In this heartfelt episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes Evidential Psychic Medium and Grief Companion Cody Mark for an open and grounded conversation about mediumship, grief, healing, Spirit communication, ethics, and what it really means to hold space for someone who is grieving. Cody shares how his spiritual journey began in his teenage years and how a difficult period in his life ultimately brought him back to mediumship and a deeper sense of purpose.
Maria and Cody explore one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of mediumship: understanding grief. They discuss why grief has no timeline, why everyone experiences loss differently, and how easily people can unintentionally judge the way someone grieves.
They also talk about what not to say to someone who has experienced a loss and why sometimes the greatest gift we can offer is simply our presence. As two working mediums, Maria and Cody also discuss the responsibility that comes with sitting across from someone who may be deeply vulnerable.
Mediumship isn't only about delivering evidence from a loved one in Spirit—it is also about compassion, ethics, boundaries, and creating a safe space for the person receiving the reading. ✨

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.

In this episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes back evidential medium Michael Christopher for a grounded conversation about some of the biggest myths and fears surrounding mediumship. Together, they explore spirit attachments, evil spirits, possession, protection, meditation, signs from loved ones, grief, healing, and developing mediumship.
Maria and Michael also discuss the importance of ethics, discernment, and questioning what you're told. Mediums are human, readings aren't always 100% accurate, and spiritual development should never be rooted in fear.
Key Takeaways:
Always ask questions. Trust your own discernment and intuition. Stay curious, be a skeptic, and never give your power away to anyone—medium, psychic, teacher, or otherwise.

**DISCLAIMER:** Throughout this conversation, we never claim to know everything—because we don't. We are sharing our own personal experiences, perspectives, and understanding at this point in time, because ultimately, our own experiences are what we can authentically speak to. We encourage you to use your own discernment, ask questions, and trust what feels right for you. It is healthy to question everything, regardless of someone's teacher, title, credentials, or the service they provide. Our perspectives may also change as we continue to learn, grow, and experience more. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't. Never give your power away to another person.

In this fascinating and grounded episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes professional Psychic Medium, Trance Speaker, and Trance Healer Sylvester Allen for an honest conversation about mediumship, trance, spiritual development, and overcoming the fear surrounding Spirit communication.
Sylvester shares his experiences with Spirit beginning in childhood. He takes us behind the scenes of his own readings and describes how Spirit communicates with him through clairvoyance (see), clairaudience (hear), clairsentience (feel), claircognizance (know), clairalience (smell), and clairgustance (taste).
Maria and Sylvester also dive into one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding trance mediumship: Is trance possession? Sylvester explains trance as an energetic blending and merging of the mind between the medium and Spirit—not possession—and discusses why trust, surrender, altered states, and understanding your own mind are so important when developing trance.
One of the most powerful messages from this conversation is that your mediumship is uniquely yours. Teachers can guide and inspire you, but ultimately, developing mediumship is a journey of self-discovery. Whether you're a developing medium, curious about trance, afraid of opening up spiritually, or simply fascinated by how mediums experience communication with Spirit, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.
