Medium in the Middle Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
