Medium Curious: Spirit, Signs & Intuition Tips for Curious Seekers

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.

Ep 32: MEDIUM Vibe Chris Dingman is a vibraphonist who shares his journey into music, the transformative power of sound, how he became a music channeller, and even how he found mediumship. He discusses the unique qualities of the vibraphone, his experiences with grief, and how he uses music as a healing tool. The conversation also delves into his Bardo Bath events and the profound sound and color experiences that Sarah experienced while experiencing his Transformation event. The crew discusses spiritual experiences that inspire creativity and the importance of curiosity in understanding one's mediumistic abilities. Chris talks about how he channels music and ultimately explains why he loves playing music so much: the thrill of exploring the unknown in music creation.  Takeaways Transformational music sessions are designed for healing and reflection. Grief can manifest in many forms and deserves space for processing. Sound can create a liminal space for transcendence. Mediumship can be explored through music and personal experiences. The work of mediumship can be healing for both the practitioner and the recipient. Curiosity drives personal growth and understanding in mediumship. The journey of creation is often more valuable than the final product. Community plays a vital role in artistic endeavors. Exploration in music can lead to unexpected paths Sound Bites from Chris "I started seeing spirits while playing music." "The work heals you." "It's about the journey, not the product."   Musical excerpts:   Journey’s v.1 by Chris Dingman Mbira music-Svikiro: Meditations of an Mbira Master Chris Dingman @Dingmanvibes Support the Podcast and check out Patreon Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane’s Website: Jane Morgan Medium  Sarah’s Website: Sarah Rathke Podcast Instagram: MediumCuriousPod (@mediumcuriouspod)  Podcast Tiktok: MediumCuriousPod (@theREAL_mediumcurious)  If you enjoyed this episode of Medium Curious, please Download, Rate, Review, Share \ and Subscribe to our podcast.

HOLIDAY RE-RELEASE 🎁 We’re taking a short holiday pause, but we couldn’t resist bringing back one of our all-time favorite conversations. Originally released in Season Two, this episode features the incredible Jamie Butler who has played a meaningful role in Jane’s mediumship journey — and whose work continues to beautifully normalize intuitive and spiritual abilities. If you’re discovering this conversation for the first time, welcome. And if you’re returning, there’s so much here that’s worth a second (or third) listen. Jane has a full fangirl moment at the top of this episode — and honestly, it’s deserved. In this conversation, Jane and Sarah are joined by Jamie Butler, widely known as The Everyday Medium, but she's so dang extraordinary. Jamie walks us through her path from being a naturally gifted medium as a child to fully embracing her calling as a teacher, which she describes as her true passion. Together, they explore why normalizing mediumship and intuitive abilities is essential — and why trusting your own lived experiences with intuition and spirit matters more than chasing someone else’s definition of “how it should work.” The conversation dives deep into trance channeling, including what it actually is, the different levels of channeling (yes, including incorporation), and why most people have already experienced channeling in everyday life — even if they’ve never called it that. Jamie breaks down how she teaches others to enter a trance state safely, consciously, and with clear boundaries. Jamie and Sarah also connect on the importance of belief systems, self-care, and energetic boundaries — emphasizing that intuition doesn’t require burnout, sacrifice, or pushing past your nervous system’s limits. Grounded, expansive, and reassuring, this episode is an invitation to see mediumship not as something rare or “other,” but as a natural human ability that shows up in everyday moments — if we’re willing to trust it. 🌟 Memorable Quotes “My passion is teaching. Watching people wake up and have their light come online — it’s like no other feeling.” — Jamie Butler “Using your intuitive ability is natural and can be applied in everyday decision-making.” — Jamie Butler “What you believe in is your own truth, and knowledge is your only limit.” — Jamie Butler 🔗 Links & Resources Medium Curious Website: https://www.mediumcurious.com Jane’s Website: https://www.janemorganmedium.com Sarah’s Website: https://www.sarahrathke.com Jamie Butler’s Website: https://www.jamiebutlermedium.com Jamie's classes mentioned in the break: https://jamiebutlermedium.com/classes/ Clair club Winter Edition!

🎄 Holiday Re-Release Actor Kim Rhodes (Supernatural, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) joins Medium Curious to talk about intuition, mediumship, psychic experiences, and what it really means to be alive. While the Medium Curious gals take a short holiday pause, we’re thrilled to bring back one of our most beloved conversations from Season One — originally released on March 6, 2024. In this episode, Sarah and Jane sit down with longtime friend, actor, and truth-teller Kim Rhodes for a candid, funny, and deeply grounding conversation about spirituality without the fluff. Kim explores whether mediumship is actually supernatural at all, or simply a natural part of the human experience — and shares wild, heartfelt stories from her own intuitive life along the way. Expect laughter, honesty, and more than a few truth bombs (delivered in classic Kim Rhodes style). From light waves and Akashic Records to sobriety, joy, and the full spectrum of being human, this episode is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t mean transcending life — it means fully inhabiting it. This conversation is so fun thanks to Kim’s infectious energy and grounded wisdom shining through as she reminds us that to be alive is to love. ✨ Episode Highlights Why mediumship may be natural rather than supernatural Pain and suffering as catalysts for growth Everyone’s innate capacity for intuition What it means to be a “light wave” Kim’s first experiences communicating with the dead Her soul’s purpose (per the Akashic Records): JOY Why sobriety and spiritual growth don’t exempt us from being human 💬 Memorable Quotes “I am convinced love exists and is running the show…” — Kim Rhodes “Our brain is our calendar — it gets us from Point A to Point B — but living from the heart is where it’s at.” — Sarah Rathke “We are lucky to be on this earth.” — Jane Morgan 🔗 Links & Resources Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

In this final Sunday Solo episode of the year, Jane Morgan reflects on the beliefs we inherit, absorb, and unknowingly allow to run our inner operating systems—long after they’ve stopped serving us. Through a deeply personal story from her own therapeutic and spiritual work, Jane explores how mistaken beliefs can calcify into powerful internal rules that shape our reactions, relationships, intuition, and sense of safety. She shares a profound moment of insight around a core belief she discovered—that being “wrong” meant danger—and how, with support, she was able to release it. This episode is an invitation to slow down during the holiday season, take a compassionate look at the stories guiding your life, and gently ask: Is this belief still true? Rather than offering fixes or formulas, Jane encourages curiosity, softness, and self-trust—especially when listening to intuition feels harder than pleasing others. With reflections on meditation, two-way prayer, intuition, inner child work, and honoring your own “no,” this episode is a warm fireside companion for the darker days leading up to the solstice. As Medium Curious heads into a short winter break, Jane also shares what’s coming in the new year—including exciting guests, a new round of Clair Club, and an upcoming Higher Calling cohort.   ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: How mistaken beliefs form—and why they often feel impossible to remove A personal story of uncovering a deeply embedded belief around being “wrong” Why many beliefs once protected us, even if they now create suffering How moments of emotional upset can point to hidden belief systems The idea of “snapshotting” reactions to gently investigate what’s underneath How meditation, intuition, and spiritual support can reveal stuck stories Using two-way prayer or intuitive writing to access inner guidance Trusting your intuition—even when it disappoints others Why honoring yourself isn’t selfish (and may be long overdue) 🕯️ Reflection Questions for Listeners What belief might be quietly running my life right now? Where did this story come from—and is it still true? What belief once kept me safe, but now feels heavy or outdated? What might happen if I held this belief more lightly? 🌙 Resources & Mentions Medium Curious Podcast Elizabeth Gilbert’s Letters from Love (two-way prayer practice) Reflections on intuition, guides, angels, and spiritual support Perdita Finn episode (referenced earlier in the season) 🌟 What’s Coming Up Clair Club (starting mid-January): A six-week intuitive development experience with brand-new exercises and community connection. 🎁 Giveaway alert!

Lauren Robertson—evidential medium since age 16 and author of The Medium in Manolos—returns to talk about what it really takes to do public demonstrations of mediumship (“platform mediumship”). She shares why confidence is built through exposure, how to reframe anxiety into excitement, and how platform work differs from 1:1 readings (snappier evidence, more communal impact, and clear energy management). Lauren also opens up about skeptics, the role of inner work in becoming a stronger medium, and why ethical compensation matters—especially to prevent burnout and exploitation. The episode closes with Lauren’s core advice: be yourself, because platform mediumship isn’t performance—it’s sacred service. Confidence comes from exposure, not perfection. The fastest way through the fear is repeating the experience until your nervous system learns it’s safe. Reframe nerves as excitement. Anxiety often shows up when you add pressure about how you’ll look or whether you’ll “mess it up.” Platform mediumship is different from 1:1 readings. Public demos need quick, clear, evidential messages that lift the whole room—whether or not everyone gets read. Use “communal evidence,” especially objects. Describing an object someone has in their bag/pocket can create a shared moment of awe for the entire audience. Stop people-pleasing; start energy management. You’re not there to make everyone happy—you’re a channel for Spirit, and the audience is part of the energetic circuit. Call out skeptics with vulnerability. Naming what they might be thinking can disarm defensiveness and lower the emotional temperature in the room. Inner work strengthens mediumship. Healing shame, old beliefs, trauma, and people-pleasing patterns can directly improve courage, clarity, and stamina on the platform. Money + mediumship can be ethical and sacred. Fair compensation helps mediums stay resourced, confident, and less vulnerable to exploitation—while still leaving room to serve for free at times. Mediumship may be a spectrum. Like any skill, people vary in openness, compassion, creativity—and the role mediumship plays can still be meaningful even if someone isn’t meant to demonstrate publicly.   “When we feel anxious or nervous… what we actually really feel is excited.” “The audience… they are a battery, they are an energy source…” “You are not there to please anybody. You are there as a mouthpiece… of the spirit world.” “You should be able to step away from the platform feeling energised…” “Mediumship isn’t a performance, it’s a sacred calling.” Lauren Robertson – Course: Platform Perfection: Listener discount 10% off with code MEDIUM at checkout Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

FALL RE-RELEASE: We’ve been talking about Perdita Finn nonstop lately… so we’re bringing back one of our most beloved conversations. Originally released 11/6/2024, this episode remains a listener favorite for a reason. ~~~ Perdita Finn — author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World — teaches that “every day is the day of the dead.” In this super fun and surprising conversation, she shows us what it really means to collaborate with the dead, call in our ancestors, and receive help from the unseen world. Perdita shares stories about her father, the healing that unfolded after his passing, and how the dead can strengthen our intuition, guide our creativity, and walk beside us in everyday life. We explore signs, synchronicities, ancestral amends, the spirituality within 12-step programs, and the deeper story of our souls.

In this deeply personal Sunday solo, Jane shares the story of her beloved Domino’s sudden passing — and the extraordinary signs he sent from the other side. For long-time listeners, Domino has always been “one of the dogs under the desk,” a constant companion in the Medium Curious studio. This week, Jane opens up about his transition, the stunning validations that came through a trusted animal communicator, and the powerful reminders our pets offer us about love, grief, and what happens when they leave their bodies. Jane shares: How her journey with animal communication began The wild, specific evidence that first proved to her that pets absolutely communicate What Domino expressed about his transition in real time The moment she asked him, “What will your sign be?” How rainbows, and “Kiko” — showed up instantly Incredible synchronicities involving Guatemala, where Domino was born How her other dog, Kalea, responded (and what she said telepathically!) Why animals say humans “have death all wrong” And why pets are actually grief specialists If you’re grieving a beloved pet, or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of comfort, magic, and hope.

In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn’t arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father’s apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure.   Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you’re waiting for fireworks, you’ll miss the “pops.” Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language. Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment. Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn’t obey ceilings). Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades. Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner). Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.” Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language.   “Expectation kills openness.”   “For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.”   Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

In this soul-nourishing episode of The Medium Curious Podcast, Jane Morgan and Sarah Rathke take a closer look at why the holidays can feel like the most wonderful—and emotionally overloaded—time of the year. From grief and memory, to energetic protection, to psychic boundaries, to the simple magic of ping pong joy, this conversation is packed with grounded spiritual wisdom and relatable holiday humanity. Jane and Sarah open up about navigating family expectations, staying in your lane, and protecting your emotional bubble while still feeling connected, compassionate, and present. They share intimate stories of loved ones on the other side—from train layouts to beloved table settings to spontaneous songs from spirit—as they illustrate just how real, tender, and accessible mediumship can be during this time of year. Listeners will learn practical strategies for staying sane and soulful through the season: setting your emotional temperature using “invisibility cloaks” and “processing filters” for psychic privacy grounding through sensory presence practicing gratitude that actually works and yes… joy farming through ping pong.   If you’ve ever felt holiday pressure, grief, sensitivity, or emotional overload, this episode will meet you exactly where you are—with humor, heart, and sparkles (literally).   “Even if you lost someone a long time ago, it's still in there. It still rides through the holidays.” — Jane “Our thoughts are powerful.

What if the “zone” that athletes and musicians talk about is the same state that lets mediums connect with Spirit? In this solo episode, Sarah dives into flow state—that feeling of being locked in, tuned up, and fully present—and explores how it opens the door to intuition, higher consciousness, and mediumship. Drawing on her background as a professional musician, Sarah breaks down what flow feels like in the body, why it seems to bend time, and how that sweet spot of focus + ease raises your vibration enough to hear, sense, and feel Spirit more clearly. In this episode, Sarah unpacks: What “flow state” actually is (beyond the buzzword) How being in the zone helps you tune into your intuition and Spirit Why overthinking kicks you out of flow—and what to do instead Simple practices to slip into flow more often in everyday life How to use creativity, play, and presence as a bridge to the other side If you’ve ever felt “on a roll” creatively, lost track of time doing something you love, or wondered how to quiet your mind enough to connect with Spirit, this episode is your invitation to start treating flow as a doorway—not just a nice feeling. ✨ You don’t have to force your connection with Spirit. You just have to find your way into the zone. “You have to believe that it’s possible to connect to the other side. You have to believe that you’re feeling energy, that you’re sensing energy.” “We are not meant to be in flow all the time, because then our flow doesn’t change and it doesn’t evolve.” “Notice when you’re in flow. I guarantee it has something to do with being in the present moment and appreciating how good you are at doing what brings you joy.”  Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s seven conditions for flow Drexel University study on creative flow, Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

Actor Kale Browne has lived many lives in one: beloved soap star on Another World, One Life to Live, and Days of Our Lives; voice actor; long-time meditator; 40+ years sober; and now a death doula who quietly walks people and families through the threshold. In this episode of Medium Curious, Sarah and Jane talk with Kale about the intuitive thread that’s run through his whole life—from “Kale moments” as a kid (just knowing things) to powerful past-life flashes in places like Tulum, to training in remote viewing at the Stanford Research Institute with Russell Targ, and mediumship intensives with James Van Praagh, Kripalu, and Omega. Kale shares how sobriety ripped him “wide open,” what it’s like to feel the “psychic weather” around a reading, and why he’s more interested in service than in putting out a mediumship shingle. He breaks down remote viewing in plain language, talks about Edgar Cayce, telepathy, and the “informational layer” of consciousness, and explains why he believes “life has no opposite.” This conversation is funny, grounded, and deeply tender—especially when Spirit crashes the party with a perfectly timed Camel cigarette reference from Jane’s dad. If you’ve ever wondered whether your own strange experiences “count,” Kale’s stories will help you feel less alone and a lot more normal.   Intuition has been there all along. Kale grew up with “Kale moments”—downloads, knowings, and sensations that other people didn’t seem to have. For him, mediumship isn’t a new gift; it’s language for what was already happening. Sobriety can blow the doors open. When he got sober in New York, Kale felt “ripped wide open”—knowing who was calling, which subway was coming, and what someone would say next. Alcohol used to dull the signals; removing it amplified them. Remote viewing is real (and trainable). At Omega, Kale studied with Russell Targ and Stephen Schwartz, learning protocols used in U.S. “psychic spy” programs. Remote viewing isn’t about guessing “what’s in the bag,” it’s about describing qualities, sensations, and impressions without letting the mind fill in the blanks. There’s an informational layer in consciousness. Drawing on quantum physics, telepathy research, and Edgar Cayce, Kale describes a non-local “information layer”—a vibrational wavelength we can tune into, like a radio station. Life has no opposite. In his work as a death doula, Kale sees death as a change in density, not an ending: the body slows down, the rest of us speeds up. His job is as much about supporting the living—families and loved ones—as it is about honoring the one who’s crossing. Psychic weather is real. Readings aren’t just about the medium—there are energetic conditions, emotional states, and external “weather” that affect clarity and accuracy. Words are reductive; experience is bigger. Like trying to describe a dream, putting mystical experiences into language shrinks them. That’s why so many intuitives and experiencers feel misunderstood—or dismissed—when they finally share. We’re here to normalize the weird. Kale, Sarah, and Jane all care about making mediumship, telepathy, and past-life flashes feel human and accessible, not fringe or freaky. The more we talk about it, the less alone people feel. “Sometimes the hardest thing to explain is how you see something without seeing it.” – Kale “Life has no opposite. Life continues. The body slows down, the rest of us speeds up.” – Kale “Words have a very reductive quality… as soon as you start to verbalize a dream, it starts to fade.” – Kale “You can’t explain to a three-dimensional mind what a fourth-dimensional experience is like.” – Kale (on Edgar Cayce) “We see through the filter that we expect.” – Kale “Intuition is going to get broader. The veil between this side and the other side is getting thinner, I think.” – Kale   Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

In this enchanted, electric episode 65 of Medium Curious, Sarah and Jane sit down with Zaneta Sykes—interdisciplinary sound artist, spirit medium, and creator of Art Witch and Invitations from the Land—for a journey into what it really means to be in relationship with the living world. Zaneta shares how bullying pushed them away from drums and into science… until a clear, external voice at a jam session said, “Go to music school.” That single piece of guidance rerouted everything—ultimately weaving together percussion, environmental science, psychic work, and spirit mediumship into one luminous, decolonial, more-than-human path. They walk us through encounters that feel like myth but land like proof: a dream of a giant white fox, a real-life meeting with an Eastern coyote, barred owls arriving on cue, an aunt in spirit validated by banana pudding and horn-rimmed glasses, and a land conservancy “randomly” inviting Zaneta to create a full forest soundscape project. Along the way, they unpack mediumship as relationship, witch as wise listener, and why the Earth herself is calling more of us to become bridges. This conversation is wild, grounded, funny, reverent, glitchy (hi, energy surge), and full-body-truth level inspiring. Key Takeaways Mediumship is relationship, not performance. It’s an ongoing, two-way conversation with ancestors, spirits of place, animals, elements, and the unseen. The Earth is calling mediums. Zaneta shares guidance from the woods: mediumship is how we remember ourselves as nature and undo the illusion of separation. Signs are specific, not vague. Banana pudding, iconic glasses, perfectly-timed owls—clear, weird details help us trust what comes through. Your path can be multimodal. Music, science, magic, ancestry, and activism don’t have to compete; they braid into a single, truthful life. Reverence is a practice. Singing to forests, rivers, and beings of place is less aesthetics, more consent, respect, and genuine reciprocity. Not every spirit (or human) gets access. Discernment matters. You don’t have to call in everyone, every time. Slow is holy. Returning to the same land again and again—listening instead of extracting—is medicine in a culture obsessed with speed and productivity. “Witch” is reclamation. For Zaneta, it honors persecuted healers, matriarchs, and wisdom keepers, and names power as interconnectedness, not domination. Mediumship expands capacity. As Sarah offers, connecting with Spirit stretches what we can hold—and gives others permission to expand too. “Mediumship is not a trick. It’s a relationship.” “The Earth is calling people to be mediums—so we remember we are nature, not separate from it.” “Not every being wants to be called in. Consent exists in the spirit world, too.” “Witch, to me, is someone willing to address the suffering of the world with sacred, grounded care.” “Power isn’t something we own. It’s something that moves through all of us when we’re listening.” Music courtesy of Chris Dingman Sound art courtesy of Zaneta: Sound Art Magic Art Witch Podcast Sound Art Magic Instagram Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this real—or am I making it up?” this episode hands the mic back to you. In this Sunday Solo, Sarah gets real about the moment everything shifted: realizing she didn’t need science, church, or anyone else’s approval to trust the magic happening in her own life. She shares how launching Medium Curious cracked her wide open, why stories from “normal” people carry as much weight as any lab study, and how your most intimate spiritual experiences—signs, dreams, channeling, synchronicities—are not random. They’re your language with Spirit. From being rocked open at  Bobby McFerrin’s Circlesongs in Berkeley, to octopus signs from a little boy in spirit, to a powerful guided writing message that clearly did not come from her everyday voice, Sarah invites you to stop waiting for outside validation and start honoring what you already feel. This is your permission-slip to explore, play, listen deeper, and trust that your experience counts. Your experiences are evidence. You don’t need a PhD or a pulpit to validate your spiritual life; your direct encounters count. Stories shift shame. Hearing other people’s mediumship, NDE, and sign stories normalizes sensitivity and dissolves the “I’m crazy” narrative. Mystery is sacred. The unknown isn’t a problem to solve; it’s a holy space to inhabit, explore, and enjoy. No one has the final word. Anyone claiming to know exactly how the other side works? Red flag. This path is personal, evolving, and multi-layered. Signs are love notes. Repeating symbols (like Sarah’s octopus kiddo) can be an ongoing conversation between worlds—especially comforting in grief. Guided writing is a portal. Simple channeled writing practices can open surprising wisdom that feels beyond your everyday mind. You’re allowed to explore. You don’t need permission—from religion, science, family, or partners—to follow what feels true, kind, and expansive to your spirit. “You don’t need an expert to tell you your own experiences are real.” “The mystery is sacred. If we try to nail it down, we miss the magic.” “When a holy man hears voices, he’s a prophet. When a woman does, she’s a witch. Let’s talk about that.” “Nobody knows for sure how any of this works—and that’s the beauty of it.” “Try guided writing, close the notebook, and read it the next day. You’ll realize… that wasn’t just you.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).   Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious   Jane’s Website: Jane Morgan Medium    Sarah’s Website: Sarah Rathke   Podcast Instagram: @MediumCuriousPod   YouTube: @mediumcurious VerySoul.com   If this episode helped, follow/subscribe, download, rate & review, and share with a friend.

“Your team of light is 24/7. Invitation is the on-switch.” In this playful, grounded convo, Jane and Sarah explore how intuition and spirit guides actually work in real life—no pedestal, no gatekeeping. From discerning inner noise vs. guidance, to creating a “secret garden” meeting place, to asking for divine and sacred support, they share stories, exercises, and synchronicities (hello, 444) that make guidance feel natural. You’ll hear about shamanic journeying, channeled writing, two-way prayer, and why names aren’t the point—relationship is. Expect joy, evidence, and practical steps to build trust with your team of light.   Major takeaways Guidance ≈ intuition amplified: your guides often speak through your intuitive channel. Discernment matters: notice the difference between old mental “tapes,” fear, and the clear, kind, neutral tone of guidance. Names aren’t required: labels help humans, but the relationship + resonance are what count. Ask for divine and sacred support: specificity raises signal quality; you can even verify by asking, “Are you divine and sacred?” Free will is real: guides rarely intervene unless invited—ask for help clearly and often. Build a meeting place: Jane’s “secret garden/spring” visualization (or your version) creates a stable portal for guidance. Practice = proof: little exercises (who’s calling? how many will show up?) strengthen trust before the big moments. Presence is a superpower: gratitude + body awareness tune your antenna to signs and synchronicities. Loved ones can be “guardians”: beautiful support, and when doing healing/skill work, call in the specialists. Try two-way prayer & channeled writing: ask a question (“Dear Love, what would you have me know today?”) then receive.   “Guidance is often the same voice as intuition—just clearer and kinder.” “Ask for divine and sacred help, and then ask, ‘Are you divine and sacred?’ Truth can’t lie.” “I don’t need a guide’s name to feel the guidance—the relationship is the point.” “Free will means they won’t drive your bus unless you hand them the keys.” “Presence is the portal. Gratitude is the tuning fork.”   WTF Just Happened  (Liz Entin's podcast) - Karen Doherty  Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

In this first solo episode experiment - Jane Morgan of Medium Curious explores her relationship to the Day of the Dead, the significance of Dia de los Muertos, (even if she can’t properly pronounce it)  and offers some ways to relate to this day in this pretty darn challenging time.  She discusses the importance of inviting the presence of those who have passed, and how this practice can bring comfort and connection. Jane also shares thoughts from Perdita Finn's Substack emphasizing that every day can be a day to celebrate the dead. The episode concludes with a fun giveaway announcement and a call to listeners to engage with the podcast community. Takeaways: Dia de los Muertos invites us to celebrate and connect with our ancestors. Every day can be a day to honor the dead, not just November 1st and 2nd. Creating altars with personal items can invite loved ones' presence. Perdita Finn emphasizes devotion to the dead in her writings. Mediumship is a journey of discovering one's connection to the other side. The dead offer perspective, clarity, and love to the living. We are deeply loved by our ancestors, who send us signs and support. The Day of the Dead reminds us to see and accept synchronicities. Perdita Finn's new book explores themes of magic and divine connection. Listeners are encouraged to participate in a podcast giveaway. Sound bites: "Every day is the day of the dead."

“I speak ‘corporate’ and ‘angel’—KPIs by day, Archangel Michael on speed dial.”   Catherine Mulligan—corporate executive by day, intuitive by design—joins Jane and Sarah to talk angels, guides, and the very practical side of “woo.” From a childhood rescue by her guardian angel to supporting colleagues through illness, Catherine shows how Spirit fits inside a KPI-driven life (and how boundaries make the magic sustainable). We meet Maggie, the delight-powered “joy guide,” learn the Champagne Tower of Light visualization, and unpack energy hygiene that’s as routine as brushing your teeth. Catherine shares the origin story of her weekly Rosary Club (open to all traditions), why doubt is a precipice on the way to God (thanks, Rumi), and how to keep your field clear, your service high, and your ego humble. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust your guidance, set better spiritual “hygiene,” or pray for real-world results—this one’s your lighthouse.   Intuition scales everywhere. Spirit fits beautifully inside a KPI world when you set intention, boundaries, and personal responsibility. Medium vs. Intuitive. Catherine works a wider “radio dial”—angels, guides, and loved ones—especially for life crossroads and clearing. Trust is a muscle. Doubt isn’t failure; it’s training. (“Doubt is a precipice on the way to God.”) Energy hygiene = daily habit. Ground, clear, protect—like brushing teeth. Golden hula-hoop, violet flame, and “disco-ball bubble” all help. Champagne Tower of Light. Invite Source light into every cell, overflow, and clear what’s not for the highest good—30 seconds to 30 minutes. Boundaries are love. Compassion ≠ carrying. Don’t take on what isn’t yours; say yes only to highest-good work. Pray like a human, receive like a saint. Rosary Club is open to all (not just Catholics); nothing is too big or too small to bring. Ask for signs. Songs, buses with wolves, license plates—clear, specific, playful confirmations arrive when you ask. Keep the vibe high. Gratitude and intention stabilize your field so low-grade energy can’t “hook” in public or at work. DPS: Divine Positioning System. Everything can point you back to God/Love; discernment keeps you out of spiritual “war” and in spiritual skill.   “Doubt is not a detour; it’s the precipice that leads you closer.” “Energy hygiene is non-negotiable. You wouldn’t skip brushing your teeth; don’t skip clearing your field.” “Compassion doesn’t mean carrying. Boundaries are holy.” “God is either everything or nothing—so let every moment point you back to love.” “Ask for a sign. Spirit loves a clear brief.”   Catherine’s Rosary Club Instagram Druid Rising Catherine Mulligan Way of the Rose by Clark Strand & Perdita Finn 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.

Just Sarah and Jane today—two “small mediums at large”—jamming on what they call the frequency of love: how to attune to it, why it’s a reliable “operator line” to Spirit, and what it looks like in ordinary life (yes, even at Costco 😄). They unpack Abraham-Hicks’ emotional scale as a compassionate ladder, swap stories about grief, breathwork, and art that cracks the heart open (hello, Water Lilies), and share a vivid image of the “eye of the hurricane” as the eternal present. Expect grounded tools—box breathing, somatic check-ins, “WWLD” moments—plus reflections on creativity, protest, prayer, receiving love, and why being in a body is both the veil and the gift. Finally, these two look at nuance over extremes. We all need to learn how to hold paradox: allow holy anger without abandoning love as the power source. Love is a frequency you can tune to. Treat it like a channel on the dial; it’s the place Sarah and Jane meet Spirit. You don’t have to leap from fear to bliss. Abraham-Hicks’ 22-step emotional scale is a ladder—move one rung at a time with compassion. Presence = peace. Visualize the eye of the hurricane: step into the calm center (the eternal present) when the world spins. The body is the veil—and the doorway. Somatic awareness (jaw, shoulders, breath) helps you return to safety and openness. Breath changes state fast. Try box breathing (4-4-4-4) or 5-7 exhales to cue the nervous system back to calm. Art & music unlock emotion. Let beauty move what words can’t—Brahms, Mahler, or a single Monet can crack you open. WWLD: What Would Love Do (next)? Micro-choices shift rooms, checkout lines, and conversations—beam love and notice who smiles back. Receiving is a practice. Worthiness opens the door; synchronicities are love notes that train you to accept more. Prayer & meditation matter. Intentioned group focus (“love festivals”) can soften the edges of collective pain. We’re not clinicians. Artists with tools, not prescriptions—take what resonates, leave the rest. Community carries. When one of us wobbles, circles of care (friends, guides, art) help us find center again.   “Love is a frequency. It’s our operator line to Spirit.” “You don’t have to jump from discouragement to bliss—just climb one rung.” “The body is the veil—and also the doorway back to oneness.” “Receiving love starts with worthiness—synchronicity is the training ground.” Abraham-Hicks, Ask and It Is Given (the 22-step emotional scale) Wayne Dyer clips/teachings (on allowing and becoming) Breath practices: box breathing (4-4-4-4), extended exhale (inhale 5, exhale 7) Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

“There are no barriers to telepathy—living or in spirit. Only the limits we place on reality.” —Nikki Nikki Vasconez shares how a single session with her anxious pup “Havoc” (now Merlin) cracked open her intuitive gifts—and launched a thriving animal communication and teaching practice. Jane and Sarah have so much fun getting the scoop on animal attitude in this episode! Nikki explains why names matter, how animals are keen observers with strong opinions, and why the nervous system is the real gateway to clearer telepathy. She offers unforgettable stories: a cat whose mystery illness was a hidden tooth abscess, a dog whose “job” solved separation anxiety, and pets in spirit who still make their presence known (hello, butt-cheek poke). We also talk about phone addiction, present-moment living, and why anyone can learn to communicate—if they slow down, listen, and drop expectations.   You don’t need to be “born gifted.” Telepathy is innate and trainable with practice and nervous-system regulation. Names carry energy. Renaming “Havoc” to Merlin transformed his anxiety and demeanor. Animals notice everything. They’re aware, opinionated, and often just need to be understood, not “fixed.” Ask “why,” not “stop.” Understanding the reason behind a behavior (e.g., needing a job) can resolve issues like separation anxiety. Health hits can be specific. Animals may point to precise issues (e.g., a single infected tooth) that vets can confirm. Spirit communication continues. Pets in spirit often send tactile or environmental signs—and feel as clear as living animals. Humans add static. Constantly retelling a rescue’s trauma can keep them (and us) stuck; emphasize the present moment. Self-care = clearer channel. Less phone time, more calm, and simple rituals improve reception and trust.   “I don’t know anything, and anything is possible.” — Nikki “Animals are so aware—and with awareness comes opinions!” — Nikki “There are no barriers to telepathy—living or in spirit.
