Transcript #027 - Mediumship

Let's dive in. Jessica Lynne, thank you so much for being here with us on Don't Step on the Bluebells.

Jessica Lynne: Thank you. I am really excited to be here. Thank you for having

Amanda Parker: me. I don't remember exactly how I came to find you, but I know that I'm watching your videos like every day now.

Jessica Lynne: That's so lovely. Thank you.

Amanda Parker: So I'm super curious to hear, just to get us started in the conversation, if You know, what is it that you're really excited about right now?

Jessica Lynne: You know, I'm just excited about what's to come. I just, I feel like I'm trying not to control the narrative so much anymore. I'm just sort of planting seeds and just seeing what comes to fruition and see what [00:03:00] lands and what doesn't.

I've never, I've never, Been in such a place of trust with the universe, with my guides, with the future for me. So I don't know, there's nothing specific I can put my fingers on. I'm sort of just excited to see what's to come and I'm just surrendering, I guess we could say to whatever will be. So I'm just excited about life.

I've never been. In a better place in so many areas of my life. And it's because I've taken this chance on myself and I've just sort of thrown caution to the wind and I'm in my business full time now. And this, it hasn't always been the case. Um, I've only been full time for a year now. So it's just clocked over the year and I'm going, Oh my gosh, time has just been flying.

And yeah, it's just really exciting to see all of the things that I've been trying to manifest along the way, finally come to fruition.

Amanda Parker: That's amazing. I think it's one of the hardest things to just, like, be in the moment to let things happen. I know this is something that I really struggle with a lot on my [00:04:00] own.

I know the principle of surrender and let go and just allow what's unfolding to unfold. And Basically, like, get out of the way, but it sounds like you've, you've figured it out.

Jessica Lynne: It's hard. It's really hard when you've been programmed to hustle and to get in there and get things done and push and push and push.

And that's what we're taught. It's like, if you're not in it, like you're not going to win it kind of thing. And I think that sometimes, yes, we have to put one foot in front of the other and there's aligned actions that we need to do in order to help manifest our dreams. But a lot of the time. Just planting those seeds and trusting that some way you will find yourself getting to where you need to be.

That's the surrendering part. It's trying not to control all the in betweens. It's sort of just planting the seeds and then moving towards it and just watching things unfold, because I usually find that the magic comes in. In the parts that you're not trying to [00:05:00] strangle. If you're not trying to control it, all these beautiful things start to happen that you never even thought possible.

Like I couldn't have predicted every single step of my journey. And you know what? I don't want to how boring. If we were just controlling everything one step at a time, we would just be not enjoying life at all. So it is about, it's a balance. That's what I'll call it.

Amanda Parker: Yeah, I think that's such a, uh, a powerful reminder as well that it's actually the things that we're not controlling that create the magic.

And it's, it's so true because whenever I have like a plan and I'm trying to follow it to a T or like. really design the details of what I want to happen. It, first of all, it never works that way anyway. No, it doesn't. No, and then you're just, you're a bit closed off because you're following that plan.

You're not even seeing these bits and pieces of magic or insight or wisdom that are coming in and guiding you. Along the way as well.

Jessica Lynne: Exactly. Yes, it's definitely I'm really learning that because I used I was [00:06:00] an EA for years and executive assistant and I just I always had to control every single piece and I was so used to that and stepping into something that is so different like mediumship.

It's, you just can't do that. Like you can't control, you don't know what's coming in, in any given moment when you're reading for someone, um, you just sort of got to allow things to be in the moment and it's, it's really hard to shift that mindset. So I commend anyone who's trying to surrender. It's not an easy journey.

Amanda Parker: So you say that you were working as an executive assistant. Now, when you say that you're full time in your business, this is full time mediumship. Yes. Yeah. I'm working as a

Jessica Lynne: psychic medium now. So I was doing that as my side thing, um, for a long time. I was like, Oh no, I'm never going to do this full time.

This is not going to be it. I'm always going to just do it as the thing that I love on the side as a hobby. And I was, I was refusing. I'm like, Nope. Yeah. It's never going to be, I'm always going to be like this. [00:07:00] And then everything kind of moved and shaked along in life. And all of a sudden I was put into this scenario where I didn't like the job that I just thrown myself into.

And I was like, Oh my God, I'm five days into this new job and I don't like it at all. I was like, It was painted to me like it was going to be perfect. The universe knew how to get me. They're like, Ooh, if we like plant all these seeds, Jess will be like, woohoo, this is the best job offer ever. So I jumped into it and I was like, Oh my God, what have I done?

And then I was like, you know what? There is no time like the present to just take a chance on me. I think at that point. I was working part time in my medium ship. I had, I was booked out for a year solid on my part time hours. I just closed my books and I had a wait list of 800 people. And I was like,

Amanda Parker: Oh, maybe

Jessica Lynne: now is it okay time for me to be jumping in?

It was like, I needed all of that for me to be convinced. It was just ridiculous. But Hey, you know, when you've done [00:08:00] something so long, like I was an EA for like 14, 15 years. I always. Thought that that was what I was supposed to be doing. And you're programmed to do the safe things, the traditional stuff, you know, the guaranteed work, but I've just found like having the courage to be able to step out of that norm and just trust and believe in myself, it's just all this abundance just keeps flowing as I keep putting in the work and trying to better myself.

So yeah, really interesting. The way that spirit work in that way, they know how to, They know how to play me.

Amanda Parker: I, I love that you had this 800 person waiting list before you realized,

Jessica Lynne: hmm,

Amanda Parker: I wonder if there's something more here.

Jessica Lynne: I wasn't even convinced at that time. I was like, oh, what if I don't get the people?

And my wife's like, are you crazy? She's like, seriously, like the writing's on the wall, but it took me, it took me that to do it. So, you know.

Amanda Parker: Yeah. Well, it's, it takes a tremendous amount of courage, even if you [00:09:00] know, and all this. It's like so crystal clear, like the courage it takes to just really own that and step forward on that path, even though now you know, okay, all these beautiful things flow in after, but it's still like that moment of really committing and deciding to follow that path forward.

That is so beautiful. That's, I really think like the moment that you really step into that change, that you're really choosing that evolution of who you are.

Jessica Lynne: Yes. That's when everything shifts. It's like, it was only going to take me so far. And I found as soon as I jumped into it full time, all these doors started opening.

It was like, they were almost waiting. They're like, we can only show you so much. And once you fully commit and you trust us and you trust the process and trust yourself, really, that's when all these opportunities start presenting themselves. So. If you're feeling kind of how I was, where you're like, Oh, I really feel pulled to do something else.

Like I know there's something else out there for me. I'm just so scared. Cause I don't know where that's going to land. I don't [00:10:00] know if it's going to work out for me. Maybe just open the door a little bit and just see what it's all about, because you'll probably find that that's where all of your abundance is and you're being pulled in a different direction for a reason.

So you kind of have to trust that.

Amanda Parker: I think a lot of people who are listening, like just various clients of mine, coaching clients, are people that give feedback when they listen to episodes there. So we have two different kinds of listeners. One are like the healers and like the guides who are really like coming out of the closet in a way, like really stepping out onto the stage like, okay, I'm doing this work now, you know, and

Jessica Lynne: yeah, there's a

Amanda Parker: lot of like, Like fear and desire for belonging and not wanting to be rejected and then all these fear stories that so many of us have just from living our lives.

And then you have a lot of people who are just, just reconnecting to the knowledge that they have these gifts. And it's something they might have suppressed from some, you know, Whatever incident they had when they [00:11:00] were younger or something a family member said, or they were scared of all these things that were coming in at some point in their lives, and they're just starting to reconnect into that place of like, Oh my God, there's something more here.

I'm gonna have to explore this. So how was that For you, I mean, you were doing the mediumship part time, you stepped into it full time, but was there a moment where you, like, were disconnected and reconnected, or what's that story for you?

Jessica Lynne: Yeah, so, I was always very intuitive, I've had a really great, Intuition, gut instinct.

I've always been interested in this. So I've loved psychic mediums for as long as I can remember. I would see as many as I could find. I would go to meditation classes. I was always connected in some way. It was just, I never really knew that I could do this myself and it wasn't until. I was like in my thirties that it all started for me.

So sometimes people like, Oh my gosh, like [00:12:00] you've wasted so much time, not doing this. And I'm like, not really. I'm like, because I would not, no way in hell I would be the medium I am today. If I had have done this like 10 years ago, like I would not have even known who I was. To be able to give people the guidance and the advice and be able to recognize in them what I need to see in order to help them move forward in their lives when I'm connecting.

So I think everything happens perfect divine timing. I truly believe that it's not that I necessarily. Ever felt disconnected. It was just, I hadn't ever felt as connected as what I had when I finally decided to step into this in a way that I was open to seeing whatever would come to fruition. So I actually had a, my first moment channeling someone was in a group setting.

So I had gone to. A random Sunday class where we were just sort of exploring beginning [00:13:00] mediumship. And I brought my friend along. I'm like, stuff it. We're just going to see what the hell this is all about. And we sat there and in the first like five or 10 minutes, the instructor was like, okay, we're going to teach you how to blend with students.

Spirit. So we're all sitting there with our eyes closed, like picturing all this white light around us. And she's like, all right, then open your eyes, pair up with someone you don't know and start channeling. And we were like, what? So I'm sitting there opposite this lady. And she's like, all right, then close your eyes and just try and connect to someone, see what you can feel.

And I started feeling this male energy around me, but I actually got referenced to a man that I know and I, who had passed. And I was like, why am I seeing this man? When I'm trying to be channeling for this lady that I realized soon after, when I just started. that and explain the type of person that he was and the way that he passed.

It all made sense to her. And she's like, Oh my God, that explains my dad. Like my dad passed that way. And I thought, Ooh, I'm like, this is clever. [00:14:00] Clearly spirit of using my memories of somebody else to help me connect with whoever I'm trying to channel at this moment for this lady. So it was instantly like, as soon as I opened myself up to spirit, it was like, everything came flooding in.

I had remembered I'd had amnesia for years and all of a sudden I just remembered everything that I was supposed to remember about how to do this. So that moment for me was like unlocking something in my brain and it felt like I'd been asleep like for so long and finally they've woken me up. And I was like, Honestly, I haven't looked back.

I've been like, Oh, now give me more. What's next. What's next. What's next. And it's not that I don't doubt myself sometimes because it's so natural to, and that's part of this. It's like, Oh crap, that was a really crap reading. I could have done so much better than that. What if I dug deeper or what if I compare myself to that person and they always get this and why don't I get things like that?

And I still do that to myself all of the time. So you can [00:15:00] have someone standing up there and you go, Oh, there's such a well known healer or a medium or whatever. They have the same thoughts that you have every single day. We are no different. No one is different. We are all the same. We have doubts. We have fears.

We don't trust ourselves. We don't trust spirit. Like it's just the way that it is. And it never changes. Every reading I do, I'm nervous. Every single one because I'm like, oh shit, please say yes, please say that you can validate that I'm like, I'm just as nervous as I was on day one and that's just human

Amanda Parker: Such a good reminder.

I don't know if you're just channeling my energy as well like On this podcast, especially because the people that I'm inviting and having conversations with I admire so deeply like I'm really thoughtful before I send an invitation, you know, and it's really like teachers are people who I look at with such reverence for what they're doing and how they're showing up in the world.

And then I'm like, Oh, my God, okay, [00:16:00] ground yourself, like, be present, just be yourself. You're doing the podcast, you're doing great. It's just It's really a good reminder.

Jessica Lynne: Yes, it's really human to not always trust yourself or to be scared or nervous or whatever. So if you're starting your healing journey, hell, if you feel like you're confident in your healing journey, there will be days where you're like, Oh my God, I'm so nervous, or I can't believe I'm talking to this person right now and you'll get all the butterflies and all the things and I still get all that.

So you're not alone.

Amanda Parker: Just celebrate it now, you know. Celebrate it, just embrace it. I was watching, um, it must have been a YouTube video, um, from a man who teaches public speaking and this woman was saying, you know, whenever I go on stage, my voice is always shaking. And he was like, well, why is your voice shaking?

And she, and he was like, cause your body's shaking. And why is your body shaking? Cause you're nervous. And his advice was actually just like, Get up and burn off the energy before you go on stage like do [00:17:00] some push ups run around the room So I'm like that is brilliant advice It's so good get it all out, you know, and then you can sit down and just be present where you are

Jessica Lynne: Yes, and I think to like focusing on Just speaking about whatever you're meant to be speaking about.

And I think sometimes people, when they go on podcasts or they get interviewed or whatever, they've got this like, Oh my God, like, what if I get it wrong? Or what if I like say something wrong? Or what if I like stop speaking and can't get the words out or whatever? But you got to think. Whatever you're talking about, you know what you're talking about.

You cannot get that wrong. Like, when I'm talking about mediumship, if I'm on a podcast or whatever, I'm like, Jess, you kinda can't mess this up because you know this. Like, you gotta trust that whatever's gonna come out is gonna come out in perfect timing and the right way or the way that it's supposed to, so.

Amanda Parker: You've mentioned the word a couple times and, like, this is what we're really touching on and the podcast is all about healing and transformation, so I'd love to hear [00:18:00] what does healing mean for you?

Jessica Lynne: I feel like healing is something that is a journey. I don't think it's something that necessarily is, it's weird.

It's not like it's a destination. So like, Oh, we're, we're heading to healing. It's like, you're not going to ever reach anything. I just feel like that it's acknowledging within yourself, the parts of you that you still feel are a work in progress. It's like, You know what? I still feel like I need to work on that, or I need to heal that in some way, because it's holding me back.

It's not allowing me to either be the person that I want to be, or it's making me anxious or nervous. And it's stopping me from being the person that I aspire to be. So I feel like healing along the way, it's all about acknowledging the parts of you that you still want to work on or that you want to change and putting into place, aligned actions.

To do just that.

Amanda Parker: So it's not actually that place that we're trying to get to this [00:19:00] place of being healed.

Jessica Lynne: No, I don't think that we ever get healed. Maybe when we're on the other side, but I think that there's always going to be things that we're working on or that we're wanting to do better. We're always evolving and growing and learning.

And I just think that if we continually push ourselves to, I want to be healed, I want to be healed. It's like, what is that? Like what is healed? Like, how do you know when you're there? You kind of don't like, no, one's going to walk around going, I am healed. It's like, what? Like, yes, we want to find closure and alignment and we want to feel more at peace.

Maybe that's the better word for it. Like we want to find more peace within ourselves. We're healing ourselves over time with the wounds that have been open throughout life. And we're trying to find a better version of peace for us. Along the way.

Amanda Parker: I can imagine also just specifically with the kind of work that you're doing, so the channeling and the mediumship and everything that comes with that, [00:20:00] what would you say healing means in that context?

Jessica Lynne: A lot of the time when it comes to mediumship it's, and especially when you're connecting with the other side, a lot of the time people are wanting healing in the form of closure. It's having some form of acknowledgement that you and your loved ones are okay. That there's nothing left unsaid that whatever unfolded that day with that person, when they passed or during those moments that we're not holding on to any of that, like the spirit world, aren't holding anything against you, or there's nothing there that I feel like we still need to work on or mend in some way.

I think a lot of the time people come into readings with this, with burdens on their shoulders of certain conversations they never got to have, or things that have been haunting them all these years. If only I had have said this, or if only we had have done that. And you usually find throughout readings that the healing that takes place in that moment is the answers to the questions that I [00:21:00] feel like have been outstanding for so long.

That's the healing in those moments, getting the answers that you need and that you've been seeking and you just haven't been able to find over that period of time.

Amanda Parker: The first mediumship reading, I'm trying to remember or think if this is true, but I think so. Um, it was the first, reading that I had with a woman I ended up studying with.

So I'll say I've been a student of mediumship, but it hasn't clicked in yet. Let me put it that way. Okay. So the psychic channeling feels pretty good, but I know there's just more on the journey to uncover there. Um, but I had that first reading and I just remember there were a few, um, Moments because she was practicing what's called evidential mediumship.

I don't know if you are using these kind of frameworks and what you're doing, but so she was showing me a lot of like evidence proof to help me connect to who that person was. And so actually she was channeling [00:22:00] someone who I didn't even really know who it was, but there was so much connection like in the name that I knew exactly who it was, even though I had never actually met this person.

And I remember in that moment really feeling like, Oh my God, like it really just. So much family history felt like it made sense in that moment, and that alone felt healing, you know, it wasn't even solving anything, it was just like the knowing that that was possible, and that you could connect into this ancestry and, you know, Yeah, like that people were like that your ancestors that people are sort of like there and I mean, maybe that's scary to you know, depending on the ancestors, but just feeling like you're really supported by so many layers of people who have come before you.

Jessica Lynne: Yeah, it's pretty amazing. And I think too, in readings, it can often be [00:23:00] that the people that step forward are the ones that potentially we didn't really know very much of here in the physical world. Perhaps you didn't get to meet them, or you didn't get to spend a lot of time with these, um, these people.

But I feel like that they're so. Souls are still connected to you in some way, and they're very invested in your life and they might not have the memories or the physical memories with you here that you can carry with you, but their connection to you is very real. And I think sometimes. When people are getting readings, they're very quick to dismiss the people that they don't know here.

They're like, Oh, I didn't really know them move on kind of thing. And I always like to go, no, not so much. We're not moving on just yet because there's some reason why they've pushed forward. They've got something to say. So I always try to find the message before we move on. And a lot of the time the message hits and it's exactly what's going on and it's exactly what they need or it's something that Somebody in their family needs to hear at that [00:24:00] particular moment in time.

So I always like to say to my clients, be open to what comes through. Yes. You know, 95 percent of the time we can get the person that you're hoping to connect with, but in all reality, it's not dial a spirit. It's not, Hey, let's. Let's talk to Michael Jackson, like that's not what it is. So we need to sort of be open to who comes through and why.

And I think that that's when you get the most, um, I guess as we say healing or profound moments or light bulb moments, it can often be from the ones that weren't even that closest to us here. It's because they've watched us our whole lives. So they know things and they've seen us change and transform and they're inspired and in awe of us and sometimes they've got the gold nuggets so I would be listening.

Amanda Parker: So do you find like in what you're doing, are you? You know, in a way providing the service for the person who's like, hello, I'd like to have a reading. Or is it for the people [00:25:00] on the other side?

Jessica Lynne: Oh, it's a bit of a mix. I really do feel like it's a, it's a moment for both sides. It's like sometimes spirit have been waiting to say these things for so long.

And you really do feel like the messenger it's like they're having conversations. Through you and spirit might have things they feel are left unsaid and they've wanted to apologize for something, or they've wanted to have someone understand something that went on. And it's my job, I guess, to articulate that in a way that my client would be open to hearing.

Um, but also then providing them with, um, it's really funny, actually, this is just an aside I was reading for someone the other day. And they were saying to me, Oh my God, can you tell my mom, blah, blah, blah. Can you tell her this and tell her that? And I said, she can hear you. I'm like, she's hearing everything you're saying to me right now.

It's like, I don't have to tell her anything. You just say whatever you want to say right now. And I will tell you what I'm thinking or feeling or whatever comes into my mind as a response. [00:26:00] So we can have like a bit of a conversation here. It literally is like, you're the middle man, like interpreting this information.

And afterwards, a lot of my clients say, I literally feel like I was just sitting there talking to my mom or my dad. And I really needed that. And I'm like, well, you know what they needed that too. It wasn't just for you. It was for them too, because the connection feels the same. It's just, I can see you and I can only feel them.

That it's the same energy, it's for both. It's healing for everybody, we'll call it.

Amanda Parker: Yeah, cause I can imagine sometimes, you know, I can sense, like I've just had a series of coincidences over the last couple weeks, like people have been coming in. I mean I was sitting in a workshop this weekend, so I'm, yeah.

I'm studying with the Shamanic Foundation here in London, and I was in a workshop on community, and this woman approached me and she said, Amanda, are we having a phone call next week? And I just look at her, I'm like, I'm sorry, like, what is your name? Like, I didn't know who she [00:27:00] was. And then I realized, a friend of mine who lives in the Netherlands had insisted that I speak to this woman she's friends with here in London.

And she was like, you really, I'm having goosebumps everywhere. She was like, you, I really think you need to connect to this woman, like reach out to her. And she had already introduced us like half a year ago. And we just said, didn't really connect. So we talked last week to set up a call for next week.

And we were sitting in this 15 person workshop together this weekend, like in North London, like super far from whatever, you know, center of gravity. And in those moments, I'm just like, okay, there's something being weaved on a level that I'm not seeing that I don't fully understand. And that's, that's I guess for me, that's also, yeah, I mean, that's maybe just spirit, but that's also this element of, like, is it her ancestors and mine, or, like, all these people, like, come on, let's get them in the same room at the same time.

There's so much that we just can't see if we're only looking [00:28:00] at the physical world around us.

Jessica Lynne: Definitely. That is not a coincidence. I honestly believe that that's like you guys being pulled together for some reason because you need to connect. I love things like that. I never think anything's a coincidence.

It's like, like you said, it gives you the goosebumps. It's like, Oh my gosh, so strange, but so cool. It's

Amanda Parker: actually just blew my mind all weekend. I was like, Okay, what's the reason? What are we building here? You know, like just waiting. And then it has to be surrender, just surrender, it'll all become clear. I will for sure.

I'd love to hear a bit I guess just how you work with people. Like, how does that happen? Do people, you know, are they just reaching out for a reading? Is it, is that it? What's your process? How do you love supporting others?

Jessica Lynne: Yeah, so I've actually, this is something I've been working on lately. So when I first started, I was, Very much.

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do events. I'm [00:29:00] going to do groups. I'm going to do one on ones. I'm going to do everything. I was like, come one, come all kind of thing. And now that I'm a year in, I'm like, Whoa, I'm like, okay, I am reigning this in because I work so much better in a one on one capacity.

And I've learned that over time. I'm like, you know what? I love to be in a group to be able to share an experience. And some of those experiences are beautiful. And I love connecting with people, but I feel like when I'm working with someone one on one and. People can feel that they can be vulnerable and we can get underneath the hood of the car.

That's where I feel like the magic happens for me. And so I'm working a lot more one on one these days. Um, I've actually just stopped doing my groups. I've stopped doing events for now. I'm just reining it in and doing my one on ones. And I also do one question readings as well. Where I channel the question for someone in like a five minute video.

And then I send that to them and it's kind of like little fire readings. Um, so [00:30:00] I can connect with more people cause I'm so booked out, which I'm so blessed that I am, um, that I always want to connect with as many people as possible. So I'm doing that too, but yeah, I really find that over time. You do figure out what works best for you.

And I was on, um, a podcast the other day with, um, Mickey Fisher. Um, and she was saying to me, Oh, I only want to do groups. I just want to be doing Reiki and group readings. And I want to be in like everyone's energy. And I was like, girl, we are complete opposites. And she's like, nah, give me groups any day of the week.

And I was like, cool. Well, I'll send everyone who wants to join. Do a group to you and you sent all the water ones to me and we'll share. And she's like, yeah, all good girl. So I think over time you just figure it out. And for me, that's what I love to do. I love to connect with people and be in that like intimate setting.

And yeah, so people reach out, they book in and we just see what happens and we go from there. But yeah, that's how I'm working these days. And I only just figured that out like a few weeks [00:31:00] ago. So this is fresh.

Amanda Parker: Fresh revelations. Cut off the press.

Jessica Lynne: For sure.

Amanda Parker: Yeah, I definitely notice there's, for me, that shift in energy.

Sometimes the one on one work is really energizing. Sometimes it's the group, and like, it really changes, and drastically. I'm like, if I'm doing mostly one on ones at some point, I'm like, I hate one on one, I only want groups, and then I have to like, switch it around. Like, Okay, don't burn it all down, you know, like, keep it lit a little bit and just give yourself more exposure to different energy.

That's fine.

Jessica Lynne: Exactly. And you know what? I'm open to that. I might change at some point in time, but for now, I'm going to honor how I'm feeling and I'm just going to put one foot in front of the other and just see what happens. Go from there.

Amanda Parker: So you also mentioned, um, cause I'm really fascinated about this, like the development process and how you actually grow that skillset.

And what I heard from you is. Yeah, really in your thirties you, you were just super, super curious and started like [00:32:00] going to events or situations that you'd be able to start channeling. How did you continue to grow? That was just by doing readings or did you keep taking courses or find mentorship? I did

Jessica Lynne: start off doing, um, meditation classes, but when I went to that, um, I guess that short little fire course on that weekend, that was where it all sort of kicked off for me.

And the reason why I went to that was because the medium who was running that class was a lady that I'd done a reading with and I loved her style. I was like, I love you. You are direct. You are blunt. You're like straight to the point. You do not bullshit. I'm like, that is the type of chick that I want to learn from.

So after I went to her class, I was like, all right, what else is she doing? And she was doing like, I think it was like a. Six to eight week, like beginners course in mediumship. But I think it started like it was psychic and medium. It was like a bit of both. And I thought, well, let's just like, go with it.

See what happens by the way, for ages. I was like, I'm not a psychic. I'm only a medium. [00:33:00] And I was like, so like, no, don't even call me a psychic. It's not happening. And then over time I developed my psychic ability and now I'm a psychic medium, but I've always been really stubborn with this. I'm like, nope, I'm not doing full time.

I am not a psychic and all that in Spirit water, like cool story, girl, like, just wait. So anyway, I learned with this lady for. That course. And then I did her intermediate course. And then she mentored me for two years. So I did intensive mentorship. I read for free for two years, anyone that would let me, I did free readings.

I was not in a place where I was like, I want to charge people. I just wanted the experience. I wanted to build my symbology, my confidence, build the connections. Every single step of the way, I have not made any decisions until I felt like I was ready. And also when people were telling me that I was ready, it's really weird.

So people will be like, Oh my God, Jess, why aren't you charging? I'm like, Oh, I don't know, maybe. And [00:34:00] they're like, no, you should. I'm like, Oh, okay. So I was like, okay, 30. Then people are like, Oh my God, Jess, what the hell's wrong with you? You need to charge more. And I'm like, Oh, I don't know. So even to this day, I wait until I get.

It hit on the head before I do things and it's just the way I do it. I'm like, I'm just going to wait until I feel the pull and then I'm going to go in that direction. Even like I said, with the groups, like I've waited until I've been hit on the head with it. And then I make the call. So that's just a little advice to you guys.

Maybe don't wait as long as I wait, but I feel like sometimes you just need to You can hear it so many times from other people, but until you believe it and you feel it within your soul, don't force yourself to do anything until you are a hundred percent ready and convinced that it's the right timing for you.

No matter what anyone says, no matter if you're like, you know what, they're probably right, but I still feel weird. Just wait. Just wait a little bit longer until you are 100 percent convinced and then do it because then you won't look back.

Amanda Parker: And then you're actually aligned it sounds like. Yeah, I get aligned [00:35:00] when I get hit in the head.

Yeah, by the time you're stepping on the path like the red carpet's already like

Jessica Lynne: rolled out there. Yeah, they've all been waiting for a long time and I'm like okay I'm finally here. I'm like late to the party but it's all right, get there in the end.

Amanda Parker: Well it's also just really powerful because my experience of you and.

you know, we're also just speaking, but like my experience of you is that you're super experienced, that you know exactly what you're doing, and that you have this like really remarkable skill set and tool. And so I think it's also just helpful to know you've also been developing that muscle. It's not that you were just like, I am now a medium, and everything is just perfect.

It's like really, You also put in the discipline to learn and develop and grow.

Jessica Lynne: Oh yeah, I think it's so important. And to continue to push yourself too. Like, even to this day, I'm looking at parts of what I do and I'm like, Ooh, I want to get better at that. Or I'm going to push myself in this reading today to see if I can get this or like, [00:36:00] I still challenge myself every single day because I think that it's really important for us to grow and to learn and feel like we're, we're always.

Wanting more like I'm, I have a thirst for it. I'm like, Ooh, what's next? And what am I going to do now? And I always feel like I, I'm never going to be the girl that's standing up there going, I am great and I am healed and I am done. And like, no way. You're always going to see me being like, Oh shit, I don't know what I'm doing.

And fingers crossed. And like, I'm like you guys.

Amanda Parker: So have you had any remarkable, like. I mean, I say remarkable because that's what I'm excited about, right? But like, any stories that stand out from readings that you've done or specific moments that you could share so that people get a taste for what's actually possible.

Jessica Lynne: Yeah, absolutely. You know what?

Some of my absolute favorite readings have been with people who are still living. So connecting with people who are nonverbal, who [00:37:00] have dementia, who are in those certain states. And I think they're some of the most powerful readings because it allows us to understand that people who are living in that state are not suffering.

They're not sitting there suffering in their minds. And I think that that's something that is misunderstood with us. We just see that and we're like, Oh my God, they're not themselves. They don't know who they are. They don't know who we are like the poor things. It's so horrible to watch. And it is like, don't get me wrong.

It is awful to watch somebody have that happen and feel like they're losing themselves over time. But. The thing that we don't see is that their mind is wandering. It's going back and forth to the spirit world. It's seeing their loved ones on the other side. They're making plans. They're figuring out how things are going to be.

They're watching over you and your lives, almost like they're a spirit without being a spirit yet. It's like this transitional phase, I guess we could say. And they're getting the comfort that they need. And, [00:38:00] you know, obviously they're still meant to be here physically for a reason. Potentially for us to be able to get closure or say goodbye, or perhaps they need to be here for something physically for whatever reason.

And I think being able to give us that understanding that they're okay, is really powerful, especially when we're in those, like they're some of the hardest moments of our lives, watching our loved ones be sick. And something like that is. Awful to say, but knowing that they're okay, I think is really amazing.

And it's just helping us to find that acceptance, I guess. And it's given my clients so much hope. They're like, Oh, thank God. Well, when they're in the home and they're there at night, I don't feel so bad now that they're just sitting there on their own and they're alone. And I'm like, no, no, it's not. As soon as you leave their souls, like by they're like, I'm going to go over and see my wife.

That's on the other side. And we're going to have a chat. And even [00:39:00] today I channeled somebody's father who's still here in the physical world. And he's in a home with dementia. And I said, the first thing he came through and said is I'm just fine. He's like, I'm just enjoying the music. And then she goes, Oh my God, they play music every single day.

And I was like, well, how beautiful that he can tell you he knows that even though he doesn't look like he's with it. He knows what's going on and he's enjoying the time that he has. So they've been the most powerful readings for me so far and I never thought that was possible until I became a medium.

Amanda Parker: So cool. And is that then your, like, speaking with their higher self, speaking with their soul, what would you call that?

Jessica Lynne: I feel like it's sort of, it's obviously connecting with their soul in some way, shape, or form, but yeah, it must be like. It must be their higher self. It just feels, it feels the same to me.

It feels like I'm channeling a spirit. Um, so I don't get a different feeling sometimes when I'm channeling for people. I'm like, Oh, this woman's coming through and yada, [00:40:00] yada. And someone's like, they're still here. And I'm like, Oh, okay. Like I don't feel the difference between the two. So it all feels like a soul to me.

Um, but yeah, it's definitely. That like higher self soul kind of connection. Um, it's really interesting. Somebody said to me when I was reading for them and I've never forgotten it. They're like, Oh, Jess, I rescheduled my reading with you. And I was like, okay. And she goes, yeah, I rescheduled it because we were having a family occasion.

And I just thought that like, you know, my auntie would want to be present at the family occasion, like looking down on that event. She wouldn't want to be over here with me. Um, so I just thought I better do it on a night that she won't be busy. She won't want to be at the family do that is the funniest thing ever.

And so cute. She's like, I didn't want to take the risk. That she wouldn't show up for me cause she likes to have a good time.

I loved it. And I was like, don't worry. She would have found a way to be in both places at once. But I appreciate the sentiment. [00:41:00] I just thought it was one of the funniest things someone's ever said to me. Very thoughtful, but yeah, really cute.

Amanda Parker: And do you find that you also channel animals? Do animals come through for you?

Jessica Lynne: Yes, I love animals and I love spirit babies too. They are the best to channel. I love spirit baby energy. What's a spirit baby? Babies that are on the other side that haven't come into the world yet or perhaps they are babies that have been lost along the way as well. So if somebody's had a miscarriage or something like that, but spirit babies are beautiful and they've got the same kind of energy as animals.

To me, it's all like that childlike, like baby kind of vibe, but animals are the best, they come through as like children to us and they really, um, they're so. Um, profound the way that they say things and they know things and the timing of when they come into the world and they're with us and when they choose to go out, it's all so [00:42:00] timed, like I've found when I've read for people.

I've said, Oh, you know, your dog left on this particular day, just weeks before you had your baby, because it knew that it could leave you now, because you have this baby coming into the world. And it wanted to wait until it knew that you were going to be okay. And you would have something to focus on. So that's what I'm saying.

Things like that happen all of the time. It's like when we hear, you know, somebody's grandfather passes away and like three days later, you know, the, the, the baby comes into the world. It's sort of like, you know, one goes out and one comes in. And I think sometimes babies come into the world at the perfect divine timing because they help us to have something positive to look forward to in a moment that could be so dark.

So you often hear that, that women's fathers pass away right when they're about to have a baby. I hear it all the time. Oh my gosh, my dad passed like a week before I had my son or, you know, three days after. It's just, I hear it so often and I just think, [00:43:00] God, that cannot be a coincidence. I feel like that's got to be something that is so aligned.

They're like, nope, if I'm going, you're waiting until this one comes in. So they have something to look forward to and know that there's, you know, more to come that's positive. And we don't have to sit in that grief and that loss and that darkness. Spirit of very clever.

Amanda Parker: That is very clever. They're like, all right, get out now.

Yeah. Now's the time. Yes. And does it ever happen for you that, uh, you're just channeling that person who's in front of you? Like their own soul? Like, uh, by the way, your soul wants you to know da da da da da.

Jessica Lynne: A lot of the time when you're channeling in that kind of psychic way, I guess, you're picking up on things that that person is thinking or feeling and you're validating things that they already know to be true.

So sometimes when you're tapping in, you're like, Oh my gosh, I'm feeling that this is how you've been. This is what you're wanting to achieve. This is what you're wanting to be. And they're like, Oh my God, I haven't said that to anyone. And I'm like, [00:44:00] I know, but if this is what you need to hear, it's like almost sometimes you need us to be mirrors to sit there and like, Regurgitate things to you that you've already been thinking or things you've been buried deep down, just to give you the validation that you need in that moment, that you're not crazy, like the things that you are thinking and feeling are just that.

So I think a lot of the time in readings, it is validation that we're providing you with that help, you know, that you're on the right track or you're aligned with whatever you're thinking or feeling in that moment.

Amanda Parker: That's. A beautiful mirror. So people are also just hiring you to be a mirror. They are.

And I will gladly be. Yeah, it's, it's beautiful. Cause it's also, um, I think for people who have less experience, maybe doing like healing sessions or working with mediums, like it can feel, or I, I don't know if it actually feels that way in the moment, but it's almost like a transaction, which it's not, but Before you do it, before you have the courage to actually reach out, [00:45:00] it's just like, if you don't know someone, or you don't know who to reach out to, then you're like, I don't know, but it's actually like, uh, now, there's like, here we are, here's your mirror, and like, I'm channeling the deepest stuff that, is most important for you right now in this moment.

Jessica Lynne: Definitely. And I think it's really important too when you're seeking out a healer or a medium or whoever you're going to for advice or perhaps you don't even know why you're booking things. Sometimes people say to me, I don't know what happened. I just got on your page and I just clicked yes. And I just booked it.

And all these months later, here we are. And I'm like, Oh, okay. They're like, I don't even know why I'm here. I just did it. And I'm like, cool. You're spiriting clearly. No, let's see what it's all about. And then we dig in and we find out and they're like, Oh, that makes so much sense. I get that now. Um, so you know what?

I just feel like feel, you know, go with wherever you feel pulled. If you come across someone, let's just say someone's highly recommended. People like, Oh my God, you have to see this person. They're so great. Yada yada. And [00:46:00] you go and look at their page or you look at their website or you listen to them or whatever.

And you're like, Oh yeah. You're like, okay, I guess so. Don't book that. I'm like, unless you look at that person and you're like, Oh yeah, they're my kind of person. That's when you book somebody, because the thing is you need to have the same vibrational energy. We need to be on the same frequency. If you can't see this person being somebody that could be your friend or someone that you'd want to take advice from, they are not your medium.

So I'm not for everyone. Not everyone will like me, not everyone will blend with me. Like I'm pretty direct and you know, I like to have a good time and my readings are, you know, the mix of the light and the dark. And if you want a really serious reading, that's all like deep and like, I am not your girl.

Like we will go where we need to go, but we also. Live it up a bit too. So you need to pick the right person for you. And if it's not blending, it's not blending. And I don't force anything. I don't pretend to be able to read for everybody, you know, 99 percent people I can, but [00:47:00] there is the 1 percent where sometimes it just goes a little bit wonky.

And I like to say that. Because a lot of mediums message me on the side, they're like, Oh my God, Jess, has it ever happened to you where you can't read for someone? And I'm like, yes. And they're like, Oh my God, Oh, I'm not, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm like, no, there's nothing wrong with you. It is so normal.

Not everyone is for everybody. And the courage that you have in that moment to recognize that and close off the meeting within the first five or 10 minutes. That is the biggest lesson I've ever had to learn. And it's, it's ego. It's like, Oh no, I can do this. And you're like, push, push, push. And you lose your power because they're like, no, no, no.

And you're like, Oh, okay. I've learned to give it another go. If you get someone and they're like, no, sometimes I'm like, okay, let's try again. Let's go in a different direction. Try again. No, no, no. Okay. Can it. I just don't play because you lose your confidence, which means you're not going to get the same hits.

You've already lost it after they've said multiple no's it's over. [00:48:00] Can it move on? Next. And then you'll probably find half an hour later, you'll do one of the best channelings you've ever done for somebody else. And it was just because your energy didn't blend. Not everyone likes each other. Your spirits might not like me.

Like this person might not like my energy or we're not blending that day is what it is. Not your problem. Move on.

Amanda Parker: That was a beautiful lesson in boundaries. My God. Oh, you have to. I would like to pass that along to my younger self.

Jessica Lynne: Oh, me too. I wish that that chick like years ago was able to do this stuff, but you have to, you have to protect your peace.

And I think too that it's hard enough being a medium or being a healer and trusting what you get. If you sit there in a reading and have someone tell you that everything that you're sensing and feeling is not correct, and it's wrong, then you're wrong. You are going to doubt yourself for the rest of the day.

If not longer, it might domino. So I think you have to think, you know what? Spirit will always show up. Someone will always show up. Even if they can't validate that, it doesn't mean you're crazy and you're picking [00:49:00] up on the wrong thing. It's just that maybe they're not realizing who it is, or perhaps they don't want to hear that, or they only were fixated on one particular person or something like it could just be that.

So just. Wipe your hands of it, walk away, go to the next. It's the only thing you can do to keep going in this field. It's really important.

Amanda Parker: And it's like a great segue because I, for people who are listening who are like, I really want to do this , like I wanna become a medium. I wanna learn it, or I wanna practice or grow, what advice would you have for them?

Jessica Lynne: I feel like that confidence is huge. It's like, take the time, take the time to get to know who you are, how you channel, what, what your, um, I guess flow is, what you love to do, what works for you, what doesn't work for you. I think in those two years that I spent just exploring, I learned so much about myself.

I was like, Nope, this is [00:50:00] what I love. Even just little things, like I do 40 minute readings. It just works for me. I was like, any longer, I start to lose a bit of my zest for life. I get a little bit drained. I'm like 30 minutes is too short. I'm like 40 minutes is kind of good. I feel like that kind of works for me, but you have to figure that stuff out for yourself.

You start out and you're like, okay, everyone else does an hour. Everyone else does this cool. Observe what everyone else does, but at the end of day stuff, what everyone else does, you do what's good for you. And maybe you take a little piece of someone else and you're like, cool. I like the way they do that.

Or I like that person's this create your own version of what you do, but the magic is in the time. It's the time that you take to figure out what works for you. That's when you truly find your confidence in your power and you start to ground yourself in what you're doing here. So. Take the time. Don't rush these things.

It takes time.

Amanda Parker: That is beautiful. As I think about my 90 minute coaching sessions, my clients have had to [00:51:00] develop some muscles.

Jessica Lynne: Yeah. Well, you know, you know what works for you, you know, what's too short, you know, what's too long, you know, when you're pushing it, when you're not. You just got to find the sweet spot for you with whatever works.

And, you know, you know, you better than anybody else and you'll figure it out in time. So just trust

Amanda Parker: that too. So I know we're coming close to the end of our time together. I'd love to leave people with some, I don't know, recommendations of like books or podcasts. Are there any people that you follow or recommend if people want to Learn more, dive deeper.

And of course, also your stuff, because I'm going to share all of that in the show notes and definitely, but also anyone else that has inspired you along the way.

Jessica Lynne: Yeah. So, um, first of all, I am inspired by so many different people in so many different areas. And I think that the most important thing you can do if you're starting out in this industry is build your community.

Get to know people like, you know, the first thing that I did was reach out to other [00:52:00] mediums or other healers and get to know who they are and their style and building that community of people that love you and support you and you get to be there for them to like, there's some of the best friendships that I've made, like along the way, honestly, I feel so blessed to know these people and half of them on the other side of the world.

Like who would have thought that I would be connecting with these like minded people, sometimes even better than my friends, because they get it. Like they're the ones that go, Oh my God. Yes. That full moon affected me too. And they're like, Oh my God, have you experienced this? And I'm like, yes. And like, you just thrive off each other's energy.

It's so amazing. Honestly, a lot of the people that I've been inspired by have all been on my podcast already. So if you want to go to, um, talk spirit to me is my podcast, um, on Spotify or Apple, go through the list. Nearly all of my guests will actually, all of my guests, the people are inspired me because I don't have anyone that's shit on my podcast.

Really. Um, so go through the list and find who you want. I have people [00:53:00] in all different areas, but I think that the person that has, Really inspired me the most, like recently really has been, um, her name's the rich witch next door. So she's in America. Um, I know I love her tag. It's so good. Um, her name's Emily.

So she is into manifestation. So she's like the manifestation queen. She has helped me to implant so many of my hopes and dreams into my life and helped me manifest all of these things into fruition. And she's just like. I go to, for me in that space, I love manifestation by the way, even Stephanie Keith is amazing.

Um, look her up to, she's the law of attraction. I'm into all of that kind of stuff, but yeah, there, there are some of my favorite go tos, but definitely go and check out my podcast because you love all my guests on there too. But if you want to find me, I am on Instagram and Tik TOK at Jessica Lynne medium ship, or you can go to my website, Jessica Lynne, mediumship.
