Sex & the Single Psychic: My Greatest Love Lessons… and a Few Laughs
Do you ever think you might be cursed when it comes to love? Ever feel like your amazing partner might be trapped in a dungeon with no way of getting out to meet you?
I thought it was time for us to spice things up and have a few laughs! After all, it is Mercury Retrograde, and I think we all could use a few chuckles. So, I’m going to share some funny tales of my own experiences as a psychic intuitive and talk about a few of the lessons we can all keep in mind during life’s ups and downs. Today, let’s the tackle the spicy subjects—sex and love! Ready?
Before I met my husband Marc, I kissed my share of frogs. Just as my career started to take off and my phone started ringing off the hook, my love life took the most bizarre turn.
First there was the conservative Jewish guy who seemed nice and down to earth. We could chat for hours and had the same sense of humor. Even though I was raised Christian, I was still worthy of his interest since my mother was Jewish. When we first got around to discussing my work, I told him I was a psychic. But, things took a dramatic turn when a few months later I mentioned that I was teaching a “You Are Psychic” class and wouldn’t be able to meet him for dinner. He threw a bit of a tantrum and said his parents wouldn’t approve of my work. I never heard from him again.
But don’t worry; I soon met a really hot firefighter. We saw each other from across the room just like in the movies, and that was it. He really, really liked me and he was cute. Yet, he turned into a frog the minute he saw some tarot cards on my kitchen table. He sped away saying that his mother also “saw” things and she was completely crazy.
Still I persevered! Next I met a wine steward. Though I’m a recovered alcoholic, I still somehow thought I could make it work. I mean he was so handsome and he did mention that he meditated and was into astrology; so of course we would fall madly in love. Ha! At first I thought it was great that he’d ask me about my abilities, but he and his friends soon began relating to me as if I was a 24/7 psychic hotline. He’d ask me what he was thinking or for insight at the most inopportune times. So, that was the end of that.
Then there was a smart and wonderful lawyer who would shower me with compliments, flowers, and chocolate. After several romantic dates, he invited me to his house in the Bahamas for the weekend. We sat at dinner planning our trip but things came to a dramatic halt when I mentioned I worked as a clairvoyant counselor. (Considering my recent dating experience at that point, I decided to avoid using the word “psychic” since it seemed to set off alarms!) The lawyer freaked out and I fled from the restaurant as he was insisting that he needed to save my soul.
And the singles parties! Don’t you love to hate singles parties? I usually avoided opportunities for small talk, but my well-meaning friend talked me into going to this swanky party one night. At this point, I was tired of the reactions people had to my work as a psychic. My friend said she told the other people I went to a private school growing up and had lived abroad for a bit. So, I tagged along. But then it curious partygoer got word that I was a recovered alcoholic who conversed with a giant angel and sometimes talked to dead people. All I could do after that was munch on the chips and pretend to be fascinated with a few pictures on the wall, until I could finally leave.
While talking with callers on my HayHouseRadio.com show, I often tell them to pay attention to red flags and the patterns in their lives. I’ve taught what I had to learn. At the time, the men I was attracting mirrored my inner conflict with being psychic and worthy of a stable committed man. You may also wonder how I missed the red flags. Indeed, my desire clouded my intuition. All of these frogs were also pushing me to do some work on myself. I go into detail of how you can clear you intuitive filters and get out of the haze of desire in my book Remembering the Future. When I finally paid attention and did that work, the payoff was beyond my greatest dreams.
By the time I had met my now husband Marc, I’d thrown my hands up in the air but was also comfortable with all of who I am. And, he was well worth the wait. Not only did he not run for the hills at the mention of the word psychic, he’s alright with doing dishes!
So, here are some of the lessons I’ve learned about love:
If you truly want an amazing healthy relationship, you need to love all of who you are.
When you keep attracting the same type of person, remember you are the common denominator. You have to take a look at YOU, not point fingers at them.
Have faith. Spirit knows what is in your highest good and has a plan for you that is yours alone.
Let go of attachment and trust. What is yours can never be taken away.
And, keep a sense of humor. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t taken all these men and their behavior so seriously.
Exercise:
What lessons have you learned about love? Take some time to journal about your partners, both past and present, and what message they have for you. Then look for a little humor in the experiences that didn’t turnout as you wanted.
Ask Spirit for a message: Close your eyes and get quiet for a few minutes. Then ask Spirit for a message for you about love. Write down whatever comes to mind through your intuition.
And, share your stories and lessons with us!

: ) Ah, life’s a ball isn’t it? It’s much more funny when we look back, not always funny at the moment. Thanks for sharing your stories. Renews my faith and trust for my own relationship path.
LOVE YOU! (Not in a psycho way ; ) Stole that from the radio show the other day – it was a perfect way to say it…)
Blessings!
Im still in shock as to how you can read our minds let alone “mine ” lol. I was just cursing about this in my head as i type at work, and lo and behold….there’s your blog for today!!
Thanks for lifting my chin up, I love you so much woman Cynthia xoxoxo
Ohhh yes. I’m just developing my intuition more and more with the hopes of being a Reiki practitioner and intuitive counselor. You would not believe the looks I get from some people like “Are you crazy?!” I’m single now but I have faith that the right one will find me (or I’ll find her) in Divine timing! The one who doesn’t look at me like I have 3 heads!
Thanks for the laughs & insight Colette!
What a timely newsletter. Made me laugh. I want to write my own spoof now on those frogs I kissed. Had a firefighter too; doused him out as well.
Colette, your husband is hot! Thanks for sharing about your relationships, you give hope and understanding to a lot of people who’re having problems or who have given up on experiencing a good relationship. It is so important to notice the patterns in past relationships and what they are trying to tell you about what needs healing within yourself. Love you much.
Cherish
Its so beautifull how open your eyes are. i loved your book Remembering The future. i look forward to see you in person when you come to New England again. absolute inspiration and breath of fresh air that a person such as yourself exists to inspire people. a hard job to master the world on your shoulders.
Im an intuitive myself. Im also half jewish. dealt with my own addictions. I read your book and felt we went thru exactly the same trials. It was like reading what im becomming. Im 25 still learning although ive had an abundant knowledge when i came into life. As an intuitive id like to share my knowledge and understanding. Internal Clenzing. Its amazing. Its like washing the dirt off your hands in a spiritual way. I feel people will get over their hurdles faster if someone put more knowledge about your mind body and soul is all connected. Dr hulda clark is the best route ive done it all lol. god bless you. i hope one day i can touch and help people as much as yourself.
Thanks, Colette! And seriously, I do think you tap into our shared consciousness/experience so often. I read this last night after re-connecting after a decade with a lovely guy I’d had feelings for 10 years ago -but it was all confusing for both of us back then & we’d never actually moved forward with a relationship. It was a weird conversation last night because we both ended up clearing the air, confessing our enduring mutual admiration, and realizing we had been intimidated by the awesomeness of each other (!) all those years ago. Now we’re thousands of miles away from each other and he’s started seeing someone else…well, I’ve learned that the Universe sends you gifts in strange packages and it’s not always obvious. I realized through communicating with him that *tenderness* was one of the qualities he embodied that I hadn’t really sought out in relationships – but I need it. So, it was a really fruitful, if bittersweet, conversation! I know something I need from men as I move forward in my dating life.
Then I read your post here and had to giggle. It truly is all good and all God.
Much love and many thanks.
I was married for almost 24 years to a man who was not in the same realm as me. Kept me in a “box” and I fought to be me and never won….
14 years ago in my grooming shop, a man came in with his dog and my heart skipped a beat. Skipped a beat everytime he came in. We both were married so nothing was ever said.
I had to close my shop 4 years ago. I have never stopped wondering about him and how he is doing.
Two weeks ago, I had a dream about him. Got the courage to look him up and call him. He told me he thinks about me all the time but didn’t know how to find me. It has been incredible.
My point to all of this is you are right Colette. You attract who and what you desire. I was miserable all those years. I have been divorced now for almost a year. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I know what I want in my life and I think he is here.
Although, you told me my love would come with horses within a year. He doesn’t have horses but he has a collectible Mustang
Love you Colette. Thank you for always being so inspirational
Oh my gosh! That is pretty funny. So glad that you did find your prince. Thank you for the encouragement and words of well-earned wisdom!
I love, love, love this blog, Colette!
Thank you for reminder to keep the humour with our life lessons along the way. I am heading to Australia this week and my best friend just called to say ‘don’t kiss any toads over there’. I take these 2 messages as a sign and shall laugh at the past, remove my blinders and take a good, clear look before I kiss another frog!
XOXO

Colette, your dating experience sounds just like mine. My husband died 10 years ago, started dating 5 years ago and have only found frogs. This last guy is the worst of all but I keep hanging on. Why? Don’t have a clue. People say it’s not me but them but now reading your article I have to wonder what I am doing to keep attracting the same kind of guy.
Funny, I have decided to put it in God’s hands because I sure am not doing a good job of it.
Peace,
Beverly
Hi Colette, how come you didn’t mention how you met your former husband? Is there a story to him as well? Would be nice to read that part of your life.
Thanks, Trisha

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comOnce you understand that this is one of those times when you can succeed or have things your way, but not both, everything else will be simple. The problem is that while your objectives once made sense, the actual circumstances you're dealing with have changed. Success demands you rethink those goals. By Shelley von Strunckel
Some changes are easy to understand and as easily dealt with. Those you're contending with at the moment, however, are far more complicated. This is primarily because they involve changes far more complex than you've previous contemplated. Disruptive as they seem, the world around you is changing and so, too, must you. By Shelley von Strunckel
This is a period of breakthroughs. While in some cases you recognise why certain changes are necessary and what you'll gain from them, others seem no more than a nuisance. Ironically, those that you regard as the greatest source of irritation now will prove the most beneficial, and in the shortest time. By Shelley von Strunckel
Initially, others' suggestions may be more to their taste than anything you'd want to get involved in. As it happens, they know you better than you think. Enough that in this particular case it's worth at least exploring what they have in mind. Once you do, you'll wonder why you hesitated for even a moment. By Shelley von Strunckel
Ordinarily you'd never commit to something or, indeed, somebody without at least being enthusiastic about it. Ideally, you want to feel passion. There are, however, one or two situations in which logic must prevail over those feelings. Dull as this is from your perspective, it's by far the best approach. By Shelley von Strunckel
Challenging as some of the situations you're currently facing may be, they'll all preparing you for the amazing offers promised by the planetary activity in about a week's time. What's taking place now is, on one hand, clearing out the old and, on the other, slowing introducing exciting new developments. By Shelley von Strunckel
Personal issues can be dealt with according to mood and convenience. Business or money matters need to wait until you've gathered facts enough to have a reasonable discussion. That certainly isn't the case now and probably won't be until your ruler Venus' clash with Pluto, in the middle of next week. By Shelley von Strunckel
Obviously, sometimes sudden changes in routine can be avoided. This is exactly what you're facing. The problem is, you're concerned one particular individual will interpret your absence from various social events as reason for concern. While it's worth explaining, such matters bother you but they worry others far less than you think. By Shelley von Strunckel
It's not that things are unsettling. Actually, you rather enjoy the challenge of coming to terms with the new and unexpected. It's that those around you are anxious, complaining about the impact of changes or actually suffering. There's only one solution, and that's to encourage them to explore, just as you do. By Shelley von Strunckel
During periods of rapid and unpredictable change, such as this is, there's a tendency to stick with the familiar. However, this could mean that, while others are exploring, you're learning nothing. The trick is to ensure you're out and about, learning what you can, yet retain a safe port to retreat to when necessary. By Shelley von Strunckel
From your perspective, loyalty means being there, no matter what. Bear in mind that not everybody thinks the same way. This is especially important now, because somebody you've trusted could seem to be distancing themselves from you when, in reality, they've sudden and very demanding obligations. There's no reason for concern. By Shelley von Strunckel
Waste no time justifying what your intuition tells you to those who insist all such matters are nonsense, as many do. Should they challenge you, smile and say no more. However, when those who have sincere questions want more information, tell them what you can. It could change their life. By Shelley von Strunckel
