BEING AN INTUITIVE IN A SKEPTICAL WORLD
Confessions of a Closeted Clairvoyant
TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PREPARE TO BE MOVED
BOOK SYNOPSIS
Kim was nine when her mother noticed she could locate lost items through thought alone—and quietly began testing her. As Kim grew, so did her intuition, and like her mother before her, she learned to keep what she knew hidden.
Acceptance of her abilities and of herself came slowly. In college, Kim had a near-death experience when a blood clot traveled to her brain following a routine surgery, bringing her to the brink of death. In its wake, her intuitive abilities intensified, and she began to sense those who had passed—and, at times, connect with those on the threshold between life and death.
By day, Kim built an impressive career in television, spending 23 years tuning in—checking her intuition, reading the energy in the room, and trusting the invisible cues that guided her decisions. Few people knew her secret.
Her search for understanding led her deep into the worlds of energy, clairvoyance, reincarnation, and mediumship—subjects that, time and again, brought her face-to-face with God and the mystery of the afterlife.
Then came a twist she never saw coming: her young son began showing signs of the same abilities. Determined to help him, she sought guidance, studied control techniques, and learned how to “turn down the volume” for them both.
Along the way, she found a community of kindred spirits—teachers, skeptics, and believers—who encouraged her to write and share her story. Today, Kim insists that these experiences aren’t rare or exclusive. "Many people share my traits. And whether you believe or not, chances are something unexplained has already brushed against your life.”
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
In this deeply honest and beautifully rendered memoir, Kim invites readers into the hidden life of an intuitive woman who spent decades learning when to reveal her gifts—and when to keep them concealed. Moving between the spiritual and the everyday, the mystical and the deeply human, she weaves together stories of awakening, doubt, love, grief, and discovery with piercing clarity and unexpected humor.
Michelle Moceri is an Evidential Medium, Healer and Metaphysical teacher.
BIO
Kim grew up as the youngest of seven in a spirited New York household where dinner
conversations could venture into almost any topic. Her siblings—most with their own brand of
sensitivity—dabbled in meditation, reincarnation, and various Eastern philosophies,
unintentionally broadening Kim’s world far beyond the boundaries of her strict Catholic upbringing.
It wasn’t until Kim could no longer hide her gifts that she began to unlock “inside self,” a box deep in her soul where she kept her secrets. That’s when everything began to change.
After living in Manhattan through her 20’s, Kim moved to Los Angeles for an executive role in a production company. She was transferred back to New York two years later but eventually ended up settling on the west side of LA where she now lives with her family. She’s spent time in almost all 50 US states and visited over 25 countries—each journey feeding her fascination with people, cultures, and the stories that live between worlds. Drawn to anything unordinary, Kim finds her greatest joy in exploring what lies just beyond the familiar.
