Podcast Host
Like to welcome to the show Annette Bricka. How you doing that?
Annette Bricka
Hi, how are you? Thanks for having me.
Podcast Host
Thank you so much for coming on the show. I'm, I'm excited to talk to you about your incredible mystical journeys that you've had in your life. So my first question before we get go down that rabbit hole of the near death experience you had. What was your life like before the near death experience?
Annette Bricka
So my near death experience happened when I was about 7 or 8 years old. So I was, my parents were divorced. I lived with my mom, my brother, my sister. And I would, you know, say that it was typical of in the 70s what a divorce family would have felt like. But I knew that I was psychic even at a really early age. But I didn't really care. I mean, I knew things that would happen. I would see my family members when they were going to pass over, I would see their faces melting. And a few people in my family and people I knew that were much older were psychics. I was familiar with it, but I was just a kid. I didn't really care about that necessarily. So when the near death experience happened at a very young age, I mean, I knew right away what it was. But at seven years old, it completely changed my life because Even now I'm 57 years old. And when I think 50 years ago that this happened, once it happens, it can never not happen. You don't ever not remember it? I don't. You know, it's just like it happened yesterday even now. So it kind of set me up for living a life of really, of gratitude, of feeling grateful and thankful even as a really young kid and that there was a bigger picture of everything. So that the way that my life ended up evolving, there were a lot of really scary, terrifying things that happened. But I think that the near death experience happened so that I did get a big picture feeling at seven years old. So, you know, at that moment I wasn't, I knew it was profound. It did change the way I thought about things. But I did until about I was 10 and then 12 is when I really understood why it happened. But it was it's transformative. You know, I've said to a couple people in the past that whether or not people have had near death experiences, it's like one of the greatest gifts you could ever have. I mean, I feel bad that people have to die for a period of time to have it, but, but having it, and especially at a young age, changes everything that you think it changes how you feel about the world because you know that there's more than this. I guess that that's the meaning, you know, that there is a higher being. So even if you're religious, even if, you know, I was Catholic, going to church, and I knew about God, but I was seven, I didn't really care about God, but I, I got it. I got that there was a big picture. And I remember after the near death experience, like telling my family members about it and they, you know, they were in their 50s and 90s and 70s and they're like, wait, what happened? And it's, and it, it's just a, a life changing, game changer event.
Podcast Host
So when you, you work, when this happened to you, I mean, you're right. It actually gives you a gift of understanding that we're not, this is not it. And that's, that's a question mark that most human beings on the planet have. Like what happens after we die. Yes, but you had, you had the gift of clarity, of truth given to you at a very, very young age.
Next Level Soul Host
So.
Annette Bricka
Right.
Podcast Host
What happened? How did, how did you have your nd?
Annette Bricka
So I was at school. I was in the hot lunch line. It was, you know, big, long line. But it was me and two of my friends and there was a record, a freestanding record player, like on a metal stand, and we were right next to it and we were going to play a game that who could hold their breath the longest? And there was, like I said, three of us. I was going to go last. I told them, I know that I'm going to beat you too. And I did go last. I did beat them because the next thing I knew I was in the nurse's office. So I, so I passed out. I hit, hit my head on the, on the metal stand. I was in the nurse's office, but before I came to, I saw a white light and I saw a tunnel. And kind of like the classic story almost of what you hear about a near death experience, but not a tunnel that was small, like big, but you could, you felt like you knew that you were surrounded by something. So I was in a tunnel and I felt myself like Going towards this white light, but not like I was walking. Like I was being, like, shuffled or scooted forward, like. Like just being pushed forward, but not me walking. And I saw this white light. But. But the thing that I. That's notable and noticeable to say it wasn't just a white light. It was. I could hear music, and it was also white light, but with colors as well. And it was almost like, you know, on 4th of July when you have a sparkler and it's, you know, sizzling and sparkling, like. Like crackling, like, kind of sparkling, too. But you just felt complete love. I mean, and I felt like I was embraced by it. And you felt like an enveloping of love, and you're not afraid and you. I was scooted towards this white light, and I just felt like I was home, you know? And at seven years old, I don't even think. I know what I would even say the definition of home was, but I felt like I was home. And I. And then all of a sudden, I was told that I had to go and that I was being scooted back, but I did not want to go. I wanted to stay. And I. And I also knew that it was not in the same realm. I knew that I wasn't, like, in the consciousness realm. I knew I was in a different realm. And I. And I felt like I knew that I had passed away or that I was pass or. Or about to pass, but I was told that, no, now, this was not your time. And then the next thing I know, I woke up. I was in the nurse's office. She was leaning over me and, you know, just saying what happened. And I didn't tell, like I said, my family members till a day or two later. And then when I realized what that was, and, you know, I realized then. But once I had that conversation, I felt like I went from 7 to, like, 30. Immediately, I felt old. Even though I was still a kid and I was doing kid things, I didn't. I wasn't afraid of anything. I mean, I just. It's. It's really such a gift, you know, that stupid. Holding my breath in the lunch line was one of the best things that's ever happened to me in my whole life. It was really fabulous. And even now when I talk to people and, you know, and like you said, many people, the big question they have is, you know, what is out there? You know, what happens when we pass away? And I try to always, when I do a reading, convey a little bit of that story, because I do feel like it's A game changer, because I can say it with such conviction, because I went through it. So, you know, some. Sometimes they say if a thousand people were to come in the room and they didn't believe it or they questioned me on it, I would. I would be able to tell the story in such a way that would make everybody believe because it. Because it's like it just happened yesterday and it was. It was forever. It altered my life. But I believe that the reason why that happened in hindsight now is because all the things that were going to happen to me so that I was brave enough and courageous enough to get through what I needed to. So I do think it happened for a real particular reason.
Podcast Host
So it was a primer, if you will.
Annette Bricka
Yes.
Next Level Soul Host
For what was coming.
Annette Bricka
For sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Podcast Host
So when you. When you came back, you said it took you a couple days to tell your parents. What did they say as good Catholic parents? I'm a recovering Catholic myself, so.
Annette Bricka
Yeah, me too. I'm a recovering Catholic. Exactly what I say.
Progressive Insurance Promoter
They.
Annette Bricka
I think that they were kind of afraid for me. I think that they thought that it was too much and it was overwhelming, and they didn't want me to be afraid that I had maybe, you know, was about to die. But I wasn't afraid. I. I was the opposite of afraid. I was. And I think that it only took a couple of days to tell them because, you know, I was living with my mom, and my mom was not the stable one. My father was. So I didn't want to tell my mom right away because she was unstable. So I waited a day to talk to my father, who lived out of state, to tell him. And, you know, he. He understood it. He. He. But I think he was afraid that I thought it was too much. I don't think I did a good enough job at the time of explaining. No, no, this was fabulous. It was a great gift. So, you know, he accepted that I went through it, but I think that he was trying to. Trying to make me not afraid, but I wasn't afraid at all. I was the opposite of afraid right now.
Podcast Host
How long did you. Did you keep this hidden to yourself besides your parents for a long time, or did you tell everybody you met?
Annette Bricka
No, I didn't tell everybody that I met because I was really trying to be a normal kid, you know, because here I was not really normal, but I was acting like I was normal. I knew things I shouldn't know, even though I knew a lot of people that were psychic, you know, a lot of my neighbors and the people I dealt with, my friends and their families didn't really know about that or care about that. So I didn't want to. I didn't really want anyone to know that I was psychic. I was, you know. And so now on top of it telling them I had a near death experience, you know, now I'm like an alien almost. So I didn't tell my outside circle, my inner circle, new but not really like my friends and stuff. Not too much later.

And now back to the show.
Podcast Host
When did you decide to come out of the closet publicly?
Annette Bricka
Well, my whole story just a year ago actually.
Podcast Host
Oh really? So, so before then you weren't talking about it?
Annette Bricka
Well, I've been doing readings since I was 12 because once. So I had the near death experience. And then after that my spirit guide came to me in a way that I actually saw my spirit guide in the room with my sister, shared a bedroom. And so my spirit guide came to both of us. And in a way that, I mean, there was no question. I mean, I knew it was my spirit guide. And then after that that I saw a videotape of my life when I was 10 years old of, but I didn't know it was of my life, of a chain of events that were going to happen. So one night I was sleeping and in a state of. So I wasn't really sleeping, my eyes were shut, but I was awake. And I saw a videotape appear of all these different things that would happen to a person in many different stages of their life. So I was 10 at the time. I saw when, when this person was going to be 12, then 20, then than 30, then 50, then even older than I am now. And at the time I didn't see the person's face and I actually didn't even know it was me because I didn't see her face. But because I saw all these milestones of different major things. Like I saw something that would happen when she was 12, then I saw that she would get divorced, then I saw these different things. So I thought it was just a series of events for other people. I thought it was like the same kind of thing that I see about psychic things as other people. But when I turned 12. So one of the things that I did see when I was 10 was that there was a girl that was about 12 years old that she would be abducted. And I saw that there was a period of three days that she would be kidnapped and then she would, you know, be taken from her home and that a lot of awful things would happen. And that I saw that it's like almost like watching a movie where you're, where you're rooting for the main character. You want them to get out of a scary situation. So when I was seeing it, I mean, I saw this little girl, like terrified, like scared to death. And I could see what they were doing to this girl. And it was really her, like, horrific. And I was trying to cheer her along and I was trying to like, give her hope, like, tell her, you're going to get okay, you're going to be okay, you're going to get out, you know, somehow you're going to make it. And I was, you know, like in real time, like, you know, because one of the things I tell people is that time is an illusion. And even that seems like so confusing and so broad, but it, it was me cheering this 12 year old on in real time saying, okay, just keep your wits about you, you know, stay above water because you're gonna, you gotta get out of this. So it ends up that two years later, that was me. I was abducted from my bedroom from two strangers. They kidnapped me in the middle of the night. It was over a three day period. And they put me in a car. They had duct tape in my eyes, to my mouth and I went in. So it ends up that it was four miles away from my home. The next day when my mother realized that I wasn't home, she called the police and the FBI. And back then, it was 1979, as a child, as minor. They didn't tell your name on tv. They, so they showed like my face, but they blanked it out. They didn't say my name. And so they had said that, you know, here's this missing girl. And, and the, the FBI was at my mom's house. So that happened for a three day period. So when this was happening, I was like laying on a crack mattress. And so I was, I had duct tape on my mouth and my eyes. And there was a Christian radio station on in this room, this, this bedroom that I was stuck in with these two guys. But they were having parties and they would have this music on loud. But there was a Christian radio station on it. At one point it kept saying, if you believe in God, you know, ask God for whatever you need. God is here, God will listen. And here I am. I'm, you know, I'm being, you know, beaten, raped, drugged. And at this time, I didn't even know how long I had been there. I, it ended up that I was there for three days. But at that time I didn't know. I had no concept at the time. And I thought, okay, if there's a God, yeah, God, I could use you. You know, if you're here, I need you right now. And so I got brave and I took the duct tape off my eyes and I saw that there was a window in the room and that the, the, and it was in September and that the window was up and that the shears were like billowy. So I knew that the window was up and I saw that there was a phone right next to the mattress that it was on. So I hurried up, I picked up the phone and I called my mom and the FBI got on the phone and they said, listen, you've been gone for a few days. Tell us, you know, look out the window, try to describe your surroundings. And so I did. But then I heard these, you know, bad guys come back up the stairs. So I heard, hung up the phone, put my tape back on my eyes. And then like about an hour later, whenever whatever happened, happened, they went back downstairs. I thought, I got to myself out of this. They're going to kill me if I don't, you know. And then I realized that, you know, I was that girl that I saw two years ago. I was that girl. And even though, you know, sometimes when I tell people now, they're like, well, okay, so you got kidnapped and you didn't realize that you were that girl when you were 10? I said, well, yeah, it's easy now to remember, but I had seen so many things. And you don't. You're not. You're connecting all of it. And I realized then that I was going to get away because I was going to get away, not because the FBI was going to charge through the door and save me. I had to save myself. So I hurry up, I got dressed, I jumped out of a second story window and I broke my foot. But I hobbled over to the next door neighbor. And I remember like it happened yesterday. I mean, there was a young guy who was like in his 30s. He was lying underneath his Corvette working on it, so I can only see his legs. And I thought, oh, you know, I hope I can get his attention. So we, I said, I guess I was crying. And he came out from underneath the car and he said, oh, are you the girl that's been on tv? And I said, yes. And we hurried up and we went into his house and he called 911 and the police and the FBI came. And so it ends up that they were caught. They did go to trial. Six months later, they were both sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison each. They served 26 years in prison. But at the time when I was getting ready for my trial, the FBI agents that were in my house, so there were two FBI agents on the case. And they said to me, when I explained that I kind of knew that this was going to happen. And that's why I had the nerve to jump out of the second story window. And they're like, well, what do you mean? How did you know? And I kind of told them and they said, listen, we actually have a couple other cases, like missing person cases we're working on. Can, can you help us? And at that point, I had never done anything Psychically, I just knew things, but I never, like, gave anybody information. I said, well, I think I can, but I don't know how. And they said, well, you know, we need help, so whatever you can do will be helpful. So then I said, all right, well, let's. Let's try it. And so they gave me a little bit of information. And. And at the moment, I don't think we all thought that I would start solving cases necessarily. We just thought, well, we'll see what happens. We'll see if I could help. And I actually, in that six month time, solved two cases for the FBI. So here I was preparing for my own trial, and then I was solving two cases for them. And that's just kind of how it evolved. And so from that point on, then six months later, they got, you know, they went to jail, to prison, both of them. And so about a year Later, I was 13 years old. So then I went and moved in with my father, and I said to him, listen, I need to know why this happened. Because even though, you know, I got away and they went to prison and, you know, everything's kind of okay, why would they pick me? You know? And so my father showed me two New York Times articles. One, one of the kidnappers had escaped from a prison in Schenectady, New York, seven months prior and drove to where I was living in Michigan, and to come and kidnap me in particular. So it was. It wasn't random. It was a setup. He was coming to get me. And so I said to my father what he. He escaped from prison. Because I didn't know that at the time of the trial when I was, you know, testifying. I didn't have to back then. I didn't have to be in the courtroom with them. So I got to testify. They were not in the courtroom then when they testified, I didn't have to be in there. So when my father told me a year later that, you know, one of them was an expat escaped convict from prison, and I. Then I got really, really afraid. I thought you got. Because thinking it was random was less scary than knowing that somebody escaped from prison and drove all this way for seven months and came and got me. And, you know, and I was really, really terrified. So then here I was, trying to live a normal kid life. I was 13, 14, 15 years old. I was, you know, a cheerleader. I was doing, you know, book reports, whatever normal kids do. But then I was. The FBI were contacting me and asking me to help them solve cases on the side I wasn't getting paid for it. Then the local police, I was doing that for them as well. And even one of my best friends in high school, I remember I went over to her house one day. We were just hanging out. And her father, who was like the local police detective, who I didn't know was my girlfriend's father. When we both saw each other in the kitchen, we had to act like we didn't know each other because I was helping him on local cases. But I didn't know that that was his daughters. So we, you know, had. Because nobody knew that I was doing that except the people that knew. So when I graduated from high school, I thought, all right, I don't really want this life. You know, here I was like solving all these cases. I was a psychic. But I didn't really want to do that. So I moved to California because I thought, I'm going to reinvent myself. I'm going to just, I don't know. So do something else.
Podcast Host
So before we go to California, I want to go back for a second. A couple questions. One, why did that man. Why did that man escape and go after you? What was the purpose?

Annette Bricka
So this actually nobody knows except okay, you know a few people that know. So this is the first time I'm sharing this with you. Yeah, I, and I appreciate you because I mean there's, and this is even why I came out with my story a year ago because of all the chain events that I'm about to tell you. So okay, it ends up that my mom, once my mom and dad got divorced and like I said, my mom was the unstable one. We were living with my mom, me, my brother and my sister and we had, I'm from Chicago, my mom had a few boyfriends so we went from Chicago. When they got divorced, we moved to Arizona and then we ended up moving to Michigan.
Progressive Insurance Promoter
Michigan.
Annette Bricka
This is where it happened to me. In Michigan. My mom had a string of boyfriends and she had drug and alcohol problems. But one night her and her boyfriend were in a bar and they were drunk or high or both or whatever and they made a five dollar bet with, with one of the other kidnappers that if they lost the bet that they could come and my mom would leave the back door open and he could kidnap me. So he contacted so for and my mom lost the five dollar bet. So she, she and he told her that one of his buddies had escaped from prison. He was on the way to Michigan. And so it ends up. So this happened over Labor Day weekend on the Friday night that this happened to me. So I was going into seventh grade that night. I wanted to spend the night at my best friend's house who lived next door to me. And that was like a. And my mom really didn't care where I was at, you know. So that night I said, you know, this is like my last hurrah before seventh grade. Can I spend the night at so and so's house that night? And she said no. And not only only did she say no, she made me, my brother and my sister go to bed like really early, like at 8 o' clock at night. Which is again not typical of her. That night my sister went to go shut the back door when my mom forced the three of us to go to bed at 8:00 clock at night. And my, my sister saw that the screen door and the, and the lock on the door Were, like, broken. So my sister went to my mom and said, I can't lock the back door because it's broken. My mom's like, don't worry about it. My sister Barb said, no, we have to worry about it. What do you mean? And my mom's like, no, no, no, don't worry about it. So that's why it happened, because my mom made this bet and. Wow.
Podcast Host
Okay, that's. That's a whole other. That's a whole other rabbit hole. Okay, so my next question is, you said that you saw a videotape of your life or something equivalent to a videotape of your life. When and how did you see that?
Annette Bricka
So when I. So my near death experience happened when I was seven. And again, it gave me this feeling of. And at that point I just thought, okay, I'm a psychic kid. I'm, like, a little bit weird. I didn't really want that. And then I had the near death experience. And at that moment, I just thought, well, maybe this is what happens to kids that are psychic, that you have, like, this near death experience so you have a bigger idea of the world. So at that moment, that's what I thought. That's what. What it was. And. And I did feel good about that. Then at a couple of years later is when my spirit guide came into the bedroom with me and my sister. My. So my sister and I were sharing a bedroom. We had twin beds. And my sister was in the middle of the night and she started crying and she. I woke up and she pointed to the door and in the way, like, the whole size of the door frame was like a silhouette or like a 3D figure or like a hologram of what looked like almost like a figure of like, Abraham Lincoln. And when I say Abraham Lincoln, it was because he wore a really big, tall hat. And at that time, you know, I was like, maybe 9 years old. That's what I thought. And so I didn't know what this was. I didn't know this was my spirit guide. My sister was really afraid, and she was crying, and I said, just put the covers over your head. Don't look. I could not, not look. So I kept looking, and I wasn't afraid. I knew that this being was there for me and not for my sister. My sister was just unfortunately there. And so I kept looking at this being. And then the next thing I know, I woke up the next morning and my sister and I were getting ready for school, and she was really upset, didn't want to go to school. And I said to her, do you remember? Because I didn't. At that point, I didn't know if I was dreaming. I said, hey, Barb, do you remember? She goes, yes, I remember. Do you? And then when we compare notes. And then I went to people that I knew in my family that were psychic and other psychics, and I said, you know, this being came. And they said, oh, that's your spirit guide. And I said, oh my, now what? What do I do? And so they said, well, he's going to help you. They said, name him. So I named him David because, you know, I didn't name him something spiritual because I was a kid. So I named him David. And they said, well, he's here to help you when you need help. But I didn't want to help that, you know, I still did, was. Didn't want people to know I was psychic. So I said to David, who kept showing up, listen, don't stop doing that. I'll let you know when I want to know something. You just, just, you know, quit doing this to me. And I said, and by the way, could you quit, stop making my family members face melts, because that's not helping either. I want to just ride my bike. I want to do normal things. So we kind of had this deal that when I wanted to know something, he would like, put a message in my head or I would put a message in his head, like saying, can you help me out? A year later is when, when I was sleeping, I saw this videotape of again, this person's life. But again, I didn't know it was me and I didn't know it was one person of all these things that were transpired. So when I ended up jumping out of the window, I realized then the near death experience helped me because it helped me know that there is a bigger picture. There's not just me making all these decisions, there is a higher being helping me. Higher consciousness. And you know, back then, I mean, you know, 45 years ago, because this is the 45th year of it happening, 45 years ago, I didn't think of higher consciousness. I didn't even know what higher consciousness meant. But I knew enough to know that there was a big picture. So I knew that the near death experience happened to set me up so that when my spirit guide showed up, I wouldn't be so freaked out and that I could say, you know, hey, don't. Don't show up unless if I need you. And then to prepare me for the kidnapping and the rape that I went through. Because now what I realize, you know, I tell people all the time I would never, even though I was psychic, I would never have done this professionally for sure. I mean, there's no question. I mean, I don't even know even sometimes I don't want to do it now, but I didn't have a choice. And I. And I always. I realize now that I had to go through the events that I went through because I had to go through really difficult things to understand how. How lucky we are to be alive. And, and. And even though you can go through really terr. Horrible, terrible things, you can get through those. And I believe that we're here for two reasons. One is our. Our human life that we're supposed to go through to get through obstacles and. And experiences to learn for ourselves. Perf we can master that. If we can, then we go to what we call our sole purpose life, which is us living at a higher vibration, where we are experiencing love and joy as much as we can to the degree, you know, for the rest of our journey. And I believe that that is about helping other people. So when I moved to California after high school, again thinking I was going to, you know, get out of this area, I didn't want people in Chicago because I had moved back with my father at that time to know who I was. And then actually the opposite happened. You know, I thought I was going to be genius and reinvent myself. But then I started hanging out with celebrities. They knew who I was, and so here I was. I did the opposite of what I wanted to do. I was more in the limelight. I was not only doing readings for, like, really big shots, you know, I mean, Even people now, 40 years later, that I've been doing since I was a kid, I mean, really well known, very famous people. And then I was hanging out with them. And back then there wasn't a lot of remote reading. So I would, you know, I was in my 20s hanging out with these celebrities and producers and movie stars and athletes and. And then I start. I did that for about four years. And then I got afraid. I thought, you know what? I didn't. I didn't really have a reference to when these guys would get out of jail, but I knew that they would. And it started to terrify me that here I am, like, you know, who do I think I am now? I'm in California hanging out with, like, celebrities, so it would be easy for these bad guys to find out who I was. And I knew. And again, because it wasn't Random. I thought, when they get out of jail, they're going to come back for me. They're not, you know, this is not going to be one and done. So after about four years, I moved to New York, and I thought, okay, now I am going to do the opposite. I'm not. I'll be psychic. And I said to the universe, in my spirit, I said, listen, if you want me to do readings, I'll do them, but I'm. I'm not advertising. I'm not gonna. Nobody's gonna know who I am, and you better send me to people, to me, because I. Nobody's gonna know anything that I do. And so that's what happened. People would. Would come to me. They were referred, and I would, like, give them the third degree. I would say, well, who referred you? And they'd say, oh, my cousin Tommy. I'd say, who's Tommy? You know, And I. I was really. If you didn't tell me exactly who referred to, I would refuse to do the reading. And so that's how it just built. And so from the age of 12 until, you know, all these years later, I had this huge clientele, and I would do all these readings for all these people, and not just celebrities and wealthy people, but, I mean, everyday, average people. But it gave me a life of gratitude because I felt that I was helping a tremendous amount of people. But I was also, the entire time, always helping the police and the FBI with missing children, because I always felt obligated to do that because of my own situation. I remember being in that situation, like, praying that somebody would save me and, you know, not thinking that that would happen. And to a point where I thought, you know, they're going to kill me. You know, that's it. There's. I'm not going to get out of this. And so now, you know, even though helping with missing children is really a hard thing to do and not something that I love doing, I never turn it down because I want to always help whenever I can. So at this point a year ago, I had an opportunity to be on somebody's podcast. And so I have, throughout my career, had many opportunities to be on it. I was on TV a few times. I was. Did many radio shows. And I, at the time, throughout my career, I wasn't even doing it to promote myself. I was, you know, I would have a client that would say, let's say, have a radio show and ask me to be on it. And I would say, all right, I'll do it. But I wouldn't really even give my contact information.

And now back to the show.
Annette Bricka
And so the reason why I agreed to do this podcast a year ago is because I found out that that so one of the kidnappers is on death row. When they got out of prison after 26 years, he reoffended and murdered girls and raped them. And he's on death row. The other one that escaped from prison did reoffend. He went back to prison several times. But I found out that a year ago he was going to be off parole for life. I found out he also lives 30 minutes from where I live in New Jersey. So I live in New Jersey. But I, but so you know, the thing is, is that when all this happened, what is supposed to happen is the courts are supposed to notify you as a minor when something to this degree happens when somebody gets out of prison for your own safety. But because my parents were divor divorce and then I moved with my father, I guess I fell through the cracks. And then I became an adult. So I was never notified that, you know, they had gotten out of prison. So even though I knew that it would happen one day, I was, I didn't know a timeline because they were sentenced from to 30 to 60 years. I didn't know what was happening. And so when I randomly found out a year ago from my attorney, by the way, on something else, she said, you know, I, you know, she knew my maiden name and she said, you know, I'm, it's, it appears that there's this person on parole. And I was terrified and I said, she goes, is that you? And I said, yeah. And, and she said, you know, he lives not too far away from you. And he was also trying to sue the state of New York because once you are a sex offender to that degree with minors and you get out of prison, you are forever banned from the Internet. So you couldn't have Facebook. And by the way, I, I never had Facebook in my life either because I never wanted them to find me. So I was the only person on this planet. Even now I'm 57, I don't have Facebook and the only person that doesn' Facebook or any social media, I have Instagram a few years ago because my 28 year old daughter, when she moved out, I wanted to see what she was up to. So I, I did a, an Instagram, you know, account. She realized what I was doing and she blocked me. So then I, you know, then that was it. That was my whole thing with social media. So he tried to sue the state of New York to get access to Facebook because he said that was like against his civil rights. He was declined, but my attorney said, I think he's looking for you. So, so I decided I was going to come out and I was going to say what happened because one of the things that I found out is that in that seven months when he escaped from prison, he was doing terrible things to other girls. And in the process of working with the FBI now, and there are seven murders that took place. There's four girls that have been identified. We're trying to identify the other three that we believe that he's associated to. So here I was all these years living like this really private life. Even though I was doing these readings, I didn't really want anyone to know who I was or, you know, how to reach me. But when I realized that a year ago that he was out there and he was trying to find me and he was, you know, had the audacity to try to sue the state of New York to get the access to Facebook, which I don't even have. I thought, you know what? No, I'm not going to be private. I thought, I'm going to tell the world, and I'm going to, you know, put him behind bars. And I. And I want everyone to know. And then something unexpected happened that I didn't. I didn't anticipate. So when I did the podcast first, I got tons of Edible Arrangements and flowers and candy and, you know, wine and from all these clients and people that didn't know my story and didn't know what happened because, you know, here I was, like, for example, going to, you know, a famous musician's party when I was in the 20s, and they would ask me, how are you psychic? You know, what makes you so special? But I never wanted to tell my story. And even though there were a few people in Hollywood that did know my story, they kept it private. So I would just say, well, I just, you know, I don't know. I just know things, but I didn't want them to know. So when it finally came out a year ago, all these clients of mine reached out and, you know, and, you know, they were so gracious and so wonderful. But then I thought, because all these years, when I would do a reading and I would tell people what I would predict, they. I think they thought, you know, well, here you are. You have such a charmed life. You're psychic. You know, what do you know? How do you. You know, you don't really know what it's like to go through difficult things, because I never told people that part of it. And so now I was able to say, listen, not only because when I do a reading, I do a few things. I don't just tell you what I predict. I tell you what I predict. But I also say, it's going to be really hard or really sucky for a while. But this is what. This is the light at the end of the tunnel. This is what you're working towards. You can get through this. And in the past, I think people, you know, because again, they just thought it was like me looking at my crystal ball, predicting it. But when I said, I know what you went through or are going through, because I went through this really terrible thing, it changed my readings because even though I was, you know, famous without being famous, you know, I had this clientele and I was making tons of money for 45 years, it was like a new level of respect. And I. And I had. And it. And it, what, it did change things because then people felt different about me. They felt like the message that I was giving them wasn't just a hopeful one that, but one from, you know, a point of view that I understand the struggle, like a human struggle, what it's like going through.
Podcast Host
And Annette, I have to ask you this question. Why, with all your abilities and all your, your understanding of why things are in the world, the way the world works and everything, why do you believe this happened to you in this life? Is this something that you and I say this very. I'm asking this question for a very specific reason because so many people go, go, poor me, poor me, poor me. It's a great question and I want, I want you to tell them.
Annette Bricka
Yeah, so, okay, so this is my 57 year old self right now. You and I, me 57, going to give you this grand answer. And I have known from the age of 13 when I. So after the trial, my dad said that your mom is the one that did the five dollar bet. That's why it happened. The guy escaped from prison and this wasn't random. I'm like, holy, you know, because that's a whole different level of all this bad stuff. I realized from 13 to now that it had to happen and it was going to happen. But what I did realize was that I designed this. So I believe what happens is when, before we incarnate, before we're here and we're, you know, when I was my spiritual self on the other side, you know, hanging out with my other spiritual self buddies, I said, listen, I'm going to go back in, I'm going to go back in, I'm going to go be human again. And they're like, oh, you're crazy. Why would you do that? I'm like, well, you know what? I need to learn. Learn for my soul's perfection. And I believe what happens is like when you go to high school and you pick your classes and you know, sometimes you put, give yourself really difficult classes and even your guidance counselor may say that's too much. You're putting too much on your plate. So here I was, my spiritual self, knowing that I had to learn from my soul's perfection. And I believe that I chose it. And that's why I believe we all do. I don't think that anything is random. I think that we choose, you know, because again, you know, we're brave when we're spiritual. You know, before we come back in, I'm like, oh, I got this. I can handle this, this without Knowing that I. I chose this. So it is not for me. It is for me. You know, I think when I. I'm on the other side again, I'm going to have a talk with, like, I'm going to be a Karen and talk to the manager and be like, you should have let me do that. That was too much. But I do realize that we all do choose what we are going to go through for our soul's perfection. And the goal, I believe, is to. To go through it, to learn from it, to master our human life so we can get to the spiritual side of it. So that's why I, you know, I was able to embrace doing readings, and I just wanted to be safe while I was doing it, but I know that I was the one that did it, which sounds crazy.
Podcast Host
Yeah. No, listen, crazy is relative in this. In this show.
Annette Bricka
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Podcast Host
Yeah, many people think I'm crazy. So it's a very. It's a very relative in this show, without question. Well, before we continue, I want to thank you for sharing your story with us and. Yeah. And saying so publicly this, because it. I feel it's going to help a lot of people listening, help them heal, and also let them process things that happen to them, because like I said there. I don't think there's a soul that comes down here, maybe with a few exceptions of a couple of avatars, but other than that, that doesn't escape without any negative things or any trials or tribulations or any struggles, because that's why we're here. It's the point.
Annette Bricka
That's the whole reason. Right. And I actually believe that, you know, I don't want to say that I'm this brave warrior because, you know, I mean, it is horrific what I went through even now. I mean, I'm triggered all the time. Like I said, you know, you know, this is the 45th year of when it happened to me. And so I think about all these things that have happened in my life and all these opportunities I've had and all these people I know. But I mean, I. But I also am just like a normal person, you know, here I do readings all day long from my home, and I mean, even my neighbor doesn't even think I have a job. Like, make sarcastic remarks to me when I get the mail, and he's like, you know, women in 2024 work. And I'm like, okay. And I said to my husband, I don't think he thinks that I have a job. And here I'M like solving, you know, cases for the police and the, you know, the FBI and, and, you know, and all these like high level things I'm doing. And he thinks I'm like, you know, day drinking and, and watching Netflix all day.
Podcast Host
Yeah, well, I mean, but Annette, But Annette, who does? What does he really think? No, I mean, listen, when people, I do, I'm like, I talk to people on YouTube.
Annette Bricka
It's insane, right?
Podcast Host
It's insane.
Annette Bricka
Unless of, you know. Yeah. And I have, you know, I have an annual party every year with about 200 people. And even a couple years ago, so there's a couple cops on my street and one of the cops is like, what do you do for a living? And he, I go, well, what do you think I do? And he says, well, a lot of people come in and out of your house. So I said to my husband, he probably thinks I'm either a prostitute or a drug dealer. I go, I'm a psychic. And he goes, okay. I would never have guessed that. But, you know, I'm glad to hear, you know, that was what you were doing. But so now everybody knows. I mean, you know, before I was in advertising, but it was for my own safety because I had a young daughter at the time and I wanted to have a normal life and I was really afraid, you know, I mean, I can't even emphasize that enough. I mean, right now, I mean. And I'm still not, not afraid, by the way. I am afraid. But I. I'm not. I'm. I feel like I'm going to take over my story because I now have a new. So an article is going to come out in the New York Times as a follow up to what happened that he is off parole and he lives down the street me.

And now back to the show.
Annette Bricka
There is a.
Podcast Host
Down the street. Down the street or 30 minutes?
Annette Bricka
Yeah, 30 minutes. But to me, it's down the street, you know, so he's 30 minutes away. So there's going to be a documentary that comes out, and there's also an opportunity for a TV show that's going to come out based on me and a few other psychics. And at the time when this. This opportunity came, I said, I don't want to do that. I mean, I can take selfies. I don't want to be on a reality show. And they came to me and I kept. At first, one of my clients of many years said, you know, this. This big shot wants to do this show about you. And I said, I'm not interested. And I wouldn't even take the zoom calls. I would just not even go on. And he's like, what are you doing? And I'm like, oh, I. Because I. I didn't want that. But then when I realized this gives me a platform to do what I want to do as far as my story, because that's the reason. It's not for my. It's not for more readings, because I don't need more readings. I don't need more people. But it's because I want people to know when you go through really terrible things, we are the ones that design it. We did it for a reason. But if you're brave enough to get through it and understand that you have to learn for your soul's perfection, there's really fabulous things waiting for you. Because every day I can tell you that I live with such gratitude. I feel like every day I won the lottery and sometimes I have really difficult days. I was working on a missing child case last week, and I found the child, but the child was not alive. And that. That most of the time is the case that they're not alive. So it's not always a happy story, but it gives the family closure, and it gives them peace, because we all want to be found, and we all want to be, you know, put to rest and. And giving closure. So I realized that is what I was here for. I realize now, in hindsight, why I then, you know, when I made up my. My classes for this lifetime, why I had to go through all this. And I'm grateful for it, even though it sounds crazy, because I had to go through something so terrible to be able to identify and to deal with these thousands of people that I deal with and to help with missing children or to help. Because I don't think we always want to help people. And I don't think I would do it, I don't think, because after you make a certain amount of money, I think I'd be like, all right, you know what? I'm going to go on vacation. I'm going to live it up. I'm going to go shopping. I wouldn't always be answering the calls. I wouldn't always be doing readings. But I want to give people hope, because I remember what it was like not feeling hopeful, not feeling like I could go on. You know, I sometimes give people the analogy of, like, wizard of Oz. Remember when Dorothy was, you know, up in the tornado and the house landed and she, you know, she opened the door and all she saw the munchkins and the different colors and everything was. It wasn't in black and white anymore. And I feel like that's what happened to me once all this happened, it was like I was able to see life differently. Differently than everybody else. And even though, yeah, your life does feel black and white, and it is really difficult, and a lot of bad things happen to us if we can just plow through them and know that we're going to get to the other side and it's okay that we're going through that and. And, you know, be excited about what's happening. I believe that not only does it change us in our experience, but it's a ripple effect to all the people that we deal with. Because if I do a reading for you and I help you and I give you hope, I don't just give you hope, but everybody you deal with now, you're. You act different, you vibrate different. So it is a ripple effect. And I believe that it's. It helps Our. Us at a higher level, our higher consciousness. But I think it helps humanity. So I don't think that I'm so special that I myself, because I tell people all the time, if I lose my car keys, I can't even find them. My husband says, says you can find a body, but you can't find your car keys, you know, or I constantly tell him, call my ph. He's like, can't you just the same way you helped the police last week, find your own phone? You know, I can't sometimes even do that for myself. But I realized the big picture of it, and, and it. It's a miracle. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a great life. It's a great life to have. And I, I'm. I'm happy to be able to share it, to, to help people get through all the hard things they have to get through.
Podcast Host
Now, you. You mentioned that, you know, that sometimes there's a struggle. Struggle, and that we have to plow through it to get to the other side of it. There seems to be a collective struggle that the planet's going through, that humanity is going through and our consciousness is going through. As, as. As a psychic, what do you see as this whole kind of stuff that we're going through and to give people hope and also to give people the truth of what's coming?
Annette Bricka
Well, I think it's good, actually, because think about this. So, so I, I actually, when I did the original. So I've done a couple po now, and like I said years ago, I was on other things, but I then, for, you know, like 30 years, didn't want to be on TV, didn't want to do radio shows. So I was, you know, kind of just doing my own thing. Then a year ago, I did this one podcast, and I, I made a prediction on the podcast that freaked a lot of people out. They were, you know, and even freaked out the person I did the podcast for, you know, you know that everybody was all nervous. I said, listen, you don't have to even look at me, because if you look at the history books, you know, we've always. From the beginning of time, there's always been a lot of heartache for everybody. There's always been wars. There's always been a depress,
Ryan Seacrest
right?
Annette Bricka
There's always disease. You know, this is not a new thing. 2024. And what we're going through is not new. But I believe that we have to go through it because we as. Because I think Two things happen. I think that as we go through our own personal struggles and we raise our consciousness to a higher level of consciousness and we, and we do plow through it and we do master our human life. So it doesn't mean that we never have struggles, but we can get through that. Then we can vibrate higher and have the best life we can. Then it's a ripple effect to other people, helps connect to humanity, that then the higher consciousness is more. And I do believe that we do, as time goes on, collectively get to this higher vibrational level. Because Even now, in 2024, I remember 30 years ago, it didn't feel like the, the universe was vibrating high. I mean, I felt like I was, but I didn't know a lot of people that were. I know a lot of people that are because humanities, because we're getting smarter. Like, even with AI, you know, I know know AI is so interesting. You're either you love it or you hate it, depending on how you feel about it. But I say, well, it's just like a microwave. I remember in high school we were like the last one on the block to get a microwave. And I thought, oh, this is kind of crazy. But now when you think of a microwave, that's nothing. Pretty soon, 20 years from now, we'll think AI is nothing, that it's just an evolution the way that it's supposed to go. So I don't think that anything that goes on in the world that is difficult is a bad thing, because that is the other thing that all these experience have given me. I see things as events. I don't think of them as positive or negative. And even though I know and sometimes they use the analogy of like the lottery breaking your leg. I know from a human perspective, if you win the lottery, that feels great, and if you break your leg, that doesn't feel great. But breaking your leg from a spiritual standpoint might be better than winning the lottery. Because usually we, you know, the most change happens when we go through difficult times and we do have a better life. So, you know, it's in, in that moment you think, oh, it was an accident that I broke my leg. But it's not really an accident. You were meant to break your leg. It's an inconvenience. You don't want to break your leg, but you were supposed to. So when wars go on, when there's diseases, when, when all these terrible things happen and, and they are terrible to some degree, I don't think it's like the world is under attack. I just believe it's the way it's supposed to be, because that is the whole point. That is how we learn.
Podcast Host
If you don't mind me asking, what was that prediction that you made in that other show that got everybody all wild up?
Annette Bricka
Well, here we go. So let's get what we can get everyone riled up. It was about the financial, you know, future.
Podcast Host
So I said so before. So before you continue, I want to preface this. We are due economic ups and downs. There's always the. The boom and the bust. We haven't had anything since 2008. We are about a decade overdue for something to happen economically. You could just look out throughout the history. History.
Spinquest Announcer
Every.
Podcast Host
Every eight to ten years, something happens. So without that, I just wanted to preface that for everybody to know. That's not the same.
Annette Bricka
Thank you. Thank you. And so actually, when I did the first podcast, you know, I did it and it was taped, so after it was over, my husband said, how'd it go? And I go, oh, it went so fast, I don't even remember what I said. And so when that part came out and I heard about that prediction, and then, you know, a lot of backlash, my husband said, well, that's barely a prediction, because everybody knows that, because that's just the way life works. You're right. We are due. So what I said that was the controversial part, was not that we would just go through this financial hardship, but I said that the way that we use money, you know, currency, was going to change. And I said on the. At that moment, it wasn't even about bitcoin at that time. And because I think even the person asked me, well, do you mean bitcoin or whatever, Cryptocurrency? And I go, well, kind of, but not even really. Not that. Not like what you would think. I said, so what I believe will happen with our financial money, money, it's going to collapse. So I think the word collapse is what makes people sink. But, you know, you know, but like covet. When Covid happened, even though many people knew that Covid was going to happen and they didn't have a name for it, but they knew because again, like, even like Bill Gates knew from 10 years prior that something like a pandemic was going to happen and was trying to tell everybody that this was going to happen, it happened to us, and it changed the world. I believe that the financial crisis that will happen will change the way that we barter and use money. Money. We will use a different exchange, and it's not good or bad. It's just different. It's just because something will happen that attacks our financial system. So it's not just like we go through a depression or a recession. That's one thing. It's the actual currency that changes. So it would be more like, you know, think about it now. Nowadays I can go out to lunch with my daughter and I can, you know, zell her the money.

And now back to the show.
Annette Bricka
But you know, 30 years from ago, that sound crazy. We couldn't even imagine that that would happen. So we will no longer have dollar bills or euros or that it will be more of a, you know, like a transactional computer wired system, not actual, you know, give me change for my dollar. So I think that what makes people nervous is so I had a lot of people that contacted me that were senior citizens that said I don't even use the computer. I don't have online banking. How am I going to manage I said, listen, I didn't say this to make anybody panic. I just made a prediction that, you know, and you don't. And you could just see what happens. You don't have to even believe what I have to say. But that is just. Just like Covid. Nobody would have believed that we would have all been walking around and masks, that everybody would die.
Podcast Host
That world was shut down for three months.
Annette Bricka
Yeah, right. That we would be sitting in, you know, working from home with our, you know, pajamas on, you know, we. Underwear on the bottom and a, you know, a tie and a sport coat on top, on zoom. Nobody would have ever imagined that happened. But I say to people, think, as awful as it was, it kind of reset the world. Because think about how we. We weren't in the rat race anymore. We got to eat dinner with our family, do puzzles. You know, it felt like 30 years ago to me. So even though a lot of bad things happened, I think a lot of good things came out of COVID And I think the same thing with the financial crisis. So the prediction is more not just that it's a recession or a depression, it's the exchange of the currency, but again, I don't even know that that's so much of a prediction prediction, because I think that anybody, if you really think about it, should know that that's where we're headed anyways.
Podcast Host
Yeah, there's. That. That's. That's not a question. And I've heard about the currency as well. Well, and that also makes sense because of the way we've been inflating our currency and propping it up and, and constantly printing money. And we're our. The US alone is like, what, 30 trillion in the hole or something? Something.
Annette Bricka
I mean, there's a better way to do it. I mean. Right. And I think that we realize that in a few years. Yes.
Podcast Host
So. So let me ask you this. When you said there's a better way of doing it, I've been saying, and. And many of my guests have said that the old systems need to come down. Older systems that are not serving us anymore need to come down to make ready for these new systems. And that's in every avenue of life from religion to economic, to health care, to education, to media, all of it. These older systems need to be brought down so these new systems can come up. Is that what you're seeing as well?
Annette Bricka
Yeah, because think of it, you know, it's almost like you have to make space for the new, so you got to get rid of the old. The old has to break down. Down. Most people are not forward thinking enough or brave enough to, to, to meet things head on there. You know, a lot of people are afraid of change and how it's going to affect them. So it has to almost break down because we're not, we're not even. We're so primal, so primitive actually when I, when you think about it, that, you know, we think we're so smart and such higher beings and higher consciousness, but we're not because when something new, we all freak out. I mean, I've had so many AI conversations and I say people, I mean, it's helpful. I mean, I think AI has helped me with several things recently. I thought, oh, this is freaking fantastic. Why would you not want this? So it almost has to come down to a screeching cult. Things have to break down completely till, so that we can evolve. But that's just the natural way of things. And, and it's not a scary thing at all.
Podcast Host
Now what other, what other. Is there anything else that you can tell people in regards to the rest of this year and, and the coming decade, decade that we have, besides economic, that you would like to share with the audience?
Annette Bricka
So, you know, you're a great interviewer because I, I didn't know what we were going to talk about. I was thinking, right, should I say this, this is this. So I'm going to say a few things that. So prior to the assassination attempt with trump, you know, July 13, I'll never forget it, I was, I actually had that weekend off. I was not going to work that weekend. So I was, I said to my husband, let's do what normal people do. Let's go out to dinner. Dinner. And then the next day we were going to go to a movie like a matinee, like two old people. And I said, let's just do normal things. Okay? So I was out to dinner and I had my cell phone on the table, out to dinner. And he's like, why do you have your cell phone? I go, a client's gonna reach me, they're just gonna text me, whatever. My phone started blowing up and I, I answered it and it ended up that there was a high level official connected to this intel on this assassination attempt. But it was the day before and they said to me, me, and he's a client of mine. And this person said to me, you know, do, can you. Where are you? And I said, I'm out to dinner. And they, because they could hear that I wasn't like at home or whatever. And they're like, well, you know, I need to ask you some questions about the President. If you think that's not just like, hey, are you going to meet your boyfriend next week? I said, I'm, I need to like go home and meditate. I said, can I get back to you? And they go, no, no, this is, you know, we have intel on this, we need an answer. I said, all right, well, I'll leave to you dinner, I'll go home, I'll call you back like in an hour. So I went home, I did a meditation and I saw in real time things that were going to unfold. I called them back and it was, you know, many people involved in this and I, and I said what I thought would happen. And I, and they said to me, well, do you believe that it can be stopped? And I said, no, I, no, it won't. I said, but the thing is, and they using the word but not, there's no, no assassination. I said, but. Because the intel that we have is about President is going to die. But I said, Biden. And they said, no, no, it's not Biden. And I said, oh. Because I originally thought when they said, is the President going to be assassinated? And I said, no, no. I said, no, no, no, he's not going to be assassinated. I said, so when they asked me, well, do we, do you believe you could, it could be stopped. I said, not only do I think it cannot be stopped, I said, it's already in motion. I said, it'll happen really soon. And they said, well, how, how soon? I said, well, and I knew it was Trump because it was invited. And at that time Biden was running still. And so I said, what if you looked at his schedule and you looked at whatever he has scheduled for the next couple of weeks, it will be one of these events that are already scheduled. It's not like a future event. So I knew it was going to happen soon. And so I, you know, said the chain of events that I thought that took place. And then the next day I was at the movies, you know, again during the day, and my daughter texted me, my 28 year old daughter and said, Trump just got shot. And I'm like, so I go to the lobby and my phone blew up and the people that contacted me the night before. And so I've been involved in that since that took place. And, and that is not something that I would have wanted to be in because, you know, unlike helping children and doing that, I mean, I, because it's kind of a catch. 22, you know, you help, I help in some, but other people got hurt and other people were killed and it wasn't a. I predicted the presidential elections like since I've a kid, been a kid and I've never been wrong. And so about a year ago, a bunch of people that even when Trump won, I said that Trump was going to win way before he won. And then when he did win, I was on a radio show and you know, that person, you know, made a big deal that I had predicted. I was like one of the only people that predicted that he would win, whatever. So then I predicted he wouldn't win. And so this time around I kept saying that I don't believe that Trump will win. But I said, but Biden's not going to win either. And at the time people can. So what do you mean? And I go, well, I don't know what I mean. I don't even know. I just know it's not either one of them. And I have a lot of clients now, like, you know, high level politicians that, who asking me for months, who at the time didn't realize. And so when all this stuff with Biden happened, then that's when I realized that's why I was being shown that it would be neither one of them. So, so I can see the election. I see also that for us, so the financial crisis that will take place. So I believe that in the next two years, like crazy people are going to go towards spirituality like your neighbor, your best friend, people who don't talk about it much, all of a sudden become spiritual beings. They, they kind of get the big picture. Because I do believe that there's a shift with the world that makes us all. Like when I was a kid and I had this near death experience, then I had my spirit guide, then I saw that video of my life and I got the big. I feel like we all just kind of start to get it within the next two years. And I don't think that's accidentally happening. I think collectively humanity is about to march in a different direction. So all of a sudden we get to this level with again, doesn't matter who you are or what age you are, you just feel spiritual and you kind of understand, you kind of get this. That changes us as a whole and that changes our species and our race. Because I do believe that there are major changes with. When you think about it, you know, we were, we were cavemen. And then, you know, we've evolved over all the year these years. And I think that there's a major evolution that's taking place now. But it can't just be like it is now. It can't just be you and I living the way we are. So I think that everybody has to get on board. And I do think that part of what Covid was, which is, I know sounds terrible and I lost a lot of people in Covid. So I don't want to say this lightly, but I think that it was a reboot. I think that it was, you know, the universe saying in a very big way way, we need to reset. We need, you know, things are not going the right way or this is a rat race. Everyone's, you know, not thinking correctly because not only did a lot of people pass away and that was terrible, but it changed the way we thought. It changed the way we process life and the way that we, we interacted with one another. And so I believe that when we go towards this idea of spirituality, whatever your beliefs are, it is because our, our consciousness, consciousness raises and we, we become smarter because one of the things also that, you know, during my teenage years, so again, I wasn't just like a normal teenager.

And now back to the show.
Annette Bricka
There was a period of time that I felt like I, I knew really like what, what a UFO would be or what an alien would be. But I didn't really care about it. I wasn't studying it. I wasn't trying to know. And I Just would know. I would just have this feeling like I knew. And then there was a period of about several months where I would actually like, no, I would, I would just have a thought and I would go to bed and it would feel like I was having a dream of like an experience like being on a UFO or with aliens. And then a couple months later I realized like, okay, these are not experiences like I'm, I'm having where I'm dreaming. I'm actually, actually, you know, I think I'm sleeping, but I'm actually experiencing this because I knew it just like that near death experience. I knew that it was, it was real, but I wasn't telling everybody because it felt foreign. It was again so many years ago. Not a lot of people were open to it. And even now I don't tell many people about it. But one of the things that is notable about that is I remember being like around these aliens. Let's say that we're so high tech, we're so like vibrating very, very high and vibrating to a point where like it was like. So when I vibrate high I tell people that I can see a color but also is music which is also a language. So it's not just like a vibration. It's like everything mixed together. These aliens were all those things back when I even knew what that was. And we were so, you know, we're so primitive. I feel like we become more like they are that we, we that. But we have to have a high conscious get to. Yeah, we evolve to that level. So that's why in two years that'll happen.
Podcast Host
So what I'm hearing is also from different channelers and other psychics that have been on the show is that we're going to have a major encounter in the next two years with, with beings from, you know. And I don't want to put the tinfoil hat on. I, I try to keep this house as ground. I try to keep this show as grounded as it can be. But the facts are that there's probably some life out there. There's just, just by logic, by numbers.
Annette Bricka
Yes, yes, yes.
Podcast Host
So is it possible?
Progressive Insurance Promoter
Sure.
Podcast Host
And I keep hearing it from a multiple things, but when I hear it's not going to be Independence Day or aliens like, you know, like movie predator or something like that, it's going to be something that's going to help evolve and lift, lift us to a, to a higher and higher place. That's. That, that's very, very fascinating. I appreciate you giving me all that insight in regards to the political stuff. So you're saying that you're predicting that Harris is going to win at this point because they're the only two in there.
Annette Bricka
Yes.
Progressive Insurance Promoter
Okay.
Annette Bricka
And now, and by the way, for everybody listening or watching, I. That's not even who I want to necessarily, and not who I don't want to. So I'm not making, you know, it's not what I want.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm personal.
Annette Bricka
My prediction. Yes, exactly.
Podcast Host
So what, so, so what I heard as well is that if either of them win, there's going to be some sort of chaos, there's going to be some sort of upheaval, there's going to be some sort of something that happens. So if Harris wins, you know, are we going to have another January 6th? Are we, is there some other stuff that's going to bubble up because of that?
Annette Bricka
Yeah. So, so I'm going. So I'm going to tell you like I would say tell other people, because sometimes, you know, when I do a reading, because it's not always unicorns and rainbows and when I do a reading, it's not all happy things and they're not, oh, I get cursed out a lot. People, you know, are not always happy and then they eventually call me back or come back and apologize because things came true. But, you know, it's not all great. So I even hate to say that I do feel like something like that will happen because then people say, well, then you're putting it in everyone's mind. Well, that's nonsense. You know, I mean, but I do believe something like that will happen because I do feel like there's such unrest in this world that. Think about it, yes, it matters who wins a presidential election for, for anybody in any country. And, and those things do matter. But, but if we all take our own personal responsibility and know that we all have a choice in this, we can all, you know, go and vote. We can all fight for what we believe is right because like, even when I was a 12 year old girl, I could have died or I could have been, you know, brave and jumped out of that window and just did what I had to do. So sometimes we do have to do the hard things to make our lives better. So if you really have strong convictions and you believe that, that so and so should be the president, or you want laws to be changed, well, then fight for those things to happen. But I do believe that there will be a, a big part of the world of this country that are not going to like the results. And I do believe that they will retaliate. And I, and I don't think that's the great thing to do, you know, and I don't want to, you know, make that prediction. And again, people are going to say, oh, you put that in their minds. But that's crazy because I'm not. Because, you know, because people know right from wrong. But I do believe that that will happen.
Podcast Host
Yeah, interesting.
Annette Bricka
And I think it's terrible. You know, it's terrible that that will.
Ryan Seacrest
But.
Podcast Host
No, of course, but we've gone through it before and it's again, not, it's not as much of a prediction as this is a logical stance on something like that. Because you're looking at it. I mean, you're not talking about like, you know, I believe that the moon is going to crash into the Earth in a year and a half. Like, it's something that's so it. You saying that goes. That makes sense. It happened already. It literally h. It literally happened already.
Annette Bricka
Yes, yes.
Podcast Host
So, yes, only logic would dictate that there would be some sort of response regarding that. You know, so, and, and like you said before, I think some of these things might need to happen in order for us to wake up to like, you know, these wars that are happening around, around the world and things like, you have to go, no, that's not what we want to be be, and that's not what we want to be. Is there, is there an event that's going to, you say in the next two years we're going to wake up? And I agree with you. I think this decade is a very pivotal decade and there's going to be many more things coming in in the decades to come. But this decade specifically since 2020, we came in hot. We came in very hot. There hasn't been a decade like this in my lifetime, nor in yours. I think that so much has. Has transpired already and we still have, you know, f. Six years left.
Annette Bricka
I will tell you this. So I believe in. So this is 2024, and I'm 57 now, so I can't do the quick math in my head. But when I, I believe around 2050 and now when I was a kid and again, I think it was like 13 or 14, 2050, I saw that year. And that seemed like, you know, really far off. I mean, now it even seems far off now. But, you know, 40 years ago was even really far off. 2050 is going to be the biggest game changer because see these little things that we're talking about now, like the financial thing that's going to happen with the change of currency, presidential election, you know, again, kind of the same thing. No big deal. These are minor steps. But in 2050, I think there's a total reset. I think what happens is that we are vibrating at a very high level. I do not believe, believe that we are living like human beings. Like we live now. Like we're getting in our car. I feel like it is very space age. Very much so. And I don't think, because when you think about 10 years ago, well, you're, you know, you might be driving a nicer car than you were 10 years ago, but you still were driving a car. You weren't, you know, you weren't in, you know, you weren't hovering over something, you know, like the Jetsons. You weren't doing that. So it wasn't that big of a deal. But I think in 2050, everything changes. And I think, think that human beings look different. I think that medicine is different. I don't think that you have to take medicine anymore. I believe that you will be healed by light, like colored light. I believe that you don't. Like even years ago, you can't imagine having anything done laparoscopically. You would have to be invasively cut. And now lots of things are, you know, laparoscopic. I don't believe even that will happen. I believe it'll be like light therapy that will change. So in the year of 2050, I think is the biggest reset that, you know, some of us will be alive for. But I think that the world is completely different because in the last few decades it's been the same. We just became more, you know, we have cell phones and microwaves.
Podcast Host
Yeah, but, but it, but it seems that the speed of everything is growing so much more exponentially from when 2000. I mean, I, I had a website in 1997. I had a biz, I went online business in 97, 98.
Annette Bricka
Wow.
Podcast Host
And from that I know exactly right. And I was one of those, the first people on YouTube in 2005, 2006. So I. From that time to where we are right now, that's 20, 25 years at this point. It is night and day from where we were, but every year that's gone by, I mean, AI showed up a year ago, a year and a half ago. Really, really. In, in, in the zeitgeist. You know, when chat GPT hit, I still remember like people going, oh, what's the this AI thing? And oh, what's this thing? It was this, it was the exact same Thing that happened in 96 when I was in college going, what's this Internet thing? Where do I get that AOL floppy disk so I can log into flop? And it was that thing. Oh, what's this new, this new streaming. What's this net Netflix, what's it called? Like it's, I remember all of this and now it's just like oh yeah, of course now it's, it's so it's moving exponentially faster.
Annette Bricka
Right, right.
Podcast Host
You know we have rockets that land themselves. You know, we're taking tourists up into space for very expensive tours, but tourists nevertheless, you know.
Annette Bricka
So pretty soon that'll be nothing. That'll be like going to Central Park.

And now back to the show.
Podcast Host
Yeah, you and I will jump on it just like going on a plane.
Annette Bricka
Yeah. Not around tomorrow. I'm going to the moon. Yeah. See you next Thursday.
Podcast Host
Yeah, and that's, that's what we were promised by the way when we were growing up. This space age flying car stuff. I'm still waiting but it hasn't come up as a caught up.
Annette Bricka
Right, right, right, right.
Podcast Host
But that's all very fascinating and, and also that these be this everything you're talking about. There is hope for all of this. It's, and I've been saying this for, to people for a while. It's going to be bumpy. It's, it's going to be challenging. But we will be better on the other side of this. We are getting to a place where hopefully by 20, 20, 20, 100, our species and our, our consciousness is raising to a much, much, much, much, much higher level.
Annette Bricka
I believe it will. And I think, and I, and again, you know, knowing that I don't think one event is better than the other, I think there are two different, different experiences. And I, and again, you know, I, I, I can say this from my own life because I've had a horrific, really horrific, I've had really great things, but really, really terrible horrific things. So they have to happen. Good and bad have to happen or what we perceive to be good at bad so that you can value things so things have a meaning, they have a purpose, they're, they're worth fighting for. Because I mean, I have such a fabulous life. And I mean again, I do, you know, I do tons of work with missing children and it's really sad and terrible and a lot of evil people. But every day I feel grateful. I feel thankful for my life. I feel thankful for my neighbor who, you know, says smart ass things to me out at the mailbox who doesn't think I have a job. You know, I think that's funny. You know, I think, you know, because it's not just the big major things in life. It's, it's every little detail of your life and that, because it's the totality of everything that makes us have a great life and know the meaning of it. And I tell people it doesn't matter if you're going through a challenging time because you're not always going to and you should actually be glad that you are because now something's going to change. There is change on the other side for you and that, you know, it was just going to be better and bigger. And I, and I do feel like we are supposed to help each other. And I do believe that that's why I do this work. But I do believe that humanity has to change. And you think about it now, you know, I mean, when my daughter was in elementary school and I was doing readings and when I was in California, I was known for like being a famous medium. And I didn't even want to be a medium actually at all. It kind of scared me. And for some I was really known for that. And so my daughter went to school, elementary school, and said that my mother talks to dead people. And the school called me and I had to go to school and talk to them. And they, you know, and they said, well, what do you do? And I said, well, actually, I, you know, she's right. And they thought it was great, but, you know, now in 2024, nobody even thinks it's a big deal. But back then, it was a big deal.
Podcast Host
Oh, it was a huge deal.
Annette Bricka
Oh, I mean, they, they, you know, I, I thought child protection services was going to get involved and, you know, she was going to have to go to special counseling, and so would I. And, and, you know, but now, you know, everybody that, you know, you know, vibrates higher and they believe in higher consciousness, but not to the degree that we're going to. So I think that I'm really excited about two years from now. You know, I don't think. I don't care about the election. You know, I do care for personal reasons about certain things, but I know that those little things just get us to that bigger picture of the two years, because that's when I feel like humanity really does change on a grand, grand scale. And I think it's an exciting time to be around.
Podcast Host
Is there going to be a catalyst for that change or is it just going to happen?
Annette Bricka
There will. There will be a catalyst. And
Podcast Host
so everybody. So everyone watching and listening when she's pausing, and I'm just gonna. And please correct me if I'm wrong, you're hearing the answers coming in from the other side and you're pausing.
Annette Bricka
And I'm also trying to work, word it, to not make, you know, the average person freak out or collapse with panic, because I never want to do that. And again, I don't think that that's what it's going to be. So I believe that there's a few things that happen. We do have the financial crisis that, again, is not, in the long run, we're better off. But a lot of people don't meet it like that. So there'll be a lot of panic. There will be something similar to Covid, but different, that makes us panic, and there will be more beings. And again, this is where, you know, a lot of people that know what I do for a living. You know, I am a medium and. And I am a psychic, but I don't talk about aliens often and hardly ever. But I believe that there's going to be a lot of. I don't want to say alien invasion, because that sounds, you know, not great.
Podcast Host
Very Hollywood.
Annette Bricka
Yeah, right. But I do believe, you know, kind of the idea that. That regular people will have interactions with aliens or. Or higher beings from other galaxies, that there's no question it happened. Not just like you know, oh, I think it might have happened. They're like, no, no, no, Last Tuesday at 3 o' clock, this happened, you know, and people from all across the world, because I think that that invasion, which again, it's not a scary thing, it's not an invasion, but that like, we need beings that are higher than us to kind of, you know, remind us that you guys are still not where you need to be. We're light years, no pun intended, ahead of you guys. So I do believe that you're going to hear a lot more of that. And I do think that people, kind of mainstream people try to steer away from that idea of like what we think an alien is because it seems so foreign. And even myself, I mean, I even imagining a month from now when, you know, my neighbor who's going to get the mail is going to see me, he's going to be like, what is going to happen with these aliens or all these other people that are going to say this? But it should just kind of be, I don't want to say obvious, but it feels really obvious to me that that would be the next step. And I think that is the catalyst that part.
Podcast Host
And I, I have a dream that one day people in the future will look back on this show, show as an, an oddity that they're like, they really needed to talk about this kind of stuff about frequency vibration and like it's, it's just so rudimentary. It's a, it's the equivalent of you and I looking back in, in 2000, you know, 2000 years ago and going. Don't you guys get that? That's not. No. And that's, do you not hear what Jesus is saying? I mean, he has, he's got some good ideas here, guys. Like, what's going on? Why not? Like it would that kind of, I, I, somewhere there'll be a computer and some kid will log in and go next level. So who is this?
Annette Bricka
Yeah, right.
Podcast Host
Mom, what's a psychic? Aren't we psychic? Everyone's psychic.
Annette Bricka
Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. Because they'll already be at their highest level vibrating high on a regular basis. Not, you know, us getting to that point. I 100% agree. And to me it feels like that just seems like the natural stuff for everybody. But I mean, I think that, you know, the big message is, is that we live our daily life a lot of people in fear because most people, you know, I tell people we are supposed to enjoy the whole thing. We don't just enjoy it. When we get to the point we think we're supposed to get to, but along the way, you know, even during the trials and tribulations, because if you don't enjoy all of it, you know, I mean, sometimes I'll do a reading for a person and a young person, and it'll be a young woman, let's say 30 years old, and I'll, you know, tell her who she's going to marry. And I can't tell you how many times they'll say to me that. That bride to be will say, well, will I be happy? And I said, what? That's what you're hoping for? I said, you know what? You might not be happy. Because if you happy now, you know, just because you get to that point, you. You meet Prince Charming, maybe you won't be happy. Because happiness is a state of mind. It's, it's. It's being in the moment and living your best life. Feeling hopeful, feeling positive, knowing that you can get through all this. It's not that, you know, when you get to this end road that all these great things happen. That's not really the. The idea. And I think that that's kind of what motivates me to do readings. I mean, because I don't know that I would always want to do this. It doesn't always feel great doing it, you know, on a daily basis, giving individual readings day after day after day. But every time I do a reading, I feel joyful, I feel hopeful, because it does change people's lives. Because even though I feel like, all right, I know this. I know this because of everything I've gone through, but that doesn't mean that the person next to me knows it. And, and I do believe that it. It helps everybody and changes your life.
Podcast Host
Now, I'm going to ask you a few questions, ask all of my questions about all my guests. What is your definition of living a fulfilled life?
Annette Bricka
Living a fulfilled life? Well, I feel like I live one now, and I think that it is living in the moment and not being afraid. And when I say not being afraid, I don't mean, like, of the boogeyman, but like, not being afraid of, oh, next week I might not have enough money, or next week I might get cancer, because maybe I will get cancer or maybe I will lose my job. But that's okay. I'm. I can. Those things can happen, and I can be prepared because I'm going to, you know, take it one day at a time. So living a fulfilled life for me is just living for this moment, not freaking out about the future because I'm worried about next Tuesday. Next Tuesday. And I do live a fulfilled life. And I have lived a fulfilled life for a long time. And I, you know, I was a single parent for many, many years and I, you know, didn't always have a lot of money. I mean, I always made a lot of money, but, but I was like hustling. I, I raised my daughter in Long island and we lived in a really great neighborhood, but I was a single parent and I was like, you know, doing reading after reading after reading and it took all the money that I made to raise her. So it wasn't like we were rolling in money. So I've gone through a lot of really difficult things. But even back then when I was, you know, struggling and a single parent and hustling, I felt like my life was fulfilled because I felt like I understood the meaning of life and I understood that that's okay, that I'm going through all that because I still, still can live for this moment. So that's what I believe. Living in the moment is fulfilling.

Next Level Soul Host
And now back to the show.
Podcast Host
Now if you had a chance to go back in time and speak to little Annette, what advice would you give her?
Annette Bricka
Oh, it's gonna make me cry. I would say well done, beautiful.
Podcast Host
How do you define God or source?
Annette Bricka
I think God is us all. I think that we're bits and pieces of God. But you know, humanity is God. So you know, we're all, you know, you and I, and you know, the other billions of people are God. And I believe that when we get to, when we're able to reach our higher consciousness, we're like, oh, I didn't know I was always God. I didn't know I was Jesus. But we are. And I think that that's what it is. I think it's higher consciousness. And I think, you know, one thing I do have to say that feels important is I do feel like time is an illusion. And even that feels confusing to say. Even I'm kind of confused, but I know that. So like I know that my 57 year old self who is talking to my 12 year old self to say jump out of the window. Because even though you talked to the FBI two hours ago and they know that you're missing, missing and you've been on the tv, they're not going to save you. So you have to jump out of the window to get out. You have to save yourself. It's all happening right now. I don't believe there's past, present and future. I believe it's all now, which is so confusing. People are like, what? So that's why I would say to my younger self, well done. Because you know, it brings us all to this full circle moment.
Podcast Host
What is love?
Annette Bricka
I think life is, is all of us interacting so that we can build our higher consciousness. So that as humanity we can work together, we can be one, you know, we can, you know how you feel connected to one person. You meet somebody, you can meet somebody at a party and you just naturally gravitate towards them and you're like, oh my God. It feels like we've known each other forever. I think that that is when we feel like that mostly about everybody and that it's just the big picture of us all coming together. That it's not, you know, I could want a certain president to win and you could want somebody else and I could, you know, have a different career than you do. We can all have differences, but we're vibrating the same way because we're vibrating high because I think, think that when we go through wars or disease or famine or, or kidnappings or whatever, that's us vibrating very low. Our lower consciousness, that's not our higher being. So that's, you know, that's here. We're supposed to be here.
Podcast Host
So the question was, what is love?
Annette Bricka
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I, I think, I think love is, is That I think love is, is. Is everything. I think it's us being collectively together. I think it's a state of being. I feel like it's. It's hopefulness. I feel. Feeling like I feel connected to you. I feel that love is everything. I think that love is the bottom line. That because if love wasn't the basis of the foundation, you wouldn't go forward. You. It almost keeps you going. But it's easy to recognize love when everything's great, when you have enough money, when you're married to the right person, when your kids are great, you know, when life is good. Oh, it's easy to define love. It's really, really hard to define love when you don't know where your next paycheck's coming from. From, or if you are even going to have one. When you have terminal cancer, when your kids are missing, when you. You know, when really awful things are happening. But that is love too, because you have to. You have to go through both to experience both the light and the dark.
Podcast Host
And what is the ultimate purpose of life?
Annette Bricka
I think to. To go through our human existence, our human experience for a soul's perfection, to learn to grow, to become higher beings. Because I feel like when we are no longer here and we are on the other side, which is just right in front of me, you know, vibr of different. It's not happen, you know, 3,000 miles in a cloud somewhere. It's just, you know, somebody passed away, you know, eight inches away from me or a foot away from me, and they're vibrating at a very high speed. So I think that. Ask the question again so I can answer that.
Podcast Host
What is the. What is the ultimate purpose of life?
Annette Bricka
Yeah, I think it's to live our. Our human experience for soul's perfection. To learn to be the highest elevated spiritual being that we can be. So it's like going through school, you know, you go through first grade through 10th grade to learn same thing with this.
Podcast Host
And where can people find out more about you and the amazing work that you're doing in the world?
Annette Bricka
So just like I was not on Facebook and I still am not. I do have a website that I started a year ago, so that. That just started. And that's my name, annettebrica.com and that's. That's how to find me.
Podcast Host
And I will put that link in the show notes and in the description. And Annette, do you have any parting messages for the audio audience?
Annette Bricka
Yeah. You know, I would say to anybody who is watching or listening to not and you know, again, we all feel different about different things. And some things may come across as scary, but that is never my intention because I mean, really, truly living a life of many different things happening to me, I know that there is a greater purpose for all of us. I know that to live a hopeful, joyful life again, despite what's going on is the meaning of life. And that, you know, we can get to the other side and to try to vibrate as high as we can to get through it. And I think that that is, you know, my message for everybody. When I do a reading for anybody, it always is, you know, I do a meditation before I do a reading, and I always say, because I'm always worried it's not going to work. Even though I've done, you know, hundreds of thousands of readings since I was a kid, I still am nervous every time. And I just say, please tell me something that I can help this person. And so I. I just want everyone to know that whatever you get from this today, it's. It's not meant to be scary. It is actually the opposite. That there is, you know, something more for you waiting that you can get through it, that there is a reason to get through it, that, you know, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for sure.
Podcast Host
And that it has been absolutely a pleasure talking to you today. Thank you so much for being so raw and honest and sharing your. Your journey with all of us. I hope it really does help a lot of people watching and I look forward to our next conversation in studio. Studio here.

And I appreciate the opportunity to even have said that because I do think it makes a difference.

Episode: My Psychic Abilities Saved My Life with Annette Bricca
Air Date: July 20, 2026
Guest: Annette Bricca
Main Theme: Trauma, Psychic Gifts, & Spiritual Evolution – How Annette’s psychic abilities and near-death experience shaped her life, helped her survive extreme trauma, and drove her to a lifelong mission of helping others find hope and purpose.
This deeply moving episode explores the life story of Annette Bricca, a psychic medium whose abilities have not only shaped her path but also helped save her life in the midst of profound trauma. Host Alex Ferrari and Annette discuss her childhood near-death experience (NDE), her harrowing abduction, how her psychic gifts emerged, why she stayed quiet for decades, and her perspective on humanity’s challenges and future evolution. Annette offers both personal testimony and wider psychic predictions, grounding her insights in lived experience and spiritual conviction.
“Once it happens, it can never not happen… It changed the way I thought about things.”
(Annette, 03:44)
“I believe that I chose this… when we’re spiritual, on the other side, we’re brave. …That’s how we learn.”
(Annette, 41:45)
“Living a fulfilled life is living in the moment and not being afraid… because happiness is a state of mind, not a destination.” (89:31) “Love is everything… It’s easy to recognize love when everything's great—but that is love too, when things are hard.” (94:17)
Annette shares candidly and warmly, balancing frankness about her trauma with an abiding sense of hope and humor. The tone is empowering and compassionate, never minimizing listeners' struggles, but urging everyone to embrace their own role as “designer” of their journey and the ripple effect they have on the collective.
Alex Ferrari creates a respectful, curious, and grounding environment, inviting deep, sometimes challenging questions while always focusing on how these spiritual insights can serve healing and growth.
Annette’s life story is a testament to survivorship, the universal struggle for meaning, and the power of psychic and spiritual insight to bring hope. She encourages all listeners to “embrace living in the moment, with gratitude, no matter what you’re facing,” and assures that even the darkest times have purpose in our journey toward love, connection, and the perfection of the soul.
