Discover how to recognize signs from spirit and stop dismissing the messages your loved ones are sending you.

You’re not missing signs from the afterlife—you’re dismissing them. And when nothing obvious showed up… you started to wonder if anything was there at all.

But what if something did show up… and you just didn’t recognize it?

This episode reveals a powerful pattern seen across real mediumship readings and personal experience—how subtle signs from spirit are often overlooked, dismissed, or explained away… and how that shapes what you believe, feel, and experience next.

This isn’t about learning how to find signs.

It’s about realizing what you’ve already seen—and what it may have quietly cost you not to trust it.

If you’ve ever:

• Asked for a sign from a loved one or spirit guide
• Wondered if you’re “missing something”
• Felt unsure whether what you experienced was real

…this will hit close to home.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Why you’re not actually missing signs—but filtering them out
• The subtle ways your mind dismisses real experiences without you realizing it
• How this pattern builds doubt, distance, and emotional disconnection over time

Through three powerful stories—including a grieving sister, a personal turning point, and a striking mediumship reading—you’ll start to see how:

• Small moments carry meaning before they feel important
• What you tell yourself right after a moment determines what you believe next
• The “cost” of ignoring these moments doesn’t show up immediately… but builds over time

Most people believe they’re open in their relationships. They’re honest. They care. They assume the important things are already understood. But there’s a gap most people don’t see: 👉 what you feel vs 👉 what the other person actually experiences.

After thousands of mediumship readings, one pattern shows up again and again: “I thought they knew.” “I didn’t say it enough.” Not because people didn’t love deeply…but because they didn’t express it in real time. In this episode, a powerful reading stands out—because it was different. Nothing was left unsaid. And that contrast reveals exactly where most relationships slowly create distance without realizing it.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why honesty isn’t the same as emotional expression
• The hidden communication gap that makes people feel disconnected
• Why “they already know” quietly weakens relationships over time
• What actually makes someone feel loved (not just assume it)
• The pattern that shows up in real readings—and what it reveals about regret

If you’ve ever thought: “They know how I feel…” This will change how you see your relationships—and what you say (or don’t say) moving forward.

Your energy affects your relationships more than you think—because people don’t feel your intention, they feel your presence. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

You can say the right things, show up with good intentions, and still create distance in your relationships.

Because what people actually respond to isn’t what you mean… it’s the energy you give off. And when there’s a gap between the two, it shows up in subtle ways—misunderstanding, disconnection, and a feeling that something is off, even when everything looks fine on the surface.

In this episode, we break down why your energy doesn’t match how people experience you—and how subconscious signals shape connection, communication, and trust more than words ever do.

Once you start to see it, you’ll recognize it everywhere.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why the energy you give off doesn’t match your intention—and how it impacts your relationships
• The subconscious signals people pick up on that shape emotional connection and trust
• How aligning your presence and energy changes the way people respond to you

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel disconnected in your relationships even when you’re trying to show up fully
• You’ve been misunderstood and don’t know why
• You want to improve your communication, presence, and emotional connection

You think you can deal with it later… but that’s how it gets worse—and by the time you realize it, it’s too late. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

In this episode, we explore the hidden cost of avoidance—why delaying things that feel manageable in the moment can lead to bigger consequences in your health, relationships, and decision-making.

You’ll learn how the pattern of “I’ll deal with it later” shows up in everyday life, why ignoring early signals creates long-term problems, and how to recognize these moments before they turn into regret.

You’ll recognize this if:

• you’ve ever thought “I’ll handle it later”

• you’ve ignored something that felt off physically or emotionally

• you’ve delayed a conversation you knew you needed to have

• someone close to you has said “I’m worried”… and you brushed it off

What You’ll Learn:

• Why delaying action creates bigger consequences over time

• The hidden pattern behind “I’ve got it” and self-reliance

• What people consistently realize too late after they pass

• How subtle avoidance shows up in everyday moments

• The question that can interrupt this pattern in real time

You don’t say how you feel… not because you don’t care—but because you’re afraid of what might happen if you do. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

If you’ve ever felt something deeply… but hesitated to say it…this might change how you see it. In this episode, I share a real story from a mediumship reading that reveals one of the most common patterns I’ve seen:

People don’t hold back because they don’t care. They hold back because it feels safer not to say it. But over time… that silence creates distance. Not all at once. Not dramatically. Just slowly—through the things left unsaid. This isn’t about becoming more emotional. It’s about understanding:

• what actually stops you from expressing what you feel
• why “they already know” is often wrong
• and what it may cost if nothing changes
• Because across thousands of readings, one thing comes through again and again. It’s not what people did that stays with them. It’s what they never expressed. 

If someone came to mind while you were reading this…there may be something here for you.

• Why we assume people “already know” how we feel
• The real fear behind emotional silence
• How unspoken words create distance in relationships
• Why expressing something small can change everything
• The pattern that leads to regret—and how to interrupt it

What’s something you’ve been meaning to say… but haven’t?

Booked out but still underpaid? Many intuitive practitioners have full calendars yet unstable income. The problem isn’t more clients—it’s hidden business leaks. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

If your intuitive business looks successful but financial stability still feels fragile, the issue usually isn’t demand. It’s structure.

Many intuitive practitioners—energy healers, mediums, coaches, Reiki practitioners, yoga teachers, and spiritual guides—build businesses that generate revenue but quietly drain profit through poor pricing strategy, emotional labor overload, and structural business leaks.

Chris Lippincott—CFA, MBA, former Wall Street financial analyst, and longtime intuitive practitioner—breaks down why so many spiritual businesses stay busy but financially unstable.

Instead of chasing more clients, you’ll learn how to rethink your entrepreneurial mindset, repair hidden business leaks, and build a business structure that actually supports your life.

You’ll learn:

• Why being booked out doesn’t guarantee financial stability

• The hidden business leaks draining income from intuitive practices

• How emotional labor quietly destroys profitability

• Why most intuitive practitioners struggle with pricing strategy

• The difference between revenue growth and true business stability

• The mindset shifts required to build a sustainable spiritual business

• How better business structure increases income without more clients

If you’re an intuitive practitioner trying to stabilize your income while doing meaningful work, this discussion will help you rethink how your business actually operates.

Booked out but not paid enough? If your intuitive business is busy but your income still feels tight, this is why. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

If you’re a Reiki practitioner, medium, energy healer, spiritual coach, or intuitive entrepreneur generating real revenue but still feeling financially stretched, this episode will hit home.

Most intuitive business owners don’t have a marketing problem. They have a structural problem.

Being fully booked does not automatically mean:

• Strong profit margins

• Predictable income

• Stable take-home pay

• Financial freedom

In this conversation, we break down how to increase your take-home income 20–40% without adding more clients, more marketing, or more working hours.

This isn’t hustle advice. This is business model repair.

• Why raising prices is about unit economics — not ego

• How to increase Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) using frequency, retention, and order value

• How memberships and structured offers stabilize revenue

• How digital products and leveraged income reduce time-for-money pressure

• Why recurring revenue and prepaid containers calm income volatility

If your calendar is full but your income feels unstable, this episode will show you exactly where the leak is — and how to fix it.

This show is evolving. If you’re serving Spirit but your business feels unstable, this next chapter was built for you.

For years, this podcast focused on spiritual discernment, intuition, and connecting with Spirit. That foundation remains — but it’s expanding.

In this episode, I explain why this show is evolving and what that evolution means for intuitive entrepreneurs.

If you’re a coach, healer, medium, Reiki practitioner, or spiritual service provider generating revenue yet still feeling financial pressure, profit leaks, or burnout from being the bottleneck — this conversation is for you. We’re moving from personal discernment to applied discernment in business.

You’ll hear:

• Why revenue can look strong and still feel unstable

• Why repeatedly changing your offer is often structural, not branding

• How emotional pricing quietly erodes margin

• Why intuitive businesses feel fragile under financial pressure

• What it means to design a model that supports your life instead of consuming it

My background is unusual in this space. Before becoming an international medium, I spent 30 years in high-stakes financial environments analyzing businesses, assessing structure, and separating signal from noise — yet I also spent over a decade teaching disciplined spiritual discernment and evidential mediumship.

Now those two worlds converge.

This next chapter focuses on helping intuitive entrepreneurs build calm, profitable, structurally sound businesses so they can serve at a higher level — without financial stress undermining their calling.

If serving Spirit shouldn’t feel financially unstable, you’re in the right place.

Is it intuition or anxiety? If you are struggling to tell the difference, you are not alone. In this episode, I explain why true spiritual guidance is never loud and how to finally stop overthinking so you can break the mental loop of doubt. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by a decision, wondering if that "urgent feeling" is a warning sign or just fear pretending to be helpful, this episode is for you. We often mistake the loudness of anxiety for the importance of a message. But as you'll learn, your true inner voice doesn't scream—it whispers.

In this episode, we explore:

• The "Siren" Trap: Why anxiety attacks use urgency to trick you, and how to spot the difference between survival instinct and true intuition.
• Decoding the Texture: How to identify the "jagged," constricted energy of fear versus the "smooth," expanded nature of trusting your intuition.
• The Relief Trap: Why making a fast decision just to end the tension is usually just "solving an emotion" rather than finding mental clarity.
• Practical Discernment Tools: How to use the "Return Test" to filter out mental noise and hear your inner voice clearly.

Timestamps: 

• (00:00) The "Loudness" Trap: Why Anxiety Feels Like Truth 
• (08:31) The "Texture" of Intuition (Constriction vs. Expansion) 
• (17:18) Breaking the Loop: How to Trust the Silence 
• (22:49) The "Return Test" for Instant Clarity

Feeling calmer than ever but still stuck in your head? This episode explains why clarity often gets harder afterwards.. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.

Many people believe overthinking means they lack awareness, confidence, or intuition. But for highly self-aware people, overthinking often increases after calm, presence, and emotional regulation improve. In this episode, Chris breaks down why clarity feels harder as awareness grows, how mental noise forms when internal signals go unfiltered, and why trying to find meaning in every thought quietly keeps you stuck.

This conversation explores the difference between calm and clarity, awareness and discernment, and explains why mental overload is not a failure of growth but a natural transition stage. If you struggle with overthinking, decision fatigue, lack of clarity, second-guessing decisions, or mental noise despite feeling grounded and emotionally stable, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening inside your mind — and why nothing has gone wrong.

What You’ll Learn

• Why calm awareness doesn’t automatically produce clarity
• How increased awareness can create mental overload and overthinking
• The difference between noticing thoughts and trusting them
• Why unfiltered internal signals lead to decision fatigue
• How clarity begins by learning what not to respond to
