The Connected Spirit Podcast
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.

There’s a moment most of us don’t talk about—the quiet, gritty middle of the spiritual path. The part where everything feels heavy, not magical. Where we wonder, “Am I really meant for this?” In today’s episode, Courtney shares her raw experience of navigating these shadows: losing friendships, leaving the church, and questioning her path—yet always finding her way back to spirit’s quiet power.
It starts with a whisper—an inner knowing, a quiet tug you can’t quite explain. For Connie Gable, it began in childhood with dreams that spoke truths before they happened, and a Tarot reader who came to the house long before it was “normal” to talk about these things out loud.
In this episode, I sit down with Connie—nurse practitioner, empath, and one of the radi...
There’s a moment in this episode when Rickie Avitan describes her time in palliative care—watching a soul leave the body—and everything stills.
You feel it. The truth of the unseen world isn’t something to be proven. It’s something to be remembered. In this soul-deep conversation with psychic trance medium and spiritual healer Rickie Avitan, we explore trance as a sacred state of presence, not performance.

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 te...
You were trained to get the name.
The relationship.
The cause of death.
But if that’s where your reading ends, you’re missing the part that actually matters.
In this episode, Courtney breaks down why evidence is just the entry point—not the purpose—and h...
You’ve felt it before…

You feel drained after your readings and don’t know how to “turn it off”…
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 decide...
You don’t need another certification to feel ready.
You need to remember who you already are.
In this honest, soul-deep conversation, I’m joined by medium, trance healer, and poet Jennifer Rose to talk about what happens when your spiritual development becomes more about doing than being.
We dive into what it actually looks like to step off the hamster wheel of “more classes, more training, more proof”—and drop into trust,...
If you're doing all the "right" things — sitting in the power, reading the books, showing up for class — but your mediumship still feels stuck, you're not broken.
You're battling something way deeper than technique: your mind.
In this soul-to-soul episode of The Connected Spirit Podcast, Courtney Dawson reveals the hidden reason Spirit feels distant — and exactly how to rebuild the trust you've been craving.
Inside, you’ll learn:

What happens when everything cracks open
your health, your plans, your sense of safety—
and Spirit suddenly feels… silent?
That’s what I’m talking about in this raw, real episode.

If being gifted was enough to be fully booked, your calendar wouldn’t be empty.
You’re showing up. You’re posting. You’re giving free readings. So why are you still stuck in an exhausting cycle of proving yourself, discounting your work, and hearing, “I can’t afford it” instead of, “Where’s your booking link?”
Because you’ve been following a business model that was never designed for mediums.
