You Know Your Way Home
By Suzanne Jauchius
More Info: Suzanne Jauchius
When I know I’m going to interview a psychic, that abused little girl that I was, gets giddy, thinking she is finally going to be rescued. But this afternoon, as soon as I heard Suzanne Jauchius’ voice, my power snapped back, filling my body once again.
That tells me a lot right there. Suzanne has an empowering spirit.
Suzanne Jauchius’ book, You Know Your Way Home, which I reviewed here, is not so much the psychic hits, as it is about finding her voice. And, that, everyone can relate to. In Suzanne’s case, her voice was expression of the images and knowledge most of us don’t have access to. She lost that voice, following the script given her — to be a housewife — five times!
“I always took my cues from the outside world…As I wrote the book, I realized that four of the (husbands) came through my family…so, taking the cues from my outside world, I didn’t trust my uncomfortableness.”
She said it took about five years before she could live alone. It took eight years of therapy. Suzanne’s willingness to be courageous and write about the journey, is sparking appreciation for her courage. She says she’s sixty. She is radiant and youthful, one of those ageless spirits.
We read some Instant Messages on the air today — I expected the usual “when will I be successful/meet the right partner/make more money?” But no, the IM’s hinted at abuse and codependency, and Suzanne told one woman to leave her guy who kept turning to drink.
Speaking of the readings Suzanne does to promote the book, she said, “When I read the book, I’m like what’s wrong with this woman, she’s going to do it again. Oh my God, she did it again. And then I’m like, oh wait a minute, that’s me.”
It began when she was a child — she was shamed for her abilities, despite the fact that her grandmothers were both psychic. No one told her that, so, Suzanne shared on the show today, a piece of her went into hiding. In the meantime, she was secretly learning how to do readings.
She did a brief reading for me after the show, telling me that as a child I was very intuitive, able to see between the lines, which, as an adult, translates into being a detective, say, or an interviewer, asking the right questions to reveal what I already know. She says that kind of childhood prepares one for a life of a writer. She sees a book. And a screenplay. And because she sees them, she knows they will be successful. She sees a trip to New York, a pull to the Big Apple. She is completely correct. I have written a book, which is with a NY agent, and I was thinking of going to visit him in the next month or so, and I’ve written a screenplay and two-thirds of a novel. Nice!
I asked if she can read for herself. “I can do that through dreamwork. My dreams come true.”
