Can I trust anyone to help me connect?Desire is sacred, but the search can be overwhelming. That’s where Sally Hawk and VerySoul come in. Very Soul is a platform reshaping the foundation of spiritual connection. With evidential medium Sherry Abdou by her side, Sally’s story is a reminder that love never dies and that the right support does exist.If you're wondering how to find a trustworthy medium, this article is your guide and your reassurance.⚠️ The Problem With Finding a Medium TodayMediumship is more mainstream than ever, but it's still largely unregulated. That leaves grieving people vulnerable.You might face:* High prices – Some mediums charge $500–$800 per session.* Uncertainty – How do you know if someone is legit or just good at guessing?* Limited access – Long waitlists or no availability at all.* Emotional risk – A poor reading can feel worse than no reading at all.And for new mediums? It's just as hard. Without a safe place to practice or real-world feedback, many talented intuitives give up before they start.This is where VerySoul.com changes everything.🔮 A Platform Designed By Spirit: Meet VerySoulSally Hawk didn’t set out to start a spiritual revolution.She was a successful corporate executive, an actuary by trade, until a profound personal loss changed her life. That loss opened a channel to something bigger: a request from the spirit world itself.Spirit showed her a vision: a platform that would solve three major problems in mediumship:* Finding a trustworthy medium* Affording a session* Getting a session when you need itThat vision became VerySoul, a global, spirit-guided ecosystem where 2,500+ vetted mediums practice, grow, and serve. Since launching, VerySoul has supported over 100,000 spirit communications across 50+ countries.Very Soul is more than a website. It’s a movement.💔 From Loss to Light: Sherry Abdou’s JourneySherry Abdou didn’t know she was a medium. Like many, her spiritual gifts awakened through grief.In 2010, she lost her son Gabriel midway through her pregnancy. The pain was immediate and invisible. Well-meaning people told her she was “lucky” to have other children, or that “it wasn’t really a baby.”But a mother knows. Sherry knew.Years later, as she cared for her father in hospice, dreams and vivid spiritual impressions began to surface. She saw her father, healthy and strong, appearing in the room as if from another dimension. These weren’t fantasies. They were glimpses of something more.Eventually, through study and mentorship, her gifts matured. When she found VerySoul, everything aligned.In under a year, Sherry completed over 200 readings, serving not just parents, but spouses, siblings, and friends. Her deep compassion, shaped by caregiving and loss, makes her a lifeline for the grieving.✅ What Makes a Medium Trustworthy?Anyone can call themselves a medium, but not everyone can be trusted to do it well or ethically.At VerySoul, mediums go through a multi-stage process:* Practice rounds with other mediums* Starter client sessions (friends and family of mediums)* Donated readings to the public (all free)* Professional designation after extensive reviewThere’s no “buy-in,” no pay-to-certify scheme. It’s earned, not purchased.Each step ensures that mediums are:* Accurate* Compassionate* Consistent* Respectful of griefThis isn’t only about getting information. It’s about emotional safety—and making sure the right spirit comes through in the right way.🕊️ Spirit Wants to Reach YouWe often think we’re the ones searching. But what if our loved ones in spirit are trying just as hard to reach us?That’s what Sally and Sherry emphasize: this is a two-way street.At VerySoul, donated sessions use something called “Spirit Match.” You don’t pick a medium; you pick a time, and Spirit helps guide the rest.You are seen. You are heard. You are still connected.📌 How to Prepare for a ReadingIf you’re ready to schedule a session, here’s how to get the most out of it:* Be alone in a quiet, private space* Have an open heart and mind* Let go of expectations (specific words, names, etc.)* Write things down—some validations come later* Avoid alcohol or distractions right beforeAnd when it comes to picking a medium?💡 Trust your intuition.Even on VerySoul’s professional list, the mediums are shuffled every time to give Spirit a chance to nudge your selection.🌍 Not Just for Parents—For EveryoneSherry’s story of child loss is powerful, but VerySoul serves people of all backgrounds and all losses.They support:* Grieving spouses* Siblings* Friends* Children of aging parents* People processing loss by suicide, overdose, or sudden deathThere’s also a deep alignment with organizations like Helping Parents Heal, which Sherry supports as a “Caring Listener.”If you’ve felt isolated in your grief, VerySoul offers community, not just connection.📈 Where VerySoul Is Headed NextAs of now, VerySoul is still completely spirit-led. It does not charge mediums to join, nor take a cut of their sessions. It even offers free donated readings to anyone in need.Sally’s goal?1 million sessions by 2026.They’re growing fast. And every single session adds to a body of proof that life continues—and love never ends.You can explore their new landing page at https://specials.verysoul.com or go directly to https://verysoul.com to browse, book, or join.💬 Final Thoughts: You’re Closer Than You ThinkFinding a trustworthy medium isn’t only about proof.It’s about presence.It’s about feeling your loved one in the room, not just through facts, but through emotion, memory, and love that defies distance.VerySoul is more than a platform.
