Nobody warns you about this side of it.

In this solo episode, I share what happened when a visitor to my free online practice circle turned on me — calling me evil and threatening to drag my name through the mud. This isn't a gossip session or a rehash of an argument. It's an honest look at the shadow side of the spiritual community: what happens when ego gets in the way, why being a medium doesn't automatically make someone kind, and what I learned about protecting the people in my space as a facilitator.

If you're developing your mediumship or psychic abilities, sooner or later you'll meet someone like this — I hope my experience helps you feel less alone when you do.

Matt x 🔮✨

This month, I'm joined by psychic medium, witch, and all-round force of nature Anthony Lightz — and what a conversation this is!

Anthony grew up in rural Illinois in a conservative household shaped by evangelical religion, and spent years quietly suppressing two enormous parts of himself: his sexuality and his gifts. In this episode, Anthony opens up about what it was like to grow up gay and psychic in a cornfield, to pray the gay away, to have his witchy books confiscated at fifteen, and to eventually find his way back to all of it.

We talk about religious trauma, the surprising parallels between coming out of the closet and coming out of the broom cupboard, and how stepping into his authentic self transformed not just his life — but his relationship with his Dad too.

Warm, funny, and deeply real. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they had to hide who they were.

Happy Pride. 🌈🔮✨

So, I finally did it. I pressed live on TikTok — candles lit, cards shuffled, settings researched to within an inch of their life. And then... I completely fell apart.

This episode is me being honest about what happened when I tried to step into a version of mediumship that isn't really mine. The 48-hour spiral that followed taught me more about my own practice — and my own self-doubt — than almost anything else has. It turns out the scaffolding was all in place. The house, though? Empty.

I also come clean about the daily meditation routine I promised you on the beach episode. Spoiler: it lasted one day.

If you've ever tried something, crashed, and had to sit with that cringe for a while — this one's for you. 🌧️✨
