At the beginning of every session, I always asked clients not to give me any information during the reading, other than to answer my questions with, “Yes,” “No,” or “I don’t know,” and if I asked a question that required anything more, I wanted only the briefest answer possible.

Not only did this help me offer a clean reading, it removed any speculation that I was merely feeding back what I’d already been told, or that I was making educated guesses.

In other words, it removed the possibility that I was a fraud.

I knew nothing when the sessions started, other than who it was they hoped would come through or what they hoped to achieve from our time together.

In the interests of brevity, what is written below is a condensed version of the reading.

LB is on the other side of our Zoom chat. Mid-40s, salt and pepper hair, handsome and well groomed, he is hoping to connect with his husband, DN. He has a kind face but looks desperately sad. It’s only been about 6 months since DN returned to spirit.

I tune in to see if anyone will come through.

“I’ve got a male energy here, and the first thing I notice is a big, wide smile.”
