It all started back in 2018 when I attended a Reiki Level One course. At the time, I had never had a psychic reading, didn't own crystals or oracle cards, had never experienced a Reiki session, and knew absolutely nothing about the spiritual world. Little did I know that signing up for that one course would completely change the direction of my life.

In this episode, I take you through the seven months that followed, when my intuition started turning on and things began happening that I couldn't explain. From practicing Reiki on anyone who would let me, to suddenly knowing names and information, to a dream about a man in a brown hat and checkered shirt that eventually led to a photograph in a shoebox. I share how these experiences started small and gradually grew into something much bigger.

I also talk about how Reiki Level Two and a crystal healing course played a big role in my development, and how all these little experiences eventually led me to realize that I had seemingly become a medium overnight.

If you are currently experiencing your own spiritual awakening, questioning your intuition, or feeling like nobody around you understands what you are going through, this episode is for you. Remember that everyone's journey looks different, there is no timeline you need to follow, and you are not behind!

Pay attention. It's rarely random.

This week on Medium in the Middle, we are talking about five reasons your mediumship practice readings can go wrong, and why having one difficult reading does not mean you are suddenly losing your mediumship abilities.

This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my mentees, who had recently completed six mediumship practice readings. Five of them went really well, and one felt like a complete disaster. So, what happened? How can you have five great readings and then suddenly have one that feels like nothing is working?

The truth is, there are so many factors that can influence a mediumship reading, and not all of them have to do with the medium!

In this episode, I am breaking down five common reasons your practice readings might not go as planned, including the sitter's energy, their expectations, whether they actually want to receive a reading, and how much pressure they might be putting on you without even realizing it.

We also talk about why practice readings are very different from professional readings, and why it is so important to prepare your sitter before you begin. When someone agrees to sit for a practice reading, they are there to help you learn, not to test you! I share some of the things I recommend explaining to your sitter beforehand, including how to provide helpful feedback, why taking notes matters, and how to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable participating.

I also share an example from John Edward about what can happen when a sitter is so focused on hearing from one specific loved one that they overlook information coming through from someone else.

And finally, we are talking about something that does not get discussed enough in mediumship development: being a sitter is not always easy either! Sometimes the information comes through in pieces, and the sitter has to figure out how those pieces fit together. As developing mediums, we want to make that process easier for them, not harder.

If you are currently developing your mediumship abilities and have ever walked away from a practice reading wondering what went wrong, this episode is for you. One challenging reading does not cancel out all the amazing readings you have already done, and learning how to navigate these situations is an important part of your development.

So pay attention. It’s rarely random.

This week on Medium in the Middle, we’re talking about the ways our bodies can try to get our attention, sometimes for a very, very long time.

I’m sharing a story about a client who came in for a session and casually mentioned that she had a weird cough. She apologized for it, but the cough wasn’t even the reason she had booked the session. It was just something she had been living with for so long that it had become normal.

During the session, I became curious about it. I asked her when the cough started, and she didn’t know. I asked her how long she had been dealing with it, and again, she wasn’t really sure. Eventually, she said that maybe it had been around for 30 years.

So, of course, my next question was, “What happened 30 years ago?”

Nothing.

I asked again. What happened 30 years ago?

She got married.

Immediately, I felt like there was something about the cough that was connected to her husband and that relationship. As we continued talking, I learned that they had actually divorced six years earlier, but they were still connected because they owned a business together.

Two months later, she came back for another session. She walked through the door and said, “I’m ready to deal with my cough.”

This time, she was ready to look at what was underneath it, and we were able to explore what the cough represented for her and what her body had been trying to bring to her attention.

This episode is about the alarm bells our bodies can send us and how easy it can be to normalize something when we have been living with it for a long time. We can notice something, ignore it, push it aside, or simply decide that it is part of our normal life. Sometimes we can do that for years, even for 30 years.

Your body can keep trying to get your attention, but that does not necessarily mean you are ready to listen. There can be a big difference between noticing that something is there and actually being ready to explore it.

Sometimes the sign isn’t new. Sometimes it has been there all along, waiting for you to become curious enough, or ready enough, to listen.

Your intuition called. You should probably answer.

So pay attention. It’s rarely random.
