I used to say, “I’m doing my mediumship on Tuesday.” Like it was a thing to fit between laundry and life. And that worked—until it didn’t. This episode is personal. Not polished. I talk about how society, religion, even our own fear teaches us to split from our sensitivity—to treat it like a job instead of our nature. And I tell the story I didn’t plan to: how the scans showed tumors in both ovaries, how I braced to lose one, and how Spirit reminded me—clear as anything—that we’re not separated from our truth. We’re just conditioned to forget it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things and still not feeling connected to your gifts, this is the deeper conversation. The one where we stop performing and start coming home. “Mediumship isn’t something you schedule. It’s something you live.” If this stirred something, don’t journal it. Just sit with it. Let it land. And if someone in your world’s been second-guessing their own path, pass this along. Sometimes the reminder isn’t ours to keep.

How My Mediumship Student Became Confident as a Pro Medium in only 6 Months of Mentorship
In this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast, I sit down with my student Julia DeGroat — a naturally intuitive woman who always felt Spirit but didn’t know how to fully trust what she was receiving. After a spiritual reawakening during pregnancy, followed by a powerful sitting-in-the-power experience that both opened and overwhelmed her, Julia decided it was time to stop developing alone. She joined one of my circles. Showed up. Practiced. And in just six months? She gave her first professional evidential reading — confidently. Her story is going to remind you that your timeline is sacred. And you don’t have to do it alone. 🎧 Inside this episode, you’ll hear: 02:10 – Julia’s early signs of sensitivity (and how pregnancy reawakened her mediumship) 06:34 – The sitting-in-the-power experience that cracked her open 09:50 – What it was like to move from self-study into a guided mentorship circle 12:10 – Building confidence through practice, support, and surrender 17:25 – How she moved through fear, imposter syndrome, and energetic vulnerability 22:12 – The power of community when you're tired of figuring it out alone 26:40 – What surprised her most about giving public readings for strangers 30:50 – Why it’s not about being “born gifted”—it’s about trust, practice, and support 35:15 – Julia’s message to anyone afraid they’re not good enough to do this work ✨ This episode is for the psychic medium who: Feels isolated or unsure how to move forward Has been reading books, listening to podcasts, but still second-guesses Spirit Craves community, guidance, and a space to grow without ego or pressure Wants to feel confident, clear, and connected — in their gifts and themselves You’re not behind. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not making it up. You're unfolding — just like Julia. Just like every real-deal medium who said yes to Spirit before they felt “ready.” 🎧 Tune in now to hear her journey — and if this speaks to your soul, come see what we’re building inside the Mediumship Mastery Circle.

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.
