I still had to work on myself to achieve results—especially my fears and my relationships. I went to various healers to heal my insecurities and anger. I needed to release these heavy emotions and become lighter. My gifts became stronger as I healed myself. One day, during my morning meditation, I was writing down the information that was coming to me. I wrote that I would be working with celebrities like Demi Moore. My husband came up to me and looked over my shoulder to read the list of celebrity names I’d written, and he said, “that is the biggest bunch of ego bullshit I have ever read.” I said, “I know, I know!” I crumpled up the paper and threw it into a corner. Two weeks later, I got a phone call from a friend who said he’d given my name to a friend of his, Demi Moore. Demi has worked with a lot of different healers, and her belief and support in me took me to the next level. She’s the only person I talk about, because she has publicly supported me.
Stephanie: Many of the Second Act stories featured on MORE.com and in the magazine are prompted by a loss, a serious health problem, or a tragedy similar to what you experienced. Why do you think this is?
Peggy: After a tragedy, people often experience a painful, terrifying “dark night of the soul.” No one can help you get through it except a higher power. Even if it’s a business loss, we experience a death of the life we knew, and this cracks us open. It takes us to a place we’ve never gone before, where we give birth to a desire to be seen in a new way and to make every moment count. We start to look outside of ourselves for a way to work for our community, and live in more joyful space. We learn to start to live in the moment. When you live in the moment a space is created where healing can begin.
