The Weight of Being a Medium

September 1, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

This week’s episode is a more honest look at something we don’t often talk about in mediumship…


The weight of it.


Because while mediumship is an incredible privilege, it also asks a lot of you.


In this episode, I’m sharing what happens when that reality really lands.


We’re talking about:

• Sitting in other people’s grief, day after day

• The emotional and energetic weight of evidential readings

• How mediumship changes your relationship with life, loss and fear

• The pressure to hold space, even when it affects you

• And why this work is both beautiful… and heavy


This isn’t about complaining.


It’s about being real.


Because mediumship isn’t just about connection to spirit…


It’s about learning how to carry what comes with it.

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.
