In this inspiring episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes International Scottish Evidential Psychic Medium, Mentor, and Spiritual teacher Karen Docherty for a heartfelt conversation about mediumship, healing, grief, intuition, and Spirit.
Karen shares how her connection with Spirit began in childhood and how loved ones communicate through feelings, images, voices, impressions, and meaningful evidence during a mediumship reading.
Together, Maria and Karen explore a powerful question: "Is mediumship really healing?" They discuss how evidence of life after death can bring comfort and hope, while reminding us that mediumship isn't only about connecting with those who have passed—it's also about learning how to live fully in the present.
They also explore grief, acceptance, personal growth, and why not everything that happens in life needs a spiritual explanation. Sometimes life is simply difficult, and healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel, accept where we are, and move forward.
Most importantly, Maria and Karen discuss the ethics of mediumship. A medium should never take away your power or make your life decisions for you. True spiritual work should encourage you to trust yourself, listen to your intuition, and remember that the power to choose your path remains within you.
