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.”

FALL RE-RELEASE: We’ve been talking about Perdita Finn nonstop lately… so we’re bringing back one of our most beloved conversations.

Originally released 11/6/2024, this episode remains a listener favorite for a reason.

~~~

Perdita Finn — author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World — teaches that “every day is the day of the dead.” In this super fun and surprising conversation, she shows us what it really means to collaborate with the dead, call in our ancestors, and receive help from the unseen world.

Perdita shares stories about her father, the healing that unfolded after his passing, and how the dead can strengthen our intuition, guide our creativity, and walk beside us in everyday life. We explore signs, synchronicities, ancestral amends, the spirituality within 12-step programs, and the deeper story of our souls.

If you’ve been feeling pulled toward your ancestors lately… this one is for you!

• Why the dead want to help us (and how to put them to work)

• How healing with the dead strengthens intuition

• Why reincarnation is only one stitch in our soul’s long story

• How signs and synchronicities show up when the dead are near

• Why 12-step spirituality is a radical doorway to the unseen

• How ancestors shape our path and creativity

• The lingering impact of witch-trial history on our beliefs

• How collaboration with the dead can expand your purpose

• “The unseen world is real.”

• “The dead have shown up for me. They all want to help us.”

• “Every day is the day of the dead.”

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.
