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.

“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.”

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.

“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.”

FALL RE-RELEASE: We’ve been talking about Perdita Finn nonstop lately… so we’re bringing back one of our most beloved conversations.

~~~

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.

If you’ve been feeling pulled toward your ancestors lately… this one is for you!

Why the dead want to help us (and how to put them to work)

How healing with the dead strengthens intuition

Why reincarnation is only one stitch in our soul’s long story

How signs and synchronicities show up when the dead are near

Why 12-step spirituality is a radical doorway to the unseen

How ancestors shape our path and creativity

The lingering impact of witch-trial history on our beliefs

How collaboration with the dead can expand your purpose

“The unseen world is real.”

“The dead have shown up for me. They all want to help us.”

“Every day is the day of the dead.”

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.

“Our thoughts are powerful. They go out on a channel.” — Sarah

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.”

 Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s seven conditions for flow

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.

“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

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.

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“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.”
