    How to Not Check Out in 2026 — In Service of the Best Possible Outcome!

    Happy 2026… but also, do you promise we’re going to be okay? In this heartfelt, funny, and grounding episode, Jane reassures Sarah (and all of us) that we'll make it through the emotional whiplash of living in intense times—without bypassing, numbing, or checking out. And how do we best serve in these times? Sarah and Jane talk about how to hold the dark and the light at the same time, what it looks like to ask Spirit for comfort in real life (and actually receive it), and why the message keeps coming through: there’s no single savior—community is the medicine. Along the way: wildly specific synchronicities (coffee shop → nursery → the exact person you’re meant to see), “five stars” as a spirit sign, the concept of a buffer between feelings and actions, and a surprisingly powerful spiritual practice for 2026: make friends with your feelings, pause when agitated, and don’t add more harm. Your job isn’t to be okay all the time. Your job is to stay in the experience without abandoning yourself. Ask for comfort—out loud. “Universe, I need comfort today” is a real practice, not a cliché. Follow the thread. Intuition often shows up as a nudge toward a place, a person, a podcast, a Zoom call, a book—one next step at a time. Make friends with your feelings. Don’t outrun grief, anger, or fear. Sit with them, let them move, let them tell the truth. Feelings are real. Actions need discernment. The “buffer” is everything—pause, breathe, don’t send the text/email, don’t escalate harm. There’s no one hero coming to fix it. The through-line is collective: community, connection, mutual support. Discernment is a 2026 superpower. Not everything served to you is true. Learn what “yes” feels like in your body—and what “no” feels like too. Stay human. Love doesn’t mean rolling over. Love means refusing to multiply fear with fear. Sarah (20:21): “There’s not going to be any one person that is going to be the answer… it’s going to be everyone coming together as community.” Jane (49:17): “This is the year of authenticity… knowing what’s real and what’s true… you don’t have to defend it or… punch anybody, but you still get to know what’s real.” Michael Newton Journey of Soul’s Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

    Spiritual FOMO is Real: How to Stop Hustling for Signs & Start Receiving

    In this Sunday Solo, Sarah explores a surprisingly common pattern: chasing spiritual highs—those goosebump moments, wild signs, mind-blowing readings, and peak metaphysical experiences—and how that chase can actually pull you out of connection. If you’ve ever received a powerful sign and immediately asked for “one more,” or booked reading after reading hoping to recreate the same wow factor, this episode is your gentle reset. Sarah shares a profound divine-feminine encounter that shifted her relationship with fear, surrender, and self-talk, plus a Stonehenge story that reframes spirituality as creation and integration, not constant fireworks. The through-line: the point isn’t how high you can go in a moment—it’s how you let the moment reshape the way you grieve, love, and live. What You’ll Learn / Key Takeaways Spiritual FOMO is a thing. Wanting “proof” can quickly become bargaining, doubt, and hustling for the next hit of magic. Chasing pulls you out of connection. The more you demand replication, the harder it can be to receive what’s quietly here now. Integration is the upgrade. The real gift of a spiritual high is how it changes your everyday choices, self-talk, and capacity. Surrender is often the doorway. “Turning points” tend to arrive when you soften fear and allow the experience to move through you. Readings can comfort—but they aren’t a cure for grief. Mediumship can offer evidence and love, while grief still needs time, support, and gentleness. Don’t recreate old magic—be available for new magic. Your guides (and life) may be inviting you to build something new, not relive what was. Relish the good the way you “lock in” the bad. Take a snapshot of the beautiful moments—let them soak into your being so you can return to the feeling without chasing repetition. Space creates capacity. Simple practices (meditation, reducing numbing behaviors, slowing the scroll, easing codependent “rescue” habits) can widen the channel. You don’t have to “try” to be spiritual. You’re already spirit—whole, complete—and connection often deepens when you stop striving. “The point isn’t how high we can go in that moment… it’s how we let it reshape the way we live.” “We don’t have to try to be spiritual. Everyone is spiritual by nature. We are spirit.” “Coming online… has to happen at a pace that actually lets us live it—where we can integrate it.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

    Jamie Butler on Everyday Mediumship, Trance Channeling & Trusting Your Intuition

    HOLIDAY RE-RELEASE 🎁 We’re taking a short holiday pause, but we couldn’t resist bringing back one of our all-time favorite conversations. Originally released in Season Two, this episode features the incredible Jamie Butler who has played a meaningful role in Jane’s mediumship journey — and whose work continues to beautifully normalize intuitive and spiritual abilities. If you’re discovering this conversation for the first time, welcome. And if you’re returning, there’s so much here that’s worth a second (or third) listen. Jane has a full fangirl moment at the top of this episode — and honestly, it’s deserved. In this conversation, Jane and Sarah are joined by Jamie Butler, widely known as The Everyday Medium, but she's so dang extraordinary. Jamie walks us through her path from being a naturally gifted medium as a child to fully embracing her calling as a teacher, which she describes as her true passion. Together, they explore why normalizing mediumship and intuitive abilities is essential — and why trusting your own lived experiences with intuition and spirit matters more than chasing someone else’s definition of “how it should work.” The conversation dives deep into trance channeling, including what it actually is, the different levels of channeling (yes, including incorporation), and why most people have already experienced channeling in everyday life — even if they’ve never called it that. Jamie breaks down how she teaches others to enter a trance state safely, consciously, and with clear boundaries. Jamie and Sarah also connect on the importance of belief systems, self-care, and energetic boundaries — emphasizing that intuition doesn’t require burnout, sacrifice, or pushing past your nervous system’s limits. Grounded, expansive, and reassuring, this episode is an invitation to see mediumship not as something rare or “other,” but as a natural human ability that shows up in everyday moments — if we’re willing to trust it. 🌟 Memorable Quotes “My passion is teaching. Watching people wake up and have their light come online — it’s like no other feeling.” — Jamie Butler “Using your intuitive ability is natural and can be applied in everyday decision-making.” — Jamie Butler “What you believe in is your own truth, and knowledge is your only limit.” — Jamie Butler 🔗 Links & Resources Medium Curious Website: https://www.mediumcurious.com Jane’s Website: https://www.janemorganmedium.com Sarah’s Website: https://www.sarahrathke.com Jamie Butler’s Website: https://www.jamiebutlermedium.com Jamie's classes mentioned in the break: https://jamiebutlermedium.com/classes/ Clair club Winter Edition!

    Kim Rhodes on Mediumship, Intuition & Why Nothing About It Is Supernatural

    🎄 Holiday Re-Release Actor Kim Rhodes (Supernatural, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) joins Medium Curious to talk about intuition, mediumship, psychic experiences, and what it really means to be alive. While the Medium Curious gals take a short holiday pause, we’re thrilled to bring back one of our most beloved conversations from Season One — originally released on March 6, 2024. In this episode, Sarah and Jane sit down with longtime friend, actor, and truth-teller Kim Rhodes for a candid, funny, and deeply grounding conversation about spirituality without the fluff. Kim explores whether mediumship is actually supernatural at all, or simply a natural part of the human experience — and shares wild, heartfelt stories from her own intuitive life along the way. Expect laughter, honesty, and more than a few truth bombs (delivered in classic Kim Rhodes style). From light waves and Akashic Records to sobriety, joy, and the full spectrum of being human, this episode is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t mean transcending life — it means fully inhabiting it. This conversation is so fun thanks to Kim’s infectious energy and grounded wisdom shining through as she reminds us that to be alive is to love. ✨ Episode Highlights Why mediumship may be natural rather than supernatural Pain and suffering as catalysts for growth Everyone’s innate capacity for intuition What it means to be a “light wave” Kim’s first experiences communicating with the dead Her soul’s purpose (per the Akashic Records): JOY Why sobriety and spiritual growth don’t exempt us from being human 💬 Memorable Quotes “I am convinced love exists and is running the show…” — Kim Rhodes “Our brain is our calendar — it gets us from Point A to Point B — but living from the heart is where it’s at.” — Sarah Rathke “We are lucky to be on this earth.” — Jane Morgan 🔗 Links & Resources Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

    The Beliefs Holding You Back (And How to Let Them Go!)

    In this final Sunday Solo episode of the year, Jane Morgan reflects on the beliefs we inherit, absorb, and unknowingly allow to run our inner operating systems—long after they’ve stopped serving us. Through a deeply personal story from her own therapeutic and spiritual work, Jane explores how mistaken beliefs can calcify into powerful internal rules that shape our reactions, relationships, intuition, and sense of safety. She shares a profound moment of insight around a core belief she discovered—that being “wrong” meant danger—and how, with support, she was able to release it. This episode is an invitation to slow down during the holiday season, take a compassionate look at the stories guiding your life, and gently ask: Is this belief still true? Rather than offering fixes or formulas, Jane encourages curiosity, softness, and self-trust—especially when listening to intuition feels harder than pleasing others. With reflections on meditation, two-way prayer, intuition, inner child work, and honoring your own “no,” this episode is a warm fireside companion for the darker days leading up to the solstice. As Medium Curious heads into a short winter break, Jane also shares what’s coming in the new year—including exciting guests, a new round of Clair Club, and an upcoming Higher Calling cohort.   ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: How mistaken beliefs form—and why they often feel impossible to remove A personal story of uncovering a deeply embedded belief around being “wrong” Why many beliefs once protected us, even if they now create suffering How moments of emotional upset can point to hidden belief systems The idea of “snapshotting” reactions to gently investigate what’s underneath How meditation, intuition, and spiritual support can reveal stuck stories Using two-way prayer or intuitive writing to access inner guidance Trusting your intuition—even when it disappoints others Why honoring yourself isn’t selfish (and may be long overdue) 🕯️ Reflection Questions for Listeners What belief might be quietly running my life right now? Where did this story come from—and is it still true? What belief once kept me safe, but now feels heavy or outdated? What might happen if I held this belief more lightly? 🌙 Resources & Mentions Medium Curious Podcast Elizabeth Gilbert’s Letters from Love (two-way prayer practice) Reflections on intuition, guides, angels, and spiritual support Perdita Finn episode (referenced earlier in the season) 🌟 What’s Coming Up Clair Club (starting mid-January): A six-week intuitive development experience with brand-new exercises and community connection. 🎁 Giveaway alert!

    How to Stop People-Pleasing and Start Channeling ~ Platform Mediumship with Lauren Robertson

    Lauren Robertson—evidential medium since age 16 and author of The Medium in Manolos—returns to talk about what it really takes to do public demonstrations of mediumship (“platform mediumship”). She shares why confidence is built through exposure, how to reframe anxiety into excitement, and how platform work differs from 1:1 readings (snappier evidence, more communal impact, and clear energy management). Lauren also opens up about skeptics, the role of inner work in becoming a stronger medium, and why ethical compensation matters—especially to prevent burnout and exploitation. The episode closes with Lauren’s core advice: be yourself, because platform mediumship isn’t performance—it’s sacred service. Confidence comes from exposure, not perfection. The fastest way through the fear is repeating the experience until your nervous system learns it’s safe. Reframe nerves as excitement. Anxiety often shows up when you add pressure about how you’ll look or whether you’ll “mess it up.” Platform mediumship is different from 1:1 readings. Public demos need quick, clear, evidential messages that lift the whole room—whether or not everyone gets read. Use “communal evidence,” especially objects. Describing an object someone has in their bag/pocket can create a shared moment of awe for the entire audience. Stop people-pleasing; start energy management. You’re not there to make everyone happy—you’re a channel for Spirit, and the audience is part of the energetic circuit. Call out skeptics with vulnerability. Naming what they might be thinking can disarm defensiveness and lower the emotional temperature in the room. Inner work strengthens mediumship. Healing shame, old beliefs, trauma, and people-pleasing patterns can directly improve courage, clarity, and stamina on the platform. Money + mediumship can be ethical and sacred. Fair compensation helps mediums stay resourced, confident, and less vulnerable to exploitation—while still leaving room to serve for free at times. Mediumship may be a spectrum. Like any skill, people vary in openness, compassion, creativity—and the role mediumship plays can still be meaningful even if someone isn’t meant to demonstrate publicly.   “When we feel anxious or nervous… what we actually really feel is excited.” “The audience… they are a battery, they are an energy source…” “You are not there to please anybody. You are there as a mouthpiece… of the spirit world.” “You should be able to step away from the platform feeling energised…” “Mediumship isn’t a performance, it’s a sacred calling.” Lauren Robertson – Course: Platform Perfection: Listener discount 10% off with code MEDIUM at checkout Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

    Presence Makes You Psychic (Yes, Really): How to Read Energy 101

    In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn’t arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father’s apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure.   Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you’re waiting for fireworks, you’ll miss the “pops.” Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language. Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment. Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn’t obey ceilings). Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades. Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner). Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.” Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language.   “Expectation kills openness.”   “For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.”   Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.
