Tiff breaks down the difference between psychics and mediums, explains how intuition works, and addresses common misconceptions about ghosts, future-telling, and “Hollywood” portrayals of the paranormal. The conversation explores mediumship as a potential healing tool in the grieving process, including when (and when not) people should seek a reading after losing a loved one. The episode also dives into true crime, including how mediums can contribute to investigations, whether time weakens a reading, and Tiff’s past impressions related to high-profile cases like Maura Murray. Along the way, she shares personal stories, ethical boundaries, skeptical encounters, and what it’s really like to do readings in unconventional settings.
