You were trained to get the name.
The relationship.
The cause of death.
But if that’s where your reading ends, you’re missing the part that actually matters.
In this episode, Courtney breaks down why evidence is just the entry point—not the purpose—and how to follow Spirit’s energy into emotional truth, healing, and connection.
Whether you’re newly developing or years in, this conversation will reframe your understanding of what real mediumship is for—and how to let the message land with power, depth, and heart.
01:35 – Why identifying the communicator isn’t the point of mediumship
04:25 – How emotional truth gets lost when you stay stuck in the facts
07:40 – What Spirit actually wants to say (and why most mediums miss it)
11:10 – When the link shifts or the power drops—what to do
13:55 – Asking Spirit: “Why did you come through?”
16:45 – Why some communicators won’t “speak clearly”
19:30 – Reminiscing as evidence—how shared memory brings connection
23:05 – Absorbing energy vs. blending emotionally—how to tell the difference
26:15 – Navigating trauma and difficult messages with integrity
30:00 – Why your psychic senses aren’t separate from mediumship
33:10 – Letting go of performance so Spirit can actually lead
