Reflections on self image, self love, and how being psychic is self healing.
We are encouraged to see ourselves through the eyes of others, instead of looking for ourselves.
For a few weeks now, I’ve been deep diving into the pictures and energy around self image, and how clairvoyance affects the pictures we each have of ourselves.
There was a time when I saw myself as fearless, able to move through my life, unafraid of people and the world around me. At the time, my world was very small, as I was only 5 years old. But still, I felt safe and like I belonged and had a right to be just how I was.
By the age of 7, I was a timid shy girl, with a very different self image. By that age, the childhood honeymoon is usually over, we are in a different kind of reality and understanding, and that was true for me. In looking back, what strikes me is that I felt different about myself, and I still remember that feeling.
I felt unmoored, as if suddenly I’d become aware that I wouldn’t necessarily be accepted or liked for just being myself. Or at least that’s how it seemed to me at the time. I was encouraged to be “good”, whatever that meant to my parents, family, teachers, neighbors, friends, etc. So I wanted to be a good girl, because then everyone would like me, right?
The 5 year old me knew something that the 7 year old had forgotten, due to the changing circumstances around her, and the demands to be a certain way so that others would find her pleasing. People pleasing was seen as the thing to be and do, which the 5 year old born revolutionary had no concept of, in those beautiful last innocent days of childhood before the demands to change into someone that others would accept and like showed up in full force.
What’s funny is that people pleasing didn’t actually work. Not accepting myself as I was in all my weird different funniness never worked. It only made me unhappy and invalidated, but that was all part of learning too.
I’ve been looking at my self image pictures in the present, especially as I’m in another phase of reinvention and reconstructing.
I’m so used to reinvention now, after having been through it more times than I can count. I welcome it, it’s never led me down a wrong path.
I’m not changing into a radically different person, but rather becoming more of the me that is truly me. The 5 year old me accepted me as I was, and I've been getting back to that way of being. Learning how to work with energy and use my own abilities changed my life in that now I could become conscious of how I was seeing myself, and clear out the old negative energies and self image pictures that get in my way.
That’s why I teach, it’s why I give readings and healings, it’s why I write. I know how powerful it is to decide to see yourself clearly, and create new pictures for your life.

The Heart of Healing Podcast
I was interviewed by the hosts of Getting to the Heart of Healing podcast in March 2022, and the episode just recently dropped!
I’m so excited to finally hear it, and truly pleased with the results. Natasha Slayton and Sophie Starr, the hosts and creators of ‘Getting to the Heart of Healing’, were so much fun to meet and talk with, and they had such good questions for me. Listen to it below.
The Art of Being Psychic Podcast
I took a summer break from the podcast, and have come back for a new season with a new longer format podcast. Listen at my Substack, Spotify, and Apple podcasts!
Inspiration for self image, awareness, and freedom
‘The Freedom Artist’ by Ben Okri is a magical important beautiful book. Read it.
‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’ by Judy Blume was first published in 1970, and was intended for my age group at the time, but for some reason I never read it. Which is weird, because I was a voracious reader and read everything. Holy guacamole, I finally read this book yesterday, and I cried. So healing. Read it.
I just started ‘Rest is Resistance’, by Tricia Hersey. Important and amazing. We can deprogram our bodies and emotions from endless capitalism. Read it.
Your body is a site of liberation. It doesn’t belong to capitalism. Love your body. Rest your body. Move your body. Hold your body.
- Tricia Hersey, ‘Rest Is Resistance’
