Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the Space Between podcast.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and medium, and here we explore life, death, consciousness, and what it all means.

Today I have Ali Norell on the show. Allie was born in Maidstone, Kent,

in the southeast of England. She holds a degree in English and European literature from the University

of Warwick and speaks Italian, French, and German. Although she has loved to write since childhood, Allie came

relatively late to authorship and her debut book, The Truth Inside. It is a memoir following the

death of her youngest daughter, Romy, in July 2014. Allie believed strongly in the power of intuition and the direction our lives take when we

follow these instincts and often explores these themes in her work.

She lives in Brighton with her husband, three children, and two cats.

And today I'm excited to welcome you, Allie, to the show.

Thank you so much, Amy. It's my pleasure. Thank you for having me.

So the thing that you don't mention in this is that you're also a medium, which is what makes

this book, I think, really unique. And I loved the book. It was real. It was raw. It was honest.

And I think as a medium and a healer, it showed that even with a very, very powerful belief

system about what happens when we die, there's so much human process you have to go through

when you lose someone you love, particularly, I think,

a child.

Sure.

So can you tell us, normally I just jump into questions and if people want to hear the story,

they can buy your book, which I strongly recommend.

But can you tell us kind of briefly your story?

Sure.
