Every medium has a story, This is mine

 My gift did not show up politely. It barged in like, “Hey Bella, we’re doing this now,” and I was like, “Absolutely not.”

As a kid, I was scared of the dark not because of movies, but because the dark was… not empty. Spirit didn’t whisper; it showed up loud. I couldn’t sleep alone. I stuck my fingers in my ears every night like it was my full-time job. My body was like, “Girl, what is happening?” hence the constant stomach issues and ear infections.

No one explained intuition.
No one told me, “You’re gifted.”
So I just thought I was scared of everything.

By my teens, it was obvious I was experiencing things other people weren’t. I picked up emotions that didn’t belong to me. I sensed things I couldn’t logically explain. The dark felt crowded. I knew something was different I just didn’t know what.

Fast-forward to my twenties, and a few psychics told me I was gifted.
My reaction?
“Absolutely not, try again.”
I didn’t want that to be true. Fear-based religious conditioning had me scared of my own shadow, never mind Spirit.

But ignoring intuition?
Yeah… that doesn’t work.

People kept opening up to me everywhere I went grocery stores, waiting rooms, random aisles in Walmart — pouring their hearts out, crying, telling me things they hadn’t told anyone. And I’m standing there thinking, “Why me?” Meanwhile, I’m literally giving full readings without realizing that’s what I was doing.

In my thirties, I finally stopped running from the obvious.
I started exploring my gift instead of fighting it.
And once I understood how Spirit communicates, a lot of my fear faded.
Turns out, knowing what’s happening makes it way less terrifying.

By my forties, I was done hiding.
I stepped out of the psychic closet and said, “Fine. I’ll do it. But we’re doing it MY way grounded, clear, ethical, and without the spooky theatrics.”

Today, I use everything I went through the fear, the confusion, the sensitivity to help other people feel safe with their own intuition. I explain things. I break them down. I bring humour into heavy moments. And I don’t pretend to have all the answers I just translate what I get.

I went from being terrified of the dark…
to helping people find the light in their own experiences.

And honestly?
It’s exactly where I’m meant to be.
