He explains that he sees Spirit in his mind\u2019s eye, and he hears and feels their communications. \u201cSpirit uses my own frame of reference and symbols to help me convey their messages.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe I am meant to help others along their healing journey,\u201d he continues. \u201cWhether a client seeks guidance on a specific topic, wants to connect with a loved one in Spirit, or wants to deepen their own spiritual practice, I\u2019m here to help like any great guncle who knows a lot of sh-t would.\u201d<\/p>\n
As far as the messages that he most often receives from Spirit, Travis says our dearly departed wish that we would let go of regret, guilt, and shame. \u201cOne of the things I have learned from Spirit is that most of what we carry isn\u2019t necessary. In the end, all that really matters is love.\u201d<\/p>\n
I was able to have a reading with Travis, who shared messages of hope and encouragement from my loved ones and really seemed to know a lot about me and my loved ones and I was left feeling elated. He is a wonderful guide and I personally can\u2019t recommend having a reading with him for yourself. I also had the chance to speak with Travis about his work and so much more in our exclusive interview. I sense you\u2019re going to enjoy getting to know this Warrior Unicorn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
How did you begin your psychic journey?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI make this joke all the time \u2013 and my mom hates it when I tell it so it makes me want to tell it even more, but it’s so true. When I was growing up, my grandmother on my dad’s side, we had this amazing relationship and we would play with the Ouija board when I was a kid. And so, I always make the joke of like, \u201cOh, we’d play with the Ouija board. And that’s how it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
I’ve always been very sensitive and just very connected to energy of others, energy that’s in the spirit world. But I didn’t know what it was at the time. I just thought I was like super sensitive or had a vivid imagination. And then as I got a little bit older, I learned that I might not just be too sensitive or have a vivid imagination. I might actually be connecting with something that’s outside of myself. And I always equate it to like my journey of being gay, where I really didn’t know I was different until other people told me I was different.\u00a0 So, I’d be talking to my parents and I’d be like, \u201cHey, I’ve got this friend here who looks like this and he pops up in my room.\u201d Sometimes my parents are like, \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n
And similar as when I was growing up and I was kind of figuring out that I was gay that I was like, oh, I like boys and my parents are like, what are you talking about? You know, very similar there.\u00a0 So, as I got older and grew up, I just kind of realized, oh, I’m just I’m different than some people.<\/p>\n
You had a career in beauty before you went over to this. You were making people beautiful on<\/strong> the outside and now you’re making people feel beautiful on the inside. Is that how you look at it?<\/strong><\/p>\nYeah, kind of. I mean, you know, I’ve always been very aligned with helping people feel good, helping people feel good. People feel great about themselves. And so, when I was in the beauty industry, I loved connecting with people through makeup and helping them feel good. And so now that I’m kind of on this side of things, yeah, you’re totally right. It is like helping people on the inside and helping them be the fullest expression of who they are.<\/p>\n
Last month was mental health month. This month is Pride month.\u00a0 Do you work a lot within the LGBTQ community?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nYou know, I work primarily with women between the ages of 35 and 50, they are the good bulk of my clients, but I do have quite a few people in the gay community that I also work with. It’s interesting because when I’m in the gay community and doing this work, there’s still a lot of religious trauma that’s there. So, they hear, you know, oh, there’s a spirit medium and he’s connecting the loved ones in spirit that kind of like can activate some things for the gay community. But I do find those that are open and open to the idea of mediumship are very receptive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am seeing more and more people from the gay community be receptive to this type of work and the healing that it can provide. I am serving more and more folks that are in the gay community. I do think there’s, like I was saying, there is that little bit of hesitation around anyone that’s connected to some type of spirituality just because of religious trauma or what have you.<\/p>\n
How are you celebrating Pride this month?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI’m spending lots of time with my friends, spending lots of time with the people that are my chosen family. I think that that’s a beautiful reminder about Pride is that we get to sometimes choose our families in this lifetime. Pride to me is also being that fullest expression of Pride \u2013 who we are and the wide range of colors that we all have within us. So, I’ll go to some festivals. I love a festival. I love going out dancing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Don’t we all. \u00a0So, what do you feel is the best thing about what you do?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI love people and I love connecting with people and I love helping people. And so, to just be able to share messages from those that have departed or helping people better understand their journey or their purpose here is so fulfilling for me.<\/p>\n
Have you discovered anything about yourself that was surprising as you’ve been working with your clients over the years?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nIt’s interesting that you’re bringing this up because I’m in the middle of writing out a video of how I want to talk about this journey for myself. What I was not anticipating was how much healing that I would get from helping other people heal along their journey. I think that’s been one of the biggest surprises, but also one of the biggest gifts that I’ve received from this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What do you find is your biggest challenge in doing what you do?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nEnergetic boundaries for sure. Like I said, I love people and I want to help everybody, but I am only one person and so it’s not necessarily physically possible, but I find ways to help as many people as I can, like through Instagram or through live events. I find that that helps me kind of reach a lot of people at one time.\u00a0<\/p>\nPhoto by Brazen House Studios- Melissa Stone <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI am sure you have faced your share of skeptics. How do you deal with skeptics in your industry?<\/strong><\/p>\nI just let those folks be where they’re at. I’m not here to convince anybody of what I do. I’m just here to serve those who resonate with the work or align with this type of work and I think with skeptics, they’re on their own journey of figuring stuff out, and that’s okay. I just let them be right where they’re at.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What are you hoping to achieve with the work that you do?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI want to help as many people as possible and allow the universe to work through me while I do that. That’s it. Everything else is just amazing, right? Anything else that comes from it is just great, but ultimately, I’m here to let the universe work through me and help as many people as possible.<\/p>\n
Now, you have a podcast, Psychic Happy Hour<\/em>. Can you tell me a little bit more about that?<\/strong><\/p>\nPsychic Happy Hour<\/em> was born from just wanting to help educate more people about psychic work and mediumship and just to really help kind of demystify some of it because I think some of it can be either a little confusing or there just isn’t a lot of knowledge around it.<\/p>\nSo, my goal always is to just educate even when I’m in private sessions and Psychic Happy Hour<\/em> is just one of the ways that I help educate people.\u00a0<\/p>\nYou have amassed quite a large audience on social media, and you’ve got a lot of followers, and you’ve got your podcast. What is on your bucket list of things you’d like to still do?<\/strong><\/p>\nOh, I would love to write a book. I think that’s been a desire of mine for a long time. I would love to continue doing live events.\u00a0 But ultimately, I want to serve and do all of these things in a very balanced and peaceful way. I’m in a place in my life where I feel so free and so just maintaining that freedom is my ultimate desire out of all of that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
