What happens when your entire belief system unravels—and something deeper begins to rise?

In this moving conversation, host Brian D. Smith welcomes back Effie Linke, a spiritual medium whose journey from Greek Orthodox tradition to intuitive channeling was anything but predictable.

Effie didn’t seek out a spiritual awakening—it found her. Through heartbreak, resistance, and a fateful reading that cracked her wide open, Effie was thrust into a new reality. One where spirit spoke, healing came from within, and her purpose became undeniable.

If you're navigating your own spiritual awakening after loss, this episode offers hope, guidance, and a powerful reminder: the pain doesn't mean you're broken—it means you're opening.

💡 What You'll Learn:

  • The surprising moment that sparked Effie’s spiritual awakening
  • How loss and confusion can be signs of transformation
  • The emotional toll of “coming out” as a medium
  • The key differences between psychics and mediums
  • Why mediumship is about growth—not just gifts
  • How to handle spiritual loneliness and find your tribe

🧘‍♀️ Is This You?

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You've felt more intuitive since a loss
  • You’re questioning your beliefs or religious upbringing
  • You want to understand your spiritual gifts
  • You feel isolated on your awakening path
  • You're curious about what real mediumship looks like

Thanks so much for your support

[Brian D. Smith] [0.56s] Close your eyes and imagine what are the things in life that cause us the greatest pain, the things that bring us grief, or challenges, challenges designed to help us grow to ultimately become what we were always meant to be.

[Brian D. Smith] [17.11s] We feel like we've been buried.

[Brian D. Smith] [19.27s] But what if like a seed we've been planted, and having been planted, we grow to become a mighty tree.

[Brian D. Smith] [28.07s] Now, open your eyes, Open your eyes to this way of viewing life.

[Brian D. Smith] [33.15s] Come with me as we explore your true infinite, eternal nature.

[Brian D. Smith] [38.83s] This is grief to growth.

[Brian D. Smith] [40.67s] And I am your host, Brian Smith.

[Effie Linke] [44.90s] Hi there, and welcome to grief to growth.

[Effie Linke] [46.41s] I'm your host, Brian Smith.

[Effie Linke] [47.45s] And whether this is your first time joining us, you've been on this journey with me for a while, I want to thank you for being here.

[Effie Linke] [52.73s] The show is all about navigating the pain of loss, uncovering life's deeper meaning and discovering who we really are and why we're really here.

[Effie Linke] [60.18s] Today, I'm honored to welcome someone who's not only a gifted medium and intuitive, but someone who I have a very special history with.

[Effie Linke] [66.90s] Her name is Effie link.

[Effie Linke] [69.22s] Effie was just stepping into her spiritual gifts when we first connected and I had the privilege of being one of her early sitters.

[Effie Linke] [74.97s] Spirit works mysterious ways and throughout that connection.

[Effie Linke] [77.84s] I'll know a little while ago, it's led us to this full circle moment when I get to interview Fe on the podcast.

[Effie Linke] [84.08s] Fe didn't grow up surrounded by psychics or mediums.

[Effie Linke] [86.56s] In fact, your strict orthodox upbringing offered a roadmap that would soon unfold in her life.

[Effie Linke] [91.23s] But a powerful and unexpected encounter with the psychic one she was deeply drawn to despite every logical reason not to be changed the course of everything and that reading opened the door not only to her spiritual gifts, but to an inner alignment that will reshape her entire journey.

[Effie Linke] [105.84s] In today's conversation, we're going to explore what it means to remember who you are, even when you've been taught to forget.

[Effie Linke] [111.36s] She'll share the path of mediumship isn't about just connecting with the spirit world.

[Effie Linke] [114.97s] It's also about self development, radical self honesty and deep soul alignment.

[Effie Linke] [119.85s] We'll talk about the isolation that can come with awakening, the discipline required to be a clear channel, and how taking breaks and listening to your soul's whispers can lead you to unexpected and beautiful new chapters in your life.

[Effie Linke] [132.19s] So if you've ever questioned your intuition, your path, if you felt drawn to something that made no sense on paper, or you've struggled with perfectionism, your spiritual growth, this episode is for you.

[Effie Linke] [142.82s] If he brings heart depth and wisdom that you're not going to want to miss.

[Effie Linke] [146.82s] So after you listen to the episode, head over to my substack grief to growth.substack.com and continue the conversation there.

[Effie Linke] [154.18s] And with that, I want to welcome Fe link.

[Effie Linke] [156.90s] Oh, thank you, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [157.86s] What an introduction.

[Effie Linke] [159.14s] Thank you.

[Effie Linke] [160.24s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [160.47s] It's great.

[Effie Linke] [160.96s] It's great to to be with you again.

[Effie Linke] [163.28s] As I said in the introduction, you and I go back a little while.

[Effie Linke] [166.31s] I was one of your test sitters when you were coming onto the very sole platform, and you just amazed me.

[Effie Linke] [172.47s] So I referred a lot of people to you since then.

[Effie Linke] [174.87s] So I'm glad to have you here.

[Effie Linke] [176.63s] At the end, thank you.

[Effie Linke] [177.99s] And just the way that transpired, it was it was meant to be when I look back because the reading I recall was during a weekday, which I don't do readings, and I usually do them on the weekends or after work.

[Effie Linke] [191.72s] And something within that day, my entire workday stopped.

[Effie Linke] [197.09s] My entire workday stopped.

[Effie Linke] [198.84s] I there was no more calls coming in.

[Effie Linke] [201.09s] The emails just stopped, and I was just prompted to shut down.

[Effie Linke] [205.06s] And I told the office I'm taking the afternoon off.

[Effie Linke] [208.26s] Lo and behold, I got the call.

[Effie Linke] [210.90s] Can you take a last minute reading?

[Effie Linke] [212.82s] And I said, well, that's interesting.

[Effie Linke] [214.66s] Sure.

[Effie Linke] [215.30s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [216.34s] That's how you and I connected, for

[Effie Linke] [218.31s] the very

[Effie Linke] [218.78s] first time.

[Effie Linke] [219.66s] You know, it's really wild.

[Effie Linke] [220.54s] We do a few things in common.

[Effie Linke] [221.66s] First of all, your first name, Effie, is I I don't hear that name very often, but but it's my grandmother's name.

[Effie Linke] [228.06s] Lovely.

[Effie Linke] [228.54s] It was my my grandmother's middle name, And I didn't know about your Orthodox background.

[Effie Linke] [232.87s] I grew up in a very strict religious background myself.

[Effie Linke] [236.31s] So when maybe we could start there with with your with your Orthodox background and when you started connecting the spirit.

[Effie Linke] [242.97s] Great.

[Effie Linke] [243.20s] What good question.

[Effie Linke] [244.41s] I did.

[Effie Linke] [244.81s] I was raised in a Greek Orthodox background where it was the way it was supposed to be.

[Effie Linke] [250.72s] I didn't question my parents beliefs.

[Effie Linke] [252.72s] I didn't question my relatives.

[Effie Linke] [255.04s] I did what I was told as a child.

[Effie Linke] [257.20s] So going to church every Sunday was not something you said no to.

[Effie Linke] [262.04s] Going to Greek school every Saturday as an extra school day was another thing you did not say no to.

[Effie Linke] [268.12s] Taking extracurricular cultural activities, dancing, visiting your home country was something that was normal to me.

[Effie Linke] [276.37s] I thought everybody was doing this for the longest time as a child.

[Effie Linke] [281.17s] So it wasn't until I, I was, it was in my teenagers and my one of my girlfriends said, let's go to a fair.

[Effie Linke] [287.45s] Do you know those psychic fairs, Effie, they have?

[Effie Linke] [289.37s] And I said, yes.

[Effie Linke] [290.25s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [290.73s] I love those.

[Effie Linke] [292.57s] So we went.

[Effie Linke] [293.93s] So we'd be roaming around.

[Effie Linke] [296.33s] We'd look at all the cards, all the tarot, all the oracle.

[Effie Linke] [300.04s] In each station I would go to, they would tell me that I was going to be doing this in the future.

[Effie Linke] [306.12s] And Brian being level headed at that time and also being a little bit vulnerable, thinking, no, me, maybe, yes, no.

[Effie Linke] [313.77s] But at the end of the day, they're telling everyone this.

[Effie Linke] [316.89s] They're telling everybody this.

[Effie Linke] [318.33s] And it became a habit though.

[Effie Linke] [320.41s] It was a fun girls day to go to the fairs, go to dinner afterwards.

[Effie Linke] [324.33s] And I never felt anything.

[Effie Linke] [326.92s] Never felt anything.

[Effie Linke] [327.88s] We never talked about spirituality.

[Effie Linke] [329.88s] We never talked about what they would call a quote unquote ghost today.

[Effie Linke] [334.28s] We were never drawn.

[Effie Linke] [335.31s] We were, I was just drawn to going to the fairs.

[Effie Linke] [339.07s] Life goes on.

[Effie Linke] [341.67s] You get married.

[Effie Linke] [342.47s] You have children.

[Effie Linke] [345.11s] And then one day, out of nowhere, Brian, I saw a psychic pop up on my feet, and I was so pulled to him not knowing why.

[Effie Linke] [358.00s] And I had no idea who he was, but I knew inside my soul that I needed to speak to him.

[Effie Linke] [365.29s] Brian, he had no social media.

[Effie Linke] [367.93s] He had no website.

[Effie Linke] [369.86s] He had absolutely no TikTok, no feed, a very, very old, old school psychic and medium.

[Effie Linke] [377.06s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [378.26s] And I contacted him.

[Effie Linke] [380.58s] He asked for quite an obscene amount of money.

[Effie Linke] [384.48s] And

[Effie Linke] [385.27s] lo

[Effie Linke] [385.44s] and behold, something inside my soul told me I need to speak with this man.

[Effie Linke] [391.83s] I sent it to him via mail.

[Effie Linke] [395.75s] Hold hard cash from Canada.

[Effie Linke] [398.46s] Who does this today?

[Effie Linke] [400.94s] And I didn't tell an entire soul because I knew they would talk me out of it.

[Effie Linke] [406.86s] That was a given.

[Effie Linke] [408.22s] And I kept quiet and I came, I came to the terms with it that if this was a scam or this was a fraud, I was okay.

[Effie Linke] [415.93s] I had come to terms and put that to bed.

[Effie Linke] [418.56s] He did call me, and he had a six to eight month waiting list.

[Effie Linke] [424.08s] So we finally got on the phone, and it was one of those as mediums and psychics, we get a lot of readings, Brian, a lot of readings.

[Effie Linke] [433.77s] But this reading changed my entire course of my life, and I have never received that type of reading ever again.

[Effie Linke] [442.50s] Oh, wow.

[Effie Linke] [443.38s] This man knew things that he could not have known.

[Effie Linke] [449.62s] The reading was for two hours.

[Effie Linke] [451.62s] It turned into a four hour reading.

[Effie Linke] [454.10s] Oh, wow.

[Effie Linke] [455.48s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [456.04s] And he didn't charge me the extra.

[Effie Linke] [457.72s] So and the entire reading, it was like I knew him not knowing the synchronicities at that time.

[Effie Linke] [466.04s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [466.52s] It was like I was speaking to an old friend from the past, and I kept telling him, how do I know you?

[Effie Linke] [472.64s] You're across the world.

[Effie Linke] [474.08s] How do I feel you?

[Effie Linke] [475.44s] How do I can't understand this feeling that is happening between us.

[Effie Linke] [480.49s] It was like a soulmate, but not a soulmate as someone I've known, but I didn't know how I knew him.

[Effie Linke] [488.09s] And his accuracy was blowing me away where he shared where you were at the grocery store a couple of days ago and you didn't know which yogurt to get to.

[Effie Linke] [497.61s] You're going back and forth with the Greek yogurt.

[Effie Linke] [500.92s] And

[Effie Linke] [501.15s] I stopped and said, get out of my head.

[Effie Linke] [503.80s] Get out of my head.

[Effie Linke] [505.00s] That's how accurate his he was.

[Effie Linke] [509.15s] And during the entire, reading, he kept telling me that I was going to be doing this, that I was going to be doing this, which brought me right back to the psychic affairs.

[Effie Linke] [518.18s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [518.58s] And I

[Effie Linke] [518.74s] thought, okay.

[Effie Linke] [519.30s] Here we go.

[Effie Linke] [519.78s] I'm hearing this again.

[Effie Linke] [521.30s] I'm hearing this here.

[Effie Linke] [522.26s] It comes up all over again.

[Effie Linke] [523.62s] And I said, no.

[Effie Linke] [524.58s] I'm not.

[Effie Linke] [525.46s] No.

[Effie Linke] [525.70s] I'm not.

[Effie Linke] [526.18s] I will not be doing this.

[Effie Linke] [527.78s] This is not for me.

[Effie Linke] [529.28s] This is something that you do.

[Effie Linke] [530.88s] You're really, really great at it.

[Effie Linke] [532.73s] And he kept saying, Effie, you're gonna be doing this.

[Effie Linke] [535.21s] You're gonna be doing this.

[Effie Linke] [536.16s] It's gonna take you by storm, and this is why we're having our call today.

[Effie Linke] [541.21s] And, also during that reading, he said something that no one has known, that I have a tattoo of an infinity sign.

[Effie Linke] [549.35s] And he said that, do you think that you just walked into that day to ask for an infinity sign and they just happen to have the right tattoo artist for you, then usually they have a six to nine month waiting list, and it just happened to be open that afternoon.

[Effie Linke] [563.82s] How do you know that?

[Effie Linke] [565.58s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [566.06s] How do you know it was meant to be this call?

[Effie Linke] [569.84s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [570.16s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [571.44s] So the call goes on and on.

[Effie Linke] [572.80s] And so he kept telling me to grab a pen and paper.

[Effie Linke] [575.20s] Grab a pen and paper.

[Effie Linke] [576.08s] Write down what I'm telling you.

[Effie Linke] [577.28s] And I was humoring him.

[Effie Linke] [579.52s] Sure.

[Effie Linke] [579.92s] I will write down when this awakening happens.

[Effie Linke] [582.88s] This is what I will be doing, but was more intrigued of his knowledge.

[Effie Linke] [586.63s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [587.02s] How does he pull that information out?

[Effie Linke] [589.02s] How does he know this?

[Effie Linke] [590.07s] This is you've seen psychos.

[Effie Linke] [591.99s] You've seen mediums on TV.

[Effie Linke] [593.83s] You've watched him, but this was different.

[Effie Linke] [596.07s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [596.30s] This this was different.

[Effie Linke] [597.35s] And what was intriguing about him was his humbleness.

[Effie Linke] [601.93s] He did not know how accurate he was, and he kept his authenticity was something that I found in to pull just kept pulled towards him.

[Effie Linke] [611.89s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [612.38s] It was like my grandfather from a long time ago that we all need a grand that old soul wisdom he had.

[Effie Linke] [620.22s] At the end of the call, he said to me that this is gonna be happening very quickly.

[Effie Linke] [625.70s] And all these notes that you have written, when it happens, please refer to them.

[Effie Linke] [630.98s] And I said, okay.

[Effie Linke] [632.34s] I will do that.

[Effie Linke] [633.46s] Not believing him still.

[Effie Linke] [636.02s] Just very, very I still have the notes today, but I just when I look back.

[Effie Linke] [640.53s] Just after COVID, just after COVID, one morning, I woke up and something ignited my soul.

[Effie Linke] [653.01s] Brian.

[Effie Linke] [653.91s] Something it sparks something inside me.

[Effie Linke] [657.27s] I could not express it.

[Effie Linke] [658.71s] I could not express this feeling for the first time in my life.

[Effie Linke] [662.79s] I felt as if everything makes sense.

[Effie Linke] [666.86s] There is something, something much more to this world than what I have been told and that what I have been shown.

[Effie Linke] [673.74s] And it was like my body was on electricity that entire year.

[Effie Linke] [680.38s] And there was nothing I wanted to do except develop as a medium.

[Effie Linke] [685.50s] And there was nothing no one could tell me that I was not a medium.

[Effie Linke] [690.30s] Inside my gut, I just knew I could do this.

[Effie Linke] [694.08s] And there was not a soul or person I could talk to.

[Effie Linke] [697.67s] There was no one in my family that I was aware that had this knowledge.

[Effie Linke] [701.91s] I had no friends to go to.

[Effie Linke] [703.36s] I had no teachers.

[Effie Linke] [704.48s] I was by myself, a very green, green, brand new developing medium.

[Effie Linke] [710.30s] And what did I do?

[Effie Linke] [711.90s] I went back to the notes

[Effie Linke] [713.98s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [714.86s] That we had written, that he had told me to write from that reading a lot a couple months prior to that.

[Effie Linke] [723.00s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [723.33s] So lo and behold, I'm opening my book and I'm looking at all the notes and I'm going, oh my goodness.

[Effie Linke] [728.28s] Thank gosh.

[Effie Linke] [728.85s] Thank goodness.

[Effie Linke] [729.40s] Thank goodness.

[Effie Linke] [729.96s] I had these notes to refer back to to help me with this transition of of what was happening.

[Effie Linke] [735.62s] And this that did help me quite a bit.

[Effie Linke] [738.10s] But just during that time period, just as I was awakening, trying to find my journey, trying to find my path, where is this going?

[Effie Linke] [745.70s] How do I fit into this world?

[Effie Linke] [747.78s] Why don't I have anybody else to talk to?

[Effie Linke] [750.63s] I had this deep within wisdom knowing that I'm gonna be on my own.

[Effie Linke] [754.88s] I knew that I was gonna be doing this on my own and think I had this discipline being raised from my family that you're gonna there was no, no no talking back when I was growing up, that old school.

[Effie Linke] [767.29s] So they instilled this way inside me that I just went right to it, and I started to develop.

[Effie Linke] [774.49s] I started to study.

[Effie Linke] [775.69s] I started to read.

[Effie Linke] [777.21s] And that's all I did outside of my work day Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [780.80s] Was just develop, develop, develop.

[Effie Linke] [784.48s] And it took over my entire life, my entire life, especially and this is during the COVID time.

[Effie Linke] [791.04s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [791.44s] And during the COVID, the world shut down.

[Effie Linke] [794.15s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [794.79s] So I had no one to drive to.

[Effie Linke] [797.19s] I had no kids to chaperone.

[Effie Linke] [800.15s] I had no train to go to work.

[Effie Linke] [803.51s] So we were all at home, and it was all aligned when you look back because I could not do this today.

[Effie Linke] [809.71s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [810.11s] Could not do this today the way, we were out of COVID today.

[Effie Linke] [813.63s] So that was that went on for a few years.

[Effie Linke] [816.43s] For a couple of years, that's all I was doing was developing with a passion.

[Effie Linke] [821.48s] And when you say developing, how are you developing?

[Effie Linke] [824.20s] I was re I was looking online Okay.

[Effie Linke] [827.08s] Trying to find resources of what to do when mediums are brand new

[Effie Linke] [831.64s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [831.88s] Which path to take, and I was barred with so much information.

[Effie Linke] [836.59s] And I trusted my gut inside.

[Effie Linke] [839.95s] I was pulled to a certain source of information where I would read it and it just resonated.

[Effie Linke] [847.23s] And it went back to that reading from that time period.

[Effie Linke] [850.11s] I was just pulled to that psychic.

[Effie Linke] [851.99s] I don't know why

[Effie Linke] [853.43s] I

[Effie Linke] [853.59s] was just pulled him.

[Effie Linke] [854.47s] So that's how I use that methodology.

[Effie Linke] [857.43s] I was pulled to that resource.

[Effie Linke] [859.19s] I would open it and it just felt right.

[Effie Linke] [862.07s] And so I started to work within that.

[Effie Linke] [865.63s] What the content was saying.

[Effie Linke] [868.26s] And I would also practice and practice with people across the world, across the world.

[Effie Linke] [874.35s] Asia was no for me.

[Effie Linke] [876.42s] If it was there 3AM, it was my 3AM.

[Effie Linke] [878.75s] I start to get no no times out of Australia, China, Japan.

[Effie Linke] [882.78s] It was incredible.

[Effie Linke] [884.46s] And I don't know how I did it.

[Effie Linke] [886.62s] I really, really don't know how I did it, but it was this pull to do this.

[Effie Linke] [892.62s] About mid, let's say midyear, my family sits me down.

[Effie Linke] [899.38s] And they said to me that we don't know who you are anymore.

[Effie Linke] [902.25s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [902.50s] We don't know who you've become.

[Effie Linke] [904.57s] We support you in this, but you really, really, really, really need to know that it's time maybe to get a mentor or to find someone to tutor you something to get you into that groove.

[Effie Linke] [917.44s] Because they were seeing how I was searching and searching and reading.

[Effie Linke] [921.28s] And I said, that was right.

[Effie Linke] [922.24s] That's what I needed to hear at that right at that precise time.

[Effie Linke] [925.49s] It was the words I need to hear.

[Effie Linke] [926.92s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [927.25s] Just to interrupt you for a second, how were you finding sitters?

[Effie Linke] [929.64s] You said you're you were working with people across the world.

[Effie Linke] [932.68s] Of of very soul.

[Effie Linke] [933.49s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [933.88s] Alright.

[Effie Linke] [934.52s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [934.92s] That's and a very soul came up also.

[Effie Linke] [937.00s] And so I start to also find circles.

[Effie Linke] [939.21s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [940.01s] Online circles were developing mediums or practicing.

[Effie Linke] [943.69s] So I would write out, I'm looking for a practice session within such and such times, and I would start to I was organizing myself.

[Effie Linke] [951.05s] So weeks and weeks in advance, I would have all these practice sessions, organized, set up, and and I would, practice and just practice.

[Effie Linke] [960.14s] But at the same time, I would record myself to see where my reading, where I could have gone deeper, why maybe I went psychic, maybe I went all those techniques and mechanics that we learned I learned today.

[Effie Linke] [973.94s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [974.50s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [974.90s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [976.58s] So when you were young and you were going to these psychic fairs, were you telling your family that you were doing it?

[Effie Linke] [981.46s] How would your family react

[Effie Linke] [982.50s] to you?

[Effie Linke] [982.82s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [983.43s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [984.39s] I didn't tell them that I was going to psychic fairs

[Effie Linke] [987.03s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [987.91s] Because it was I'm going to a fair that sells jewelry, that sells beads.

[Effie Linke] [993.03s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [993.83s] They knew about oracle cards, and they just took it with a grain of salt.

[Effie Linke] [998.53s] I was out having a fun day with my girlfriends and it was harmless.

[Effie Linke] [1003.33s] It was to them.

[Effie Linke] [1004.37s] It was but I didn't bring it home.

[Effie Linke] [1006.93s] I didn't talk about it at home.

[Effie Linke] [1009.53s] Ghosts were not real.

[Effie Linke] [1011.13s] Mediums were not real.

[Effie Linke] [1013.05s] The interesting thing is they believed in angels very, very much.

[Effie Linke] [1016.74s] Oh, interesting.

[Effie Linke] [1017.53s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1017.86s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1018.25s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [1018.82s] They believed so much in angels.

[Effie Linke] [1020.89s] So when we had a crisis or an issue or to pray, they would share, let's call in all these angels that they were aware of.

[Effie Linke] [1028.61s] So it's something that we know, you and I, spiritually, angels do exist.

[Effie Linke] [1032.77s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1033.09s] Angels are are real.

[Effie Linke] [1034.61s] It's really interesting because Greek Orthodox, I understand, is kind of similar to Catholicism and and some of the Right.

[Effie Linke] [1040.24s] The forms and everything.

[Effie Linke] [1041.68s] And, you know, Catholics will pray to saints, but they talk they they think mediumship is, you know, bad.

[Effie Linke] [1049.52s] That we that we shouldn't talk to the dead.

[Effie Linke] [1051.28s] So how did you get past that that that taboo?

[Effie Linke] [1055.34s] A memory just came up where I want to go back where I was nine years old.

[Effie Linke] [1059.74s] And do you remember Sylvia Brown?

[Effie Linke] [1061.74s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1062.06s] That yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1062.78s] Past the the late psychic.

[Effie Linke] [1064.94s] I remember on Wednesday, she was in Montel Williams.

[Effie Linke] [1068.27s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1069.14s] And the first time I had seen her on TV, I had come home from school and I dropped my bag and I was going to the kitchen and then I heard her voice.

[Effie Linke] [1080.01s] And her voice something about her voice was intriguing me, was pulling me towards her.

[Effie Linke] [1086.81s] So I looked out of the kitchen and I saw who she was and her name, and I started crying, not knowing why.

[Effie Linke] [1094.92s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1095.80s] Not knowing why I was crying.

[Effie Linke] [1097.16s] So run to the washroom.

[Effie Linke] [1099.24s] My dad was sitting on the couch.

[Effie Linke] [1100.68s] I didn't want him to see me cry, and I would just start crying and crying and crying.

[Effie Linke] [1104.92s] And I couldn't shake it.

[Effie Linke] [1107.18s] Why am I crying over this lady's voice?

[Effie Linke] [1109.98s] Something about her voice.

[Effie Linke] [1112.06s] So every and I tell I didn't tell anyone.

[Effie Linke] [1114.78s] I didn't wanna tell my dad or my mom because I couldn't explain it myself.

[Effie Linke] [1120.01s] Every Wednesday from that day moving forward, I would run home knowing that she was on Montel Williams, 04:00, and I my dad would be watching her, and I will be sitting in the kitchen pretending to be eating or doing some homework, but really I was listening to her.

[Effie Linke] [1137.77s] Oh, wow.

[Effie Linke] [1138.41s] And afterwards, during the hour session with Montel, I would start to cry.

[Effie Linke] [1145.37s] I would start to cry.

[Effie Linke] [1146.48s] Tears were coming out of nowhere, not knowing then that it wasn't myself, Effie, that was crying.

[Effie Linke] [1152.64s] It was my soul that was crying inside.

[Effie Linke] [1156.09s] It was something a piece of her.

[Effie Linke] [1158.42s] I was pulled to something about her brought me home and I would run to the washroom and cry.

[Effie Linke] [1164.42s] And I didn't share that with my family for years and years and years.

[Effie Linke] [1168.02s] I just kept it to myself.

[Effie Linke] [1169.94s] There's some things, Brian, we just keep to ourselves.

[Effie Linke] [1173.19s] We just keep to ourselves.

[Effie Linke] [1174.23s] And that was one of the things because I was I didn't understand it myself

[Effie Linke] [1178.55s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1178.95s] As a little girl.

[Effie Linke] [1182.23s] So, when you were going to the psychic fairs, were you getting readings there, or are you just kinda hanging out for the day?

[Effie Linke] [1188.81s] I I know you said people kept telling you you were gonna do this, but

[Effie Linke] [1191.53s] I didn't believe in readings.

[Effie Linke] [1193.53s] I didn't believe it was actual real real You're

[Effie Linke] [1196.41s] just going for fun.

[Effie Linke] [1197.29s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1197.61s] I was going for fun.

[Effie Linke] [1198.65s] And, even the teacup readings that we would get from the Turkish coffee, we would sit down and put do predictions that you're going to be married at 29.

[Effie Linke] [1209.46s] You're going to have five kids.

[Effie Linke] [1210.83s] You're gonna be all of that high level high level, and it was fun.

[Effie Linke] [1216.04s] And I didn't fully fully I just liked it.

[Effie Linke] [1218.92s] I was drawn to it.

[Effie Linke] [1220.04s] I was attracted to the whole atmosphere, I can say

[Effie Linke] [1224.04s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1225.16s] Of the of the fair, not fully understanding yet that that this was gonna be something I'm gonna be doing in in the future.

[Effie Linke] [1231.77s] It's just and it was myself who was organizing it.

[Effie Linke] [1234.97s] Let's go to that one.

[Effie Linke] [1236.17s] Let's go to that one.

[Effie Linke] [1236.89s] Let's go to that one.

[Effie Linke] [1237.53s] And in the car, okay, let's see how many people are gonna be telling me if she's gonna be doing this.

[Effie Linke] [1241.38s] And I think ladies, they're telling everyone this.

[Effie Linke] [1244.98s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1245.54s] It's not myself.

[Effie Linke] [1246.82s] They're telling every be level grounded.

[Effie Linke] [1249.46s] This is something they're sharing to everyone.

[Effie Linke] [1251.78s] And and they'd say, no, I think they're not telling us.

[Effie Linke] [1255.43s] Sure they are.

[Effie Linke] [1257.12s] Sure they are.

[Effie Linke] [1257.60s] So it became this inside joke between all of us.

[Effie Linke] [1260.08s] And, yeah, it was very fair.

[Effie Linke] [1261.67s] They would tell me I was I was going to be doing this, but I took it with a grain of salt because I did not see myself ever to be doing this ever.

[Effie Linke] [1269.79s] This was not me.

[Effie Linke] [1270.51s] This was for them.

[Effie Linke] [1271.63s] I'm curious.

[Effie Linke] [1272.11s] Were there any predictions that they made then that came true for you later, like, when you got married or had children or any of those things?

[Effie Linke] [1278.83s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [1279.31s] No.

[Effie Linke] [1279.71s] No.

[Effie Linke] [1280.03s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [1280.51s] What I'm really, really glad is I started to I went one day.

[Effie Linke] [1283.71s] I was drawn to go to a palm reader near my home.

[Effie Linke] [1288.13s] I just stopped to go to a palm reader, and I'm 14 or 15 years old interested in palm reading.

[Effie Linke] [1294.53s] And I she told me things.

[Effie Linke] [1297.82s] And this is where the fraud comes up, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [1299.74s] This is where the skepticism.

[Effie Linke] [1301.74s] And she told me that I had evil spirits inside me and that if I didn't give her more money, that this was going to happen to my family.

[Effie Linke] [1309.26s] I was scared out of my wits.

[Effie Linke] [1310.70s] Of course.

[Effie Linke] [1311.26s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1311.96s] Scared

[Effie Linke] [1312.16s] out of my wits.

[Effie Linke] [1313.57s] I just paid her such and such, and she's giving me this information of my palm, and I need to give her more money.

[Effie Linke] [1319.01s] Luckily, I didn't have a job, and it was my birthday money I used.

[Effie Linke] [1323.64s] So I didn't have any extra money to give to her to get that evil spell off my family.

[Effie Linke] [1329.12s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1329.44s] But I didn't go to sleep for weeks.

[Effie Linke] [1331.52s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1332.00s] I didn't go I was scared.

[Effie Linke] [1333.28s] I didn't share anything with my mom or my dad because I knew they would be very angry with me.

[Effie Linke] [1339.28s] And not looking back then, I dodged a bullet.

[Effie Linke] [1342.69s] I dodged a bullet.

[Effie Linke] [1343.29s] It was one of my early encounters of saying, wow.

[Effie Linke] [1345.89s] That could have been really harmful for someone Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1348.53s] That really believed in it.

[Effie Linke] [1350.93s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1351.26s] You know, the thing about mediumship is, you know, it does get a bad reputation because there are I I I say to people, there are bad mediums.

[Effie Linke] [1359.55s] There are, you know, average mediums.

[Effie Linke] [1361.39s] There are good mediums.

[Effie Linke] [1362.27s] There are great mediums, and then there are frauds.

[Effie Linke] [1365.15s] And and people, they see the fraud, and they see the people who are not very good, and they say, well, that's all mediums.

[Effie Linke] [1371.63s] And and it really brings down the whole whole profession.

[Effie Linke] [1375.13s] So, I you know what?

[Effie Linke] [1376.96s] It does.

[Effie Linke] [1377.44s] It's, it they they see your soul suffering.

[Effie Linke] [1380.96s] They see that you want answers.

[Effie Linke] [1382.64s] They see how much you're yearning for your loved one to come through, or they could see that you want to be with your soulmate in this life and they take advantage of that.

[Effie Linke] [1392.31s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1393.03s] And that is where it gives us a bad reputation.

[Effie Linke] [1396.23s] The mediums that are authentic, that are working really, really hard, and there are, as you said, some fabulous, fabulous mediums out there that are real and have put the work in and really are doing this for the right reasons.

[Effie Linke] [1408.70s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1408.93s] And you are and you yourself have probably met lots and lots of mediums I have.

[Effie Linke] [1412.93s] With the work that

[Effie Linke] [1414.06s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1414.30s] I have.

[Effie Linke] [1414.70s] I have met lots of mediums.

[Effie Linke] [1415.89s] And then another thing that people don't really understand about medium ship, it it does you have to develop it.

[Effie Linke] [1420.59s] It's it's a it's a you have a skill, but you have to work on it to to really become good at, which is, you know, you were talking about development.

[Effie Linke] [1427.79s] People might say, well, what is that?

[Effie Linke] [1429.07s] I thought mediums just just worth.

[Effie Linke] [1430.91s] They were just bored that way.

[Effie Linke] [1433.32s] Correct.

[Effie Linke] [1433.71s] And I'm glad we were going into this next section of development.

[Effie Linke] [1437.63s] It's not just the mechanics of mediumship.

[Effie Linke] [1440.99s] Pardon me.

[Effie Linke] [1441.95s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1444.76s] That you need to learn.

[Effie Linke] [1446.49s] You need to learn also your self development inside.

[Effie Linke] [1449.69s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1450.01s] Who you are and who are you becoming?

[Effie Linke] [1452.49s] Because as you're developing, you're going to get to a place majority of mediums where emotions will come up from the past that you have not worked on.

[Effie Linke] [1463.41s] And these could be through your meditations.

[Effie Linke] [1466.13s] This could be through some inner work that you're doing along your mediumship where you start to tap inside, and you'll be looking back at a memory that will come up that, oh my gosh, I've never dealt with this.

[Effie Linke] [1477.27s] Why is this coming up?

[Effie Linke] [1478.79s] That's a sign that your soul is sharing with you.

[Effie Linke] [1482.47s] It's time to tap into that and start to work on what that feeling is coming up.

[Effie Linke] [1488.36s] And only you or me or that person will know what it is.

[Effie Linke] [1492.76s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1493.47s] And working with those emotions, working into that self development, that is what helped me go deeper into the readings.

[Effie Linke] [1501.46s] That is where really began to become a journey where I was just surface surface level.

[Effie Linke] [1507.06s] It didn't want to go into those sections or into where it got tough.

[Effie Linke] [1510.58s] But the more I worked on myself inside is where I started to see I was getting deeper on the emotions and staying there and staying with those emotions and going even deeper and finding the right words, not just the interpretation, because we know the interpretation can be a thousand different things when we see a picture or we feel something or we just know something.

[Effie Linke] [1533.74s] Learning all of that took a long, long time, and it's continuous, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [1538.70s] It is continuous.

[Effie Linke] [1539.50s] It'll still the day I will die.

[Effie Linke] [1541.18s] I will constantly be learning, not just mediumship, but myself inside who I am

[Effie Linke] [1547.47s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1547.79s] And where this journey is going to take me to be very open minded that I can be in this journey and I could turn left.

[Effie Linke] [1553.95s] And this could be my new directions.

[Effie Linke] [1555.47s] I have seen mediums come into circles and in classes where they start and then they realize, oh my gosh, I'm an excellent baker.

[Effie Linke] [1563.52s] I've always wanted to open up my bakeshop.

[Effie Linke] [1565.68s] But if they never took the class, they would have never knew that potential inside them.

[Effie Linke] [1570.48s] Interesting.

[Effie Linke] [1570.88s] Or they wanna write a book.

[Effie Linke] [1572.63s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1573.27s] And they, wow, I'm a really good writer.

[Effie Linke] [1575.75s] I didn't know this.

[Effie Linke] [1577.36s] And they're inspired to start to write a book.

[Effie Linke] [1580.55s] That is their potential that's always been inside them.

[Effie Linke] [1583.75s] And they were able to bring that out, and then they start to tap into that.

[Effie Linke] [1588.35s] How do you know it's your true potential?

[Effie Linke] [1590.59s] It needs to come naturally.

[Effie Linke] [1592.75s] It's not something that's forced.

[Effie Linke] [1594.51s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1595.31s] It has to come naturally to you and something that you love and something that you know that this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

[Effie Linke] [1603.43s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [1604.88s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [1605.99s] So you you mentioned your I mean, obviously, you're you're raised Greek Orthodox, and you had this strict strict background.

[Effie Linke] [1611.85s] How has your family reacted to you coming out now and saying I'm I'm a medium?

[Effie Linke] [1618.25s] Great question.

[Effie Linke] [1619.13s] So the, it was, I had to I didn't tell them for a long time.

[Effie Linke] [1627.35s] I kept it quiet and it was for good reason because I was developing.

[Effie Linke] [1631.42s] I wasn't speaking to no one.

[Effie Linke] [1633.35s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1633.59s] I was didn't speak to my friends, didn't speak to my family, just when I needed to speak to him to make a visit from, as you know, COVID from a distance to say hello, ten minutes.

[Effie Linke] [1644.53s] And then that was really our our visit.

[Effie Linke] [1647.09s] So I I was quiet and it was a blessing in disguise where I knew I had to be quiet with this because they would, not that they wouldn't believe me, but I just didn't need the interference because I was so focused into what I I was doing.

[Effie Linke] [1664.60s] It wasn't until two years later, I did tell some of my siblings.

[Effie Linke] [1669.27s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1670.07s] And they didn't really have any reaction.

[Effie Linke] [1673.75s] They knew that I'd shared that this is something extremely important to me.

[Effie Linke] [1677.91s] It is bigger than my relationship with my family.

[Effie Linke] [1681.99s] This is something I need to do.

[Effie Linke] [1684.39s] And I if you tell me not to do it, it it could be our relationship could be severed.

[Effie Linke] [1689.38s] That's how important it was, and I had to put us a stance on that.

[Effie Linke] [1693.69s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1694.10s] And they either accepted me for who I was or they didn't.

[Effie Linke] [1697.35s] No.

[Effie Linke] [1697.67s] And they saw that, and I was ready.

[Effie Linke] [1700.15s] I was ready to walk away even if I didn't want to knowing that I this was my journey.

[Effie Linke] [1706.39s] This was something I was going to be doing.

[Effie Linke] [1708.63s] And thankfully, they accepted me.

[Effie Linke] [1711.73s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [1712.29s] Thankfully, they accepted me, though I don't talk about it because it's not their life.

[Effie Linke] [1718.13s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [1718.62s] They have their life.

[Effie Linke] [1719.73s] They have their journey.

[Effie Linke] [1721.10s] They have their families.

[Effie Linke] [1722.53s] They have their activities.

[Effie Linke] [1723.97s] So I don't bring it on to them.

[Effie Linke] [1726.62s] They ask me questions when there's some curiosity.

[Effie Linke] [1730.62s] I never give them the answers, and this is with every all my friends that come to me.

[Effie Linke] [1735.02s] The answer is already inside them.

[Effie Linke] [1737.34s] I guide them to what do you feel is the right answer for you.

[Effie Linke] [1742.12s] If you're asking me, you already know the answer.

[Effie Linke] [1744.43s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1744.84s] You're looking for validation.

[Effie Linke] [1746.60s] And I don't give them that validation because I it's so important that they see that and find that for themselves because that's when they will feel empowered.

[Effie Linke] [1754.29s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1754.45s] That's when they will really feel I did this on my own, and you all you've always had it.

[Effie Linke] [1759.09s] You've always had it.

[Effie Linke] [1760.21s] You just gotta get and mistakes will happen.

[Effie Linke] [1763.49s] Our learning lessons are part of our life, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [1766.22s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1766.55s] That is how we learn.

[Effie Linke] [1767.42s] That's how we keep evolving.

[Effie Linke] [1768.71s] We keep evolving.

[Effie Linke] [1769.51s] We keep evolving.

[Effie Linke] [1771.11s] Well, this is a good time to talk about the difference between mediumship and psychics, because people think people get them confused, and they think all mediums are psychics.

[Effie Linke] [1779.51s] So let's can you explain to people the difference?

[Effie Linke] [1783.05s] I didn't know the difference myself for a full year.

[Effie Linke] [1785.77s] So transparency until I it was explained to me that psychic is someone like you and I living.

[Effie Linke] [1792.41s] So you and I will be talking about your life.

[Effie Linke] [1794.89s] So you will come to me for reading for a psychic reading and there is something within your life that you want an answer to and psychics will tap into it.

[Effie Linke] [1804.23s] And by the way, when you find a good psychics, they're worth their weight in gold.

[Effie Linke] [1808.73s] They are worth their weight in gold.

[Effie Linke] [1809.93s] And I don't go back into the past.

[Effie Linke] [1811.61s] I look at their potential and where they're heading into the future.

[Effie Linke] [1815.45s] What is presently happening in their life right now?

[Effie Linke] [1818.25s] It could be several things.

[Effie Linke] [1819.45s] It could be family.

[Effie Linke] [1820.83s] Family could branch out into their partners.

[Effie Linke] [1823.87s] It could branch out into their relationships with their extended family.

[Effie Linke] [1827.94s] It could branch out into their siblings' relationships, many, many their kids' relationships.

[Effie Linke] [1833.46s] That could be one core area.

[Effie Linke] [1835.14s] It could go into the careers.

[Effie Linke] [1836.97s] Careers whether they wanna change their jobs, whether they're looking to branch out into a different career.

[Effie Linke] [1841.85s] How do we get how do we combine both of them at the same time?

[Effie Linke] [1845.77s] And what kind of career they're looking at?

[Effie Linke] [1847.77s] It could be finances.

[Effie Linke] [1849.40s] They're in a place with finances.

[Effie Linke] [1851.09s] How do I make more?

[Effie Linke] [1853.33s] Or where should I be investing or what should I do with my will?

[Effie Linke] [1856.68s] Should I be sharing it with this?

[Effie Linke] [1858.20s] There's so many concepts to this.

[Effie Linke] [1860.61s] It could be also your friends, your relationship with your friends.

[Effie Linke] [1864.22s] So many branches it could take you to when you go, but it's for the living.

[Effie Linke] [1868.14s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1868.30s] And it's

[Effie Linke] [1868.62s] right now.

[Effie Linke] [1869.02s] And usually, those answers come very quickly with a psychic.

[Effie Linke] [1871.66s] You don't have to blend very quickly.

[Effie Linke] [1873.34s] It's all up here, and it's very, very fast.

[Effie Linke] [1876.54s] And you go it could be also their health.

[Effie Linke] [1878.98s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1879.46s] Worried about their health, worried about, loved one's health, what to do with their health, what should we do, and should they go to hospice, should we take them home?

[Effie Linke] [1888.83s] Lots of areas, there also.

[Effie Linke] [1890.74s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1891.37s] And the mediumship is to speaking with loved ones.

[Effie Linke] [1894.25s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1894.73s] Speaking with loved ones who have passed, who come in, who blend with our soul because that's what it is.

[Effie Linke] [1899.85s] It's a soul to soul reading that we're having.

[Effie Linke] [1902.57s] So there the more you're able to hone your soul and to sit quietly and not have those thoughts come into your mind, the more you're able to blend with the soul of the loved one that's coming in and to step out of the way.

[Effie Linke] [1916.90s] And the true power in this is when we really step out of our ego, out of our mind, and really communicate the message that they want to say to their loved one.

[Effie Linke] [1930.32s] It can mean absolutely nothing to us.

[Effie Linke] [1932.96s] But to that loved one, it can mean a thousand and one things that they needed to hear.

[Effie Linke] [1939.23s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1939.95s] How many times have we heard this?

[Effie Linke] [1941.71s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1943.15s] So when you when you do readings, Effie, do you do, mediumship and psychic readings?

[Effie Linke] [1948.04s] And

[Effie Linke] [1948.43s] So that I love this question.

[Effie Linke] [1949.95s] This I was gonna flow into that next.

[Effie Linke] [1951.71s] So my readings are like the infinity symbol.

[Effie Linke] [1954.44s] Think of a blend.

[Effie Linke] [1955.72s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [1955.96s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [1956.36s] So it was like that powerful reading that I got from that psychic who was also a medium.

[Effie Linke] [1961.24s] He was going back and forth into my life.

[Effie Linke] [1963.80s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [1964.12s] He was

[Effie Linke] [1964.36s] sharing all people that are here with names, dates, years, things that we had done together.

[Effie Linke] [1970.22s] But he was also going into my life today.

[Effie Linke] [1972.70s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [1973.18s] What I was doing today, where I was going, things I had done, things that were on my mind that I was worried about.

[Effie Linke] [1979.18s] That's how tapped in he was.

[Effie Linke] [1981.21s] So that's how my readings are.

[Effie Linke] [1983.05s] It could be a blend of both, but I meet the need of the communicator.

[Effie Linke] [1987.69s] So if you came to me for a reading, I don't you might think you're coming in for a psychic reading, but you could have a loved one come in, which you may not expect that loved one come in, but it could be the one that you need to hear from, and it could be something about your career.

[Effie Linke] [2003.16s] Understood.

[Effie Linke] [2003.72s] And you

[Effie Linke] [2003.96s] are struggling with your career today, and then you have a friend or a family member that was the CEO of a company that was very successful, and they're coming in to give you a message about your career.

[Effie Linke] [2015.10s] And how many times I have heard, I came in for one thing, but I really needed to hear from that loved one.

[Effie Linke] [2022.38s] Or I came in for a mediumship reading, but I really needed a psychic reading.

[Effie Linke] [2027.55s] So it can go both ways.

[Effie Linke] [2028.91s] I try to meet the need of the person that is here in front of me.

[Effie Linke] [2033.47s] It could be fifty fifty.

[Effie Linke] [2034.60s] It could be eighty twenty.

[Effie Linke] [2036.52s] I I don't know.

[Effie Linke] [2037.95s] But I have found trusting what the need is, and I will never know what that is until I'm face to face with them.

[Effie Linke] [2046.46s] I I love that answer.

[Effie Linke] [2047.58s] And I I tell you, I as we were saying earlier, I I have hung out with a lot of mediums because of what I do and places I've been and stuff.

[Effie Linke] [2054.30s] And I've seen mediums, they're just humans like everybody else can get very, critical of other mediums.

[Effie Linke] [2060.39s] And I've seen them, like, I'm reading medium.

[Effie Linke] [2062.07s] We'll be giving a reading.

[Effie Linke] [2062.95s] They're like, oh, she's going psychic now.

[Effie Linke] [2065.59s] And I'm like, and?

[Effie Linke] [2067.74s] Because as a sitter or as an observer, I don't care.

[Effie Linke] [2071.09s] But I've seen meetings get very judgmental about other mediums like, no.

[Effie Linke] [2074.61s] No.

[Effie Linke] [2074.85s] You can't you can't go psychic.

[Effie Linke] [2078.13s] You that's that's their opinion.

[Effie Linke] [2080.77s] Everyone will have an opinion, and that's one thing about, mediumship and psychic.

[Effie Linke] [2085.07s] There's no regulations on it.

[Effie Linke] [2086.84s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2087.24s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2087.47s] There's no regulations.

[Effie Linke] [2088.28s] So everyone will work differently.

[Effie Linke] [2091.16s] And and you're and if you ask and I tell my students is if you ask an opinion to, a medium how to do this, you're gonna get or, actually, what I say is if you ask 10 mediums a question, you're gonna get 11 different answers.

[Effie Linke] [2104.65s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2104.97s] Well, I I guess it's really interesting because I get to work with people who are developing, and I see what they're hearing from their teachers.

[Effie Linke] [2111.21s] And I've also seen, like I said, mediums kinda judging each other.

[Effie Linke] [2114.28s] And I'm like, you you have to I think you have to develop your own style.

[Effie Linke] [2119.24s] And I could tell you from a sitter's point of view, if I'm sitting there and I'm getting a reading, I don't care whether you're going psychic or you're doing mediumship.

[Effie Linke] [2126.59s] I it's like, am I getting what I need?

[Effie Linke] [2128.59s] And I like, you know, like your approach to it.

[Effie Linke] [2130.51s] It's like, you give people what they need.

[Effie Linke] [2133.31s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [2133.79s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [2134.11s] And I for the longest time when I was developing, I was just getting grandparents.

[Effie Linke] [2140.14s] Grandparents, grandparents, and I renew it today.

[Effie Linke] [2142.54s] Why?

[Effie Linke] [2142.93s] Because I have really close relationship with my grandparents.

[Effie Linke] [2145.82s] They raised me.

[Effie Linke] [2146.86s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2147.26s] They were an extremely big part of my life.

[Effie Linke] [2149.49s] I was very fortunate to have these two people and the other two that lived down the street to see them one every day and the other one every weekend.

[Effie Linke] [2158.79s] And they were such a huge, significant part of my childhood that every grandparent was coming in was always about what I could resonate to, what I knew about my grandparents.

[Effie Linke] [2170.16s] And I had a blend of both, the very disciplined ones and extremely funny one, extremely funny grandmother.

[Effie Linke] [2177.45s] So I had I was just getting grandparents, grandparents.

[Effie Linke] [2179.84s] And then I started to see slowly, it began to move into parents.

[Effie Linke] [2184.89s] And so moving more into mothers and fathers and distinguishing between whether this is a stepmother.

[Effie Linke] [2191.05s] This is a friend that's been a big influence in your life, like a mother, a grandmother could be a mother because a mother today or a father could be a thousand and one things to somebody.

[Effie Linke] [2202.45s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2202.68s] So I started I'd slowly seeing I was moving into parents, relationships with parents, the dynamics, what happened growing up, and how the sitter today with their life.

[Effie Linke] [2214.69s] And that would be psychic where they are because of some of the Right.

[Effie Linke] [2218.45s] Influences in their past and where they're stuck.

[Effie Linke] [2220.53s] And that could be a psychic.

[Effie Linke] [2221.49s] I mean, it can be fifty fifty Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2223.43s] Where it goes.

[Effie Linke] [2224.08s] And then slowly, children.

[Effie Linke] [2227.76s] And you're Brian, one of the first people I received as a child, one of the first primary, which I did not expect to happen.

[Effie Linke] [2234.72s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2235.84s] Though children was not something I was very strong at.

[Effie Linke] [2240.92s] I could not children were just not coming.

[Effie Linke] [2243.48s] I put the attention out there and they slowly started to appear, children.

[Effie Linke] [2248.04s] And they did it the right way where I could sense that there's a child stepping in under the age of five or four.

[Effie Linke] [2255.51s] And I don't go into miscarriages or stillborn.

[Effie Linke] [2257.91s] And and by the way, we also didn't talk about ethics, when we're doing platform demonstrations, the wording to share the right wording, the privacy, of the sitter and and where they're at.

[Effie Linke] [2269.68s] And I start to get then, children.

[Effie Linke] [2272.24s] And then afterwards, it's it just formed into more.

[Effie Linke] [2275.84s] It was just branching out slowly, slowly, slowly.

[Effie Linke] [2280.61s] And I start to distinguish whether the parents are still living or their past.

[Effie Linke] [2285.66s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2286.05s] The parents are still living or their past, and I will be the first to say I'm not perfect.

[Effie Linke] [2291.26s] Transfer I make mistakes.

[Effie Linke] [2292.93s] Absolutely.

[Effie Linke] [2293.81s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2293.97s] And I have a roster of mediums I refer to as my resources that we are not aligned.

[Effie Linke] [2299.25s] This was not a good reading.

[Effie Linke] [2301.49s] And I refer you to this beautiful 10 or 20 mediums that you were drawn to.

[Effie Linke] [2306.61s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2307.17s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2307.82s] And I

[Effie Linke] [2308.06s] think that's important.

[Effie Linke] [2308.93s] Each medium does have a roster of mediums that they can refer, clients to if they don't have a good rating.

[Effie Linke] [2315.89s] I think that's that's a wonderful admission.

[Effie Linke] [2319.26s] I love I love your humility, and I I can tell you I've again, I I know lots and lots of mediums.

[Effie Linke] [2324.89s] Not every medium is for every person, and I've seen I've seen fantastic mediums just not be able to connect for certain people.

[Effie Linke] [2333.93s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [2334.17s] It it happens.

[Effie Linke] [2334.89s] Friendships.

[Effie Linke] [2335.53s] We're not gonna get along with every we're not everybody's cup of tea.

[Effie Linke] [2338.80s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2339.03s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2339.51s] Not everybody's cup of tea.

[Effie Linke] [2341.59s] So where were we, Brian?

[Effie Linke] [2343.20s] Well, we were talking about we were talking about ethics.

[Effie Linke] [2345.20s] We were talking about, you know, the Right.

[Effie Linke] [2347.03s] You know, the, the way that we do things, the the style, and and I think everybody should have does have their own.

[Effie Linke] [2353.28s] And I think that's great that that you do that.

[Effie Linke] [2355.42s] And you mentioned so you're, well, let's talk about Very Soul a little bit because we've kinda touched on it.

[Effie Linke] [2360.06s] But for people that don't know what it is, it's it's fantastic, but it's also very unique.

[Effie Linke] [2364.54s] So explain to people you said when you were when you were trying to find a way to develop, you ran across very soul.

[Effie Linke] [2370.97s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [2371.45s] And Sally, and I will share her name

[Effie Linke] [2373.45s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2373.93s] Clock.

[Effie Linke] [2374.89s] She just happened to develop the site at the time I needed it.

[Effie Linke] [2378.49s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2379.05s] That's

[Effie Linke] [2379.22s] why.

[Effie Linke] [2379.53s] Time I needed that site.

[Effie Linke] [2381.37s] There it was.

[Effie Linke] [2382.09s] And it was just starting my journey, and I had no one to practice with or no one to talk to.

[Effie Linke] [2386.41s] And lo and behold, there here comes this site, and it was my dream come true.

[Effie Linke] [2391.77s] It was my dream come true, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [2393.37s] It was exactly what I needed.

[Effie Linke] [2395.05s] So I was believe you to validate with Sally, one of the first 20 or 25, I'm not sure, people to register.

[Effie Linke] [2403.84s] And I just started to practice.

[Effie Linke] [2406.32s] It would not learn, but more practice the mechanics that I was learning on my own through the YouTube sites or resources shifts for that first year.

[Effie Linke] [2415.91s] And as the site got bigger and bigger, I started to see that she started to have events, which I do help her with some platform demonstrations for developing mediums, also the mechanics of, mediumship.

[Effie Linke] [2429.22s] And I also do mediumship demonstrations, for developing mediums.

[Effie Linke] [2433.14s] I did one last night for her.

[Effie Linke] [2435.63s] And she can see the effort that she's put into the site, and I think she's got about 8,000 to 9,000 registered attendees on the site today, and it's grown and grown and keeps evolving.

[Effie Linke] [2449.41s] You can see the site where now you can have, sessions where if Brian has an extra hour free, you can go on and try to find mediums who are available across the world.

[Effie Linke] [2458.68s] Also sharing that I'm available at 10AM.

[Effie Linke] [2460.93s] Let's do a practice session.

[Effie Linke] [2462.61s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2463.01s] And within those sessions, it's where I learned how to develop my skill set in my mechanics where I was going deeper, where I was not, what I had got wrong.

[Effie Linke] [2474.96s] And I encourage everyone when they're doing a reading to record themselves.

[Effie Linke] [2479.36s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2479.68s] And then I want you to go back into the reading and watch yourself.

[Effie Linke] [2483.59s] But I also want you to ask the the person that is giving you the the sitter that's giving you the reading to give you a very thorough feedback because that's really gonna help you understand where your story could have unfolded in which direction.

[Effie Linke] [2496.58s] You had the garage.

[Effie Linke] [2498.42s] You had the the tools in that garage.

[Effie Linke] [2500.98s] Something about that garage is very, very important to the spirit on the other side.

[Effie Linke] [2505.14s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2505.70s] Also, the very first piece of information you're going to receive in a reading is gonna be the most important piece of information where the story is going to unfold.

[Effie Linke] [2514.43s] Understanding also bridging statements, how to blend with another communicator naturally to come in.

[Effie Linke] [2520.82s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2522.02s] And feeling those subtle subtle nuances, those energies, to come in.

[Effie Linke] [2526.98s] So all of that, I was working on

[Effie Linke] [2529.70s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2530.10s] Diligently.

[Effie Linke] [2530.74s] I think I've done thousands of practice readings today.

[Effie Linke] [2533.94s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2534.26s] So for people that that are listening, so very soul.

[Effie Linke] [2537.62s] The thing that's really cool about, in my opinion, is that mediums for mediums, it's a great place to develop.

[Effie Linke] [2545.03s] It's a great place to market yourself.

[Effie Linke] [2547.51s] It's it's free for the mediums to be on it.

[Effie Linke] [2549.84s] You get to do practices with each other.

[Effie Linke] [2551.84s] You get to, again, you get to develop, and and then Sally doesn't really put you out there till you've proven that you can do, you know, readings.

[Effie Linke] [2558.13s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2558.37s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2558.77s] But from a sitter's perspective, also, because people, they'll ask me for mediums to go to, and I'm like, a lot of them are expensive.

[Effie Linke] [2566.51s] A lot of them have very, very long waiting lists, and everybody wants to go to the ones that are expensive that have long waiting lists.

[Effie Linke] [2572.74s] And and then we don't know whether there were, you know, mediums are any good or not.

[Effie Linke] [2575.95s] If you go to very sold, you know the mediums have been vetted.

[Effie Linke] [2579.14s] You know they're available because they're there, and they're reasonably priced.

[Effie Linke] [2584.15s] So I I I do have a list of mediums I refer people to, but I refer prefer people to very soul all the time also because it's just it's such a great thing for, again, both sitters.

[Effie Linke] [2594.63s] And I've I've sent mediums there to develop and to market themselves, and I've sent sitters there.

[Effie Linke] [2601.01s] They also have a, emblem now, a verified medium from Verisol.

[Effie Linke] [2605.41s] They have launched a couple of months ago.

[Effie Linke] [2608.05s] So they can put the mediums of this on their website.

[Effie Linke] [2610.53s] They can put it also on the website on Verisol that they have embedded, and they have the gold and black emblem, the circle that they are a professional verified medium from Verisol, from the the team and also from, clients and also their own clients from Verisol, practicing the readings, and giving the feedback

[Effie Linke] [2632.05s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2632.38s] To the team at the

[Effie Linke] [2633.18s] same time.

[Effie Linke] [2633.57s] Something on Facebook just yesterday, I think it was, that they were the Verisol's looking, I think, for volunteer sitters to to help, practicing mediums.

[Effie Linke] [2641.91s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2642.31s] So So if you are looking for a reading, they do offer if you're not a medium or even if you're developing medium and you're not sure just yet to tap into your abilities, you can get a one free reading Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2655.18s] From a professional medium on Verisol.

[Effie Linke] [2657.82s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2658.14s] You can register, and you will get one free reading, and you can give the feedback afterwards on the survey.

[Effie Linke] [2663.51s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2663.82s] So it's it's a it's a really great, site.

[Effie Linke] [2666.30s] So that that's I wanted to get that in today as we're talking because I I'm always trying to get more people to to go there.

[Effie Linke] [2672.44s] But, you know, Effie, for you, obviously, mediumship is hugely important.

[Effie Linke] [2677.16s] I mean, to the point where you were, like, telling your family, it's like, this could become this could come between us.

[Effie Linke] [2681.96s] So why is why is mediumship so important to you?

[Effie Linke] [2685.00s] What is what is it that you think that it it it provides?

[Effie Linke] [2690.68s] It's it goes back to the very beginning when that moment I woke up, and I knew this was some there's something more in this world.

[Effie Linke] [2701.56s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2701.88s] I can't answer that fully, Brian, what it provides inside me.

[Effie Linke] [2705.48s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2705.88s] It is just something that is a calling that I need to do.

[Effie Linke] [2709.64s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2710.12s] It's something inside that I need to.

[Effie Linke] [2712.36s] Does it bring me peace?

[Effie Linke] [2713.88s] A a a portion of it does.

[Effie Linke] [2716.30s] Does it bring a purpose?

[Effie Linke] [2717.66s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [2717.98s] It does.

[Effie Linke] [2718.63s] Does it is it a mission?

[Effie Linke] [2720.70s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [2720.94s] It is.

[Effie Linke] [2722.14s] Is it a sole contract?

[Effie Linke] [2723.43s] I don't know until I go to the other side.

[Effie Linke] [2725.82s] This is it's something that I need to do.

[Effie Linke] [2730.61s] And there and I know I will be doing this for the rest of my life.

[Effie Linke] [2733.57s] There is absolutely no questions to ask.

[Effie Linke] [2736.85s] I will be doing this for the rest of my life.

[Effie Linke] [2739.33s] And I know that I will be going to places where there will be healing.

[Effie Linke] [2743.41s] There will be churches.

[Effie Linke] [2744.53s] There will be humanitarian to connect with people who need to heal.

[Effie Linke] [2749.23s] It may not even be a reading.

[Effie Linke] [2750.76s] It may not be a psychic reading.

[Effie Linke] [2753.47s] It could just be healing, giving them knowing that they're not alone, that there's a they're here.

[Effie Linke] [2758.76s] We're all connected together.

[Effie Linke] [2760.03s] We're all aligned, and we're gonna make it to the very end, all of us.

[Effie Linke] [2763.57s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2764.61s] It that's what it brings.

[Effie Linke] [2765.57s] It's not one answer.

[Effie Linke] [2767.09s] It's a combination of Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2769.25s] Of a film of the different answers all combined into one.

[Effie Linke] [2773.17s] My children are aware that they know this is something that they want to do.

[Effie Linke] [2777.61s] I do feel also my one of my children is an empath, very, very much interested.

[Effie Linke] [2783.14s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2783.45s] I don't push them.

[Effie Linke] [2784.74s] I don't push them.

[Effie Linke] [2785.61s] I want them to be kids.

[Effie Linke] [2787.45s] I want them to grow.

[Effie Linke] [2788.89s] I want them to learn to have their adventures in these years that they're teenagers.

[Effie Linke] [2792.88s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2793.20s] And when they're ready, if they're ready to move to tap into this.

[Effie Linke] [2797.20s] And it could be a part of their, journey or not.

[Effie Linke] [2800.72s] But I give them that open space and they watch me.

[Effie Linke] [2804.11s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2804.76s] So they watch me.

[Effie Linke] [2805.55s] They know that this is real, but I I just let them be to their own devices.

[Effie Linke] [2809.95s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2810.51s] Well, I I see it as a I see it as a ministry.

[Effie Linke] [2813.39s] It it's interesting for people again, so many people think that the field is full of frauds and and and stuff, which there are frauds.

[Effie Linke] [2820.60s] I mean, we have to admit that we we talked about that.

[Effie Linke] [2823.64s] But it the people that I've that I see doing mediumship, it's a service.

[Effie Linke] [2828.12s] They do it because they they wanna serve other people.

[Effie Linke] [2831.32s] You know?

[Effie Linke] [2832.03s] But we have to charge money because we have to make a living, and that's a whole interesting thing too when people say

[Effie Linke] [2837.22s] to talk with to go Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2838.34s] It's it's a gift.

[Effie Linke] [2839.14s] You shouldn't charge for it, which is just ridiculous.

[Effie Linke] [2842.91s] But, you know, I I see people doing it.

[Effie Linke] [2846.00s] No.

[Effie Linke] [2846.16s] I don't see and I don't see people going in because they wanna get rich because most mediums are not going to get rich.

[Effie Linke] [2851.28s] They do it because they wanna serve.

[Effie Linke] [2853.92s] It took me a long, long time to charge.

[Effie Linke] [2856.78s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2857.34s] And I I couldn't fathom that inside me.

[Effie Linke] [2861.01s] How do I charge?

[Effie Linke] [2862.05s] How do I know what's the right rate?

[Effie Linke] [2863.74s] How do I know what is if any it's that balance.

[Effie Linke] [2868.14s] If you go too low, they don't take you seriously.

[Effie Linke] [2871.24s] If you go too high, you're tapped out of the market, finding that, middle part, that spot in between.

[Effie Linke] [2879.80s] And I tell everyone out there who's looking to charge to look at your community, to look where you are, look at the rates that they're charging within your currency, look at the years of experience to get a baseline from that

[Effie Linke] [2892.72s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2892.97s] And work with that.

[Effie Linke] [2894.33s] And I I didn't charge for long.

[Effie Linke] [2898.14s] It I couldn't get there.

[Effie Linke] [2899.50s] I just couldn't get there.

[Effie Linke] [2900.54s] And then it could be because I didn't feel I valued myself inside to charge.

[Effie Linke] [2904.78s] I Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [2905.34s] Couldn't do this, or they couldn't afford it.

[Effie Linke] [2907.74s] I I couldn't find that sweet spot.

[Effie Linke] [2911.36s] It wasn't until clients started to pay me on their own.

[Effie Linke] [2916.07s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2917.59s] And that's and they start to encourage me that you need to be charging for this.

[Effie Linke] [2921.93s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2922.25s] The amount of work that you put in, the amount of hours that you have put in, you need to be charges.

[Effie Linke] [2928.01s] But you when you start to charge to balance it also with your volunteer work, to balance it with sessions that are complimentary for clients that need it.

[Effie Linke] [2937.82s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [2938.14s] To balance it with your humanitarian work.

[Effie Linke] [2940.61s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [2941.49s] Inside to give that also to find that something that you resonate to and not to charge because that's where I feel I do a lot of volunteer humanitarian work, and I don't charge for clients that I feel I I can't.

[Effie Linke] [2954.72s] This is on a complimentary session, and this is from your loved one on the other side.

[Effie Linke] [2960.32s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [2960.56s] I just wanna say something here, because I've I've worked with I I've worked I can say it because it was public.

[Effie Linke] [2966.93s] I worked I worked with Thomas John, you know, for a while, and and I happened to do some work with John Edward.

[Effie Linke] [2973.09s] And people will look at celebrity mediums, and they'll say, oh, they charge so much.

[Effie Linke] [2978.05s] And I the thing is, even if at that level, you only have so many hours in the day.

[Effie Linke] [2982.79s] And if they charge a $100, you know, for a reading, they would they're they'd be well, they're up they're booked constantly anyway.

[Effie Linke] [2989.75s] So there is there is a supply and demand aspect to it.

[Effie Linke] [2992.97s] But, again, those are those are the exceptions.

[Effie Linke] [2995.36s] Most mediums I know, they don't charge enough.

[Effie Linke] [2998.49s] I'm like, you really need to raise your rates.

[Effie Linke] [3000.89s] You know?

[Effie Linke] [3001.29s] Because most of them, as you said, maybe they're a little bit uncomfortable about their ability.

[Effie Linke] [3005.83s] They feel like people because people always say they can't afford it even though people are going out and spending all kinds of money on other things.

[Effie Linke] [3012.15s] But most mediums, I know it's like they're really they're really humble people, and they're not they're not in it.

[Effie Linke] [3018.15s] Again, they're not in it to get rich, and most of them probably need to raise their rates when you look at what other people are charging for the service they provide.

[Effie Linke] [3026.18s] And a medium reading, I I ask how you feel about this, but it's not something you should be doing every week anyway.

[Effie Linke] [3032.61s] So when people say, I can't afford this, it's like, how many medium readings are you are you gonna get?

[Effie Linke] [3037.49s] You know?

[Effie Linke] [3038.21s] Usually, one or two a year is probably all most people need.

[Effie Linke] [3042.77s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3043.33s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3043.73s] It's in between one to two, and I don't want my clients to come back every month.

[Effie Linke] [3048.74s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3048.86s] If they're coming repeated sessions every month, I encourage them to take us pause.

[Effie Linke] [3054.98s] And why do you need to book a reading with myself or even another medium every month?

[Effie Linke] [3059.22s] There's there's a need there.

[Effie Linke] [3060.34s] There's a void that you're not filling.

[Effie Linke] [3062.47s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3063.03s] And to look inside that void, what it is that you need filled.

[Effie Linke] [3066.15s] And I can't make that decision what it is, but I encourage them to go to either other mediums or find some work that is volunteer for them that they feel is their purpose.

[Effie Linke] [3078.73s] And that finding that void.

[Effie Linke] [3080.09s] And it could also be speaking to a professional.

[Effie Linke] [3083.38s] And it could be working on that inner work, that self development.

[Effie Linke] [3087.86s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3088.41s] That self development going all the way back to that, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [3091.38s] Why do you need to keep seeing this thing?

[Effie Linke] [3093.93s] It's something that they're filling your soul, but are they really filling your soul if you're going back every month to see them?

[Effie Linke] [3101.05s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3101.69s] I would like to see them once or twice a year.

[Effie Linke] [3104.57s] That is a great balance to have.

[Effie Linke] [3107.98s] Once to twice a year, reoccurring, repeating clients is a good sign that you're doing pretty well.

[Effie Linke] [3114.46s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3115.11s] Well, the the other thing about mediumship, you know, and the the value of it and, you know, being someone that works with people in grief, you know, they've done studies where people gone to me, and they're like, a good medium reading can be as healing as a year of traditional grief therapy.

[Effie Linke] [3130.12s] They've they've had people, and they've had them see a group therapist, and they've had them see a medium.

[Effie Linke] [3133.96s] And they're like, after one session with the medium, I just feel so much lighter because just that that connection, that that knowing that your loved one is still there.

[Effie Linke] [3144.28s] And like you said, you know, the one you the the guy that changed your life with that one reading, I've had that experience three or four or five times with the medium where it's like you're, like, this person knows me.

[Effie Linke] [3156.57s] You know?

[Effie Linke] [3156.89s] I I Suzanne Wilson was the first medium reading I ever had, and I remember it was a phone reading.

[Effie Linke] [3162.25s] And I had kept on to remind myself that she didn't know me, but she was describing my family, my grandfather.

[Effie Linke] [3168.22s] She knew I had my family roots in Kentucky because my wife is from Kentucky.

[Effie Linke] [3172.14s] She was giving me names, and I'm like, this is crazy.

[Effie Linke] [3175.89s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3176.30s] So that that one reason for me was like, I I knew mediumship was real before, but having that experience, it's like, I have no doubt.

[Effie Linke] [3185.19s] And that's another good topic you're raising, Brian, because you I've had readings.

[Effie Linke] [3189.51s] I've seen readings where the medium will not give a lot of information to the sitter or the client, though they're filling a need that the client needs.

[Effie Linke] [3201.38s] And I will explain this more further.

[Effie Linke] [3203.61s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3203.93s] I

[Effie Linke] [3204.09s] have seen readings where there's very little information given.

[Effie Linke] [3207.14s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3207.78s] Though the essence and the sense of their clairsentience is really coming in and they start to talk like them, they start to act like them, they start to do mannerisms.

[Effie Linke] [3217.35s] And I will look at the center and they're crying.

[Effie Linke] [3221.11s] They are crying.

[Effie Linke] [3222.15s] And that's all they needed to see was they know that their loved one is alive.

[Effie Linke] [3226.70s] They know that there's no that's how they talk.

[Effie Linke] [3228.78s] That's how they move their hands.

[Effie Linke] [3230.30s] That's how you talked about.

[Effie Linke] [3232.05s] It could be a little bit of trance, which I don't do.

[Effie Linke] [3234.61s] Maybe they're blending with trance.

[Effie Linke] [3235.89s] I don't know.

[Effie Linke] [3236.38s] But I know that I have seen readings where there's very little information.

[Effie Linke] [3239.58s] It's very healing.

[Effie Linke] [3240.62s] But I've also seen very detailed information, given that the sitter wants from the medium saying, where am I from or what's what's their name?

[Effie Linke] [3250.99s] That's another good one we're gonna move into.

[Effie Linke] [3252.91s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3253.23s] Dealing with difficult

[Effie Linke] [3255.15s] That's a really, really good point because, again, talking to people who are developing and seeing them go to different teachers, you know, it's like, the British teachers have a certain style, and it's there's something really great about them because they're very hard, and they're they're, like, they want proof.

[Effie Linke] [3269.67s] But a lot of them are, like, the call it name, rank, and serial number.

[Effie Linke] [3272.63s] They're just, like, just the facts, and they don't care some of them, because I'm generalizing, don't care about the quote message.

[Effie Linke] [3279.91s] And I think that it's gotta be the right blend.

[Effie Linke] [3282.39s] It's gotta be what what is this the sitter needs to feel because, you know, I I don't want at this point in my life, I don't want just to hear, like, you know, Shana was five ten and, you know, and and the age and her cause of death or whatever.

[Effie Linke] [3295.69s] I don't need all that, you know, but I wanna hear more, like, are we are we making a connection?

[Effie Linke] [3300.81s] And so from my head, you're saying you're like, you give the sitter what what they need or spirit coming through you is giving the sitter what they need.

[Effie Linke] [3308.30s] And and we can get really picky about, like, you know, that's that's not evident evidential.

[Effie Linke] [3314.38s] Who's to say?

[Effie Linke] [3315.41s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3315.74s] And we won't know until the person in front of us how they're feeling.

[Effie Linke] [3319.34s] What it's removing ourselves, our ego, our soul, and just allowing what the spirit communicator wants to say to their loved ones.

[Effie Linke] [3327.79s] And it could be the most simplest message.

[Effie Linke] [3329.79s] I love you.

[Effie Linke] [3331.55s] I love you.

[Effie Linke] [3332.74s] And they may have never told them that they love them, and that's what they really needed to hear.

[Effie Linke] [3337.55s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3338.03s] It could be that and or someone that was a good a parent to them that walked out in them, and they've never saw them for the next forty or fifty years.

[Effie Linke] [3346.59s] And then they come to you for a reading, and that's the first person that comes in.

[Effie Linke] [3351.07s] And all of a sudden, they're talking about, I never told you how much I loved you.

[Effie Linke] [3356.27s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3356.67s] I never told you how proud I am of you.

[Effie Linke] [3359.79s] And you could see the difference in the sitter, the client starting to cry.

[Effie Linke] [3365.76s] And that's all you have to say.

[Effie Linke] [3368.41s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3368.72s] That absolutely.

[Effie Linke] [3369.93s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3370.32s] Absolutely true.

[Effie Linke] [3371.45s] The so and I that thing I love we made that point because those things are really important.

[Effie Linke] [3376.36s] You know, I forgive you, I think, is a huge one because so many of us are carrying around unspoken guilt when someone passes.

[Effie Linke] [3384.44s] And and we project that onto the person who's passed thinking they must, you know, hate me because I didn't save them or I didn't visit them enough or whatever it is.

[Effie Linke] [3394.01s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3394.57s] I'll give you an example.

[Effie Linke] [3395.68s] This happened to me, a very powerful reading.

[Effie Linke] [3399.13s] I almost quit.

[Effie Linke] [3401.55s] I almost quit.

[Effie Linke] [3402.51s] I didn't think I was good enough in what I was doing.

[Effie Linke] [3405.63s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3405.95s] I didn't think I could get to that level.

[Effie Linke] [3407.87s] I it was so much blockages coming in with the work that was needed that we talked about discipline, the effort, the homework that was needed.

[Effie Linke] [3417.38s] I can't do this.

[Effie Linke] [3418.66s] I can't do this.

[Effie Linke] [3419.45s] I'm not good enough.

[Effie Linke] [3420.41s] I can't get into this.

[Effie Linke] [3422.02s] I can't be a medium.

[Effie Linke] [3422.97s] Even though I had that awakening, there there are moments where there I was low, very, very deep where I can't continue to do this.

[Effie Linke] [3430.57s] And there was one specific moment I quit.

[Effie Linke] [3434.60s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3435.16s] And I went to bed and I cried and cried and cried.

[Effie Linke] [3438.44s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3438.76s] And everything that I had done, thrown away.

[Effie Linke] [3443.40s] The next couple of days, and I share this story with some of my students, I was pulled to go to a reading, a circle where meetings were practicing.

[Effie Linke] [3455.31s] And I went in as an observer.

[Effie Linke] [3457.63s] I wasn't going to read.

[Effie Linke] [3459.63s] And I log on and I came in halfway.

[Effie Linke] [3463.12s] And the very next reading, the meeting goes directly to me.

[Effie Linke] [3467.84s] And all she said was two words, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [3471.28s] Your father's here, Effie.

[Effie Linke] [3474.00s] He wants me to tell you, don't quit.

[Effie Linke] [3477.68s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [3478.93s] And I stopped cold.

[Effie Linke] [3482.61s] I turned off my camera and audio, and I started bawling.

[Effie Linke] [3487.18s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [3488.45s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [3489.09s] Those was that's all she needed to say.

[Effie Linke] [3492.22s] She didn't need to go further into anything else.

[Effie Linke] [3495.58s] Do you understand now the effects of our words that we don't need to go deep if we don't need to to trust?

[Effie Linke] [3502.22s] She trusted.

[Effie Linke] [3503.10s] That's what I needed to hear, two words.

[Effie Linke] [3506.95s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [3507.52s] Don't quit.

[Effie Linke] [3510.24s] How does she know that?

[Effie Linke] [3511.99s] She didn't know.

[Effie Linke] [3513.20s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3513.68s] She had absolutely no idea.

[Effie Linke] [3515.12s] She says, odds of the message you need to hear from him.

[Effie Linke] [3518.16s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3518.98s] Wow.

[Effie Linke] [3519.46s] That's powerful.

[Effie Linke] [3520.66s] That that is that's amazing.

[Effie Linke] [3522.82s] That was two words, and Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3524.90s] I went back into it, and I could not go back to the circle.

[Effie Linke] [3528.66s] I was a mess.

[Effie Linke] [3530.18s] I was an absolute mess, And I couldn't even share this with anyone because no one was a medium around me.

[Effie Linke] [3538.34s] No one was they wouldn't even believe me.

[Effie Linke] [3540.49s] There was just you were quitting.

[Effie Linke] [3542.18s] Why would you quit all this work that you've done?

[Effie Linke] [3544.26s] But it's a lonely place, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [3547.09s] And you're

[Effie Linke] [3547.33s] in this work.

[Effie Linke] [3548.05s] You need to you you you have to find your tribe.

[Effie Linke] [3550.69s] You have to find people that are like you that understand what you're going through.

[Effie Linke] [3554.77s] And that was one of my that was one of my difficulties and challenges, finding my tribe.

[Effie Linke] [3559.73s] And I still today haven't fully found my tribe, but I do have a lot of support and networks Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3566.74s] I can tap into that we support each other, and we're there.

[Effie Linke] [3570.59s] And we're humble, and we're here for the right reasons.

[Effie Linke] [3573.70s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3574.11s] So after I got that message from my dad, I went right back into it.

[Effie Linke] [3578.67s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3579.23s] Went right back into it the next day.

[Effie Linke] [3581.31s] That is so cool.

[Effie Linke] [3582.19s] I I that that just blows me away.

[Effie Linke] [3585.07s] And and, again, finding your tribe, I think, is also extremely important because it it can be very lonely work.

[Effie Linke] [3591.70s] And, you know, I know people who are mediums.

[Effie Linke] [3593.70s] It's like they don't wanna tell people they're mediums for a couple of reasons.

[Effie Linke] [3596.41s] One is people want free readings if they believe in it, and the other is people are like, oh, you're either insane or, you know, you're ripping people off.

[Effie Linke] [3604.25s] So it's it's a really weird profession.

[Effie Linke] [3607.37s] And and, also, you know, just all kinds of pressures.

[Effie Linke] [3610.41s] There's also, again, the people that criticize you because you charge, you know, because it's no.

[Effie Linke] [3614.65s] It it should be free because it's a gift.

[Effie Linke] [3616.73s] And so there's it's a it's a tough profession to go into.

[Effie Linke] [3619.37s] It's like, I mean, Donette was saying nobody nobody chooses to go chooses to go into this, you know, just for fun.

[Effie Linke] [3625.89s] If you wanna find a way to make money, there's there's a lot easier ways to make money than to become a medium.

[Effie Linke] [3632.05s] If you're expecting to become a millionaire

[Effie Linke] [3635.10s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3636.30s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3638.46s] That may not be the right route.

[Effie Linke] [3641.02s] You have to want to do this work.

[Effie Linke] [3643.42s] You have to have it within you that this is something that's a calling that you you have to put in that effort.

[Effie Linke] [3649.59s] It's just like anything else when you're going to the gym to build your muscles.

[Effie Linke] [3653.28s] It doesn't come overnight.

[Effie Linke] [3654.72s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3655.20s] And if you stop going to the gym, the muscles will start to evaporate.

[Effie Linke] [3660.16s] So this consistency of continuing develop to continue, to consistency of continuing to develop, to continue, to have that within you because it's a lifelong journey.

[Effie Linke] [3667.87s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3668.35s] And to be open to any possibilities that will come your way.

[Effie Linke] [3671.79s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3672.83s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3673.39s] So what are some of the practices you do to to keep yourself, as a clear channel?

[Effie Linke] [3679.70s] The, one of the things that really worked for me, and I was so lucky, fortunate to receive this wisdom, was sitting by myself in the power.

[Effie Linke] [3689.36s] I'm such a left brain with what I do in the work world, and that took a long time with a very type a personality.

[Effie Linke] [3697.76s] And I had to really, really sit by myself every single day, and we have COVID.

[Effie Linke] [3704.22s] So I was able to do that.

[Effie Linke] [3705.74s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3706.05s] And it got to the point where I had to forgive myself if I didn't do it for an hour or two hours or thirty.

[Effie Linke] [3712.78s] Whatever it was, it was supposed to be that day where it went.

[Effie Linke] [3717.06s] And as I started to really sit by myself, I would notice that I would not tune out, but I would just go to a place where I could hear the cars, but not really hear the cars.

[Effie Linke] [3728.50s] Mhmm.

[Effie Linke] [3728.82s] I could hear the kids, but I couldn't really hear the kids.

[Effie Linke] [3732.32s] It was they were there, but they weren't really there.

[Effie Linke] [3735.11s] I could kinda it was like another place that's in between, that ethereal place in between.

[Effie Linke] [3740.64s] But I could also feel the power moving.

[Effie Linke] [3744.17s] I could feel it really growing and growing.

[Effie Linke] [3746.73s] And the more still I got inside and the more I was able to remove myself, that's when I started to notice the difference in the readings.

[Effie Linke] [3755.77s] Being able to stay longer with your power, being able to blend with multiple spirits, but also being able to do multiple readings within the day, not 10 or 20, but more than one or two.

[Effie Linke] [3769.27s] And I caution everyone with your energy to be careful, to always when you're doing readings, to give yourself some downtime.

[Effie Linke] [3777.24s] So I didn't do that.

[Effie Linke] [3778.84s] Give yourself some downtime because I start to see it was burning out.

[Effie Linke] [3782.20s] And then I took a step back and I was giving myself more me time taking care of me.

[Effie Linke] [3787.30s] And nature really works for me.

[Effie Linke] [3789.46s] And if it's cold in the winter up here in Canada, I just envision it.

[Effie Linke] [3793.63s] I just envision it.

[Effie Linke] [3794.66s] And the power of our imagination, Brian can bring us to places that really is cleansing, and you're actually there.

[Effie Linke] [3801.84s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3802.48s] That really helped me, very, very much with sitting in the power.

[Effie Linke] [3806.96s] So, Effie, you you mentioned, your work.

[Effie Linke] [3809.12s] So are you still work full time outside of the leadership also.

[Effie Linke] [3812.96s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [3813.60s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3813.84s] That's how how do you balance those two things?

[Effie Linke] [3816.45s] Good question.

[Effie Linke] [3816.86s] I've been doing it for almost twenty five years.

[Effie Linke] [3820.22s] So as an operations, what I do is I I pull it all together in the back end, but I'm also front end.

[Effie Linke] [3828.22s] A lot of support to all the engineers and actuarials, analysts.

[Effie Linke] [3832.59s] I efficiency.

[Effie Linke] [3834.91s] So when you do something for a long time, just the efficiency, having the answers quickly, going right to it, not having to search online, not having to ask other departments and teams.

[Effie Linke] [3846.32s] I've been doing it for so long.

[Effie Linke] [3847.51s] I'm just able to balance my day out.

[Effie Linke] [3849.84s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [3850.23s] Granted quarter ends are tough, and I know that in advance now.

[Effie Linke] [3853.59s] So I will block my calendar.

[Effie Linke] [3855.11s] I won't do readings.

[Effie Linke] [3856.39s] I won't do any church demonstrations.

[Effie Linke] [3858.39s] I won't go to platforms.

[Effie Linke] [3859.59s] I won't do it.

[Effie Linke] [3860.33s] I know that, and that's something I learned the hard way.

[Effie Linke] [3862.89s] Okay.

[Effie Linke] [3863.21s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3863.77s] And now so it's just being very, very organized, but it's come naturally to me.

[Effie Linke] [3868.17s] It's almost second degree nature.

[Effie Linke] [3870.65s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3871.29s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3871.93s] So do you envision continuing to do work full time, or were you moving more into doing mediumship?

[Effie Linke] [3877.78s] I I know I will be doing this when I retire

[Effie Linke] [3880.34s] full time.

[Effie Linke] [3881.22s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3881.53s] It's I don't know what the future holds.

[Effie Linke] [3883.78s] I'm open to it all.

[Effie Linke] [3885.89s] I do have kids to put through university, at the moment.

[Effie Linke] [3890.05s] Yeah, you and I will both know what that will what that is.

[Effie Linke] [3894.29s] And they want to get cars and they want to get their licenses and a lot of that insurance that comes in and secondary drivers.

[Effie Linke] [3901.93s] And so that's right now, yes.

[Effie Linke] [3905.53s] I will be working, but I'm open.

[Effie Linke] [3907.77s] I don't know what the future holds.

[Effie Linke] [3909.20s] Right?

[Effie Linke] [3909.53s] And that's the most exciting part of it.

[Effie Linke] [3912.16s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3912.32s] And I I wanted to bring that up because, again, the the people have all these crazy ideas about mediumship.

[Effie Linke] [3917.55s] Again, that people think mediums gonna get rich.

[Effie Linke] [3919.95s] It's very difficult to become a full time medium and and to support a family on on that kind of you know, because you don't get benefits.

[Effie Linke] [3928.83s] You don't have I mean, you're in Canada, but but America, we have to pay for health insurance and, you know, all that kind of stuff.

[Effie Linke] [3935.18s] So, it's a it's a it's a it's a calling, as you said.

[Effie Linke] [3939.99s] You have to want yes.

[Effie Linke] [3941.34s] It's a calling.

[Brian D. Smith] [3942.14s] You you have you have to want

[Effie Linke] [3943.43s] it.

[Effie Linke] [3943.66s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3944.99s] But we're coming to the end of our time.

[Effie Linke] [3946.35s] I've I've really enjoyed talking to you.

[Effie Linke] [3948.19s] Is there anything that that you wanted to cover that we didn't cover today?

[Effie Linke] [3952.11s] I would like to tell and when they step into this journey, if they're looking for a tutor to really look in circles at mediums when they're demonstrating how you like their style, how you like how they deal with the nose, their energy, their personality.

[Effie Linke] [3967.91s] If they're looking for a tutor, it doesn't mean you need to go to the big tutors.

[Effie Linke] [3972.16s] You go to the one that you're drawn to.

[Effie Linke] [3974.45s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [3975.09s] And I value private today mentorship more than anything because that's where I really found myself, working with a private mentor.

[Effie Linke] [3983.73s] Oh, really?

[Effie Linke] [3984.37s] Really?

[Effie Linke] [3984.77s] Yes.

[Effie Linke] [3985.17s] And but I also did groups, smaller groups of mentorship within eight to 12 people.

[Effie Linke] [3990.99s] Right.

[Effie Linke] [3991.71s] So if they're looking for a mentor to really look outside and see who they're drawn to and to make a list and look and say, okay, make an appointment.

[Effie Linke] [4000.94s] See if you can find them on YouTube.

[Effie Linke] [4002.86s] Have a discovery session with them.

[Effie Linke] [4005.26s] And you're gonna find the right tutor for you at the right time to trust the one you're pulled to.

[Effie Linke] [4010.70s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4011.58s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4011.82s] That's that is a really good point also.

[Effie Linke] [4013.64s] And and the same thing if you're looking for a medium.

[Effie Linke] [4015.57s] Again, people wanna say, oh, I wanna go to this person because they're a celebrity, but they have a three year waiting list, and they charge $800 an hour.

[Effie Linke] [4023.57s] I you can find very, very good mediums who are available that charge a lot less than that.

[Effie Linke] [4031.15s] All my, are referrals.

[Effie Linke] [4034.03s] It's all referrals.

[Effie Linke] [4034.91s] I don't advertise.

[Effie Linke] [4035.79s] It's it's referrals and referrals, and that's good.

[Effie Linke] [4038.67s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4039.23s] I just keep it like that.

[Effie Linke] [4040.75s] I'm not ready to move into that sector just yet.

[Effie Linke] [4044.36s] The billboards or advertising or whatnot, it's referrals are still today, even in the business world, the best source

[Effie Linke] [4051.57s] Oh, absolutely.

[Effie Linke] [4052.76s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4053.16s] Refer references.

[Effie Linke] [4054.61s] It's it's referrals.

[Effie Linke] [4056.22s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4056.54s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4056.86s] Well and I I tell people that, you know, there's certain things I wouldn't do without a referral, and going to a medium is one of them.

[Effie Linke] [4062.46s] And I'm not gonna pick a medium like I'm gonna age myself with yellow pages.

[Effie Linke] [4066.62s] I'm not just gonna go look at a list of the numbers.

[Effie Linke] [4069.34s] I I wanna talk to someone who's been to that that person, or they're certified by somebody I trust, like, a very solar like, my friend Mark Ireland who certifies mediums.

[Effie Linke] [4078.63s] I know that if Mark is certified, then I know the process they've been through.

[Effie Linke] [4082.86s] So Right.

[Effie Linke] [4083.39s] You know, do and intuition.

[Effie Linke] [4085.43s] Because when I get people I'll give them a list of mediums that I trust, and they'll say, well, which one should I go with?

[Effie Linke] [4090.04s] I'm like, whichever one you're drawn to.

[Effie Linke] [4092.92s] Good for you, Brian.

[Effie Linke] [4094.04s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4094.76s] The perfect answer.

[Effie Linke] [4096.12s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4096.76s] It's been a pleasure.

[Effie Linke] [4098.04s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4098.52s] Absolutely.

[Effie Linke] [4099.24s] So if people want to reach out to you and find out more about you, you mentioned that you do mentorships.

[Effie Linke] [4103.82s] How can people find you?

[Effie Linke] [4105.51s] I do have my website at mediamalia.com.

[Effie Linke] [4109.35s] When you, Google it, it's also gonna be on Substack, I believe you referenced.

[Effie Linke] [4124.27s] So, yeah, that's right.

[Effie Linke] [4125.87s] The coolest thing is here is mediums will call me and I had one medium who was in China and she text me, oh my gosh, I met another Effie

[Effie Linke] [4135.52s] Yeah.

[Effie Linke] [4135.84s] In China.
