Drop us a textShe was four years old when she told her mum that the man up the road had died in the night — She was right.Chezzi Denyer spent the next four decades becoming the most logical, credible, provable version of herself she could manage. She built a career in television. She worked at Sunrise. She was a journalist. And she pushed that other part of herself so far down that she almost forgot it existed.Then her best friend Amy died. And Amy, being Amy, refused to stay quiet about it.Chezzi is one of Australia's most recognisable television producers, a certified psychic medium, a mental health advocate, and the author of the memoir The Weird Little Girl Who Talks to Ghosts. This is a conversation about grief, intuition, the gift that kept getting punished, and what it costs a woman to spend her life hiding the truest thing about herself.If you've ever had a knowing you talked yourself out of — this one is for you.CHAPTERS0:00 — Introduction3:00 — Coming out 8:00 — Self-protection vs living a lie11:00 — Chezzi's first memory of the gift17:00 — Catholic school, the cane, and praying not to go to hell22:00 — ADHD at 4026:00 — Holding it all together 30:00 — Suppressing spirit 35:00 — Intuition as a muscle40:00 — Signs and the language you build with the universe44:00 — Danielle's mum48:00 — Losing Amy58:00 — Medium school 64:00 — Grant's accident68:00 — The vision quest that wasn't76:00 — The messages from spirit80:00 — Unconditional love and losing the fear of dying83:00 — For the woo curiousKEY TAKEAWAYSSelf-protection and living a lie can look the same from the outside — but only one of them is something you chose in order to survive. Intuition is subtle. But it's almost always the very first thing you feel — before the second-guessing starts.You can choose your own language with the universe and ask for what you need. Chezzi asked for a crow mid-recording. Three came. The people we've lost aren't missing us the way we miss them — because they're still with us. They just want us to live.The truest thing about you is not a problem to be managed. It may have been treated that way. That's not the same thing.FAQSWhat is Chezzi Denyer's book about? The Weird Little Girl Who Talks to Ghosts is Chezzi's debut memoir. It tells the story of a life spent hiding a gift she was born with — and the grief, courage, and surrender it took to finally own it. The last section of the book contains messages received from spirit, written in Chezzi's own hand.How did Chezzi Denyer become a psychic medium? After the death of her close friend Amy in 2022, Chezzi began experiencing what she believed were signs from Amy — birds flying into windows, songs playing on radios that weren't on, her young daughter pointing to empty corners of the room. She enrolled in The Medium School in Canada, studied under renowned psychic Tony Stockwell at Arthur Findlay College in the UK, and became a certified medium in 2024.What is claircognizance? Claircognizance is a form of psychic knowing — where you simply know something without being able to explain how. Chezzi describes not being able to leave the house the day of Grant's accident, and the same feeling the morning of September 11. It's different from intuition in that it arrives as a certainty rather than a nudge.RESOURCES AND LINKSChezzi Denyer —⁠ Instagram⁠⁠The Weird Little Girl Who Talks to Ghosts⁠ — available now wherever books are sold⁠The Weird Little Girl Facebook Circle ⁠— Facebook group for woo curious community Danielle Colley — ⁠daniellecolley.com.au⁠ Big Stuff — ⁠[email protected]⁠If this episode reached into your chest and squeezed something — share it with one person who needs to hear it.
