Sarah and Jane try (and mostly fail) not to fangirl as they welcome psychic medium, author, and self-described Britney Spears devotee Travis Holp to the show. Travis shares his story of growing up gay and intuitive in Ohio, the grandmother who told him "I see you and it's okay," and how coming out as a medium was a breeze compared to coming out as a gay teenager. Hint: his family's response was basically, "Yeah, that makes sense." From there, the conversation goes deep. Travis explains why he opens every live show by saying he doesn't carry the burden of proof, and tells the story of a grieving widower whose test question was answered word for word the moment Travis stopped trying so hard. Jane shares a strikingly similar moment with a longtime client, and the three explore what it really means to get out of your own way. Travis also gets honest about the unrealistic expectation that mediums be 100 percent accurate, why your self-worth can't hinge on a great reading or a bad one, and the difference between having intuitive awareness and working as a professional medium. He talks about boundaries, burnout, and the surprising discovery that sitting with joy has been harder for him than sitting with pain. Travis, Sarah, and Jane all share that they don't drink, and they reflect on how learning to receive in everyday life strengthens the connection with Spirit. Plus: the Ouija board question, the art of finding the "vibrationally accurate" word, a lunch with Laura Lynne Jackson, and Travis's upcoming Forever Family Foundation event in October. Key Takeaways You don't carry the burden of proof. A medium's job is to share what they receive clearly and ethically, not to convince anyone.Pressure blocks the signal. The clearest evidence often arrives the moment you hand the responsibility back to Spirit and stop forcing it.Tools like the Ouija board aren't inherently dangerous. Intention is what shapes the experience, so be clear about what you're asking for.Intuitive awareness is natural for everyone, but working professionally takes more. Training matters most in ethics, delivery, boundaries, and holding space for people in deep grief.You don't have to help everyone. Knowing when to refer someone to a licensed professional is a sign of integrity, not failure.Your worth as a reader isn't measured by any single session. Growth, integrity, and commitment to the work are what make you good at it.Learning to receive in life, including compliments, love, and joy, can make you a clearer receiver for Spirit.Mediumship is an art of language. When you don't have the exact word, a metaphor or story can carry the message. Quotes "I don't carry the burden of proof. My job is to share what I'm receiving. If it connects with you, wonderful." "The only thing I own in this world is my energy. And I don't even think I own it, I just manage it." "It wasn't feeling difficult emotions that's been difficult for me. It's been feeling joy." "Your worth and talent is not weighted on a great reading or a not so great reading. It's your commitment to your growth, your integrity, and your ability that actually makes you great." "Having psychic awareness is not the same as being a psychic or a medium. Somebody can give great advice. It does not make them a therapist." "Even Adele has a vocal coach." "Mariah Carey doesn't hit the high notes every time, and she is arguably one of the best vocalists of our time." "Mediumship is an art of language. It's not always what you're sharing, it's how you share it."
