I've always embraced my "woo-woo" side. As a proud crystal enthusiast and a 20-something looking to explore my spiritual side, I'm all in when it comes to tarot readings and mystical experiences. So when my estranged mother died in early 2019, it was only natural for me to explore an unconventional path: hiring a medium to reach out to her from the other side.
