Lisa breaks down what people are really seeking when they book a reading—beyond the obvious need for a sign or reassurance that a loved one is okay. Drawing on 30+ years of stories and sessions, she names six deeper drivers: guilt and self-blame, unfinished conversations, fear of death and the unknown, the need for permission to live again, identity shifts after loss, and even family repair through truth and healing. She also sets a clear boundary around ethical mediumship, warning against readings becoming an anxiety-driven crutch, and reframes “signs” as spirit sharpening your awareness rather than literally manipulating the physical world. The throughline: the healthiest mediumship leaves you steadier, more empowered, and more trusting of your own intuition.
