What If It's Real?
Mentor Stephanie Burke on mediumship, intuition and Reiki. The secret list, a skateboard moment and five years of paranormal lessons.
Show Notes
Mediumship mentorship, intuition training, and what it really takes to trust your abilities: that is the heart of Episode 14 of The 108 Effect, Part 2 of our conversation with mentor and friend Stephanie Burke, with hosts Dawn, Tina, Laura and Julie.
After almost five years of working together, we look back at the breakthrough moments, from the infamous “secret list” to Dawn’s aluminum foil psychokinesis win, Laura’s remote healing breakthrough, and Julie’s skateboard reading, which nobody could have known ahead of time. Tina also shares the robot story that ended her secret list for good.
What we cover:
- Why fear of being wrong holds back intuition and mediumship
- How a medium with years of experience still feels nervous before gallery readings
- Why there is no moment where you’ve “arrived”
- How Reiki helped us feel, listen to and trust our intuition
- Working with skeptics, and why ghost stories bring people together
- What to do if you’ve had a paranormal experience and are afraid to share it
- How five years of mentorship changed each of us
- Stephanie’s advice for anyone just starting to explore their abilities: do your research and check credentials
