On this weeks episode I talk about three things: why I do mediumship, reflections that came up around the launch and reception of my podcast, and the stereotypes about mediumship. Check out the notes below for a more depth look but as always, I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
- It was not my intention to start doing mediumship
Mediumship has saved my life, given me life, and given me my life backIt’s helped me become more comfortable with the dark places in my lifeIt has helped me more than any therapy I’ve done but I don’t discount the benefit of therapyI used to feel like I was walking around in a fog before, due to my traumaHelped me identify triggers with my own PTSD and anxietyI realized a bit of healing I could give other peopleTo see the tiniest bit of healing is a way for me to give back a bit of what I have receivedPodcast things that came up around it:
