Hi everyone,

If you follow me on YouTube, you already know what's been going on.

My dad is in palliative care. I don't know how many days he has left.

It's been a couple of really tough years with both my parents being sick. My mum passed away in December 2024, and now my dad—my hero, the man who has been there for me my entire life—is on the same path.

I promised when I started my YouTube channel and this newsletter that I would be transparent with you. And that means it's not always going to be happy, wonderful, love-and-light stories. This is my life. And I'm too old to be ashamed of any of it.

Life is tough for everyone—regardless of whether you're a medium who deals with death all the time.

I'm at peace with the fact that my dad will reunite with my mum. That's been his wish for the whole year. He's been saying it over and over: "I want to go home to my wife." And I hope it won't take many more days before he can.

Yes, it's sad. But it's been even more sad to watch him suffer.

My Work Has Saved Me From Myself

I sat down and recorded a video about this—because I needed to say it out loud.

The night before, I had a total meltdown. Cried for what felt like an hour and a half in my husband's arms. Ugly crying. The kind where you can't stop.

And then I had to work. Three hours on Zoom with my Progressive Mediumship course.

Some people ask me: "How can you work, Mia?"

Honestly? My work has saved me so many times—from myself, from my grief, from my own darkness.

When I step into that little bubble of power, everything else falls away. My worries, my anxiety, my fears—they go to one side. And for those hours, I'm free. I feel the love from spirit. And when I come back, I have a little bit of distance. I'm not so raw anymore.

I'm not saying it works for everyone. But if something happens to you and you're a medium—don't be afraid to work through your pain. It might just be the healing you need.

I shared the whole story on video—raw and unfiltered. If you want to hear it, here it is.

And Then There's This Little One

Thank goodness for my work, my husband, my children—and this gorgeous little creature who is such a joy to have around.

She has no idea what's going on. She just wants cuddles and playtime. And sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Mysteriummässan On Sea

On a lighter note—I was on the Mysteriummässan on sea last weekend and it was so much fun.

I did a demonstration with my dear friend Elinor, including spirit art, and it was a great night. We also did a lot of double sittings with soul pictures using encaustic wax.

Nice food, good drinks, and some really good shows. It was exactly the kind of energy I needed right now.

Spring Is Here

Spring is in the air and I love it. Best season of them all.

Do I crave some sun after this long, dark winter? Oh yes.

So wherever you are—I hope you're enjoying it too. Get outside. Feel the warmth on your face. Let the light in.

Wishing you all the very best.
