In this episode, I talk about one of the most important and often misunderstood skills in mediumship: learning to say exactly what you get, without interpretation or adding extra information.

So many developing mediums struggle not because the information is wrong, but because they change it before it ever leaves their mouth. In this conversation, I share why accuracy matters and how over-interpreting can actually dilute the information you're receiving and turn a yes into a no.

I walk through three real examples from my own practice where this skill went right and wrong. One story involves one of my mentees and seeing a swing and assuming it meant a playground, when it wasn't a swing at a park at all. Another comes from a group reading where I said a grandfather bought the same car, only to learn it was actually a truck. And in a third example, I share a moment from one of my monthly mediumship practice circles, where broken glasses was the correct information, but how it was delivered from spirit was clever to get the developing medium to say the correct thing.

This episode is meant to support developing mediums as they refine their delivery, build confidence, and learn to trust what comes through without reshaping it. Saying exactly what you get can feel uncomfortable at first, but it's one of the fastest ways to strengthen your mediumship and improve your accuracy over time.

If you've ever second-guessed yourself, softened details, or added meaning to make the message land better, this episode will help you understand why less is often more when it comes to mediumship. This episode is designed for the developing medium to add more tips to your toolbelt as you continue to refine your skills.

A highly requested episode about something so many people experience without knowing why. Energy without awareness often turns into confusion and anxiety, and this is something I see all the time in intuitive and sensitive people. In this episode, I talk about what happens when we don't realize how much of what we're feeling might not actually be ours.

If everything seems to improve when you're alone, that can be a strong sign that you're sensitive to other people's energy. I share how this shows up in real life, including anxiety, trouble sleeping, overwhelm, intense or vivid dreams, exhaustion, feeling constantly tired, sudden emotional shifts, physical sensations in the body, mental noise, and looping thoughts that feel hard to shut off.

I explore how carrying energy without awareness can make everyday life feel heavier than it needs to be, and why learning to tell the difference between your energy and other people's energy is such an important skill. I also talk about the importance of clearing your energy and setting boundaries, and how there are so many simple things you can do to start feeling better once you understand what's happening.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why they feel off after being around others, why their nervous system feels overloaded, or why peace seems to return the moment they're alone. Awareness changes everything, and once you understand what you're carrying, you can start choosing what you keep.

In this episode of Medium in the Middle, I break down the differences between Tarot cards and Oracle cards in a way that feels clear, accessible, and practical, especially if you are newer to working with cards or have felt unsure about which deck to use. This conversation is designed to remove the pressure of doing it "right" and instead help you understand how each type of deck works and why you might reach for one over the other.

I talk about the structure of Tarot and how it differs from Oracle decks, including why Tarot tends to feel more system based while Oracle cards allow for more flexibility and intuition.

This episode also explores how to know which deck is right for you and how to choose a deck without overthinking it. I share guidance on how to connect with a deck, what to pay attention to when selecting one, and why your relationship with your cards matters more than the "type" of deck you use. I also talk about how your needs, energy, and intention can change over time, and how that can influence which cards you reach for in different seasons of your life.

I also cover when to use cards in your practice, whether that is for personal reflection, intuitive development, or support during decision making, and how cards can be used as a tool rather than something you rely on for certainty or validation. This conversation emphasizes that cards are meant to work with your intuition, not replace it.

If you have ever wondered whether Tarot or Oracle cards are better, which one you should be using, or how to trust yourself when working with cards, this episode will help you feel more confident, informed, and grounded in your own intuitive process.

I had a brave Reiki Level One student ask the question that is on everyone's mind.

How long does it take to feel something? How long until you feel confident? How long until you feel like you actually know what you're doing?

In this episode, I talk about what it really looks like to learn Reiki, mediumship, or any intuitive skill over time, and why the early stages can feel so uncomfortable even when you're doing everything right. If you've ever wondered whether your progress is normal, this conversation is for you.

I share realistic timelines that I've seen again and again, both in my own development and while teaching others. Around three months is often when things start to make more sense and understanding begins to settle in. Between six and nine months, confidence usually starts to grow as practice becomes more familiar. And around a year to a year and a half is a realistic goal for feeling genuinely good at something, not because you're perfect, but because you've practiced enough to trust yourself.

We talk about how confidence doesn't suddenly appear. It grows through repetition. The more you practice, the faster you get there. And the feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and questioning yourself are things we all experience, even if it doesn't always look that way from the outside.

I also share why keeping notes as you practice can be one of the most helpful tools for building confidence. When you write things down, you begin to see your growth over time, even when it feels slow in the moment.

This episode is a reminder that feeling unsure is normal. It is not a sign that you are failing or doing something wrong. You are learning a new skill, and learning takes time.

Keep practicing until you feel confident, and trust that your confidence will grow along the way!

At the start of January 2025, I did something I don't normally do. I booked a year in review card reading. One card per month. Twelve cards. A full look ahead at what my 2025 had in store for me.

And almost immediately, I understood why I usually avoid future focused readings as it added weight to the year before it even began.

In this episode, I share what it's like to receive future focused information when you're someone who usually prefers not to know. There are two camps in spirituality, the people who want to know and the people who don't want to know.

I share about how this particular reading made me worry about 2025 and how I interpreted the information I was given in the reading. Relationship themes. Major life changes. Health concerns. Endings and beginnings that felt daunting before the year even started.

This episode is about how we take in information, how we interpret it, and how it can actually affect us. Also, how knowing certain things can shape how we move through a year.

If you've ever wondered whether knowing too much information from a reading can shape your experience, this conversation is for you!

The holidays can also feel overwhelming when you are sensitive to energy, emotions, and environments. In this episode, I share three simple but powerful reminders to support you through holiday gatherings and the busy holiday season.

We talk about navigating crowds without absorbing everything around you, staying grounded during family events, and how to clear your energy regularly. I also share practical reminders for boundaries, both energetic and personal, and how to actually rest and fall asleep more easily, even during a busy season.

Your sensitivity is not something to push through or ignore, especially at this time of year. However, there are a lot of tools to help you feeling "normal" while you are out celebrating.

I also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the Middlers! Another year of podcasting, sharing, listening, business and community would not be possible without you. Your messages, reviews, and support mean more than you know, and I am deeply grateful to be here with you. Thank you for an amazing 2025!!!

If this episode resonated, please share it with a friend who might need it during the holidays. Sometimes a reminder at the right moment makes all the difference.

The podcast will return on January 7, 2026. See you in 2026!

In this week's episode, I share part 2 following episode #287, with what happened when my family listened to the mediumship recording together, and how the messages continued to unfold.

Listening to the recording as a family was a powerful experience. There were moments where the messages landed differently for each of us, and moments where the meaning revealed itself as we listened together. There was also one single word said at the very end of the reading became a complete mic drop moment.

This episode also explores not so subtle signs that showed up for different people. Things we found at the lodge that let us know my uncle was there with us. The unexpected discovery of a CD while in town...yes, a CD!!

I also share the experience of having one family member who was not interested in listening to the recording at all. I share my perspective on how to navigate situations like this and why not everyone needs to be on board with mediumship.

This episode is a reminder that messages do not end when the reading is over, and that healing often happens in layers, conversations, and moments we do not expect. Good job Uncle! You really showed up for your entire family with this one.

This week's episode shares a personal story following the unexpected passing of my uncle and the powerful signs, synchronicities, and spirit confirmations that unfolded within the 48 hours after his death.

For someone who has worked with spirit for years, this experience still moved me in a way I was not prepared for. I speak about how I found myself at the gym at a time I would never normally be there, with my phone on me when I almost never bring my phone, and how those small details became part of a much bigger orchestration.

I also share how my cousin had been trying to schedule a practice reading with a mentee of mine for weeks and how the timing never aligned, only for the most profound mediumship messages to come through at exactly the moment they were needed most. Messages not just for one person, but for every member of our family.

In this episode, I talk about the dog that passed a message to three different people, the unmistakable synchronicities that kept stacking, and how spirit moved through conversation, timing, and signs in a way that felt impossible to ignore.

I reflect on the fact that I have not experienced unexpected loss in my life before and what it meant to navigate grief while also being deeply connected to the spirit world.

This episode is a raw look at how spirit communicates, how synchronicity shows up in moments of shock and heartbreak, and how even in loss, there can be profound reassurance, love, and connection.

If you have ever questioned the signs you receive, wondered if your loved ones are still near, or needed a reminder that spirit does not stop speaking, this episode is for you.

Ever ignored an intuitive nudge until it was basically yelling at you? This week's episode is a real-time reminder of what happens when the thinking brain says stay home but your intuition says get up, go out, and trust me.

I share the full story of how I sat on my couch from 8:30 pm until 12:30 am, feeling the strongest pull to get to my friend's birthday party. It made no logical sense. I was tired, cozy, and absolutely not in a go to the bar mood. But the nudge wouldn't let up.

When I finally listened and left the house after midnight, everything became clear. I met someone I was meant to meet, had a conversation I didn't know would be relevant, and received the confirmation that this wasn't random, it was indeed guided.

In the episode, I talk about how to tell the difference between intuition and overthinking, and what strong intuitive nudges feel like in real time. I explain why intuition often asks us to do things that make zero logical sense, and how trusting timing even when it's wildly inconvenient can lead to aligned moments you could never plan.

This episode is your reminder that intuitive guidance doesn't always arrive in soft whispers. Sometimes it shows up like a megaphone telling you to get off the couch. Why did I have to get myself to the bar? Tune in to find out what Spirit had in store!

Stay tuned for my Black Friday sale launching November 27 on my website and Instagram!

In this week's episode, we are diving into a topic that isn't talked about enough: consent in spirituality.

I'm breaking down why consent is so important in this work, how to ensure you're always asking before sharing or doing anything energetically, and why this simple act builds trust and integrity with your clients.

We'll talk about what Reiki is and what I call Reiki "plus," which is anything you add to your Reiki sessions. If you're bringing in cards, messages, crystals, mediumship, or anything extra, you must ask for consent.

I'm sharing my best practices for getting clear, informed consent in your sessions, along with my biggest pet peeves when it comes to how I see practitioners getting it wrong.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone offering spiritual or energetic services, whether you're a Reiki practitioner, or reader of any kind.

Tune in to learn why consent is a cornerstone of ethical spiritual work. Learn how to clearly communicate with clients before a session. Understand the difference between Reiki and Reiki "plus." Hear examples of where consent is often missed. And get my personal tips for staying in integrity as a practitioner.

Listen now to learn how to keep your work grounded, respectful, and aligned with the highest good, always with consent first.
