Julie Ryan has built a practice around a premise that challenges the boundaries of conventional medicine: that human intuition, in her view, can access information about health and healing that standard diagnostics cannot. As a self-described medical intuitive, psychic, and energy healer, Ryan has worked with a wide range of clients and developed a framework she calls the twelve phases of transition, which she uses to discuss what she believes happens at the end of life and beyond. When Julie Ryan sat down with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the conversation offered an extended look at how she thinks, works, and engages with the questions most people quietly wonder about.
The episode covers medical intuition, past-life scanning, spirit communication, near-death experiences, and the afterlife — all presented through the lens of Ryan's practice and her own accounts. These are her views and her framework, offered with the confidence of someone who has spent decades in this work; they are not medical claims and should not be taken as such.
About Julie Ryan
Julie Ryan is the author of Angelic Attendants, a book exploring what she describes as the spiritual dimensions of the dying process. She hosts her own YouTube channel and has built an international following through her work as a self-described psychic and medical intuitive, offering what she characterizes as intuitive readings and energy healing sessions for clients.
Ryan approaches her work with a blend of matter-of-fact practicality and genuine warmth, presenting experiences — including what she describes as communication with spirits and past-life scans — as accessible rather than exotic. Her framing is that intuitive abilities are not rare gifts but natural human capacities that can be developed, a perspective she brings directly into her conversation with Sean Kelly.

Why This Conversation Matters
Julie Ryan's episode is a generous exploration of a worldview that a large number of people privately wonder about and rarely get to hear discussed with this level of specificity. Whatever one makes of her claims — which are hers alone, presented as her practice and experience — her conversation with Sean Kelly is curious, compassionate, and genuinely unlike most of what appears in the podcast space.
