It started with a whisper—Tamarin Martin, eyes soft but steady, tuning in live on Instagram. A name. A detail. A presence. Then the moment: “He says he's sorry. He couldn’t see clearly when he was alive, and he's taking ownership now.” You could feel the shift—grief stretching into something softer.

This week’s episode isn’t theory. It’s not talk about mediumship—it is mediumship. Courtney sits down with psychic medium and Reiki master Tamarin Martin for a raw, real-time demonstration of evidential mediumship. No vague guesses. No spiritual fluff. Just spirit, truth, and healing through specific, soul-anchored messages. If you’ve ever wondered what it really sounds like when a loved one comes through—or how to recognize ethical, heart-led spirit communication—this is the one to hear.

Whether you're grieving, curious, or looking to deepen your connection to the unseen world, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Highlights:
– What evidential mediumship actually means
– How Tamarin senses and interprets messages from spirit
– Red flags in spiritual readings: what to avoid
– Spirit message for Angela: A male in spirit steps forward with deep apology and emotional clarity
– Spirit message for Katie: A brother’s love, spaghetti memories, and a jacket left behind
– Spirit message for Lorraine: A singing mother, self-care reminders, and family lineage in names and music
– Q&A: How to begin connecting to spirit, signs, and the truth about "being born a medium"

A dime fell through her dining room table—and everything she thought she knew unraveled.

In this deeply human, beautifully unpolished conversation, psychic medium Virginia Belliveau shares the raw, true story of her awakening. From growing up Mormon and hiding her gifts, to the moment Spirit showed up so undeniably it couldn’t be explained away, Virginia walks us through the long road from self-doubt to soul-trust.

This isn’t about “having a gift.” It’s about finally letting yourself believe it’s real—and learning how to live with one foot in both worlds. If you’ve ever wondered if your own signs meant something… listen closely.

What You’ll Hear:
– The dime moment that changed her entire path
– How grief and faith deconstruction cracked her open
– The early burnout signs no one talks about
– Why your nervous system matters more than your next certification
– The real reason trusting your intuition feels so hard
– How to protect your energy without closing your heart

"The minute I hit send to get the dime back, her mom left. That was the moment I knew—I’m a medium." Virginia

What does it look like to follow Spirit—when you’re not ready, not healed, and not sure who you are anymore?

In this episode of The Connected Spirit, Courtney sits down with Erica Barretto, a psychic medium and retired NYC law enforcement officer, for a profound conversation on spiritual awakening, illness, and identity.

Erica’s journey began in the rigidity of a law enforcement career, shaped by religious fear, cultural expectation, and emotional suppression. But when Spirit came knocking—through dreams, synchronicities, and a life-changing brain tumor diagnosis—everything began to unravel.

Together, Courtney and Erica explore:

• The early signs of mediumship (and why Erica ignored them)

• How chronic illness, grief, and anxiety became gateways to awakening

• The spiritual and emotional cost of leaving a stable career to walk a soul path

• Why healing must come before mediumship—and how both continue to evolve

• The story behind Erica’s Self Discovery Oracle Deck, and how it supports her clients today

This episode holds a mirror for those in transition, those in fear, and those wondering if it’s “too late” to start over.

“You don’t need to be perfect to do this work. You show up as you are—and that is enough.” - Erica

She never set out to be a psychic—or a forensic consultant working with the FBI.
She just knew, deep in her bones: if I don’t teach people how to connect, I’ll die inside.

In this episode, I sit down with Reverend Sheila Marie—a world-recognized forensic medium, spiritual teacher, and former law enforcement officer. From Sunday school teacher to solving cold cases through spirit-led dreams, Sheila’s journey is one of deep surrender, spiritual precision, and trust in a power far greater than herself.

We talk about her earliest intuitive awakenings, how a single dream led to a real-world conviction, and what it really means to walk the fine line between the seen and unseen worlds.

If you’ve ever wondered how mediumship can serve truth, justice, and healing in the real world—this episode will stay with you.

Highlights from this episode:

– The “light in the bathroom” that changed everything
– When a calling hits overnight—and you can’t turn it off
– Navigating judgment and living a “double life” as a medium
– Her first big case: Babe Ruth’s piano and an unexpected breakthrough
– The dream that solved a cold case and put a man away for life
– How to build trust with your spirit team—and why you must – Tips for intuitive beginners + reclaiming your inner light
– Why we’re never stuck, even when it feels like it

You ever feel like the moment you finally stand in your truth, the world hands you a storm?

This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at what really happens when you decide to step into your spiritual gifts—when you stop shrinking and start shining. Together with Amy, we share the ache of betrayal, the heaviness of grief, and the inner resilience it takes to stay rooted in your purpose when others project their unhealed wounds onto you.

If you've ever felt blindsided by jealousy, shamed for your success, or emotionally exiled by those you once called sisters, this one’s for you. It’s about grief. Boundaries. Misplaced loyalty. And the hard truth that not everyone can come with you when you rise.

This episode won’t sugarcoat what it means to be a lightworker in a shadow-filled world—but it will remind you that you’re not crazy, not alone, and not wrong for wanting more.

If this episode cracked something open for you, take a quiet moment today and ask yourself: Where have I been holding back to make others comfortable? Then let your next step be yours—unapologetically.

She walked into a spiritualist church at 18—and something deep in her body said, finally.

It wasn’t a thunderbolt. It wasn’t a sign. It was a felt-sense of home.

This week, I sit down with Veronica Jenkins—35-year spiritualist, evidential medium, spirit artist, educator, and author—to talk about what happens when Spirit stops being an idea and starts being your compass.

We go deep on the philosophy of spiritualism, the unseen labor of serving a church community, and how animal totems can become sacred mirrors for who you are and who you're becoming.

She’s not here to teach quick tricks. She’s here to tell the truth: Mediumship isn’t about collecting certificates. It’s about becoming someone Spirit can trust.

If you’ve been craving real-talk about spiritual awakening, animal spirit guides, and what it really means to walk the path of mediumship, this one’s for you.

Feeling blocked in your mediumship? Wondering why your spirit connection feels inconsistent, vague, or even nonexistent during readings? You’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode, I break down the real reason so many mediums feel stuck, especially after taking classes, sitting in circles, and doing practice readings.

I shares my personal story of sitting in circles with seasoned mediums while silently struggling to deliver even one accurate message—and how I went from insecure and overwhelmed to confident and clear.

You’ll learn why....

👉Most mediumship training skips critical foundations

👉 Your ability to connect with Spirit isn’t about natural talent

👉How mastering your own energy first is the key to real, reliable mediumship development.

I also share details about my Connected Spirit Method and how it’s transforming the way modern mediums are trained.

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience but still feel shaky in your link, this episode will show you exactly what needs to shift—and how to do it.

"There's nothing wrong with your mediumship. It's the training you've had." - Courtney
