Dionne Webster
I would like to thank Dionne Webster for taking time out to talk to The Grind Magazine about her background, let's get right into the interview,
Tell our readers about your origin story and your major accomplishments that mean the most to you as you have built your brand, business or career.
I would have to say my origin, as it pertains to me identifying as a Psychic Medium, began during my time in the military. I was known as the “therapist” of the office because everyone wanted to come sit and ask for advice. Unbeknownst to them, the advice I was giving was channeled guidance from their spirit team, commonly called guardian angels. When I retired, I thought, what better way to continue hiding my gifts than to become a Counselor. While I loved counseling and mentoring young adults, it took a toll on me not being my true self. So, what did I do? I bet on myself! I quit my job and cried myself to sleep. Best decision I ever made.
Since then I’ve been asked to speak for national organizations, and have been featured on podcasts, the radio, in magazines, and now The Grind! And this is just over the course of a year!
Are there any events, promotions, new releases or projects that you would like to tell our readers about that may be approaching in the next couple of months?
Yes! As I mentioned my dream is to have a show where I can perform mediumship. To start I will begin filming for my YouTube and displaying the mediumship session. So anyone that is wanting to connect to a loved one that passed and doesn’t mind being filmed should contact me. They can email me at sincitymedium@gmail.com to be on the list.
Once again we would like to give thanks for Dionne for stopping by and providing us more information about her passion and career goals.
