Boundaries are essential—even in the spirit world. As a medium, I'm frequently asked if I constantly see dead people floating around me. The answer surprises most: no, spirits aren't bombarding me 24/7. They respect my energy and personal space, typically only appearing when I'm actively working with clients.
This boundary-setting is crucial for my wellbeing. Connecting with spirit requires significant energy, and if they constantly demanded my attention, I'd have nothing left for my family, self-care, or simply living my life. My late discovery of mediumship abilities wasn't accidental—it reflects my purpose to bring a grounded, skeptical perspective to this metaphysical work rather than living permanently between worlds.
Popular media perpetuates misconceptions about mediums being constantly "open." Shows depicting psychics approaching strangers in grocery stores are largely staged (imagine the liability of putting unsuspecting people on TV!). The reality is far more nuanced and controlled. However, exceptions do occur—like my recent facial appointment that unexpectedly turned into a spiritual encounter. Without actively seeking connections, I found myself receiving messages from my esthetician's departed grandmother, grandfather, and eventually her guardian angels. The experience felt divinely orchestrated, reminding me that when spirits do break through my boundaries, it's for a significant purpose.
These rare boundary-crossing moments reveal an important truth: there are no coincidences. When someone genuinely needs spiritual messages, my guides find ways to place me in their path. Though ethical lines can sometimes blur, I've learned to trust these divine appointments. So while I'm not constantly talking to dead people, I recognize that when they do appear unexpectedly, someone needed to hear exactly what they had to say. That's the delicate balance of mediumship—maintaining healthy boundaries while remaining open to those moments when breaking them serves a higher purpose.
