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.

This short Soul Sync meditation is designed as a companion to Awakening Isn’t Bliss: From Breakdown to Alignment. In just a few minutes, you’ll be guided to settle your breath, ground into the earth, and release tension with each exhale.

Through gentle imagery - roots grounding you, a garden reflecting the seasons of your life, and a radio dial tuning from static into signal - you’ll be invited to sense where you are right now: in alignment or caught in the noise of the mind.

There’s no judgment here, only awareness. This is a simple practice to return you to clarity, presence, and the quiet truth of your soul.
