In today's episode, I address a common criticism of mediums charging for their services, sparked by a recent YouTube comment on my interview with medium Mark Ireland. While I agree that mediums shouldn't be expected to work for free, I wanted to dive deeper into the nuances around what mediums charge and why.

I explain how mediumship is a craft that most invest considerable time and money into developing, much like learning an instrument. The exchange of money for a medium's services is a fair energetic exchange, similar to paying any other skilled professional.  

I delve into the practical realities that most mediums can only do a few readings per day or week due to the mental and physical toll it takes. High hourly rates allow mediums to make a living wage given these natural limitations. I share an anecdote of a talented engineer-turned-medium who was criticized for charging a fair rate based on his training and opportunity cost.

Ultimately, I advise seeking out a trusted medium, viewing it as a special once or twice a year investment in your healing and connection to loved ones. I encourage withholding judgment about a medium's fees without understanding their full circumstances.

Join me for this nuanced take on the sensitive topic of mediums and money. I offer a refreshing, balanced perspective that I hope gives you much to contemplate. I shed light on the realities of this often misunderstood profession and service. Even if you disagree, I think you'll find it an interesting and thoughtful discussion!
