A Wake Up Call

Magic in the Mess: Mediumship, Intuition and Trusting Yourself (with Jess the Medium)

A Wake Up Call

Show Notes

When you stop looking to be saved, life opens up. In this episode, we sit down with Jess the Medium for a conversation that’s part spiritual, part science, and fully grounded in what we’re actually here to do: wake up, trust ourselves, and live with more ease.

We talk skeptics, signs, near-death experiences, grief, dementia, forgiveness, and the “mic drop” moments that remind you… you already know more than you think. Plus, Jess shares practical ways to strengthen intuition (without turning your life into a crystal shop scavenger hunt).

You’ll learn What mediumship is (and isn’t), and why skepticism is allowed Why grief, trauma, and “rock bottom” can open a new portal of intuition The real reason we keep waiting for validation (and how to stop) How to build self-trust with one simple daily check-in practice Why “the magic is in the mess” is more than a cute quote How to work with signs without spiralling into confirmation bias A powerful reframe: you don’t need saving, you need trusting

🎧 Hit play and remember – you can’t give from an empty cup. It’s time to refill yours.
