The Psychic Explorer

This month, I'm joined by psychic medium, witch, and all-round force of nature Anthony Lightz — and what a conversation this is!

Anthony grew up in rural Illinois in a conservative household shaped by evangelical religion, and spent years quietly suppressing two enormous parts of himself: his sexuality and his gifts. In this episode, Anthony opens up about what it was like to grow up gay and psychic in a cornfield, to pray the gay away, to have his witchy books confiscated at fifteen, and to eventually find his way back to all of it.

We talk about religious trauma, the surprising parallels between coming out of the closet and coming out of the broom cupboard, and how stepping into his authentic self transformed not just his life — but his relationship with his Dad too.

Warm, funny, and deeply real. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they had to hide who they were.

Happy Pride. 🌈🔮✨

So, I finally did it. I pressed live on TikTok — candles lit, cards shuffled, settings researched to within an inch of their life. And then... I completely fell apart.

This episode is me being honest about what happened when I tried to step into a version of mediumship that isn't really mine. The 48-hour spiral that followed taught me more about my own practice — and my own self-doubt — than almost anything else has. It turns out the scaffolding was all in place. The house, though? Empty.

I also come clean about the daily meditation routine I promised you on the beach episode. Spoiler: it lasted one day.

If you've ever tried something, crashed, and had to sit with that cringe for a while — this one's for you. 🌧️✨

What would happen if you trusted your intuition so completely, you sold everything, packed up your family, and moved across the world with no plan and nowhere to live?

That's exactly what Kelsey Anderson did. In this conversation, Kelsey shares how following her gut took her from Washington State to the Scottish Highlands, through England, Bali, and Croatia — and ultimately back home. But this isn't a travel show. It's a conversation about what it really means to stop second-guessing yourself and start actually listening.

We cover how travel expands your frame of reference as a medium, what spiritual practice looks like when you're living out of a suitcase, and the surprising ways an intuition-led life changes the relationships closest to you.

Recorded live from a Norfolk beach — bad back and all — this solo episode asks a question I've been sitting with for a while: am I a lazy psychic?

On the drive here, I was listening to someone talk about their daily spiritual practice: meditating multiple times a day, pulling cards, constant study. And I thought… I do none of that. So what does psychic development actually look like when you're just living your life?

In this honest reflection, I talk about the pressure — often self-imposed — to practice in a rigid, prescribed way, why forcing your mediumship development down a route that doesn't feel natural might actually hold you back, and how redefining ritual can change everything. Spoiler: following your intuition to the beach counts too.

I'm also setting myself a small commitment for the next few weeks. Come back and I'll tell you if I actually did it. 👀

In this episode of The Psychic Explorer, I sit down with developing medium Nat Lockett for an honest and moving conversation about spirit communication, grief, and what it means to be led by love.

Nat shares experiences that span a lifetime — from hearing unexplained sounds as a child, to smelling her father before learning he had passed, to being present with her mother in her final moments. These are not spooky stories. They are stories of connection, comfort, and love continuing beyond physical life.

We talk about what it's like to grow up with psychic and mediumistic experiences when those around you don't understand them, how fear from others can shape your confidence as a developing medium, and how Nat is now raising her own children to meet spirit with curiosity rather than fear.

Whether you're grieving, curious about mediumship, or simply looking for reassurance that our loved ones are still close — this episode is for you.

📺 Videos of Nat's spirit light communication are on Instagram & TikTok.

Something has shifted.

Since my last solo episode on authentic mediumship, my platform work has hit a new level — deeper evidence, stronger connections, and for the first time, a real sense of comfort in my own skin as a medium. But comfort doesn't mean that I'm finished!

In this episode I'm recording from my back garden in Norfolk on a spring evening, reflecting on the work still ahead — particularly my one-to-one readings — and why seeking mentorship is itself an act of authenticity. Plus a journal entry written almost exactly a year ago that turned out to be more relevant now than when I wrote it.

AnneMarie Pisano calls herself the "mundane medium" — no rituals, no moon water required. Just intention, meditation, and learning to trust what's already within you.

AnneMarie is a developing psychic medium and tarot reader from New Jersey whose story I keep coming back to. A lonely childhood, a spiritual life that ebbed and flowed for decades, and then COVID — which kept her indoors for eighteen months and sparked a profound psychic awakening.

We talk clairsentience, pet mediumship, the vision of a waiter that convinced her she was the real deal, and why her core message is so simple: you were born with this.

How authentic are you — really? Not just in your mediumship, but in how you show up in every area of your life?

After months of chasing algorithms, comparing myself to other creators and losing my joy in the process, I hit reset! This episode is an honest reflection on what happens when comparison steals your joy, and what it takes to find your way back to yourself.

If you're a developing psychic medium, a spiritual seeker, or simply someone who has ever felt the pressure to be someone you're not — this one's for you.

🔮 Channeling Spirit Guides: Kim Charlson Lets Monty Speak🔮

In this episode of The Psychic Explorer Podcast, I sit down with Kim Charlson — a semi-conscious trance channeler who works with her spirit guide, Monty.

Kim explains the key difference between channeling and evidential mediumship, why channeling can't offer the same kind of proof, but why that doesn't make it any less real. She shares how her first spontaneous channeling experience left her thinking she'd lost her mind — and how she found her way back to trusting it.

We also go live: Monty joins the conversation directly, sharing his perspective on spirit teams, soul experiences, and what it means to exist in physical form.

If you're curious about trance channeling, spirit guide communication, or the difference between your inner voice and external guidance, this episode gives you a grounded and honest place to start.
