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.

Trying to make sense of everything? Same. In this episode, Sarah explores the ripple effect—how everything is interconnected in the 3D world, and how that connection extends into the unseen world, too. She looks at why collective stress doesn’t stay localized (climate, economies, the internet, COVID—pick your portal), why synchronicities can feel like the “matrix is thin,” and how spirit communication reminds us that relationship doesn’t end when someone dies. Then Sarah shares her personal practice for anchoring the light: a grounding + “as above, so below” visualization designed to help regulate the nervous system, expand the capacity for love, and hold the field with intention—without draining personal energy. And to be clear: this isn’t spiritual bypassing. Action, accountability, and engagement still matter. The question is—can it all be done from radical love instead of fear? Key Words anchoring the light, hold the field, nervous system regulation, spiritual grounding practice, intuition in chaotic times, collective consciousness, Maharishi effect, synchronicities, spirit communication, energy protection visualization, radical love not fear, Medium Curious Podcast, Sarah Sunday Solo Your nervous system is part of the medicine. Regulation increases capacity—for awareness, compassion, and effective action. Interconnection is not a concept—it’s a lived reality. What happens anywhere ripples everywhere: biologically, economically, emotionally, and energetically. Fear creates separation; felt connection restores power. When we identify as separate, we become reactive. When we feel connected, we reclaim sovereignty Healing spreads the same way harm does. One regulated person can stabilize a household; one steady household can shift a community. Anchor the light without draining yourself. Pull support from earth energy below and divine light above—don’t run everything on personal willpower. Action still matters. Love isn’t “do nothing.” Love is the frequency you bring while you engage, organize, protect, document, and show up.   “When we’re calibrated, we have the capacity for more… more awareness, more light, more compassion, more love.”   “It’s not just the fact that he is communicating from the other side. It’s about interconnection.”   “We need action and we need engagement… We just need to be doing it from the frequency of radical love and not fear.”   Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Actor and meditation teacher Jeff Kober joins Medium Curious for a wide-ranging, funny, and helpful conversation about the mystery: why trying to force “concrete truth” can make our world smaller and more painful—and how learning to live in the question can reopen hope, possibility, and compassion. Jeff shares his origin story as a “reluctant meditator,” describing the inner hell of obsessive thoughts, the surprise of discovering he’s not his mind, and why spiritual practice isn’t about escaping life—it’s about imbuing each moment with consciousness, including grief, fear, anger, shame, and joy. Along the way - Sarah, Jane, and Jeff explore ego, “knowers,” skepticism and mediumship, creativity as a spiritual path (acting, directing, orchestral music), and what it means to be an example of love without pretending you’ve “got it.” The “concrete truth” trap: When someone’s certainty becomes unassailable, real conversation ends—and so does growth. Live in the question: Not having the answers isn’t failure; it can be the practice. Meditation creates space: Jeff describes the shift from “my thoughts are me” to “my thoughts are over there.” Ego wants safety now: Separation fuels fear and control; remembering oneness invites compassion. How to deal with “knowers”: Stay supple—and “be the bullfighter, not the cape.” Art is a spiritual training ground: Acting, directing, and playing music all rehearse presence, collaboration, vulnerability, and truth. Skepticism can be healthy: Jeff stays open to spirit and meaning without forcing the “how.” The point isn’t only “good vibes”: Consciousness wants the full human experience—joy and the honest depths of sadness, shame, anger, and grief. You’re not ruined: At your center is something “pure, whole, and complete,” untouched by what happened to you—or what you’ve done. Jeff Kober “We’re meant to live in the question.” “The universe itself is infinitely loving and kind.” “Consciousness can only embody by forgetting its oneness with itself.” “From individuality, we are solely and wholly at the mercy of the ego.” “Can I continue to expand my consciousness enough to contain even these seeming opposite realities?” Jeff Kober’s Website Jeff Kober Instagram Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

It’s a Sunday Solo, and Jane Morgan is showing up with a snotty nose, a tender nervous system, and a question a lot of us are carrying right now: what is spiritual practice actually for when nothing feels okay? In this episode of Medium Curious, Jane talks honestly about living in a time when the news is relentless, your heart is tired, and the world feels like it’s teetering. She shares the ways she’s been “resourcing” herself — not to bypass what’s happening, but to stay in her body, steady her nervous system, and find a real corner of calm in the chaos. You’ll hear a simple grounding visualization you can do anywhere (even while driving), a sweet nervous-system reset (hand on heart + belly), an easy breath “hack” (longer exhales), and a practical reminder to build a list of your personal resources — from nature walks and music to trusted friends, art, pets, and you betcha… angels. Jane also shares a meaningful synchronicity around her birthday, a celestite crystal, a necklace with angel wings, and a reminder that when we find steadiness inside ourselves, it ripples outward. Because right now, being calm and centered isn’t just self-care — it’s service. Mentioned in this episode: Angel Speak: How to Talk with Your Angels by Barbara Mark & Trudy Griswold Medium Curious episode with Cheryl (Chuck) Rosenthal on the nervous system  A recent episode of Next Level Soul featuring Yogi Raj + a meditation on radiating peace  Medium Curious episode with Radleigh Valentine on Angels Keywords  spiritual practice when overwhelmed, spiritual practices during difficult times, grounding meditation, calming the nervous system, breathwork for anxiety, rest and digest, meditation for stress, nature as healing, community support, emotional resilience, angels and spiritual support, how to find peace when nothing is okay, mindfulness for hard times Takeaways Spiritual practice isn’t “aspirational” right now — it’s a respite. If your nervous system isn’t calibrated, everything feels harder. Grounding (earth + divine connection) can bring you back to one. Hand on heart + hand on belly is a small gesture with big impact. Longer exhales (5 in / 7 out) can shift you out of fight-or-flight. Make a list of your personal “resources” so you can reach for them fast. Nature, music, art, pets, and trusted friends are real medicine. Calling in angels can be a practical support — and synchronicities happen. Calm isn’t denial — it’s a way to stay in your body and be of service. Your inner peace can ripple outward into your family and community. Sound bites “My spiritual practice has become one of the few safe places — a respite.” “If I haven’t calibrated my nervous system, there’s no hope for me.” “Back to one. What is your one?” “When we come back to rest and digest, we can actually serve.” “Nature is ridiculously magical — it’s such a resource.” “Angels… babes. We can call them in.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Happy 2026… but also, do you promise we’re going to be okay? In this heartfelt, funny, and grounding episode, Jane reassures Sarah (and all of us) that we'll make it through the emotional whiplash of living in intense times—without bypassing, numbing, or checking out. And how do we best serve in these times? Sarah and Jane talk about how to hold the dark and the light at the same time, what it looks like to ask Spirit for comfort in real life (and actually receive it), and why the message keeps coming through: there’s no single savior—community is the medicine. Along the way: wildly specific synchronicities (coffee shop → nursery → the exact person you’re meant to see), “five stars” as a spirit sign, the concept of a buffer between feelings and actions, and a surprisingly powerful spiritual practice for 2026: make friends with your feelings, pause when agitated, and don’t add more harm. Your job isn’t to be okay all the time. Your job is to stay in the experience without abandoning yourself. Ask for comfort—out loud. “Universe, I need comfort today” is a real practice, not a cliché. Follow the thread. Intuition often shows up as a nudge toward a place, a person, a podcast, a Zoom call, a book—one next step at a time. Make friends with your feelings. Don’t outrun grief, anger, or fear. Sit with them, let them move, let them tell the truth. Feelings are real. Actions need discernment. The “buffer” is everything—pause, breathe, don’t send the text/email, don’t escalate harm. There’s no one hero coming to fix it. The through-line is collective: community, connection, mutual support. Discernment is a 2026 superpower. Not everything served to you is true. Learn what “yes” feels like in your body—and what “no” feels like too. Stay human. Love doesn’t mean rolling over. Love means refusing to multiply fear with fear. Sarah (20:21): “There’s not going to be any one person that is going to be the answer… it’s going to be everyone coming together as community.” Jane (49:17): “This is the year of authenticity… knowing what’s real and what’s true… you don’t have to defend it or… punch anybody, but you still get to know what’s real.” Michael Newton Journey of Soul’s Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

In this Sunday Solo, Sarah explores a surprisingly common pattern: chasing spiritual highs—those goosebump moments, wild signs, mind-blowing readings, and peak metaphysical experiences—and how that chase can actually pull you out of connection. If you’ve ever received a powerful sign and immediately asked for “one more,” or booked reading after reading hoping to recreate the same wow factor, this episode is your gentle reset. Sarah shares a profound divine-feminine encounter that shifted her relationship with fear, surrender, and self-talk, plus a Stonehenge story that reframes spirituality as creation and integration, not constant fireworks. The through-line: the point isn’t how high you can go in a moment—it’s how you let the moment reshape the way you grieve, love, and live. What You’ll Learn / Key Takeaways Spiritual FOMO is a thing. Wanting “proof” can quickly become bargaining, doubt, and hustling for the next hit of magic. Chasing pulls you out of connection. The more you demand replication, the harder it can be to receive what’s quietly here now. Integration is the upgrade. The real gift of a spiritual high is how it changes your everyday choices, self-talk, and capacity. Surrender is often the doorway. “Turning points” tend to arrive when you soften fear and allow the experience to move through you. Readings can comfort—but they aren’t a cure for grief. Mediumship can offer evidence and love, while grief still needs time, support, and gentleness. Don’t recreate old magic—be available for new magic. Your guides (and life) may be inviting you to build something new, not relive what was. Relish the good the way you “lock in” the bad. Take a snapshot of the beautiful moments—let them soak into your being so you can return to the feeling without chasing repetition. Space creates capacity. Simple practices (meditation, reducing numbing behaviors, slowing the scroll, easing codependent “rescue” habits) can widen the channel. You don’t have to “try” to be spiritual. You’re already spirit—whole, complete—and connection often deepens when you stop striving. “The point isn’t how high we can go in that moment… it’s how we let it reshape the way we live.” “We don’t have to try to be spiritual. Everyone is spiritual by nature. We are spirit.” “Coming online… has to happen at a pace that actually lets us live it—where we can integrate it.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

NEW YEAR RE-RELEASE ✨ Looking for creative inspiration as you step into a brand-new year? This episode is the perfect way to kick things off. Originally released as Episode 12, this conversation explores divine inspiration, creativity, intuition, and co-creation—powerful themes for anyone setting intentions, starting new projects, or opening themselves to what wants to come through next. Is divine inspiration real? Is creativity something the human brain generates—or something we channel from beyond ourselves? Join Jane and Sarah for a soulful, hilarious, and deeply moving conversation with Adam Barr, Emmy Award–winning writer and executive TV producer. Adam was nominated four times and won an Emmy for his work on Will & Grace, and has been a creative force behind many beloved television projects. Together, the trio dives into the magic of creativity and co-creation, exploring channeling in the arts, divine inspiration, and what it really means to collaborate with something greater than ourselves. Along the way, Adam and Sarah discover a shared love of legendary classical composers—cue chills, chicken skin, and full-body resonance—as Brahms and Schumann clearly make their presence known. The conversation also explores the emotional and energetic power of music and art, the importance of grounding and protecting your energy as a creative, and how to stay balanced while making meaningful work. This episode is packed with practical tips for creativity and intuition, psychic games to play with kids (and adults), and ways to test and strengthen your own intuitive abilities. As always, we land on a truth we love: whatever you’re creating this year, you’re not doing it alone. We are constantly, magically, and most definitely being supported from the other side. ✨ Memorable Quotes “Guide me, show me the way. Let’s co-create. Let’s make something great together.” — Adam “Just seeing it would blow up my whole spirit and tears would spring out of my face.” — Jane 🔮 In This Episode, We Explore: Divine inspiration vs. human creativity Channeling and co-creation in the arts Music, emotion, and energetic resonance Grounding and protecting your energy as a creative Intuition-building games for kids and grown-ups How to open yourself to creative support from the unseen 🔗 Links & Love Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane’s Website: Jane Morgan Medium Sarah’s Website: Sarah Rathke Adam Barr IMDb Instagram: @mediumcuriouspod Clair Club with Sarah and Jane Higher Calling with Jane If you enjoyed this episode of Medium Curious, please download, rate, review, and subscribe.

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).

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.

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. They go out on a channel.” — Sarah “We’re responsible for our own energy system, not other people’s feelings.” — Sarah “Gratitude fundamentally shifts how you relate to your pain.” — Jane Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

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).
