What happens when the messages we want from our departed loved ones aren't the messages they choose to deliver? This profound question lies at the heart of authentic mediumship, where expectations and spiritual reality often collide in unexpected ways.
During a recent Mediumship Mastermind session focused on message delivery, spirit took over—as they always do—steering our conversation toward the complex dynamics between what clients expect and what spirit provides. As mediums, we often find ourselves in a delicate position: we can sense exactly what our clients desperately want to hear, yet our responsibility is solely to transmit the authentic communication from spirit, regardless of whether it satisfies those expectations.
My own journey illustrates this perfectly. Years ago, before discovering my mediumship abilities, I visited a talented medium hoping for clear guidance about a career decision. Instead of the direct answer I craved, I received what seemed like an unhelpful "everything will be fine" message. Looking back now, I laugh at how profound that message truly was—it genuinely didn't matter which immediate path I chose because my soul was destined for this metaphysical work regardless. What I needed wasn't career advice but proof of life's continuation, and that's precisely what I received through evidential details about departed family members.
Throughout our mastermind discussion, we explored the challenging situations mediums face: when clients need healing that departed loved ones seem unwilling to provide; when spirits refuse to apologize because they see the situation from a higher perspective; when painful experiences are revealed as chosen soul contracts. In one profound example, spirit showed me a client's situation as an intricate spider web—where changing one thread might collapse the entire structure of their spiritual journey. These are the deep truths we often can't share directly with clients without sounding insensitive, yet they represent the greater wisdom spirit operates from.
Whether you're a developing medium or someone seeking connection with loved ones beyond the veil, I challenge you to approach messages with openness rather than rigid expectations. Trust that what comes through is exactly what's needed for your highest growth, even when it doesn't immediately make sense from our limited human perspective. Have you received a message that only made sense years later? I'd love to hear your story at podcast@mediumnicole.com.
