The Connected Spirit Podcast

Courtney Dawson

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 mediumship 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.

    Am I a Psychic Medium? 5 Signs Spirit Is Reaching You

    Have you ever felt a presence, had a knowing that came out of nowhere, or experienced something you couldn't explain — and then spent the rest of the day convincing yourself it was just a coincidence? If that sounds familiar, this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast is going to hit differently. Courtney shares the story of the very first spirit message she ever gave — in a parking lot, at night, before she had a single class under her belt. A man in Spirit wouldn't leave her alone until she delivered his message to his daughter and granddaughter. She gave his physical description, how he passed, the whole thing. Both women could take all of it. And in that moment, everything changed. If you've been quietly sitting on experiences like this and brushing them off, this episode gives you real, grounded answers. In this episode you'll learn: The 5 real signs you're receiving spirit communication — not just intuition Why mediumship development is different from psychic work and why that distinction matters Why you don't have to have been aware of Spirit since childhood to be a developing medium What evidential mediumship actually looks like and why the evidence is always the medium's job Why formal mediumship training removes doubt, builds consistency, and changes everything The right reasons to pursue this path — and why it's sacred, not a shortcut If after listening you find yourself nodding along thinking yeah, I've had that... that's not your imagination. That's Spirit.   Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Website: mediumcourtneydawson.com  Join Courtney's programs: Summer with Spirit — 12 weeks of live mediumship training.

    Energetic Presence and Spirit Communication with Sunny Dawn Johnston

    If your mediumship development feels inconsistent no matter how hard you practise, this episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast is going to hit differently. This week I sat down with Sunny Dawn Johnston, globally recognised spiritual teacher, author, and CEO of the School of Light. With 42 years in the spiritual field and 26 years of professional experience, Sunny brings a level of grounded wisdom that is rare in this industry. She has appeared on Lifetime, Gaia, Fox, and Coast to Coast AM and has helped tens of thousands of people reconnect with their soul, their intuition, and their spiritual gifts. And what she shared in this conversation stopped me mid-sentence. Most developing mediums are taught how to connect with Spirit. What almost nobody teaches is how to be present enough to actually receive what Spirit is sending. Sunny unpacks why scattered energy is the number one block to clear and consistent spirit communication, and what to do about it starting today. This is not a conversation about doing more. It is a conversation about coming back to yourself so Spirit can actually reach you. In this episode we cover: Why energetic presence is the real foundation of evidential mediumship How scattered energy blocks spirit communication more than ability ever could Why sensitive people burn out and how to build longevity as a psychic medium Sunny's personal five-step morning presence practice How to manage and maintain your energy before every reading The message the angels have been delivering consistently since the pandemic Why staying in your body is one of the most important things a developing medium can do The difference between spiritual escapism and genuine spirit communication Connect with Sunny Dawn Johnston: Website: sunnydawnjohnston.com   Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @mediumcourtneydawson Website: mediumcourtneydawson.com  Join Courtney's programs: Summer with Spirit — 12 weeks of live mediumship training.

    Why Your Mediumship Isn't Consistent And How to Fix It

    In this solo episode, Courtney Dawson explores one of the most common challenges in mediumship development: inconsistency. If you have ever had one strong, evidence-filled reading followed by another where the connection felt unclear or difficult to maintain, this episode explains why that happens. Courtney shares why inconsistent spirit communication is often not about lack of ability, but about missing structure, technical foundation, and repeatable process. She talks about the gap in much of today's mediumship training, where developing mediums are often taught fragments of technique without learning how to consistently build, hold, and re-establish a link with the spirit world. Drawing on her experience as a professional psychic medium, years of development circle work, and training at Arthur Findlay College, Courtney explains what supports stronger, more reliable evidential mediumship. She also shares how better training helped her move from hoping a connection would work to knowing how to work with Spirit in a clear and consistent way. This episode is for developing and professional mediums who want stronger foundations, more confidence, and a more repeatable approach to mediumship. In this episode Why mediumship inconsistency is usually a training issue, not an ability issue What is often missing from mediumship education How a repeatable process supports stronger spirit communication What to do when you lose the link with a spirit communicator during a reading Why technical foundation matters in evidential mediumship How structured practice can support growth, confidence, and accuracy   ☀️ Summer with Spirit - 12 week live training.

    Why Your Manifestations Keep Failing and How to Fix It With Lynnsey Robinson

    If your manifestations keep stalling no matter how hard you try, the problem isn't your practice — it's the 95% of your mind running silently in the background. Spiritual hypnotherapist Lynnsey Robinson joins Courtney Dawson to expose exactly what is blocking your goals at the subconscious level, why most affirmations are working against you, and how to finally reprogram the beliefs that have been quietly running your life since childhood. This is the conversation that changes how you see manifestation, your spiritual gifts, and your own power to create. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER: Why visualizing and affirming only engages 5% of your mind — and what controls the other 95% How your subconscious was programmed before age nine and why that blueprint is still determining what you can and cannot manifest today The real reason your excitement around a new goal always fades — and what is actually happening in your mind when it does Why half the population is doing affirmations completely wrong and how to fix yours so your subconscious actually receives them How spiritual hypnotherapy goes beyond habit change to access past lives, spirit guides, and genuine soul-level transformation Connect with Lynnsey Instagram https://www.instagram.com/LynnseyRobinson/ High Vibin' It Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/1zqn1j0AIADQNMpF0KtzQq Connect with Courtney Join The Waitlist for The Connected Spirit Membership https://theconnectedspiritschool.myflodesk.com/cdlgq1zmnb 📣 The Remembering - 3 Day In Person Retreat July 17-19,2026 https://loveofaverykind.ca/retreat/2878-2   Mediumship Mastery Circle https://mediumcourtneydawson.my.canva.site/mediumshipmastery Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediumcourtneydawson/   Website https://mediumcourtneydawson.com   📌 Subscribe to The Connected Spirit Podcast so you never miss an episode that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual journey.   ethical mediumship, God Source, evidential mediumship, spiritual growth, divine connection, intuition, healing, spiritual mentorship, psychic medium, sacred service

    Restoring God-Force in Modern Mediumship with Nicole Newman

    In this sacred and thought-provoking conversation, Courtney Dawson sits down with psychic medium Nicole Newman to explore what's been quietly lost in modern mediumship — and how bringing the God-force, or divine Source, back into the work transforms everything. Together, they discuss how performance culture has overshadowed reverence, how ego subtly replaces service, and why true mediumship begins and ends with humility. Nicole shares how reconnecting to the sacred enhances accuracy, healing, and authenticity in readings, and how mediums can anchor into divine partnership without dogma or religion. If you've ever felt that something "holy" has gone missing in spiritual work, this episode will remind you what mediumship is really about — love, presence, and service. ethical mediumship, God Source, evidential mediumship, spiritual growth, divine connection, intuition, healing, spiritual mentorship, psychic medium, sacred service     Connect with Nicole https://loveofaverykind.com/   Connect with Courtney Join The Waitlist for The Connected Spirit Membership https://theconnectedspiritschool.myflodesk.com/cdlgq1zmnb 📣 The Remembering - 3 Day In Person Retreat July 17-19,2026 https://loveofaverykind.ca/retreat/2878-2   Mediumship Mastery Circle https://mediumcourtneydawson.my.canva.site/mediumshipmastery Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediumcourtneydawson/   Website https://mediumcourtneydawson.com   ethical mediumship, God Source, evidential mediumship, spiritual growth, divine connection, intuition, healing, spiritual mentorship, psychic medium, sacred service
