Teresa does readings for clients, friends, and strangers she would approach in public places.

Her show's format mixed her big, brash, Long Island personality.

Hair tease to the heavens.

Acrylic nails as long as they can be.

Loud family dynamic.

She mixed all of that with emotional psychic readings.

It drew in millions of viewers.

Teresa wasn't like a mystical crystal ball psychic.

She was just an everyday Long Island mom with giant hair, an obnoxious laugh, and a funny family.

This was part reality, part shenanigans, part sitting down with someone who seemed empathetic to your recent loss and simply telling you that everything was going to be okay.

The episodes always delivered a tearful reunion as she would deliver some message from the other side.

Viewers who wanted to believe found that style approachable and relatable.

I've noticed with almost every single Teresa video I've watched and man, have I dug in.

My co-host on the other podcast thinks I'm a little bit obsessed and I might be obsessed and a little bit confused because in all that tape, I never once heard anybody give a message from the other side that was negative.

Maybe that's just the way it is.

Maybe when we die and our spirits are floating around Teresa Caputo and flying in and out of that huge wig of hers,

We got nothing to worry about.

Why be upset?

But the messages are always reassuring.

Everything's going to be all right.
