I have to be honest with you about my mom...

Hi everyone,

Today I want to talk about something that was very easy for me to talk about before my mom died last December.

A lot of people ask me, "Mia, how do you know your mom is around you? How do you feel her?"

And I have to tell you the truth. For a long time after she passed, I didn't. When I sat with her in her final moments, I felt nothing. She took her last breath, and that was it. I was so disappointed. Here I am, a medium for 30 years, and I couldn't feel my own mother.

The Lie We Tell Ourselves

When you start your development, you are so open, so curious. You feel everything. I remember when I started, I would just think of the spirit world, and I could feel a pressure on my head and think, "Oh, they're here!"

It took me years to realize it wasn't the spirit world creating that feeling. It was me. It was my own mind's way of tuning in.

The longer you do this work, the more you get used to the energy, and the less you "feel." You don't lose the connection; you become one with it. You just know. But my ego, the human part of me, wanted to feel my mom. I wanted to go back 30 years in my development to that time when the feelings were so strong.

The Moment She Came Through

It took me a while, but she did come through. Not in the way I expected, but in her own way, with her own funny, sharp words. And then again, in a moment of pure love at her memorial place with my son.

This journey is so personal. When people come to me after losing a child, I feel the pressure so much because I want to do such a good job for them. It is a huge responsibility we carry. I think many mediums give up not because they aren't good, but because the pressure and the self-doubt become too much.

I wanted to share this whole story with you, from my heart. It's about my journey with my mom, my dad, and why, after 30 years, this work is still like heaven and hell for me sometimes.

I hope this helps you understand that we are all on this path together, with our own doubts and our own grief. And even when we don't feel them, they are always, always there.
