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

Jamie Butler on Everyday Mediumship, Trance Channeling & Trusting Your Intuition

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.

Kim Rhodes on Mediumship, Intuition & Why Nothing About It Is Supernatural

🎄 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

The Beliefs Holding You Back (And How to Let Them Go!)

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?

How to Stop People-Pleasing and Start Channeling ~ Platform Mediumship with Lauren Robertson

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.”

Presence Makes You Psychic (Yes, Really): How to Read Energy 101

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.”

Signs From Pets in Spirit: Love Notes From across the Rainbow Bridge

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.

Flow State & Mediumship: How Getting “In the Zone” Opens the Door to Spirit

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.”

From Soap Star to Death Doula: Kale Browne on Mediumship, Remote Viewing & Life After Death

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
