MODERN MEDIUM SPIRIT TALK
The TV psychic lifts the lid on life with her spooky talent
Theresa Caputo has written three books and her beloved show Long Island Medium has been winning over fans for more than a decade. We grabbed five minutes with the psychic to talk about her success.
How does it feel now that your show has reached 10 seasons?
It’s insane! I still can’t believe that I even have a television show. Being able to share this with millions of people every week is such a blessing. Growing up, lots of kids say, “I’m going to have a TV show one day.” But I was never like that. To think that’s now become a reality for me is actually insane.
How long did it take you to realise you were a medium?
As a child coming from a very spiritual Catholic family, I would repress anything I saw. It wasn’t until later, in my 20s, that I was not only able to connect to my own loved ones, but everyone’s loved ones and people that I didn’t even know. It took me five years to accept that this was my soul’s journey and I struggled with it at first because of my faith.
How do you deal with critics and sceptics?
Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I get that. People can be critical about anything in life – that’s what makes the world go round. But I truly believe there is more to life than what is here in the physical world.
Why is your charity work important to you?
That’s the way I was raised. My parents are amazing role models. They always gave back and I learned that from them. I’m very proud that I’m able to help so many people, not only with my gift but in other ways too.
