Breaking Generational Curses: My Journey from Religion to Revelation as a Psychic Medium – An Interview with Mrs. Dru

How does a woman raised in a religious environment transform lifelong isolation, inherited pain, and intuitive gifts into a calling that heals across generations? 

For Mrs. Dru, the path to spiritual awakening began in childhood, when she could sense truths no one had told her, feel spirits others couldn’t see, and navigate a world that often misunderstood her. Years later, it was the birth of her daughter—and a powerful dream—that catalyzed her decision to stop hiding and fully step into her role as a healer, medium, and spiritual teacher.

In this conversation, Mrs. Dru shares what it’s like to channel as a medium, how she uses ritual and automatic writing to support deep healing, and the personal story behind her unexpected pregnancy after years of infertility. You’ll also hear about the spiritual apology she received from beyond and the inspiration behind her debut book, Spirituality for Beginners. Her journey is a moving reminder of what becomes possible when we stop running and choose to stand in our truth.

Tell us a little bit about your story—your awakening and that journey into consciousness, mindfulness, and spirituality. I know you grew up in a family where faith was part of your upbringing. Can you walk us through how spirituality began to unfold in your life?

Mrs. Dru: I did grow up in a Christian background, but I’ll be honest—it wasn’t fully healthy. It was very toxic. Still, the foundation was Christianity, and even as a little girl, I was in love with God. That love was the beginning for me. It awakened me to God and the Bible stories—I loved reading them. That’s when my awakening experience truly began, and I’m very grateful for that. I no longer identify as Christian, but I honor those early roots.

When did you first become aware of your intuitive gifts? How did that start to come online for you?

Mrs. Dru: It was always there. Honestly, it caused a bit of a rift between my mom and me, because she couldn’t understand how I knew certain things at such a young age.

For example, when my grandfather passed away, I was around five or six. I didn’t know him, but I described him in great detail—my dad still tells that story. Then there was a little boy at church I used to play with. He passed, and I could feel exactly how it happened. My mom hadn’t told me, but she was aware of the details from other adults. It gave her a very uneasy feeling.

So throughout my childhood, I felt like something was wrong with me. My mom didn’t know how to handle it, and it made me feel isolated and different.

At what point did you start to embrace these gifts and begin seeing life through a different lens?

Mrs. Dru: It started with my daughter. I was 30 when I had her, and before that, I had been running from my gifts because I didn’t understand them. Where I came from, this wasn’t something people accepted or openly discussed.

I did grow up around prophets in the church, and honestly, what I was doing wasn’t much different from what they did—but outside of church, it wasn’t something you were “supposed” to do.

When I got pregnant, I had this powerful experience with her. And I asked myself, “How am I going to tell her it’s okay to be herself if I’m still hiding who I am?” That was my turning point. It became my moment of coming out and doing this work publicly. But behind closed doors? I had always been this way—100%.

So, before the age of 30, you were experiencing things intuitively. But were you developing those gifts in any way—through books, classes, videos, or other tools?

Mrs. Dru: I was always drawn to magic—magical movies, meditation. And I was heavy on prayer. I would talk to God in any way I could. I believe I was unconsciously developing those gifts because I didn’t have anywhere else to direct them. I was in my little bubble.

I still felt different, and that created issues—even in my previous marriage. I would know things I wasn’t “supposed” to know, even though I wasn’t practicing anything openly. It was just part of my spirit.

At age 30, were you still involved in the Christian church, or had you stepped away by then?

Mrs. Dru: No, I had stepped away probably around the age of 24 or 25. I started to distance myself because it no longer felt like me. I was still learning how to feel safe within myself and accept who I really was, and that took time.

One of the things that sparked my awakening was a book I read in 11th grade, called Restless Spirits, by Edna St. Vincent Millay. That book changed everything for me, mentally and spiritually. It felt like I was reading about myself. She was a poet, and that’s how I first started expressing myself, too. I’m an automatic writer, so writing is how I connect—I would just sit and write.

We even shared the same birth month. Her name sounded like a guy’s name, and that was something she was insecure about—same for me, since I’m Dru. We had all these parallels. Coming from the kind of environment I was raised in, picking up that book changed my entire perspective on life. It permitted me to be free.

So, I’d say that my mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom began with that moment. And I’ve always been into spirit, so even the title Restless Spirits felt like a confirmation. After that, I gradually began to step away from the belief system I had grown up with. It opened me up to different cultures, different spiritual paths.

In my Christian upbringing, I was taught that people who didn’t believe a certain way were going to hell. But at one point, I asked myself—how can all these good people in the world be doomed just because they don’t believe in this one specific thing? That question cracked something open within me, and I began guiding myself inward, moving away from religion and toward a broader spiritual awareness.

Your daughter is born when you’re 30, and that’s when you start going public.

Mrs. Dru: Yes. And I’ll say this—healing is not pretty. People like to make it seem like this beautiful, serene moment, but for me, it wasn’t. I couldn’t run anymore. I remember saying those words while I was pregnant: “I can’t run anymore.” And after she was born, that was it. I had to face everything.

And it’s a crazy story… I had a dream where I saw this shop. Then one day, shortly after giving birth, I got lost while driving. At that point, I was going through so many spiritual experiences—the spirits wouldn’t stop coming to me. I could be on the phone with someone, and after hanging up, their loved ones would come through to me. I wasn’t sleeping. I couldn’t turn it off or ignore it anymore.

So, I’m driving around, lost, and I pass by the exact shop I saw in my dream. I pulled over and walked in. It was a spiritual shop in Lake Elsinore. A woman looked at me and asked, “Can I help you?” and I just broke down crying. I told her, “I don’t know why I’m here, but I am. I can’t handle whatever else is happening to me.”

She said there was someone in the back who could talk to me, and that’s how I met my first shaman teacher. As soon as she walked out, she looked at me and said, “God is directly behind you. Some people have to do things to get to God, but you don’t.” That moment was life-changing.

Within about 90 days, I opened my own spiritual space. I had no idea what I was going to do or how, but I knew I couldn’t hide anymore.

When you were having these experiences, how did you navigate that with friends and family?

Mrs. Dru: That part was really tough. I learned early on not just to blurt things out—like “your grandfather is here” or “your mom is saying this”—because people would get scared and wonder how I knew that. Some weren’t ready.

So I had to develop discernment. I would ask God when it was appropriate to say something and when not to. I trained myself only to do it in work settings. You know how the Long Island Medium walks around just reading people everywhere? That’s not healthy, in my opinion. It can feel like you’re invading someone’s personal space.

Totally.

Mrs. Dru: So I don’t do things like that. I learned very early on that it wasn’t healthy to share messages uninvited. It took time to navigate that boundary.

When I do sessions, I write. That’s where it all started for me—writing. That’s how the poetry and everything else came. I write down what I hear, and that’s it.

Initially, I was offering mediumship readings, and clients would ask, “Can you tell me more about myself?” During the process of doing mediumship, people began asking for psychic readings. But I still had a stigma around the word psychic. I didn’t like it. I didn’t want to be called that. And just like that, I was already in it before I had even claimed it.

So you opened up this space. How did you advertise? How did you spread the word? Lake Elsinore is in California, for people who don’t know, and you’re now based in Georgia. How did it all unfold?

Mrs. Dru: That day, I met my first shaman teacher, who told me I was supposed to do the work she was doing. I remember asking her, “How? Do I need cards?” And she said, “No, you’re stronger than me—you don’t need these.”

She told me that three women would help me open my space—and they did. I started advertising readings, and this one lady came in. She was my very first in-person client, and we’re still close to this day. She brought three other women with her, and they were so impressed that they helped me open my shop. They painted it, furnished it, made flyers, and went around Lake Elsinore and Temecula advertising for me.

When I say it happened fast, it happened fast. And it never stopped from there. Everything that followed was a result of word of mouth.

Did you call your business Temple of Divine Deities back then, or was it a different name?

Mrs. Dru: No, back then I called it Clear Purple. That was the name I used at the time. I’m an amethyst girl—it’s my birthstone—so I went with Clear Purple. The Temple of Divine Deities came a little later.

What does the Temple of Divine Deities mean to you? Why did you choose that name?

Mrs. Dru: During my awakening, I explored so many different belief systems, cultures, and deities. Some of them felt uncomfortable to me—they didn’t resonate. One day, I was driving intentionally (because I drive with purpose), and my spirit said to me, “Even though you don’t feel aligned with every belief or system, every deity has a purpose. Every deity is divine.”

That moment stayed with me. I thought, Okay, this is the name—Temple of Divine Deities. Even if I don’t agree with everything, I honor the divinity in each one. Every god has a purpose.

Did you feel discomfort because of your Christian background, or was it something else?

Mrs. Dru: It was something else. Even now, I still consider myself a baby in the spiritual world. And I started noticing that a lot of people who were drawn to me were in pain, and pain can turn into anger. Some people use that pain to fuel magic meant to hurt others. And that didn’t sit right with me.

I believe in healing. I believe in love and light. I don’t believe in pain-based magic. I believe in manifesting from a place of deep healing, not from anger.

One of my upcoming books is titled The Soul Has No Color. I’m very diverse, and I don’t like the divisions we create between each other, especially in religious or spiritual communities. A lot of that division, in my view, comes from unresolved pain.

How many years have you been serving people since opening that first shop in Lake Elsinore?

Mrs. Dru: It’s going on 15 years.

You’ve been doing this for a long time. And what I’m hearing is that mediumship has been the doorway for you in working with clients—is that true?

Mrs. Dru: Yes, mediumship readings are the heart of what I do. And they’re not just healing for my clients—they’re healing for me, too. It’s one of the most profound things I’ve ever done for my journey. When my clients find peace, it brings me peace as well. It’s a confirmation that I’m not crazy.

It feels deeply meaningful to give someone that kind of healing, especially when I’m a total stranger, and yet I’m able to share something that shifts their heart. One of my boundaries is that I don’t let people talk to me first. I don’t want them to ask questions. I believe if I’m truly connecting, then I should be able to do so without needing information upfront. Just let me connect.

Mediumship is truly my favorite. Psychic readings? People love them, but they can become addictive. Sometimes it turns into, “Okay, you said this would happen—now what’s next? And what’s after that?” That energy of constant seeking can get a bit unhealthy. But mediumship—those readings touch my heart in a much deeper way.

Do you still work with people in person, or is it all online now?

Mrs. Dru: I do both. I offer online sessions, and I also conduct house visits if someone is nearby. I have clients all over the world—I’ve flown out to visit some, and I’ve even had someone come from Japan.

So, if someone wants a mediumship reading, whether online or in person, what does that process look like? And how does automatic writing play into it?

Mrs. Dru: The first thing I do is ask for the name of the loved one they want to connect with. That’s all I need to begin. I’ll light a white candle to signify purity, play some soft music, and then I sit down with a pen and paper.

So you ask them specifically for the name of the person they want to connect with?

Mrs. Dru: Yes. I get the direct name. When you open that door, any spirit can potentially come through, so I try to focus on who we’re calling in. That name helps me tune into the exact energy.

However, I also make it clear—if that spirit were harmful in any way, my guides would not allow me to make the connection. If the person had a dark or violent past, my guides will block that communication. Usually, the client already knows and won’t even book a session if that’s the case.

Once you have the name, what happens next?

Mrs. Dru: I listen and write. I don’t try to make sense of anything while I’m writing—I have no idea what it means to the person in front of me. I’m just the channel.

Once I’m done writing, I start to share: “Do you know this? I see this.” I walk the client through everything that came through from the spirit. It’s always emotional. And I always ask for confirmation—something that proves it’s them. And they usually give it.

Many mediums seem to connect first with a spirit and then just let anyone come in. But it sounds like your process is very focused. Did you choose to work that way intentionally, or is it just what naturally came to you?

Mrs. Dru: It’s not a method from a book—it’s just how it came to me. I’m just being myself. When you open that door, yes, any spirit can come in. That’s why I say the TV version of mediumship isn’t always healthy. Spirits are always around, and as a medium, you have to be mindful of that.

That’s why I start with the name. It lets me tune into the direct energy of the person the client wants to hear from. Some people only want to speak with their mother or father—they don’t want unexpected guests. But sometimes other spirits still show up.

And if they do, I allow it. Sometimes three or four people will come through in a single session. That just happened on Monday. But I always begin by anchoring into the direct energy of the one they came to connect with.

This might be a tough question to ask, but are there ever times when nothing comes through, where there’s no connection?

Mrs. Dru: I’m going to be 100% honest. There was one session early on in my mediumship work that really stuck with me. A woman came in wanting to connect with her father. I began the process—I wrote his name down, started tuning in—and I saw him. But he was sitting with his back to me. He wouldn’t speak to me.

I looked up at her and said, “He’s not going to talk to me… because I’m a Black woman.” She immediately burst into tears. She said, “I didn’t believe he was still like that.”

It was such a powerful moment for both of us. It taught me that just because someone crosses over doesn’t mean they’ve evolved. Spirits can still learn, but if they haven’t done that healing, they may carry old patterns with them.

That was the first time I felt a sense of rejection in spirit. I told her, “You don’t have to pay me. I can’t believe this happened.”

I’ve had other experiences, too—spirits who didn’t want to talk because of my race or because they were still wrapped up in their religion. But the personality always shows up. Their essence still comes through. So even if they’re reluctant, the client always recognizes them.

But to answer your question directly: there’s never been a time I haven’t connected with a spirit during a session.

Is the automatic writing something I could read on the page afterward, or is it more like scribbles?

Mrs. Dru: It’s a mix of both for me. I have to catch messages fast. And even when I’m talking to a client, the spirit is still talking—so I’m writing and listening at the same time.

Sometimes the writing is legible, and other times it’s not. It depends on how fast things are coming through.

Awkward question—but could you do this right now with me? Or do you have to be in a certain zone for it to work?

Mrs. Dru: I do need to be in a certain zone. But if you want to try, I’ll grab a piece of paper and do it. Usually, though, I need to be in a specific headspace to connect fully.

What does it take for you to get into that zone?

Mrs. Dru: Music. It’s always the music. I have a particular track I play that snaps me right into it. I also use bells to cleanse my energy—just run them over my head—then I take a deep breath and drop in.

Would you be willing to try it?

Mrs. Dru: I would. I would—for you.

(Listen to the entire mediumship reading on the video embedded above.)

Dru, thank you so much. What a fascinating experience. On your website, I saw that in addition to mediumship sessions, you also offer rituals. Can you share more about those and how they benefit people?

Mrs. Dru: Absolutely. The best way I can describe them is like long-distance Reiki, but focused and intentional. I offer different types, but love and generational healing are the big ones.

Some of us are blocked when it comes to love, and I work to open up those portals, clearing the energy within that’s blocking you from receiving love.

But my number one focus is generational energy. Many people unconsciously repeat the same cycles that their families have lived out for generations. These rituals help remove that stuck energy.

On my end, the work lasts for 21 days. The client usually fasts during this time, and every day, I go in, do energy work for them, clearing and shifting what no longer serves them. People say it’s life-changing. And I know it works because I’ve done it on myself first.

I even do fertility work. When I got pregnant with my daughter, I had been told I would never have children.

You were told that?

Mrs. Dru: Yes. I had cancer at 17. They removed half my cervix, and later—around age 27 or 28—I found out something heavy. My father had robbed a store, and the woman he had hurt was pregnant. She lost her baby.

That shook me. I didn’t come from a good background, and I suddenly knew in my gut that my ovaries were carrying some of that trauma. That woman’s pain was part of my energetic lineage.

So I ran a salt bath, saged myself, and asked her—wherever she was—to forgive me. I said, “I’m not my father.”

Within a year, my daughter came into my life. And let me tell you, I had tried everything—IVF, treatments—you name it—almost 10 years of trying.

It wasn’t my ex-husband; he already had kids. It was me. And after that energetic clearing, I conceived. Now I have fertility clients. I call their babies my grandbabies, even though I don’t have any grandkids yet. But they’re mine in spirit.

You also have a book called Spirituality for Beginners: Awaken to Your Higher Self, which you describe as a love letter to seekers. Tell me about that.

Mrs. Dru: That book holds everything that guided me into spirituality.

It breaks down major religions and how they connect with different deities, which is one of my core passions. It includes a how-to guide, affirmations, tips on how to detach from religious conditioning—especially if you’re trying to release ties to Christianity—and how to begin a meditation practice.

It’s specifically designed for individuals who are unsure of where to begin. When I came out, tarot wasn’t as mainstream. Now it is, and people often confuse tarot with spirituality, but they’re not the same thing.

This book provides the basics: how to light a white candle with intention and how to initiate spiritual rituals. At the end, there’s a section of affirmations and small steps that can help you begin your journey. It’s simple, but powerful.

Could you please show us the notepad you used during our earlier session?

Mrs. Dru: Of course—here it is. Can you see it?

Yes, wow. Lots of lines going on. That helps you separate concepts?

Mrs. Dru: Yes. It helps me stay balanced. I’ve done that since I was younger—whenever I got nervous or overwhelmed, I’d move my pen to center myself. Connecting to automatic writing helps me stay clear and grounded as I listen and channel.

What’s the best place for people to connect with you or book a session?

Mrs. Dru: It’s simple—MrsDru.com, just my name.

I also have a Facebook page, Temple of Divine Deities, where people can follow my work and stay updated.

Dru, it’s been so great to connect with you. I love your heart, your desire to serve others, and the way you share your gifts. Thank you for the difference you’re making in the world—we truly appreciate it.

Mrs. Dru: Thank you for having me here. And you’re awesome too, David.

We’re all in this healing process together. That’s something I sincerely believe. Just as humans, we’re all trying to find our purpose. And more often than not, it begins with connection. Just showing up for each other.

This is what I’m here for. It’s not easy—I’m still a mom, I’m a wife, I homeschool my kids, and I do this work full-time. I’ve been doing it for over 14 years now.

It’s not easy, but it’s my purpose.
