info_outlineWhat happens when psychic readings become a crutch?
In this deeply honest conversation, returning guest Rory Walkhom—a spiritual teacher, channel, and mentor with The Medium School—shares the kind of truth that stops you mid-scroll. You’ll hear us unpack a very real and often uncomfortable dynamic in the psychic and spiritual world: how repeated readings, while well-intentioned, can slowly disempower the very people they aim to help.
Together, we name what’s not working, but more importantly, we talk about how to do it better. For clients, for practitioners, and for the integrity of the sacred work.
This episode isn’t about calling people out. It’s about calling us all in—to a way of showing up in this work that actually roots us deeper into our own soul wisdom.
You’ll hear Rory talk about:
-
What a psychic reading is truly meant for
-
Why discomfort in the unknown doesn’t need immediate fixing
-
How to reconnect with your own inner expansion
-
What ethical boundaries look like—for both the reader and the client
-
How to choose a practitioner from a place of alignment, not panic
Whether you’re a practicing intuitive or someone who turns to readings when life feels uncertain, this one will meet you right where you are.
"If we’re doing readings again and again for people, we are disempowering them from connecting to their own intuition. That’s not healing. That’s dependency."- Rory Walkhom
