

Understanding the Afterlife and Vibration Levels

Amy elaborates on her belief in the afterlife's structure, categorizing spirits based on their vibrational states. She explains that higher vibrations correspond to positive afterlife realms, while lower vibrations align with places like "hell."

Amy Balesky [50:02]: "He was in a very middle vibration, trying to help his sister move to a higher vibration."

Amy emphasizes that spirits aren't stuck; they have the agency to ascend by helping those they've harmed, underscoring the importance of love and forgiveness in spiritual evolution.

Amy Balesky [46:52]: "Nobody's ever stuck. They can move up by helping those they've hurt."

Amy's Advice on Living in the Present

A recurring theme in the conversation is the significance of mindfulness and present-moment awareness. Both Bunnie and Amy discuss overcoming anxiety and depression by anchoring themselves in the now, rather than dwelling on the past or fearing the future.

Amy Baleski [10:14]: "My favorite phrase is, you need to live in the present moment."

Amy shares practical techniques for grounding oneself, such as focusing on one's immediate environment and using tactile objects like water bottles to manage panic attacks.

Amy Baleski [11:30]: "Just focus on what the mic looks like... Take a deep breath in, breathe out. Just focus on that."
