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.

If your soul is craving a safe, supportive space to deepen your connection with Spirit, my fall Mediumship Mastery Circles are now open for enrollment.

There’s a moment in every medium’s journey when Spirit steps in so clearly, so undeniably, that you can’t go back to who you were before. For me, it was a warm June night outside a little Spiritualist church—a chance meeting with a man in Spirit that cracked my world wide open.

But here’s what I learned in the years after: your mediumship doesn’t grow in a vacuum. It needs a safe, soul-aligned space to breathe. The wrong circle will leave you doubting yourself. The right one will see you first—before your evidence, before your “performance”—and hold you steady while your gifts find their rhythm.

In this episode, I share the story of that first undeniable connection, the hard seasons that followed, and why the right mentor and community are the difference between burnout and deep, joyful connection with the Spirit world. If you’ve been wondering why your mediumship feels stuck—or why it flowed so effortlessly before you “tried so hard”—this one’s for you.

“Mediumship isn’t something you chase. It’s already within you—and the right community will help you remember that.” ~ Courtney Dawson

If your soul is craving a safe, supportive space to deepen your connection with Spirit, my fall Mediumship Mastery Circles are now open for enrollment.

There’s a moment most of us don’t talk about—the quiet, gritty middle of the spiritual path. The part where everything feels heavy, not magical. Where we wonder, “Am I really meant for this?” In today’s episode, Courtney shares her raw experience of navigating these shadows: losing friendships, leaving the church, and questioning her path—yet always finding her way back to spirit’s quiet power.

If you’ve been feeling weary, unsure, or disconnected, this conversation is your gentle reminder: the waves may feel overwhelming, but the shore is always there. You’re not losing the plot. You’re just in the middle.
