The Connected Spirit Podcast

If your mediumship feels inconsistent no matter how much you practise, and doubt keeps sneaking into your readings no matter how long you've been developing, this solo episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast is going to hit differently. Courtney Dawson breaks down the real reason most developing mediums struggle to trust what they receive from Spirit. And it's not what most teachers will tell you. It's not a spiritual problem. It's not a sign that you don't have what it takes. It's a training gap... and it's fixable. Most mediumship training skips a critical step. Students are taught how to connect to Spirit, how to make the link, before they're ever taught how to connect to themselves. And when you don't deeply know your own energy, your own body, your own emotional state, there will always be room for doubt to creep in. Every single time. In this episode, Courtney walks you through The Connected Spirit Method, her four-connection framework that builds the foundation for clear, consistent, and confident mediumship. This is the concrete you pour before you put up the walls. What you'll discover: • Why doubt in your mediumship is almost always a training issue, not an ability issue • The step most mediumship courses skip entirely (and why it costs you your confidence) • The four connections you need to develop before you reach out to the spirit world • How to recognise the difference between your own energy, your recipient's energy, and the spirit communicator's energy • Why knowing what your body feels like is actually the foundation of evidential mediumship • What changes in your readings when you follow this process consistently • How The Connected Spirit Method approaches mediumship from a holistic point of view   📌 Subscribe to The Connected Spirit Podcast so you never miss an episode that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual journey.

What actually happens when we die? Not the fear, not the religion — the real experience. Psychic medium and medical intuitive Julie Ryan has spent over 30 years witnessing people transition from this life, and she's mapped the entire process into 12 distinct phases she calls the 12 Phases of Transition®. In this episode, Julie walks us through what the soul actually experiences during the dying process, whether peace is present even in sudden or traumatic deaths, how to support a loved one from this side of the veil, and one simple practice to stay connected to those who've crossed over. If you're sitting with grief, caring for someone close to passing, or simply want to understand what awaits us all — this conversation will change how you think about death and how you live.   Find Julie and her free gift for listeners at askjulieryan.com.   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/askjulieryan/   Website: https://askjulieryan.com/ Join Courtney's programs: Summer with Spirit — 12 weeks of live mediumship training.

Have you ever felt a presence, had a knowing that came out of nowhere, or experienced something you couldn't explain — and then spent the rest of the day convincing yourself it was just a coincidence? If that sounds familiar, this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast is going to hit differently. Courtney shares the story of the very first spirit message she ever gave — in a parking lot, at night, before she had a single class under her belt. A man in Spirit wouldn't leave her alone until she delivered his message to his daughter and granddaughter. She gave his physical description, how he passed, the whole thing. Both women could take all of it. And in that moment, everything changed. If you've been quietly sitting on experiences like this and brushing them off, this episode gives you real, grounded answers. In this episode you'll learn: The 5 real signs you're receiving spirit communication — not just intuition Why mediumship development is different from psychic work and why that distinction matters Why you don't have to have been aware of Spirit since childhood to be a developing medium What evidential mediumship actually looks like and why the evidence is always the medium's job Why formal mediumship training removes doubt, builds consistency, and changes everything The right reasons to pursue this path — and why it's sacred, not a shortcut If after listening you find yourself nodding along thinking yeah, I've had that... that's not your imagination. That's Spirit.   Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Website: mediumcourtneydawson.com  Join Courtney's programs: Summer with Spirit — 12 weeks of live mediumship training.

If your mediumship development feels inconsistent no matter how hard you practise, this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast is going to hit differently. This week I sat down with Sunny Dawn Johnston, globally recognised spiritual teacher, author, and CEO of the School of Light. With 42 years in the spiritual field and 26 years of professional experience, Sunny brings a level of grounded wisdom that is rare in this industry. She has appeared on Lifetime, Gaia, Fox, and Coast to Coast AM and has helped tens of thousands of people reconnect with their soul, their intuition, and their spiritual gifts. And what she shared in this conversation stopped me mid-sentence. Most developing mediums are taught how to connect with Spirit. What almost nobody teaches is how to be present enough to actually receive what Spirit is sending. Sunny unpacks why scattered energy is the number one block to clear and consistent spirit communication, and what to do about it starting today. This is not a conversation about doing more. It is a conversation about coming back to yourself so Spirit can actually reach you. In this episode we cover: Why energetic presence is the real foundation of evidential mediumship How scattered energy blocks spirit communication more than ability ever could Why sensitive people burn out and how to build longevity as a psychic medium Sunny's personal five-step morning presence practice How to manage and maintain your energy before every reading The message the angels have been delivering consistently since the pandemic Why staying in your body is one of the most important things a developing medium can do The difference between spiritual escapism and genuine spirit communication Connect with Sunny Dawn Johnston: Website: sunnydawnjohnston.com   Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Website: mediumcourtneydawson.com  Join Courtney's programs: Summer with Spirit — 12 weeks of live mediumship training.

In this solo episode, Courtney Dawson explores one of the most common challenges in mediumship development: inconsistency. If you have ever had one strong, evidence-filled reading followed by another where the connection felt unclear or difficult to maintain, this episode explains why that happens. Courtney shares why inconsistent spirit communication is often not about lack of ability, but about missing structure, technical foundation, and repeatable process. She talks about the gap in much of today's mediumship training, where developing mediums are often taught fragments of technique without learning how to consistently build, hold, and re-establish a link with the spirit world. Drawing on her experience as a professional psychic medium, years of development circle work, and training at Arthur Findlay College, Courtney explains what supports stronger, more reliable evidential mediumship. She also shares how better training helped her move from hoping a connection would work to knowing how to work with Spirit in a clear and consistent way. This episode is for developing and professional mediums who want stronger foundations, more confidence, and a more repeatable approach to mediumship. In this episode Why mediumship inconsistency is usually a training issue, not an ability issue What is often missing from mediumship education How a repeatable process supports stronger spirit communication What to do when you lose the link with a spirit communicator during a reading Why technical foundation matters in evidential mediumship How structured practice can support growth, confidence, and accuracy   ☀️ Summer with Spirit - 12 week live training.

If your manifestations keep stalling no matter how hard you try, the problem isn't your practice — it's the 95% of your mind running silently in the background. Spiritual hypnotherapist Lynnsey Robinson joins Courtney Dawson to expose exactly what is blocking your goals at the subconscious level, why most affirmations are working against you, and how to finally reprogram the beliefs that have been quietly running your life since childhood. This is the conversation that changes how you see manifestation, your spiritual gifts, and your own power to create. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER: Why visualizing and affirming only engages 5% of your mind — and what controls the other 95% How your subconscious was programmed before age nine and why that blueprint is still determining what you can and cannot manifest today The real reason your excitement around a new goal always fades — and what is actually happening in your mind when it does Why half the population is doing affirmations completely wrong and how to fix yours so your subconscious actually receives them How spiritual hypnotherapy goes beyond habit change to access past lives, spirit guides, and genuine soul-level transformation Connect with Lynnsey Instagram https://www.instagram.com/LynnseyRobinson/ High Vibin' It Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/1zqn1j0AIADQNMpF0KtzQq Connect with Courtney Join The Waitlist for The Connected Spirit Membership https://theconnectedspiritschool.myflodesk.com/cdlgq1zmnb 📣 The Remembering - 3 Day In Person Retreat July 17-19,2026 https://loveofaverykind.ca/retreat/2878-2   Mediumship Mastery Circle https://mediumcourtneydawson.my.canva.site/mediumshipmastery Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediumcourtneydawson/   Website https://mediumcourtneydawson.com   📌 Subscribe to The Connected Spirit Podcast so you never miss an episode that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual journey.   ethical mediumship, God Source, evidential mediumship, spiritual growth, divine connection, intuition, healing, spiritual mentorship, psychic medium, sacred service

In this sacred and thought-provoking conversation, Courtney Dawson sits down with psychic medium Nicole Newman to explore what's been quietly lost in modern mediumship — and how bringing the God-force, or divine Source, back into the work transforms everything. Together, they discuss how performance culture has overshadowed reverence, how ego subtly replaces service, and why true mediumship begins and ends with humility. Nicole shares how reconnecting to the sacred enhances accuracy, healing, and authenticity in readings, and how mediums can anchor into divine partnership without dogma or religion.

What happens when you grow up healing strangers in church pews… but are told your gifts are from the devil? In this soul-shaking conversation, spiritual teacher and intuitive healer Tammi Morrison joins me to talk about reclaiming spiritual gifts after religious trauma, healing the mother wound, and learning to trust divine timing—especially when life pulls you into the void.

It started with a whisper—Tamarin Martin, eyes soft but steady, tuning in live on Instagram. A name. A detail. A presence. Then the moment: "He says he's sorry. He couldn't see clearly when he was alive, and he's taking ownership now." You could feel the shift—grief stretching into something softer. This week's episode isn't theory. It's not talk about mediumship—it is mediumship. Courtney sits down with psychic medium and Reiki master Tamarin Martin for a raw, real-time demonstration of evidential mediumship. No vague guesses. No spiritual fluff. Just spirit, truth, and healing through specific, soul-anchored messages.

A dime fell through her dining room table—and everything she thought she knew unraveled. In this deeply human, beautifully unpolished conversation, psychic medium Virginia Belliveau shares the raw, true story of her awakening. From growing up Mormon and hiding her gifts, to the moment Spirit showed up so undeniably it couldn't be explained away, Virginia walks us through the long road from self-doubt to soul-trust.

What You'll Hear: – The dime moment that changed her entire path – How grief and faith deconstruction cracked her open – The early burnout signs no one talks about – Why your nervous system matters more than your next certification – The real reason trusting your intuition feels so hard – How to protect your energy without closing your heart "The minute I hit send to get the dime back, her mom left.

What does it look like to follow Spirit—when you're not ready, not healed, and not sure who you are anymore? In this episode of The Connected Spirit, Courtney sits down with Erica Barretto, a psychic medium and retired NYC law enforcement officer, for a profound conversation on spiritual awakening, illness, and identity. Erica's journey began in the rigidity of a law enforcement career, shaped by religious fear, cultural expectation, and emotional suppression. But when Spirit came knocking—through dreams, synchronicities, and a life-changing brain tumor diagnosis—everything began to unravel. Together, Courtney and Erica explore: The early signs of mediumship (and why Erica ignored them) How chronic illness, grief, and anxiety became gateways to awakening The spiritual and emotional cost of leaving a stable career to walk a soul path Why healing must come before mediumship—and how both continue to evolve The story behind Erica's Self Discovery Oracle Deck, and how it supports her clients today This episode holds a mirror for those in transition, those in fear, and those wondering if it's "too late" to start over.   "You don't need to be perfect to do this work. You show up as you are—and that is enough." - Erica   Resources: Erica's Instagram: @ericabarrettopsychicmedium Erica's website Courtney's Mentorships + Readings: mediumcourtneydawson.com

She never set out to be a psychic—or a forensic consultant working with the FBI. She just knew, deep in her bones: if I don't teach people how to connect, I'll die inside. In this episode, I sit down with Reverend Sheila Marie—a world-recognized forensic medium, spiritual teacher, and former law enforcement officer. From Sunday school teacher to solving cold cases through spirit-led dreams, Sheila's journey is one of deep surrender, spiritual precision, and trust in a power far greater than herself.

You ever feel like the moment you finally stand in your truth, the world hands you a storm? This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at what really happens when you decide to step into your spiritual gifts—when you stop shrinking and start shining. Together with Amy, we share the ache of betrayal, the heaviness of grief, and the inner resilience it takes to stay rooted in your purpose when others project their unhealed wounds onto you. If you've ever felt blindsided by jealousy, shamed for your success, or emotionally exiled by those you once called sisters, this one's for you. It's about grief. Boundaries. Misplaced loyalty. And the hard truth that not everyone can come with you when you rise.

She walked into a spiritualist church at 18—and something deep in her body said, finally. It wasn't a thunderbolt. It wasn't a sign. It was a felt-sense of home. This week, I sit down with Veronica Jenkins—35-year spiritualist, evidential medium, spirit artist, educator, and author—to talk about what happens when Spirit stops being an idea and starts being your compass. We go deep on the philosophy of spiritualism, the unseen labor of serving a church community, and how animal totems can become sacred mirrors for who you are and who you're becoming. She's not here to teach quick tricks. She's here to tell the truth: Mediumship isn't about collecting certificates. It's about becoming someone Spirit can trust.

What happens when psychic readings become a crutch? In this deeply honest conversation, returning guest Rory Walkhom—a spiritual teacher, channel, and mentor with The Medium School—shares the kind of truth that stops you mid-scroll. You'll hear us unpack a very real and often uncomfortable dynamic in the psychic and spiritual world: how repeated readings, while well-intentioned, can slowly disempower the very people they aim to help. Together, we name what's not working, but more importantly, we talk about how to do it better. For clients, for practitioners, and for the integrity of the sacred work. This episode isn't about calling people out. It's about calling us all in—to a way of showing up in this work that actually roots us deeper into our own soul wisdom. You'll hear Rory talk about: What a psychic reading is truly meant for Why discomfort in the unknown doesn't need immediate fixing How to reconnect with your own inner expansion What ethical boundaries look like—for both the reader and the client How to choose a practitioner from a place of alignment, not panic Whether you're a practicing intuitive or someone who turns to readings when life feels uncertain, this one will meet you right where you are. "If we're doing readings again and again for people, we are disempowering them from connecting to their own intuition. That's not healing. That's dependency."- Rory Walkhom Resources & Links: Rory Welcome: @themediumschool on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook Rory's book: 11 Lessons from My Dead Dad — available worldwide on Amazon Free 3-part intuition video training: themediumschool.com Mediumship Certification Training (starting September, application only) Free Masterclass: From Self-Doubt to Surrender (August 27) If this conversation stirred something in you, take a quiet moment.

Heather Bierner didn't come to mediumship empty-handed. She brought years of spiritual seeking, a Christian upbringing she'd long outgrown, and intuitive experiences that hinted at something deeper. She even went to India in search of soul truth. But nothing prepared her for the moment when spirit asked her to let go of everything she thought she needed—and just trust. In this intimate conversation, Heather opens up about her journey inside the Mediumship Mastery Circle: from resisting the unfamiliar to becoming the very tool spirit could work through. What began with photos, structure, and "doing it right" transformed into something far more sacred—real connection, raw trust, and wild moments of evidence that cracked her open. (Yes, "just say ducks" is now a whole thing.) If you've ever doubted your gifts or wondered if you're doing it "right," this episode is your permission to drop the script, soften into your own rhythm, and trust what spirit already knows about you. You're not behind. You're becoming.   Follow Courtney + The Connected Spirit School   📣Join the Mediumship Mastery Circle - 3 Circles.

There's a moment in every medium's journey when Spirit steps in so clearly, so undeniably, that you can't go back to who you were before. For me, it was a warm June night outside a little Spiritualist church—a chance meeting with a man in Spirit that cracked my world wide open. But here's what I learned in the years after: your mediumship doesn't grow in a vacuum. It needs a safe, soul-aligned space to breathe. The wrong circle will leave you doubting yourself. The right one will see you first—before your evidence, before your "performance"—and hold you steady while your gifts find their rhythm. In this episode, I share the story of that first undeniable connection, the hard seasons that followed, and why the right mentor and community are the difference between burnout and deep, joyful connection with the Spirit world. If you've been wondering why your mediumship feels stuck—or why it flowed so effortlessly before you "tried so hard"—this one's for you.   "Mediumship isn't something you chase.

She didn't grow up seeing spirits. She didn't spend years in training. But on her very first try, Tosha Link brought through a piece of evidence so specific—a toaster—that it left no doubt spirit was speaking through her. In this heartfelt conversation, Tosha shares how she went from curious beginner to confident evidential medium in just eight months inside the Connected Spirit Circle. We explore the exact moments that shifted everything for her—why surrender matters, how mentorship and community accelerate growth, and why you don't need years of training to bring through accurate evidence from spirit. If you've ever wondered if you're "gifted enough" to be a medium, this episode will remind you that connection isn't just for a chosen few—it's for anyone willing to show up, practice, and trust the process.   Timestamps: [01:46] – Meet Tosha and her surprising start as a medium [04:10] – The "toaster" evidence that changed everything [07:30] – What it felt like to be thrown right in on her first night [10:21] – How mentorship and community sped up her psychic development [17:34] – The power of surrender in evidential mediumship [21:31] – How peer support builds confidence and trust in spirit [24:16] – Tosha's encouragement to anyone starting their spiritual journey   "Even on your first try, you can connect to spirit and bring through accurate evidence—you just need the right techniques and support."   Follow Courtney + The Connected Spirit School Website Instagram Facebook YouTube

She was a nurse in the ICU, raised Baptist, mothering, wife-ing, surviving—until Spirit began whispering louder.

In this raw, magnetic episode, Ermi shares her journey from a strict Christian upbringing to becoming a deeply Spirit-led psychic medium. Her story weaves through unchurching, ancestral reclamation, and breaking stereotypes as a Black woman in the spiritual space.

There's a moment most of us don't talk about—the quiet, gritty middle of the spiritual path. The part where everything feels heavy, not magical. Where we wonder, "Am I really meant for this?" In today's episode, Courtney shares her raw experience of navigating these shadows: losing friendships, leaving the church, and questioning her path—yet always finding her way back to spirit's quiet power. If you've been feeling weary, unsure, or disconnected, this conversation is your gentle reminder: the waves may feel overwhelming, but the shore is always there. You're not losing the plot.

As a teenager, Kelly Brickell couldn't sleep. Her body was wired, her mind racing, her spirit trying to be heard. What doctors dismissed, she later recognized as the first signs of energetic sensitivity—an invitation into a world of spirit she hadn't yet named. In this soul-deep episode, Kelly opens up about how chronic insomnia cracked open her path into psychic mediumship and numerology. She shares how ancestral gifts were hidden in plain sight, how numbers became her unexpected allies, and why knowing your own energy is the foundation of any true spiritual work. This isn't a how-to—it's a heart-level remembering. You'll leave feeling more connected to your sensitivity, your lineage, and the codes that have been speaking to you all along.

It starts with a whisper—an inner knowing, a quiet tug you can't quite explain. For Connie Gable, it began in childhood with dreams that spoke truths before they happened, and a Tarot reader who came to the house long before it was "normal" to talk about these things out loud. In this episode, I sit down with Connie—nurse practitioner, empath, and one of the radiant souls inside the Mediumship Mastery Circle. At 67, she's proof that it's never too late to trust your calling. That the world of spirit doesn't care about your timeline—it just wants your yes. We talk about what it really means to step into your gifts later in life, the challenges of carrying intuitive knowing inside traditional professions, and how deep mentorship and sacred community can unlock a kind of confidence no class ever could. If you've ever doubted your timing… if you've ever wondered whether it's too late, or too "out there," or too far from where you started—this one's for you. What You'll Hear: How Connie knew she was intuitive—and why she hid it Why support systems matter more than we realize What makes a mediumship circle truly sacred The emotional moment Connie finally said, "I am a medium" Why your path is uniquely yours—and that's your power Quote "I think I can finally say that now—nine months later—I am a medium."   Resources & Links 🔹 Spirit Speaks: A Demonstration of Mediumship - September 13,2025  https://mediumcourtneydawson.com/event/spirit-speaks-a-live-demonstration-of-mediumship/ 🔹 Readings Book Here. https://mediumcourtneydawson.com/services/ 🔹 Classes/Courses/Workshops https://mediumcourtneydawson.com/services/connected-spirit-school/courses/ 🔹 Online + Events In Person Events https://mediumcourtneydawson.com/events/ 🔹 Mediumship Mastery Circle – Waitlist Now Open Step into mastery, refine your readings, and build an in-demand practice.

There's a moment in this episode when Rickie Avitan describes her time in palliative care—watching a soul leave the body—and everything stills. You feel it. The truth of the unseen world isn't something to be proven. It's something to be remembered. In this soul-deep conversation with psychic trance medium and spiritual healer Rickie Avitan, we explore trance as a sacred state of presence, not performance. With decades of experience as a nurse, teacher, and healer, Rickie speaks to the courage it takes to face yourself, layer by layer—and the spiritual clarity that comes when we stop pushing and start surrendering. This is for anyone curious about trance, anyone walking through healing, or anyone who's ever wondered: is spirit really that close?

I used to say, "I'm doing my mediumship on Tuesday." Like it was a thing to fit between laundry and life. And that worked—until it didn't. This episode is personal. Not polished. I talk about how society, religion, even our own fear teaches us to split from our sensitivity—to treat it like a job instead of our nature. And I tell the story I didn't plan to: how the scans showed tumors in both ovaries, how I braced to lose one, and how Spirit reminded me—clear as anything—that we're not separated from our truth. We're just conditioned to forget it. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things and still not feeling connected to your gifts, this is the deeper conversation. The one where we stop performing and start coming home. "Mediumship isn't something you schedule. It's something you live." If this stirred something, don't journal it. Just sit with it. Let it land. And if someone in your world's been second-guessing their own path, pass this along. Sometimes the reminder isn't ours to keep.   Resources & Links Website | Mentorship | Readings: mediumcourtneydawson.com Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Book mentioned: Reflections with Glenn Edwards Upcoming: Spirit Speaks – In Person Demonstration of Mediumship (Sept 13, 2025)  Mediumship Mastery Circle Waitlist for September 2025

You were trained to get the name. The relationship. The cause of death. But if that's where your reading ends, you're missing the part that actually matters. In this episode, Courtney breaks down why evidence is just the entry point—not the purpose—and how to follow Spirit's energy into emotional truth, healing, and connection. Whether you're newly developing or years in, this conversation will reframe your understanding of what real mediumship is for—and how to let the message land with power, depth, and heart.   01:35 – Why identifying the communicator isn't the point of mediumship 04:25 – How emotional truth gets lost when you stay stuck in the facts 07:40 – What Spirit actually wants to say (and why most mediums miss it) 11:10 – When the link shifts or the power drops—what to do 13:55 – Asking Spirit: "Why did you come through?" 16:45 – Why some communicators won't "speak clearly" 19:30 – Reminiscing as evidence—how shared memory brings connection 23:05 – Absorbing energy vs. blending emotionally—how to tell the difference 26:15 – Navigating trauma and difficult messages with integrity 30:00 – Why your psychic senses aren't separate from mediumship 33:10 – Letting go of performance so Spirit can actually lead   Resources: Follow Courtney on Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Explore mentorship, circles, and private sessions at mediumcourtneydawson.com                  Summer with Spirit - 12 week online course Starts June 3                                                             Spirit Led Path - 3 Day In Person Workshop - September 2-4,2025                                            Spirit Speaks- Demonstration of Mediumship - September 13,2025   If you loved this episode.....

You've felt it before… That strange moment where everything aligns and you KNOW Spirit is orchestrating something bigger. You don't know what's coming next… but you know you're not walking alone. In this episode, I sit down with Phil Warder for a raw, real conversation about what happens when Spirit completely blows up your plans and delivers something better. Phil shares the wild, unexpected signs he experienced in November 2023 and again in November 2024, the unexpected teacher who showed up, and the undeniable lessons about surrender, trust, and divine timing. Inside this episode: [00:00] How Spirit connected me + Phil for this conversation [04:15] The November 2023 spiritual experience that cracked everything wide open [10:20] Why the second confirmation in 2024 couldn't be coincidence [15:35] The crazy story of how Phil met his shaman teacher [20:45] Learning to stop forcing and start allowing [28:00] The spiritual lessons Phil received (and how they hit differently than he expected) [35:10] How to know if what you're seeing really IS a sign [39:30] Why surrender is the real path to co-creating with Spirit You'll leave this episode thinking: 👉 Am I over-controlling? 👉 Am I ignoring the signs Spirit keeps sending me? 👉 What would happen if I surrendered instead of trying to force the path?

Mediums, this is for you if.... Spirit is waking you up at night… You're getting bombarded while out running errands… You feel drained after your readings and don't know how to "turn it off"… This is NOT a sign you're "super gifted." It's actually a sign your boundaries with Spirit are leaking. In this solo episode, I break it down for you: 👉 The #1 reason Spirit shows up uninvited 👉 Why "being open 24/7" is not spiritual—it's burnout 👉 The exact way to signal to Spirit when you are (and are NOT) open to connect 👉 How to set boundaries with love without blocking your link If you've been taught you're just supposed to deal with it… I'm here to show you a better way.

In this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast, I sit down with my student Julia DeGroat — a naturally intuitive woman who always felt Spirit but didn't know how to fully trust what she was receiving. After a spiritual reawakening during pregnancy, followed by a powerful sitting-in-the-power experience that both opened and overwhelmed her, Julia decided it was time to stop developing alone. She joined one of my circles. Showed up. Practiced. And in just six months? She gave her first professional evidential reading — confidently. Her story is going to remind you that your timeline is sacred. And you don't have to do it alone.   🎧 Inside this episode, you'll hear: 02:10 – Julia's early signs of sensitivity (and how pregnancy reawakened her mediumship) 06:34 – The sitting-in-the-power experience that cracked her open 09:50 – What it was like to move from self-study into a guided mentorship circle 12:10 – Building confidence through practice, support, and surrender 17:25 – How she moved through fear, imposter syndrome, and energetic vulnerability 22:12 – The power of community when you're tired of figuring it out alone 26:40 – What surprised her most about giving public readings for strangers 30:50 – Why it's not about being "born gifted"—it's about trust, practice, and support 35:15 – Julia's message to anyone afraid they're not good enough to do this work   ✨ This episode is for the psychic medium who: Feels isolated or unsure how to move forward Has been reading books, listening to podcasts, but still second-guesses Spirit Craves community, guidance, and a space to grow without ego or pressure Wants to feel confident, clear, and connected — in their gifts and themselves   You're not behind. You're not broken. And you're definitely not making it up. You're unfolding — just like Julia. Just like every real-deal medium who said yes to Spirit before they felt "ready." 🎧 Tune in now to hear her journey — and if this speaks to your soul, come see what we're building inside the Mediumship Mastery Circle.   Resources: 🔹 Follow Courtney on Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson 🔹 Explore mentorship, circles, and private sessions at mediumcourtneydawson.com                🔹 From Heaven with Love - Demonstration of Mediumship Fundraising Event - May 18            🔹 Join Summer with Spirit - 12 week online course Starts June 3   If this stirred something inside you...

You don't need another certification to feel ready. You need to remember who you already are. In this honest, soul-deep conversation, I'm joined by medium, trance healer, and poet Jennifer Rose to talk about what happens when your spiritual development becomes more about doing than being. We dive into what it actually looks like to step off the hamster wheel of "more classes, more training, more proof"—and drop into trust, integration, and real inner confidence. This episode isn't about doing more. It's about letting what you've already learned settle in—and lead you forward.    Inside this conversation, you'll hear: ✨ What to do when your growth turns into spiritual over-efforting ✨ How to shift from performance into presence in your mediumship ✨ Why integration (not more training) is the turning point for most mediums ✨ What "we are Spirit too" actually means—and how it changes everything   You're not here to constantly prove your gifts. You're here to remember that Spirit already lives in you. 🎧 Press play and come join this grounded, Spirit-led conversation.   Connect with Jennifer Rose Website.   www.mediumjenniferrose.com.
