Transcript:

After I lost my mom,the biggest feeling I had besides like, how am I going to get up tomorrow without her was like, Oh my gosh, all the magical things I’ve ever known in my life, the joyful things, Because I didn’t know anybody else in my life who could quite do it the way that she did.

I think through the sort of early days of grief and then finding out that I was pregnant and going to have my daughter and then having my daughter and grief hitting me again in such a weird way like knowing that my mom would never meet her and you know kind of all of that stuff I realized that I had inherited her magic and that that was the point of it like the point was She was doing it for her memories with us and she was doing it for our memories to later, to later look back on.

But what she was also doing is, is passing it on to me, knowing that it would be my job next, when she wasn’t here one day. And so it was really, again, like an active thing for me in grief to be able to go, Oh, I’m not supposed to just be sitting here sad right now. I’m supposed to be creating magic for my new family.

Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to the angels and awakening podcast. I’m your host and author, Julie Jancius and friends today.

We have none other than Jennifer love Hewitt love the middle name. If I could go back, I think I would include that in my daughter’s name. Just making sure she gets that love all the time. Yes. Jennifer Love Hewitt. If you don’t know is from, I know what you did last summer. Party of Five, Ghost Whisperer, the 9 1 1 TV show, and she just wrote a book that everybody here who listens to this show is just gonna love and adore.

It’s called Inheriting Magic, My Journey Through Grief, Joy, Celebration, and Making Every Day Magical. Jennifer, welcome to the show. Hi, thanks for having me. I’m so glad that you’re here. The book cover for this book is just so adorable. your kiddos, your three beautiful kiddos, and you’ve got Christmas decorations and Halloween decorations.

St. Patty’s Day and Easter, and I don’t know who did the artistry, like the illustration for that, but it’s just

gorgeous.

Thank you so much. So her name is Vanessa, and I found her on Pinterest. We were talking about like what the book cover was going to be, and I had lots of ideas, but I, I had to be magical with the name of the book, and it just kind of had to, I don’t know, I just wanted it to look different than other covers.

And I was scrolling, having my cup of coffee in the morning as moms do, breastfeeding my son. And I was like, Whoa, who is this? And it had all of her art on it. and it led me to her Instagram, so I was looking, so I called, my partner in the book and I was like, listen, we have to find this woman.

And so I DM’d her, and then we got ahold of her manager and I talked to her and told her what the book was about. And I was like, look, moms have to stick together. I need you to do this book cover. And she said, absolutely. and within like a day, she created kind of some ideas of what it might look like.

And we shot it and it was amazing. And it was the first time kind of showing my kids and having them out there. but the book is so much about them and about our lives and dedicated to them that I felt like it was the right time. and she just did a beautiful job.

it’s fantastic. I’m going to talk about another picture later on, but I wanted to find magic because some people like, we’re not podcast.

We keep it Spiritual. but some people still hear the word magic and they think of something witchy or dark. But you really use the word magic interchangeably with joy.

Yeah. Magic to me is joy. , it’s also magic is an active word for me. It’s like actively searching out. ways to just take something that’s ordinary and make it extraordinary.

and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t have to be, over the top. It can be really simple. but it’s kind of a mindset of, if you, Go into like a Thursday with like magic on the brain, joy on the brain. It’s different than other people’s Thursdays. And I think that that’s an important thing to do.

I’m also a realist, so I don’t accomplish that every single day. but the goal is to try to do it as much as possible. especially for my children.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, the book is about finding joy again, after the passing of your mom, who really seems to be like your best friend. Yeah.

Really finding a way to create magic for your kiddos, even though your inner child is really longing for your mom to be right next to you on this journey of motherhood.

Yeah, it’s really interesting. So after I lost my mom, the, and I say this in the book, the biggest feeling I had besides like, how am I going to get up tomorrow without her was like, Oh my gosh, all the magical things I’ve ever known in my life, the joyful things, Because I didn’t know anybody else in my life who could quite do it the way that she did.

I think through the sort of early days of grief and then finding out that I was pregnant and going to have my daughter and then having my daughter and grief hitting me again in such a weird way like knowing that my mom would never meet her and you know kind of all of that stuff I realized that I had inherited her magic and that that was the point of it like the point was She was doing it for her memories with us and she was doing it for our memories to later, to later look back on.

But what she was also doing is, is passing it on to me, knowing that it would be my job next, when she wasn’t here one day. And so it was really, again, like an active thing for me in grief to be able to go, Oh, I’m not supposed to just be sitting here sad right now. I’m supposed to be creating magic for my new family.

I’m supposed to be falling in love with my husband. I’m supposed to be becoming a mom. I’m supposed to be doing all these things because if I just sit here, In all this heaviness. I’m not doing what she wanted. and so it became this thing that really, I think, healed me in such a, such an interesting way.

and so when I was thinking about, you know, like, at the 11 year mark is kind of when I started writing this book or like 10 and a half years, Like how I could honor her. I was like, this is how I can honor her. So I can kind of share this with other people so that maybe other magic makers are made, from reading my experience and can kind of go out and create that in the world.

Absolutely. Absolutely. And there was a point in your book where you talk about your mom having used magic in her own life to kind of get through her divorce. And it seems like hindsight is 2020 where you had this realization like, Oh, She was using magic along the way and just creating this magic, not just for you kids, but even like the neighbors you said on Christmas day one year, she had snow, like brought in into LA and like the snow trucks and she just sat and watched the kids all day playing in the snow, which is adorable.

but that she really used creating magic to feel joy again in times of grief. And yeah, it was

interesting. I was very young when my parents got divorced and I can honestly say that until I was like maybe 18 or 19 years old, I don’t remember ever seeing my mom sad about it or talking about it in a negative way or, you know, ever really talking about, you know, my dad in a negative way.

Like she was just a person who created like a really safe space. And I just knew that was my life. I didn’t have two parents in the house, but I never felt like sad or heartbroken about that. I never really thought anything had gone wrong. Like she just wasn’t that person. She moved forward. I think in joy.

and that joy kind of navigated her through probably, and I’m sure, you know, now I’m, 45. I look back, I’m sure my mom cried a, a lot and had, you know, terrible moments and all that stuff, but that was not what I knew as a kid. and I think that that was really helpful to me, because I think I was able to be a kid, in a divorced family that, my reality was very different than than others.

it was still joyful and magical and fun. And and that was another inspiration for me with the book, is I was like, oh. She’s using that to get her through this time, so I also should use magic and joy and thoughts for others to move me through what I’m going through. and so again, it was like, she was, you know, it was, it was her way, I think, of kind of being here with me and holding my hand going, okay.

Let’s put our big girl panties on and like get through it now. Like we’re not going to sit here sat in this chair, you know, which is very much who my mom was. So, I’m very thankful for that.

Well, and what’s interesting is like on the show, I had an experience where my dad passed. I wasn’t talking to him at the time.

he had started cheating when I was really young and I held a strong moral bounds cause I always seemed to be the one to catch it. and sorry, I know, but we were super close before then. And that soulful connection remained. So he started coming through. I was in this really businessy, professional corporate job.

And so he’s starting to come in from the other side and like, all right, well. I’ve built up my career. Can’t just go leave this as a medium. Like can’t even say medium was raised really religious. but we talk about angel stories because they’re always coming through from the other side. And what really struck me when I was reading your book is like, Your mom is creating magic, even from the other side with the angel stories that you tell in the book.

Like you used to live right across the street from one another. And

I think this is something that comes up for a lot of people after they have a passing of somebody close. Do I stay or do I move? Like, what does it need? And When you moved, you moved to a place that you guys had actually looked at you and mom.

That’s crazy. It was,

no, it was wild. And I do think, like, initially, when I said it was going to move, it was, like, not very long after she had passed, like, within weeks. And I think everyone in my life is like, you’re nuts. You’re in grief. You’re jumping to conclusions. You’re uprooting your whole life. But I had this very strong sense and I do believe now in hindsight that it was my mom speaking to me because I wasn’t one of those people that saw my mom.

I mean, I played the ghost whisperer for God’s sakes. I’m very open to this stuff. And I was like, come on, lady, let’s visit. Like, what are we doing? You know? And I didn’t see her. Feel her. Like I didn’t see her, but I realized now that like in the decisions that I made after her passing, that kind of saved my life.

I was communicating with her. She was with me, she was guiding me and she was with me in the way that I needed, which is, you know, to make hard decisions and to kind of like get myself into a safe place where I could move on with my life and, and realize that I could, you know, kind of live with her. But yeah, so we lived across the street from each other.

And only one time in my twenties, I was like, you know. Maybe I shouldn’t live across the street from my mom. Like maybe I should do something. And we had looked at this place and thought about it for five seconds. And then I chickened out. Cause I was like, no, I really love living across the street from my mom.

And she does my laundry and makes me dinner when I’m tired after ghosting for it, like we hold hands in the morning and I don’t want to move. So I didn’t move. And. When I was looking for places, I completely didn’t even realize that was the place until it hit me when I was there, and it was literally one of the only places in the area that I wanted to be in, because it was far enough from where she and I had lived, but it was in a part of the city that I knew, and I say this in the book, but I got there, and it was like at the very top of this.

It’s like a condo thing. And the woman said, we call this, we call this one, the, the condo in the sky.

And

she was like, and we call it that because it’s the closest to heaven. And I said to her, I was like, my best friend’s in heaven. And she was like, well, you’d be pretty close here. And she just kind of like made it as, and I was, there was no part of me that was like, I literally moving bags.

I’m like, and we’ll take it. I think people thought I was nuts, but. I knew that was where I needed to be. and it’s just really interesting.

It is because it doesn’t just happen one time. Like your book is laced with these angel stories. I love the, this, what I got to tell it, Atticus, your second baby boy, or your second child.

First baby boy. But he and you are like watching TV and you see this clear blue pregnancy commercial and you got to tell this story.

Yeah. So

he was like, Hey, mommy, you should get one of those and pee on a stick like that. What if you have a baby in your belly? And my first thought was how rude, like we just ate dinner in my, like, okay.

So maybe I have a pooch, like whatever. I’ve had two kids, you know? and I didn’t, I didn’t know why he said it. And he like said it a couple more times that evening. And he was like, no, no, no. Like, let’s just check, you know? Okay. And the kids had mentioned before like, oh, it’d be so fun if we had a sibling or whatever.

So I just like never, I felt fine. Like I literally felt nothing with my son, with Atticus, I knew, I was like, oh, I might be pregnant. I should check. You know, I had not no symptoms, like there was no part of me that thought that this was happening anywhere, but it was because of what he said. Then I was like, okay, I’ll check.

And so I secretly checked and didn’t tell anyone in the house. And it was like, pregnant, like real big, real fast. And I was like, and he still says, he was like, I fully sensed it. He was like, I knew it was happening. He’s very sensitive. And all of my kids are, but Atticus is like, he’s very in tuned to things.

like he’ll know just when to like put his arms around me or, you know, whatever. but yeah, it was wild. It was just like one of those things. I was like, Oh my gosh.

Yeah,

here we go.

know, it’s so funny because when I do readings for people, sometimes the spirit will come through and be like, okay, well, we’re bringing you the hummingbirds or we’re bringing you the cardinals or we’re bringing you this.

And then some spirit, some spirits come in and like, Bring you all of them. We bring you all the signs like every sign that we can bring through we’re bringing through and that just feels like so your mom that she brings everything everywhere all the time so that she’s just there that you feel presence.

I really do. I really do. And more than ever, you know, during this book during like the writing process. With my kids. and it was really interesting. My biggest fear. I think the kids is that they wouldn’t know her. and then I wouldn’t be able to tell them like enough stories to for them to like fully understand who she was because my mom was a force that she walked in a room and for whatever reason, like people in the restaurant would want to turn around and look at who had just walked in.

She would be friends with 50 people before we left. Everybody was exchanging. Bye, Pat. You know, and I’m like, how are you? What are you doing? But I didn’t know if I could like get that across to my kids. And it is. It is astounding to me how much they feel her. Like they will come to me and say, Oh, I know Mimi was with me today.

Or that, that hummingbird was there when I fell off the apparatus at school and I looked up and I knew I was fine because Mimi was like, they, I don’t even have to keep her alive for them. Like they feel her. They know her. They know her. And so much of her is in each one of my kids and like such a different way that like my daughter will do things and I’m like, Oh, that was my mom.

Like, that’s so weird. It’s so weird. Um, but it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful.

You get glimpses of her. Cause I kept feeling that as I was reading the book, like, as you look at your daughter, you get glimpses of your mom. I do.

Yeah. It’s like, I see her face on, on my daughter’s face sometimes. Like it’s, it’s beautiful.

It’s very, it’s, it’s really wild. but it’s special. and I, I do think that she’s She’s with them. She’s, I think she’s with all of us, but I think she’s, she’s with them. And, and I love that they feel so connected to her.

So I love how you kind of go through the book and talk about different ways of how you create magic for your kids, but that it doesn’t have to even cost anything.

Like your mom would come over to your house when you lived across the street at 4 AM so that you felt like love and support before you had a long day of work. She just come over and hold your hand. I thought, Oh my gosh, how special.

Yeah, she just wanted me to know that she was there and, you know, I’ve had an extraordinary job my whole life.

and she was there so much like on set when I was a kid, thank God, you know, there to kind of like protect me and look after me. And, and as I got older, I think she just wanted to find new ways, you know, to do that. and yeah, she would just, Come over and do that. Or she’d, you know, make dinner or if I had my heart broken, she’d put up Christmas lights in my room.

for when I got home to just kind of say, you know, there’s joy and it’s okay. and yeah, she was just, she was just thoughtful, but like thoughtful in a way that I can’t even explain. And so I try to, You know, do that with my kids. Like my kids were really, they were just having a rough day the other day.

Like, so they were fighting as siblings and the baby was just kind of grumpy. And I was feeling sort of grumpy. I don’t know if it was like a murky or retrograde thing. I don’t know. Like I said, it’s still coming. And I was like, no, we were all just kind of like grumpy. And I was like, we need a reset. And none of us slept well the night before.

So I went and I got crystals and I got this like cute little cauldron that I have this as magic on it. And I got some herbs out of the cabinet and I like put out a candle and we had a chime and a sound bowl and I was like, everybody come with an intention. Bring your magic to this, like the center of this room and we’re just going to reset.

And we just like called in our angels. We called in my mom. We called in goodness. We would breathe out all the stuff we wanted to let go of and breathe it. And it was amazing. It was like, it costs nothing. It was just stuff in our house. It was silly stuff. They’ve made wands before. So I had to bring their wands and they all pointed the wands around it.

You know, it was just cute. And the baby was like, magic, we’re making magic. And I was like, we are. And it was just a thing, but instantly, like you could feel the room change. And they felt protected and looked after and they didn’t feel judged for the grumps and I didn’t feel judged as a mom for also being cranky and grumpy and we just had this moment and I will tell you, we went to sleep.

We all slept like 13 hours. We slept so good. We felt so calm. And my God, the next morning, the kids were like, We should do that more often. I’m like, we really should. Like, it was great, but it was just about being thoughtful about it and kind of bringing them into it in a fun way that, like, changed the whole dynamic.

And I really believe in that.

Absolutely. Well, you feel energy. That’s what we teach is, , I teach a lot of people how to do this work and how to step into it. And everybody has different strengths. spiritual gifts. , but if you can feel into energy, it is the foundational work to then be able to receive messages and get that information.

The energy feels different. So I’ve taught over 600 people how to kind of tune into their own gifts.

Will

you

teach me?

I actually have that! Your mom had me write down some messages and she had me write down, Julie offered to do a one on one private teaching for her to connect with mom more.

Yes! Please, I would love that! Thank you! Yay! Oh my gosh, of course, of course! one of the things that happens, though, is as you’re teaching people how to feel the energy, people perceive it different ways. So when I’m in people’s energy, I feel it like as heaviness, like you can feel a heavy, dense, thick energy.

Or it feels like very airy and floaty, just like a feather, very soft, light. And, I think that that’s the energy that we’re swimming in every single day as we navigate our lives and talk about like a household of kids and partner and yourself, you have all of these just different. Energy is kind of floating and mixing together and you do, you have to be in tune with those different energies because all it takes is an awareness of it and an intent to bring in that magic, to bring in that joy.

And as soon as you say, I want to shift the energy, the energy begins to shift and it it’s magic. It’s just

amazing. I’ve started doing this thing at night where I I, I saw it like written down somewhere in a book, um, and I started doing this thing at night where I will give away the things that are not mine.

So before I go to bed, I just say out loud, anything that’s not mine, that’s not meant to be for me, like messages that I’ve picked up today or energy that I’ve taken on today that actually doesn’t belong to me. I send it back where it belongs and then I replace it with stuff that’s mine and mine is.

Wanting to feel joy and wanting to feel good when I wake up in the morning and wanting to be productive and open to goodness and abundance and, you know, all those things. And it’s made a real difference because, you know, the world that we live in right now obviously is. It’s chaotic. It’s crazy. And there’s so much energy.

I just feel like in the world at the moment that like, if you’re even the tiniest bit of a sponge, you’re like at the end of the day, vibrating. And so it’s been really helpful to me to do that. It’s like given me an act again, I’m, I’m an active person. So it’s given me like an active thing to do where I feel like I’m, I’m just sending that energy.

That’s not mine somewhere else. It’s just me. and just giving myself a little bit of protection before I go to sleep and it’s made a big difference for me. I really like doing that. So I’ve been teaching my kids to try to do that too. Like when they’re in school or they’re at camp. Like just not to take on other people’s stuff and that it’s okay to send love and light to those people.

But like, don’t carry it, you know, if it’s not yours.

Yeah. I was just thinking about this yesterday. We had on, Daryl Sabara. He was the, uh, Yeah. And, uh, he was saying that he just needs 20 minutes every day to get back into his own energy. And I feel like that’s our soul’s energy or soul’s frequency. It feels like home and when you get into that, it’s just, I don’t want to say like ground zero.

It kind of gets mixed up or different energy, but just like square one, like it’s just, Transcribed by https: otter. Home, your home space of energy feels like heaven. And, from there, then you can kind of take on the day and always get back on vibration. but yeah, like starting the day with getting into your own vibration and ending it just makes me feel more at home while I’m living.

Yeah, same, same. And I think it’s, it’s important because when you’re not in your own, Energy, you’re not in your own journey, right? We only get one. And I think we feel like in order to connect with other people, that we have to take on their stuff. And one thing I’m loving about being in my forties and I wish I had learned it earlier, but we take a long time to learn these things is I’m learning that that actually isn’t the case that like, I can care about people.

And let them have their thing and their energy can be over there and mine can be over here. And it doesn’t mean that I’ve connected with them any less. It just means I choose not to accept that energy into, you know, who I am. Which is hard to do. But I’m trying to get my kids early. I’m trying to teach them early.

This lesson so that they can have a longer period of joy in their life.

Yeah, no, I love it. I like to think about it like, I don’t, I don’t know, I like to call God all that is because it just resonates with me. Yeah. And yet we’re kind of like a droplet in the ocean of all that is. And I was watching this documentary, I think a year or two ago.

And scientists said that there isn’t just one infinity. There’s infinite infinities and spirit. Yeah. Isn’t that like just, yeah. Spirit goes at that moment and every soul is its own infinity. And I was like, Oh, I get it. Infinite souls here together all at the same time. And, I was blessed to get to do a Ted talk this year and, uh, they make you do it just a ton of research and like go through all these interviews.

Oh, that’s so cool. And, um, so as I’m doing this research, I came across this statistic that 90 percent of people pass away with regrets. And the biggest regret is not doing something because they worried about what other people would think. And spirit goes, turn that around. Like 90 percent of people aren’t living.

And if they just focused in on what they want and follow that. It would create a life of miracles and magic and blessings and opportunity, but it takes us being willing to say like, this is what I want. And to your point before kind of allowing each soul to have its own journey and not for them.

Yeah.

That’s so interesting. Yeah. I think about that a lot. I think about like, Not like in a dark way, but I think about a lot like, have I done all that I’ve like really wanted to do? And there’s so much obviously more that I want to do, but I, but I do feel like I have Being in the entertainment industry as, as silly as it is, sometimes it is a brave choice, right?

So like put yourself out there no matter what other people think all the time. And I’ve done that for so long in my life and I’ve gotten so much greatness from it that, that I feel really happy that I’ve done that. but like even, you know, putting out the book and all of that stuff again, it’s like, What are people going to say, you know, are they going to be like, Ooh, magic girl over there, you know, but at the end of the day, like, I just have to do it.

I felt like called to do this book. I felt like I had to put it out. I felt like I had to honor her in that way. I had to do it for my kids. And so here I am, like, I’m doing it and we’re going to see what happens. And, you know, I’ll try to do this with the noise. But, but yeah, I do believe that I do believe that if more people were just like willing and brave enough to just do the things that they wanted to do.

Books. With no worry of the judgment, we’d be happier for sure.

You know, one of the things that I love too, in your book, you talk about, , that your kids came to you, which is just adorable and to do vision boards. That’s

so fun. Yeah, it’s really cute. We do it. , we do it every either New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day , because they see me doing vision boards.

I’m constantly like pasting things, you know, whatever. , and with me, they’ve been really lucky to see that like I, I do manifest things, , in sort of a fun way. My husband, um, Makes fun of me. He’s like, I don’t know how you do things. Like if I wrote something down on a piece of paper and put it on a wall, like it would stay on the wall.

He’s like, I don’t know how it comes off the wall for you. It becomes a thing. And I’m like, cause I believe in it so deeply. So they’ve seen that. And yeah, they like, you know, they, they love to make their little vision boards. They cut out their words. My daughter, it’s very much like, You know, wanting to be, , a strong woman and, , and like find great friends and, , manifest like goodness and hers is like vibes.

And with Atticus, it’s like hot blonde girlfriend.

He would love you. , you know, , learn to be the world’s best boxer, make the baseball team, you know, whatever it is. But it’s great. It’s like, again, it’s active for them and they love it and they check in with their vision boards and we literally just were talking about this two days ago. They were like, Mommy, it’s almost fall time.

They’re like, you know what that means? Got to start thinking about what we want to manifest for 2025. And I was like, yeah, you do. I said, I’m already on it for mine. , but it’s really cute. They like, really, they really believe in it. It’s so cute.

Yes. And, you know, I’ve gotten to the point where, , since I was like 16, 17, I’ve always just, if I see something in a magazine, I have to get it because I want that picture that makes me feel so much energy.

So I’ve got pictures and like collections of just different things that I love for, I’m 42. So for years, and, , I finally got to the point where I was like, I can’t fit this on a board anymore. So last week I took all my pictures and I sorted them and I made a manifestation wall which I’ll send you a picture of if you want to see it.

Please

do! That’s amazing. It’s down

where I work out so that I go down in the morning and I do like my 10 minutes on the rower while I just visualize all of this good stuff.

That’s great. I saw somebody on Pinterest, which I think is genius and I really want to do it who took a an acrylic table and and like put all of their manifestation stuff on and like affirmations on acrylic table and then covered it with an acrylic piece on top and it’s their dining room table.

That’s amazing.

Isn’t that awesome? I want to figure out like who can make that for me and how to do that because I just think that would be so awesome to just take like words, you know, words and maybe some pictures. But like, I started doing this thing, after I finished, inheriting magic, I, Started doing a book for my kids.

And so I take, little prayers that I find,affirmations, like little thoughts on siblings and how you have to depend on each other for your whole life, because you never know when your parents are not going to be, you know, all that kind of stuff. and things that like inspire me in my life that has like taught me how to manifest where we were and I’m making them a book and I’ve been cutting out all of these things and it’s going to be sort of like.

Not their manifestation board, but their manifestation book, and it’s got all of these thoughts and like how to say little prayers and how to do these little things. and so I’ve been making it for them along the way because I was, I felt very, I felt like my mom sent me a very strong message to be like, leave this behind for them.

One day, hopefully not, you know, anytime soon, but like one day so that they’ll have it and they’ll know all the things that you felt and, and, and thought of and wanted and used in your life to kind of do these things. So, I’m like, I don’t know, like, 75 pages and already, and I’ve only been working on it a few months, but I have like, all of these.

These things for them and my daughter’s conscious, she’s like, well, just give it to me now and I’m like, no, you can’t have it. I will give it to you when you go off to college and then when your brothers go off to college, I’ll just send it to them and I’ll be like sisterhood of the traveling pants and you guys can pass it around and learn all the things that you need to learn.

But it’s been really fun to kind of figure out the things that, like, inspire me the most and put them in a book for them, which I think is nice. Yeah,

it’s a vision. I got to tell you when I was reading through the book of, I heard very clearly, you’re going to do a second piece because I have a 13 year old.

 and when they get to be like your daughter’s 10, right?

Yeah.

Okay. So when they get to be that age, I think it’s just. It’s so fun because they understand the world more, you get to show them more. Oh, that’s the other thing. As I was reading through the book, your mom said to tell you, a lot of people say we don’t take anything with us when we go from this world to the next, but she goes, that’s not true.

We take our experiences. We take our memories, we take our connections, we take love and, I could really see you putting together. They’re like a teenage inheriting magic.

Oh

yeah. I

would love that. Yeah. I do think it’s important for that age. Cause they, they tend to stop believing in some of the things that they believed in when they were little and need new things to find, to inspire them.

So yeah, that would be amazing. I would love to do that.

Yeah. So, so fun. one of the things that I wrote down too, which is just a harder thing to talk about, but I think so many people go through this and have a similar story that it’s important to, your mom had cancer,

you felt like you shouldn’t go on this trip to Monaco. You kind of had that intuitive hit internally, but she really begged you to go. So you go you get three text messages as soon as you land. And so often I think that I’m not saying that’s right, but like we think about death from our own perspective of like who we lost and how we feel and just this void that we feel through that grief.

 but when I do my sessions, when loved ones come through from heaven, they really show it from their perspective you know, I don’t know about you, but when I was going through my wedding and actually just giving birth,

I didn’t feel like I had as much control as I wanted. just other people wanted this. So I was like, okay, well let’s do this. And some people wanted to be in the room and I’m like, I don’t really want you seeing my hoo ha, but okay. Okay. Okay. Here we go. but passing and that transition of being on this side and crossing to the next, you really are in full control.

As a soul of that. And I had this moment this summer where we’re at Disney and I was looking at my daughter and you know how, like when they’re babies, you’re like, Oh no, I can’t see the baby in them. I see the toddler. And then you get to that next stage and you’re like, Oh no, I can’t see the, the toddler anymore.

Cause I see the kiddo. And I just glanced at her and I was like. Oh my God, I can’t see the girl. Like I see the woman and it just broke my heart because I thought I only have five more years with you being here and I just can’t imagine it. So I say all of that because I can’t imagine being 105 years old and losing my best friend, you know, as my daughter being hopefully 75 years old and.

I wouldn’t know how to let go of that relationship and I really felt that very strongly as I was reading your book that your mom did not know how to let you go and I don’t know that she could have if you were in the room with her.

I agree with you. Yeah. I agree with you. It took me a long time to get to that.

But I think in the, In those first, so the thing that I don’t necessarily write about in the book, only because I just didn’t need it for everyone, to have, because it was my, my moment. So, when I, when I got on the plane and I knew that I was coming home, I was like, I’m not gonna be able to sleep and something.

Like overtook me on the flight home and I fell into like this a very deep sleep and I woke up in the middle of the fight and I said to my friend who was next to me, I was like, my mom just died and he was like, you don’t know that. And I was like, no, no, I said, I feel it. I was like, I think, I think she’s gone.

Like, it’s really weird. And I just started like sobbing uncontrollably and he took it as. She’s losing hope. And I knew very much in my body that we had disconnected somehow, like that thing that I felt, that like invisible string that we have with our children, and that maybe I didn’t fully even understand at that moment, it had been cut somehow.

And so then when I landed and I like heard the airport in the back of my brother’s phone and I knew I had to get off the plane and, and ultimately that she wasn’t there anymore. I was so angry for such a long time. Like for those first few months, I was so angry. I was just like, I just don’t know. And it was angry at her.

Honestly. I was like, how could you, how could you like, out of all the goodbyes, it should have been us that got to say, you know, we were together every day across the street. Like we were, you know, that, and then one day I realized that it wasn’t about me and I was like, Oh. That’s right. It was her journey.

It was her life and it was her choice and it was her moment to say goodbye and, and I wrote about this very briefly, you know, kind of in the, in the preface of the book where I, I realized we could not have said goodbye. And the truth is, if I’ve been standing there in that room at that hospital bed, looking at a mom that I didn’t know who could no longer create joy in that magic moment, or, you know, look at me the way that we had, you know, You know, like I would not have been able to let her go and I don’t think she would have been able to let me go either.

And so I think that I was sent on that trip ultimately for the goodbye. and for her to be able to end her journey the way that it was supposed to end. and I just had to get out of my own ego. I think, which was also really hard to do, but when I realized that and I was able to kind of sit in that for a moment, I was able to start healing, because I was able to separate from the, like the kid feeling of like, that was my Dubai, like, why, you know, like very much like the toddler reaction of, no, I’m not saying goodbye this way.

And I was able, I think, to kind of step into the adult part of it and go, oh, it wasn’t about me. And then ultimately this is. Probably the only way she and I would have been able to do it and didn’t make it easier or better. It just made it possible to move forward from, I think. Yeah.

So you did play the ghost whisperer for a beautiful show.

 and I know that sometimes people, and especially in the entertainment business, Business like, we’re working on a angel show right now. And, so I, I know like working with producers that are like, let’s go this way. And I’m like, no, no, no, no. I think this is the way that I want to go. They can make it ghosty, but it’s not like, Connecting with your mom.

It’s just love. There’s a moment in the movie Interstellar where Anne Hathaway talks about that that connection of love doesn’t die. It crosses all dimensions and it does and it’s love. How do you still connect with mom?

In the moments I’m with my kids, in truly investing in them.

I mean, again, since having my kids, you know, I, people joke all the time, they’re like, she’s a mom first. And for them, I think it’s like kind of pointing a finger at me being like, why are you, why do you want to be so much of a mom and less of an actress and you know, all of that stuff. But for me, it’s like the greatest compliment in the world.

 so I think in connecting with my kids in making them a priority and in. Always trying to find things a little bit magical, trying to inspire that kind of feeling in people that she, that she gave me, but also in, just, you know, quiet moments. Like, I just know that she’s, I know she’s with me. It’s weird.

I’m a big, like, I connect with her a lot in the middle of the night, for whatever reason. And I’ll just kind of feel her like there, and I’ll sort of look off into space and be like, Okay, I see you like that’s fine. And yeah, rest here at the end of the bed. It’s cool. And it’s kind of nice for me or, you know, I will talk to her.

 I have a picture of her that, that she loved in my closet. and it’s in there cause my mom loved to give me fashion advice and it always drove me crazy. And so now I’m like, now you’re seeing. It’s actually my closet forever. . You have to watch her make all these choices. You don’t like, ha ha ha

And it’s like my joke with her, so she’s, she’s in my closet, like in this beautiful picture. And I will always, my kids go in every night and they go, goodnight Mimi. And they say goodnight to her every night. but I talk to her a lot in there and my husband’s always like, are you going to the closet to talk to your mom?

And I’m like, Hmm, I’ll be down in a little bit. . So we have our moments in there and I know that she can hear me because stuff will shift. Yeah. You know, like either like really strong, direct things will happen or I’ll feel like the energy shift within me. so I know that she’s, you know, I know that she’s kind of there and listening.

 I had a big connection with her writing this book. I really felt like I needed to let go of some more grief and I just was so grateful. stuck. I didn’t know how to do it. and oh man, like the first probably four months of writing this book, I just sobbed all day, every day, like trying to type and trying to write, but I knew that it was her there with me and that we were writing it together.

And I knew there were moments where she was like, well, don’t say that message. Like say this one. And you know, I would go back and be like, okay, you’re right. We got to reword that. That’s coming out weird. So I very much felt like she was with me, during it. But I, but I did have such a funny moment when she passed.

I was like, okay, I’m the ghost whisperer. Where are you? Like make the chair move, do something, you know, I was like, I’m all the people you’re not going to show up for me. that was very funny. Oh my

goodness. Oh my goodness. Well, she is, she’s there all the time. and I can’t wait to do a one on one for you.

Cause I’ll teach you like different stuff. Yeah. but it’s so funny. Isn’t that the truth though, with mamas and daughters? I had this, point where I was at Target one day. My daughter was probably like fourth or fifth grade and I was like, she doesn’t like to try on clothes. Like I could take her friend shopping all day and they would go shopping, but she doesn’t like to shop at all.

She likes me to buy clothes and kind of bring it to her. At least she did. And then she’d try it on and I can return. So I was sitting there at Target and I was holding up two things and I was like, well, I would get this. Like, I love this. And I was like, I would not get this. And so I was like, Oh, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, pick the thing that I wouldn’t get, because that’s the thing that she’s going to love.

So I brought it home. Okay. I’m going around target. I’ll get this. She doesn’t like it. I wouldn’t wear and this. And then she loved it all. And I was like, Oh, that

is so typical.

My daughter will be like, Hey, do you like this one or that one? And I will on purpose pick the one that I don’t like. She’s like, great. Me too. I’m like, of course. Absolutely. Just don’t even ask the question. No. Isn’t it so funny? It’s just who we are. We have to be that way. But now I’m like my mom, like now later in life.

I’m like, Oh, that was ugly. What was I thinking? She was totally right. Oh my

God. Hysterical. but I love that you see mom in the, in the closet and get to spend some time with her. Tell everybody where they can find you, your book. I love your just energy, Jennifer. You’re such a small person and you are creating magic within this world.

My eighth grade, middle school and high school self would just be going off the wall right now. Here with you. Yeah.

Well, yeah, you could pre order the book. Barnes Noble, Amazon, I think Target, all that that you can find links on my Instagrams. I have a holiday junkie Instagram, the holiday junkie, and then I have a Jennifer Love Hewitt Instagram.

 the book will be out December 10. I hope that people will, um, I don’t know, I feel like it’s a book that you read, but then it’s also something you like, put on your shelf, almost like a cookbook, and you go back to it, like, on a day when you’re like, ah, I need magic today, and you can like, go and find a page and let it speak to you.

So hopefully it’s something that people will hold on to. I also think it’s a great gift for friends, to inspire them in magic and to, you know, know a little bit about like, not feeling alone in grief and kind of finding your way out of it, which I think is an important tool. and I made a Christmas movie actually dedicated to my mom.

 it’s my first time making a Christmas movie. My mom loves Christmas movies. I love Christmas movies. for Lifetime. That will be coming out called the holiday junkie, that’ll be coming out, later this year. I don’t know the exact date yet. but look for that and it’s dedicated to my mom and some of the stuff that I talk about in the book, including making snow, for random people isn’t there.

 and all of that and yeah, it’s just, she’s around, she’s having her moment and my mom would have loved that she would have loved to have been front and center and for people to be taking notice of how amazing she is. So she’s having. Quite the end of 2024. She’s very excited on the other side, premier parties and book parties and all kinds of things.

Oh my goodness. Well, you know, I think in life, it’s just so easy to be negative or just like talk negative. And this book is just so positive and uplifting and it’s not just about grief, but I think that you could read it with your kids. Yes. So much as a family. so if your grandma, mom, dad, grandpa get this book, read it with the kids and you’re right.

It’s great to, to do with friends too. Cause I think if you’re another co mama, you know, do some of the

ideas in the book and everybody should get into Moonwater. You’ll know what that is if you read the book, but everybody should do that. And

themed dinners. I love themed dinners. Yeah.

Yeah.
