  • She Saw Spirits for Years Before Knowing She Was a Medium -Tammy Tocheniuk

    She Saw Spirits for Years Before Knowing She Was a Medium -Tammy Tocheniuk
    Apr 22 2026
    What happens when a woman who's been casually watching spirits walk through her bedroom walls for a decade finally learns she's a medium? For Tammy Tocheniuk, it was less of a revelation and more of a remembering. In this episode, Sarah and Jane sit down with the psychic medium and animal communicator who built an extraordinary practice almost entirely on her own terms, with zero formal training and zero apologies for it. Tammy shares how her gifts unfolded in layers, from reading the energy of adults in a room as a child, to waking up in her twenties with multiple spirits standing at the foot of her bed, to accidentally launching her mediumship career by helping a grieving coworker connect with a friend who had been murdered. She talks honestly about what it cost her, including adrenal fatigue, flashbacks from criminal cases, and a full year off from all things spiritual, and about why pivoting to animal communication changed everything. This conversation goes deep into what it actually feels like to communicate with animals in spirit versus animals who are still alive, why animals have a profoundly different relationship with death than humans do, how Tammy navigates one of the hardest conversations a pet owner can have (is it time?), and the reading that brought a husband to tears when his dog remembered the engagement ring around his neck. Tammy also gets candid about normalizing her gifts for her three sons, keeping a regular day job as a cover story, and why doing it her own way, without the usual cookie-cutter mediumship school training, turned out to be exactly right for her. Key Takeaways Psychic and mediumship gifts often emerge naturally over time rather than all at once. For many intuitives, the abilities unfold in layers across childhood, young adulthood, and beyond, whether you're actively seeking them out or not.Sometimes the most validating moment in a medium's journey isn't a dramatic reading. It's simply hearing the right word, the right label, and feeling something click into place like a remembering.Intense mediumship work, especially around trauma, crime, or grief, can lead to real physical and emotional exhaustion. Burnout is real, and stepping back, even for an extended period, is not giving up. It's part of the practice.Setting boundaries around the kind of work you take on is not a limitation on your gifts. It's how you sustain them. Knowing what you're willing to do and what you're not is part of developing as a medium.Not having formal training has both gifts and costs. Your voice stays your own, but mentorship and community matter, especially when it comes to protecting your energy and knowing when to ask for support.Animal communication and psychic work tend to require less energetic output than evidential mediumship. If you're feeling drained, exploring these modalities might offer a gentler on-ramp or a much-needed reset.Animals can be powerful messengers in readings, even when the session is focused on a person in spirit. Don't be surprised when they show up and steal the show.When communicating with animals around end-of-life decisions, the most important thing you can offer a grieving pet owner is peace, not a verdict. Meeting people where they are matters as much as the message itself.Animals have a profoundly different relationship with death than humans do. Their acceptance and presence can be a gift not just to their owners, but to the mediums and communicators who work with them.Normalizing your gifts in your everyday life, with your family, your kids, your language, helps create an environment where intuition is treated as natural rather than strange or scary. "I would wake up at night and there would be a spirit in my bedroom. Sometimes two, three, four of them at one time. And I call it seeing 3D. I was seeing them like a piece of furniture." "I rarely have an animal that's not accepting of death. It's very different than people. They seem to understand intuitively that this is a transition." "Their messages are fairly simple and straightforward. A lot of times, people just want to know: are they still there, and do they remember me?" If This Episode Resonated…Share it with a friend who’s been feeling the shift too. Or send it to someone who needs the reminder: You’re doing it perfectly!

  • How Near-Death Experiences Can Transform You (Even If You've Never Had One)

    How Near-Death Experiences Can Transform You (Even If You've Never Had One)
    Apr 19 2026
    This week's Sunday solo starts with something that caught Sarah's attention in the news — the Artemis moon mission and the astronauts who came back changed. Looking at Earth from space, small enough to disappear behind a thumb, they returned with more interest in connection and meaning. Researchers have a name for it: the overview effect. And it got Sarah wondering — what else can crack us open like that without requiring us to leave the atmosphere? That question leads her into a deep dive on near-death experiences: what they are, what the research actually shows, who's done that research (hello, Dr. Bruce Greyson and his 50 years at UVA), and why NDEs have been quietly moving from the fringe into legitimate scientific conversation. She covers what experiencers commonly report — the altered time, the life review, the overwhelming and unconditional love — and the striking aftereffects that tend to follow people home: less fear of death, more compassion, deeper purpose, heightened intuition, and a sense of mission that doesn't fade. And then she makes her case for mediumship, because here's the thing: the love that pours through in a reading? It sounds a lot like what NDEers describe on the other side. NDEs tear the veil open in one dramatic, involuntary moment. Mediumship, and any serious spiritual practice, does the same thing more slowly, more deliberately, and as a practice you can return to. And here's the part that might surprise you: you don't even have to have an NDE to be changed by one. Studying them does it too. Which means this episode already counts. Key Takeaways The overview effect is real and it's been documented. Astronauts who see Earth from space come back fundamentally changed — less focused on division, more oriented toward connection and meaning. NDEs produce the same shift. You don't have to go to space or to the edge of death to access it, but it helps to know it's possible.Near-death experiences are not hallucinations. Thanks largely to 50 years of research by Dr. Bruce Greyson at the University of Virginia, NDEs are now a legitimate scientific field. The Greyson NDE scale has been translated into 20 languages and used in hundreds of studies. This is not fringe territory anymore.What NDEers come back knowing reads like a blueprint for a spiritually evolved life. Loss of fear of death, heightened compassion, less attachment to status or material gain, deeper intuition, a sense of purpose — these are the aftereffects. And they tend to deepen over time, not fade.You don't have to die to be transformed by an NDE. Researcher Kenneth Ring found that students who simply studied NDEs were changed in the same ways as experiencers. Dr. Penny Sartori found the same thing after 17 years as an ICU nurse. Learning about them does something. This episode counts.Mediumship is doing deliberately what an NDE does accidentally. The overwhelming unconditional love that NDEers describe on the other side is the same energy that moves through a reading. It's the same landscape, accessed differently — slower, more intentional, and available as a daily practice.

  • When Music Becomes Mediumship: Chris Dingman on Sound, Spirit, and the Vibraphone

    When Music Becomes Mediumship: Chris Dingman on Sound, Spirit, and the Vibraphone
    Apr 15 2026

    *We're dusting off one of our favorites and putting it back on the turntable. This re-release is getting a second spin during our Spring Break.*

    Chris Dingman is a vibraphonist who shares his journey into music, the transformative power of sound, and how he surprisingly found mediumship. He discusses the unique qualities of the vibraphone, his experiences with grief, and how he uses music as a healing tool. The conversation also delves into his Bardo Bath events and the profound experiences of sound and color that accompany his music. The crew discusses spiritual experiences that inspire creativity, and the importance of curiosity in understanding one's mediumistic abilities. Chris talks about how he channels music and ultimately gets to why he loves playing music so much; it is the thrill of exploring the unknown in music creation.

    Takeaways

    • Transformational music sessions are designed for healing and reflection.
    • Grief can manifest in many forms and deserves space for processing.
    • Sound can create a liminal space for transcendence.
    • Mediumship can be explored through music and personal experiences.
    • The work of mediumship can be healing for both the practitioner and the recipient.
    • Curiosity drives personal growth and understanding in mediumship.
    • The journey of creation is often more valuable than the final product.
    • Community plays a vital role in artistic endeavors.
    • Exploration in music can lead to unexpected paths.

    Sound Bites

    "I started seeing spirits while playing music."

    "The work heals you."

    "It's about the journey, not the product."
