  • 014: Live Mediumship Readings

    If you're a medium out there, a developing medium, or even just someone wondering how mediumship works, I wanted to share three different examples of some of the work I’m blessed to be able to do. These are clips from our live readings captured during a group reading. Basically, what happens in a group reading is we all get together on Zoom. Then I just throw evidence out and then when it resonates with them, they will claim their loved one in spirit or claim that the evidence coming through does pertain to their life.

    Disclaimer: All of my clients you'll be hearing today have given me permission to share their particular readings. 

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • First reading: How connected with Carolyn’s puppy
    • Second reading with a woman connecting with her loved one
    • The medium’s job when things don’t make sense in the beginning
    • Third reading of a cute couple telling of the pure love they have for each other

  • 011: Interview with Artist, Medium, and Mentor Nicole Linde

    How do you know you’re really connecting with Spirit? How do you know they’re your Spirit guides nudging you and that you’re really not crazy? Join me today as I’m having this beautiful conversation with artist, intuitive, medium, and mentor Nicole Linde. 

    Nicole’s experience with her father’s passing was a true catalyst in her spiritual growth. It was when she went to a person who called themselves an intuitive clairvoyant to connect with her father and was told he was ‘stuck’ that something didn’t feel right to her. This drove her to work on her own gifts so she could get to the truth of the matter.

    Spirit uses our life struggles and journey to present information to our clients. You don’t need to be perfect to be able to connect as a medium. It’s a practice and a commitment to self-development and healing. There is absolutely nothing cookie cutter or easy about this journey or studying to do mediumship full-time.

    Get to know more about Nicole’s journey through self-awareness and development!

     

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Nicole's experience with her father’s passing as a true catalyst in her spiritual growth
    • Dealing with depression as a teenager and using drugs as her escape
    • How art became her savior
    • Getting nudges from her Spirit guides 
    • What cleared her fainting spells
    • The reason we have so many things to work with
    • Mediumship is a lifetime journey!
    • How to look for reputable mediums
    • How to handle client expectations or people who are testing you

  • 010: Interview with Artist and Reiki Master Alex Tolan

    Alex Tolan is a Reiki Master from Maryland. Growing up in a service industry located in a resort town, she was used to living a life of continuous cycle where a lot of people find themselves getting trapped. For Alex, money wasn’t an issue – yet she felt there was something more for her. 

    Alex chose to go down this creative path, earning herself a painting degree and getting into jewelry-making as she loves working with her hands.

    Beyond her creativity, Alex has always been highly intuitive as a young child. But it wasn't until January 2019 that she felt she was being pulled into something more. She didn't know what it was but she knew she had to find out how to get more inner peace. 

    By June 2019, she made the decision to begin her Reiki journey. And I am honored to witness and be a part of her growth.

    Today, we talk about mentorship, connecting with Spirit, and the beautiful spirit circle that we’ve created out of this journey as we continue to lay the foundations of learning and honor each other’s strengths. 

     

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • The creative and intuitive sides of Alex
    • The start of her Reiki journey
    • Learning how to practice trust and surrender
    • Becoming a master
    • The power of one-on-one and partnerships
    • Understanding that there is never an end result
    • How a group mentorship works
    • Her current unique offerings

  • 007: Interview with Lauren Beard

    In this episode, Lauren Beard shares with us her experience in having a one-on-one reading with me and we talk about what we covered in her reading. 

    Lauren came in with little expectations. She only wanted to hear from the other side – her grandfathers, specifically. But what she had gotten from it was actually more than that. It was profound. It was life-changing – not only for her and her family – but also for me, having witnessed the amount of love inside their home. There was so much openness in their hearts that paved the way for healing to take place. 

    If you’ve never done any reading before, this can blow your mind. You see, you have this connection with your loved ones who parted. They know what's going on in your life today. And I hope you feel them around you.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Connecting with her grandfathers 
    • It’s not just humans that are connected with us – but animals too!
    • How her past animal knew about her pregnancy
    • How do you know you’re connecting with spirit?
    • My reading with her mom and connecting with her twins
    • How to get the most out of your readings

  • 006: Shadow Work

    Constantly finding yourself stuck in a pattern?

    Whether you’re dealing with inner child issues, low self-worth, money issues, a pattern of toxic relationships, physical pain, perfectionism, or whatever it is, there is something you can do to get out of that hamster wheel.

    It’s called shadow work.

    Shadow work is the art of transmitting or transforming through healing some of those painful parts of ourselves that sometimes are so deep that they live in our subconscious minds. 

    When we face those suppressed parts of us, it's for the purpose of living a more peaceful and fulfilling life. 

    Taking the steps to do the shadow work will definitely take some strength and complete commitment to your self-care and your self-worth. But at the end of this beautiful process is a totally different outcome that has been healed and transmuted.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • What is shadow work?
    • How to stay away from the negative theme that you have bad luck
    • 4 steps in shadow work

  • 004: Relationships are Opportunity for Growth Part 2

    This episode is Part 2 of making connections on what you may need to be healed within your relationships. 

    Last week, I shared about my relationships with my paternal grandmother who became a mother figure to me. But I had always felt that she put her son and the importance of what others thought before our relationship. Then my relationship with my biological mother made me feel separate from others at a very young age. 

    After experiencing the trauma from my biological parents, it brought up some triggers that affected my relationships with other people, including my adoptive parents. 

    It was a cycle. 

    I was living mostly in fear and through that emotion, I felt disconnected. I felt very much alone in my experience and it was potentially what blocked me from having a true connection with others – and the source of love. 

    I failed to look at things through the lens of love. 

    Today, I talk about my unique relationship with my adoptive parents, how I repeatedly saw patterns of fear, rejection, separation, and self-blame, and how communication ultimately brought us back to each other and allowed healing to take place.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • When fear is the only lens you only view the world through
    • Repeated patterns of rejection from my biological and adoptive mom
    • Finding support from my adoptive dad which I didn’t have with my biological dad
    • The value of clear communication to get past patterns and traumas that trigger us
    • Seeing things through the lens of love instead of fear
