Being a spiritual medium is a profound and fulfilling calling, but it can also be energetically draining and challenging to balance with everyday life. The nature of mediumship requires deep emotional, mental, and spiritual engagement, making it essential to find harmony between work and personal well-being. Here are some key strategies to maintain balance while staying true to your spiritual path.

1. Set Clear Boundaries

As a spiritual medium, it’s important to set firm boundaries between your personal life and your work. Schedule specific hours for readings and spiritual sessions, and ensure you have dedicated time for yourself and your loved ones. Just as a doctor or therapist wouldn’t see clients at all hours, you too must protect your time and energy.

2. Prioritise Self-Care

Engaging with spirit and providing guidance to others requires a great deal of energy. Regular self-care practices, such as meditation, grounding exercises, yoga, or even simple walks in nature, can help you stay centered. Pay attention to your physical health as well—adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and hydration are essential to maintaining your energy levels.

3. Manage Emotional Energy

Being a medium means dealing with intense emotions, both from the spirit world and from your clients. To avoid burnout, practice energetic cleansing techniques such as smudging with sage, taking salt baths, or using crystals like black tourmaline for protection. Journaling or speaking with a trusted friend or mentor can also help process emotions healthily.

4. Create a Support System

Surround yourself with people who understand and respect your work. Having a support network from your family, fellow mediums, spiritual mentors, or understanding friends can provide emotional strength. It’s also beneficial to have someone to talk to when you need to decompress after particularly intense sessions.

5. Stay Grounded in Daily Life

Balancing work as a medium with everyday responsibilities means staying present in your personal life. Engage in hobbies, spend time with family, and participate in activities that bring joy and relaxation. Maintaining connections with the physical world ensures you don’t become overwhelmed by spiritual work.

6. Honor Your Own Spiritual Growth

While helping others is a key part of mediumship, your own spiritual development is equally important. Set aside time for personal meditation, study, and reflection to deepen your connection with spirit. Continue learning through books, workshops, or guidance from experienced mentors.

7. Know When to Say No

Not every client or opportunity will align with your energy or purpose. Trust your intuition when deciding which sessions to take on, and don’t be afraid to say no if something doesn’t feel right. Protecting your well-being ensures you can continue serving others effectively without depleting yourself.

Final Thoughts

Being a spiritual medium is a beautiful and sacred path, but it requires conscious effort to maintain balance. By setting boundaries, prioritising self-care, and staying grounded, you can create a fulfilling practice that aligns with both your spiritual mission and your personal well-being. Remember, taking care of yourself allows you to be of greater service to others.

Hi, I’m Jodie, a spiritual medium with a deep love for green witchcraft and all things magical. Each year, as the calendar turns, I take time to create a vision board—a practice that has become a sacred ritual in my life. It’s not just a creative exercise; it’s an act of intention-setting, manifestation, and alignment with the universe.

What Is a Vision Board?

A vision board is a visual representation of your dreams, goals, and intentions. It’s a collage of images, words, and symbols that resonate with what you want to bring into your life. For me, it’s a blend of magazine clippings, handwritten affirmations, pressed flowers, and even herbs that hold specific energies—like lavender for peace or rosemary for clarity.

Why at the Beginning of the Year?

The start of a new year is a powerful energetic portal. It’s a blank slate, buzzing with the potential for growth and transformation. As a green witch, I’m deeply attuned to the cycles of nature. Just as the earth rests in winter to prepare for spring’s renewal, I use this time to plant the seeds of my intentions. A vision board helps me clarify those intentions and channel my energy effectively.

How It Aligns with My Spiritual Practice

1. Manifestation Tool: As a spiritual medium, I believe in the power of thought and intention to shape reality. A vision board serves as a physical anchor for my manifestations, reminding me daily of what I’m working towards.
2. Connection to Nature: Incorporating natural elements like leaves, flowers, and earthy colors helps me stay grounded and connected to the earth’s energy.
3. Sacred Ritual: The process of creating a vision board is meditative and magical. I light candles, burn incense, and call upon my spirit guides for clarity and inspiration. This ritual transforms the act of crafting into a spiritual experience.

The Benefits I’ve Experienced

• Clarity: Creating a vision board forces me to define what I truly want. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of life, but this practice brings me back to my core desires.
• Focus: With my goals visually displayed, I’m reminded of them every day. This keeps me aligned and motivated.
• Energy Amplification: A vision board amplifies my intentions. By engaging with it regularly, I infuse my goals with energy and make them more likely to manifest.

Tips for Creating Your Own Vision Board

• Set the Mood: Create a sacred space with candles, music, or whatever makes you feel magical.
• Gather Materials: Collect magazines, printed images, quotes, and natural elements that resonate with your goals.
• Follow Your Intuition: Let your heart guide you. If an image or word speaks to you, trust that it has a place on your board.
• Keep It Visible: Place your vision board somewhere you’ll see it daily, like your altar or a bedroom wall.

A Closing Thought

Join My Vision Board Workshop

If this inspires you, I’d love to invite you to my Vision Board Workshop! It’s happening on January 7th, from 7-9 PM in Ruskington, for just £20. Together, we’ll create beautiful, intentional vision boards to kickstart the year with clarity and purpose.

For me, making a vision board isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about creating a life that feels aligned with my soul. It’s a way to honor my dreams and work in harmony with the universe’s flow. If you’ve never tried it, I encourage you to give it a go. You might just find that it becomes a cherished ritual in your life too.

Wishing you a magical and intentional year ahead,

Jodie

Last week, I was chatting with someone (can’t for the life of me remember who now!) about how I never see energy behind my eyes anymore when I’m drifting off to sleep or relaxing. It used to happen all the time—my eyes would flicker like crazy, and I’d see all the chakra colours from my aura, swirling and vibrant. I would even see all the faces of spirit people that had been waiting to connect after a platform demo and I would repeatedly be saying sorry to each on of them that I hadn’t managed to speak with them. But over the years, it all just gently faded away. Spirit didn’t need to get my attention that way anymore, and I accepted it as part of my journey.

You see, it takes a lot of energy for spirit to get through to us in that way. Every ounce they use to catch our attention is energy they can’t use to deliver the messages we need. So when the flickers and faces faded away, I trusted that it was simply no longer necessary for me.

But this week? Something shifted.

I’ve had a string of restless nights—something I usually find frustrating. But instead of feeling annoyed, I’ve been connecting it to the full moon and a shift in my energy and vibration. And guess what? The energy behind my eyes is back! I’ve been seeing flickers, faces, and flashes of light one after the other, just like I used to. It’s as if spirit is reminding me to stay open, to trust the flow of energy, and to believe that these connections come when the time is right. Plus Quigg was obviously earwigging into my conversation and though let’s remind her of her younger days!

So, I’m sharing this as a little reminder for anyone who feels like they’re “missing” something in their spiritual journey: just because it’s not happening now doesn’t mean it won’t happen again. Stay open, stay patient, and trust the process. Spirit always knows what we need and when we need it.

Please share this with anyone that needs reminding that life needs to change to grow.

Much love,

Jodie xx

Blog Post: A New Chapter Begins – Hello from Jodie!

Hello there!

If you’re reading this, welcome to my brand-new corner of the internet! It’s a space I’ve created to share stories, insights, and perhaps even a sprinkle of spirit-filled magic. Whether you’ve been following my journey for a while or have only just discovered me, I’m so happy you’re here.

Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Jodie, and I’ve been a spiritual medium for over 20 years. Though I’ve spent countless evenings connecting loved ones across the veil, speaking in front of audiences, and listening to spirits share their stories, starting this blog feels like a new adventure. So, grab a cuppa (or something stronger!) and let’s dive into how I got here.

I’ve been aware of spirits for as long as I can remember—chatting away with my imaginary friend at just four years old like it was the most normal thing in the world. Turns out, it wasn’t just imaginary after all. At 14, my spirit guide—a very proper Victorian gentleman with a surprising knack for gossip—gave me my first memorable message, and boy, was it a juicy one! you can read more about that on my about me page! Fast forward a few years to 18, when a rather unexpected encounter (a man standing at the end of my bed!) became the spark that led me to the local spiritualist church. That’s where I began honing my natural abilities, under the kind guidance of my mentor, Judy.

Of course, the road hasn’t always been smooth. If you’d told 20-year-old me that I’d one day be standing on stage in front of a room full of strangers, delivering messages from their loved ones, I’d have laughed nervously and probably run the other way! But spirit has a funny way of pushing us out of our comfort zones. And I’m so glad they did. Today, platform work—standing before an audience to pass on messages of love and connection—is one of my greatest joys.

Over the years, life has taught me a lot. From raising my beautiful twin daughters (now 18 and full of their own dreams) to navigating a divorce and rediscovering myself, I’ve grown stronger and more in tune with the life I’m meant to lead. I’m now remarried to my incredible husband, Rob, who has been my rock for over 10 years. With his support, and a bit of menopause fog to keep things interesting, I’m diving headfirst into this exciting new chapter.

These days, you’ll find me organizing more mediumship events across Lincolnshire and dreaming about expanding my work even further. (And yes, if you’re in the market for a house, mine might just be up for grabs soon—spirit moves us in mysterious ways!)

When I’m not connecting with the spirit world, I love spending time with my family, exploring new restaurants with Rob (his absolute favourite pastime), or getting stuck into a creative hobby. My latest passion? Clay pottery! Who knew getting your hands dirty could be so therapeutic?

This blog will be my way of keeping you up to date on my journey, sharing tales from my events, and maybe even giving you a peek behind the scenes of life as a medium.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for joining me. Whether you’re curious about the spirit world, a fellow believer, or simply here to say hello, I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride.

Here’s to new beginnings and connecting in ways we’ve never done before. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.

Until next time,
Jodie xxx
