I Went To A Psychic… Here’s What She Told Me About My Business

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a psychic medium. Not for business advice. I went to connect with my dad, who passed away three months ago today.
If you didn’t already know — I’m very woo-woo. Big on energy. Love a crystal. Got a couple of psychics saved in my phone. I even have the angel numbers of my dad, son, and grandfather tattooed on me. So yes, very woo.
While the session did exactly what I needed (yes, I connected with Dad, and yes, it was glorious), the psychic also dropped a few messages about my work. The kind of messages that make you stop, breathe, and go, “Okay… noted.”
I wouldn’t normally share this sort of thing, but if you’re anything like me and running on a bit of a hamster wheel right now, you might need the reminders, too.
1. Do the f*cking thing
If you're sitting on something — an offer, a book, a program, a pivot — and you know it’s going to work or set you apart… stop sitting on it.
Before I’d even opened my mouth in the session, she said: “You’ve written a book and done nothing with it, haven’t you?”
Correct. Gut punch. Truth.
I’d written Your Brain Is A Wonderful Place six months prior and hadn’t launched it yet.
So I launched it. I didn't overthink it. I just did it, and yes, it sold out. Twice.
So if you're waiting for a sign to take action on the thing you're meant to bring into the world? This is it. Go do the f*cking thing.

2. Stop sometimes. Like, really stop.
During the session, I got a gentle (okay, maybe not-so-gentle) kick up the bum from my dad. Apparently, I’ve been prioritising work over playtime with my son. And yeah… that one hit.
I love my work. I’m proud of what I’ve built, but it’s never more important than my family.
Still — it’s easy to get caught in the hustle, the high of momentum when something’s working, or the dopamine hits of progress.
So here’s the reminder from a medium, from my dad, and now from me: Pause. Play. Step
back. Be there.
3. Creativity flows where energy goes.
I’ve been a writer since I was little. Like really little. While other girls were writing love letters to Justin Timberlake, I was writing poems, stories, and reflective rants like this one.
But when writing becomes your job, it’s easy to stop doing it for yourself. You write for briefs, deadlines, and deliverables. Not for you.
That was another nudge from the session: To write for me again. To use it as an outlet, a release, a place to put all the stuff that doesn’t fit on a sales page.
For you, maybe it’s not writing. Maybe it’s painting, baking, boxing, dance, design — whatever it is, go pick it back up. That creative part of you is still there, and it needs somewhere to go.
I don’t share this to be soft or sentimental. I share it because it matters.
Business is beautiful, but it’s easy to lose ourselves in building the thing we love.
So maybe you needed this reminder too: To do the thing, to stop every now and then and to pick up the part of you that used to feel fun.
It’s not always about what's next. Sometimes, it’s just about coming home to yourself.
