In this episode, Kathleen sits down with psychic detective and medium Todd Segal (joining from Williamsburg, Virginia) for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about intuition, psychic detective work, and what it’s like to live with heightened perception in a very “logical” world.

Todd shares how his path unfolded unexpectedly--from running a New England bed-and-breakfast on spiritually active land, to giving spontaneous “breakfast table” readings, to realizing (after thousands of “coincidences”) that what he was receiving wasn’t imagination--it was clear, detailed vision. Kathleen and Todd also revisit the real-life cases that first connected them: the missing hiker in Maui and a subsequent search for an elderly neighbor who wandered into dense terrain--cases where Todd’s specific details (including the presence of wild pig trails) matched what searchers found.

Together, they explore the tension many people feel between logic and intuition--especially those in the military or law enforcement--along with why intuitive people often struggle to “read” themselves. Todd also discusses discernment, the risks of perceiving what others don’t want known, and why stepping into one’s true work can relieve depression and restore purpose.

As the conversation expands, Todd touches on broader themes: intense weather patterns and solar activity, a growing societal divide, and a bigger “cosmic” perspective--suggesting we’re living inside a much larger reality, with human evolution driven not only by technology but by changes in our own awareness and “waking up” over time. The episode closes with warmth and humor, including Todd’s dream of windsurfing as a “retirement career” and Kathleen’s stories from golfing with her 80+ crew—proof that staying engaged keeps us alive.

Highlights & Key Moments

How Kathleen and Todd first connected: Todd’s input on a missing Maui hiker case (and later an elderly neighbor search) showcased the kind of precise, location-based detail Todd is known for.
Todd’s origin story: A skeptical carpenter/farmer/artist who began unintentionally delivering accurate insights—then couldn’t ignore the pattern.
September 11th premonition: A striking moment Todd describes as an early confirmation that something beyond “coincidence” was happening.
What a “psychic detective” actually does: Todd compares it to detective work—except the evidence is received internally as clear vision rather than gathered physically.
Logic vs intuition (especially in military/law enforcement): Both agree those environments often rely on intuition, even when people won’t name it that way.
Why you can’t read yourself well: Emotional bias and fear can block self-perception—one reason even intuitives seek other intuitives.
The “cost” of the work: Todd shares the heavy side--gruesome information, difficult energy, and why he’s become more selective with exposure.
Discernment and safety: Todd notes that knowing what others want hidden can create real-world risk, even if people don’t openly believe in psychic perception.
Weather, solar activity, and sensitivity: A practical conversation about energetic “off days,” electronics acting up, and extreme temperature patterns.
Big-picture perspective: Todd frames life as a small slice of a much larger reality--suggesting humanity is reawakening, and younger generations may access different capacities.
