Downloading the Muse: Writer Mary Beth Pemberton on Channeling History

Episode 58! Writer and playwright Mary Beth Pemberton joins Sarah and Jane to talk about creating from the realm of possibility—where intuition, signs, and Spirit guide the work. Mary Beth shares how she “downloads” scenes, knows when she’s in flow (vs. grinding), and why discipline, sleep, music, and environment (hello, Ireland) keep her channel clear.    She opens up about channeling historical figures for her play, the responsibility of telling their stories, and the sacred bridge between creativity and mediumship. Plus: behind-the-scenes of her animal-communication TV concept, and a riveting near-death experience that sharpened her inner knowing: “Do you want to stay or go?” This one is a masterclass in trusting signs, protecting your creative process, and saying yes to your calling   Key Takeaways   Flow > Force: If it’s grinding, pause. Flow writes in minutes what force can’t in hours. Prime the channel: Rituals (music, movement, sleep, nature) lift your frequency and open the door to guidance. Trust the signs: Ask, notice, confirm. Synchronicity is a conversation—celebrate it to see more. Voice stewardship: When channeling, your job is to honor the story the way Spirit wants it told. Environment matters: Create a container where your attention is protected and your energy stays high. After the edge, clarity: Near-death moments can catalyze unshakeable purpose. “Ritual primes the channel: music, movement, sleep, nature.” Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane’s Website: Jane Morgan Medium  Sarah’s Website: Sarah Rathke Podcast Instagram: @MediumCuriousPod YouTube: @mediumcurious VerySoul.com 💜 Support Medium Curious If you love this conversation, please download the episode, subscribe, and leave us a review—your support helps keep the magic flowing.
