## Resource

In this episode of Spirit School, I’m answering a beautiful question from listener Jackie, who asked how I sustain my energy as a medium -especially as a working mom starting her own animal communication business. I share the real behind-the-scenes of what it’s looked like to serve Spirit for 12+ years while raising a family, navigating burnout, recovering from an audit, and building a business rooted in ethics and capacity - not just hustle. You’ll hear me reflect on: The difference between what I can do and what I should do My energetic boundaries and why I rarely book more than 4–6 readings a week How I use my calendar as a psychic tool to know when I should and shouldn’t work The role of compassion fatigue and spiritual integrity in my decisions How I’ve diversified my work beyond readings to honour my own sustainability If you’ve ever asked yourself “How much can I really hold?”—this one’s for you.
