The Developing Medium

After taking a brief break from podcasting and mediumship during a difficult family health situation, Caitlin returns with a deeply personal episode about grief, signs from spirit, and the mysterious ways loved ones may communicate from the other side. She shares emotional experiences surrounding her husband’s grandfather entering hospice, meaningful synchronicities, and the powerful reminders from the universe that pulled her back toward her spiritual work.This episode dives deep into the many ways spirit may try to get our attention — from flickering lights, songs at impossible timing, vivid dreams, repeating numbers, and familiar scents, to animals behaving strangely and even spirit working through other people. Caitlin also explores why signs often appear during emotionally significant moments and asks an intriguing question: do loved ones still try to communicate with people who don’t believe in the spirit world?If you’ve ever wondered whether a coincidence was actually something more, this episode is full of heartfelt stories, spiritual insight, and comforting reminders that our loved ones may be closer than we think.

In this episode, we discuss one of my new favorite mediumship books! We also dive into the world of cards and break down Tarot’s structured, symbolic system versus Oracle’s intuitive, free-flowing guidance. Whether you’re looking for deep insight or quick clarity, you’ll learn how each deck works and how to choose the one that fits your style.This episode will help you understand not just how to use each deck, but when to use them based on your personality, your needs, and the kind of guidance you’re looking for.This is a great starting point for anyone new to the world of cards.IG: @thedevelopingmedium

Let’s talk about the moments no one prepares you for—like when clients want hyper-specific details, exact timelines, or confirmation on demand. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually happens during readings when expectations don’t match reality, why Spirit doesn’t work like an on-demand Q&A service, and other “how do I respond to this?" moments.If you're looking for some positive only vibes about things I didn't expect during readings, skip to 18:56 :)IG @thedevelopingmedium

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest challenges developing mediums face: the ego’s need to be right. When students begin learning mediumship, the pressure to deliver perfect evidence can quietly interfere with the very thing that allows spirit communication to flow—receptivity. I explore how the analytical mind tries to interpret, control, and filter impressions, and why that often blocks the natural process of receiving information.We also talk about the common habit of “editing spirit,” when mediums hold back the strange, random, or seemingly meaningless details that often turn out to be the most powerful evidence in a reading. Learning to trust what you perceive, rather than trying to make it make sense, is one of the most important shifts in developing mediumship.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re making it up, felt the pressure to be right, or hesitated to share the odd impressions that come through, this conversation will help you understand why those experiences are actually a normal—and necessary—part of the process.IG: @thedevelopingmedium

What can you learn about your own mediumship by watching someone else read? In this episode, I unpack my experience attending a live event with John Edward and the practical insights I took away it. From delivery style to trust, pacing, and evidential flow, I share what I’ll carry forward, what I might do differently, and how you can use observation as a powerful development tool.

Recorded back in January, in this Q&A episode, I answer your most recent questions about mediumship, intuition, and spiritual connection — straight from in-person and online submissions. We talk about how to strengthen your intuitive abilities, practical ways to feel more connected, whether telepathy is actually a thing, and if your daily medications can be affecting your mediumship. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing it right,” this episode is for you.

Group readings can be magical… and also a little chaotic if you’re not prepared. In this episode, I walk you through the different types of group readings, share my own experiences, and talk about what really goes into hosting them—boundaries, money, setup, energy management, and the stuff no one warns you about. Whether you’re thinking about offering group readings or already doing them, this will help you feel more grounded and confident.

Do you ever wonder what your animals are thinking—or wish you could understand them on a deeper level? What if your pet goes missing… could communication help bring them home? Can anyone learn to communicate with animals, or does it require a special gift? And is telepathy between animals and humans actually possible?In this episode, we sit down with medium and animal communicator Chris Clardy, who shares her experiences working with animals, explains how animal communication works, and reveals what animals most want humans to understand.IG: @thedevelopingmediumIG: medium_chrisclardyhttps://caitlinbreeacupuncture.com/the-developing-medium/

This episode is an emotional one as I dive into an interaction with someone who didn't believe in mediumship and how they made me feel like a bad person for trying to help people. While it's not a typical episode (my apologies for the few tears!) it is really important as many mediums experience the same kind of interactions from friends, family and loved ones.

Medium or not, this one is for you! It's a short episode, but it hits on an interesting topic- how should you act when you're going for a reading?

This is a quick episode to explain to you what you should expect during a reading, as well as a reminder to developing mediums that not everyone comes in knowing what to expect during a reading.
