About this listen

Real talk + grounded guidance for psychic mediums growing their gifts with Spirit at the center. Hey, I’m Courtney Dawson—an evidential international psychic medium, ordained spiritualist minister and teacher. I created this podcast because mediumship is one of the most transformational paths you can walk… but let’s be honest, it doesn’t come with a map. This show is where we talk about the real journey of mediumship development—the kind no one tells you about in weekend workshops. We get into the doubts, the breakthroughs, the grief that surfaces, the unexpected healing, and what it means to walk this path ethically, intuitively, and in alignment with your own soul. I’ll be sharing stories from my own practice, teaching episodes to support your spiritual growth, and honest conversations about what it actually looks like to live and work as a psychic medium in today’s world. If you’ve ever wondered: “Is this normal?” “Why does Spirit feel quiet right now?” “Where do I go from here?” This podcast is for you. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your gifts or deep in development, you’re welcome here. This is a space where your mediumship gets to evolve in its own timing—without pressure, without comparison, and with full trust in your connection to Spirit. Come sit with me inside The Connected Spirit. We’re going to keep it real, grounded, and Spirit-led every step of the way.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved. Spirituality

    Sep 1 2025

    • The tools in Kelly’s intuitive toolkit—and how to build your own

  • The Truth About Psychic Readings: Empowerment Over Dependency
    Aug 25 2025

    What happens when psychic readings become a crutch?

    In this deeply honest conversation, returning guest Rory Walkhom—a spiritual teacher, channel, and mentor with The Medium School—shares the kind of truth that stops you mid-scroll. You’ll hear us unpack a very real and often uncomfortable dynamic in the psychic and spiritual world: how repeated readings, while well-intentioned, can slowly disempower the very people they aim to help.

    Together, we name what’s not working, but more importantly, we talk about how to do it better. For clients, for practitioners, and for the integrity of the sacred work.

    This episode isn’t about calling people out. It’s about calling us all in—to a way of showing up in this work that actually roots us deeper into our own soul wisdom.

    You’ll hear Rory talk about:

    • What a psychic reading is truly meant for

    • Why discomfort in the unknown doesn’t need immediate fixing

    • How to reconnect with your own inner expansion

    • What ethical boundaries look like—for both the reader and the client

    • How to choose a practitioner from a place of alignment, not panic

    Whether you’re a practicing intuitive or someone who turns to readings when life feels uncertain, this one will meet you right where you are.


    "If we’re doing readings again and again for people, we are disempowering them from connecting to their own intuition. That’s not healing. That’s dependency."- Rory Walkhom

  • When Spirit Doesn’t Follow the Rules: Heather’s Mediumship Awakening
    Aug 18 2025

    Heather Bierner didn’t come to mediumship empty-handed. She brought years of spiritual seeking, a Christian upbringing she’d long outgrown, and intuitive experiences that hinted at something deeper. She even went to India in search of soul truth.

    But nothing prepared her for the moment when spirit asked her to let go of everything she thought she needed—and just trust. In this intimate conversation, Heather opens up about her journey inside the Mediumship Mastery Circle: from resisting the unfamiliar to becoming the very tool spirit could work through.

    What began with photos, structure, and “doing it right” transformed into something far more sacred—real connection, raw trust, and wild moments of evidence that cracked her open. (Yes, “just say ducks” is now a whole thing.)

    If you’ve ever doubted your gifts or wondered if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is your permission to drop the script, soften into your own rhythm, and trust what spirit already knows about you. You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
