Medium in the Middle Podcast

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to know when it's time to start charging for your spiritual practices and offerings.
This is something so many people get stuck in. Either waiting too long or jumping in before they feel ready. There is a natural progression to this work, and I walk you through what that actually looks like along with my suggestions with how to move to paid services.
We talk about building up to a one hour session, mastering the client experience, and developing confidence in what that hour holds to develop a polished service. From there, I get into the transition into paid services and what it really takes to feel comfortable charging for your work.
Because the truth is, if you are not at that stage yet, you are not confident enough to be charging.
I also share the signs that it might be time. When people start offering to pay you, referring others to you, or when you no longer want to continue offering sessions for free.
Next episode, we're continuing this conversation and getting into how to find paying clients and grow your clientele once you start charging.
There will be no new episode on April 15 and the podcast will be back on April 22.

This episode is part two of situations I don't know how to explain, and this experience raised even more questions for me than the first.
Within the span of a few days, I walked into the same bar twice, and both times something happened that I had no awareness of in the moment. According to my friend, I was delivering mediumship messages to him from his mom who had passed as I was greeting him at the door. Two completely different messages, on two different nights.
The part that gets me is that I didn't know I was doing it. I wasn't in a session, I wasn't trying to connect, I wasn't even talking about mediumship. I was just walking into a bar. I share what I remember from the situation and he shares what actually happened. 
It took him two years to tell me what he experienced, because it spooked him so much. And when he finally did, he told me I didn't seem like myself at all, like I had completely "blacked out" while I was speaking. I then returned to normal with a "I said hi, how are you?" not aware of what I had just said to him. 
This is something I've never experienced before outside of a reading, and it adds a whole other layer to what I shared in part one.

This week's episode is one of the strangest experiences I've had in my work and something I'm still trying to fully understand.
A client came in for a session and the moment I saw his name, I recognized it. When he arrived, I greeted him like I already knew him. It felt natural and familiar, like we had met before. I even asked him when I had last seen him.
But, according to my system, he had no previous appointments, and when I asked him, he told me we had never met.
That's when things took a turn.
I couldn't snap out of it. For the entire hour session, it felt like I was remembering something that didn't actually happen. Not like typical déjà vu where something feels familiar for a moment, but like a full memory. I I knew why he was there, I knew details about his life, and when I shared what I was getting, his response was, "we've never met before".
In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happened, what it felt like in my body, how it impacted the session, and the questions it has brought up for me since.
This is part one of a series because this wasn't an isolated incident. There have been other experiences happening that I can't fully explain yet, and i'll be sharing more in part 2. 
If you've ever had a moment where something felt like a memory but didn't make logical sense, this episode will likely resonate in a way you don't expect. In 8 years, I have never had something like this happen before.

In this episode, I'm celebrating episode 300 of the podcast and taking a moment to reflect on the journey that got me here.
I share how this all began, from recording episode one of the first time I connected with spirit, and what this path has looked like behind the scenes over the years. This episode walks through the moments that shaped not only this podcast, but also my work and the way I show up today. It brought up more emotion than I expected and feels like a true full circle moment.
I also share what I'm most proud of when I look back on reaching 300 episodes and everything it took to stay consistent, grow, and continue showing up on this podcast over the last almost 7 years. 
In the second half of the episode, I answer a series of questions submitted on Instagram. I speak into topics like whether the future is predetermined, how to tell the difference between intuitive information and your own thoughts, and the biggest tip I would give someone developing their mediumship. I also talk about what I personally see and experience in my work, including whether I see auras or anything connected to nature, and how Reiki supported the development of my mediumship.
I answer questions around whether devices like an Apple Watch or Oura Ring affect energy work, whether spirit communication is always loving or can come from a place of ego or separation, and what it means when spirit begins to come through during Reiki sessions. I also share my process for energetically "turning off" when I'm in crowds, reference earlier podcast episodes (50 and 70) where I talk about the eggshell analogy, and speak to the idea of identifying what kind of intuitive or "woo-woo" person you might be.
Whether you've been here since the beginning or you're just finding the podcast now, thank you for being part of this. Episode 300 feels like a moment to pause, reflect, and take it all in. Thank you Middlers for being here for 300 podcast episodes!!!

In this episode, I'm sharing a story from early in my career about a moment when I completely stuck my foot in my mouth while sharing psychic information.
It happened during an Instagram Live when I said that I felt someone would be having a baby soon. What I meant by "soon" and what the person hearing it understood were two very different things.
Months later, I received a very strongly worded email about how this message gave her false hope, as she was not yet pregnant. I learned a very important lesson from this that I will never forget.
Timing is one of the most difficult parts of psychic information. Words like "soon" can mean very different things depending on who is hearing them and what expectations they attach to that word.
In this episode, I talk about why timing can be so tricky in intuitive work and why I personally choose to be very careful when it comes to speaking about fertility or timelines. Experiences like this shaped how I approach my work today and taught me the importance of being thoughtful with the way intuitive information is delivered. I always want to share the good, the bad, and the ugly lessons I've learned over the years.
And while the situation felt very uncomfortable at the time, it ultimately had a very happy ending. Tune in to hear the full story and the unexpected way this situation eventually came full circle.
