"You will never be able to make it by yourself."

My mum said that to me when I was moving out for the first time. "You're not strong enough, Mia. You need us."

I didn't realize it at the time, but those tiny little words shaped my entire adult life.

I made a promise to myself right then: I would never ask for help. Never. I'd prove I was strong. I'd put on the big brave mask and pretend I knew it all.

And I suffered in silence for decades.

It wasn't until two years ago that I finally asked for help for the first time in my entire life.

Today I realized my mum probably needed me more than I needed them. I was breaking free, and that scared her.

But you don't realize how tiny little words from your childhood—especially in your teenage years—shape your whole future as an adult.

There's not one human being in this world who doesn't have issues from their indoctrination. Even if we're not aware of it at the time, it shapes us quite a lot over the years.

And for the longest time, I was terrified to look at this. Because what if I looked into my own soul and found out I was an ugly person?

Stupid, right? Because that's when I saw the beauty in me.

But if you don't have knowledge that the soul is beautiful—that it's pure, the spark of your life—it's very easy to think you're a bad person.

As mediums, we're trained in a certain way: You don't ask questions. You're in charge. You just deliver. All you get from the recipient is yes, no, or I don't know.

It's great for evidential work. But for years, if a client started talking to me or asking questions, I felt GUILTY. Like I wasn't doing my job properly.

Then something shifted.

I started doing what I call "intimate readings"—sessions where we have discussions. They tell me what they're going through, and we talk about it while I keep my mind open to spirit and read their energy.

I'm not telling them "you are like this and this because these colors talk to me." We're having a real conversation.

And honestly? Sometimes they get MORE from this than a traditional reading.

When someone talks back to me, I can sense things I'd miss in a one-way delivery:

I can trigger that. Talk about it. Get beyond it—instead of wasting 15 minutes trying to get there through a spiritual assessment.

Back in the day, I'd have clients who just wanted to come and talk. Because I was the only one who would listen and understand. No one in their family was hearing them.

They'd leave over the moon. And I'd feel guilty because I thought I didn't do my work.

But they got what they needed most: to be SEEN. To be HEARD.

After thousands of readings, I learned something crucial: when you do this work—when you see the light in everybody—you stop being so judgmental.

You see the POTENTIAL. You see WHY they struggle instead of just thinking "for God's sake, pull yourself together."

I never complained my whole life. I suffered in silence. Everybody thought I was the strongest, happiest woman in the world.

I was quite miserable, actually, suffering from spiritual depression.

But through this work, I learned to use my experience—all the tiny words from my mum, my grandparents, my indoctrination—to sense when someone else has similar patterns.

Then it becomes a deeper discussion. How did I learn from it? How did I move on? How can they?

I wish I could have had someone I could do this with during my development. Someone who would see ME—not just assess my mediumship and tell me how brilliant I am, but actually know:

Why am I so insecure in certain areas? Why do I judge myself so much? Is it from childhood? Upbringing? A partnership?

Most of the time, we're not even aware of our indoctrination. We're just moving along in life.

I offer Personal Guidance Sessions—90-minute one-on-one sessions where we discuss what YOU'RE going through. I remain open to spirit for inspiring messages, but this isn't a typical private sitting.

It's for people who:

Book a Personal Session → - for 90 minutes

These sessions are held under professional secrecy. You briefly describe your needs when booking, and we dive deep into what you actually need—not what I think you should hear.

I think everybody who embarks on this journey should give themselves a tap on the shoulder. Because it takes courage to look into yourself. It takes courage to be yourself.

And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is ask for help.

It only took me 50+ years to learn that.

P.S. - You can always reply to this email with your thoughts or questions. I read every message and respond personally. Your presence in this community means everything to me. 💜

Much love to you all
