Kate is a psychic medium, and her story about growing up differently challenged everything I thought I knew about intuition.
We sit down to talk about what it means to be a highly sensitive child. It is not just about what you see, but how you move through the world when your empathy is tuned to a frequency that others cannot pick up on. It is a lonely way to grow up, but it offers a specific kind of clarity.
Kate describes navigating these unseen perceptions without a roadmap. We talk about the weight of carrying other people's emotions and the long process of learning that your intuition is not something to be afraid of or fixed. It is a quiet conversation about finding safety in your own skin.
What we cover:
- Growing up seeing spirits and feeling everyone else's emotions as her own
- The park incident that changed everything for her as a mother and a medium
- Why a skin cancer diagnosis forced her to stop deferring and start leading
- The difference between being read by someone else and learning to read yourself
- How she built a methodology to teach people the mechanics of their own intuition
- The story of a six-year-old girl and a grandfather she refused to speak to for twenty years
