All right everyone, welcome back to the Nikki and Bri show. And yes, as you can see, Bri is still in Italy enjoying her apparel spritz and everything Italian. Her fun Italian summer also kicking butt on Friday night Smackdown. But I'm really excited about today's guest and just really excited for this interview. Today's guest is someone who has completely changed the way not only do I think about intuition, signs and trust in myself, but a lot of other people. She's a spiritual mentor, a medium energy healer, and an intuitive tarot reader who has helped thousands of people reconnect with their inner wisdom and the guidance available to them. Through her soul team method, she teaches people how to access their intuition, communicate with their spirit guides, and move through life with more clarity and confidence. Everyone, please give a warm welcome to Neve McCarthy to the Nikki and Bree show. Hi Neve.
Neve McCarthy
Thank you.
Bri
How are you?
Neve McCarthy
I'm amazing.
Bri
Oh my gosh. So before we started this, you guys, I just did an hour reading. I felt bad because I know it was only supposed to be 30 minutes and that was just so incredible. So thank you so much for that.
Neve McCarthy
Thank you. Like, you know, it's always the longer the better. Always.
Bri
Right? I agree. And I didn't even realize it was that long. Like I thought it Was a few minutes after 9:30, and then I was like, oh, my goodness.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, when you flow like that, you. You don't feel time.
Bri
You don't. It's so crazy.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
I love it because it's not like I even looked at my phone or anything. I was just like, right in it with you. So thank you. Yeah. Very present. So I did a deep dive on you before coming on today, and I. I love everything you do, but I want to take things back a bit. So before all of this, I found this so industry interesting that you worked in the music industry.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
So what was it like during those years?
Neve McCarthy
I mean, I was in the music industry. You know, I'm Irish. I was born in Ireland, and I was in the music industry since I was like, in college. I always. My dream to be a music manager. I worked in radio and then. Which is kind of like part of the whole manifesting story. And why, like, I really know how to manifest and why, like, we put it into a step is like, I really wanted to be a music manager. And then when I was about 19, during college, I went to New York and true Irish luck and a lot of faith in destiny. I started working with Madonna when I was 20. Yeah. So I, like, left college, moved to LA and did the whole music business thing. And it was amazing. Dream job. I was 20, I was on tour. And also who I worked for, guy at the time, he had also just signed U2, who was like a big Irish rock band.
Bri
Oh, my gosh.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If, you know, you know.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
I mean, he's like, oh, you're Irish. This I. This makes sense. And so it was really all alignment and timing. And so I went on Tour with U2 that year too. And so I was jumping between tours and, you know, they're just like the greatest guys ever. Yeah. And they were doing a huge world tour and I went on tour with them. I worked with them for many years and moved to LA and, you know, was in LA since I was 20. And then kind of like through that whole experience, you know, being on a world tour, working with such amazing artists at such a level and scale every day I kind of, you know, I came. I was like 25, had been doing it for like five years, and I was feeling a little bit like, okay, because there's no one bigger and there's no one better. Where do you go from there? Right. So it kind of started this whole conversation of, like, what is my purpose? And then, you know, I've been a medium. My Whole life. And it was something I was always very afraid of. Like I was. I would shut it down because I'm like, weird. You know, I grew up very. I'm Irish, I'm Catholic, you know, it's like that weird stuff that's. We don't touch that. And so. And I was like, even like people who would have crystals on tour, I would be like a weirdo, you know, so like, it wasn't part of my DNA whatsoever. And you know, my, my grandma was like a lot of nuns in my family. And it was like, you know, L. A was just very woo woo to me. Yeah. Until like kind of one. One day I had this crazy experience. Experience. I was at a bar in, in West Hollywood and it was when we were off touring, so I was still in the music industry. And I was sitting at the bar with my friends and I just like heard this kind of voice that like felt like it was coming down and it. And I just kept hearing, go over to that girl at the other side of the bar and tell her she should leave Sweden and move to London to start her handbag company. No. Yeah. And I was, and I, so I heard it and I was like, what the fuck? Honest. I was like, I'm not going to be that person. Like. And so this was like the beginning kind of stages. And I told my friends and they were like, do not do. That is so weird. Like, do not go over there. Like. But it kept coming and I kept hearing the same message and it was coming like very, it was very calm. It was a very, like, it wasn't like this very aggressive. And so I was like, let me just, let me just go over and like see who this person. And so I went over to this woman, she was with her husband and I said to her, hi, by any chance, are you from Sweden? And she was like, yeah, why? I was like, wow, oh my God, that is crazy. And I was like, okay, well, I know this is super weird, but I feel like you should move to London. Like, do you want to start a handbag company? And she just starts crying. Oh man. She's like full heaving crying. And her husband starts hugging me and he's like thanking me. He's like, this has been her dream for the last 10 years. She wants to leave her corporate job. And so this was kind of the beginning in which I was like, okay, there's something more to this life maybe. Yeah, than just making money and flying around and not, you know, what is my purpose? Why did I come here and what was that voice. So that kind of started my journey, and then I ended up, like, flying to India and studying there and. Wow. Yeah.
Bri
And when you hear this voice, like, did it. I'm always so curious. Does it sound like a woman? A man? Familiar voice? Is it just heavenly?
Neve McCarthy
Like, that's a really, really good question.
Bri
It's.
Neve McCarthy
It's a great question. You know, so it's. It's a bit different when it's just like an intuitive hit like that. Yeah, it's just a. It's like just a voice. Some. Mostly male, I would say a male voice I hear. But when I have someone who's passed over who comes through, it's their voice. It's like, oh, wow. So, yeah, so, like, if it's a. If it's a woman, I will hear her voice, like, to. When people who have passed over. Because the mediumship stuff's a bit different. Like, I've had one with my best friend who. She's German, and her mom passed away, and her mom would come to me all the time, and she came to me very recently this year, and she was speaking in German, and I don't speak German.
Bri
When you knew what she was saying.
Neve McCarthy
No, I just have to. Yeah, because they don't. When they don't speak English here, I don't. They don't speak English. So I've had some people where I'm like, poquito. Like, what is it?
Bri
That's hilarious.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Gosh, I never thought about that.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. But her mom had given me. She was like, ich meine diner sterna or. And I was like, nadine, does this make sense to you? And my best friend told me. She was like, that's the title of the last song I played for my mom, which I would never know that. Yeah. Yeah. So they. So they. When people have passed over who have actually been here, it's usually their voice. But if it's just your spirit guide, it's like more of a. Just like. It's just like a voice and a feeling that's amazing.
Bri
Now, before that first voice came to you. Because I actually talk a lot about this on our show about, like, purpose, and I'm such a big believer in, like, when you. You go on that journey, we all are here for a reason.
Neve McCarthy
Right.
Bri
And I know I found my purpose. Like, when I got in the wrestling industry, I started to realize, like, oh, my gosh, I'm here to, like, truly empower women. And they watch what I do, and I have to help with that. And, you know, I Still have to showcase my good, my bad, my ugly, and it helps people. Before that voice came to you, were you already thinking of, okay, I need, like, what is my purpose now? Or was it. Did it hit you when that voice
Neve McCarthy
came, I was already thinking, what is my purpose? Yeah. But I did not ever think I would be spiritual. Yeah. Field. Like, it was always going to be. I was like, do I go to Gaga or, like, Beyonce? Like, who do I? You know, it was always music industry focus. It was never. I never in a million years could have dreamed what I. But then I had a vision, which was interesting. I. Yeah, I did a. Which I don't have visions. Yeah. But I had a really crazy vision. I was. Because I was at that point, you know, also getting super burned out for being on tour and just music industry can be a bit, you know, dark. And I was really feeling it physically. And so I went to this meditation in LA and I was. It was like this future self meditation, which is a great meditation, too, where you sit down and you kind of invite in your future self. And what is she wearing? How does she feel? What is she doing? And I had this vision that was super crazy of I was walking into a room and the CEO of Live Nation, Michael, who I knew was there, and we were sitting down and we were signing a piece of paper, and I walked out of the meditation and I said to my best friend, quite the weirdest vision. I had a vision about Michael, like, so forgot about it, you know? And within a month, I had signed a big investment with Live Nation to start their first ever mindfulness company.
Bri
Yeah. I was looking at that today. You're the Instagram. I love what you said with the mental awareness month with.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, Sean.
Bri
That was. Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Big Sean.
Bri
That's incredible. Wow. And that was a month later after you saw that?
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, after I had the vision. Yeah. And it was so seamless. And, like, that's kind of why I always say, if you feel like you're out of your purpose and you're looking for your purpose, it's a. You know what feels easy and to ask for signs.
Bri
Yes.
Neve McCarthy
You know, because they were all signs. Yeah.
Nikki
Okay, Nick. You know, summer's coming up, which means a lot of fun things are going on. I feel like, from our family reunion to different wine events. I mean, there's so many events, and I feel like we always want to have a new look for each one of them.
Bri
All of a sudden, summer comes and every weekend feels like it's booked.
Nikki

Bri

I mean, yeah, let's just say you want to get a little romantic boho or be like me and get some sporty jerseys or hey, we're going on a yacht. Let's look like we're part of the yacht club.

I mean, we just came off reality television and we were used to everyone seeing us live our lives, but we were like, can we really talk about living our lives? I mean, you know how it is. Starting something new isn't just hard, it can be terrifying, especially when you're starting a business.
Bri

Bri
And so you. But then you journeyed to India and you just felt like, okay, this is where I need to go to really learn about being a medium and like, opening that up.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, Well, I did. I did every training under the sun, but for India was always very special to me. Just for meditation, you know, like to really learn, because I think the premise of all of life is being able to be still and be with yourself and to know how to quiet your mind and really find your. Because your true self is within, it's not outside of you. So it could be prayer, it could be meditation. For me, it's meditation. So I went to India and that was a completely transformative, magical life experience. And it was from there where I studied yoga and meditation. And then I was like, okay, I want to bring healing to the music industry because they really need it. They really need it. Yeah. The entertainment industry really needs it.
Bri
Yes.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. And that's kind of. And then I went and I did mediumship training later in Miami and I did a bunch of stuff here in la. But the mediumship was clearly my gift because even a lot of the girls in the mediumship training did. Couldn't talk to people who had passed over. And I was sitting there and I'm like, there's a Joe here anyone knows? Everyone's like. And girl was like, oh, my dad's Joe. He just passed away. I'm like, okay, there's it. So it was. It was very evident to me, but it took me a while to kind of own it and really step into it. Yeah.
Bri
And how do you feel? Because, you know, Bri and I will at times talk about spirituality on here and I'll see sometimes the comments, like on our videos and you know, how some people feel and like, just like what you were talking about earlier when. When you used to see people with crystals and that woohoo. Stuff like, I don't know about that, but what do you say to people who, one don't believe that we can talk to the other side and also feel like this stuff is. I'm trying to think of the word, but that they feel like it's almost dark.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Like, you know what I mean? In a way. Like, especially very religious people.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. And there are some religions that like, really condone this kind of. Well, I would say there's a few things. Number one, like, don't go and see every tarot reader, you know. No. Like be very intentional with who you decide to do a reading with. For me, my work is focused on energy. You know, it's all energy. Crystals are energy, the cards are energy. We are energetic beings. We are not messing with people's faith with destiny. It's not possible to do that, you know, And I think there's just a lot of misconceptions about, oh, you're going to do a tarot reading and we're going to kind of ask about what's going to happen. But for me, it's like, I will never tell you this is going to happen to you because it's completely up to you and you have many paths available for you in this lifetime. And it's not. We're not dealing with, you know, this is not like a. A cult thing. It's really just connecting with love. Connecting with. For me, it's your spiritual team.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
So that's your soul team. So, like, I really believe that every person is born with a soul team, and they're yours and yours only. And they're a group of invisible spiritual forces. And their whole purpose is to guide you and align you in this life, to keep you on track with the life you came to live, the woman you came to be, and to maybe do the things you wanted to do at different times. And they're just completely loving. Abundant light energies.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Not nothing got to do with. With God, obviously. They're probably work for him. I don't know. But, you know, but there are people that's like my work. But there are people out there that, you know, do like I. In like, kind of Middle Eastern countries. I know, like, evil eye is a big thing and there's like black magic is a thought. I don't. That doesn't live in my world.
Bri
No.
Neve McCarthy
Because we. I just focus on love and healing and beings of light.
Bri
Yes. Which is such a great point that you bring up. My life coach has taught my sister and I this a lot because in times like now, when the world can feel so heavy and dark, she's like, no, but don't put that in your energy. You keep everything with love and light, and that's what will stay around you. You focus on your bubble. And I work on that a lot. And with my son of just white light, I work a lot with Archangel Michael, and I do a whole thing like every. I do it every night. And then when my son's with me, he does it with me. And we just got a new puppy. And so I was like, teo, let's show Remy what we do at night. So we grab the Archangel Michael statue and we kiss it and we thank him for all the protection and the light. And then we have. I have Mary Magdalene and then a Mother Mary. So we do with both of them. And then Jesus. And we have this, like, whole setup we put at the top of our stairs and we say, like, our prayers. Yeah, it's really neat. But I've realized that. That there's so much we can't control. But I know I can control my bubble and what comes in and what comes out of it and the light, 100%. So my sister and I, when we start to talk conspiracy theories, and some of them aren't conspiracy theories, but when we start to talk about things, we go, nope, nope, we're not doing this.
Neve McCarthy
We're not interested.
Bri
So we're not going to go down that rabbit hole. Let's just move on.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Let someone else deal with that. We are good here, so.
Neve McCarthy
Well, what you focus on expands.
Bri
It's so true.
Neve McCarthy
So what do you. It's like, there's this amazing metaphor and visual that I love, and it's this visual of there's two men looking out of iron bars, and they look out. They both look out, the same iron bars. One sees mud, one sees the stars.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
So what are you choosing to look at in life? Are you choosing to focus on the negative or are you choosing to focus on the light? And, you know, because you're a magnet. You're a magnet, you know, law of attraction. And so, yes, it's really. This is more the energy. It's like we're shifting mindsets, we're shifting your thoughts. And really, to be in your purpose, you know, you got to be in alignment. So you got to get your. Your thoughts in alignment, which is exactly what you're saying. Your behavior, your actions, your words, bringing them all into harmony to be in alignment with. With ultimately more love and positivity. And it's not that we're going to say no negativity. It's not, like, toxic. But it's just I'm not choosing to focus on that today.
Bri
Right.
Neve McCarthy
I'm going to choose to focus on what's possible.
Bri
Yes. Why? You know, we've always said it's so important the people you surround yourself with and the people that we choose to be in relationships with. It's crazy. And I think for some of us who are older and we've gone through it, you realize, like, whoa, they brought a lot of darkness in my life, or, wow, they brought a lot of negativity or depression or just not great things, or they make me feel great about myself. And you start to realize that as you go on. So that's why I'm like. And I feel more people feel this Way, like, oh, these people actually are onto something about energy and connection and soul connection.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
So I know, like, we all have intuitions, but for people who don't understand it or, you know, will ask the question, well, do. Does every single person have intuition? What would you say to them?
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, every person has intuition. It just. It just arrives a bit differently for everybody. For me, it's like a gut instinct. Yeah. I will make very quick decisions very fast. I call it, like, inspired action where, like, I'll get the feeling to call someone and you just do it. But everyone has intuition. It's really just like, you got to trust yourself to follow your gut instincts. And the thing with intuition is it arrives differently for everyone. It might be, I've always wanted to write a book, or I've always wanted to have a family, or I've always wanted whatever that seed that was planted there, you know, that was. That's not a random thought. That. That was planted because that's part of your. Your life and your journey. Yeah.
Bri
I agree with you. Mine is that my intuition. And when I've tried to tell people, I'm like, the thought just keeps coming and it gets stronger and stronger and it'll be in my head, but I could feel it in my gut because whatever is happening in my mind, my stomach is telling me, like, do this, don't do that. And. And I have times I've gone against it.
Neve McCarthy
I.
Bri
It's shown me how wrong it's been. And then the times that I've gone with it, I'm like, oh, wow, okay, now I'm on the next path. This is where it's led me. And even like, the littlest things, with some things where I knew I. I shouldn't have done something, and then I did it. I'm like, wow, that it was screaming at me.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
And I kept moving forward, and that's.
Neve McCarthy
And it will keep coming around. That's the thing with intuition, is, like, if you. If you don't listen the first time, it's going to keep coming. So if you've had the same idea for 10 years, it's going to be time to do that.
Bri
So true, by the way. Yeah, it is so true. I feel like I even have little diaries or envision boards, like, from 18, and I see stuff and I go, okay, I need to go do that. Because I keep writing this down. It's been like 20 years.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
What am I doing? But also, Bri and I moving to Napa Valley, we Finally, in 2020, it was like a Very long time where we just kept being so drawn here, how we kept feeling, and we both kept feeling this thing for a long time. And finally we're like, okay, we're just gonna do it. It's been the best move ever. Best decision. Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. Well, see, that's the thing you have to like where a lot of people, I think are confused is you have to move through fear. This fear is part of the journey. And even if you don't know where that intuition is going to take you, for me, it's like, I have the ultimate fate. I have a lot of faith in God. I have a lot of faith in the unseen forces. So I know if they're moving me in this direction, I am going to be. This is where I'm supposed to be. There's a surrender happening. So I think fate is an important part of the intuition journey. It's like having faith that is your intuition and it's not just your mind. Yeah. And then faith that it will all work out. Yeah.
Bri
That's so true. Faith is such a. A powerful thing. And I'm so blessed that I have that. And I. I was raised with that. Okay, Nick.
Nikki
You know, summer's coming up, which means a lot of fun things are going on. I feel like from our family reunion to different wine events. I mean, there's so many events, and I feel like we always want to have a new look for each one of them.

Neve McCarthy
Correct.
Bri
When you work with people.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, they're my medium, but sometimes I'll do a two hour reading and it's just them. Oh, wow. That's crazy. A card just fell. Oh, no way.
Bri
Do we look?
Neve McCarthy
Oh, it's so you got this one already? Oh, nice.

Bri
Okay. And I feel like you work with a lot of like successful artists, entrepreneurs and public figures.
Neve McCarthy
Correct? Yeah.
Bri
What do you feel like people seek the most when they come to you?
Neve McCarthy
I think there's a, there's, it's twofold. One is just like a sense of peace and clarity and then direction a lot. Most of it is like direction. Do I, do I do this? Do I, do I walk with this manager? Do I go with this company? Do I put out this song? You know, it's like direction.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
And that's the one thing, you know, it's not. I always say in my readings, it's not me, I'm not doing the reading. It's, you know, I'm, I'm just a medium. I'm a channel for your spirit team to talk to you and, you know, you'd be surprised by the direction they get. It's like really great.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
You know, and I can't read for myself so I'm always like, wow, I wish I could get a reading like
Bri
that, which is actually so interesting. And people, you know, from the other side, do they ever come to you or. No.
Neve McCarthy
Very rare. Okay. Yeah, I've had it. But super rare. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Bri
That's actually interesting. I never thought about that.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. I think most mediums cannot get anything for themselves.
Bri
Wow. Do you go see someone?
Neve McCarthy
I have like a few different people, but I don't have anyone who does like what I do.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
But I have people. I'm I'm looking for somebody.
Bri
Yeah. I love that.
Neve McCarthy
I love doing readings just to see, like, the different. Because everyone has a different gift, different talent. Talents. Yeah. But to. But reading the way I read. I haven't got that yet. Yeah. Wow. That's incredible.
Bri
I want to talk about Mindful Nation. It was cute because Mateo and I were. I was listening to videos on the way to school. What an incredible thing that you created an app.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Yeah. Tell us a little bit about that.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. I mean, the app was like my. My. My child, you know, it was. It was really. We built it. I built it with Live Nation, really out of a need, because I want. I needed to meditate on, you know, being on tour and being so busy. But none of them other meditation apps were really for my kind of brain that, like, I just had no time. Less than. No time on the go busy. And also a little bit adhd. I need music. I need, like, you know.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
And so I wanted to build an app that was kind of like, for New Yorkers slash very busy people. Like, three minutes on the go. You don't have to sit down. You don't have to find a quiet space. But then, because I'm a music freak, I needed the music to be epic.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
And not just kind of like, you know, whale, dolphin sounds.
Bri
I love that. I like when things get a little. Oh, my God, how Viking is. I don't know why, but that, like, gets me, like, going. I'm like, all right, I'm here, you're here.
Neve McCarthy
We are here.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. So I wanted, like, epic, good music. So I. We built an app, Three Minute Meditations. I found these producers in, like, Ibiza Central pay Mykonos, and I just, like, pulled them off stage and was like, I need your music for this meditation app. Oh, my gosh.
Bri
It's really cool.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, it was. It was so much fun. It was because every. Every class, I treated it like an album because I didn't know any other way to work.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
So I was like, this app is going to be like, 30 albums for people's mental wellness. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. That's.
Bri
Now I need. I'm going to go meditate on that. I was. I research, like, you know, watching the videos and seeing what, you know, the app was about, but I didn't actually do any of the meditations.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, they're really good. Yeah.
Bri
But I felt like I saw you singing on stage.
Neve McCarthy
I don't. I lead meditations on stage.
Bri
Oh. Or you know what? That's what it is. I saw you leading a meditation, but there's music in the background.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. So I'm one of the trainers in the app.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Oh, my gosh. Now I'm gonna have to go do your meditation. That's so cool. I think that's great because you pro. I mean, and I see your following, so I, I see how you've brought in so many people to meditation, but that kind of music isn't for everyone. So that's genius that you thought of that and brought in a way to bring people peace and.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Especially now with mental.
Neve McCarthy
For sure. You gotta find there's something for everyone, you know, There really is. And what meditation, you know, there's so much kind of like, like, stigma around it that you have to sit here and look like this and home. And it's. Meditation is not about stealing your mind. It's not about controlling your thoughts. It's. It's about not letting your thoughts control you.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
So it doesn't have to be a certain way, you know? And so that was like, I was very, like, specific in the formula that, like, this three minute class will work, you know, like, this will work for you. Yeah, yeah. Because I was like, I want it to work for me. Yeah, yeah.
Bri
And that's kind of fun to, like, go around the world and, like, listen to people and be like, yep, you'll be healing.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the trainers in the app is actually Madonna's personal trainer, Marlene. Wow. And because when I was on tour, she was such a bright light and she's just like, hola, mamacita, let's get this. And so she brings like, she's Spanish and she's from Puerto Rico and she, like, brings this, like, really fun. And all her classes are like Afrobeat. Wow. Yeah. So it's kind of like a positive Ivy.
Bri
Yeah. Okay. I'm like, I can't wait to like, check this out after.
Neve McCarthy
I think, like, you'll love it.
Bri
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Neve McCarthy
We'll send you a call.
Bri
Oh, yes, please. That would be amazing. Now, have you written any books?
Neve McCarthy
We are. You're. You are psychic.
Bri
You know, I have a little bit of it.
Neve McCarthy
You just gotta download.
Bri
You know, honestly, I need to work on that.
Neve McCarthy
We are, we're. We're writing a book right now. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Bri
That is incredible.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. But the premise will be like, I love that, the concept of like. Because my spirit team, their energy is very lucky. And I'm Irish, so I'm like, Irish luck. I'm an Irish lucky charm.
Bri
Yeah, you are. I love that. Well, in our reading earlier, when you had told me some of that, immediately in my head I was like, irish look.
Neve McCarthy
I like that you got the Irish look. It's real on your side. It's here. Totally.
Bri
That's really cool. And do you guys have a date yet? Like when you think it may be released or.
Neve McCarthy
No, just for sure. Next year. Yeah.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
I'm going to Greece literally on Friday, and I'm going to spend a month just writing. Wow. Yeah.
Bri
That's really cool. Now, are you single in a relationship?
Neve McCarthy
I'm single single.
Bri
Oh, nice. So just the freedom to go. I mean, even in a relationship you got. You can have the freedom to go, but.
Neve McCarthy
And Greece. I love Greece. The energy there is really special.
Bri
I need to go. I still have not been to Greece. Dying to go. I've here. I've been like, to so many countries around the world.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Still have not made it to Greece.
Neve McCarthy
Super. Very special.
Bri
So then how do you decompress? Because you just are such a service worker to everyone, you know, whether it's now writing a book, but you're up, you know, to the medium work. How do you decompress?
Neve McCarthy
I mean, I honestly just being alone, like, I'm. I can heal myself kind of. You know, I'll. After I did the other day, I had like 10 meetings in one day in person, in L. A. So I was a little bit empty battery. So I just came home. I do like Epsom salt bat. I listen to some frequency music. Yeah. And then I'll lay down and just. I'll be out for the day.
Bri
Oh, nice.
Neve McCarthy
But water, I'm a big water person, so. And you know, water is very good to clean your energy. So if you're going. If you feel any negative, if you've been around people who are draining or energy vampires, like a good shower or good bath will. Will cleanse your energy. And I have all my little. My little things, you know, my little witchy things here, like my incense, my palo santo, my crystals, you know, they help. They help keep me magnetized.
Bri
Yeah, I love that. That's awesome.

Nikki
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
I love it.
Bri
Okay. Seeing 1111 means your manifestation is arriving tomorrow. Can people put way too much pressure on angel numbers?
Neve McCarthy
Yes, they can. But I do love, like 11:11 is you're. For me, you're supposed to be where you are. You're at the right place at the right time. Oh, I love that.
Bri
I get 1111 a lot.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
And then at 1253 has always been a thing with me. Is that not weird?
Neve McCarthy
Oh, we look that up.
Bri
I don't think I have, actually.
Neve McCarthy
Okay. Wow. Trying to think.
Bri
But yeah, 12:53. And it'll be, I mean, right on the dot and I'll see it and I'll go, Yep, that's right, 1253. For some reason, I don't know what it is.
Neve McCarthy
We'll find out. Yeah.
Bri
I love that repeated signs can be your soul team trying to get your attention.
Neve McCarthy
Yes. Yeah.
Bri
And in any shape or form.
Neve McCarthy
Like, if you keep seeing the same thing, like 555-555-5555 everywhere you go. Or if you keep seeing a blue butterfly. Yes. They're trying to get your attention for sure. Love that
Bri
Mercury retrograde is responsible for every bad decision you've ever made. Why do people blame Mercury retrograde for literally everything?
Neve McCarthy
Guilty.
Bri
Yeah, right. Me too. I'm like, oh, yeah. That's why.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. You need someone to blame. I mean, Mercury disrupts technology, so it does. It does affect things. It kind of spins things backwards. But so I always say during a Mercury retrograde, don't sign any big contracts. Yeah. You know, they'll be launching an app or like, anything goes to technology.
Bri
Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. Or Mercury.
Bri
Yeah. I feel like every time when I'm like when I say, gosh, it rains, it pours, I always find out it's mercury retrograde. I'm like, oh, okay. I just need to give it a beat. Getting a gut feeling that you shouldn't do something.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah, I would listen to that. Listen. Okay. Yeah.
Bri
Seen one. Crow means bad luck.
Neve McCarthy
No.
Bri
Yeah. Aren't they supposed to be, like, actually, like, messengers?
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Back in the day. Right, but isn't that. Aren't they supposed to actually have good signs to them?
Neve McCarthy
A crow. I've ever googled a spiritual meaning, but it's not bad. No, it's not a bad moment.
Bri
If you pull a death card in a turret, someone is going to die.
Neve McCarthy
Absolutely not. I love the death card. It means new beginning. Yeah. Yeah. We have to, like, preface it.
Bri
Yes, totally.
Neve McCarthy
Death is a new beginning. Yeah. See, that's a good thing.
Bri
If you accidentally break a crystal, disaster is coming.
Neve McCarthy
It depends on which crystal. I mean. Absolutely not. Come on.
Bri
Like, oh, no.
Neve McCarthy
People believe this. This is crazy.
Bri
Oh, people do. Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
No. Absolutely not.
Bri
It's like, also, I feel like with the crow, people do the same with, like, cats. Like, oh, no, a black cat walked in my path. Like, I'm doomed.
Neve McCarthy
No, no. But with the crystal thing, if I've had. I have had it where I've had a crystal break, and it's because there was negative energy around. So if your crystal broke, I would be saying to clear your space. Yeah, that's.
Bri
Hey, that's good to know.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Okay. I'm gonna remember that. Also, tell me if this is true, because I've heard this, but if you've had diamonds, let's say from a loved one and you lose it, that it was time for that to, like, be let go.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah.
Bri
Is that. Yeah.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. That's what they would tell me. Like, if I were to ask, they would say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
That's what I thought. And, you know, if it's supposed to come back, it will come back.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
As a new one or something new will be. It will be replaced. Okay.
Bri
It's good to know. Okay. I'm gonna might say this word wrong. Synchroninities. Did I say that right? Can help guide decisions.
Neve McCarthy
Yes. Okay. Yeah. Wow. But you're like. These are all like. I'm like. Yes.
Bri
Yeah. Right.
Neve McCarthy
Confirmed.
Bri
Confirmed. Your intuition usually feels calm even when it's warning you. What's the difference between intuition and anxiety?
Neve McCarthy
Intuition, anxiety. Yeah. Into anxiety is feeling tightness in the. In the heart. And your intuition will be calm.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
And. And soft and quiet. It won't be like a. Unless you're in a dangerous situation. It's like take a left, make a left turn, you know, but that will be. It will be sudden. Intuition comes suddenly. Anxiety is a build up, you know, so totally. It would be. I would say your heart would feel more open when your intuition is talking to you because anxiety will close the heart a little bit tightening.
Bri
Yeah, that's so true. Last one. If your ears start ringing, someone is talking about you.
Neve McCarthy
Well, I'm an. I am an Irish gal and my people would really be mad if I didn't say yes to this one. For me, my ears ring when I'm trying to. I need to hear a message.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. So I do think it's a. It's a sign though, when your ears ring. It's like to pay attention.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
I don't necessarily mean someone's talking about you. I think it's just pay attention.
Bri
Yeah, yeah, I've heard. And I feel like sometimes I'll feel this. And I heard someone say this, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's kind of like when you feel. It's kind of like a ring. Not a ring. I'm trying to think of the feeling I get with my ears. I can't think of the word, but people will say that means like the veils close or something.
Neve McCarthy
Okay.
Bri
It's like almost like a frequency wave or something.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. Well, usually when I'm channeling, my ear goes first.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
So when the veil is. Well, the veil is always here. But when it's like very here. Yeah. You'll. You'll hear maybe a high pitch or. A high pitch or like just a sound. Yeah. Like the energy in the room will shift.
Bri
Okay.
Neve McCarthy
And so whenever it's. That's a great question because whenever someone who's passed away comes to me, my ear will go first. Wow. So you're probably. Yeah, probably super close to wow.
Bri
That's amazing.
Neve McCarthy
What's your moon sign? Do you know your moon sign?
Bri
So I don't think I do. I'm Scorpio. I was born Nov. 21 in the late afternoon. I can't remember my moon sign.
Neve McCarthy
Okay, but you're water, so water is always pretty intuitive. Yeah, yeah.
Bri
And I've been told that before. And I've always had people come up to me because they could just. They know the feeling like, of accepting and they can talk to me or give me a message and. But. And I've had crazy things happen to me. I have to. We'll chat one time of like certain experiences that have been wild but There are moments where I feel like everything gets still, but then I have this thing that goes through my ears, and I'm like, what was that? And, like, as if it felt like a highway went through my brain.
Neve McCarthy
Like I.
Bri
Like, through my ears, and I'm like, someone right here. Like, what was that? You know, I love it when my son was a baby and he'd be saying, like, looking up and hi and whatever, and I'm like, who's here? Yeah. Because, you know, they say that with babies all the time.
Neve McCarthy
Yeah. Babies can see.
Bri
Yes. So I would always be like, all right. But I love it. Okay. So before I let you go, we always like to leave our listeners with a little bit of inspiration, affirmation. Is there any motto you want to leave us with inspiration, Anything like that?

Host: SiriusXM (Nikki & Brie Garcia)
Guest: Niamh McCarthy
This episode welcomes spiritual mentor, medium, and intuitive tarot reader Niamh McCarthy, who has made a career helping people connect to their intuition, spiritual “soul teams,” and life’s higher purposes. Niamh joins from LA, and the conversation spans her journey from the music industry (including working with Madonna and U2!) to becoming a sought-after spiritual guide, discussing intuition, Irish luck, spirituality, and practical energy wellness. The episode is full of practical advice, fun anecdotes, and a rapid-fire “Mindful or Mind Games” segment busting common spirituality myths.
“When I was about 19… I started working with Madonna when I was 20. I left college, moved to LA and did the whole music business thing. And it was amazing.” (04:16, Niamh)
“I was sitting at the bar... and I just kept hearing, go over to that girl... tell her she should leave Sweden and move to London. ...She just starts crying. ...This was kind of the beginning in which I was like, okay, there’s something more to this life.” (05:47, Niamh)
“When people have passed over... it’s usually their voice. …Her mom [spoke] in German... I don’t speak German.” (08:03, Niamh)
“The premise of all of life is being able to be still and be with yourself... For me, it’s meditation.” (15:08, Niamh)
“Every person has intuition. It just arrives a bit differently for everybody.” (22:18, Niamh)
“You have to move through fear. ... I have a lot of faith in God, I have a lot of faith in the unseen forces.” (24:39, Niamh)
“We’re not messing with people’s fate, with destiny, it’s not possible to do that. ...For me, it’s your spiritual team.” (17:03, Niamh)
“I just focus on love and healing and beings of light.” (18:57, Niamh)
“One is just like a sense of peace and clarity and then direction... Do I put out this song? ...Do I go with this company?” (28:08, Niamh)
“I can’t read for myself so I’m always like, wow, I wish I could get a reading like that.” (28:45, Niamh)
“Three-minute meditations... I found these producers in Ibiza, St. Tropez, Mykonos… I needed the music to be epic, not just, you know, whale, dolphin sounds.” (30:15, Niamh)
“If you feel any negative... a good shower or good bath will cleanse your energy.” (35:36, Niamh)
[37:02 – 44:04]
Niamh plays a quick game debunking and clarifying popular spiritual beliefs:
“We’re writing a book right now... the premise will be like the concept of Irish luck. I’m an Irish lucky charm.” (33:38, Niamh)
