Disclosure: This reading was offered to me as a media experience. Nobody reviewed or approved this story before publication.
I went into a psychic reading with Allison Carmany expecting to spend a little time getting a feel for what she does and then ask a few questions for Totally The Bomb.
We ended up talking for about an hour.
And here is the part that made the whole thing especially interesting to me: I told her basically nothing.
I read psychically too. I run @elementually on TikTok, where I have an audience of about two million followers, and Allison did not know that about me going into the reading.
In my experience, being read by another psychic can get weird if you start mentally jumping into the reading yourself — reading them back, anticipating where they are going, or trying to help the thing along.
So I tried very hard to stay out of it.
I listened. I answered what I needed to answer. And mostly, I let her work.
She clocked the season of life I am in almost immediately
The thing that got me was how quickly Allison picked up on the fact that I am in a very specific chapter right now.
I am focused on my career. I am focused on my life. I am focused on getting my shit together.
And I am not in a season where I need to be in a relationship.
That sounds simple when I write it down, but it was wild to hear it reflected back to me so quickly when I had not sat there explaining my dating life, my priorities, or the giant internal shift I have been making.
She just went there.
And I was kind of obsessed with it.
Whether someone chooses to call that psychic ability, intuition, pattern recognition, or something else is obviously going to depend on what they believe. I can only tell you what it felt like from my side of the call: she landed on something extremely specific to where I am right now without me feeding her the story first.
And she was incredibly kind about what she saw
The other thing I loved was that the reading was not just, “Here is what I see. Good luck with that.”
Allison was kind.
She offered actual steps that could help me work with what was coming up. She gave me ways to think about the things she was seeing instead of making the reading feel dramatic or fatalistic.
That made the whole experience feel enlightening instead of overwhelming.
I did not leave feeling like some mysterious future had been handed to me. I left feeling like I had spent an hour with someone who saw where I was, understood the chapter I was in, and gave me useful ways to move through it.
Who is Allison Carmany?
Allison describes herself as a psychic medium and spiritual teacher. Her work includes private readings, mediumship development, live events, Soulful Evolution, and AstroReport.
What I liked immediately was that the conversation did not feel stiff or performative. It felt like an actual conversation with a person who happened to be doing a psychic reading at the same time.
Then she emailed me after the reading because something else came to her
After we got off the call, Allison emailed me because another thought had come to her: Walt Disney.
She remembered how much I love Disney and connected it to the idea of Imagineering — not just imagining something, but actually figuring out how to build the thing you imagined.
Her spiritual interpretation of that was basically grounded manifestation: the vision matters, but so do action, skill, persistence, and getting help from other people.
That follow-up was such a good example of what I liked about the whole conversation. It felt thoughtful and personal even after the scheduled reading had ended.
What does a psychic reading actually feel like?
If you have never had one, this was the biggest takeaway for me: it did not feel like sitting across from someone dramatically predicting my future.
It felt much more conversational. There were impressions, questions, personal themes, and moments where the discussion went somewhere I was not expecting.
And because I already understand psychic work from the other side, I was especially interested in what would happen if I did not try to steer anything.
I wanted to see what Allison would pick up when I stayed as quiet and open as I could.
That is what made her immediate read on my career-first, absolutely-not-looking-for-a-relationship phase land so hard for me.
Would I do another reading with Allison?
Absolutely.
In fact, I liked her so much that by the end of our conversation we were already talking about ways she might contribute to Totally The Bomb — and it made me start thinking differently about Elementually, too.
That is probably the most useful review I can give you.
I went in planning to cover a psychic reading.
I came out wanting to find a way to work with the psychic.
A quick reality check
A personal psychic reading is a spiritual experience, not scientific proof of psychic ability. I am not presenting anything that happened in my session as a medical, financial, legal, or factual prediction you should use to make a major life decision.
I am telling you what the experience was like for me.
And for me? It was kind, illuminating, surprisingly specific, and one of those conversations I was genuinely happy I said yes to.
