We were lucky to catch up with Terrie Huberman recently and have shared our conversation below.
Terrie , appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
The biggest risk I’ve ever taken was in my learning more about my authentic needs and wants, not what my family or society wanted for me.
My journey officially started when I turned 40 and I had my first mediumistic experience, got terrified and knew it would happen again. I’d always been highly intuitive because I was so sensitive to everything and anyone outside of me, as a trauma response (I come from a holocaust surviving family).
I was gainfully employed in a job that I liked, made a regular consistent salary, paid my bills on time and in full.
Instinctively knowing this was not my last paranormal or metaphysical experience, I pursued training and mentorship for my sensitivities and found British medium Lisa Williams who opened me up to a whole new world.
From there my sensitive talents grew and I began to take a deeper look into my Earthly life and though I was employed with a stable, secure job, it ended up NOT being stable or secure – I got laid off and had just paid for a 3 week spiritual retreat & tour of India.
This poked at my money anxiety and led me on a journey of transformation and healing the trauma I experienced growing up and its affects on me today with money and romantic relationships.
During this time period I started my own business as a psychic medium (I was kinda forced to after losing my job) and I had to take a deep, dark look into myself, my needs, my wants, and what I was actually doing with my life.
I invested in coaches and business/marketing programs and trauma therapy (EMDR, neurofeedback, tapping, talk-therapy) and began having really weird callings to expand my consciousness and awareness by learning more energy healing techniques like Integrated Energy Therapy, Reiki, Or Hachaim System of Kabbalistic Healing, and Pranic Healing. The most transformational for me was experiencing multi-dimensional awareness and the Quantum Healing teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza.
All of these experiences of investing the time, money, and energy into myself was a huge risk, and I had no idea what the end result would be. Ultimately, I still don’t know because it’s all a risk – financially, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
So, for me, the biggest risk I took (and continue to take) is being authentic with myself and following the breadcrumbs of my soul.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I come from a family of highly intuitive women on my mom’s side of the family. At 19 I started to ‘play’ around with tarot cards and at 25 I would read tarot for people at parties or gatherings, and I was always just good at anticipating others’ needs.
As a kid I was always fascinated with Wonder Woman’s ‘Lasso of Truth’ because it got down to the bottom line. I was/am always a truth seeker and operated as a ‘more than meets the eye’, and ‘bigger more meaningful picture’ kind of woman.
Growing up Jewish, mysticism was natural in our family. At one point I became what’s called ‘Baal Teshuva’ which is a return to religious observance. In that period of my life, my connection to God strengthened and I would dream of bombings that happened in Israel, right before they happened. and I’d hear about it the next day. I went to speak with a Rabbi about it because I didn’t have the confidence in my abilities then like I do now, and I was told to turn my ‘Kavanah’ (sincere feeling of the heart) down or off. That didn’t sit well with me – my body clenched. It was not my authenticity to shut down my heart.
So, for me, there was always a comfort and knowingness in ‘more than meets the eye’. It was actually a natural progression that I’d eventually earn an income from doing this type of work. I don’t think anyone who knows me personally is surprised at my ‘job’.
I was just really good with people, I could understand them, know them, advise them, support them, anticipate their needs, and pretty much meet them. Every time I’d go to a market or a clothing store, I was always the person someone would go to and ask for help…as if I worked there and had some knowledge they needed. That still happens.
At 25 I knew my purpose – which was to make people smile. I just didn’t know HOW that was going to happen or what that would look like.
And as I evolved and transformed in my healing, I’ve been able to teach and share my lessons, the personal multidimensional experiences, and what I’ve learned from quantum theory, while I continue learn, (I’m currently studying Arhatic Yoga) with individuals who are pretty much like me: an ambitious, Spiritual Empath who gets blocked by anxiety.
I help sensitive, spiritual, and anxious individuals reclaim their inner power and find clarity in life’s chaos. My teaching process is an answer when they want to break free from fear and anxiety. With my guidance, they gain emotional resilience, tap into their intuition, and confidently navigate life, creating a reality filled with confidence, security, and abundance.
I think what sets me apart from other psychic mediums are two things: The first is my practical, grounded approach – I like to bring in science into my sessions and don’t accept spiritual bypassing. I can be tough like that, I’m a no BS kinda lady and you have to work with Earthly ways and not purely rely on only the Universe to save you.
The second is my sense of humor – I’ve been through hell and back emotionally and spiritually, so I resonate with sarcasm and some darkness, plus humor can only come from things that are true, otherwise no one can relate. And humor is relatable, it’s connective. engaging, and disarming.
What I’m proud of is when my clients feel supported to be brave and courageous enough to level up, access their intuition, and get themselves out of indecision and into trust, to work WITH the anxiety and alongside the Universe, and really creating the life they actually want, not the one they’re told to or hope to have.
Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?
Great question!
1- The ability to admit if you’re wrong. Being highly intuitive doesn’t necessarily equate to being right. Intuitives and healers are still humans and operate from their personal experiences, so if we’re triggered into our own untrue narratives and can’t be objective because of excessive emotion, we can be wrong. And if we are vulnerable enough to own that wrongness and not bypass it, we can actually build trust with clients.
2- The ability to be kind instead of nice. Being nice can be enabling, being kind allows someone to take a stand and drift into their own power. Sometimes it hurts to tell the truth to someone, but at least with that truth, they can take an action from the right viewpoint, instead of emotional distortion.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
A lesson I’ve had to unlearn and continue to implement using the tools I’ve acquired, is breaking the pattern of rushing into and slowing down in relationships, especially in the courting process, when I have a connection with a man.
I come from a Jewish culture that puts a lot of pressure to get married and have a family. Apparently, it’s the next several generations’ responsibility to replenish all of those who perished in the holocaust…(hopefully you can sense my sarcastic humor when you read that).
So, with that upbringing, it was really important to know right away if the man I was dating was ‘the one’. The anxiety would make it seem like I had to know RIGHT NOW, pushing away potentially good partners.
I’d also stick around in crappy relationships, hoping to be picked, instead of doing the picking, because I was trying to fulfill the needs of my Jewish ancestry, not my true self. I didn’t even really truly know what kind of partner I needed, just that I had to have one, which was detrimental to me emotionally.
Unknowingly, that behavior put me in masculine energy…not helpful when I want to attract masculine energy; and those two energies clash – like basically a power play.
Once I learned more about how energy worked and experimented with those frequencies (I fancy myself a mad scientist), I realized that my core is feminine and feminine energy is slow and receives…doesn’t pursue or push or rush the dating process, like I was doing.
About 4 years ago I met a guy who really brought this lesson to life. And I realized I was sticking around in a relationship where he was in his feminine energy, and because of that I was masculine and I was doing all the work and therefore I was out of alignment and miserable.
As I’ve gone through my own healing, I’ve learned and accepted that I don’t want to be the one who replenishes the entire Jewish people, so I’ve dropped a lot of that pressure and expectation and stopped feeling so defeated in this area of my life. This allows me to slow down, and now that I have more clarity in my needs in a partner and more importantly in a relationship, I can take the time to explore and learn and experiment with feminine energy to get there.
