If you're emailing back and forth to someone so very emails me and says it was better. four o'clock on a Friday saying, why would you have a psychic on the sci-fi channel? And I go back and forth saying, well, because it's an interesting topic. People are into psychics and there is a huge interest. And he sends me back an email. I get that. I accept that.

But if psychics are real, why would they be on science fiction? And if psychics aren't real, why the hell are you in business with this guy anyway? So this goes back and forth and back and forth, probably every few hours till Sunday, probably late in the day, maybe even the evening. And I finally came up with the answer and I was able to write back and I said, Barry,

You cannot prove a psychic is real or not real. It's all in the eye of the beholder. So it doesn't matter whether you believe them or I believe them. It's out there in the ether and it's somewhere between fact and fiction. Let's call it friction, which is why it should be on sci fi. He wrote that. OK, your idea wins. Go.

So it was always having some kind of argument that made sense, that had a form of logic. And if it was logical and smart, he would let you do anything. If I didn't come up with that last piece, I'm not sure I would have gotten it on the air.

I don't know if there's one piece or just so many pieces of advice that I give people based on who they are. For me, advice is individualized. It's people coming to me with what they need at that stage of their life or their career that I then help them navigate through their situation.

For example, I get constantly the question from so many people, particularly women, but everybody, it's how can I have it all? And my answer to them, there's no such thing as having it all. What we have in life is choices, and it's having the agency of those choices. So don't let somebody else's all define who you are, because my all and then your all

are going to be totally different so you have to figure out what you need and want out of life and then even once you isolate that you have to choose it can change over different decades or different times of your life but you do have to figure out what your all is for you at that moment in time and then move forward and know that everybody feels out of balance at some point and so will you and that's okay

I think that the only way to be happy and get through life is to maintain a sense of humility, not arrogance, no matter who you are, what you do, what you've achieved. And that humility and that kindness goes a long way and actually contributes to your own happiness, but also to success because people want to work with you.

The first one is there's no such word as can't. If you can't do something, you're simply not trying hard enough. That is something my father said to me when I was very, very young, when I couldn't do mathematics and math problems. And it's something that has stayed with me for life.

And the reason I think I've succeeded at life, because I don't believe there's any obstacle that you can't get around if you try hard enough. The second is the only thing in life that's constant is change. Change comes at you at any stage, at any wage and at any age, and you've got to embrace it in order to move forward in life.
