Ep. 298 - Sensing Energy In Unexpected Places: Spirit At The Gym Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

This episode was inspired by ordinary trip to the gym, but it quickly turned into a spirit trying to visit someone in class.

I share a moment when someone asked me if I could feel her grandmother around her at the gym. Normally, I'm completely off and don't sense energy randomly. I also talk about why reading someone else's energy without consent is unethical.

I share a story about a mother's energy that lingered around me at the gym for a week. It took me months to realize it was one of my friend's moms. This led to a deeper reflection on how, as adults, we rarely talk about our passed loved ones even when our friends are mediums.

The realization came at a Christmas brunch while discussing family traditions, when I discovered two of my friends had lost their moms. The energy I had been feeling at the gym turned out to be one of their moms visiting. The synchronicity was uncanny, especially since we all go to the gym at the same time every day.

Tune in for this story about noticing energy, the ethics of delivering mediumship messages, and how the spirits of our passed loved ones can show up in the most unexpected places even in the middle of your workout.

Ep. 297 - Can I Tell You How I Found You? Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I share one of the most synchronistic client stories I have ever heard that shocked me!

It began with a client simply hearing about Canada. Then she kept hearing about Banff. Then Reiki kept coming into conversation. One connection led to another until she found my podcast, or should I say my podcast found her. My episode randomly started playing in her car. Every step felt connected, intentional and mind blowing.

I receive messages often from people sharing the unexpected ways they find my podcast, but this one truly shook me. The synchronicities were undeniable.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes you do not find a podcast by accident. Sometimes it finds you. I believe that if you are here listening, you are here for a reason. Whether you are developing your intuition, stepping into Reiki, or deepening your spiritual path, you are not here randomly. One thing I know for sure, is my podcast will find you when you need it.

If my work has found you, I trust there is something here meant to support you on your development journey. This work never stops amazing me!

Ep. 296 - What Do You See? The Aphantasia Scale & Your Mind's Eye Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

What do you see when you close your eyes?

In this episode, we explore the Aphantasia Scale, a one to five spectrum that describes how vividly you visualize in your mind's eye, and how that directly influences your mediumship and intuition.

Many people assume that being intuitive means seeing clear mental images, but that is not necessarily true. Visualization exists on a spectrum, and intuitive information can come through in many different ways depending on your natural strengths. I discuss why understanding where you fall on the scale matters and how it helps you stop forcing your intuition to look a certain way.

Your ability to visualize does not determine your intuitive ability. When you understand how your mind works, you can develop your gifts with greater confidence and clarity.

This episode offers reassurance for anyone who has questioned their intuitive ability because their inner world does not look cinematic or crystal clear. Your mind's eye does not determine your capacity for connection. How you understand and strengthen your natural way of receiving information is what truly matters.

Ep. 295 - Skepticism In Spirituality: Collecting Your Own Evidence Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Skepticism and spirituality are not opposites.

This episode was inspired by a conversation inside my Reiki Level One course, where someone asked a very honest question. They wondered whether they were feeling heat in their hands during practice or if their hands were simply warm. They questioned whether their dreams had become more vivid because of the course or if that change was completely random.

These are important questions to ask.

In this episode, I talk about why being skeptical in your spiritual development is not a problem to fix, but a strength to use. Whether you are developing your intuition, practicing Reiki, or exploring mediumship, you cannot build confidence on blind belief alone. You build confidence by collecting evidence. You build it by paying attention to patterns. You build it by noticing what repeats over weeks and months instead of dismissing experiences as coincidence or imagination.

Skepticism becomes powerful when you use it as a lens, not to shut yourself down, but to test what is happening.

I explore the difference between healthy skepticism and self-sabotage, and why isolated experiences do not build trust, but consistent patterns do. I talk about how to track and evaluate your intuitive experiences over time and why proving yourself right or wrong is part of the process. Doubt does not weaken your spiritual foundation when it is used intentionally. It strengthens it.

You do not need to turn off your logic in order to grow spiritually. You need to use it well.

If you have ever questioned your experiences, wondered whether you are making things up, or felt unsure about what is real, this episode will help you approach your development in a grounded and empowered way.

Spiritual growth is not about believing harder. It is about paying attention longer to find the patterns.

Ep. 294 - Learning to Say Exactly What You Get in Mediumship Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I talk about one of the most important and often misunderstood skills in mediumship: learning to say exactly what you get, without interpretation or adding extra information.

So many developing mediums struggle not because the information is wrong, but because they change it before it ever leaves their mouth. In this conversation, I share why accuracy matters and how over-interpreting can actually dilute the information you're receiving and turn a yes into a no.

I walk through three real examples from my own practice where this skill went right and wrong. One story involves one of my mentees and seeing a swing and assuming it meant a playground, when it wasn't a swing at a park at all. Another comes from a group reading where I said a grandfather bought the same car, only to learn it was actually a truck. And in a third example, I share a moment from one of my monthly mediumship practice circles, where broken glasses was the correct information, but how it was delivered from spirit was clever to get the developing medium to say the correct thing.

This episode is meant to support developing mediums as they refine their delivery, build confidence, and learn to trust what comes through without reshaping it. Saying exactly what you get can feel uncomfortable at first, but it's one of the fastest ways to strengthen your mediumship and improve your accuracy over time.

If you've ever second-guessed yourself, softened details, or added meaning to make the message land better, this episode will help you understand why less is often more when it comes to mediumship. This episode is designed for the developing medium to add more tips to your toolbelt as you continue to refine your skills.

Ep. 293 - How to Tell the Difference Between Your Energy and Other People's Energy Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

A highly requested episode about something so many people experience without knowing why. Energy without awareness often turns into confusion and anxiety, and this is something I see all the time in intuitive and sensitive people. In this episode, I talk about what happens when we don't realize how much of what we're feeling might not actually be ours.

If everything seems to improve when you're alone, that can be a strong sign that you're sensitive to other people's energy. I share how this shows up in real life, including anxiety, trouble sleeping, overwhelm, intense or vivid dreams, exhaustion, feeling constantly tired, sudden emotional shifts, physical sensations in the body, mental noise, and looping thoughts that feel hard to shut off.

I explore how carrying energy without awareness can make everyday life feel heavier than it needs to be, and why learning to tell the difference between your energy and other people's energy is such an important skill. I also talk about the importance of clearing your energy and setting boundaries, and how there are so many simple things you can do to start feeling better once you understand what's happening.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why they feel off after being around others, why their nervous system feels overloaded, or why peace seems to return the moment they're alone. Awareness changes everything, and once you understand what you're carrying, you can start choosing what you keep.

Ep. 292 - Tarot vs Oracle Cards Explained: What's the Difference and How They Work Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Medium in the Middle, I break down the differences between Tarot cards and Oracle cards in a way that feels clear, accessible, and practical, especially if you are newer to working with cards or have felt unsure about which deck to use. This conversation is designed to remove the pressure of doing it "right" and instead help you understand how each type of deck works and why you might reach for one over the other.

I talk about the structure of Tarot and how it differs from Oracle decks, including why Tarot tends to feel more system based while Oracle cards allow for more flexibility and intuition.

This episode also explores how to know which deck is right for you and how to choose a deck without overthinking it. I share guidance on how to connect with a deck, what to pay attention to when selecting one, and why your relationship with your cards matters more than the "type" of deck you use. I also talk about how your needs, energy, and intention can change over time, and how that can influence which cards you reach for in different seasons of your life.

I also cover when to use cards in your practice, whether that is for personal reflection, intuitive development, or support during decision making, and how cards can be used as a tool rather than something you rely on for certainty or validation. This conversation emphasizes that cards are meant to work with your intuition, not replace it.

If you have ever wondered whether Tarot or Oracle cards are better, which one you should be using, or how to trust yourself when working with cards, this episode will help you feel more confident, informed, and grounded in your own intuitive process.

Ep. 291 - How Long Until You Feel Like You Know What You're Doing? Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

I had a brave Reiki Level One student ask the question that is on everyone's mind.

How long does it take to feel something? How long until you feel confident? How long until you feel like you actually know what you're doing?

In this episode, I talk about what it really looks like to learn Reiki, mediumship, or any intuitive skill over time, and why the early stages can feel so uncomfortable even when you're doing everything right. If you've ever wondered whether your progress is normal, this conversation is for you.

I share realistic timelines that I've seen again and again, both in my own development and while teaching others. Around three months is often when things start to make more sense and understanding begins to settle in. Between six and nine months, confidence usually starts to grow as practice becomes more familiar. And around a year to a year and a half is a realistic goal for feeling genuinely good at something, not because you're perfect, but because you've practiced enough to trust yourself.

We talk about how confidence doesn't suddenly appear. It grows through repetition. The more you practice, the faster you get there. And the feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and questioning yourself are things we all experience, even if it doesn't always look that way from the outside.

I also share why keeping notes as you practice can be one of the most helpful tools for building confidence. When you write things down, you begin to see your growth over time, even when it feels slow in the moment.

This episode is a reminder that feeling unsure is normal. It is not a sign that you are failing or doing something wrong. You are learning a new skill, and learning takes time.

Keep practicing until you feel confident, and trust that your confidence will grow along the way!

Ep. 290 - The Card Reading That Made Me Worry About My 2025 Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

At the start of January 2025, I did something I don't normally do. I booked a year in review card reading. One card per month. Twelve cards. A full look ahead at what my 2025 had in store for me.

And almost immediately, I understood why I usually avoid future focused readings as it added weight to the year before it even began.

In this episode, I share what it's like to receive future focused information when you're someone who usually prefers not to know. There are two camps in spirituality, the people who want to know and the people who don't want to know.

I share about how this particular reading made me worry about 2025 and how I interpreted the information I was given in the reading. Relationship themes. Major life changes. Health concerns. Endings and beginnings that felt daunting before the year even started.

This episode is about how we take in information, how we interpret it, and how it can actually affect us. Also, how knowing certain things can shape how we move through a year.

If you've ever wondered whether knowing too much information from a reading can shape your experience, this conversation is for you!
