Perfecting Platform
Platform mediumship is about so much more than giving someone in the audience a reading. In this final episode of Season 9, I'm sharing the personal principles that guide every demonstration I do—and why I believe platform mediumship should serve the whole room, not just the person receiving the...

Just Because You Got It… Doesn’t Mean You Should Say It
“Spirit told me…” But did they? This week I’m diving into a tricky — and slightly uncomfortable — topic: Discernment. Because not everything we receive from spirit is meant to be shared. And not everything we think is from spirit… actually is. In this episode I’m exploring: • The difference…

The Secret to Better Mediumship Isn't Mediumship
My mediumship has improved dramatically recently. More evidence. More clarity. More trust. And surprisingly… I don't think it's because I've practised more mediumship. In this episode I explore the unexpected lesson the gym has taught me about working with spirit, why learning to sit with...
-
You Don't Have to Explain Someone Else's Pain
Why are we so uncomfortable sitting with someone else's pain? In this episode, I'm reflecting on a beautiful email from a listener, sharing why I almost didn't release a recent podcast, and exploring something I see all the time in spiritual spaces... Our need to explain. To interpret. To find…

Keep Your Peepers Open
You've probably heard me say it before… Open your eyes. In this episode, I'm answering a listener's question about one of the biggest hurdles developing mediums face: learning to work with their eyes open. It feels impossible at first—I know because I've been there. We explore: Why reading with...
-
Why Your Mediumship Falls Apart Before You Level Up
This week I’m talking about something I’ve seen happen to almost every developing medium… The moment they decide they’re ready to step up… and suddenly their mediumship falls apart. You start thinking about reading professionally, charging, or working with real sitters… and out of nowhere: The...
-
Why We Trust the Wrong Teachers
Why do we trust people who sound certain... even when something inside us is telling us to walk away? In this episode, I'm exploring one of the biggest challenges in mediumship development: finding teachers who empower you rather than making you dependent on them. Inspired by a couple of...
-
What Spirit Have Never Shown Me
This week's episode is another listener Q&A—and you've sent in some brilliant questions. We're talking about: When it's time to let go of tarot and trust your own connection with spirit Whether the Bible really condemns mediumship What I believe spirit guides actually do The idea of a "resting...
-
Has Spirituality Made Us Self-Obsessed?
When does self-development stop helping... and start holding us back? In this episode, I'm asking an uncomfortable question that I've been wrestling with myself: Has modern spirituality become too focused on me? My healing. My awakening. My purpose. My story. And somewhere along the way, have we...
-
What Do Spirit Guides Actually Do?
If spirit guides don't tell us what to do... If they don't stop painful things from happening... If they don't magically grant our wishes... Then what exactly do they do? In this episode, I'm answering a brilliant listener question about the purpose of spirit guides and sharing how my…
more -
Do Spirit Have a Gender?
Do souls have a gender? After receiving a thoughtful question from a listener, I found myself exploring something I'd never really spoken about before. When we work with spirit, why do mediums so often describe "a gentleman" or "a lady"? Is that what spirit really are... or is it simply the…
more -
When Someone Tries to Dim Your Light
What happens when someone you trust publicly undermines you? In this week's episode, I'm sharing a very personal experience that has challenged my confidence far more than I expected. This isn't about naming names or settling scores. It's about exploring what happens inside us when trust is…

Do You Really Need Protection?
Do you really need psychic protection before working with spirit? After receiving several questions about demonic attachments, negative entities and clearing energy, I wanted to share the approach I used for years—and why my beliefs have changed over time. In this episode, we explore: Why your...
-
What If They're Right... Too?
Can two mediums completely disagree... and both be right? This week, I'm exploring one of the biggest challenges in spiritual development: navigating different teachers, different philosophies and different approaches without feeling like someone has to "win". In this episode we explore: Why...
-
So Spirit Exists... Now What?
Imagine you've had the reading you've always wanted. Your loved one comes through. You know they're safe. You know life continues. Now what? In this episode, I'm exploring something I don't think we talk about enough in mediumship: What happens after the evidence? We discuss: Why an evidential...
-
I Still Dread Every Reading
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...
-
Did Spirit Build It… Or Did You?
This week I’m exploring a question that’s been rattling around my head for a while: Where does spirit end… and human effort begin? Because in spiritual spaces, we’re often very comfortable saying: Spirit brought me this. Spirit guided me. Spirit made it happen. But what about the hours of work?…
more -
Have We Broken Spirituality?
This week’s episode is a bit of a deep dive into spirit communication, expectations… and whether modern spirituality is making genuine connection harder. Starting with listener questions, we end up exploring: • Why spirit sometimes show up without a message • Whether spirit guides are really...
-
Did I Manifest This?
This week’s episode started with road rage… and somehow ended up exploring manifestation, energetic responsibility and whether we blame ourselves for things that were never ours to carry. Because after a really uncomfortable encounter on the road, I found myself asking a question I think a lot of...
-
The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back
This week’s episode is a bit of a story… and the lesson that came from it. Because sometimes it’s not the big things that force change. It’s the final, small thing you were willing to tolerate… until suddenly, you’re not. In this episode, I’m sharing: • What happened when Spirit Social was hit by…
more -
Are We Ruining Mediumship By Trying To Be Better?
This week’s episode came from a moment in teaching that stopped me in my tracks… In our quest to become better mediums… are we actually losing the point of mediumship? Because somewhere along the way, many of us become focused on one thing: More evidence. More proof. More validation. But what if...
-
The Weight of Being a Medium
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: •…
more -
Why Your Reading Didn’t Come True
What happens when a reading doesn’t come true? This week’s episode came from a real client question… and it sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. Because there isn’t just one answer. Was the reading wrong? Did the sitter not take the action they needed to take? Or is it simply that the timeline...
-
Your New Life Will Cost You Your Old One
We hear it all the time in spiritual spaces: Your new life will cost you your old one. It sounds inspiring. Empowering, even. But what does that actually look like when you’re living it? In this episode, I’m sharing a much more honest view of what that cost can be. Not just the visible changes…
more -
Your Shadow Isn’t Going Anywhere
Shadow work. We love to talk about it. We love to say we’re doing it. We love to imagine that one day we’ll be “done.” Here’s the truth: your shadow isn’t going anywhere. In this episode I’m talking about trauma, blocks, awakening, and the slightly uncomfortable reality that being human means...
-
Need Changes Everything
Need powers a reading. And no one talks about that properly. In this episode I’m breaking down the difference between professional readings and practice spaces, why development readings don’t always feel powerful, and why reading for someone who’s had twelve readings in two weeks is not the flex...
-
Energy is Everything
Energy is everything in a reading. Not just the evidence. Not just the facts. The energy. In this episode I talk about the “gears of a car” and why you cannot start in sixth gear just because you want to impress someone. Why we stall. Why we push for more evidence even when it’s already proven.…
more -
Encouragement Isn’t Development
Being told you’re amazing feels great. But is it helping you grow? In this episode I talk about teaching advanced mediums, why direct feedback can feel brutal, and the uncomfortable truth that validation and development are not the same thing. If you’ve ever left a class feeling slightly winded…...
-
You Don’t Have to Go Pro
You don’t have to turn your mediumship into a business. You don’t need a booking link. You don’t need a brand. You don’t need to “step into your calling.” In this episode I’m talking about the pressure to monetise everything spiritual, and why doing mediumship because you love it is more than...
-
Season 9: Trust Yourself
