Ep. 311 - 6 Years in Business: The Story Behind The Medium in the Middle
Medium in the Middle PodcastShow Notes
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!!!

This week, Stephanie explores the importance of detachment in mediumship and why you don’t always need immediate confirmation that the information you received was right.

This week, I’m sharing two mediumship stories that show how Spirit can sneak into the most ordinary moments through images, words, smells, and seemingly random details. From rose bushes to fire alarms, these experiences are a reminder to pay attention, because it’s rarely random.
