What comes to mind when you picture a psychic medium? Incense? Crystal balls? Whispery voices?

David is none of those things.

Before becoming one of Australia’s most sought-after mediums, he was a corporate counter-terrorism analyst — logical, sceptical and deeply uninterested in “woo woo.” Then a single reading in suburban Melbourne changed everything.

In this conversation, David shares the story behind his unlikely spiritual awakening and the trauma that sharpened his intuition. We talk about what the afterlife really feels like, why he believes nothing is a coincidence, and his beautiful philosophy that life on earth is a classroom for the soul.

He opens up about growing up as a highly intuitive child without realising it, coming out as a teenager in conservative Melbourne, his parents’ separation, and how grief, heartbreak and “real life” became the very experiences that trained his spiritual gifts.

We also explore:

• How to strengthen your own intuition (and why everyone has it)

• What it feels like to receive messages from spirit

• Reincarnation, soul contracts and the “waiting room” he calls heaven

• Why trauma often unlocks psychic gifts

• How to recognise signs, synchronicities and déjà vu

• The surprising connection between spirituality and self-development

It’s a grounded, thoughtful and surprisingly practical look at intuition, energy, grief and what it means to be alive. Whether you’re deeply spiritual or gently sceptical, this episode might change the way you see the world — and yourself.
