I am usually prepared for the things that occur in my life, she told me the other day.
That is the gift of precognition.
Whatever you call her, there can be little doubt that her instincts have brought her prominence.

Within weeks, the market had crashed and Days reputation had soared.
Day insists it was no big deal.
My clients expect me to be correct most of the time, she told me.
The depths of insights she brought forward just resonate on such a profound level.
Day told Moore that she would be fine.
Still, Moore hasnt always accepted Days predictions so readily.
Shes very no-nonsense, said Moore.
She doesnt mess about with trying to butter things up or decorate it to be prettier.
And Ive not always liked what she has to say, or even agreed.
Has Day always been right?
Moore paused to consider: I would say, yes.
They offer Zoom Reiki, Zoom crystal meditation, Zoom tarot-card readings.
Most of them, she says, are not as secure as her corporate clients.
Theyre stuck, she told me.
And a lot of them need to change their careers on a dime.
Thats what intuition is good for.
On a recent Friday evening, about 200 people logged on for her workshop.
Now you might find your perfect job.
Now you’ve got the option to mend your relationships.
Now this is the perfect time to use intuition.
Day instructed the students to identify and write down a single, practical question about their lives.
The minute you have a question, you will allow information in, she said.
Now why dont we, in that case, get all of our answers all of the time?
We dont get all of our answers because we repress what it is unbearable for us to see.
Hoping to know when the pandemic will end?
Its a worldwide problem, and it has a lot of pieces, Day said.
When is the economic impact going to be over?
When is the impact on the stock market going to be over?
When is it going to be over in terms of the way we think?
Intuition, she said, can help you figure out the right questions to ask.
Day likes to say that anyone can learn to listen to their intuition and do what she does.
Moore, for her part, told me that she always laughs when she hears Day say that.
Days brain does seem to work in unusual ways, and not always in ways that help her.
I have very, very bad ADD, she said.
Theyre not going to realize that my brain was like this at 11.
Day says her brain was shaped in part by childhood trauma.
Her mother, she says, was bipolar; she committed suicide two days after Days 14th birthday.
I knew I saw things in the future.
I thought everyone did.
A student asked if she could pick a hypothetical boss for a job she wanted.
Absolutely, Day said.
Given the state of the job market, she added, telepathy had never been more useful or important.
And you know, she continued, refine your target.
If its the head of Sony, figure out the persons name.
Having a defined target is really helpful.
Some psychics offer to read minds or drop a line to the dead.
Notice how your perceptions change, Day instructed.
Notice what youre noticing.
I noticed how weary I felt, the aching feeling behind my eyes, a flutter of anxiety.
Later, in our interview, she performed an impromptu reading of me.
Day speaks quickly, in a cascade of long, unfinished sentences.
Does that mean that she can read my mind or see the future?
I have no idea.
But the longer we spoke, the more I hoped so.
Manage your anxiety, she advised me.
Its going to work the second time.
