While I am incredibly grateful to have this gift, I don’t make it public knowledge, mainly because I get this reaction, but also because I am learning to set boundaries for when I do readings.
My typical response is “I would love to do a reading for you, let’s set up a time this week that works for both of us.” This way I am setting boundaries and not doing a reading on the spot.
I CAN do readings on the spot, but don’t because I need to meditate first. Doing readings in public is very difficult for me to do because of all the energy around me.
I feel there is a general misconception in mainstream society regarding mediumship. A lot of people think Psychic Mediums can—-and will—-do readings for free.
I get visits from my ancestors in dreams and meditations. Occasionally my spirit guide visit me. I’m a 31 year old woman, and have had this gift all my life. It first started when I was 11.

The response I get when I tell people I’m a Psychic Medium is “OMG THATS SO COOL! ???? READ ME! ????” Then they proceed to throw their palm at me with complete excitement. (Continued below)

Doctors get this too, “oh you’re a doctor? I’ve had blah blah blah symptoms, can you tell me what that is?”
Artists too, “oh you paint? Can you draw me a picture of so and so?”
Most people are self centric enough not to realize this is selfish and are making a sad attempt at showing support or interest. The rest like free stuff and don’t respect the craft enough to invest in it or the person.
They think, why pay a professional when I can get it from my “friend” for free? Well hello! Your friend is a professional…
Your tact is perfect. Mention your pricing scale or say the ways in which you accept payment. “Next Tuesday would work for me, I accept PayPal and cash.” If they are offended, remind them you have the right to be offended first. Politely of course.
