Thanks so much , Jen , for having me . I'm so excited to be here . This is wonderful and it's just great to be here . I'm so grateful that you asked and reached out .
Yes , I'm so , so , so excited for today . So , tabitha , you are a psychic medium which I love , and I would just love to know , like , how did you find that out ? Like , what can you bring us back ? Like , was it family , was it you ? How did you come to that gifting ?
I am a licensed school teacher . So while I was a teacher I just felt this call to look into Reiki energy healing and at the time now I'm like connecting the dots . Now that I'm a little older I think I connected them before , but at the time my mom was actually going through like a sudden drug addiction . Actually it just felt like .
To me at the time it felt like it kind of happened overnight and it was like prolonged and it happened for many years on end . And she's better to this day and we're back on track and everything's good . But it was very terrifying and I think at the time that's why I reached out to become a Reiki practitioner .
I didn't really put the two and two together until many years later , but it was almost like on a subconscious level that that happened . So the very first time that I gave Reiki to my classmate at the time I experienced clairvoyance which I did not know . That's what was happening at that time .
I was so like vulnerable and you know , in a good way , and like just open to the process . And afterwards they're like oh , explain your experience .
And I'm like well , I saw a Native American man and he kept saying thank you to me and they're like looking at me like you know , like what you know and I'm just saying it like it's nonchalant and I didn't realize when I'm like , oh my gosh , that was clairvoyance . That was a real experience To me . He felt like he was in the room .
I didn't physically see him with my own eyes , of course , it was more like my third eye experience . So , with that being said , every time afterwards I would give Reiki to a client . I kept seeing and hearing and experiencing these different messages that would pop up and I didn't really know what to do with them .
I shared what I was experiencing , but there were quite a few times where my clients would look at me and be like okay , like I didn't know how to like . I would just tell them and that was it so it was helpful . But , but not . I could tell that there was so much more to the experience .
So I actually received a reading myself from another psychic medium and she told me you know , you're supposed to be giving readings for a living , you're supposed to be doing this professionally . And I didn't tell her anything . She had no clue that I was receiving these messages . She had no idea . And that's the beauty about being a psychic medium , right ?
And so after she told me that , my soul lit up , I left her studio just feeling on top of the world , because I knew from my own heart that that was confirmation from spirit , from God , from consciousness , that this is the path that I am meant to be on and it's so eye-opening and uplifting and healing as well .
So , you know , so it started off as a teacher and then I became a Reiki practitioner and so it just it kind of all rolled into one another , and there was other experiences when I was younger as well , but that's kind of how it started , in a nutshell , you know , to say the least .
And I just kept practicing and I worked with other mentors and mediums and they just brought it out in me , yeah , and there's so much more to it , but that's kind of the gist . So thanks for asking .
Yeah , how old were you when that happened or when you kind of made that switch ? Yeah , so I'm trying to think .
I've been a Reiki practitioner , I think , for 14 years as of today , I believe 14 or 15 years . It's been a while , so I gosh . I graduated from OSU in 2010 , I believe . So , yeah , so 14 years . So as soon as I graduated I started incorporating Reiki into my life , and so that's kind of when it started , yeah .
And then the psychic mediumship , you know professionally , has been for about 10 years now .
Can I , can we go back to that moment in time ? As far as the connection with your mom Like did , were you wanting to do Reiki for her and to heal her , and did that happen ?
Yeah , and I'm trying to think back on it and it's weird because it's kind of a blur a little bit on it . And it's weird because it's kind of a blur a little bit .
And I think when you do experience something traumatic , you know , as a licensed therapist , right that you , you , you know that like I think , at least from my experience , like the trauma is a little vague and I only have certain parts that I remember .
But I just remember , you know , going into the bookstore and seeing this magazine and just being intuitively like drawn to it . It's , and I didn't even know how to pronounce Reiki at first and I just felt like it was just calling me like this and I had no idea what it was .
And at the time I was also starting to get more into oracle cards as well and it just all felt like those were the things that were helping me heal at that time , because I know that my mom needed healing and as I was doing that , I was sending it to her , because as a Reiki practitioner , well , anyone really can send love and healing out .
So it was certainly like hand in hand .
And I remember when I went out to Arizona I actually met up with one of her friends that lived out there and that's when she was going through that experience and her friend had no idea and I just remember feeling like so sad and depressed because no one really knew about it , and that was part of my process as well .
So I certainly , to this day , still give my mom Reiki healing at a distance and she's experienced it in person as well , and so I do think it helps . But I think then , when I first started it , I think it was a healing mechanism for myself at the time and it was more of like an intuitive calling of this is just the path that I'm supposed to be on .
It was like serendipitous , I guess is the way to explain it .
Yeah , I mean , it's so interesting because I feel like spirituality
¶ Tabitha Stitt: From Teacher to Psychic Medium
now is like pop culture and it's in and it's more accepted . But when I hear your story about you know 10 , 14 years ago and you live in Ohio , I'm like how did you even find like people to mentor you ? What was that like ? Did you feel alone in that , or were you able to find people quickly that could guide ?
you ? Yeah , you know , I'm trying to think . I think when was that ? I think that was a 2014 when I received that message from that psychic medium , or that might not be the right date .
I'm trying to think of the exact years that it all happened , but as soon as I heard that message from her , which aligned perfectly with Reiki , that's when the mentorship happened with the other psychic mediums , because she recommended very specific people to women specifically that live in Cincinnati , ohio , and so I was able just to travel from Columbus to Cincinnati
, which is only about an hour and a half , two hour drive , and I actually really loved it and enjoyed it , and so it was very , very healing for me to have that . So psychic mediumship is a little different than Reiki , but essentially it's all healing .
You know you're healing in one way compared to the other , but at the end of the day , it's all healing , no matter how you look at it , and so that was the group that I connected with the most at that time and , as far as Reiki goes , that was a weekend experience and , you know , I think my clients honestly helped me feel connected and feel that healing
experience from them , because , as I'm offering that Reiki , I would experience that myself as well , so it was hand in hand as far as the connection and the healing goes . Can you talk ?
about your psychic mediumship like what that would look like .
Yeah absolutely so . It has certainly progressed a whole lot over the years . The mentors that I worked with . They focus mainly on mediumship , which is when you are connecting with someone's loved one , and then the psychic part is where I'm kind of working .
That's where I focus on is connecting with my clients one on one , so I can still bring through loved ones , but I've noticed in my work that it's transitioned from loved ones into focusing more on their own life and whatever the issue is that they want to talk about .
Or if they come to me for anything , it could be about relationships , it could be about their career , they could just be interested , and a lot of them are like I'm just open , tell me whatever spirit has to offer me .
And so I do those mainly over Zoom sessions just because so that way I can connect with people all over the world and I have a larger community that I work with as far as other psychic mediums , so we get together in our own little circle also , which I love that , and so we're always .
It's not even really practicing anymore , it's more just like as far as the psychic mediumship goes with the others . It's more about just connecting with them and feeling that love and to offer and to receive and and just experiencing that . But with my clients I do work , mainly one-on-one , and I also have a spiritual circle as well .
You're the circle for your soul's purpose , which you can receive messages collectively on zoom also . So it is a live , but it's virtual and so , yeah , so my clients will come in and what I do is every . Every psychic medium works a little differently and we focus on different things , so it depends on who you end up choosing to go with .
But for me personally , I close my eyes and I've always done that since day one , and I never really knew why . And so I started working with a trance and a trance mediumship . So , trance speaking , and this mentor told me he was like Tabitha , you are going beyond a psychic reading , you're actually going into a trance state .
And I was like ohitha , you are going beyond a psychic reading , you're actually going into a trance state . And I was like , oh my gosh , I guess all of this work is slightly a trance state because you are tapping into that conscious level which is beyond our own . Like you know , it's kind of unfathomable , you know , experiencing that .
So I closed my eyes and I just received these messages and I usually go like a million miles a minute because just the information . Yeah , yeah , exactly , and I always record the sessions because of that reason and plus , I want my clients to just experience it and not have to worry about trying to remember everything .
And they can jot down notes if they want , but the readings are very I like to use the word empowering , but they're insightful , they're clarifying and a lot of times when we get readings , I say we , because I get readings still myself .
You know we're going in and usually we have an idea of the information that we want to hear right , or we want to hear we're on the right path or should we take a different path ? Or what would it look like if I do A , b or C ? And that tends to be where my readings focus on is just helping confirm for them .
But my clients honestly come in and I don't want any information , you know , because the less information I know , the better . I don't look up anyone ahead of time . I'm like I don't want to know anything because that gets in my way personally with the work that I do .
Of course , if you say some things , it's okay , I'll look past it , it's no big deal , but , yeah , they're very healing , and I never thought that psychic mediumship is a form of healing , but it really is , because you're not only providing the messages for them , like receiving confirmation or validation or I'm trying to think of what that other word is Like ,
you're giving them this idea that like , for example , like if a loved one comes in , that life really does exist after we pass , and so that's that's mainly where the readings go , as far as you know a personal reading with me but they are very like life altering and I do believe that .
But yeah , so , so I love receiving them and I love offering them and giving them , and I do it more from like a trance , a light trance state as well .
So , yeah , and when you're in that trance state , are you connecting with the other person's higher self and it's okay if you can't categorize it , because sometimes it's not helpful to categorize it or to name it or does it feel like you're connecting with their spirit , guides , or a little bit of everything , all their timelines ?
I don't know how would you describe that .
No , that's a great , great question , because a lot of people want to know . You know , who are you exactly connected with ? The way that I work personally , it's like a larger collective consciousness , you know , and when I say that I don't mean there's like a million people coming to me , it's just the way that I do it .
It's just like this , this sense of love and the information is coming so quickly . So I think , honestly , it's partly like coming from my personal client . You know that from them personally , like their soul , so that so my client's soul it's coming from from them .
But then , of course , if a loved one does come through , I do feel like that is coming from that specific loved one . But to me it's just like a larger collectiveness . It's like this larger consciousness which we're , you know , as human beings and living this experience as a human .
We have our souls and I do feel like that's where the information is coming from , is that person's soul and that's . I guess that's the way I would explain it .
Sometimes you know specific guides , I , you know , sometimes I'll tap in and I'll notice that , you know , my information is a little higher energy , like when I'm working , but then all of a sudden , when I feel like a specific guide comes through .
You know , they tend to be like very wise and their energy is a lot more mellow , and so I will notice that I become like my energy will start to slow down a little bit and I'll talk a lot slower , and then I'll feel like it's more of a guide or a specific entity or specific person that's coming through .
So really it's just the change in energy that I can feel the difference . But there are psychic mediums out there that work a lot differently , like maybe they see angels , or maybe they do very vividly see those loved ones , and that's all that they're seeing coming through . But yeah , so to me it's more of a collectiveness .
Yeah , what does it feel like for you going into that trance and then coming out of it ? What is your physical ? Are you high after they're like oh my gosh , I was so great . Or do you feel exhausted ?
Yeah , I know that some there are some people that I that have said they feel exhausted after doing certain energy work .
To me , I feel I feel really wonderful , I feel great , and I think it's because this is the work that's intended for me to do , and so I think if we're doing something that that exhausts us , I mean there could be different reasons for that and you know . So I guess I'll just speak on my own behalf
¶ Client Readings: Love, Relationships, Empowerment
, but I do feel quite energized , not like stoned or you know that kind of high , but more like I just feel elevated and I feel really good . And I feel like I don't know , it just feels really good , it feels very aligned I think that you use that word before .
You feel very aligned , and I can get into it very quickly , as before , I think it all comes down to , you know , working with your own mind and you know , sometimes , you know when I first started doing this work , I would have to have a candle lit and you know , sometimes , you know when I first started doing this work , I would have to have a candle lit
and you know , I felt like I would have to have this whole ritual . And now I think , because I've been doing it for so long .
It's like , ok , it's like I have this connection , like hey , all right , you know that I'm about to give a reading , and so I just close my eyes for a few moments and then I tap in and then there we are , and then the images start coming immediately and wow , I call it channeling information , but some people wouldn't agree to use the word channel .
I just think , you know , I'm an instrument , I'm , you know , I'm here as the medium , however you want to explain it , but when I'm receiving these messages , they feel , you know , it's almost like I'm out of body slightly . Like I'm still very aware that I'm here , but there's a huge majority of the reading where I don't even remember it at all .
Like I'm aware that I'm here , but you know , things are just the energy connecting with that or blending with a spirit world . It really it does feel nice . Yeah , I will . It feels very good . Yeah , for sure . Yeah , because it's all love essentially in my mind .
And and if there is an issue that pops up because we are human and things aren't perfect , right , we have a lot of things that come up Even when those things do pop up , I just feel like there's a shift in my energy slightly and I'll get certain images , nothing specific , you know like there's not a certain specific symbol that pops up in my mind , except
for when we talk to their mom or their dad , but besides that it will be specific to my client . Okay , if that makes sense , I might have confused that , but um , okay . Now I forget where I was even going with that Um , but I can just feel as if , like okay , now we're going to talk about something um a little bit more serious , but it's never negative .
Like I'm not here to you know , shame anyone , you know that's not my purpose . My purpose is to help , and always for the highest good .
So if there is something that we need to talk about , which happens often , my intention is to be like okay , spirit , how can we help this person , what can we do , what can we say and what are the practical tools and the tips and the solutions ?
And so , yeah , I was kind of going on a tangent there , but , yeah , I think the energy just shifts and the more that you do this work , the more it's weird , it's like , the more sensitive you are to it , but then again it's like you don't feel it as much .
At the same time , it's not as big of a deal , you know , you just it's like , okay , you're in the flow and then you go .
Yeah , well , I can imagine you have to kind of get your brain or your ego , your everything out of the way in order for something else to come in , and mastering that connection . And I think that's a question like does it feel like you can turn it on and you can turn it off ? Does it feel like you have authority or autonomy over that ?
Yes , for sure . You know , there was a long time ago where , when I started learning specific trance techniques , I did get nervous , because when you go into a deeper trance , you really are letting the mental mind go almost 99 , 100% of the time . And so I I asked my mentor , through Arthur Finley .
I'm like you know , is there any negativity that can take over ? You know , you see , you watch like these scary movies and every person that I talked to , every mentor that I talked to , they're like I've never experienced anything like that , nothing scary or anything . So I do , you know , I just I don't feel anything like that .
You know nothing scary or anything like that , and I do . I feel like I can turn it on and off . So it's interesting because when you know I'm out in public and people are like , oh well , what do you do for a living , I'm like , well , I'm a psychic medium and you know you have to be .
There's a part of me that's like a little hesitant to say that only because you just never know what someone's opinion is . You know , this work is kind of taboo , but not really .
I mean , I think more and more people are really reaching out to us as as healers and a form of counseling , and you know , everyone has their own techniques and this really is healing , and I'll say that again . But , um , but yeah , so what ?
So I immediately follow up with hey , I'm a psychic medium , but don't worry , I'm I'm not tapping in right now , I'm not reading your minds and I and it's the truth , like you know , I I only work when I work , pretty much , and that's how it's set up .
But we're all intuitive , so we can certainly pick up on certain vibes , or we just have a feeling not to go a certain way , or , oh , you know that person's going through something . How can I help ? Or do I need to let go a little bit ? You know , so we're all , we all use that intuition to help us , for sure .
So yeah , I mean , I feel it's a very similar experience of being a therapist , when they ask you what you do , and it's like I get a little bit more like oh okay , you know , don't psychoanalyze me . And I'm like bro , I'm not , you know , I'm not working right now . I'm not working right now , but if you want to talk about it .
I'm feeling some vibes .
Exactly . Yes , I can feel the persistence , so there might be something more , but we won't go there . Yeah , exactly , because it does come from a place of like self preservation first , you know , of like having the boundaries and having your own space , and I think consent is a big part too . Right , are they inviting me into this or not ?
And if they are , do I want that ? Oh yeah , for sure .
Yeah , exactly , and so , like you said , you can definitely relate , especially if you're out in public , like you know , the work that we do is helpful and we have to , you know , know , pull out our tools and our techniques and you know , or you know , however you want to say it , but it is a form of work in the best way possible , you know , in the best
way . But when you're out , you're like you know , I just , you know , I just want to have a glass of wine .
I'm , you know , I'm not really wanting to give you a reading right now , or you know , but , and even then it's not the right environment , at at least for me , Like I have to have like a quiet , serene environment , like very peaceful , and you know I've been at expos where things are a little bit chaotic , but that's the expectation , you know .
So you have to work through that , but you know not a surprise attack at dinner .
Yeah .
I'm like , if you want , we can give a reading . You know , just sign up and you know so .
Yeah , and I also think there's sometimes not always , but there can be this like oh , I want therapy or I want a reading , but I also want to see if you're full of shit you know like . So there's that testing , I think a little bit that can be interesting .
And so I think it's important , if you're a healer at any sorts , to have your own boundaries of and you feel that , you feel that intuition of like I'm not going to read you just so you feel like I got spun on for you .
Yes , exactly , and luckily , I've only had maybe three to five of those experiences and , you know , and I give them a reading because that's what they're here for . But you , you know , and I don't want to assume , but you know , I can feel , I can feel the resistance , I can feel the the hard shell set up and it's more about testing me .
But you know , it's kind of a test for myself . You know , that's kind of what I think of is what I do . I'm like , ok , well , let's , I'm going to do this , I'm going to work as best as I can .
And , honestly , when I think about that from my perspective , I'm like , even if this person is testing me , I know the work that I do is very good and I get all this wonderful feedback , and and then I just think like , maybe that person you know , I'll just look past that and maybe , maybe I'm the best person for them to help them break open that shell , to
help them believe and to know that they can do it and and . So that's my perspective of it . But of course , I want , you know , my clients and my the sitters to come in that are there for the reason of hey , I believe in what you do and I'm here to help myself as well , so does that make for a ?
better reading . If somebody's more open , oh for sure , yeah , absolutely yeah , definitely Because .
But the thing is is like I think if you're , if you're coming in for psychic reading , reading , you already are open , unless , again , like you said , unless you're just you know , you have the intentions of just testing someone .
But yeah , I definitely do feel like if you're here receiving a reading , you certainly are open , and I love that , because the more open minded you are , the less resistance there is and the more that the information can flow a little easier .
But I usually feel like it flows pretty easy , no matter what , and if I'm getting caught up , like if I feel distracted , it may be because that person is distracted , or if I feel blocked , it could just be symbolic for that person somehow feels blocked , and so I'll play on that a little bit and see how that , you know , plays out .
But for the most part , yeah , everyone is very , very open and I love it .
So , yeah , so in the session , when you go into a trance , do they ask questions throughout the session or do you collect questions before and then you just put it like it's a pure conscious download ? Yeah , I will say it's a pretty quick download . I don't know if those are words .
Yeah , I do tell them ahead of time like , hey , have any questions prepared ahead of time . But once we get into the session , you know , if they have a question , I tell them .
I'm like , look , I know that questions pop up as we go through this because I've had my own readings and so I'm like , just jump in , you're totally fine , it doesn't bother me , it doesn't interrupt me . You know , I've had sessions where people they just they . It's almost like they just need to talk about certain things .
So I'll sit there for a little while and listen and be open and hold the space for them . But I'm like , okay , well , let's , let's get these messages going . But yeah , so it's . It's interesting how that plays out .
Mm , hmm , are you seeing a theme in maybe this year's readings or even with your group , of what's happening right now , like on a collective
¶ The Role of Tarot and Oracle Cards
level ?
So oh , gosh yeah A lot . I'm like , my mind immediately goes to , you know , a topic that we probably don't want to discuss . But you know , there's so much going on in the world and we're all feeling it .
And we , we really do feel it , and sometimes we don't even know why , why we're feeling a certain way or why we're feeling out of control or chaotic or super sad , or you know , and there's so many different factors .
So I do think that that's kind of a common theme , even though it may not be placed in those exact words , but I think that more and more people are wanting to utilize our intuitiveness .
I get that often like I know that I'm intuitive , or I know that I've experienced certain things , but I just don't know how to tap into it , or what do I do with this information ? I've experienced certain things , but I just don't know how to tap into it or what do I do with this information ?
So I'm actually creating a course myself where I'm going to then be the mentor and I'm going to help others tap into this intuitive psychicness also because , because I know that it is so healing and I remember from the get go , like I know I've got it , but I don't know what to do with it .
And so once I received that mentorship , that's what helped me and of course it's not about me , but it's , you know , helping the collective really , because if we're all helping each other , that's really what it's about , because we all have these tools that we could be utilizing more , but sometimes we just don't know what to do with them or how to apply them in
the best way , and so so that's a topic that's coming up A lot of times . You know , my clients are very like open and they're like , just , you know , whatever , whatever you've got , I would love to hear it , and I love that , because that in itself is open-mindedness , right .
But a lot of my clients are talking about , I noticed , you know , relationships and whether it has to do with an intimate relationship or even like the relationship you have with your career or your business or your boss or you know , and so it's all . It's .
A lot of it is about relationships and connection , and the underlying feeling of that oftentimes is feeling like stuck , feeling like I don't know what to do , or I've been with this person for a very long time and and it's , and it's almost like really underlying that is wanting to give ourselves permission to express ourselves , to be ourselves to , to discover more
about who we are . And there's so many moms out there especially that you know their , their full attention has been on their family for so long that they have , in a way I don't know if denied is the right word , but they've put their own expression like down a little bit and they haven't discovered a whole lot about themselves .
Naturally , because you know , I mean , you can do both , of course , but when you've got little ones , that's where your attention is right . And so I think more and more women especially , and men too , honestly , are just wanting to figure out , like , what can we do to feel more aligned with who we really are ?
The self-expression , the self-discovery , those are common topics and you know they might not be worded that way specifically , but looking at it , that's really like the underlying . You know what's the meaning , what's the purpose . You know , how can I best express myself and be myself ?
And , you know , meanwhile , not hurt anyone else or , you know , not downplay anything else . And it's like this juggling thing that we have to do as humans . You know , we see the hurt that's going on in the world and yet we also know that it's not very healthy to feel depressed by this . It's so in such a depth , you know , for a prolonged time .
Of course , I think that it's good to feel sad feelings , of course , but it's like how can we manage both ? And so those are , those are common topics that are that are coming up , and and so I think we're really coming to a realization that we have more of an impact than maybe what we think .
And this is a good thing , like , hey , we can do more , especially as a collective and coming together as a circle and as a group and just working together .
You know , at least that's what I'm seeing in the work that I'm doing and the people that are coming to me , and so there's so many different topics out there about so many different things , but yeah , do you um ever like go and look into the year ahead for you ?
do you feel like you could see a lot in the future , or does that feel like that's dangerous territory because anything can change and shift ?
I think that when I look in for myself , I feel like I'm looking at myself as if I'm not a psychic medium , because I'm like when I try and receive information for myself , it does pop up , but not the way as if I was working with someone else , if that makes sense , you know , it's like I don't have all the answers more or ?
less for me or for anyone really . I mean , I think that the information that comes through is based off of the current energy , but I do definitely know from my own experience and from others' experiences , we have so much power I don't know . It's like this weird dichotomy of like

we can't control things and yet we have so much control as well , so we can always lift ourselves up , we can always make changes , especially in our own minds .
You know we can be more mindful , and so I do think that certain visions will pop up for me , but I don't think it's necessarily like prophetic , at least from if I'm receiving something for myself , but I do feel like a lot of it's like symbology , which is honestly very , very powerful , Because then it's like open ended right .
So you can use this symbology and you , you can get quiet and you can meditate and you can write down the things that are popping up .
I do that often is where I'm just writing down so many things and it's coming quickly and I'll notice this is pretty cool and we can all do this where , as I'm writing , you know I'll be writing in like the first person you know , like I think that's the right way of explaining it Like you know I'm feeling this way , or these are my goals , and then , all
of a sudden , it'll start to change to you Like you are going to do this . And it's as if something is not taking over , but it's as if something's guiding me and it transitions .
So it's like allowing yourself to go into this state of flow by writing , and then it starts to turn into OK , something is guiding me and in those moments I guess , yeah , that's where the information would come from . But we all have that ability to do that . So that was pretty cool . I just thought about that .
I'm like , oh yeah , we can totally all do that .
That's funny because I , that's how I not all the time how I journal , but I've , I've done that exact same thing and , and I underline , you like it'll be like you , and I'm like sometimes it's like OK , grandma , ok I get it girl , thank you , I love it . I love it .
But it is that I never noticed that shift , that like how important or how significant that can be when you're kind of like opening the channel and allowing it to come through .
Yes , yes , yes , and I'm so glad that this topic came up because it's so powerful , because you really can start to feel the difference in your writing Like . At first it's more like and you feel like , oh , these are the things that are coming from my own brain .
And then , as you continue to write , you're , you're still there , you're still cognitive of what's happening , but it's as if something is now directing you and guiding you and and writing is is the way I mean , it's magical , it's , it's what I love to do as well , and not only typing , but also , you know , pen to paper , and there's so much power behind that
and it's just , yeah , it's magical . So , if you're listening to this , this is your key to try it , yeah .
Do it , and do you also do tarot and oracle ?
cards . So I , on my Instagram , I do read cards as like a collective , universal message . Look at it like an impromptu . These are because it's easier to do it that way and plus , there's so much fun and there's the images and the symbology behind it and it's very like entertaining .
But I also feel tapped in , but it's nowhere near as deep as when I have an intimate one-on-one connection with someone . So in my one-on-one readings the you know , the virtual ones , either face-to-face or virtual with personally , um or within my group I don't use cards , um .
Currently I have an offer up there where I will pull a card for you and you can receive an email reading . I might end up changing that because that's not really my favorite way of connecting at least one-on-one . It's more like I'd rather close my eyes because a lot of times the cards actually distract me a little bit as far as one-on-one goes .
But they are fun to do , like on you know , like on YouTube and on . Instagram and stuff like that , because it does bring us together and the symbology is there to where , um , you really can't apply it to your situation , and that's the intention there . But , um , I do use the cards for myself , for sure . Um , I just I'm obsessed with them .
So I'm obsessed with books as well , and it's it's kind of like I don't know . It's like I can't possibly say it's my downfall , but I do get distracted a lot . I'm like , oh , look at how beautiful these cards are . Oh , this book and this self help book . And I'm like , okay , I need to get to work now .
But do you know ? Are you an astrology ?
No , I'm not , I don't know . I know that , I know my sign and that's basically as far as , as far as I go with that . Um , a lot of people think , um , they like connect the two and two together , like , oh , you're psychic , so the astrology . But me , no , that's not . That's not how I am . I think a lot of psychic mediums are into that .
I'm totally into it , but I don't . I wouldn't be able to offer much information .
Well , I was just curious of what your moon is , from that description of like feeling distracted because it might be an air moon or not , I don't know , but I don't know a lot . I just interview people and I take snippets .
Yeah , yeah , you're probably having into the intuition as well , for sure . Yeah , and I don't know .
I think , at one point I did know that .
But I know that I'm a Gemini . That's based off of my birthday . That's all that I know .
Yes , my daughter's a Gemini . We have two sides , apparently , but you know , I think we all do right . It's so interesting because I learned tarot this year and that is the way that I have been able to feel the most connected to somebody else and it feels like spiritual and therapy . It's like quick , like I can go quickly with them .
So it's been a way of entering into that . But I cannot read for myself because I have a specific outcome on what I want , and it's so terrible .
No , I love it .
But I think that's the catch-22 is like we have all the answers within ourselves and we have intuitive gifts , and if we can be patient enough with ourselves to do that and we also can have guides with that , like it's not , it's not better or worse , it's not this or that , but I think it's that integration of allowing somebody to guide you and then also
realizing you can guide yourself , and there's seasons and times where we need both ?
Yes , absolutely , and I'm glad that you brought that up , because the cards to me and from my understanding and what it sounds like through you as well , the cards are a tool out of many that we can use that give us that connection . It's almost as if as soon as we start using it just like , we said , a pen to paper or the cards it's like .
It's almost like the spirit world , however you want to call it , whatever you want to call it is like oh , okay , you want to connect , all right , and it's like this permission slip that we're giving the spirit world to work with us and it is . It is so interesting and fascinating to feel the difference . You can feel it for sure .
But yeah , and just to relay what you were saying , also , it's like we do have specific outcomes in our mind that we want for ourselves , and so it just depends on , like you know , how persistent we are .
Or you know , there's so many times where , grounded , it's like , okay , this is what I want , but maybe I can go this way to get it rather than going this , you know , and there's different options and I think that's a beautiful part about being human and having you know free will really , you know , is that we have different options , you know to do that .
I remember when a psychic medium told me I was looking at a house many years ago and she said the universe is providing you with options . And I love that . She was like every option that comes your way is going to be right for you . It's not , you know .
And I love that because that's what I needed to hear at the time , because I thought , oh my God , there's only one thing , and it's the only thing , and she's like no , no , no , like there's , there's multiple things that could go very well for you . So after that I'm like OK , open up a little bit more .
Yeah , there's no wrong choice , in a sense , like it's just an experience . It's this experience or it's this experience or this experience and that could feel a little better navigating life , that you're not going to mess up something because you're learning from it .
You're gaining an experience from it or we think what if it's the wrong thing ?
Or what if I'm wasting time , or I'm too old , I'm too young , and we have all of these different I don't know if you'd call them excuses or patterns or these thoughts that we use that kind of stall us a little bit , and maybe we need to be stalled a little bit or maybe we need to .
Just , I definitely think that we need to trust the process , but it's so much easier said than done , but really it really is just a learning experience , you know , and when you take the action , you look back and you either are like , for the most part you're usually like , oh , thank God , I did that , like I'm just , usually it's like a relief that it's just
done and over with , really . But sometimes you're like , oh crap , I could have done that a little differently , or maybe I shouldn't have said that .
But in those moments when you think , oh , I shouldn't have said that or oh , I could have done that differently , maybe the person on the other end of that experience or that situation or that scenario needed it to be done that way , if that makes sense .
Like sometimes you think that you messed up , but really maybe that person on the other flip side of the other coin needed it to happen that way . So that's helped me think okay . Well , even though I could have done things differently , maybe it just it needed to play out that way , for whatever reason .
So I'm going to try and just not be stressed out about it .
Yeah , and kind of trust that you know , I love that perspective . I think there's a lot of things in my life right now that I'm like oh man , you know , right now that I'm like oh man , you know . And so to have that perspective of I needed , or she needed that experience to understand something or to play out that way .
um , it's helpful . It's almost as if , like you , you only have a perspective from your own mind . But in those moments of if something were to happen , you're like like , oh crap , why did it happen that way ? That's the thing that helps me is to think okay , maybe that's it just needed to happen that way .
I don't understand it , I don't know why , but I trust that that's just how it needed to play out . So and then , that way we just don't beat ourselves up as much and , like you said , we just take it as a learning experience and continue to move forward , because so many times we just are so hard on ourselves , so hard .
You know it can really take us down . And you know we try and you know just get out of it the best way that we can . You know we're all learning , we're all trying . I always say this you know we're all trying to figure this out . We're all . We're all learning the same school as a human .
I'm curious if some clients I feel like love and money are very common threads or themes that people want to know . Is that the case with you and does it kind of shift , as you read of like I know you want to know how to make money but like here's your purpose .
Here's what you really need . Yeah , so that's a great question . Did you say love and money ? Were those the two ?
Yeah .
Yeah for sure . Um , you know , from my perspective it is hard . It is hard to do like your soul's work and make money doing that , at least at first , you know , and it's like so many people don't follow their soul's callings because it is so close to their heart that they're terrified to even put themselves out there .
Out there , you know , and for one example , one of my best friends , she is a brilliant artist and she does put herself out there , but she could put herself out there so much more and I'm like your work is so brilliant , but there's this like terrifying aspect that we think like , oh , this is a part of our souls , you know .
But I do think it is a common theme that does pop up , actually , and I always put the two hand in hand . As far as that goes , we can still do things on the side that will bring in the money , but it's interesting .
I always think about Joseph Campbell how he said something along the lines like follow your , your bliss and the opportunities will open for you .
Or the doors were open when there was only just walls , and so I think , the more that you really follow these intuitive notions , or even if you don't understand why , I do think that you can connect , that the money will come eventually , but a lot of times , like our expectations are , we want it like right away , or you know .
But money , I do believe that money will continue to flow to you in different , various ways , and so it's like we have to have this open perspective of like okay , this is what my heart is telling me to do , and I have to trust that I'm going to continue doing this , but then expect for that money to come in different ways as well , in addition to the work
. So , you know , we can just think of all different , different kinds of ways of doing that , but I do think it's a combination of both , and then eventually , it will get to a point where you'll fully be doing what you love to do , and then that money is there .
You know , and I'm trying to think of the man that wrote the chicken soup for your soul books , yeah , yeah . I think , I don't know why this example is coming up , but he was on the Secret and I that was really the thing that opened up my eye to all of this was .
I watched the Secret , the movie , and you know some of the scenes are so like they could have done a better job as far as , like , some of the scenes are kind of corny , but the way that it was like you know these authors in there like this is what it's all about is trusting , that is , following your purpose and your intuition and what that calling is that
natural gift that you have . It's so natural that you probably don't even know that that's what you're doing . You know , you just love doing it . So much to the point .
But the guy from the chicken soup I can't think of his name , but he , I think he visualized a check coming in or something like that and he finally put the proposal out and then that exact check came back to him . I know there's so many examples out there . That's really what it is , but I do think that the timing of it is different for everyone .
So the timing is different for everybody , which is kind of the concept of trusting or letting go of the expectation or , I guess , expanding the expectation that this could come here
¶ The Importance of Connecting with Energy
and this can come in here .
For sure . Yeah , I definitely feel like that and I feel I don't know it's so hard because you know it's so much easier to say trust the process than what it really is , you know .
But it's almost like you just have to do the things that you love to do , while also distracting yourself with other things that you love to do , and then just knowing you know , like the thing you know , and it's easier said than done , but I'm like I feel like that's kind of where the flow starts coming in and then , like serendipitous , things will start
happening and you're like , oh okay , I got a check in the mail . Or oh okay , I wasn't expecting that opportunity . Or oh okay , now I'm going to join this expo . And it just starts to build on top of one another and the momentum starts to go and you know at that point , you know , try not to . You know we get stuck in our ways .
You know , as humans and we sometimes I don't like to use the word sabotage necessarily , but it's like we have these deeper protective mechanisms that are subconscious and a lot of times when we are doing good , we might like start to back off or we don't believe it and we do things that stall us instead of building the momentum even more .
And so once we start stacking those it'll it'll like explode in such a positive way .
And I'm talking as if it's so easy and it's not , you know , I think it's just a matter of like believing in what you're doing and reaching out and connecting with people and doing the things that you find are scary , but that you know that are going to help you and not that it's selfish , it's actually going to help so many more people Because when you're
focusing on doing the thing that you love , you really are helping so many people . You know your family , your community , the world at whole because you're shining your light by doing the thing that you love to do and the thing that you're passionate about . And it's not always positive . There's lots of .
You know there's struggle with that and heartache , and you know it's managing all these different things . But you know , I try and remind myself like there's ebbs and flows of days , right , like some days we feel fantastic and another day we're going to wake up and we're going to be a little cranky .
But we got to like check ourselves and be like , okay , I'm a little cranky today , but I'm gonna , I'm gonna fix it and I'm gonna try my best to get back on track . And then other times you're like you know what , I'm just gonna have a mental health day . I think that we can all just have a mental yes , which ? yeah , exactly you know all about that .
As a therapist Like you can just allow yourself to reset your energy because we just we do so much and it's like , okay , your soul's asking you to reset as well . So sorry , I was totally rambling on that last one .
Got it . I love it Before we close out . I was curious if there are any like stories you can share of clients you've worked with that have feel that felt like really impactful for you , um , or that might be helpful for the people listening yes .
So one that comes to me now was actually more of a mediumship reading , um , which is interesting because I normally focus on the psychic part , but I want to emphasize on the power of this work .
So I felt as if this woman was coming through and I was getting these visions of her being in her bed and I didn't really know what it was related to , but I kept feeling this sense of like , wanting to say , like things are lighter now , like she had passed on .
And later on the woman that I was working with she said it was actually a friend of hers who had passed away in her bed and they they believe it was an accidental overdose , like she didn't mean to do it .
And while I was giving the message , I felt emotional , but I , you know , I also I think I was feeling the emotions of my client at that time , you know , and I could feel that she was upset , but not in a bad way .
She kept telling me thank you afterwards because that helped resolve her own battle that she had within herself as well , because she didn't really know what was going on , and so just hearing from her friend that everything was okay really , I think , relieved her , her mind and her heart .
And so that's the power of a psychic mediumship reading and again , I don't know , I don't know how this information comes through , but just allowing yourself to be , to be that open channel . But I was so honored by by that moment , and that was the most recent reading that I had , just a couple days ago .
But there's so many different examples and I typically don't bring through loved ones but for for whatever reason , that taught me that this work is just so profound .
So yeah , I just I encourage whoever is listening , like if you feel the call to receive messages , I do encourage you to do it , because it is another form of healing and counseling and and really is quite therapeutic and so just to try it out .
And another thing is is I have so many clients that I've never had a reading before , so I'm honored to be the first person to do that for them and I love that .
So yeah , yes , I love that . Can you talk briefly about the soul's journey ? No , soul's purpose circle . Yeah , yeah .
So it's over on my website , so tabithastitcom , forward , slash the circle . But you , you sign up for it and it's a Zoom session with others , and mostly women , but the group is really sometimes there's five people , sometimes there's 50 people , it really just depends , and it's all random .
And so what I mean by that is there's no set schedule and I do this intentionally , so I will . That specific day . I'll be like OK , we're going to have the circle , so I'll email you if you decide to join and I'll say we're gonna have a circle in um , I think I said it's at three hours .
We're gonna have a circle in three hours , um , from this time , you know . And so they'll have to figure out the time . If you can make it , then you know that it's meant for you to be there . If not , don't worry , there'll be another circle . And so it's like it's meant for you to be there . If not , don't worry , there'll be another circle .
And so it's like it's almost as if I do it all intentionally and this idea came to me from Spirits . It's like if they can make it , then they're meant to be there and to receive those messages , yeah , and if not , they'll get another chance . So , but it's a message for the group and for the people that come in that particular moment .
Do people ?
ask individual questions . I do receive questions ahead of time , so I open up that opportunity and so if I can get to them , I will certainly answer them , but it's more messages that are for the whole group .
If it's a smaller group , then I will certainly try and offer messages individually , but if it's a bigger group , I'm just offering messages as the group collective and for them to apply it , and then I also will send little PDFs afterwards , occasionally , here and there , and they'll get their . You know , you'll get the recording also .
That's cool , and that's every month . It's random , it's typically two times a month . So I have no idea when I'm going to do it . I'm just going to be like okay , here we go . We're going live in like three hours .
So I love that , and so you sign up there at the circle , yeah .
So you can go to my website tabithastitcom . Forward , slash the circle . You can find it if you just go to my regular website . Yeah , it'll be there for you to sign up and you'll just go on to that particular email list and I won't bombard you with emails , because I don't like that . So I typically email only twice a month .
If that , and yeah , and then that's it .
And if you want to do so . The psychic reading is different than the mediumship or it's combined in whatever comes . Yeah , that's a great question .
It's combined , so it's whatever you want to receive . So again , typically I just focus mainly on your life for personal messages for you , but sometimes loved ones do come through , so I just kind of leave it open ended . But if you have specific questions , I'm certainly here to answer them for you .
Awesome , great . Oh , so fun to connect .
And we will put wonderful .
Yeah , we will put all that in the show notes as well , so head over there if you're interested .
