Michele the Practical Medium

I almost missed making a podcast to release on Halloween! But I did it just in the nick of time. In this episode, I talk about Third Man Syndrome based on a Reddit post and relay the intel I'm getting on some posts. The thread itself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1fo7zmp/third_man_syndrome_is_a_bizarre_unseen_presence/ My email is, as always, michelethepracticalmedium@gma...

It's Halloween and I didn't realize I missed making an episode last year, so boo me. I discovered this fact after I did the podcast, so future me found out what past me didn't know. Some time ago, Linda had a work trip and stayed at a location that was supposedly haunted. What she found was interesting and raised quite a few questions about what really goes on at sites with a reputatio...

Relationships involve the pairing of two people who share the same space throughout the course of their lives. When something in that space breaks, it needs fixing, and it's not always easy to get fixed. Both partners have their opinions about how to fix something, and sometimes one partner has expertise. But what happens when one partner is dead and can't physically fix the problem to the extent...

I caught this post on the Paranormal subReddit at the beginning of October and felt there was some good material to talk about. I know it's a bit lazy to read off a Reddit post for yucks, but I figured I'd give it a swirl to let people what's behind the one-way mirror that is our existence and interaction with the other side of this dimension. The original post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pa...

In this episode, I let Ken out of the box to talk about what his life is like after death. Most of the podcast is me relaying what he has to say about the generalities that come with not having a dense physical body and daily life. He rides his hobby horse in some areas, but I just let him go for the most part.  The subreddit for talking about the podcast or anything related to this topic: ht...

I was looking through the back catalog and realized it's been over 3 years since I started the podcast. The time felt right to update the original first episode. The original is staying up for various reasons, including giving listeners the opportunity to compare if they feel like it.  Some things have stayed the same, including why I use the title "Practical Medium" and my dislike for turnin...

This is a bit of an open-ended topic about how the brain can create a reality out of something it doesn't want to deal with versus being a medium and dealing with a reality that doesn't mesh with the physical world in a way that makes sense.  As always, plenty of self-deprecation and my own perception of being perceived as weird. Story of my life. Does it annoy you? Let me know! michelethepra...

I was listening to a favorite artist of mine recently and something that struck me long ago about his live performances hit me so hard that I felt the need to make a podcast about it. The artist? Stevie Ray Vaughan. He lived a short but fast life full of guitar hero glory, and I realized why he did what he did when he was alive. His motivations apply to every single last one of us who came here to...

And wasn't impressed. In this episode, I talk about my experience at a metaphysical convention and my overall impressions. I also have a small bit of mental exhaust for the second half of the episode covering some of the stuff that's gone down since I last recorded. I hadn't realized it was so long since I had recorded an episode, so here we are. I got a kick in the keister when I was watching som...

I finally got around to recording this topic as I've been promising for a while. I talk about how stones can give a bit of a boost to your life, and what to expect from their abilities and properties. Are they magical and capable of making your life awesome? No, but they can make a difference when you need it. I also talk about how to pick stones, what properties to ascribe to them, and how to use...

I cover a couple of topics that were at the front of my lobes. One was watching the Twitch streamer PayMoneyWubby do a live ghost hunt (snore), and a story of how I got jumped by an angry dead person and why it's relevant. Also, mature warning in that I let fly on the salty language a bit. Normally I'm big on privacy, and I try to stay away from hot button topics, but this time I couldn't avoid it...

It's time for another Halloween-related episode! In this podcast, I talk about why certain places are haunted, how they get that way, and the psyche of the people that stick around and haunt these places. Plus, bonus story about Ken's increased strength at the end.  Addendum to the story about Ken -- I have a three tier cart next to me to hold my diamond painting stuff. It's full of crinkly p...

Technical and mental difficulties caused me to take a break from making the podcast for a lot longer than I expected. I finally managed to right my ship, catch a break, get my wind back, and put my brain in gear to do a podcast.  In this episode, I talk about my lack of bandwidth due to life's challenges, briefly talk about a visit from a young medium, my experience with C's mother, and talk...

I finally, FINALLY got a full episode put together after months of barely having enough time for this side of my life. In this episode, I talk about karma, how it works, and how it doesn't. Is it real? Yes, but it's a simple law of energy, not a burden. Take heart, dear listener, because karma affects everyone from the most miserable to the most positive. Karma can and will be a bitch when least e...

Until recently, I've had no spare energy to connect and do a deep dive on a particular topic. I explain why in this brief episode and how pain affects sensitivity. Also, fart joke warning at the end for those who don't like that humor.  In the infamous words of the Terminator, "Ah'll be bak."

In this episode, I discuss how our own personal baggage can get in the way of connecting to people we love. Anyone who wants to make the effort to reconnect to their loved ones who have passed over. Talking to the dead isn't exclusive to mediums. However, mediums get their egos out of the way so the non-corporeal can come through. Non-mediums have their own perceptions that frequently get in the w...

I've alluded to religion in the past along with bits and pieces of my point of view on the topic. I decided to knuckle down and lay out where I come from when I talk about religion. A majority of stuff is my own personal opinion and my own experience with religion, but I do touch on the "what's out there" aspect that I pick up on from time to time.  At one point, I realized my point of focus...

I had every intent to do a topical podcast. Until, that is, a series of events pulled my head away from the topic. I'll get to it in the next episode, I promise. There was a strong feeling I should take the opportunity to blow off steam and aggravations that have been building with regards to my life as a medium. Or I should say, my mousy life as a medium.  Questions? Comments? Suggestions on...

In this episode, I talk about free will and how it's a universal truth whether you're physical or not. I talk about how it plays a role in our lives, the political landscape up until recently, why people need to remember it's theirs to use, and how giving up a little bit of one's own free will isn't always a bad thing.  I do tend to meander back and forth a bit per my usual habit. Email is: m...

In this episode, I'm finally getting around to fulfilling this topic request. I talk about the concept of hell and how it isn't, or is it? a thing. I discuss my experience with how the thought of hell keeps people from crossing over, why it's not as advertised, and how people choose to punish themselves in life and in death.  Questions? Comments? Requests? Email me at: michelethepracticalmedi...

I figured it was a good time to talk about how the relationship between Ken and I has evolved, how we work together as a team, and how we handle the differences between our physical states. But before I go into that, I talk about the current timeline, the energy tide changing, and promise to get to a topic in the new year since it's a little dark for the holiday season. I haven't been spending a l...

I finally got around to putting together an episode about near death experiences (NDE). This is an overview of what happens a la the crossing over episode, but I plan to come back to get more in-depth on some of the aspects. I also share what Ken went through when he died on the table the first time.  I didn't edit the audio this time, so apologies in advance for verbal hesitations. I wanted...

In this episode, I blow off some thoughts about James Randi and Alex Trebek and talk about where I've been. Never in my life have I been so wrung out in terms of having enough energy to make it through a day. I envy people like Adam the Woo who have the energy to create a daily vlog. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into a regular rhythm and dig into various topics once again in the near future....

In this way, way long overdue podcast, Linda and I talk about Halloween. We dig into the various aspects, how it's not a big deal in her neck of the woods and why, how she feels about it, and a funny story about her daughter. I also quiz her on what kind of intel she gets from the other side about how they view Halloween, pick her brain about the dangers of seances and using Ouija boards, how to p...

An overview of crossing over, what it is, and why not everyone wants to cross over right away. Sometimes people are asked to stay back, sometimes people don't want to be separated from family and life, and sometimes it's difficult to leave behind addictions.  Ken likes to explore the darker side of humanity which gets kind of apparent in this episode. I, too, watch Jim Can't Swim along with o...
