Now let's dive into today's episode. I'd like to welcome to the show Jody Reed. How you doing, Jody?
Jody Reed
I'm great, Alex. Thank you for having me.
Alex Ferrari
Thank you so much for coming on the show. So I. So you're a evidential psychic medium, correct?
Jody Reed
That's right, Alex, yes.
Alex Ferrari
So what is an evidential psychic medium as opposed to just a good old fashioned psychic medium?
Jody Reed
I believe evidential psychic medium means I'm bringing you forward evidence from your loved ones so you understand it's them. When we connect, I ask spirit to bring through something so you understand it's really them, whether it's their personality, maybe something you're holding on to of theirs, maybe how they passed. So they bring forward evidence so you feel the connection. So it's not just general.
Alex Ferrari
What was your life like before this, this world that you're in right now? Becoming a psychic medium, what did you. Were you always. Did you always have this ability since a child did it turn on later? How did you deal with it?
Jody Reed
Great question. I've had moments since childhood, for sure, and I think some people can relate to where I woke up with these really vivid dreams. And I would be sitting on the side of my bed and my eyes would be open, but I could still see the image or person in front of me. And this was about 6 years old, my earliest memory. And I remember like feeling afraid, though, at the moment. So it felt like a nightmare to me. Right. I couldn't understand. I wasn't in harm or anything like that, but I didn't know this person. So I would constantly sleep with the covers over my head and until I got to understand that they weren't there to hurt, you know. And I think it just kind of subsided as I got older. But there were definite moments into my teen years. I was really drawn to anything metaphysical, anything paranormal. Right. It was really fascinating to me. And my late father brought me my first crystal when I was 9 or 10. And. Yeah. And that just kind of sparked it in me. And I think we do have moments like that to kind of open up or push us to the avenue in which we should walk.
Alex Ferrari
So at what point did you decide to say, hey, I'm gonna wave my freak flag as wide as possible and let everybody know what I'M gonna do professionally now. And I say freak flag with most love.
Jody Reed
Oh. Oh, I get it. I get it. Trust me. And when I actually ended up having my son at 20 years old, and I was always drawn to alternative healing, and I knew I wanted to help people, so I went into the medical field. That's what you do in society, right? So I spent almost 30 years in the medical field, but I always felt this, like, calling, like, this is not satisfactory to me. There's more. And I wanted to do alternative healing. Like, so energy healing. People call it Reiki, quantum healing, however you want to look at it. But I was drawn to that, and I would let it go, and it would come back. And I think we do. We all get these messages of, you know, your calling, so to speak. I don't believe it's just a thought in our head. I believe it's a blueprint, because we can do this. We have the ability to do this when it continues to come back as messages or thoughts in our head. I spent almost 30 years in the medical field, and I started working at an alternative wellness center, inserting IVs for intravenous laser therapy. And it brought it all back. I'm like, okay, I gotta do something. And I had a vision when I was 16 that I wanted to open this metaphysical store, have healing. And I even envisioned the shelving. Like, there'd be trees, and they'd be really earthy. And anyway, long story short, I ended up leaving the medical field, sold my house all into this business. Didn't know where I was gonna start. Alex. So I started with energy healing, Selling crystals, that sort of thing. My vision came true about the tree. The tree shelving. When I went and lugged the logs out myself, that was interesting. But heart and soul, for sure.
Alex Ferrari
So then when you were actually in the medical field, did your abilities kind of sneak in? Like, did you actually feel people or understand people or even see loved ones in the hospital with these people? Did you. Did you kind of have those experiences during those years?
Jody Reed
Definite moments of. And I think a lot of times it comes through this feeling of anxiety. And a lot of people think I'm just having an anxious feeling, and I deal with anxiety. But a lot of sensitive people have anxiety because they're picking up energy around spirit, around people themselves. Right? We're. We're sensitive to that. So empaths. And I'm sure you too, Alex, you've walked into a room and you felt the energy, right?
Alex Ferrari
Yeah.
Jody Reed
Right. We're empath. So it was a Lot of that. I did apparently have moments where I went on to. I actually did some channeling, and some nurses reminded me of what I said, because a lot of times we. We don't hold on to the information when we channel. So they actually reminded me of what I said in moments coming out of patient rooms. And I'm like, I don't even remember that. They're like, oh, my God, yes, you did. So I definitely had moments throughout my career where an annoyingness and even around patients. I was in clinic and I had this gentleman, and I felt him very upset. And this is long before I was actually professionally reading, and I just felt this overwhelming emotion around him. And I said, sir, do you mind if I just share something, Something with you spiritually? And he was quite open. And I said, I just feel like your wife is on the other side. And I said, she tells me you have her perfume and cosmetics. Like, I laid across either a dresser or something. He broke down, and sure enough, he did. And I don't even know where that came from. Alex. This is not something I was doing at the time, but it was what he needed to hear.
Alex Ferrari
Is that an example of the channeling you were talking about? Like, you're just hearing things coming through. Through. It's not like an entity per se, but you were actually doing mediumship. But, I mean, mediumship is a form of channeling, in a sense.
Jody Reed
100%. 100%. So channeling, I believe, Alex, is the way in which the information comes through. So it's almost like the verb, right? It's coming through the channel, and we are the channels, almost like radio frequencies or waves coming to you as channel. So we have to tune into that frequency. And you're right. It would come through like an inner hearing almost, but visions as well. So I had seen the cosmetics on the desk.
Alex Ferrari
I wanted to kind of dive in a little bit to the process of what you are doing when you are. When you are receiving messages from the other side. Because this is a kind of. It's a gray area for people to understand what actually is happening. A lot of people think as a medium, you're just having a conversation with the other side, and you're like, oh, Uncle Bob is here, and Uncle Bob is telling you everything in your ear. And there is forms of. Of clear audience. It's clear audience, right? Is right.
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
So if it's clear audience. But from my understanding, many psychic mediums, they're trying to interpret images that come in or even sounds that come in, and it's just their interpretation. So it's not a 100% all the time. The batting average is not a thousand. You're not always going to hit it right because it has to go through your filtering and you're just trying to understand the images that are coming in. So if someone says a rose, you see an image of a rose, you're like, I don't know, is there a rose mean anything to you? And they're like, oh my God, we had a rose company. Like that kind of thing. Is that what's going on in your mind or so there's so many different ways this happens. So I see a dead person in the room. So there's that. There's that version of it. Like I see that. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Podcast Host (Health Discovered)
Non small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything, and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology and misses what patients are actually living through every single day.
Janet Freeman Daly
There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses. So mental health plays a really big role.

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show. Then that, that people could talk to you in one way. Shit. So that's another version. Then there's auditory, that you're just hearing a voice. And then there's the, I always call it the Whoopi Goldberg effect from Ghost, when an entity comes in and speaks through you. So there's multiple ways that this happens. So for you specifically, what is happening and can you explain to people that interpretation of it?
Jody Reed
Yes, absolutely. So definitely clairaudience. So I have moments of that. I actually use four different clairs. And it's clair cognizance, which is clear knowing, Clair clairaudience, Clair hearing, clairvoyance, clear seeing and then clairsentience, clear feeling. So it will come in almost like a package. So I could see a vision, but I could feel what that vision means. So if I had seen, for instance, that particular case, the, the perfume sitting on there, so I'd seen it. I can feel the importance to her that she kept herself, you know, immaculate. She was this beautiful woman. And what it meant to him to hold on to it, like the emotion around it that it made him feel like he was still connected. And then just like this strong gut knowing that that was it, like, you know, that was the message. It was important to him to hold these fragrances of hers.
Alex Ferrari
There's a phenomenon that I've again, because of the work I do and the research that I've been doing on this show for so many years now, I've spoken to a lot of near death experiencers. And on the other side, when they're there, they speak of this knowing that you're talking about a little bit. But it's instant understanding, instant knowing just from either seeing something or being somewhere. You just go, oh, that's, that's that. Or that's Uncle Bob, even though it doesn't look like Uncle Bob. Or there's just this instant knowing and it's a obscene amount of information that gets downloaded instantly. And you just understand everything that's happening in the room. There's no explanation. There's no, you know, talking about it. It's not clunky, it's just instant. And they, and they spoken about like, oh, I asked the question, what's quantum physics? And then all Of a sudden, oh, I get it now. That's what the universe is made out of. But on the other side, they can't bring that knowing back because we can't kind of process it in our rudimentary computer over there. We're kind of plugged into the cloud, the spiritual cloud, if you will. Does that all make sense?
Jody Reed
Yes. And the other piece to that, too, Alex, is I think they have to use our life experiences, so they draw from our experiences. Maybe they'll show me something that's relatable to the situation that I had gone through or that I can relate to, and then I have to relay it in that sense. And it can come in almost like a memory that's not yours. When you talk about knowing, it's like if you recall a situation, a moment with your dog. Okay, so you're. You're recalling a situation with your dog, you know, that that occurred, and there's nothing that could change your mind. Like, I had this moment with my dog, and. And then you. You reflect back on that. You don't doubt that. So it's kind of like holding a memory that's not yours, but having this absolute feeling of it. It took place.
Alex Ferrari
God. Exactly. So, all right, so I wanted to kind of go into a little. We've been talking a little bit about the macro. Let's go a little bit to the micro. Let's go into the macro. A little bit about human consciousness. I know your. Your work. Your work really focuses on raising consciousness of humanity and empowering people to become their own spirit guides or connecting to their own power internally, whether that be spirit guides that are guiding them, whether it be the internal knowing where it be higher selves, all that kind of. Or ascended masters or whatever, but doing it for themselves. Is that correct?
Jody Reed
Yes, definitely. Definitely. And I. I love platform mediumship, which is like open group where we sit with a bunch of people, and I kind of channel messages all over the audience. And part of that, I love to remind them. And I say remind you because it. I do believe it's something we are born with. I believe, you know, through our. Through maybe government, through our, you know, religion, just our beliefs, I believe those abilities are suppressed, but I don't believe they ever truly go away. So it's reminding people that you have this connection too, you know, and everybody receives it different. Alex, you know, for impressions, for me, say, my vision for birthday is a bouquet of balloons. Yours might be a birthday cake. So they draw from or whatever's relatable for you. And I Like to remind them during the show that you have this ability. So I want you to leave here knowing that you can speak to your loved ones just as I can and bring through the validations or memories.
Alex Ferrari
And for people listening who are thinking, if they're watching this, they're kind of curious, obviously, but a lot of them will say, well, this is all bs. Well, if it is, I think everybody at one point or another, I can't say. But I say most humanity has a moment of gut instinct. Oh yeah, there's a moment that you just knew, you just understood. And they call it gut instinct, for lack of a better word, or into. Or intuition, if you want to start getting a little closer to the metaphysical. But gut instinct is something that everybody really can kind of get behind, regardless of religious background or programming or anything like that. People are like, oh, I had a gut instinct that that wasn't going to go good or I shouldn't get on that plane or well, I shouldn't date that girl. That is an ex. That's an example, a very low hanging fruit example of what we're capable of. And then someone like yourself has opened themselves up to be able to do what you're doing right now. And we all have that capability in one way, shape or form, right?
Jody Reed
We do. And going from that gut instinct or intuition, I believe it's like a muscle and acknowledging it. Right. And I'm sure like you said, everybody's had that moment of gut feeling or it's like, I don't think I should go that way, you know, I want to take the other way around and I'll drive this way instead. And you find out later that there was a traffic jam or you, you have a, you know, a thought pop in of an old friend and it's like out of nowhere you haven't talked to them and all of a sudden through either calling or messaging. Right?
Alex Ferrari
Yes, we've all gone through that.
Jody Reed
Right, Right. And it's just insight. And if we can start to pay attention to those moments. And I always feel like spirit is giving that to you. I always feel like we're always connected, whether it's our loved ones, spirit guides, source, God, whatever you believe in. I always feel we have that connection and we can actually communicate and we can receive the feedback back. We just have to push ego aside a little bit. And I say in the sense of. Because ego can tell you that, oh, you're making it up. Right. Ego keeps us safe. But when we're channeling or receiving messages, sometimes our egoic mind tells us that we're making it up and we're missing those moments.
Alex Ferrari
Yeah. And ego does. That's, I think, the biggest obstacle with, with people, regards to psychic abilities, mediumship, even channeling, is that our brain, our logical brain, is saying, you're making this up. But then as you start going deeper down this road, you start to realize, I, I, how could I? I would have never thought of that. I would have never thought of that. What just came out of my voice or my mouth, let's say if I'm a channel, I would never speak that way. Like, it's, it's a completely different conversation than I tone and just. I wouldn't articulate those ideas in the same way. And a lot of times when, like when you're meditating, you know, I found it when I meditate, things will pop into my head. And then I used to go, oh, I must have made that up. I'm like, I wasn't even thinking about that. Where did that just show up? Out of nowhere, Right. You know, kind of thing. And you're like, oh, so someone's trying to tell me so. Because I feel that when you're meditating, you're starting to raise the vibration or the frequency in your, in yourself, the antenna, if you will, to start to tune into certain things. And that's where meditation really starts to come in. The more you meditate, the more you're able to start receiving these, these things over the years that you meditate. Is that correct, in your experience?
Jody Reed
Yes, a hundred percent. And I think we shift from coincidence to meaningful synchronicities, Alex. You know, we start to open up, and all of a sudden we have this greater connection and we start to pick up things that we didn't before.
Alex Ferrari
So going to the macro of human consciousness right now, what energetic shifts do you feel are happening on the planet right now? Because it seems like there's some stuff happening.
Jody Reed
Yes, yes. And I know there's a lot of heavy things happening in the world right now. And for our human self to view them, we view it very negative. And you're right, it is as a human experience. But if we look at a soul level, it is shifting us. So a lot of people who, who weren't open to this, Alex, are starting to connect to their higher self because they want to feel that almost safety, protection, you know, and then they start to connect to source, the higher self, our guides, our loved ones.
Alex Ferrari

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show.
Jody Reed
And I feel like the heaviness in the world is pushing us back to that, pushing us back to that, pushing us back to connecting with nature. Right? We get so wrapped up in everything that's going on in the world and it. You're forced to step out of that and calm, calm the nervous system, right? So I feel like connecting to nature, connecting to source, connecting. Everybody's being pushed back to their natural abilities, their. Their desire to connect to that natural state.
Alex Ferrari
Is that why everything seems so chaotic?
Jody Reed
That's what I believe. I do believe that. I believe that it's Working in our favor, even though it doesn't feel like it. And that's a. That's hard to swallow sometimes as a human. Right. Because we are. We're living this human experience. And. But I do believe it's. It's using the use of that information or that feeling, because what is more powerful than feeling something to make a change, right? So you're looking for the balance. It's like this feels heavy. I want to feel enlightened. So I think we're drawn. Drawn to more spirituality, if you will.
Alex Ferrari
And if we look back in human history, though, some of the darkest times afterwards lead us to some of the most light times and prosperity. So after World War II, there was a massive prosperity, obviously in the United States, but in many other parts of the world there was a rebuilding, things like that. You look at all these wars that happened over the years, even the Dark Ages, you know, after the Dark Ages, we had the Renaissance. The Renaissance brought us out of the Dark Age, but we couldn't get to the Renaissance without the Dark Ages. Does that make sense?
Jody Reed
A hundred percent. It's balance, right? We have to go through it, to grow through it. And I really think that, like I said, even though it feels. And I'm not even just talking about world events, I'm talking about our life situations too. That, that relationship that you had, that what felt very toxic, but you grew from it. You knew what you didn't want. You. You found out more about yourself, you know what I mean? And I think feel like everything is instrumental, even like the great grander things in the world, but also in our personal lives, I believe everything on purpose.
Alex Ferrari
A lot of the systems around the world seem to be cracking and failing and falling apart, meaning the economic systems, the medical field, the food industry, the media industry, religious institutions, political institutions, and governments around the world. There's cracks showing everywhere. And a lot of stuff is starting to bubble up, up. A lot of things that were considered conspiracy before are now being proven to be right. Like, I mean, if you. I mean, the whole thing with the files, if you look at it, you. You'd be like, if that was on Family Guy, let's just say that. That there's like there. If that was on Family Guy or. And then just like, oh, yeah, there's this island where there's all these things happening. And you're like, that sounds. It sounds like a James Bond movie. Right?
Jody Reed
Right.
Alex Ferrari
It doesn't seem real. But all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait a minute, this was real. All these Powerful men were doing this kind of stuff. And it didn't happen for a minute or two. It happened for years. Right. Hollywood with the whole. To movement and what was going on behind the scenes there, that all started to bubble up. So it seems like you have to kind of go through all of that. So you kind of see that I don't want that we need to change. So you need that. That catalyst almost. It's painful as it is, and that in our personal lives as well as on a macro and micro level. Right?
Jody Reed
Definitely. And I think when we talked about the food sources too, and we're starting to learn, like, it's not the natural food source that our great grandparents had. And, you know, there's additives to keep the shelf life longer and people are getting sick and it's like, ok, I. A lot of people are shifting to. I want to grow my own stuff again. You know, I want to grow my food source. I want to know that, you know, it's coming from the earth and I'm not spraying it with chemicals and whatnot. So I think we're all kind of shifting together. And I think it's like we're wanting to that source again. We're wanting to feel that again. The healthy intake of food and even connection to people. Right. We rush everything. And I mean, even when we were younger, we went out, we weren't on the phones, we talk to our friends in person. Right. I mean, this is convenient. And I see, you know, we're grateful for it, especially when we have family and loved ones across the world and oh, my God, it's amazing to be able to do this. But don't forget that we, we are. We are having this human experience and we need that connection too. So I think it's kind of pushing us back to that, back to those roots.
Alex Ferrari
You mean to tell me that Red 40 is not natural? We don't. It's not a natural thing to have.
Jody Reed
Yeah, probably not.
Alex Ferrari
And blue. Blue 25, like, that's not.
Jody Reed
I don't think it's grown. No. Or not in the. The natural sense or the organic sense. Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
I mean, you look at, you know, and I don't want to go off on a tangent because it's one of my pet peeves is the food industry. And what I feel it's criminal what they're doing. And I know Canada is a. A slight bit better, but not too far off from the US as far as allowing certain things to be done. But, you know, you look at a chicken sandwich, I'm like, why is there 60 ingredients? Like, that doesn't make any sense.
Jody Reed
Right.
Alex Ferrari
I can't, I can't find a tortilla that's clean. No tortilla. Tortillas. Three or four ingredients. That's.
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
What a tortilla is. It's very. And, and you look at you like, why is there 75? I can't, I know I can't find a clean tortilla. Like, it doesn't, you know, I have to go to the farmer's market to find some guy who's actually doing it.
Jody Reed
The way the flour has melt that, you know.
Alex Ferrari
Yeah. And it's their salt flour. You know what? I don't know. What else is there?
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
Like it's making soda and that's it, we're done. You know, it's. It's fascinating, but I think people are starting to wake up to that more and more. And I find it, I find it really fun that people will go, I just saw a video the other day is like, so, you know, if you buy this here, I'll use Nutella for a perfect example. Because when I, when you look at Nutella here in the states, it has 400,000 ingredients, whatever it is.
Jody Reed
Right.
Alex Ferrari
The same Nutella in Italy, same company, same brand, has like six. It's the same thing. So if they're why we eating that crap? And they're not. Because they don't allow it in Europe. Not that Europe's perfect, but you know what I mean? So those are the. And that's an example of all of that that's starting to bubble up now. People are just like, no. And same thing with medicine, things in religious institutions, for God's sakes, no pun intended. All that stuff. It's, you know, government and the economy, money, all of it, it's all starting to crack and fun. So do you, do you believe that humanity is approaching a real turning point? Because it seems like we're being revved up. We're still not there yet. We have a bit to go. But there's going to be a breaking point where, in which that breaking point turns into a turning point where humanity just says, that's it. And on a collective standpoint where, like, we're not going to. We're not going to vote for these people anymore. We're going to vote other people into, into power and into, into. Into politics. And we're not going to run. We're not going to follow those institutions anymore. Religious institutions, because they are not. It's not about us. It's not about our spirituality. It's about their power and their control. Do you think that's happening and if you could tell us when that'll happen, that'd be great?
Jody Reed
Yeah. When? Yeah, that would be a day, a date.
Alex Ferrari
A date and time would be fantastic if you.
Jody Reed
That would be great. And I wish I could provide that information. Sometimes we' not giving complete information around that because I think we have to have faith, too. We have to know that that is the case. Do I strongly feel that this is working in our favor? A hundred percent? I do. It might not be comfortable as we do this climb, but like you said, once we get over that, I do feel like it's different. It's peaceful, it's abundant. And there's enough food. There is enough of everything for all of us. Right. And I do feel like we're shifting to that and this looks like chaos right now, but it's the chaos that is going to push us into that. Like you said, there are moments in history that, you know, you go through the darkness, but then there's the light. And I do feel like we're on the brink of that, too. Like we're leading up to that. We're coming to that. And right now it's really strong. So usually when that happens and even. And I'm going to, you know, revert it back to our personal lives, when you go through something and it feels like everything is falling apart, like you don't have control, it's really when it's falling into place and we don't see it. But this is where we have to have faith. We have to surrender and say, yes, what I'm feeling is the case. Our intuition, it brings us back to our guides and our intuition. Right. And we do. And I know in some readings and I know you talked about time in a lot of my readings, they will show me certain things to certain people.

And now back to the show.
Jody Reed
Like for instance, some people will come with a keyword. Alex. Okay, you know, if it's you mom, say purple butterfly. And some cases it does happen. But I do feel through the thousands of readings I've done now that that person doesn't need the spiritual growth like they believe regardless. So that comes through. And then I'll have people come through same sort of situation. Tons of validations. It's like, oh my God. Yes, it's a very emotional reading. It's very heartfelt and touching. Yes. I know that that's my, my parent or brother or whomever. Yet the keyword didn't come through. And I do feel in those moments they need spiritual growth. Right? We can't, we can only be given what's not going to take away from our growth. I believe we come here to grow. What is the purpose otherwise? Right. To expand. So it's interesting. About time.
Alex Ferrari
Let me ask you, because there's so many times in our lives where we're pushed to the brink. You know, I don't, I don't believe, I hope, I try to Believe that we're never pushed too far, meaning that we're not pushed beyond what we can take as the old, you know, God never gives you more than you can handle kind of idea. But there are moments that in life that we're where there's either so much pain, physical, mental, spiritual trauma, whatever it is, that you can't see outside of it. I think we all get. I mean, I don't think we all get through that because every life is different, every soul's journey is different. But there are moments in many people's lives where you're so. You feel so underwater that you can't see any light. And that's the. That's dangerous. That's a dangerous place to be. Because if you're pushed to that level, where do I go? I see no hope. I see no thing. So on a micro level, I see that, you know, I've experienced that. I think you probably have experienced that at one point or another. Most people have gotten to a really dark place and they can't see light. And I think that on a macro level as well, we're not there yet, but, boy, we're getting close, you know, with the Iran war. Now that's just started up because why not, right? And then, and then now China's starting to talk a little bit, little saber rattling and Russia's staying quiet. They got their own things going on with, with the Ukraine and, and let's not forget about Gaza and Israel. So there's a lot of these different elements, you know, and let's not even get started with North Korea, that they're starting to talk again as well. So every. So every. I don't believe that we've gotten to the brink yet. That's so dark. But it seems like we're ramping up there. So what do you tell people on two levels, on a personal level, when you get to that place? What advice do you have for them to help get them out of it? And then on a macro level, when everything seems to be falling apart around the world and you're absorbing that energy, you could still feel like the world is coming to an end. But what I always find fascinating is when you watch the news and you feel like the world's coming to the end, just look around your house. Is a bomb literally going off somewhere? No, you're safe. It's all right. Yeah, it's all here. So. So what do you think?
Jody Reed
So I would. Specifically, on an individual level, it depends on what that person's going through. Right? There's different experiences. I mean, we're human. There's only so many experiences. But I would tailor it to them first of all. But if I was to do a general information. Remember who your soul self is. Try to look at the situation from your soul's eyes or your heart's heart vision. Right? Not to look at it from a human experience, because those are the moments that we feel crushed or defeated. But if you look at it like you're. You're connected regardless, we have a connection to the other side. I feel like, you know, they walk with us. You're never alone, even in the darkest moments. And I feel like God's source, whatever you believe in uses those moments right now. You know, you're not exactly where you want to be in your career, but. And you're feeling really heavy. And we have to use our emotions as our directors. Right. And I really do feel like they are. So look at what you're feeling. Say if you're in a career that you're like, I'm getting irritable. I'm getting like. To the. You know what I mean? I'm getting where I need change. So. So we start to look at. And we gotta look inside ourselves and say, okay, I'm feeling this emotion because it is my director. It's guiding me to somewhere else. And you'll know, even though you feel like you're not prepared or ready for that, sometimes it's just taking that next step or even actualizing that this is happening. For me, I needed to feel this in order to get to this. It's like if we could show you a glimpse into the future. And this is what I mean about psychic readings too, Alex. I feel like we're given opportunities. So if I was to say, hey, Alex, oh, my God, you know, you have this incredible opportunity coming up, and it's going to involve a couple of other very influential people, and it's going to just explode. That is going to present itself. Like that moment will present itself. Will Alex, take it? We have free will, right?
Alex Ferrari
It's up to you. Yeah.
Jody Reed
So it's trusting the process even in the darkest times. And I think it's the same as the macro as you speak of the greater consciousness. And we start to find other people like us to support us so we know we're not alone. Fear is one of the strongest motivators too. Right? It's like, I gotta move.
Alex Ferrari
I gotta.
Jody Reed
Whatever. And. But so is love. Love is incredibly powerful. And when we know we're supported and loved by others and everybody has the same vision that we're going to make it through together. And that is, this is working in our favor, even though it doesn't feel like it in the moment, we have to trust. And this is where surrender, the piece of surrender comes in. And I think when you surrender, that's when you see things fall into place, when you stop resisting the flow, you know, and it does fall into place.
Alex Ferrari
You know what's funny? We've all heard that. I think that old joke that there's a guy at the top of a roof somewhere and the flood waters are coming up and. Yeah, and. And then, and then like a, A boat, A boat comes to try to protect them. Like, no, no, no, no, God will save me. And then the helicopter. So, like, no, no, God will save me. And then he dies and he gets it to him. Like, God, why don't you say, like, dude, I sent you a helicopter, a boat, this or that. You got to take advantage of when I send you things. I think that for me, one of the great regrets of. And this was, this is a really. Looking back on it, this is a really great example. I had a friend of mine who was a very big. He was working on the Star wars movie as a visual effects artist. And he was working. And he was working in San Francisco at Industrial Light and Magic, which is George Lucas's visual effects company. And he's like, alex, do you want to come up and I'll give you a tour? It's been a dream of mine throughout my life to go and visit Industrial Light and Magic. And for whatever reason, I decided not to go and I was in Los Angeles. It would have just been like a 45 minute flight. I would have done it. It would have been a day and had a good time visit with a friend. But whatever reason, I didn't go. And I got in my head about it, like, oh, that's ridiculous. You're too old for this. Like, you know why? It just got in my head. And I still talk to my buddy about it today. I'm like, dude, if you ever get back there, he's like, I'll probably never do. I'm like, if you ever do, I don't care where I am in the world, I'm gonna fly out to see you and I'm gonna take that. That tour. It was just. But it was just a thing. That's like, I always look back at them like, well, God gave me that opportunity and I took advantage. I didn't take advantage of it. Just like he gave me the opportunity to have George Lucas himself eat lunch next to my office. And I got my lunchbox autographed by George Lucas.
SpinQuest Promoter
I love it.
Alex Ferrari
But. But it was like, what are the chances of that happening? But I was. It was there. It was given to me, and I. And. But I took advantage of it. I executed on the opportunity where so many of us are either scared, get in our own head, our ego gets involved, to say, no, no, no, that's not right. Or that don't know, don't. And that happens in relationships all the time with opportunities. So I'm just using those as examples to kind of illustrate what we're talking about here.
Jody Reed
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And we can. You're right. We can get in our own way. But the great thing is that wasn't a lost moment either, Alex. It was like you recognized it. It's like, what? What I got in my way there. So moving forward, it's like, okay, God's going to bring me more opportunities. I'm going to seize those. You know, I'm going to take those moments so there's nothing wasted. Like, I really feel like, oh, we feel like we have regret over something. But the truth is we needed that moment. We needed it for our growth. So there shouldn't be regret. There shouldn't be. We should understand that we're evolving through the experience.

And now back to the show. Yeah, I know, but I still wanted to go.
Jody Reed
I know. And that might come up again. That might come up again. So I feel like when it's strong in our heart, there's, there's, there's the desires there which can make that reality occur again. It might not be that's the way you thought it was going to happen, but it can come again. Like when it's that strong within us, I believe opportunities will present themselves.
Alex Ferrari
And would you agree? And I love that you said it's not how we expected it. I. In my, my tenure here on the planet, I've realized that it's never how I expected. Just whatever we try to envision, it does sometimes come close. Like your shop, for example, like with the vision of the, of the tree shelves and that kind of stuff. That's a smaller version of that. But how that whole shop came to be probably wasn't expect the way you expected it to. There was probably a whole bunch of other things that happened. Right?
Jody Reed
Definitely. And I can share a little. Not about that. This is an even greater story. But there's a friend of mine who wanted to open a wellness center and she couldn't get the mortgage herself and she's a reflexologist and she was looking for space and just it wasn't coming up. But she kept thinking about what she wanted. She wanted to be able to live in the space, but she wanted to be able to operate out of the space but have ownership as well. She knew she wasn't in the position, but she didn't let go of the thought of having it. She's very patient person like myself. So anyway, she kept Visualizing this. And this space came up in her area where it had living space and it had rentable space for her business in the bottom. And she's like, there's no way I'm going to get a mortgage on this. And she's right. She didn't. But this is crazy. So she has this vision. It lines up. It's the perfect space, and the owner just wants to retire. My friend is a reflexologist. She's just starting out. She's building her business, and this lady's a reflexologist. Now she needs somewhere for her clients to go.
Alex Ferrari
Wow.
Jody Reed
So the lady's like, you know, I don't really need the money right away, so if you want, I can hold the mortgage for you. Not in any way did she, like, think that this was going to go in that avenue. But now she has her space. She has more clients than she can handle. You know what I mean? And she was worried. She. She had this fear about not having enough clients to sustain. But she also has some established businesses within the facility that are remaining and paying some of that mortgage, too.
Alex Ferrari
That's insane.
Jody Reed
It's beyond what we expect. Sometimes I feel like, source. I'm going to say source. Just insert it. So anybody can replace whatever they need to replace it as has a bigger picture for us. So we might have this, like, tiny little vision, but source has this grand vision for us, and sometimes we just have to let it go. And trust and surrender is my big word. And in fact, Alex, my business was called Calm Surrender to start, and it was a. It was a download I had received, and I even got it tattooed on me. Surrender. To remind myself, like, stop taking control.
Alex Ferrari
And that's the thing. Isn't that difficult. So difficult to do, to surrender? You know, a lot of times. A lot of times you're forced to surrender. You're. You're brought down to your knees to a place in your life that you have no other choice but to surrender.
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
Because you. You're so stubborn that you're like, no, no, I want to control. I want to control. I want to control. And then life starts to go, okay, let's just keep. We don't want to do this to you. But you're not listening. And they start pushing you and pushing you to a place where you get to a place you're just like, I give up. I will do whatever. Like, you just. You're broke.
SpinQuest Promoter
They bake.
Alex Ferrari
They break you.
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
Life breaks you. And we've all had that at one point or another, I think.
Jody Reed
And yes. And I agree. And we can reflect back to the world too. We're in that state of what can I do now? And almost if we can take surrender in, not like giving up, but surrender Alex. And relay relabeling it as trusting the process. So I surrender that this is going to happen for me. So surrendering in that sense, like not giving up, but surrendering to the outcome that it's going to work out for you, maybe not exactly as you see, but in a way that is going to be very beneficial for you.
Alex Ferrari
Right. I, I, I never ever envisioned this for me.
Jody Reed
Right.
Alex Ferrari
Never in a thousand years that I think this was ever going to happen in, in this world. So it's a great learning lesson of like, oh, and it still surprises me on a daily basis. I'm like, I'm doing what now? Okay, And I'll just go do that. I'm like, oh, I'm supposed to do this now. Okay, great. And how only after you get back and you kind of look at it from a bird's eye view, just go, oh, so that's why this has happened. That's why that happened. That's why that happened. And you start to piece them together. If you're lucky enough to kind of have that awareness, you can start piecing certain items of the puzzle together of why certain things happen to you. And one thing led to another thing who led to another thing and that, you know, I met this one person 10 years ago and then I didn't talk to them for 10 years and then they show, they come back around and then that's the person that is the catalyst to help you on your career or in your love life. They introduce you to your soul mate or whatever. It's fascinating.
Jody Reed
Yes, it is. These meaningful synchronicities, right. As opposed to coincidences. When we shift from that mindset, basically everything becomes the miraculous. You know, it all, it all seems to work out for us.
Alex Ferrari
So one thing I wanted to ask you and, and I'm asking a lot of spiritual, I wouldn't call you not spiritual leaders, but people in the spiritual space about this, because this is something that's, that is starting to come up now. Those theme files did open up a lot of stuff, and it's still opening up a lot of stuff. But one thing that it did do is shined a light on multiple spiritual leaders who were in this, in the files and the fall of those spiritual leaders and some of those leaders. And I'll, I'll call out the one I'm thinking of. Right now, because it's everywhere is. Who is one of these. Look at your face. You were, like, so sad about that. Because he meant so much for the last 40 years. He's 40, 45 years. He's been one of those cat. One of those kind of like Mount Rushmore people who brought spirituality to the. To the West.
Jody Reed
Yeah.
Alex Ferrari
In a big, big way. You know, it was him and Wayne Dyer and. And many of those that generations, you know, spiritual people, and it's. It's. It's just really gutted our community as a spirit, as a spiritual community. It's just gutted people in general because of what he meant to us. Why do you believe and what does spirit tell you? That. That these spiritual leaders are starting to fall. That there's cracks even in that. What is it trying to tell us about us? Because I. And I think you agree with me. I've always been about finding the power within yourself. Never put anyone on a pedestal, ever.
Jody Reed
You're taking the words out of my mouth. Yeah, yeah.
Alex Ferrari
Never put them on a pedestal. You can. You could. You could admire, you could be grateful. They could be a little bit farther down the road than you are. But a good guru, a good teacher, a good instructor or guide is going to guide you to find the power within yourself.
Jody Reed
Always. Always, Always. And I couldn't have said it better. And I do believe those moments, you do reflect back on yourself. And that is what Source is doing or universe is doing, is pushing that energy back to you. It's like it's within us. Right. We sometimes align ourselves with other people because we don't know who we are, and we're trying to figure that out. So we hang on to beliefs and. And whatnot. And some like. I'm not saying the information that and whoever else was involved didn't have real solid information.
Alex Ferrari
Yes.
Jody Reed
But it is bringing it back to us, reflecting inside of us, because we have it too, Alex. It's like. It's like, you know, it's awakening within us. It's like using those moments to bring it back to us so we can awaken. Because sometimes we just continue to follow. Do you know what I mean? We don't become ourselves or we don't use our own abilities. And I do, and this is huge. So it's going to impact people all around the world all at once. So what is. Source is using it as a big impact all at once.
Alex Ferrari
My question then to you is, why do these spiritual leaders, who I agree with you, are actually putting out. They're not they're not con artists. They're not throwing up bs. They're actual like really shifting humanity's consciousness, really helping the students that follow them. Many of these, they, they put out really great information and they were, they were elevated spiritually on a spiritual standpoint. They had reached a higher level of spirituality in the sense of connection to the universe and within themselves that. But yet fell. Fell for the traps of, of, of the 3D world. Why do you believe someone, why would you, why would a spirit tell you that someone who's so spiritually elevated, let's say, who has spiritual abilities yet fall for the same traps that we all do, you know, from, you know, you know, the flesh or gambling or alcohol or drugs or whatever it might be. They fall for the same things that you and I would fall for, but yet they're still spiritually elevated because they are putting out this amazing information and amazing energy into the world. So how does that, how does that balance? What's your, what does spirit tell you and what's your opinion of it? We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.

Alex Ferrari
And now back to the show.
Jody Reed
Yeah, I would say, you know, I. I do believe they're still connected in that sense, but we have to go through certain life lessons. My thought is this, Alex. We sign up for a certain amount of things here, okay? And we have to grow through the experience. Otherwise, you can tell me all you want, but unless I'm living it, feeling it, breathing it, I'm not going to learn the lesson. Right? So if source says you want courage, I'm going to place you in a place where you have to be courageous or, you know, in that sense, you want more willpower. You want more. What other word am I looking for? Well, let's just use willpower for now. I'm going to place you in a space, and if you fail that, we have to keep repeating that until you get that. And I know that's like a very light version of saying it, but I just believe we have to go through the very experience to obtain the lesson or the growth around that. And it's really dark to us here. And yes, you're right, it is. I'm not trying to put light on that situation at all, but they have to. And for somebody who's so spiritual, that is completely like the other end of the spectrum, if you ask me. But it's something, I believe that they sign up for the experience. And anybody, you and I, even, even viewing it, it helps us grow. People who are involved, people who are viewing it, people who are part of it, it's about spiritual growth. And sometimes, like I said, it's a huge, like, looking at it humanly, it's hard to swallow, but I believe at a soul level, there's purpose around that, too. There's purpose on growth. And I do believe we kind of all go back to the same place, too, from Source, regardless of our actions.
Alex Ferrari
Yeah, and, and you're right. Like, you and I are having a conversation about this publicly because of what happened, you know, like that is sparking. Conversation is sparking, you know, viewing yourself differently or into going inward to go, well, what, why. Why did that happen? And if it's shape and, you know, I, I didn't follow him, you know, religiously or anything like that, but I, but he did have an impact in my spiritual life over the years. I read his books, listened to his courses and when I was a younger man and so on. So. But for someone who was like, all in, it could, it could just rattle your entire world. Just like what happened with the Catholic Church, you know. You know that, that when the scandal started to come out of the Catholic Church, there were millions and millions, tens of millions of followers who. Their entire faith was rattled because, like,
Jody Reed
wait a minute, shakes our faith, right? I just wrote it down. I channel a little bit as we do this, but it does, Alex. It shakes our faith, but that's. We have to go through that. How strong is your faith? How strong is your faith? How strong is what you absorb? Does it resonate with you? Like, you know what I mean? You might have got it from one source, and now that source is not exactly where you want to go in life. But don't remove the message. Do you know what I mean? If it resonates with you, if it hits your heart, if it works for you, there's a reason for that. You know, we're growing from it
Alex Ferrari
with, with everything that's happening in the world right now. I feel that so many people want help, guidance in their, in their life. I think we all do. We all want Yoda, we all want our own personal Yodas, you know, to just be there and just explain things to us. And you're like, no, you're not doing this right. Who doesn't. Wouldn't want someone like that in their life. Can. Is spirit on the other side helping us through what we're going through in our, Our. Our challenges in life? Because I, I always look at it like this as a parent. You know, you look at your kids growing up and you see them about to make a mistake, and you a lot of times try to help them along the way. But, But I don't know if you have children or teenagers, but when you hit the teenagers is like, that's just the most brutal time, I think, in raising a child. Because they ignore you, because they think they know everything. They're at that stage that they think they know everything and then they, they still get hit or they still. Something happens to them that, that we try to avoid. I feel that spirit is doing that with us they're just like, oh God, look at. Oh, he's. Oh, well, he's got to go through it. Gotta learn the kind of thing is that what's going on on the other side?
Jody Reed
I believe, yes. They can't take away from our lessons, but they can walk with us through it. So I don't think we're ever alone, even though sometimes it feels like we are. We're not. We're never there. There are. Loved ones are always there. I feel like they're a part of our guides as well. And then we have, I believe we have our own personal guides, you know, to help walk us through this. But it's opening up to that and understanding that we aren't alone in those moments and that they are using these moments for our growth. So yeah, they, they will allow things to happen. They have to. Right. And, and it's like that's when we start to lose faith, right? It's like, why did you let me lose that? Or, you know, I lost my house, why did you let me do that? Like, why did you let me go through that? And then, you know, several months later from that grow something even bigger because I had something better. So that had to go away for me to replace it with something better. I don't think we ever go backwards. I really don't.
Alex Ferrari
So I think what you just said can be applied to what's happening to humanity right now. We have to get rid of the old in order to let the new rise. You can't create a new food system until the old food system dies off. Can't create a new medical field until the old medical field cracks and adjusts and change into something that will benefit us as opposed to benefiting large companies or big pharma or those kind of things. You know, my parents generation would walk into any, any doc, any, any human being that had a white coat on obviously knew much more than I did. And I have to listen to everything they say where my generation was like. And then my kids generation is a whole. They're just like, are you insane? Like they wouldn't even, they wouldn't even, they wouldn't even entertain it.
Jody Reed
No, no.
Alex Ferrari
But you need that old system to kind of come down before the new system can it's convert. Correct.
Jody Reed
It's true, it's true. It's like the Phoenix, you know, from the ashes, like it, it rises again, but better. You know, I don't think we ever go backwards.
Alex Ferrari
What, what role does free will play in all of this? Not in Only in our own lives, but in the macro, in the lives of, of the, of the planet, of humanity's consciousness. As a, as a consciousness, I feel that we all have. There's an entity called humanity's consciousness, and there is a free will of how we want to move forward. People are always afraid of, like, oh, the world's going to come to an end. I'm like, we should have destroyed ourselves years ago. There's someone watching over us. You know, there's the second the bomb was created. How are we still here? Is beyond me. Like, right, we shouldn't be. We really should be.
Jody Reed
Well, there you go. That says something, right, Alex?
Alex Ferrari
Right. So what part is free will play in all of that? In the micro and the macro.
Jody Reed
So micro and like I said, individual readings. I always feel like, exactly like the example I gave you of, you know, you have this opportunity coming in. There's these beings that are very influential, whether or not you want to take it. And you, you know the same thing with your Star wars moment, right? It's like, did I take the opportunity you could have? But then that's free will, right? Did I move forward with it? So I do believe moments will be presented. Whether or not we move forward with it is entirely up to us. Do I think that things will be repeated if we don't grow from it? Yeah, I do. And I think that can speak on a macro level, too. And I feel like we get into science all about how we're tethered, we're entwined. Well, one person thinks you can, you know, place it on another person. That person starts to feel it, that, and it goes on. So I feel like we are entwined as far as the world goes. And, you know, I think everybody, as long as the consciousness has the same kind of vision of what we want, we will move forward with it. And, you know, that, I guess, is free will in a sense. But I also feel like we're talking about destination too, and, you know, what was supposed to. To happen, the outcome. So, yes, yes, I feel like free will is definitely a big part of, you know, part of our life lessons too. It's like we have and those moments. That's what I mean. It's like this circle. It's like, oh, I didn't go to the Star Wars. Damn, you know, I wish I had it. But what did you learn from it, you know, that might save you from a huge opportunity? These people that are going to present themselves, you're taking that lesson, you know, you're going for it. This time because you learned through the other. So I don't feel like there's a waste. I just don't. But yeah.
Alex Ferrari
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.
Janet Freeman Daly
When I first heard the words you have lung cancer, I was in shock.
Podcast Host (Health Discovered)
This week on a special episode of Health Discovered, we're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of of all cases.
Janet Freeman Daly
I'm Janet Freeman Daly and I've been living with non small cell lung cancer since 2011.
Podcast Host (Health Discovered)
Non small cell lung cancer, it's a diagnosis that changes everything and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology and misses what patients are actually living through every single day.
Janet Freeman Daly
There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore, but it's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses. So mental health plays a really big role.

And now back to the show. Yeah, it was exactly that. That we could that next. Well, obviously next time I get a phone call from my friend and say, hey, I'm and I'm in here, I'm like I would go. But on a bigger standpoint when another opportunity in another in another place, that lesson I learned of not taking action, I'M like, you know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna make the effort. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go do this, I'm gonna go do that kind of thing. So, yeah, and now thinking about it, I have a bunch of offers on the table. I'm like, maybe I should do that over there.
Jody Reed
There's nothing wasted, right? So if you did and you move forward with it, you're getting something out of it, Alex. You are.
Alex Ferrari
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I want to talk to you really quickly. I wanted to ask you because this fascinates me and I'm not sure how much experience you have about this in your work, but timelines and shifting timelines in different alternative realities, which is a quantum physics idea, but it's also a very metaphysical idea, and it goes back to the Vedic texts and things like that. Do you have any experience of, of when you're speaking to spirit about other versions of us doing other things in other lives? So, like, you know, I do believe personally that we have infinite amount of versions of us in this lifetime, all happening at the same time. So there is a Jody who's interviewing me in another lifetime and you have a show and I'm. And I'm the guest and vice versa. And we're experiencing as a soul, millions of infinite amount of experiences through this character. We also have. We were also in Rome, we were also in Egypt, we were also in Atlantis and, and many other iterations of, of incarnations. But this specific incarnation between you and I right now, there are infinite versions of this beyond what we can comprehend. What experience do you have with that? Have you run into anything in your work in regards to that with, with your clients or with yourself?
Jody Reed
Yeah, I, I think on both levels, to be quite honest, depending on where the conversation would go. But for my own belief, I totally agree with you. I believe there are infinite possibilities too, of versions of ourselves. Right. I think we have to embody it. I think we have to. It's almost like choosing everything is free will, right? It's choice to step into that version of you. Because if you viewed something in a certain way, very positive, not to get into science, but your reticular activating system is going to project that into your reality. So you're going to be drawn to that. So will I experience, you know, more happiness if I chose to go in that direction and I chose to embody that, I chose to wake up happy, Am I going to experience or reflect or align with all happy experiences? Yeah, I am you know, as opposed to waking up. And like the secret says, you stub your toe, you get out of bed, and like, you know, you. You focus on that moment, and then everything else kind of falls into place with that too. So you start to experience those fumbles or. Or moments throughout your day, because that is where your focus is. So I think focus is huge when it comes to, you know, obtaining or embodying that version of us. And I do think we can make it a reality. It's our focus. We're. Our attention goes. The energy flows. Right. You've heard that, I'm sure. And it's. It's keeping or sustaining that to get that result. So. Yes, absolutely. So if you. And I also believe there's a little bit of spirituality in there too, because I believe when you have a vision for yourself, Alex, your future self, I don't think it's just a vision or a thought. I think it's a blueprint of your capability. So spirit says, I got this for you. Don't give up on it just because you can't see the entire road ahead and you don't have the whole map in which how to get there. And here comes surrender. You have to surrender and trust that we got you, you know, and don't let go of that version and keep embodying that feeling. And I do believe it will be a reality. So, yes, we can step into those versions of ourselves. Like I said, if I wake up and I follow that moment of stubbing my toe, that is going to be the version of me. I'm living it. I'm living that moment. So, yeah, if we keep growing from it.
Alex Ferrari

Episode: The Epstein Files, Iran War & Future of Humanity with Jody Reed
Date: April 4, 2026
In this thought-provoking episode, Alex Ferrari is joined by evidential psychic medium Jody Reed for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of global consciousness, spiritual growth, and the dramatic revelations shaking established systems—including spiritual leaders and global institutions. Together, they explore the intersections of personal awakening, societal upheaval, and how both the “Epstein Files” and major geopolitical events (like the new Iran war) are prompting a collective spiritual reckoning. Their discussion offers practical tools for personal transformation, examines why even advanced spiritual figures can fall from grace, and calls for a return to authentic inner guidance.
