Key takeaways 6
Mediumship is physically and emotionally taxing; Caputo experienced severe anxiety and physical illness (including being carried to the doctor) before understanding that she was absorbing the emotions and energies of spirits.
Faith and family are foundational; Caputo credits her parents for accepting her gift without pathologizing it, contrasting with her host's experience of family fear leading to addiction.
Ouija boards are dangerous; Caputo asserts they open a 'vortex' or vessel for negative energies that attach to users, citing a specific instance where a woman had to burn her board to remove dark energy.
Humor is a healing tool; Caputo believes spirits use levity (like funny anecdotes) to help the living process grief and find joy, stating laughter is 'the best medicine for the soul.'
Privacy is a major sacrifice of fame; Caputo notes that simple acts like shopping at Target or going to dinner become impossible due to public recognition, leading to isolation.
Spiritual protection is non-negotiable; Caputo uses crosses, daily prayers, and specific meditations to maintain boundaries, noting that she cannot receive direct messages from spirits but channels them through others.

“I make what I do look very easy and it's the hardest thing. But I don't know how to be anything else but me.”
▶ 5:22Caputo reflecting on the hidden difficulty of her work and the pressure to appear effortless.
“If this is my soul's journey, then I will put your gift in your hands. You open the doors. I will walk through them with my gift, but I only want to use it for healing purposes.”
▶ 14:44Caputo describing her pivotal moment of surrendering her gift to God after 9/11, marking her commitment to positive use only.
“You're calling in energies... you do have that ability and I feel like that is just opening a vortex or or a vessel that you don't want to or you don't really know what to do.”
▶ 19:08Caputo explaining why Ouija boards are risky, framing them as uncontrolled portals for spiritual energy.
“I feel that spirit knows as part of the boundaries... I'm not being pushed to say anything. That's several things. It means that maybe the soul doesn't need to communicate. Maybe the person doesn't want to hear from their loved ones because not everyone wants to hear from their loved ones that have died.”
▶ 41:32Caputo addressing misconceptions about being 'always on,' explaining that spirits respect free will and timing.
“Laughter is the best medicine for the soul... it also gives us permission to kind of live life with happiness and joy even though we're missing our loved ones that have died.”
Caputo explaining the therapeutic role of humor in her readings.
