We recently connected with Terrie Huberman and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Terrie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Over the course of your career, have you seen or experienced your field completely flip-flop or change course on something?

Do you hear that screech? That’s me slamming on the brakes HARD as I turn around the bend with my business. I started out as a psychic medium doing readings, which was fun, but it got boring because talking about the past/present/future wasn’t ‘soul evolution,’ the heart of being human.

I was expanding my gifts as a healer, so I transitioned (not so easily) into a more healing aspect of psychism. I’m pretty accurate in my predictions, but many didn’t want to hear that they needed to take more accountability and responsibility in their lives to get the results they wanted.

But I stuck to it because it was my calling to help people.

My energy-reading talents are off the charts because I operate from my heart (while still using my head, of course). I became very conscious of the frequencies of anxiety and overwhelm, and I can identify them in others and help them through it.

As I worked with my clients, they honed my empathy, compassion, and sympathy, and I recognized so much of myself in them.

Through working with my clients, going through my own transformation from trauma, all of my healing and metaphysics courses, paranormal experiences, and trauma-informed education, I pulled together a guide and wrote a book for folks like me: a highly sensitive, ambitious, intelligent, kind, compassionate, empathetic person with a tendency to overthink every decision and get overwhelmed and anxious while moving towards getting results.

Now I’m on a mission to train highly sensitive overthinkers to discover and trust their inner authority by teaching them to optimize their energy and emotions to manage overwhelm and anxiety.

I also happen to do all of that with a spiritual flair.

So I have made several U-turns. So far, this has been my path: Psychic Medium > Author > Speaker

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I gained some notoriety after doing a few psychic and mediumship readings for a YouTube influencer. That led to a few more media opportunities, which I’m so grateful for. As I developed my gifts, my content and work evolved as well, setting me apart from most psychics and mediums.

A few years ago, this YouTube influencer was canceled, and there was a lot of chaos and drama surrounding her experience. I didn’t think it would affect me at all, but it did, simply because I had worked with her a couple of times, and my business took a hit because of it.

Since I consider myself an ‘energy witch’ of sorts, I did an experiment, shaving my slightly longer, wavy locks into a super-short, military-style buzz cut to see if anything would happen, since so much of our energy is held in our hair.

And boy did it!

My business tanked; I was rear-ended in an accident that caused significant chronic pain in my tailbone; and I was a victim of domestic terrorism when an arsonist set my apartment building on fire.

So I had PLENTY of trauma to deal with and many opportunities to overthink, get overwhelmed, and feel anxious as I rebuilt my inner authority, awareness, and sensitivity, and my business.

It was like a complete and total life reset. I will most likely not be shaving my head again.

So I had to dig myself out of an emotional and energetic hellhole.

I decided not to be a victim, redirected myself toward creating and helping others, and wrote a book on how to overcome overthinking, master emotions, gain clarity to improve intuition, and make confident life decisions.

That’s how I coped with the uncertainty, fear, sadness, frustration, and overwhelm the arson experience left me with.

I wrote the book while healing myself by overcoming the looping fears and thoughts.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I think knowing yourself really well is the most helpful when succeeding in your field. When you know yourself, you know your values.

Values are the lantern that light my path and guide my direction. My values are freedom, joy, and security. So when I run my business, I run it through the lens of those values.

What it does is give me authenticity, and that’s what people crave. Authenticity builds connection, and the human brain is wired for connection.

The other super important thing to remember is that when I run my business by my values, it gives me integrity. It gives my clients clarity so they can make good, firm decisions for themselves. Integrity has karmic repercussions, both good and bad.

I want my clients to also experience freedom, joy, and security through our work together. I don’t want just a one-off connection with them. I’m a relationship builder, and my clients trust me because of my consistency, which gives that integrity.

So you could have all the knowledge in the world and be the smartest in your field, but if you don’t have values or don’t know what they are, there’s a real big missing component of ‘humanity’ in your field.

With so many systems being done for you and with AI, more and more human connections will be needed and wanted. When your clients work with you, they’re going to want you to be authentic, compassionate, and not robotic.

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

I would definitely choose the same profession and specialty again. Without a doubt, it’s in my blood and beingness.

What I’d do differently is start it earlier and follow directions better!

My spiritual teacher, Master Choa Kuk Sui, said to ‘follow simple instructions,’ and the tendency I fight is to find a better, faster way to accomplish a task or goal out of anxiety.

Anxiety lies to you, making you think something is wrong and that you have to get to the end result FAST. But each time I didn’t slow down or follow the instructions given to me, I’d mess it up, have to redo it several times, wasting a lot of time and energy (usually frustration) until I completed the goal.

I learned that if I breathe, go step by step, and move slowly, I only have to do what is needed once, and it is done well.

So any advice that I was given, I’d do differently and follow the instructions.
