68: Life After… Being Haunted: House clearing, letting go, and saying goodbye to the man who watched me sleep
<p>I've told you about being psychic. Now let me tell you about being haunted.</p><p><br></p><p>For years I've sensed things I can't fully explain: a spirit who attached herself to me during my last abusive relationship, gentle presences in a home that finally felt safe, and a man who has watched me sleep for as long as I can remember. I never felt scared of him. I just accepted he was there.</p><p><br></p><p>But recently, things in my apartment started shifting, and I had to face a question I wasn't ready for: what if the presence I'd mistaken for a protector was actually the thing holding me back?</p><p><br></p><p>I chat about:</p><ul><li>The ghost I believe I lived with during my last abusive relationship, and how her silence mirrored the silence I was living in</li><li>The man who has watched me sleep for years, and why I never felt afraid of him</li><li>How things in my apartment turned unsettling</li><li>Booking a house clearing with a medium, and discovering the haunting wasn't just mine, it was the whole floor of the building</li><li>Being asked "are you ready to let go of him?" and realising the question wasn't really about a ghost</li><li>The phone call with my dad that same night, where he told me he loved me for the very first time </li></ul><p><br></p><p>Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this episode isn't really about ghosts. It's about the things we hold onto long after they've stopped serving us, and what happens when we finally ask ourselves if we're ready to let go.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><ul><li>19: Life After… Becoming Psychic: Intuition, ghost stories, and spiritual energy: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5vi5iqrzoPA7OvWB0EFX12">https://open.spotify.com/episode/5vi5iqrzoPA7OvWB0EFX12</a></li><li>Spiritual As F**k Podcast: <a href="https://www.spiritualaf.co/podcast">https://www.spiritualaf.co/podcast</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Apply to be an author in the Life After I Left Anthology: <a href="https://forms.gle/XKMtPoukCfVKnbqF9">https://forms.gle/XKMtPoukCfVKnbqF9</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Cat:</strong></p><ul><li>Join my mailing list: <a href="https://catlouisedunn.myflodesk.com/mailing-list">https://catlouisedunn.myflodesk.com/mailing-list</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeafterileftpodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/lifeafterileftpodcast/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catlouisedunn/">https://www.instagram.com/catlouisedunn/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catlouisedunn/">https://www.facebook.com/catlouisedunn/</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/catlouisedunn/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/catlouisedunn/</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://catlouisedunn.com/">https://catlouisedunn.com/</a></li><li>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-after-i-left/id1815891092">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-after-i-left/id1815891092</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@catlouisedunn">https://www.youtube.com/@catlouisedunn</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Support the show:</strong></p><p>Got a topic idea or would love to share your story on the podcast?
