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.

With decades of experience as a nurse, teacher, and healer, Rickie speaks to the courage it takes to face yourself, layer by layer—and the spiritual clarity that comes when we stop pushing and start surrendering.

This is for anyone curious about trance, anyone walking through healing, or anyone who’s ever wondered: is spirit really that close? Whether you’re a developing medium or simply aching for reconnection, this episode reminds you—you’re not crazy. You’re waking up.

“When you develop trust in yourself, you develop trust in spirit.” - Rickie Avitan

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 tell the story I didn’t plan to: how the scans showed tumors in both ovaries, how I braced to lose one, and how Spirit reminded me—clear as anything—that we’re not separated from our truth. We’re just conditioned to forget it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things and still not feeling connected to your gifts, this is the deeper conversation. The one where we stop performing and start coming home.

If this stirred something, don’t journal it. Just sit with it. Let it land. And if someone in your world’s been second-guessing their own path, pass this along. Sometimes the reminder isn’t ours to keep.

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 how to follow Spirit’s energy into emotional truth, healing, and connection.

Whether you’re newly developing or years in, this conversation will reframe your understanding of what real mediumship is for—and how to let the message land with power, depth, and heart.

01:35 – Why identifying the communicator isn’t the point of mediumship
04:25 – How emotional truth gets lost when you stay stuck in the facts
07:40 – What Spirit actually wants to say (and why most mediums miss it)
11:10 – When the link shifts or the power drops—what to do
13:55 – Asking Spirit: “Why did you come through?”
16:45 – Why some communicators won’t “speak clearly”
19:30 – Reminiscing as evidence—how shared memory brings connection
23:05 – Absorbing energy vs. blending emotionally—how to tell the difference
26:15 – Navigating trauma and difficult messages with integrity
30:00 – Why your psychic senses aren’t separate from mediumship
33:10 – Letting go of performance so Spirit can actually lead
