Why She Doesn't Like Doing Readings — And What It Costs to Give Them | Astrology Ride of the Day

She owns a witchcraft shop, teaches practitioners, and stocks everything you'd need for a reading — but Lindy admits she just doesn't like giving them herself. Her late husband did tarot; she preferred tea leaves, but never connected to it the way he did. From there, the conversation turns personal — both Paul and Lindy confessing they struggle with people despite doing work that's entirely about connecting with them. Paul shares feeling physically drained after a string of live readings, and Lindy confirms it: stepping into someone else's energy field takes something out of you, especially somewhere unfamiliar. Her advice — bring something familiar, cleanse the space, cleanse yourself after. And her closing line lands hard: nobody ever books a reading when life is actually going well. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
