Ep. 294 - Learning to Say Exactly What You Get in Mediumship

Medium in the Middle Podcast

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.
