About event
Are You There, Spirit? It’s Me, Travis (Spiegel & Grau) brings transformational life lessons from a psychic medium affectionately known as the “Internet’s gay uncle,” culled from his own life and from thousands of client readings — to help you become the fullest possible version of yourself.
For Travis Holp, growing up in Ohio in a conservative family challenged his very understanding of himself. As a child playing with a Ouija board with his grandmother, he received messages that felt as natural to him as breathing, and yet he quickly learned to keep his understanding to himself. He was shunned by his family for being gay and spent difficult years searching for his purpose and belief in himself. When, on a lark, he began doing tarot readings on TikTok, he soon became aware that the lessons from Spirit were just as relevant for him as they were for the friends and clients he was reading for. And when his social media following exploded and he embraced his role as a medium, his life became meaningful in ways he never expected.
In Are You There, Spirit? It’s Me, Travis, Holp shares the lessons he has learned through both his own life experiences and the conversations he has conducted for clients with loved ones on the other side. Through stories and exercises, he opens us up to a new and expansive way of understanding our place in the world, helping us embrace our authenticity, overcome fear, welcome change, and live with real purpose. And on every page, as he leads us toward self-discovery and profound healing, his sparkling personality, optimism, and warmth remind us that we are all loved, and that a meaningful life is one filled with joy.
Holp will be joined in conversation by former actor and current life coach Randy Spelling.
