In this conversation I’m joined by medium, tutor and demonstrator Donna Barker for a clear, grounded look at what real development actually takes: discipline, patience and trust. Donna shares her late awakening at 36, why skepticism can be healthy, and how the spirit world works through our imagination rather than around it. We unpack sitting in the power (solo vs. with spirit), the difference between passive states and active mental mediumship, and practical ways to bring relationship and specific evidence earlier in a contact.

We also explore the inner work - self-honesty, forgiveness, and soul evolution - and the very human question: Is it me or spirit? Donna’s coaching on focus, not chasing “yeses,” and learning more from the misses than the hits is gold for developing mediums at every stage.

What we cover

• “Is it me or spirit?”- making peace with imagination as the instrument
• Sitting in the Power: mechanics, aura, and building mental discipline
• Active vs. passive states (why too much calm can stall a contact)
• Getting relationship first and letting detail stay specific
• Trust, patience and partnering 50/50 with the spirit world
• The soul’s journey: life lessons, love, and growth over time

If you’re developing - or returning to - your mediumship, this one will steady your feet and lift your faith.
