Talking to the Dead, Judging the Living with David the Medium

Pop Therapy

Show Notes

What happens when someone swaps corporate suits and criminal prosecution for psychic mediumship… and still has strong opinions about the Real Housewives?

In this episode of Pop Therapy, I sit down with David The Medium for a conversation that moves between the spiritual and the wildly human - intuition, the afterlife, grief… and yes, Bravo.

David shares his journey from the structure of corporate law and counter terrorism, to fully stepping into mediumship, and what it actually takes to trust your intuition (hint: most of us are ignoring it). We unpack how he connects with loved ones who have passed, what spirit communication feels like from his side, and the bigger questions around death, reincarnation and what may - or may not - come next.

But this isn’t all ethereal.

We also get into grief, trauma and the emotional weight of holding space for others… while still being a person in the world. And in a turn I deeply enjoyed, David reveals his very real, very unfiltered relationship with the Real Housewives - the obsession, the frustration, the “why can’t I stop watching?” of it all.

This episode is equal parts grounding, mind-bending and unexpectedly funny - a reminder that you can be deeply spiritual… and still lose it over Housewives casting.

If you’ve ever wondered about intuition, life after death, or why reality TV hits so hard - this one’s for you.
