I am an intuitive medium, though I have not always been. I don’t remember having this ability as a child, I did not survive a near death experience, and I did not ever think I would ever step foot in this work. I awakened gradually, and after a long time resisting, Spirit finally gave me no choice but to pursue this, so I surrendered.
I worked in apparel design in San Francisco for over a decade, then moved to New York. Initially, I felt I was on an amazing upward trajectory until a string of disappointments and roadblocks made me question everything I built my identity on. Feeling lost and confused, I turned to intuitive healers who have helped me before. To my surprise, they told me I was always meant to be a healer, and that I could receive guidance from Spirit and help others.
I continued to apply for jobs in fashion, and on the side opened up to my abilities. I meditated regularly, read about energy and frequency, learned about the different ways to practice mediumship, and took intuitive development classes. The dream job in fashion never came, and I grew increasingly frustrated. On top of this I contracted a serious illness that kept me home for weeks, I felt I had hit rock bottom. Then one night, as I was talking to a friend on the phone, I heard a whisper in my ear. My friend’s mother, whom I had never met, passed away from cancer, and began to communicate with me. The whisper said “ask him about my cat Bailey.”
I asked him about it, and he validated it, saying that it was his mother’s cat. She then continued to give me other information that I could not have known. He asked how I knew all of these things and I did not know how to explain it. But it brought him comfort and I felt honored that she trusted me enough to make this connection. This moment blew the door wide open. I started seeing Spirit in my third eye. When I interacted with someone, I would see or feel or hear their loved ones on the other side trying to get my attention. I brought the messages through, and often they would be validated. I would also receive guidance around specific events in their life. It was exciting, and it was also nerve wracking.
I was afraid to face judgement going down this path. I questioned who the hell was I to guide people when I haven’t really figured everything out in my own life. Eventually, I learned that it was never about me, I am a channel, and the guidance comes from a source beyond me.
