What happens when everything that once made you feel broken becomes the doorway to discovering who you truly are?

Maruis Aldridge grew up in South Africa carrying childhood trauma, shame and the pressure of hiding his sexuality. By his mid-thirties, panic attacks, psychiatric admissions and suicidal thoughts had brought him to one of the darkest periods of his life—but his story did not end there.

In this deeply personal conversation, Maruis shares how Spiritual Response Therapy opened the door to healing, spiritual awakening and what he describes as a life-changing encounter with Jesus.

We explore:

• Growing up gay in apartheid-era South Africa
• Childhood trauma, silence and family rejection
• Plant medicine and his encounter with Jesus
• Spiritual Response Therapy and Spiritual Restructuring
• Channeling spirit through the Higher Self
• The Akashic Records and receiving intuitive information
• Past lives, reincarnation and soul contracts
• His belief that he has experienced 5,876 lifetimes
• Why he believes this is his final incarnation
• Dolores Cannon, QHHT and consciousness
• Writing From Broken to Brilliant through what he describes as spiritual guidance
• Why our wounds do not have to define who we become

Maruis’s memoir, *From Broken to Brilliant: The Unscripted Journey to Finding Wholeness*, is available through Amazon, Kindle and Audible.

A childhood encounter in his grandmother’s house. A cup of tea that became his first way of giving readings. And a question that matters: when does seeking spiritual guidance become relying on it?

In this episode of the Anthony Larkin Podcast, I’m joined by Stuart Cahoon, known as Stuart C Psychic Medium and Psychic In The Province, from Northern Ireland.

With around 28 years working as a psychic medium, Stuart shares how his grandmother helped him understand his early experiences and taught him to read tea leaves. He explains his approach to tea-leaf readings, why this tradition means so much to him, and his concern that it is being forgotten.

Our conversation also takes us into grief, family connections and the responsibility of working with people who may be vulnerable. Stuart speaks openly about his own losses, his concerns about repeated readings, and why he sometimes tells people that another reading isn’t the right next step.

Along the way, he recounts an unexpected family revelation during a reading and a strange incident on camera that he interpreted as spirit energy.

There’s warmth, laughter and emotion, with a closing message about keeping the people we love in our hearts.

What’s it like to grow up seeing and hearing things that other people dismiss as imagination?

Barnsley spiritual medium Gaz Williams joins me on the Anthony Larkin Podcast to share his experiences of childhood spirit encounters, what he believes was poltergeist activity at his auntie’s house, and unexplained happenings in the home he once shared with his wife, Paula.

Alongside those stories, we get to know the man behind the mediumship. Gaz speaks openly about feeling misunderstood, the difference it made to find someone who believed him, and how Spiritualism became an important part of finding purpose in his life.

We explore:
• Childhood experiences and the impact of not being believed
• Spirit guides and experiences Gaz interprets as hauntings
• Meeting Paula, whom he describes as his angel
• Mental health, asking for help and rebuilding confidence
• Development circles and his first steps into giving messages
• How he experiences spirit communication, including animals
• Grief, loved ones and his beliefs about life after death
• Meditation, astral travel and channeling
• Kindness, honesty and learning to trust yourself

There are laughs, personal reflections and plenty of questions along the way. Thank you to Gaz for sharing his story so openly.
