Hi everyone,

I want to share something with you today that I think every developing medium needs to hear.

I recorded a video about it this week — and as I was teaching the same thing at my Progressive Mediumship course, I realised how much pain this one mistake has caused so many mediums over the years.

So let me give you the heart of it here.

The Biggest Mistake I See on Platform

You're standing on a platform. You open up. The spirit comes in.

"I have a lady here. She had pain in the chest. She was kind — but she could be sharp when she needed to."

Silence. Nobody takes it.

So what do most mediums do?

They pile on more evidence. "She had colon cancer. She was in hospital for two months." Still nothing. "She loved her kitchen. She loved her coffee. She had the radio on for the news."

Still nothing.

And by the time you've finished, you don't know what's real and what you made up. You walk off the platform wondering if you imagined the whole thing.

I did that for years.

And here's what nobody tells you — the audience doesn't know how mediumship works. They watch you piling on confident detail and they think every word is gospel. So they're terrified to say no in case they look stupid.

So nobody takes it. Even when it was right.

Go Back. Don't Push Forward.

When the room goes quiet on you — don't add more.

Go back.

Look at what you said first. The strongest impression. What was the relationship? The illness? The timeframe? What were you most sure about?

Then ask the audience again — softly. "If it wasn't your mum, would you understand someone who was like a mum? A stepmother, a mother-in-law, a grandmother who raised you?"

That tiny adjustment will get you the yes. And the moment you have the yes, the energy shifts. The room comes back to you. The spirit comes closer.

The contact is everything. Without it, all the evidence in the world is just noise.

And the relationship — go for the close ones. Mum, dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, grandparent, very good friend. Not the great-great-great-grandmother. Because when someone sits in your audience, who do they think about? The ones they've just lost. Not someone they never met. So make it easy for yourself. I always do.

And Here's the Bit That Changed Me

I don't trust myself in normal life. I really don't.

But when I'm working — when I've set the intention, when I'm standing there for spirit — I trust everything that pops into my mind. Every single thing.

Because I know my mind is doing everything in its power to help me. Not the opposite.

That trust took years to land. And it's why I love demonstrating today, when for many, many years, I had a hate-love relationship with it.

Yes — hate-love. I'll admit it.

Watch the Whole Thing

I went deeper on all of this in the video — the mistakes, the going-back, the "is it really mum or is it like-a-mum" trick, and why every no is the only way you ever grow.

If you're developing your mediumship, please go and watch it. This is one of the biggest shifts you can make in your platform work.
