Episode 20: Debunking Common Myths and Misconceptions about Psychics

What this episode covers

What myth have you heard about psychics? We know we have too many more myths out there than we can debunk. In this episode, we debunk three popular myths about psychics. 1.    Are psychics frauds? We know many people out there think we psychics are frauds. Unfortunately, there are psychics who are not genuine and are just after swindling people. Shannon remembers an encounter she had in New York with a psychic. They offered to read her energy and told her she had a dark entity attached to her soul. The psychic asked Shannon for some money for her to learn more. Shannon spent $300, and the psychic wanted even more from her. That's an example of an illegitimate psychic.  2.    Can psychics read our minds? People fear psychics and mediums because they think they can read their minds. That's far from the truth. Psychics can read your energy and not your mind.  3.    Psychics can predict the future: Do you think that's true? No, it isn't. We can only see patterns but cannot predict the future, considering many changes happen. Just before the Covid pandemic, Sylvia Browne predicted it. It wasn't exactly how she predicted it. Is that why people believe we can foretell the future? In this episode, we also share some tips on how to spot legitimate psychics. Listen in and learn.

But then it's like you can't be super open where you do not practice any discernment." Have you ever been swindled by someone who pretends to be a psychic? We'd love to hear your story.
