I Still Dread Every Reading

Show notes

This week, I'm admitting something that might surprise you...

I still dread every reading.

After years of working professionally as a medium, I still feel nervous before demonstrations, anxious before one-to-one readings, and vulnerable every time I open myself to spirit.


In this episode, I'm talking about:


  • Why confidence isn't the goal
  • The reality of imposter syndrome in mediumship
  • Why the sitter's energy matters more than people realise
  • The mistake developing mediums make while waiting to "feel ready"
  • What changed for me after thousands of readings
  • And why some of the most difficult readings become the most memorable.

If you've ever wondered whether you're the only medium who feels terrified before working...

You're definitely not.

I'm starting a circle, and you're invited.

Most people developing their mediumship are doing it on their own. From September I'm running a monthly development circle inside Spirit Social, where you practise with other people instead of just reading about it. Over 12 monthly live events, alongside daily card readings and live demonstrations.
