Nobody tells you that stepping into who you are actually meant to be is going to cost you some people.

Nobody warns you that the deeper you go into your own growth, your own truth, your own light, the more some of the people you love the most are going to quietly start moving away from you.

And nobody prepares you for how much that is going to hurt.

In this episode Jenny Shanks gets honest about the part of spiritual awakening nobody...

You do not need a medium as much as you think you do.

And I mean that in the most loving way possible. Because your loved one in Spirit is not waiting for a medium to open a channel before reaching out to you. Spirit is already reaching out. Right now. Today. In the ordinary moments of your regular life.

In this episode I am breaking down exactly how Spirit is already trying to reach you, what is blocking most people from receiving those messages...

A psychic once told me I was going to marry a doctor. 

My husband is in construction.

And that story turned into this entire episode.

This week we're getting into one of the most misunderstood topics in this space: why predictions don't always come true, what free will actually does to a reading, and the real difference between mediumship and psychic work. Because they are not the same thing. And mixing them up has left a lot of people holding onto something they w...

The second most common question I get asked is this. Is my loved one in Spirit proud of me?

And underneath that question is something even more vulnerable. Did they see me? Were they there? Do they know what it actually cost me to make that choice, draw that line, let that thing go?

After ten years of sitting with Spirit the answer is always the same. Spirit was in the room. Spirit was there for every single moment you thought nobody was watching. And...

People always want to know what is happening on my side of the table during a reading. And nobody ever really answers it honestly.

In this episode I am taking you inside. The real version. The white doors that open every single time I close my eyes. The interview process I run with Spirit before I share a single detail with a client. The difference between filtering and translating. And what this work actually costs me when it is all over.

Because this work is...

At the start of every reading when I feel a skeptic on the other side of the table I say the same thing to Spirit. Buckle up. Let's show them how this is done.

Because Spirit does not need a client to believe. Spirit does not need the right name on a Zoom invite. Spirit does not need a husband to put down his guard before showing up with the most specific details of that man's entire childhood.

Spirit just shows up. And Spirit is...

A client sat across from me not long ago carrying something she had never said out loud to anyone.

She was not sad her person was gone. She was relieved.

And the shame of that relief was heavier than the grief itself.

Most people in the grief space will not touch this conversation. But there are people carrying that exact feeling alone right now. In the quiet. At 2am. Wondering what it says about them that relief showed up where sadness was supposed...

Most mediums will never say this out loud. Not every person who books a reading is ready for one. In this episode Jenny Shanks gets honest about desperate energy, what it is, what it does to a reading, and why showing up in that state closes the line to Spirit before the conversation even starts.

But here is the part that makes this episode different. Jenny has been that person. She has sat across from a medium with desperate energy so loud she could not hear anything...

Have you ever left a reading feeling like nothing landed? Like the medium got it wrong? What if the reading was not wrong at all. What if it was just early.

In this episode Jenny Shanks shares three real readings where the message made no sense in the room and everything clicked weeks or months later. A name Spirit repeated that the client had never heard before. A dime that showed up in the most unexpected place the very next day. And a little boy whose grandmother...

There was a reading that almost made me walk away from this work entirely. Not because something went wrong. Not because Spirit did not show up. But because what happened in that room was so raw, so deeply human, that I sat in my chair afterward and questioned everything.

Today I am sharing that story publicly for the first time. A mother who lost her teenage daughter unexpectedly. A reading that cracked something open in me I thought I had already healed. And the email that arrived...

Most mediums wait for Spirit to deliver the expected messages. I love you. I miss you. I am proud of you. But the messages that stop me cold are the ones so specific, so perfectly aimed at the human sitting in front of me, that the energy in the room completely changes.

In this episode I am sharing three of those moments. Three sentences from Spirit that were so precise and so needed that my client and I both sat completely still after hearing them. Messages so...

The number one question grieving people ask, and the one most mediums answer with comfort instead of truth. In this episode, Jenny Shanks answers it directly. After ten years of connecting the living with loved ones in Spirit, here is what Jenny knows: Spirit is always okay. Spirit is not suffering. And Spirit has never stopped paying attention to your life.

Jenny shares three real client stories that prove exactly how specific, how present, and how tuned in a loved one in Spirit actually is, including a...
