The Reluctant Medium
Have you ever wondered if you have a gift? Are you curious about phenomena like psychics and ghosts? Perhaps you can't figure out why you just "know" things. Maria T.

Years later, she reluctantly began training in mediumship and hasn't looked back since. Her curiosity for the unexplained has continued to fuel her desire to know more. Welcome to exploring the World of the Weird along with The Reluctant Medium! Episodes drop weekly on Thursday mornings (PT).
