When life cracks open something unexpected
I sit down with my client Philippa Methuen, a psychic medium who has quietly built a thriving, word-of-mouth practice over more than two decades – all alongside her ongoing employed career.
Philippa shares how the traumatic loss of her sister as a teenager sparked unexplained experiences that she didn’t understand at the time and how, years later, further loss and upheaval brought her back to exploring something she had once tried to ignore.
We talk about stigma, secrecy, courage, confidence and what it really looks like to build a business slowly and organically without marketing, without a grand plan, and initially… under a different name.
Whether you’re curious, sceptical, open, unsure – or a blend of all four – this conversation invites you into a gentle “what if?” space.
In this episode we discuss
- How Philippa’s psychic experiences first began after the loss of her sister
- The role grief and trauma played in shaping her path
- How she taught herself to connect through meditation and intuitive practice
- Why she worked under a different name in the early years
- How she built a consistent client base entirely through word of mouth
- What actually happens during a psychic reading and how she approaches evidence, validation and guidance
If you’ve ever wondered how someone steps into work that feels unusual, misunderstood or outside the mainstream — this episode is a beautiful exploration of backing yourself quietly and building confidence over time.
Come and listen with an open mind and see what you think.
