Ep. 293 - How to Tell the Difference Between Your Energy and Other People's Energy
Medium in the Middle PodcastShow Notes
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, Stephanie explores how the body can send us signs and alarm bells that we may ignore until we are ready to listen. Through the story of a client’s 30-year cough, she shares how something we have normalized for years can invite deeper curiosity when the timing is right.
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. Through stories from real readings, she shares how learning to simply “deliver the mail” can help you trust what comes through, even when it doesn’t make sense yet.
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.
Is it lucky girl syndrome, or are you just listening to your intuition? This week, I’m sharing how I use my intuition in everyday decisions, from booking flights and catching ferries to knowing when I need a backup plan and when I can trust that things will work out. We’re talking about learning your own intuitive manual so you can recognize your yes, your no, your red lights, your green lights, and everything in between.
