Colin Bray’s story is not what most people expect when they hear the words healing medium.

In this open and often hilarious conversation, Colin shares the extraordinary path that took him from a working-class upbringing in Rotherham, through life as a stripper performing across the UK and even in Japan, to finding a deeper calling in healing and mediumship.

But this is not just a story about transformation. It is about hardship, ego, addiction, bankruptcy, feeling emotionally shut down, and the slow process of learning empathy, peace, and self-understanding.

Colin opens up about why mediumship did not come easily to him, what he feels is missing from parts of modern Spiritualism, and how spirit helped inspire his memoir, The Memoirs of a Stripper’s Journey to a Healing Medium.

This is a conversation about the unexpected roads life can take us down — and how even the darkest chapters can become part of the person we are here to become.

Short description

Medium Colin Bray shares his remarkable journey from stripping stages to spiritual healing — and the hardship, addiction, empathy, and awakening that shaped him along the way.

Episode notes / show notes

In this episode, Jason is joined by medium and author Colin Bray.

Colin’s life has taken him through experiences most people would never connect with mediumship: running his own gym, becoming a stripper almost by accident, performing in the UK and Japan, financial hardship, addiction, bankruptcy, and eventually a deep spiritual awakening.

Together, Jason and Colin explore:

• Growing up without much money and why “having more” does not always bring peace
• How Colin unexpectedly became a stripper
• Performing with a male stripping group across the UK and in Japan
• The adrenaline, ego, and altered state of performing on stage
• Addiction, financial hardship, debt, and bankruptcy
• Why Colin felt emotionally shut down in his early life
• Learning empathy and emotional depth through life experience
• Why mediumship did not come easily for Colin
• The need for stronger development and evidence within modern Spiritualism
• Colin’s experiences at Arthur Findlay College
• How spirit inspired him to write his memoir
• Why protecting your peace and stepping away from drama matters

Sometimes the greatest guidance does not arrive as a loud sign. It arrives in the quiet.

In this gentle 21-minute guided meditation, Jason invites you to step away from the noise of the outside world and come back to your own inner space — a place where your intuition can be heard, your nervous system can soften, and the loving presence of spirit can be felt.

This is an experience of simply being. No striving. No forcing. No needing to “get it right.”

Find a comfortable place, allow yourself to settle, and let this meditation guide you into stillness, connection and the quiet power that already lives within you.

Come back to this whenever you need to feel grounded, supported, connected, or reminded that you are never as alone as you may feel.

The Strawberry Full Moon is a moment to pause, soften, and recognise all that has been quietly growing within you.

Named after the ripening of strawberries at this time of year, this full moon carries an energy of gratitude, emotional clarity, release, and renewal. It is a reminder that not everything needs to be forced — some things simply ripen in their own time.

In this gentle guided meditation, Kieran Morgan invites you to come back into your body, let go of what you are ready to put down, and reconnect with the part of yourself that already knows what it needs.

Whether you are listening beneath the moonlight, winding down before sleep, or simply needing a moment away from the noise of life, this meditation is a space to breathe, reset, and return to yourself.

What happens when grief opens a doorway?

In this episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by Dutch medium, healer, trance medium and teacher Danielle Nijhuis for a deeply moving conversation about loss, spirit communication, healing, and the moment that changed the course of her life.

Danielle’s journey into mediumship began after the sudden passing of someone she deeply loved. Like so many people who experience profound grief, she found herself asking the question that sits quietly behind so much of human suffering:

Where have you gone?

That question led her on a search — through religion, grief, intuition, mediumship, the Arthur Findlay College, trance, healing, and physical mediumship.

In this conversation, Danielle shares the experiences that shaped her understanding of the spirit world, including her time sitting in trance and physical mediumship circles, her work with spirit guides, her journey with healing, and the extraordinary séance experience that gave her the answer she had been searching for.

What makes this conversation so powerful is not just the phenomena Danielle describes, but the emotional meaning behind it. After receiving what she felt was a direct and deeply personal answer from the spirit world, Danielle made a promise: to dedicate herself to serving spirit and helping others find healing, connection, and trust.

This is a conversation about grief, evidence, love, healing, and the way the spirit world can sometimes meet us in the places where life has broken us open.

To find out more about Danielle, you can visit her website - https://www.soulconnections.nl/

What you’ll hear

• Danielle’s early sensitivity and childhood questions about religion, heaven, hell and personal responsibility
• The sudden loss that changed the direction of her life
• Why grief led her to search for answers beyond traditional explanations
• Her first experiences with mediumship and spirit communication
• Discovering trance and physical mediumship at the Arthur Findlay College
• Sitting with physical mediums and witnessing powerful séance phenomena
• The extraordinary moment where someone she loved materialised and spoke to her in Dutch
• Why that experience became a turning point in her healing
• The “pact” Danielle made with the spirit world
• Her work with healing mediumship, trance, spirit guides and teaching
• The story behind her book, Medium Between Two Worlds
• Why she believes mediumship is not about being special, but about discovering the true self

Who this episode is for

This episode is for anyone who has lost someone they love and wondered where they have gone.

It is also for anyone curious about mediumship, trance, healing, spirit guides, physical mediumship, and the deeper purpose behind spiritual development.

How do you know when it’s truly spirit… and when it’s just your mind?

In this episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by medium and psychic Susan Diadem for a wonderfully honest, wise and often very funny conversation about the inner world of mediumship.

This isn’t just a conversation about giving messages. It’s about what happens underneath the surface — the doubt, the responsibility, the fear of getting it wrong, the importance of spiritual integrity, and the moment a medium begins to move beyond technique into trust.

Susan shares her own journey from early sensitivity and psychic awareness into mediumship, including the years she spent questioning herself, learning through different teachers and traditions, and eventually finding the confidence to listen more deeply to spirit.

Together, we explore why so many mediums doubt themselves, why that doubt often comes from care rather than lack of ability, and why great mediumship is not simply about delivering facts — but about honouring the essence, dignity and love of the soul being communicated.

This episode also opens up a much-needed conversation around evidence versus essence, the danger of embellishing what spirit gives, the role of ego in mediumship, and why formal structures can be helpful at the beginning but limiting if we never move beyond them.

At the heart of this conversation is a simple but powerful question:

Can we trust ourselves enough to become a clear voice for spirit?

What you’ll hear

• Susan’s journey from psychic sensitivity into mediumship
• Why many genuine mediums struggle with self-doubt
• The difference between evidence and essence in spirit communication
• Why integrity matters so deeply in mediumship
• The danger of embellishing or interpreting too much
• Why respect and dignity matter when bringing loved ones through
• How training and structure can help — but can also become restrictive
• The balance between confidence, humility and ego
• Why spirit communication should feel more like a loving conversation than a checklist
• Susan’s reflections on healing, comparison, hope and learning to trust yourself

Who this episode is for

This episode is for anyone developing mediumship, sitting in spiritual circles, giving readings, or trying to understand their own sensitivity more deeply.

It’s also for anyone who has ever asked:

Was that intuition? Was that anxiety? Was that spirit… or was that just my mind?

But this conversation goes far beyond spiritual phenomena.

Why is it that the most sensitive, intuitive people often struggle the most with self-doubt?

In this deeply thoughtful episode of Soul Sync, Jason sits down with respected medium and teacher Kitty Woud, who taught at Arthur Findlay College for 18 years and has dedicated much of her life to helping others unfold their mediumship and spiritual potential.

Together, they explore why sensitivity can feel both like a gift and a burden — and why so many deeply feeling people spend years questioning themselves, seeking approval, and trying to shrink to fit into the world around them.

Kitty shares her extraordinary early encounters with spirit, the profound role meditation has played in her life, and why the real journey of mediumship is not simply about connecting with spirit — but learning to truly know, trust and accept yourself.

This conversation goes far beyond mediumship.

It’s about self-worth.
It’s about healing.
And ultimately, it’s about learning to stop abandoning yourself.

What you’ll hear

• Why sensitive people often struggle with self-doubt
• Why mediumship exposes your deepest insecurities
• How meditation strengthens both mental health and spiritual connection
• Why self-acceptance is essential for spiritual growth
• Kitty’s extraordinary childhood encounters with spirit
• Why spirit does not require perfection — only sincerity
• How to stop living for other people’s approval

Who this episode is for

This episode is for you if you:

• Feel deeply and absorb other people’s emotions
• Struggle with self-doubt or overthinking
• Are developing spiritually or mediumistically
• Want to trust yourself more
• Are tired of shrinking to keep others comfortable

What is actually happening inside the medium?

When people talk about mediumship, the conversation often focuses on techniques.

How do you connect with the spirit world?

How do you receive information?

How do you know whether it's your imagination or genuine communication?

But what if the real development of mediumship has very little to do with techniques at all?

In this episode of Soul Sync, I sit down with internationally respected evidential mediums, tutors, and ministers Kerry McLeod and Phil Dykes, whose new documentary Evidence of the Afterlife has recently been released on Apple TV.

Together, we explore what they call the inner experience of mediumship — the emotional, psychological, and spiritual journey that every medium must navigate if they wish to develop beyond mechanics and techniques.

This conversation goes far beyond mediumship.

We explore self-doubt, trust, perfectionism, ego, personal development, fear of failure, learning from mistakes, and why so many developing mediums unknowingly block their own progress.

Kerry and Phil share decades of experience teaching mediums around the world and explain why mediumship is ultimately a journey of understanding yourself.

Whether you're a developing medium, an experienced practitioner, or simply interested in consciousness, personal growth, and the deeper questions of life, this conversation is filled with wisdom.

What you'll hear

• The story behind the documentary Evidence of the Afterlife
• Why mediumship is often misunderstood
• The three stages of mediumship development
• Trusting yourself versus trusting the spirit world
• Why so many mediums get stuck in their development
• Self-doubt, perfectionism, and fear of being wrong
• Learning from the word "No"
• Psychic ability versus mediumship
• Why personal development is essential for spiritual growth
• Consciousness, spirituality, and authentic living
• Practical insights for developing mediums

Who this episode is for

• Developing mediums
• Experienced mediums and tutors
• Students of spiritual development
• Those curious about life after death
• Anyone interested in personal growth and consciousness

Mentions & Ideas

• Evidence of the Afterlife documentary
• Evidential mediumship
• Consciousness
• Personal development
• Spiritual growth
• Trust and surrender
• Psychic development
• Self-awareness
