Ever wondered if you’re psychic… or even a Medium? I believe Mediumship isn’t just for the “gifted.” It’s within all of us. Including YOU. Welcome to my Podcast Diary where I share the "weird", wonderful journey of discovering you’re a Medium. I’ll be sharing my own real-life stories and experiences that led me to stop second-guessing myself and fully trust in my connection. You’ll also hear soulful interviews with others who’ve uncovered their own mediumship abilities, often by accident and decided to follow the nudge to explore the possibilities that lie within them.

    Ep22 How I Lost My Marriage and Found My Purpose

    What happens when the life you've built no longer feels aligned, but you're too afraid to walk away? In this powerful conversation, Em sits down with psychic medium, Akashic Records reader, and spiritual mentor Samantha Liew (Samantha the Clair) to explore the unexpected journey that led her into the spiritual world. From hearing a mysterious female voice throughout childhood and dismissing her intuitive gifts for years, to navigating a difficult marriage, discovering her husband's affair, and experiencing a profound spiritual awakening, Samantha shares how one of the darkest periods of her life became the catalyst for everything she has today. Together, Em and Samantha explore intuition, spiritual awakenings, trusting the signs from Spirit, and how life's biggest challenges often become the doorway to our greatest purpose. If you've ever questioned your intuition, ignored the nudges, or felt like life was falling apart around you, this episode is a reminder that sometimes Spirit is quietly guiding you toward something far greater than you can currently see. What You'll Hear: • Samantha's childhood experiences hearing a mysterious female voice calling her name • Why so many intuitive people convince themselves they're "making it all up" • The spiritual signs that appeared before her life changed dramatically • How her divorce became the catalyst for a powerful spiritual awakening • The surprising way Spirit revealed her husband's affair • Learning to trust intuitive nudges after years of self-doubt • How tarot became the first doorway into developing her gifts • Discovering the Akashic Records and unlocking deeper psychic abilities • The leap from corporate life into full-time spiritual work • Why the universe often responds once we make a clear decision • Spiritual awakenings, healing, and finding purpose after heartbreak • The importance of creating safe spaces for people exploring their gifts • How our greatest challenges often become our greatest teachers • Following the breadcrumbs Spirit places along our path Who For: This episode is for anyone who: • Has experienced a spiritual awakening • Feels stuck between what is familiar and what is calling them forward • Has ignored their intuition and wishes they had listened sooner • Is navigating a major life transition, separation, or divorce • Feels drawn to develop their psychic or spiritual gifts • Wants reassurance that life can become more aligned after difficult endings • Loves hearing authentic stories of transformation and spiritual growth Connect with Samantha:Instagram & TikTok: @samanthatheclairWebsite: www.samanthatheclair.comEmail: admin@samanthatheclair.com Resources + Connect With Em 🌐 https://emstawicki.com/ ✨ Explore your spiritual gifts with me: https://emstawicki.com/mentoring Listener Invitation: Have a story from the Spirit World?

    Ep21 Overcoming Life's Challenges through Spiritual Growth

    In this episode, I’m joined by Astrid Boot a spiritual healer and self-described “spiritual detective” with over 20 years of experience. We dive into her journey of gradual awakening, learning energetic boundaries the hard way, and navigating some of life’s most intense transitions—from divorce guided by intuitive knowing, to loss, illness, and rebuilding her life from the ground up. This conversation is a reminder that awakening isn’t always one big moment… sometimes it’s a series of quiet shifts that change everything. And no matter what you move through, there is always a way back to yourself. What You’ll Hear: Why spiritual awakening isn’t always one defining moment (and how it can unfold gradually)The moment Astrid realized she had no energetic boundaries—and how that changed everythingHow energy exchange shows up in everyday relationships (especially family dynamics)The connection between awareness and reclaiming your powerFollowing intuitive guidance—even when it makes zero logical senseNavigating massive life changes: divorce, motherhood, relocation, and lossWhat happens when your body finally slows down after survival modeThe importance of creativity, movement, and somatic practices in healingWhy self-work is ongoing—even as a practitionerHow Astrid works with clients to identify root causes and release energetic blockagesWho This Episode Is For: Anyone who feels overwhelmed by other people’s energyPeople navigating grief, loss, or major life transitionsThose questioning if they’ve had a “spiritual awakening”Aspiring or developing mediums learning to understand energetic boundariesAnyone craving a deeper connection to themselves, their intuition, and their own healingConnect With Astrid: YouTube: @astridbootspiritualhealer8499 Instagram: @astridboot9 Facebook business page: https://www.facebook.com/AstridBootHealer/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/astrid-boot-06370bb7/ Resources + Connect With Emhttps://emstawicki.com/ Explore your spiritual gifts with mehttps://emstawicki.com/mentoring Listener Invitation: Have a story from the Spirit World?

    Ep20 When a Profound Angelic Encounter Redirects Your Life

    In this episode, I’m joined by Kathy Lather, a psychic reader, healer, spiritual teacher, and author who works closely with the angelic realm. We dive into her early intuitive development, the powerful role her grandmother played in keeping her gifts open, and the life-altering moment she encountered Archangel Michael—a moment that completely shifted the trajectory of her life.

    Ep19 When Readings Cause More Harm Than Healing

    This episode dives deep into the real responsibility of being a medium. We unpack what happens when mediums avoid ownership, rely too heavily on the sitter’s energy, or cross ethical lines that can leave lasting impact. From being told your energy is “flat,” to the dangerous effects of fear-based readings, this conversation challenges the way mediumship is often practiced. We also go into the practical side — how to open and close a reading, how to hold authority in your connection, and how to blend with spirit in a way that brings through real presence, not just information. This is about stepping into mediumship as a healing modality, not performance. Why the connection is always the medium’s responsibility — not the sitter’sThe difference between psychic reading vs mediumship (and why mixing them creates confusion)What’s actually happening when someone says a sitter is “hard to read”How lack of self-responsibility shows up in mediumshipThe subtle (but critical) difference between facts vs presence in a readingWhy some readings can create harm instead of healingA real example of how fear-based information can deeply affect someone’s lifeThe importance of ethical boundaries and emotional safety in readingsHow to open a reading in a way that builds trust and connectionHow to close a reading with intention, care, and completenessWhat “blending with spirit” actually means — and how to feel itWhy your job isn’t just to prove spirit… it’s to bring them to lifeThis episode is for you if: You’re developing your mediumship and want to do it properly, ethically, and powerfullyYou’ve ever doubted yourself because of feedback from othersYou’re ready to stop outsourcing your authority and own your connectionYou want to move beyond surface-level readings into true healing workYou feel called to raise the standard of mediumship — not follow outdated rules🌐 https://emstawicki.com/podcast Explore your spiritual gifts with me → https://emstawicki.com/mentoring Have a story from the Spirit World?

    This episode is a collection of real-life listener stories—moments where spirit showed up in undeniable, sometimes subtle, sometimes impossible-to-ignore ways.

    Ep16 Beyond Love & Light: Living a Spirit-Led Life

    In this episode of Diary of a Medium, Em chats with Michaela Graham — a generational psychic medium, Reiki Master, and Akashic Records reader joining from Ireland. Together they go deep into what it really means to live a spirit-led life (not the “once a week” kind), how mediumship can come online through childhood experiences, why boundaries are the difference between clarity and burnout, and how nervous system regulation is the missing link for so many gifted readers. They also share what’s coming for their Bali retreat collaboration, Awaken the Spirit Within — a high-vibe, real, grounded spiritual experience designed for people who want depth, growth, and real connection (without needing to be a perfect meditator to belong). What You’ll Hear: Bullet Points Michaela’s first spirit experiences at age 5–6, including speaking to a spirit under the stairs (and later learning the history of the house). How intuitive abilities can fade when you’re told “it’s just your imagination,” and why they often return later as a “remembering.” The moment spirit came back loudly in college: waking up and seeing a man standing at the top of the stairs. When spirit activity ramps up fast: why “always on” mediumship isn’t sustainable, and how it can blur your clarity. The power of permissions + ethics: why Michaela won’t approach strangers with messages without consent. What boundaries with spirit actually look like: “When I’m working, I’m working. When I’m not, I’m not.” Nervous system regulation as the missing piece for confidence, consistency, and clean readings. The difference between learning about mediumship vs getting better at mediumship (hint: practice is the path). A line you’ll want to steal: “Get it wrong until it feels right.” Living spirit-led in real life: micro rituals, energetic hygiene, showers to wash energy off, grounding, and checking “is this mine or someone else’s?” Friendship + alignment: how spirituality can naturally shift relationships and shed what no longer matches your frequency. Bali retreat teaser: Awaken the Spirit Within — workshops, healing, connection, laughter, and spiritual growth without the “you must meditate perfectly” pressure. Who for:This episode is for you if you… Feel deeply, pick up people’s energy fast, and want to stop feeling overwhelmed in the world. Are developing your mediumship and want stronger boundaries and clearer connection. Struggle with self-doubt, fear of getting it wrong, or nerves reading in front of people. Want spirituality to feel real, embodied, and integrated — not like a performance. Are curious about nervous system work as the foundation for stronger intuitive ability. Want a grounded but expansive conversation about spirit communication, ethics, and living your truth unapologetically.
