Cracking Open Adventures of a Reluctant Medium by Isabeau Maxwell


Listen Later

It’s hard to imagine shopping at the local grocery store and encountering a group of spirits in the cracker aisle, yet that was just one step on Beau Maxwell’s fascinating journey to recognizing and embracing her abilities as a Medium. Beau’s story is heartfelt, she has a healthy sense of humor that makes the book enjoyable. I found myself becoming ever more curious about unseen entities as her adventures unfolded. Beau revealed the pitfalls of doing readings at the county fair, the pain of dealing with jealousy from other professional readers, and her bumpy transition into a new line of work that included ghost-busting stuck souls from haunted houses.

What made this autobiography most compelling for me was Beau’s quest to fulfill her purpose. She realizes that this mediumship is her purpose and it’s not going to be an easy path. There are underlying themes of how she is coming to terms with problematic family relationships…we all have those in some form or another. She also is learning that she doesn’t have to share everything that picks up on from the spirits, and she has a few experiences instilled in her a code of ethics about the sharing of information. And who knew there was even a market for ghostbusting haunted houses! Her book made it sound like that was something she does "on the regular!" Beau doesn’t suit up and strap on a proton-pack for her form of ghostbusting, but rather, she evokes a form of spiritual protection she calls “GPC,” ground, clear, and protect. Mostly, she busts the vaporlike beings with love or in a tough-love kinda’ way.
