In this episode of Spirit Talk, I explore something I see again and again in mediumship development — what I call directionless development.

Many students practise regularly, attend seminars, reflect deeply, and genuinely care about their unfolding. And yet, beneath all that effort, there’s often a quiet sense that something isn’t quite moving. Progress feels inconsistent. Development feels busy, but not anchored.

In this talk, we look at why that happens.

I explore the difference between experience and development, why effort alone doesn’t always lead to growth, and how mediumship can plateau even when you’re doing “all the right things.” I introduce the iceberg model of development, the relationship between personal growth and practical training, and why both are essential if development is going to deepen over time.

We also look closely at:
Why seminars can inspire without creating lasting change
The role of discipline, exercises, and mindset in real development
How performance thinking interferes with learning
Why feedback is essential, and how to use it without self-judgement
What it actually means to develop with direction rather than drift
This episode is about slowing down, becoming more honest with yourself, and learning how to turn experience into something that truly compounds over time.
