Medium in the Middle Podcast

In this episode, I am filling in some of the blanks from last week's episode #312, and sharing more information to provide clarity around the story of Voldemort. I intentionally kept parts of that story vague, but after sharing it, I knew there were more pieces that needed to be explained. This episode helps connect some of the dots before moving into the next part of the story. I also share about a psychic reading I received in August, 2025. If you want the full backstory of how we even got to this point, go back and listen to episode #276 'A Psychic Told Me To Talk To You' first. In this episode, I talk about the two psychic readings I received, why I decided to go back for a second reading, and all of the things that came through that were so accurate. I also share the things that were completely incorrect, the information that threw me for a loop, and the experience of sitting with information that doesn't always make sense. I talk about the interesting relationship we can have with wanting to know the future. Some people love going to psychics because they want answers and insight, while other people would rather not know what is coming. I share my own experience with being someone who wanted clarity, but also had to process what it felt like to receive certain information. There were also many things from the readings that confirmed information I already knew, which brought up even more questions around intuition, timing, and how we interpret the messages we receive. This is my last episode of the summer, and the podcast will be back on September 9, 2026. Thank you for listening, supporting the podcast, and being part of this journey!!

On June 9, 2020, I launched The Medium in the Middle website. Six years later, I want to look back and share the story of how I got here. In this episode, I take you back to 2018 and share the journey that eventually led to the launch of The Medium in the Middle. I talk about taking my first Reiki course, leaving my job, and traveling to Costa Rica to complete my yoga teacher training. I share what it was like to return home without a job, visit Banff for the first time after moving away three years earlier, and realize that I needed to leave everything behind and move back to the mountains. After deciding I wanted to return to Banff, I couldn't find a job anywhere. It felt like every door was closed. Then, when I realized what was happening, things started falling into place. Within days, I found work, made the move, and began rebuilding my life in a place that I knew I needed to be in. Before The Medium in the Middle became my full-time career, I was working three jobs. I was serving in a restaurant, teaching yoga classes, and offering Reiki sessions while trying to figure out how to build a business from the ground up. When COVID happened, I lost my jobs and everything changed. People began asking for online readings, workshops, and classes, and I suddenly found myself trying to figure out how to take a business that had been built around in-person services and move it online. It took months of figuring it out before the website was finally ready to launch to the world. This episode is a reflection on the last six years of building The Medium in the Middle and the lessons I have learned along the way. If you've been thinking about starting something, whether it's a business, a new career path, or a dream you've been putting off, I hope this episode encourages you to take the first step. The best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is today. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting The Medium in the Middle over the last six years!!!

In this week's episode, we are talking all about channelling, the difference between channelling and being a channeller, and the common "symptoms" that many people experience before they even realize what is happening to them. I share my experiences working with channellers over the years, the patterns I continue to notice, and why discovering this label can sometimes help people finally make sense of experiences they have been having for years. While labels are not everything, they can help point you in the right direction and give you language for what you are experiencing so you can begin learning how to work with it instead of feeling overwhelmed by it. For many people, these experiences can feel chaotic, intense, and all consuming at first, almost like being caught in a tornado. But over time, with awareness, practice, and understanding, you begin to realize that you can work with the energy instead of being controlled by it. This is a conversation that recently gained a lot of attention on my social media, with many people resonating deeply with the signs and experiences I shared. In this episode, we go deeper into what it can feel like to channel information, how these experiences can show up differently for everyone, and why understanding your own energetic patterns is such an important part of spiritual development.

In this week's episode, I share the story of how one woman found me in the most unexpected way. From Australia, to Hawaii, to Canada, every step of her journey unfolded through intuition, trust, and listening to the pull she felt. After meeting a woman in Hawaii who guided her toward my podcast, she returned home to Australia, continued listening, and later found herself in Canada for a work trip. During that trip, she booked an in-person appointment with me, rented the car, followed the feeling, and eventually took her Reiki Level One course with me. She is a researcher, and a skeptic, but she listened and followed the nudges she was receiving. This episode is a reminder that the Universe often moves with us, but we have to be willing to take the first step first. Sometimes intuition is not loud or dramatic. Sometimes it sounds like, "I feel like I need to go into this store," "I think I need to call you," or "I don't know why, but I feel like I need to book this appointment." The next step is not always fully visible when you begin, but when you listen and take action, the path starts to unfold. If something keeps falling into your lap, showing up repeatedly, or pulling at you again and again, there is usually a reason for it. In this episode, we talk about trusting the pull, taking action before you have all the answers, and why sometimes all you have to do is listen.

In this week's episode, I share how Spirit Guides work with us, how I first became aware of my own guides, and the ways I receive information from them and my Higher Self. When I went mini-viral, I became sick and overwhelmed and was desperate for guidance. My guides simply told me to wait, and the information I needed came days later. This clear guidance was available to me because of the relationship I have built with my guides and Higher Self, and the trust developed over many years. I also talk about the difference between Spirit Guides and your Higher Self, introduce a few of the guides I work with, including Moe, Susan, and Karen, and explain why your guides are not here to give you answers, but to offer guidance and support. We also discuss an important truth: everyone receives information from their guides differently. There is no cookie-cutter way your guides have to appear, communicate, or work with you. Your experience is unique, and learning your own language with your guides matters. I share two common reasons people struggle to receive clear messages from their Guides: not listening to the small nudges first, and constantly waiting for more signs while missing the guidance already in front of them. If you want to better understand Spirit Guides, higher self, and how to trust the information you receive, this episode is for you. And next week, we're diving into a big question: why do your guides sometimes seem to give you the "wrong information"?

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to know when it's time to start charging for your spiritual practices and offerings. This is something so many people get stuck in. Either waiting too long or jumping in before they feel ready. There is a natural progression to this work, and I walk you through what that actually looks like along with my suggestions with how to move to paid services. We talk about building up to a one hour session, mastering the client experience, and developing confidence in what that hour holds to develop a polished service. From there, I get into the transition into paid services and what it really takes to feel comfortable charging for your work. Because the truth is, if you are not at that stage yet, you are not confident enough to be charging. I also share the signs that it might be time. When people start offering to pay you, referring others to you, or when you no longer want to continue offering sessions for free. Next episode, we're continuing this conversation and getting into how to find paying clients and grow your clientele once you start charging. There will be no new episode on April 15 and the podcast will be back on April 22. _______________ Are you a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner ready to take your skills to the next level?

This week's episode is one of the strangest experiences I've had in my work and something I'm still trying to fully understand. A client came in for a session and the moment I saw his name, I recognized it. When he arrived, I greeted him like I already knew him. It felt natural and familiar, like we had met before. I even asked him when I had last seen him. But, according to my system, he had no previous appointments, and when I asked him, he told me we had never met. That's when things took a turn. I couldn't snap out of it. For the entire hour session, it felt like I was remembering something that didn't actually happen. Not like typical déjà vu where something feels familiar for a moment, but like a full memory. I I knew why he was there, I knew details about his life, and when I shared what I was getting, his response was, "we've never met before". In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happened, what it felt like in my body, how it impacted the session, and the questions it has brought up for me since. This is part one of a series because this wasn't an isolated incident. There have been other experiences happening that I can't fully explain yet, and i'll be sharing more in part 2. If you've ever had a moment where something felt like a memory but didn't make logical sense, this episode will likely resonate in a way you don't expect. In 8 years, I have never had something like this happen before. Are you a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner ready to take your skills to the next level?

In this episode, I'm sharing a story from early in my career about a moment when I completely stuck my foot in my mouth while sharing psychic information. It happened during an Instagram Live when I said that I felt someone would be having a baby soon. What I meant by "soon" and what the person hearing it understood were two very different things. Months later, I received a very strongly worded email about how this message gave her false hope, as she was not yet pregnant. I learned a very important lesson from this that I will never forget. Timing is one of the most difficult parts of psychic information. Words like "soon" can mean very different things depending on who is hearing them and what expectations they attach to that word. In this episode, I talk about why timing can be so tricky in intuitive work and why I personally choose to be very careful when it comes to speaking about fertility or timelines. Experiences like this shaped how I approach my work today and taught me the importance of being thoughtful with the way intuitive information is delivered. I always want to share the good, the bad, and the ugly lessons I've learned over the years. And while the situation felt very uncomfortable at the time, it ultimately had a very happy ending. Tune in to hear the full story and the unexpected way this situation eventually came full circle. _______ Are you a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner ready to take your skills to the next level?

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.

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.

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.

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!

The holidays can also feel overwhelming when you are sensitive to energy, emotions, and environments. In this episode, I share three simple but powerful reminders to support you through holiday gatherings and the busy holiday season. We talk about navigating crowds without absorbing everything around you, staying grounded during family events, and how to clear your energy regularly. I also share practical reminders for boundaries, both energetic and personal, and how to actually rest and fall asleep more easily, even during a busy season. Your sensitivity is not something to push through or ignore, especially at this time of year. However, there are a lot of tools to help you feeling "normal" while you are out celebrating. I also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the Middlers! Another year of podcasting, sharing, listening, business and community would not be possible without you. Your messages, reviews, and support mean more than you know, and I am deeply grateful to be here with you. Thank you for an amazing 2025!!!
