Kelly sits down with world-renowned psychic medium John Edward to talk about his new book, Chasing Evil—a gripping look at where psychic ability meets criminal investigation. Before diving into the story, Kelly and John explore the foundations of psychic work—how intuitive gifts show up for all of us, why the topic sparks such strong reactions, and what it means to practice with ethics and responsibility. They also discuss John’s surprising collaboration with the FBI, the transformation of skeptics into believers, and the moments that proved intuition can reveal what logic can’t. The conversation closes with reflections on spirituality, hardship, and letting go—why “letting go” doesn’t mean failure and how we can find meaning in life’s darker chapters.
