Ever caught yourself believing you need the perfect conditions to connect with spirit? That meticulously arranged desk, precise lighting, and absolute silence might actually be holding you back from your full potential as a spiritual reader.
This summer shattered my carefully constructed reality when circumstances forced me to conduct readings from my tiny 600-square-foot lake house with kids making popcorn in the background and family members wandering in and out. What began as a stress-inducing nightmare evolved into a profound spiritual lesson that fundamentally changed how I approach mediumship.
The turning point came during a mediumship demonstration for 50 people while eight family members bustled around my postage-stamp lake property. Despite what I would have once considered nightmare conditions, I delivered what felt like my strongest reading ever—names flowed, specific evidence landed powerfully, and emotional connections formed effortlessly. In that moment of beautiful chaos, I realized how my need for control had been constricting the very magic I was trying to channel.
The energy of different spaces profoundly impacts our readings. My lake house, with its vacation vibes and proximity to natural elements, carries a higher vibration than my work-associated home office. This discovery illuminated why some practitioners prefer phone readings—they're free to connect from energetically powerful locations without concern for visual professionalism.
If you're ready to expand your spiritual abilities, I challenge you to step beyond your comfort zone. Try reading in new locations, embrace a bit of uncertainty, and watch how spirit shows up regardless of your surroundings. The problem isn't the space—it's our need for control that limits what's possible. Trust the connection, release your grip on perfect conditions, and open yourself to the unexpected synchronicities that await.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back to Empower your Soul Car Channeling
Edition.
And I'm actually really excitedto be in the car channeling
this conversation today, becauseI want to talk about the
benefits of reading in differentlocations.
And I'm not talking aboutdemonstrations, because those
generally have to happen indifferent locations, especially
(00:22):
the, obviously, the in-personones.
But I'm talking about yourspiritual readings because, if
you're anything like me, I am ahuge creature of habit and I
like to be in my environment, inmy office, with my lighting.
A certain way, I like thespecific lights on, I like my
(00:42):
desk clear, I like my housequiet, right.
A lot of times in the winter orthree quarters of the year,
I'll have a heater under my butt, because I don't even
physically like to be cold whenI do these readings.
And so I control the shit outof my environment for my
readings so that I'm minimizingmy distractions to enable me to
(01:08):
be the best medium, the bestspiritual reader, whatever the
title is that I can be, and myteam over the course of the
summer has called me out thatthis is a crock of shit.
So I thought I would enlightenyou all on this journey where my
(01:29):
team is enlightening me thattrying to control my environment
has absolutely no bearingwhatsoever on my ability to read
spirit.
It is my freaking problem as acontrol freak.
That makes me feel better andkeeps my ego in check.
That is all this is.
(01:49):
So let's talk about thisabsolute chaotic summer that
I've had and how I've had tonavigate, reading in so many
different places but also, atthe same time, finding huge
benefits to getting out of myphysical comfort zone.
And so I'm going to bring youback way back to the beginning
(02:13):
of the summer.
It was week one out of school.
It was about a hundred degrees.
It was like it was the firstheat wave of the summer.
It was way too hot to send mykids to their typical outdoor
summer camp, and so we allpacked up our stuff, schlepped
it out to our little lake house,our 600 square foot bungalow
(02:34):
thing, and I had to do severalreadings that week I mean
several way more than I was.
I was comfortable with in thistiny 600 square foot house.
That, mind you, is a livingroom, a kitchen with a dining
room table in it and two tinybedrooms.
Like it.
(02:55):
It's tiny, it's 600 square feet.
Like you can't breathe withoutsomeone hearing you.
That's literally the space.
And so in this first week I wasfreaking the fuck out that I was
going to try to do clientreadings with my two kids there
and I literally had the pep talkwith them.
I'm like you're going to bequiet, you can't say a word, you
(03:16):
can't walk, you can't get up.
Here's your iPad, here areheadphones.
Don't talk, don't say nothing,right?
So because I couldn't control my, I felt so uncomfortable doing
readings at my lake housebecause it is not what I was
used to.
I was used to my office.
I was used to not having peoplehome.
(03:36):
I'm used to having it quiet,right, not having my physical
space, having all of mymetaphysical tools all around me
, instead of this tiny asskitchen and sitting at this very
uncomfortable dining room tablewhere I physically felt
uncomfortable.
I felt energeticallyuncomfortable and certainly I
(03:58):
was kind of partially in mommode with my kids in the house.
And so how did the readings go?
They went great.
It was fine Once I was able toconnect to spirit, I was able to
kind of get out of my head andget out of my own way and it was
fine.
But it did take me I'll behonest with you a little bit
longer to connect in thebeginning because I was not
comfortable with the currentreading situations.
(04:19):
I did not want to do my clientsdisservice, so I wanted to make
sure I controlled everything Icould in this new environment.
Now, what I found was, when Itried to replicate my home
environment which I sure as fucktried really hard to do in this
(04:41):
tiny square foot house do inthis tiny square foot house it
was even more stressful, right,because I was essentially trying
to make it better.
But by trying to pay attentionto what was off, I was paying
more attention to it.
And so it was like even worsethan if I just, like set it up
and didn't worry about it.
And I know that sounds a littleodd, but it was like amplifying
(05:04):
the energy that it wasn't whatI expected by paying attention
to it.
And so, you know, those readingswent well.
It gave me hope that I couldprobably do this, and it
happened a few more times overthe course of the summer.
You know I got I finally got tothe point where the kids could
kind of walk around a little bitwhile I was still doing the
(05:26):
reading and I would get a littledistracted.
But it really wasn't that badDid a few channeling practices
with with friends and clientsand everything like that.
And so every time I read at thecamp because the kids are
always there while the kids werethere, because the kids are
always there while the kids werethere it got easier and easier
(05:46):
and easier to not be distractedby them and distracted by the
environment.
That didn't feel as comfortablefor me.
I was getting more comfortablein my space, but not only that
as it got easier and easier andeasier for me, I started
noticing more in the environmentaround me.
That was part of my readings.
So, to give an example is,while I was doing a reading, a
(06:16):
dragonfly came and landed on mycomputer one day and I was like
there's a dragonfly thatliterally just landed on my
computer and that was a sign,the sign from their departed
loved one that they associatewith this person.
And so I and I have, you know,birds in the background making
noises and birds right, so I'mable to start picking up
(06:39):
environmental signs and symbolsthat spirit is sending me, like
physical mediumship, things thatallow me to expand my mindset,
my skill set, my reading andinvite a little more magic in
from spirit.
And I'll tell you what everytime I noticed these things.
It landed with my client andthey understood it.
(07:00):
They were able to take it, andso spirit was really slowly
opening me up to this idea thatwhen I control the environment
just like all of us witheverything when we try to
control anything with spirit,we're constricting the
possibility of more magic.
And so they really, reallypushed me way the fuck outside
(07:24):
of the box this entire summer,because my kids have never been
home as much as they have now,which is why I literally am just
driving in the car to do thesepodcast episodes because I'm
going to pull my hair out, andso spirit's showing me.
I don't need to be stressedabout this, because I am able to
show up and read spirit inevery environment.
(07:46):
I need to get out of my ownhead and out of my own way with
it, and I think I'm so in myhead about this because the last
job I had am so in my headabout this, because the last job
I had, you had to be on videoevery single meeting, and it was
a very meeting heavy culturewhere I was on video from 8 am
(08:11):
until 5 pm every single day, andso with that came the
expectation of you have a nicebackground set up.
You look fresh and you lookhappy, right, you're sitting up
in your chair, you haveappropriate lighting, and so I
(08:31):
keep approaching my fuckingreadings like I'm walking into a
corporate meeting witheverything crystal clean and
clear in the background, and Ithink there is a level of
professionalism that is needed.
I'll give you that.
But I don't think my clientscare whether I'm sitting in my
office or I'm sitting on my dockat the lake house, so long as
(08:52):
I'm showing up and beingprofessional and serving their
reading to the best of myability, and not only that, not
only the magic that comes inbeing in these different
environments, so long as it'squiet and you can focus and I'm
going to leave that there.
I read so much better at my lakehouse, and I think this is the
(09:15):
second half that I wanted totalk about is because the energy
of different places impactsyour reading, and the energy of
my house is the energy.
I don't even know what to sayabout the energy of my house.
It just is what it is.
I think it's steady, I thinkthere's good days and bad days
there, but generally it's verypredictable.
(09:35):
I learned my mediumship there.
I can do that, but in terms ofthe lake house, which has the
four elements there because it'snext to the lake, right, we
have fire.
I usually light a candle.
So fire, earth, water, windright, I have the four elements
there my lake house energy feelsfucking magical, right, I'm not
(09:59):
.
It's not a place where I'vetaken corporate calls and
meetings, it's not a place wheremy husband also works, right,
and so there is a differentenergy vibration to my lake
house that is much higherfrequency than my regular house.
And if you just like, even ifyou don't understand frequency,
(10:21):
I want you to think of when yougo to places that are vacation
destinations, right, when you goto a lake house, when you go to
a beach house, when you go toDisney World in Florida, like,
okay, there's a lot of people,generally, that's a whole other
thing, but those energies tendto be higher vibration, they're
(10:42):
more exciting.
People are happy to be there,people are joyous that they get
to celebrate and have time offand be with their family, and so
that is the vibration of thelake house because it is higher
vibration, because we go thereto have fun, we go there to
spend time with family and we gothere to do all of these
amazing things, and so,naturally, combining the four
(11:03):
elements with all of the energyof joy and happiness and love
makes it a much better place forme to do my readings, even
though it looks a little lessprofessional in the background.
And so my lovely friend slashmentor like buddy, I don't even
(11:25):
know what to call her, but myamazing spiritual guru is the
first one to always say well,did you pay for looks or did you
pay for quality?
And I'm like fuck you.
You know, like, isn't it truethough, isn't it?
Fuck you?
And again, I think there's aminimum threshold, a minimum
level, that it should be right.
(11:45):
I don't think you should bereading in your bedroom, right,
or on your bed.
Maybe that's the way I want toput it, but I'm going to, I'm
going to challenge you.
Where are some different placesyou can schlep your laptop,
your iPad, your iPhone to dopractice readings, to, to read
(12:05):
with clients, and maybe don't,don't throw yourself to the
wolves Like, maybe, like, dosome practice readings in these
different locations to get usedto it first.
But I want you to see howsuccessful you can be.
I want you to realize howspirit shows up, no matter what.
It's you that has the problemwith the different space.
It's your brain, it's your ego,it's you wanting to control the
(12:29):
situation and spirit literallysaying trust us, we're here.
And so I've done that thisentire summer, moving back and
forth, bringing the laptop backand forth to different houses.
God, I even think I've done acouple practice sessions in my
car just because I needed thefucking quiet, and so this all
(12:52):
culminated into a demonstrationthat I did this last weekend on
a Sunday, in the middle of theday, and I'll tell you who's
here.
So this is at the lake house,600 square feet like postage
stamp yard.
Okay, so had my husband, had mytwo kids, my son, had a friend
(13:15):
over, so now there's four otherpeople there besides me.
Um, if my in-laws showed up,add four more people, right?
So now you're talking abouteight people there, and there
were eight people there, and Iwas presenting in a
demonstration to 50 people, waspresenting in a demonstration to
(13:42):
50 people, literally, me on mylaptop, I, I stacked.
I stacked my laptop on top ofthe cube.
It's like a game, I don't knowStocked it on top of the cube so
that it had a nice little angleand it was looking down.
You know cause the camera anglematters everybody and I was
able to do the best reading Ihave ever done, the best
mediumship demonstration I haveever done in this house, with
(14:07):
eight people outside, kidsscreaming, kids coming in, kids
like making popcorn in themiddle of this fucking
demonstration, coming in, usingthe bathroom, and I was so in my
zone and undisturbed byeverything around me and I was
getting names and I was gettingfucking amazing evidence and I
(14:32):
was making you know this womancry like could, can I?
I'm going to give myself a paton the back because I tell all
of my mediums to do it, all ofmy students to do it.
I'm fucking proud of myself.
I showed up.
I heard a name.
I heard grandma that feels likea mom died in her.
What was it?
(14:52):
Mid sixties cancer lost all herhair, Like I, every like.
The evidence that I was able topull in the midst of all this
chaos was ridiculous and maybethat's the point.
Ridiculous and maybe that's thepoint.
(15:12):
Maybe that's the whole point ofthis, because when I'm so
focused on controllingeverything around me, I'm also
controlling my brain and theaccess to what can be amazing,
fucking evidence and instead,when I just open up and let it
flow.
It all fucking comes in, it allcomes in.
(15:36):
And so I think this is why alot of people, a lot of mediums
that I see I never reallyunderstood it, but I think I get
it now do phone-only readings.
I never really understood it,but I think I get it now Do
phone only readings, because ifI'm doing phone only readings, I
could be giving you a readingright now.
Right, I don't think I would.
I don't know if that's ethicalAlthough, again, car channeling
(16:00):
it's amazing but I could.
I could decide to go to thebeach and give you a reading.
Right, I can go and sit in mynine acres of land, sit in like
the giant meadow in my nineacres of land, and just put my
butt there.
Oh, my God, I'm just driving bya Fox.
Oh my God, it's a Fox.
I love car channeling.
Everybody was a Fox.
(16:20):
I love Foxes.
Um, sorry, I'm super distracted.
It's like my favorite animaland that's what magic can happen
.
Everybody, I don't evenremember what I was just saying.
Okay, I can go and just be inthe middle of the forest seeing
(16:43):
a fox and know that fox is yourspirit animal.
Right, like, this is what I'mtalking about and so like, how
cool would it be to do phonereadings and go hike a mountain
and do the reading at the top ofa mountain, right?
Maybe I need to start offeringthis, because I think trying to
maybe this is my new thing Iwant to test out.
I want to shut down my ego andmy brain as much as possible in
(17:08):
these readings, because everytime I try to do something from
an ego-centered perspective itdoesn't end well for my reading.
I mean, my readings are alwaysokay, good, great.
But even still, as aprofessional medium, people's
(17:29):
faces when I'm looking at themin the Zoom call can throw me
off.
Because we're human, everybody,because we're human, they give
me that little furrowed brow andI'm like fuck, that made no
sense, crap, let me go back andlook at that evidence.
Let me say it differently,because I can clearly see on
(17:50):
their face it didn't land right.
Who doesn't do that?
Every medium does that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So I guess that's my challengeand also apparently your spirit
animal fox's challenge as well,is where can you challenge
yourself and challenge yourpatterns in readings to make you
(18:17):
uncomfortable so that you grow?
How's that?
Do you like that?
I like that.
I'm going to do the same too,because I think it's going to be
hugely beneficial hugelybeneficial for me and I think
it's going to be hugelybeneficial for you too.
So give it a go, getuncomfortable, see what you
(18:38):
learn and you can always go backto the comfort, but see what
you learn from it, becausethere's a reason you've listened
to this podcast.
And so go, challenge yourself,get uncomfortable and grow.
Sending you off and I hope youhave a lovely day.
Take care.

So because I couldn't control my, I felt so uncomfortable doing

But it really wasn't that badDid a few channeling practices
with with friends and clientsand everything like that.
And so every time I read at thecamp because the kids are
always there while the kids werethere, because the kids are
always there while the kids werethere it got easier and easier
(05:46):
and easier to not be distractedby them and distracted by the

That didn't feel as comfortablefor me.
I was getting more comfortablein my space, but not only that

And if you just like, even ifyou don't understand frequency,
(10:21):

And so my lovely friend slashmentor like buddy, I don't even
(11:25):
know what to call her, but myamazing spiritual guru is the
first one to always say well,did you pay for looks or did you
pay for quality?
And I'm like fuck you.
You know, like, isn't it truethough, isn't it?
Fuck you?
And again, I think there's aminimum threshold, a minimum
level, that it should be right.
(11:45):
I don't think you should bereading in your bedroom, right,
or on your bed.
Maybe that's the way I want toput it, but I'm going to, I'm
going to challenge you.
Where are some different placesyou can schlep your laptop,
your iPad, your iPhone to dopractice readings, to, to read
(12:05):
with clients, and maybe don't,don't throw yourself to the
wolves Like, maybe, like, dosome practice readings in these
different locations to get usedto it first.
But I want you to see howsuccessful you can be.
I want you to realize howspirit shows up, no matter what.
It's you that has the problemwith the different space.
It's your brain, it's your ego,it's you wanting to control the
(12:29):
situation and spirit literallysaying trust us, we're here.
And so I've done that thisentire summer, moving back and
forth, bringing the laptop backand forth to different houses.
God, I even think I've done acouple practice sessions in my
car just because I needed thefucking quiet, and so this all
(12:52):
culminated into a demonstrationthat I did this last weekend on
a Sunday, in the middle of theday, and I'll tell you who's
here.
So this is at the lake house,600 square feet like postage
stamp yard.
Okay, so had my husband, had mytwo kids, my son, had a friend
(13:15):
over, so now there's four otherpeople there besides me.
Um, if my in-laws showed up,add four more people, right?
So now you're talking abouteight people there, and there
were eight people there, and Iwas presenting in a
demonstration to 50 people, waspresenting in a demonstration to
(13:42):
50 people, literally, me on mylaptop, I, I stacked.
I stacked my laptop on top ofthe cube.
It's like a game, I don't knowStocked it on top of the cube so
that it had a nice little angleand it was looking down.
You know cause the camera anglematters everybody and I was
able to do the best reading Ihave ever done, the best
mediumship demonstration I haveever done in this house, with
(14:07):
eight people outside, kidsscreaming, kids coming in, kids
like making popcorn in themiddle of this fucking
demonstration, coming in, usingthe bathroom, and I was so in my
zone and undisturbed byeverything around me and I was
getting names and I was gettingfucking amazing evidence and I
(14:32):
was making you know this womancry like could, can I?
I'm going to give myself a paton the back because I tell all
of my mediums to do it, all ofmy students to do it.
I'm fucking proud of myself.
I showed up.
I heard a name.
I heard grandma that feels likea mom died in her.
What was it?
(14:52):
Mid sixties cancer lost all herhair, Like I, every like.
The evidence that I was able topull in the midst of all this
chaos was ridiculous and maybethat's the point.
Ridiculous and maybe that's thepoint.
(15:12):
Maybe that's the whole point ofthis, because when I'm so
focused on controllingeverything around me, I'm also
controlling my brain and theaccess to what can be amazing,
fucking evidence and instead,when I just open up and let it
flow.
It all fucking comes in, it allcomes in.
(15:36):
And so I think this is why alot of people, a lot of mediums
that I see I never reallyunderstood it, but I think I get
it now do phone-only readings.
I never really understood it,but I think I get it now Do
phone only readings, because ifI'm doing phone only readings, I
could be giving you a readingright now.
Right, I don't think I would.
I don't know if that's ethicalAlthough, again, car channeling
(16:00):
it's amazing but I could.
I could decide to go to thebeach and give you a reading.
Right, I can go and sit in mynine acres of land, sit in like
the giant meadow in my nineacres of land, and just put my
butt there.
Oh, my God, I'm just driving bya Fox.
Oh my God, it's a Fox.
I love car channeling.
Everybody was a Fox.
(16:20):
I love Foxes.
Um, sorry, I'm super distracted.
It's like my favorite animaland that's what magic can happen
.
Everybody, I don't evenremember what I was just saying.
Okay, I can go and just be inthe middle of the forest seeing
(16:43):
a fox and know that fox is yourspirit animal.
Right, like, this is what I'mtalking about and so like, how
cool would it be to do phonereadings and go hike a mountain
and do the reading at the top ofa mountain, right?
Maybe I need to start offeringthis, because I think trying to
maybe this is my new thing Iwant to test out.
I want to shut down my ego andmy brain as much as possible in
(17:08):
these readings, because everytime I try to do something from
an ego-centered perspective itdoesn't end well for my reading.
I mean, my readings are alwaysokay, good, great.
But even still, as aprofessional medium, people's
(17:29):
faces when I'm looking at themin the Zoom call can throw me
off.
Because we're human, everybody,because we're human, they give
me that little furrowed brow andI'm like fuck, that made no
sense, crap, let me go back andlook at that evidence.
Let me say it differently,because I can clearly see on
(17:50):
their face it didn't land right.
Who doesn't do that?
Every medium does that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So I guess that's my challengeand also apparently your spirit
animal fox's challenge as well,is where can you challenge
yourself and challenge yourpatterns in readings to make you
(18:17):
uncomfortable so that you grow?
How's that?
Do you like that?
I like that.
I'm going to do the same too,because I think it's going to be
hugely beneficial hugelybeneficial for me and I think
it's going to be hugelybeneficial for you too.
So give it a go, getuncomfortable, see what you
(18:38):
learn and you can always go backto the comfort, but see what
you learn from it, becausethere's a reason you've listened
to this podcast.
And so go, challenge yourself,get uncomfortable and grow.
Sending you off and I hope youhave a lovely day.
Take care.
