In this mini episode, Gen responds to a listener question that stopped her in her tracks. Their question: how do you know what's grief psychosis and what's real? Gen's answer is warm, grounding, and deeply personal.

Gen walks listeners through six of the most common signs that someone is opening up to mediumship, including clairaudience, knowing when someone has passed before being told, visitation dreams, heightened sensitivity to energy, synchronicities and signs, and a sudden pull toward all things metaphysical. She draws on her own lived experiences throughout.

But this episode isn't just about recognizing the signs. It's also about the doubt that almost always comes with them. She reminds listeners that you don't have to become a practicing medium to honor what's happening within you. You just have to be willing to stop explaining it away long enough to actually experience it.
