As the season premier of Long Island Medium (Theresa Caputo) is
quickly approaching & the network is airing the promos, it brings with it
more questions. I love this show. I have a huge amount of
respect for Theresa and appreciate her showing the world what it is that we do,
one episode at a time; however, it also brings along with it more questions about
what exactly I do & how I do it. I can't answer for any other medium, but
I thought I'd write a blog to answer the single most frequently asked question I
get. This question comes from my clients, people interviewing me, friends,
family, & strangers I meet on a daily basis.
What's it like being a
Psychic Medium?, Describe a day in your Life
This is such a generalized question, but i get this questions numerous times a day.
I'm going to try to do the impossible...explain what it's like to have this ability. It's really a combination of feelings. First & foremost, I am SO very appreciative. I thank God every day, but more importantly, I am thankful to the thousands of people who have contacted me, most are total strangers, and who are willing to not only embrace my gift, but who often have to wait weeks or even months to speak to me but still allow me to share such a personal, private, and often life changing experience with them....for all of this I am grateful.
There are so many feelings that go along with this "job"-satisfaction, sadness (my heart goes out to all of these people, some in quite a bit of pain over their loss), love, joy....but what most people don't realize is how difficult of a life it truly can be when you have this ability. It's not just a full time job, it becomes part of your life. I typically begin my day at 4am, getting myself mentally awake and ready for not only my clients in this world, but my clients in the spirit world as well. I do sessions & often work 12-14 hour days. Then, I try to quickly catch up to all those people on Facebook & Twitter who are trying to reach out to me. I never want anyone to feel ignored. I then try to squeeze in the typical American household time (homework with the kids, TV, dinner, etc). It can be physically & emotionally draining to communicate with those who have passed even for a little while, doing it all day every day is exhausting. I then get up and do it all again.
When I'm out on "free time", I'm still working...often approaching strangers to give them messages or just working at blocking out all the spirits trying to communicate. I travel frequently, sometimes it seems I'm in the car, more than I'm in my bed. This does take a toll on my family as well. I have 3 children. Between traveling and sessions, I really don't get as much quality time with them as I once did. My husband and I both quit our other full time jobs to do this full time, (and then some). I'm so glad I have John, without him, no one would get scheduled...I'm doing sessions....I can't be in 2 places at once. There are often days when we barely get to have a conversation.
I'm not writing this blog to seem ungrateful or to complain in any way, believe me, I appreciate this ability & all of those people who support me and share their lives with me every day and I NEVER take it lightly; but sometimes when people say "It must be so fun doing what you do", I reply, "yes, it's amazing and I LOVE it!" , but being completely honest here, there is a down side and it isn't as easy as everyone thinks. I can also honestly say that I wouldn't be happy going back to a "normal" job. John, Cody, & I all work way more hours than we ever thought we would, but there are so many other rewards... The smiles on so many faces, the confusion when I tell them something I couldn't possibly know, the peace that some people get after years of sadness, the tears of finally letting things go.....these things make it all worth it. This is who I am...I am a Psychic Medium
& I wouldn't have it any other way!
