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

Telepathic Animal Communicator Nikki Vasconez: From Lawyer to Pet Communication Teacher!

“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. Only the limits we place on reality.” —Nikki

Downloading the Muse: Writer Mary Beth Pemberton on Channeling History

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.”

Portals, Synchronicity, and the Art of Becoming with Marisa White*

What happens when art becomes a portal—and Spirit finds ways to break through? In this sparkly conversation, visual artist Marisa White joins Jane and Sarah to share how her surreal photo montages blur the line between real and imagined, inviting us to “make the magical feel probable.”
Marisa recounts how her neighbor Julie opened her spiritual world—and how, after Julie’s passing, she made her presence known through scents, light, and laughter. From coffee beans and sage to essential oils, Marisa shares extraordinary stories of “Smell-o-Vision” visitations that affirmed Spirit’s nearness.
We chat about:
Art as conduit: flow, discipline, and allowing something greater to move through you
Synchronicity at the Park City art festival and the connections that followed
The piece Becoming and the Merkaba symbol that “insisted” on staying
Embodying the higher self—right here, right now
Small-and-mighty grandmothers, Monarch butterflies, and honoring ancestors through art
The love story of “Dr. Awesome” and how trust + partnership fuel creativity
Why following nudges (instead of starving-artist myths) opens unexpected doors
Through laughter, chills, and a few tears, this episode reminds us that art isn’t just something we make—it’s something that makes us, too.
 
Quotes
“Make the magical feel probable.” —Marisa
“Sometimes the art tells me what it means after it’s done.” —Marisa
“Art isn’t coming from us—it’s moving through us.” —Marisa
 
✨ Takeaways
Flow often comes after you start creating, not before.
Spirit communicates through the senses—smells, light, synchronicities.
Trust your nudges: art, love, and life expand when you follow them.
Embodying your highest self is the real masterpiece.

Only Love is Real: Feel Good Always Podcast Joins Medium Curious this week!

What happens when three podcasts hosts—guided by synchronicity, soul contracts, and the  really big energy of Spirit—sit down together with an open mic and open hearts?
Magic. 
In this joint episode of Feel Good Always and Medium Curious, Becky Bradley, Jane Morgan, and Sarah Rathke explore the extraordinary journey of love through grief, surrender, and awakening. Becky shares how the passing of her daughter Keira became not an ending, but an activation: a call to embody love, to release fear, and to trust the orchestration of Spirit.
This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a TRANSMISSION. Listen in and feel the frequency of love move through your own body. As Becky reminds us: it is done.
Together we talk about:
Synchronicities and signs — from ladybugs to sunflowers to repeating number
Surrender and fear — how to recognize what’s yours and what belongs to the collective
Redefining “death” — and experiencing the ongoing presence of our loved ones
Holding the field — what it means to anchor love in turbulent times
Embodiment of truth — why ascension isn’t abstract, but a lived human experience
Key Takeaways:
Signs from Spirit can appear everywhere — numbers, animals, even broken microphones
Fear is not always yours; learning to discern collective energy is key
Surrender is a practice that opens the door to peace, even in unimaginable loss
“Death” is not the end — love and connection continue beyond the veil
Holding the field of love is a choice and a powerful act of collective healing

for11_together ~ Rachel Stewart on Heaven on Earth!

Signs From Spirit: Rachel Stewart brings stories of connection that heal!
In this moving episode 52 of Medium Curious, Jane and Sarah sit down with Rachel Stewart of for11_Together, a storyteller and spiritual guide whose journey through grief became a path of connection, healing, and faith. After the passing of her daughter Kenadie, Rachel began receiving nudges from Spirit that led her to create a space for sharing “stories of connection”—those undeniable signs from loved ones across the veil. What started as a small Instagram page has blossomed into a powerful community of over 120,000 followers, where stories of synchronicity, miracles, and spiritual guidance bring comfort and validation to those navigating grief and seeking proof of life after death.
Rachel shares how meditation became less about silencing the mind and more about learning to listen—to thoughts, to nudges, and to Spirit’s whispers. She introduces her simple but profound practice of “3-2-1 Believe,” a grounding technique that opens the door to connection with guides, angels, and loved ones. She also recounts extraordinary experiences with Jesus and her spirit team, moments of proof that dissolved skepticism and brought deep healing to others—including a powerful energy healing session for a man in hospice that changed his final days.
With humor, honesty, and reverence, Rachel reminds us that connection is possible for everyone, and that Spirit is constantly reaching out with love, guidance, and signs if we’re willing to listen.
