Hi everyone,

I just posted a new video — and I wanted to share the heart of it with you here too.

Because honestly? I think it's a conversation every medium should be having. And most of us aren't.

How many of you have been to a medium hoping they'll give you the answer on your life?

A lot of you, I think. And a lot of people scream up to the spirit world too. "What do I do? Please help me. Give me a sign. Is this the right man? Is this the right house? Is this the right job?"

And then they book a medium to make the call for them.

I'll be honest with you — after 30 years on the road, that is not our job.

We are here to help you help yourself. Spirit isn't going to tell you what to do with your life. They're not going to take decisions for you. Not at all.

You have to work your life out. You have to ask yourself what you actually want.

So if I'm not running to another medium — what do I do instead?

I listen inwardly. I listen to my own soul. My own spirit.

That's my compass in life today.

When you are truly in touch with your soul, you don't need someone else to tell you which way to turn. Your soul has all the knowledge it needs. It's in contact with the universe — with the creation. And when you tap into it, it'll point you in the direction you're meant to go.

What stops us from listening?

In my experience, one thing. Fear.

Our animal instinct loves safety and comfort. It doesn't like change. So when life nudges us toward something unfamiliar, fear shows up — and most of us listen to fear instead of the soul.

But every single change I've been through in my life — every one of them — has turned out for the better. Even when I was nervous on the way through it. Even when I had anxiety.

To grow as a person isn't comfortable. Not at all.

If we wanted a comfortable life, we'd just eat, sleep, work, and pretend everything is fine.

Today, when I feel fear — I usually walk straight into it.

I refuse to let it have a hold on me. I refuse to be a victim of it. And I'm proud of that, because it has been hard work. I work on my thought patterns every single day.

It isn't always easy. My dad is dying. And there's been a rollercoaster of guilt — am I sitting with him enough? Am I doing enough? Should I have stayed another hour?

Human beings are so good at feeling guilty. So good. It's almost bred into us.

But guilty feelings are manmade. They don't exist in the spirit world.

I keep coming back to something my dad said to me a few months ago, when I was sitting with him: "You still have your own life. Go out and live it."

I try to remember those words when the guilt comes.

And I try to remember them when I'm tempted to play small.

Here's why I'm writing this to you specifically — my newsletter family, most of you developing your mediumship.

Spirit can only take you so far if you don't look into yourself.

The more you know yourself, the easier it is to understand the energies coming through. To trust what's spirit and what's you. To follow the flow of this work without losing yourself in it.

It's so much easier — and so much nicer — when you're comfortable in your own skin.

So that's my message this week. Stop running to other mediums for the answer. Sit with yourself. Listen inwardly. Walk into the fear. Trust your own soul.

You already have the compass.

I shared the whole story on video — including the years I spent at a job that gave me anxiety every single day, and what Lyme disease took from me. If you want the full version, it's here.

While I have you — a small heads up about Journey with Mia.

We're making some changes, and I want you to hear it from me first.

We've moved fully to yearly memberships now. No more monthly. We're tidying things up, simplifying, and putting all of our energy into making the community deeper, richer, and more useful for you.

And here's the part I'm most excited about: very soon, you'll be able to try the full community free for a whole month. Not just one session like before. A whole month. To attend the live classes. To be in the energy of the group. To really feel whether this is for you.

This includes you even if you've tried a free session in the past. We're starting fresh. Everyone gets a real month.

(One small note — you'll only be able to register once. So when the new offer goes live, take it. After that, the door closes.)

And we're adding more on the yearly side too. Discounted perks. More benefits. And one I'm especially excited about exploring — the chance for yearly members to demonstrate alongside me at some of my in-person events when the timing is right.

Some of you may remember I floated this idea a little while back. So many of you replied. And I've been quietly designing what it could look like.

I'll have all the details for you in a separate email very soon. Watch your inbox.

In the meantime, you can see what's already inside the community at start.journeywithmia.com.

One More Thing

Thank you for being here. For reading. For walking this work alongside me — through the heavy days and the lighter ones.

Take care of yourselves this week. Listen to your soul. Walk into your fear.

You know more than you think you do.

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
//Mia
