In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Shelley Youell - spiritual medium, teacher and spirit artist - for a candid conversation about unfolding your mediumship the simple, grounded way. Shelley shares early childhood experiences with spirit (including powerful moments of protection), the loss that opened her further, and the turning point that confirmed, “Yes - you are a medium.”

We dig into practical teaching for developing sensitives: how to sit in your own soul energy vs sitting in the power, why intention is everything, and the art of managing heightened sensitivity so life doesn’t feel like constant overload. Shelley opens up about perfectionism, confidence wobblies, and the trap of expectation - and offers gentle remedies: slow down, enjoy the journey, keep it simple, and let spirit lead from the heart.

Whether you’re just starting out or returning to your practice, you’ll find clear guidance on intuition, foundations before mediumship, self-development alongside psychic development, switching “on and off,” and staying uniquely you. It’s an uplifting reminder that our work is a celebration of life - and that the beauty of mediumship shines when we relax, trust, and serve with love.

This wasn’t the episode I intended to record. I’d just returned from a seven-night trance course at the Arthur Findlay College, ready to talk about spirit communication and what I’d learned. Then everything changed. Within hours, my dad was rushed into hospital, critically ill.

In this raw and unfiltered check-in, I open up about that night: the fear, the synchronicities, the power of healing, and how prayer and spirit seemed to move through it all. I talk about what it means to stay in your power when life feels out of control, how A Course in Miracles suddenly took on new meaning, and the lessons that come when you’re living between the physical and spiritual worlds.

This episode is a reminder that the spiritual path isn’t always light and bliss - it’s also about trust, surrender, and remembering that love is stronger than fear.

In this conversation I’m joined by medium, tutor and demonstrator Donna Barker for a clear, grounded look at what real development actually takes: discipline, patience and trust. Donna shares her late awakening at 36, why skepticism can be healthy, and how the spirit world works through our imagination rather than around it. We unpack sitting in the power (solo vs. with spirit), the difference between passive states and active mental mediumship, and practical ways to bring relationship and specific evidence earlier in a contact.

We also explore the inner work - self-honesty, forgiveness, and soul evolution - and the very human question: Is it me or spirit? Donna’s coaching on focus, not chasing “yeses,” and learning more from the misses than the hits is gold for developing mediums at every stage.

What we cover

• “Is it me or spirit?”- making peace with imagination as the instrument
• Sitting in the Power: mechanics, aura, and building mental discipline
• Active vs. passive states (why too much calm can stall a contact)
• Getting relationship first and letting detail stay specific
• Trust, patience and partnering 50/50 with the spirit world
• The soul’s journey: life lessons, love, and growth over time

If you’re developing - or returning to - your mediumship, this one will steady your feet and lift your faith.
