Mumpreneur Movement Magazine: Who is Lindie Gunston?

Lindie: I am a psychic, medium and teacher, born and raised in South Africa but now living in Australia. I’ve lived on four different continents and have just turned 45. Now more than ever I feel truly connected, inspired and at ease with myself and my place in the world. Growing up in South Africa was a very conservative experience, especially as my father was a minister, and we lived by the word of God. I grew up very fearful as I also experienced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of my father, and I was also sexually abused by two trusted family friends. At the age of 16 I moved out of home and gained my independence, I had enough of that shit! I finished school, and then left South Africa to travel the world. Looking back I realised I have always been attracted to women, however due to the conditioning of society, I went down the route of having a husband and kids. It wasn’t until I realised how desperately unhappy I was, that I began to feel into the truth of who I really was. I have always been open minded and accepting of others, however perhaps not so open minded with myself! My coming out was gentle and gradual. I never made a massive announcement, it was what it was! I realise that I have been very fortunate in not experiencing a huge amount of discrimination because of my sexual orientation. I find that if I am open about who I am, it gives others permission to do the same. I love to walk in my truth and be as authentically me as I possibly can, I know that this inspires other to do the same, and why wouldn’t I want to inspire people to be the best versions of themselves? For too long society has pushed their expectations onto us, and the older I get, the more I realise is that we need to break through these expectations, because the only purpose these expectations have, is to keep us in a box! I don’t want to live in a box!

Mumpreneur Movement Magazine: What has your journey been like as a Lesbian Mum in business?

Lindie: I have had a very positive experience as a lesbian mum in business. I’m pretty open with my clients about who I am, if it comes up. I speak openly about my journey, and I definitely do attract LGBTQI clientele because of my openness. I’m also well connected to the LGBTQI network here in Geelong and within Victoria, so word of mouth travels this way. LGBTQI people want to know that they feel safe when having a reading, so it helps for them to come to me through referral.

Mumpreneur Movement Magazine: What have been some of your challenges when it comes to society’s expectations and rules?

Lindie: The challenges have actually been more internal than societies expectations and rules, although that certainly does play

Mumpreneur Movement Magazine: What has helped you to be the confident woman you are?

Lindie: I’ve truly had to learn to love myself and my body as I am. I believe ‘like attracts like’, and the universe has always provided the perfect opportunities for growth, even though it may not feel like it at the time. Through life’s experiences, I’ve taken the approach, of ‘’what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger’’ I’ve had a challenging life, but when I look back, I am grateful for ALL the challenges, as they have made me who I am, and it’s because of these challenges, that I am able to help others through my own experiences, that is such a gift, and gives me the confidence to move forward on my path, knowing that I am helping to raise the vibration of the planet, simply by being authentically me.

Lindie Gunston

Lindie Gunston is a psychic, medium and teacher based in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. From an early age Lindie was able to sense spirit, however growing up in conservative South Africa with a father who was a minister, these spiritual experiences were passed off as evil. It wasn’t until her early 20’s that things really started to make sense, and in her early 30’s Lindie actively started developing her psychic and mediumistic abilities after experiencing the loss of her brother to cancer. Lindie decided early on that if this was a path she was to follow, then she was going to throw her entire heart and soul into it. Lindie is passionate about connecting ethically with her clients and students, inspiring them to reach for the stars in all they do. Lindie teaches psychic and mediumship development both online and in person, conducts private readings, group bookings, and audience readings worldwide.
