Standout stories/teachings:

• The uncashed check under the mattress. During a reading, a husband in spirit repeatedly shows Suzanne money hidden under a mattress. The sitter initially says no, but then realizes he is referring to an uncashed check that had been tucked away. The story becomes a lesson in how spirit often communicates accurately, but not always literally.
• “Did he know I heard him?” After a reading, a sitter emails Suzanne with an unexpected question: Did my loved one know I heard his messages during the reading? Suzanne uses the question to explore the nature of consciousness and communication across the veil, highlighting that these are not one-way conversations.
• Brenda’s surprising answer about Ruthie. One of the most personal moments of the evening comes when Suzanne asks Brenda why she cannot connect with her own mother, Ruthie, after her passing. Brenda’s answer is unexpected: because doing so would reinforce Suzanne’s sense of being a separate self. This launches a profound discussion about identity, attachment, and awakening beyond the personal story.
• The counselor who couldn’t forgive. Suzanne shares a powerful reading for a licensed counselor who had spent years carrying resentment toward her daughter’s husband. Spirit shows Suzanne that the emotional burden was affecting her health and uses the reading to teach about forgiveness, healing, and the cost of remaining trapped in our stories.
