Stepping Stones: Living, Voting and Manifesting In Alignment

37 min

Send us Fan Mail This week on Beyond This, Matilda talks about the word she's been living with all year: alignment. With the US midterms fresh in everyone's minds, she looks at voting as one of the most powerful acts of alignment we ever make, the moment our values stop being a feeling and become a choice. She shares why what happens in America ripples out across the world, and why the energy shifts when enough people come into alignment at once. For anyone who woke up disappointed, Matilda speaks honestly about manifesting. Change rarely arrives in one leap; it comes in stepping stones. She shares a simple three-step writing practice to turn disappointment into direction, and reminds us that our feelings are never a block to manifesting. Then she brings it home, with three questions to help you find the gaps between how you want to live and how you're living now. And she shares what loved ones in spirit so often say about the small gaps that matter most. The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Stepping Stones. You'll cross a calm river with a loved one in spirit beside you and receive a message about your next step. Plus, the launch of Matilda's new journal, In Alignment. Key takeaways Alignment isn't perfection. It's when your values, your words and your actions tell the same story.A vote is one of the most concrete acts of alignment we have, but living our values happens every day.Disappointment shows you what you value. It's a compass, not a failure.Change comes in stepping stones. You only ever need to see the next one.You never cross the river alone. Your loved ones in spirit walk with you.Meditation note The guided meditation begins at around 24:00 and runs about 10 minutes. Please don't listen to it while driving or operating machinery.

Uncertainty Is Your Superpower

1 hr 2 min

Send us Fan Mail Beyond This… with Medium Matilda What if the very thing you've been trying to avoid is actually one of your greatest strengths? We spend so much of our lives wanting answers, certainty and reassurance that everything is going to work out exactly as we planned. We want to know what's coming next, whether we're making the right decisions and whether we're going to be okay. But what if our constant need to know is actually holding us back? In this week's episode of Beyond This…, Matilda explores why uncertainty makes us so uncomfortable, how our brains are wired to seek control, and why learning to sit with the unknown can be one of the most powerful things we ever do. Drawing on behavioural psychology, intuition and more than two decades of experience as a medium, Matilda discusses the difference between fear and intuition, the illusion of control, and how we can stop treating the unknown as something to be frightened of. Because the future doesn't just hold the things we're worried about. It also holds opportunities, experiences, relationships and possibilities we haven't even imagined yet. In this episode, we explore: Why the human brain finds uncertainty so uncomfortable.How our need for control can keep us stuck.The difference between intuition and fear.Why not knowing doesn't mean something is going wrong.How to build trust in yourself without needing all the answers.Finding strength and possibility in life's uncertain moments.Plus, stay until the end for a guided meditation, The Freedom of Not Knowing, designed to help you release the pressure to have everything figured out and become more comfortable with uncertainty. You don't have to know exactly where life is taking you to trust yourself along the way. Sometimes, the most extraordinary things happen when we stop demanding certainty and allow ourselves to discover what's next. Because uncertainty isn't always your enemy. Sometimes, it's your superpower. © Medium Matilda. All rights reserved....

Parenting From Love, Not Guilt

45 min

Send us Fan Mail Beyond This… with Medium Matilda Are you parenting from love, or are you making decisions because you feel guilty? In this episode of Beyond This…, Matilda explores the guilt so many parents carry, from worrying about whether we've done enough to trying to give our children the childhood we never had. We look at how guilt can influence our decisions, why saying no doesn't make us a bad parent, and how our own childhood experiences can shape the way we raise our children. And what happens when our children become adults? How do we learn to step back, respect their choices and stop feeling responsible for every decision they make? This episode is a reminder that loving your children doesn't mean being perfect, sacrificing yourself or protecting them from every disappointment. In this episode, we explore: Why parental guilt is so common.The difference between parenting from love and parenting from guilt.How our own childhood experiences influence our parenting.Why boundaries and saying no are important expressions of love.Learning to let go as our children become adults.Releasing guilt while taking responsibility for our mistakes.We finish with a gentle five-minute guided meditation to help you release parental guilt, practise self-compassion and reconnect with the love behind your intentions. Because your children don't need a perfect parent. They need a loving, present and authentic one.

Stop Waiting for the World to Make You Happy

1 hr 7 min

Send us Fan Mail Stop Waiting for the World to Make You Happy Are you putting your happiness on hold while you wait for the world to change? We live in a world filled with uncertainty, political division, conflict and suffering. It's easy to become so consumed by what's happening around us that we forget we're allowed to experience joy in our own lives. But here's the thing: your happiness cannot depend on someone else's behaviour, success, failure or downfall. In this week's episode of Beyond This…, Matilda explores why we give so much of our emotional energy to things outside our control, how our expectations of others can keep us stuck, and why building resilience doesn't mean pretending everything is okay. Because sometimes life is bloody difficult. Good people get hurt, people disappoint us, and the world doesn't always make sense. And no amount of positive thinking is going to change that. But we do have choices. If the suffering in the world is weighing heavily on you, perhaps it's time to turn some of that worry into action. Volunteer, get involved in your local community, help someone who's struggling, or find a small way to make a difference. And most importantly, stop waiting for everything to be perfect before allowing yourself to enjoy your life. Matilda also shares a simple challenge: find one thing that brings you joy every single day, even when life feels overwhelming. The episode finishes with a guided meditation to help you release what you cannot control, reconnect with yourself and make space for joy. You can care deeply about the world without carrying the weight of it every moment of your life. Because your joy isn't a betrayal of someone else's suffering.  LICENCE FOR YOU TUBE IZFYSWJLVSJIXMBL Matilda's Links Website Patreon Live Events Email Fiona - Fiona@mediummatilda.com Support the show

There Is No Such Thing as a Psychic Child (They're Just New)

29 min

Send us Fan Mail Is the veil really thinner in October? As a medium, my answer might surprise you: no. The veil is thin every single day. Spirit don't come closer at Halloween, we just finally look up. In this episode, I explain why there's no such thing as a psychic child. Children aren't specially gifted. They're simply fresh from the spirit world. It's why they name grandparents they never met, chat to imaginary friends with uncanny detail, and wave at empty corners. I'll talk about where that ability goes as we grow up, how busy lives and "it's just your imagination" teach us to stop noticing, and how we can reclaim it. For parents and grandparents, I share gentle, practical guidance on how to respond when your little one says something you can't explain. We finish with a guided meditation to quiet the noise of everyday life, reconnect with the open, curious child you once were, and mindfully invite your loved ones in spirit to come close. Have a story about a child who saw something they couldn't explain? I'd love to hear it. [Add where to send stories.] Note: Please don't listen to the meditation while driving.

The Life You Built for Someone Else

51 min

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we build the life we think everyone wants for us. We chase the job title that brings esteem, live in the suburb that says we've made it, and spend years keeping up with the Joneses. Then one day we realise we're working fifty or sixty hours a week to fund a lifestyle created for an older version of ourselves. In this deep, heartfelt episode, Matilda draws on her background in behavioural economics and her work as an evidential medium to explore why we fall into this pattern, and how to find our way out. She unpacks the hedonic treadmill, lifestyle creep and the sunk cost trap. She shares what loved ones in spirit so often remind us about what truly matters. And she offers practical reflection questions to help you define your own version of "enough." The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Home That Fits, where you'll set down the expectations you've been carrying and meet the version of you who is already living a peaceful life. This one is for anyone who has quietly wondered, "Is this really the life I want?"

Awakening Isn't Enlightenment — It's Grief for Who You Used to Be

30 min

Send us Fan Mail Spiritual awakening isn't about becoming more spiritual — it's about finding out who you are underneath everyone you had to be to survive. In this solo episode, Matilda unpacks why "awakening" so often feels like grief rather than light: the sunk-cost grip of identities we've spent years building, the pain of deconstructing roles that once kept us safe, and why none of this requires religion, belief, or a spiritual label to be real. Whether you're mid-unravelling right now or just starting to notice the cracks, this episode ends with a guided meditation — You Are Safe While You're Becoming — to remind your body you're not falling apart. You're just becoming.

John Edward Revisited | New Predictions, Mediumship & Self-Limiting Beliefs

1 hr 2 min

Send us Fan Mail  Due to being out of town due to a funeral Matilda is uploading an old episode with new predictions and a meditation. This week on Beyond This…, we’re revisiting one of my favourite conversations from 2025 — my original interview with internationally renowned psychic medium John Edward. With John returning to Australia for his October–December 2026 tour, it felt like the perfect time to bring this conversation back. John and I talk openly about mediumship, the spirit world, what happens when we connect, and the realities of doing this work professionally. As two working mediums, it’s an honest, fascinating and at times very funny conversation about a world we both know incredibly well. But this week's episode isn't simply a replay. I've recorded a brand-new introduction with some new predictions — sharing a little of what I've been seeing and feeling around current events and what may be coming next. I've also included a guided meditation focused on self-limiting beliefs. So many of the limitations we place on ourselves don't come from what we're actually capable of. They come from the stories we've collected about who we are, what we're allowed to have, what we're good at and what is — or isn't — possible for us. This meditation gives you an opportunity to become quiet, identify some of those beliefs and begin loosening your attachment to the ones that may be keeping you stuck. So whether you heard my original conversation with John Edward in 2025 or you're discovering it for the first time, there is something new for you in this week's episode. In this episode: • New predictions from Matilda • A guided meditation for identifying and releasing self-limiting beliefs • My original 2025 conversation with John Edward • Mediumship, the spirit world and life as a professional medium • Why developing trust and discernment matters • And plenty of conversation between two mediums who have a LOT to say John Edward returns to Australia from October through De...

What It Really Means to Be a Medium — Allison DuBois

1 hr 17 min

Send us Fan Mail This week, Matilda steps away from the usual format for something rawer and more personal. In the middle of a genuinely hard week — watching someone she loves near the end of their life, and her own dog struggling to recover after a procedure — she opens up about a question she's asked constantly: does this work ever make grief easier to carry, even for the medium? Matilda unpacks the myth of the "unshakeable" medium, and why proximity to death and spirit doesn't inoculate anyone against fear or exhaustion — it often does the opposite. She talks candidly about anticipatory grief: the mourning that starts long before a death actually happens, why almost nobody prepares you for it, and how animals in a household often carry that same heaviness in their bodies without a word being said. Midway through, Matilda is joined by fellow medium Allison DuBois for a conversation about the personal cost of this work — how she recovers after emotionally heavy sessions, and what she wishes more people understood about what it takes to hold space for others while carrying your own grief. A more honest, unfiltered episode about what it looks like to keep showing up when you're running on empty.

Under the House: Eclipsing Your Self-Limiting Beliefs

34 min

Send us Fan Mail Under the House: Eclipsing Your Self-Limiting Beliefs Have you ever wondered why some dreams always seem just out of reach — no matter how many times you visualise them or write them down? In this episode, I'm digging into the quiet, often invisible stories that shape everything we believe we're capable of and worthy of. We'll unpack where self-limiting beliefs actually come from (often inadvertently, from the people who love us most), why fear of failure keeps so many of us stuck in a loop of never trying, and how these old beliefs quietly sabotage our ability to manifest the life we say we want. I'll share the analogy I come back to again and again — self-limiting beliefs as the foundations of a house — and walk through exactly how to notice, question, and rebuild that foundation from the ground up. This episode also lands right alongside a partial lunar eclipse and full moon in Pisces on August 28th — a combination known for surfacing exactly the kind of buried emotional patterns and old beliefs we're talking about. I'll share what this eclipse window means for you and why it's the perfect moment to release what's no longer serving you. I'll also get personal, sharing my own experience living with a chronic pain disorder and being blind in one eye, and how I've learned that our limits don't have to be the only thing writing our story. This episode closes with a guided meditation designed to help you release an old belief and start reinforcing a new, bigger foundation — so come back to it when you can sit quietly and really listen. If you've ever felt like something invisible was capping what you're allowed to have, to try, or to become — this one's for you.

Purgatory, Anger & the Truth About Mediumship

40 min

Send us Fan Mail Episode Description (long — for podcast platforms) In this episode, I'm taking apart some of the biggest myths about the spirit world and mediumship — the ones that quietly create fear and keep people stuck in their grief. We cover: The myth of purgatory and being "stuck" after deathHow religious conditioning shapes what we expect from the afterlifeWhy your loved ones are never angry or disappointed with youThe truth about suicide and the afterlife (handled gently — see content note below)Whether mediums research their clients beforehandWhy a big following or long waitlist doesn't prove someone is (or isn't) legitimateAnd then — because you don't need a medium to feel close to someone you've lost — I walk you through a guided meditation you can return to any time, using a simple, repeatable practice to sit with your person again.

The Love You Are Not Ready To Receive

38 min

Send us Fan Mail We've been sold a myth: that healing is something someone else delivers to us, and that romantic love is the cure for whatever's broken inside. In this episode, Matilda breaks down why that belief quietly destroys good relationships — and what it actually looks like when an unhealed person is loved: interrogating love instead of receiving it, testing before trusting, mistaking chaos for chemistry, performing instead of showing up, leaving before you can be left. Drawing on patterns that show up again and again in readings — and messages from spirit about the regret people carry over guardedness, not over loving too much — this episode reframes healing not as a prerequisite for love, but as a practice you carry inside it. The episode closes with a guided meditation designed to help you sit with what it feels like to actually let love in.

The Ones You Didn't Want to Hear From

30 min

Send us Fan Mail The people we least expect to hear from are often the ones with the most to say. In this episode, Matilda explores why difficult and estranged relationships still come through in readings — the parent who caused harm, the friend you fell out with, the family member you'd rather not think about. Why do they show up? What do they actually want to say? And what does it mean when spirit brings forward someone you didn't ask for and maybe didn't want? This isn't about forced forgiveness or tidy endings. It's about understanding why these connections don't just disappear — in this life or the next — and what spirit seems to want us to know about the relationships we'd rather leave behind. As always Matilda includes new predictions and an oversight on predictions that happened last week - some of them almost immediately. This episode ends with a deep meditation.

The Soul Already Has Everything it Needs

37 min

Send us Fan Mail We're taught to see our soul as something incomplete — a project to fix, heal, and perfect. But what if the soul arrives whole, and everything that triggers us here on Earth isn't proof something's wrong, but an invitation to learn? In this episode, Matilda unpacks why "I'm triggered" so often becomes "I'm retreating," and offers a different way through: treating every hard moment as an opportunity instead of a threat. Includes a short guided meditation to help you meet your next trigger differently. The soul arrives whole — you're not broken and becoming, you're whole and remembering. Earth isn't the punishment, it's the classroom — friction is the curriculum, not a glitch."Triggered" implies something happened to you. "Opportunity" implies something is available to you. Same moment, different posture.Every trigger is a teacher in disguise, pointing at something worth looking at.Retreating doesn't remove the lesson — it postpones it, and it comes back louder.Flow isn't the absence of friction. It's movement through it, not around it.The key question to ask in a triggered moment: "What is this actually offering me?"

The Lie We Tell Ourselves to Feel Safe - Confirmation Bias Certainty and the search for signs

45 min

Send us Fan Mail Why do we trust the signs that confirm what we already believe — and ignore the ones that don't? In this episode, Matilda takes a hard look at confirmation bias — the mental shortcut that shapes everything from the readings we trust, to the news we consume, to who we vote for, to how we read our own relationships. Drawing on her background in behavioural economics, she unpacks the psychology behind the Barnum effect, cold reading, and why so much of what passes for "evidence" in the psychic and spiritual world is really just the sitter's own mind doing the work. From there, the conversation moves into how the same bias plays out in politics and media — why facts alone rarely change a belief tied to identity — and into the quieter, more personal ways it shows up in our everyday lives and relationships. But underneath all of it sits a bigger question: why do we reach for certainty in the first place? Matilda explores the psychology of our discomfort with not-knowing, and why a false certainty can feel safer than an honest question. The episode closes with a guided meditation on sitting with the unresolved — a practice in tolerating uncertainty without rushing to fill it. A more reflective, personal episode — and an honest one, including a candid look at Matilda's own field.

The Identity you Built to Survive

44 min

Send us Fan Mail The self you built to stay safe was never a lie — but it has an expiry date, and its collapse isn't a breakdown. It's an invitation. Episode summary  Most people who come to Matilda for a reading aren't lost — they're still performing a version of themselves built decades ago to survive. In this extended episode, Matilda unpacks where the "survival self" comes from, why it quietly costs us access to our own intuition, and why spiritual "awakening" almost always looks like loss before it looks like light. Expect a reframe of what awakening actually is, a practical discernment tool for collapse, three journal prompts to start locating who you were before the performance began — and, new for this episode, a short guided meditation to help you meet that self directly. Key takeaways The identity you built as a child to earn love and safety was adaptive, not a flaw — but it wasn't built to last foreverChronic self-abandonment often disguises itself as reliability and strengthBurnout is very often self-abandonment wearing the costume of loyaltyReal awakening tends to look like loss first, not clarity — the ego mistakes deconstruction for catastropheA two-question discernment tool for telling genuine loss apart from the death of a performed identityThree journal prompts to begin locating the self underneath the survival strategyA guided meditation practice to meet that self directly, not just intellectually understand it Timestamps  00:00 — Cold open: the client who was tired of performing04:30 — Segment 1: Why we build the survival self16:00 — Segment 2: The cost nobody names27:30 — Segment 3: Reframing "awakening" + the two-question discernment tool40:00 — Segment 4: What's underneath — three journal prompts50:00 — Segment 5: Guided meditation — meeting the self beneath the performance Live Event Bendigo Are You Listening Workshop - connect with your guides Zoom Mediumship Demonstration Matilda's Website Social Media Links Patreon Support the show YO...

Have We Made Spirituality Too Complicated?

46 min

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest thing standing between you and your intuition... is the belief that it's difficult to access? In this week's episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest myths in the spiritual world—that intuition is something reserved for the gifted, the chosen, or those who know the right rituals, buy the right crystals, or reach a certain level of consciousness. The truth? You were born intuitive. You don't need to become someone different to connect with your guides. You don't need permission. You don't need to be "more spiritual." You simply need to remember what you've always known.

Ego Both Ways - Is it better to be there - than always right?

1 hr 0 min

Send us Fan Mail Something is happening in the spiritual community right now — a wave of tarot readers and intuitive practitioners are publicly walking away from their work, finding God, going viral. In this episode, Matilda looks at what's actually underneath that: the burnout that's real and under-acknowledged, the clinical reality of spiritual psychosis that almost nobody in this space will name, and the algorithm that profits from crisis content regardless of whether the crisis is genuine.   Then she brings it closer to home. Because underneath the public collapse of any identity built on being right or being the guide, there's a quieter version of the same thing happening in all of our lives — the need to be right in our relationships, the distances we've built out of pride, the people we've quietly left behind to win an argument. This episode closes with a guided meditation on meeting your own ego — where it lives in the body, what it's protecting, and who it might be costing you. It is better to be there than to be right. Sometimes that's the hardest lesson of all.  🎧 New episodes every week 💬 Join the conversation in Connected — link in bio   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Cold open 03:00 — The pattern: tarot readers turning to God 07:00 — Burnout in public spiritual work 11:00 — Spiritual psychosis — naming what nobody will 16:00 — The algorithm of crisis 19:00 — What it does to you, the follower 22:00 — The pivot — ego in everyday life 26:00 — Ego vs integrity: who benefits from being right? 30:00 — The cost of needing to win 34:00 — The common thread 37:00 — What evidential practice taught me about being wrong 40:00 — Guided meditation: meeting your ego 47:00 — Close Live Event Bendigo Are You Listening Workshop - connect with your guides Zoom Mediumship Demonstration Matilda's Website Social Media Links Patreon Support the show Support the show

You Trained Them to Treat You This Way

38 min

Send us Fan Mail If you've ever looked at your life and wondered how you became the person who does everything for everyone — this episode is for you. In this deeply personal and unflinching episode, Matilda explores the hidden architecture of people-pleasing: how it gets installed in childhood, how it quietly transfers into our adult relationships, and why so many women in their fifties arrive at a moment of reckoning that looks like a crisis but is actually the first honest conversation they've had with themselves in decades. This isn’t a man-blaming episode, or a marriage-blaming episode. It’s an invitation to look at the model of love you were handed before you were old enough to question it — and to ask, honestly, whether you want to keep building on it. A full guided meditation — “Putting The Ledger Down” — is included at the end to help you move this from your head into your body, where it can actually do something.     Live Event Bendigo Are You Listening Workshop - connect with your guides Zoom Mediumship Demonstration Matilda's Website Social Media Links Patreon Support the show Support the show

Hungry People Eat Lies - Why we settle for crumbs

39 min

Send us Fan Mail Why do intelligent, capable people stay in unhealthy relationships, ignore red flags, seek constant reassurance, or give their power away to others? In this deeply honest episode of Beyond This, Matilda explores the idea that hungry people eat lies—not because they're weak or naïve, but because emotional hunger changes what we're willing to accept.

This episode explores: ✨ The difference between love and emotional relief ✨ Why we ignore red flags when we're starving for connection ✨ The hidden cost of seeking validation outside ourselves ✨ Spiritual dependency and the search for certainty ✨ Why familiar doesn't always mean safe ✨ How to stop settling for emotional crumbs ✨ Building true security from within Plus, stay until the end for a powerful guided meditation designed to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, reclaim your energy, and come home to yourself.

41 min

Send us Fan Mail In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Beyond This, Medium Matilda explores the lifelong habit so many people carry of shrinking themselves to fit into the comfort, expectations, and limitations of others.

The Exhale - why it's dangerous to our future

39 min

Send us Fan Mail EPISODE DESCRIPTION This week Matilda is going somewhere unexpected — and necessary. Following on from last week’s episode on propaganda, today’s conversation zooms out to look at what propaganda is actually building toward. And why the spiritual community, of all communities, cannot afford to check out of that conversation. Australia just had a historic Labor landslide. The UK handed Labour one of its biggest majorities in decades. And in both countries, the collective exhale that followed may be the most dangerous moment of all. Because the right didn’t go away. It reorganised. It got smarter. It got funded. And it’s been quietly consolidating while everyone was busy feeling relieved. Matilda calls out something she sees happening across spiritual communities — a pattern of using high-vibe thinking, manifestation culture, and the desire to “stay above the noise” to avoid engaging with political reality. She names it for what it is: spiritual bypassing. And she makes the case that genuine spiritual awareness isn’t about rising above the messy material world — it’s about being more present to it. This episode covers the rise of One Nation to historic polling highs in Australia, Reform UK’s devastating local election results in May 2026, the neuroscience of fear and how it’s weaponised by authoritarian movements, and what it actually means to be a conscious, discerning person in this political moment. It ends with a grounding meditation designed to help you hold the weight of all of this without being crushed by it — and to find the one true thing you can do. This isn’t a political episode. It’s a consciousness episode. And it might be the most important conversation Matilda has had on this show. IN THIS EPISODE - Why the exhale after an election win is the most dangerous moment — not the election itself - One Nation’s historic polling numbers and what’s actually happening beneath Australia’s Labor majority - Reform UK’s May 2026 local ele...

Belief or Influence? Propaganda, Power & Trusting Yourself

1 hr 15 min

Send us Fan Mail Most people think propaganda is obvious. It isn’t. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t force. It quietly shapes what you believe… until it feels like your own truth. In this episode of Beyond This, Matilda explores how propaganda operates across religion, politics, and modern spirituality—and why even the most well-meaning belief systems can influence the way we think, learn, and trust ourselves. With insights inspired by Edward Bernays—the man who understood how to shape public perception without people realising—it becomes clear that influence is not something happening “out there”… it’s something we’re all part of. Including an interview with Rod Smith Historian surrounding Propaganda, media and political and religious influence.  This episode will challenge you to ask: Where did my beliefs come from?Am I thinking—or repeating?What does truth actually feel like for me?Includes a guided meditation to help you reconnect with your own inner knowing and begin separating external influence from personal truth. This is not about what to believe. It’s about learning how to trust yourself.

Are You Seeking Guidance… or Avoiding Responsibility?

38 min

Send us Fan Mail Most people think they’re seeking guidance. But what if… you’re actually avoiding responsibility? In this episode of Beyond This, Matilda explores the subtle but powerful difference between being guided—and quietly handing your decision-making over to something outside of you. Because guidance isn’t here to tell you what to do. It’s here to show you what you already know. And often… that’s where the discomfort begins. If you’ve been feeling stuck, going in circles, or constantly looking for confirmation before you act—this episode will challenge the way you see guidance entirely. Inside this episode: The difference between true guidance and dependencyWhy you keep seeking answers you already haveHow growth is often misinterpreted as things “not working”Where your values may not align with the life you wantAnd why nothing changes until you doThis is a grounded, honest conversation about self-trust, alignment, and what it really means to be supported—without giving your power away. There’s also a guided meditation at the end of the episode to help you reconnect with your own inner knowing. If you’re ready to stop waiting for answers… and start responding to them, this episode is for you.

The Unhealed Healer - The Damage they can cause

32 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beyond This, internationally recognised psychic medium Matilda explores the concept of the unhealed healer — practitioners who may have intuitive or spiritual ability but have not yet developed the emotional maturity required to responsibly hold influence in the lives of others. Spiritual ability does not automatically create self-awareness. As spiritual spaces continue to grow in popularity, discernment becomes increasingly important. Not every practitioner has done the inner work required to separate ego from guidance, projection from perception, or validation from genuine service. This episode explores: • why spiritual roles can attract unresolved wounds • the difference between ability and integration • signs of grounded, ethical practitioners • why boundaries are essential for genuine spiritual development • how self-concept influences who we trust • why empowerment should always be the goal • how to recognise when external influence may be creating confusion rather than clarity This conversation is not about judgement — it is about responsibility. Because real spiritual growth strengthens independence, not dependence. The episode also includes a guided meditation to help you return your attention to your own energy, recognise where you may be making life more complicated than it needs to be, and begin developing deeper trust in yourself. Discernment is not scepticism. Discernment is self-respect.

There Is Nothing to Fear in Spirit

27 min

Send us Fan Mail In this deeply personal and in-depth episode, Medium Matilda explores one of the most misunderstood topics in spirituality — the spirit world itself. Many people assume that anything connected to mediumship must be a belief system, religion, or something mysterious and even frightening. But evidential mediumship is not based on belief — it is based on evidence. Through thousands of readings, evidence consistently demonstrates the continuation of consciousness after physical death. Personalities remain intact, relationships continue, and love does not disappear simply because the body does. In this episode, Matilda explains why the spirit world is not something to fear, why spirituality is often misrepresented as dark or unsafe, and why evidential work shows that connection with loved ones in spirit can bring comfort, reassurance, and healing. The conversation explores: • Why the spirit world is not a religion or belief system • What evidential mediumship actually demonstrates • The continuation of personality after death • The role of spirit guides in supporting our lives • Why fear has been attached to spirituality • How connection with loved ones in spirit can support healing • The difference between evidence and opinion in spiritual work • Why the spirit world is experienced as loving, calm, and supportive Matilda also speaks about the way grief changes our experience of the world, and how connection does not end when someone dies — it changes form. At the end of the episode, you will be guided through an extended meditation specifically created for those who are grieving. This meditation is designed to help you feel calmer, more supported, and more open to the possibility that love continues beyond physical life. This episode is not about asking you to believe. It is about understanding why so many people experience comfort, healing, and reassurance through evidential connection. The spirit world is not something distant. It is something that wa...

What does ethical mediumship really require? - With special guest Megan Alisa

1 hr 26 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beyond This, Matilda is joined by medium Megan Alisa for a thoughtful and honest conversation about ethical mediumship, the responsibilities that come with spiritual work, and the common pitfalls developing and professional mediums may encounter. Together, they explore the importance of integrity, boundaries and emotional regulation in mediumship practice, and why evidence should always come before interpretation. Ethical mediumship is not simply about delivering information — it requires neutrality, self-awareness and the ability to recognise when pressure, expectation or ego may begin influencing the connection. In this conversation, Matilda and Megan Alisa discuss: • common ethical pitfalls in mediumship • the pressure to perform and deliver information quickly • the importance of remaining neutral during a reading • how interpretation can unintentionally distort evidence • maintaining professional boundaries with clients • recognising when the desire to be right interferes with accuracy • why silence can be an important part of evidential work • how responsibility strengthens trust in spiritual practice This episode also includes a guided Returning to Centre meditation, helping you reconnect with steadiness, clarity and grounded awareness — an essential skill for both professional mediums and those developing their intuition. Ethical practice protects the sitter, the medium and the integrity of the work itself. Because mediumship is not just about connection — it is about responsibility.

Trusting the Signal: How Mediums Receive Evidence from Spirit (Evidential Mediumship Explained)

40 min

Send us Fan Mail Trusting the signal is one of the most important — and often most misunderstood — aspects of evidential mediumship. Trust is not blind belief. It is not about assuming every thought is communication, and it is not about needing to feel completely certain before speaking. Trust develops through experience, evidence, and a willingness to allow information to unfold naturally. In this episode, Matilda explores how mediums receive information through references, impressions, emotions and symbols which must then be translated into language. Because mediumship is interpretive, validation becomes part of the process. Spirit provides the reference, the medium communicates what they perceive, and the sitter recognises the meaning. Together, evidence becomes clearer and trust strengthens. We discuss why doubt can interrupt perception, how the nervous system influences clarity, and why patience and concentration are essential skills for mediums at every stage of development. The episode also explores why names are not always received perfectly, yet relationships, personality traits and shared memories often provide stronger and more meaningful evidence of connection. For those developing their abilities, this conversation offers insight into how confidence grows over time, why interpretation is part of evidential work, and how learning to trust your signal can strengthen accuracy and integrity. For those considering a reading, this episode provides a deeper understanding of how communication with Spirit works, why validation matters, and why evidential mediumship is a collaborative process rather than a performance. This episode emphasises ethical responsibility, humility, and the importance of allowing evidence to build naturally. Trust develops through practice, reflection, and a commitment to accuracy over assumption. Includes a guided meditation for concentration and focus to help quiet the mind and strengthen awareness of subtle information. Whether you a...

The Comfort Trap: Why You Stay Where You’re Unhappy

34 min

Send us Fan Mail The Comfort Trap: Why You Stay Where You’re Unhappy In this deeply honest episode, I explore why so many people stay in situations they have already outgrown — and why real change often only happens when staying the same becomes more uncomfortable than moving forward. We talk about the hidden ways people avoid change, including creating conflict instead of making decisions, waiting for the “right time,” and remaining loyal to identities that no longer reflect who they are becoming. This episode is both confronting and empowering, offering insight into how your nervous system, sense of self, and fear of the unknown can keep you stuck — even when you know something needs to shift. As always, this conversation is grounded, practical, and designed to help you move forward with clarity rather than pressure. The episode also includes discussion of upcoming events, energetic themes, and predictions for the coming months, helping you understand why many people are currently feeling pushed toward change, reassessment, and new direction. We are in a period where many are being asked to realign, release what no longer fits, and make decisions that may feel uncomfortable now but ultimately create greater stability and authenticity. 🔑 KEY THEMESWhy people stay stuck even when they know something is not right Understanding the internal conflict between comfort and alignment. The nervous system and familiarity Why familiar discomfort often feels safer than unfamiliar possibility. Creating conflict instead of creating change How analysing, revisiting, and looping can become avoidance.

Fear, Trauma, or Intuition?

36 min

Send us Fan Mail “Trust your intuition.” It’s one of the most common pieces of advice in spiritual spaces… but what if it isn’t always true? In this episode of Beyond This, Medium Matilda explores an uncomfortable but important truth: not every gut feeling is intuition. Sometimes what we believe is guidance is actually fear, past trauma, anxiety, or simply the part of us that wants something to be true. Learning to develop real intuition isn’t about blindly trusting every feeling that appears. It’s about discernment — understanding the difference between emotional reactions and genuine inner knowing. In this episode we explore: • Why intuition is often much quieter than people expect • How fear and anxiety disguise themselves as intuitive signals • The role trauma and past experiences play in our decision-making • How to recognise the difference between intuition and wishful thinking • A guided meditation to help you connect with your intuitive voice True intuition doesn’t usually create chaos or urgency. It creates clarity. If you’ve ever questioned whether the voice inside you is guidance, fear, or simply hope, this episode will help you begin to recognise the difference. Listen, reflect, and remember: the quietest voice within you is often the one worth hearing.

Waiting to Be Saved: The Rise of Spiritual Psychosis Online

30 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beyond This, Medium Matilda explores a growing phenomenon within modern spiritual spaces — the rise of what can only be described as spiritual psychosis online. Across social media, more and more people are searching for certainty about the future. Spiritual creators are predicting events, claiming messages from guides, and positioning themselves as the ones who know what is about to happen next. But when spirituality becomes about waiting for someone else to save us, something fundamental is lost. In this episode, Matilda unpacks the difference between true spiritual guidance and spiritual escapism, and discusses the psychological and emotional forces driving people toward prophecy, predictions, and digital saviours during uncertain times. She also addresses the ethical responsibility of spiritual teachers, the danger of surrendering personal agency, and why real spirituality should always return power to the individual. This is an honest and thought-provoking conversation about discernment, responsibility, and staying grounded in a noisy digital world. The episode concludes with a calming guided meditation designed to help listeners reconnect with their own intuition and inner authority. In this episode: • What “spiritual psychosis” looks like online • Why uncertainty drives people toward prophecy and prediction • The rise of the saviour dynamic in spiritual communities • The difference between evidence-based spirituality and spiritual authority • Why waiting to be saved disconnects us from our own power • How to stay spiritually connected while remaining grounded Where to find Matilda  Website Patreon Are you Listening Course An Evening with Matilda - Evidential Mediumship Group Support the show

From Whisper to Shock: What the United States Is Teaching Us

29 min

Send us Fan Mail The Tickle. The Push. The Bang. Spirit never begins with chaos. It begins with a whisper. In this powerful episode of Beyond This, Medium Matilda breaks down the spiritual pattern she has witnessed through thousands of readings and real-life awakenings: First comes the tickle — subtle intuition, quiet discomfort, the feeling something no longer fits. Then comes the push — pressure builds, relationships strain, dissatisfaction grows. And if we continue to ignore it? Life delivers the bang. Not punishment. Interruption. Matilda explores how this pattern plays out not only in personal lives, but collectively — using the current state of the United States as a mirror for what happens when early warnings, civic responsibility, and intuitive discomfort are repeatedly ignored. This is not about politics. It is about consciousness. When we disengage, when we assume “someone else will fix it,” when we tolerate misalignment for too long — disruption becomes the teacher. In this episode you’ll learn: Why Spirit respects free will — even when we choose poorlyHow to recognise the tickle before life needs to shoutThe difference between punishment and awakeningHow collective apathy turns into collective interruptionWhy the bang is often the beginning of real alignmentPlus: a powerful grounding meditation to bring you back to centre when the world feels unstable.

The Questions People Don’t Say Out Loud

32 min

Send us Fan Mail Behind every reading, beyond the evidence and validation, lies something far more human — the quiet questions we carry about love, guilt, connection, and whether we are truly alone. In this deeply personal episode of Beyond This…, Matilda takes listeners behind the scenes of mediumship and shares what thousands of readings have revealed about grief, reassurance, and the emotional truths people rarely say out loud. This is not an episode about prediction or spectacle. It is an honest conversation about why so many of us feel spiritually and emotionally tired right now, and why periods of quiet, disconnection, or exhaustion are often signs of integration rather than failure. Matilda explores: What people are actually searching for when they book a readingThe most common unspoken fears shared in mediumship sessionsWhy spirit communication is far simpler — and kinder — than we expectSpiritual exhaustion and the myth of needing to be “high vibration” all the timeWhat mediumship has taught her about love, guilt, and being humanThe episode closes with a gentle guided meditation designed to help you release pressure, reconnect with yourself, and remember that connection to spirit was never something you had to earn. If you’ve been feeling tired, questioning your intuition, or simply needing reassurance, this episode meets you exactly where you are. ✨ Sometimes the most powerful spiritual moments are the quietest ones.

“Karma Doesn’t Need an Audience: Reclaiming Your Peace When Justice Is Invisible”

34 min

Send us Fan Mail There is a deep longing in the collective right now to see accountability — especially when harm has been large-scale, cruel, and systemic. Many people are watching, waiting, and hoping to see public consequences for those connected to exploitation, abuse of power, and political cruelty — including figures tied to the Epstein files and the administration of Donald Trump. That longing makes sense. But what happens when justice doesn’t arrive in a way we can see? What happens when accountability is real — but invisible? In this episode, Matilda explores the emotional and spiritual cost of tying our peace to outcomes we cannot control. She reframes karma as intimate, inevitable, and deeply personal — not a public performance designed to soothe our outrage. This conversation gently challenges the idea that punishment equals healing, and invites listeners to reclaim their energy, their nervous system, and their lives — even while the world remains unfinished. In this episode, we explore: Why the desire for public accountability is so regulating to the nervous systemThe difference between accountability and punishmentHow karma actually works — beyond religious ideas of heaven and hellWhy not seeing justice can leave people stuck, vigilant, and exhaustedHow accountability can unfold privately, psychologically, energetically, and after deathWays to live fully without bypassing harm or outsourcing peaceA deep guided meditation to protect your energy and release what is not yours to carryThis episode includes a grounding, protective meditation designed to help you step out of collective hypervigilance and back into your own body, breath, and life.

The Quiet Work of Spirit

38 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Matilda explores the importance of discernment in mediumship — what it truly means, why it matters, and how it differs from fear-based judgement or public “testing” of mediums. With the rise of social media commentary and spiritual influencers pulling mediumship apart without fully understanding its mechanics, ethics, or humanity, this conversation brings clarity back to the centre. Matilda speaks honestly about what mediumship is — and what it is not — including why imperfection does not equal inauthenticity, and why ego and spiritual absolutism can do more harm than good. This episode also gently addresses the growing trend of publicly testing and critiquing mediums online, offering a grounded perspective on why true discernment is quiet, regulated, and empowering — not loud, reactive, or fear-driven. In the second half, Matilda speaks about group mediumship and what it offers beyond individual readings. She explains why not receiving a direct message in a group setting does not mean you have been missed, forgotten, or overlooked by spirit — and how group events can still bring peace, reassurance, and a deep understanding of the continuation of consciousness. This episode is for anyone navigating grief, curiosity, scepticism, or spiritual overwhelm — and for those seeking a calmer, more ethical relationship with mediumship that honours personal sovereignty, compassion, and truth. A short grounding and clarity meditation is included to help listeners reconnect with themselves after listening.

Using Your Voice When Silence Is a Choice - Allignment

25 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beyond This, Matilda speaks directly to the spiritual community about the cost of silence. As violence, dehumanisation, and state-sanctioned harm unfold globally — including the recent actions of ICE in the United States — many spiritual people feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure whether it’s their place to speak. This episode explores why neutrality is not the same as peace, and why spirituality that avoids accountability becomes complicity. Matilda examines the misalignment between faith, particularly Christianity, and the harm being justified in its name, asking hard but necessary questions about belief, responsibility, and integrity. This is not an episode about politics — it’s about conscience, courage, and what it truly means to live your values. A grounding meditation is included to help listeners regulate fear, reconnect to inner truth, and find the steadiness required to speak from clarity rather than reactivity. Content Warning This episode discusses state violence, death, misuse of religious belief, and systemic harm. Please listen with care. Key Themes The difference between spirituality and avoidanceWhy “staying neutral” is still a choiceWhen faith becomes identity rather than moral compassThe misuse of Christianity to justify crueltySpeaking up without becoming consumed by angerHolding spiritual integrity in uncomfortable timesEpisode Breakdown Opening Reflection: When silence feels safer than truthSpiritual Bypassing vs. Spiritual ResponsibilityUsing Faith as Justification for HarmWhy Spiritual People Must Use Their Voice NowMeditation: Grounding, protection, and clarityClosing Invitation: Choosing alignment over comfort Call to Action If this episode resonated, share it with someone who feels unsure, overwhelmed, or silenced.

Let Them - What Next?

22 min

Send us Fan Mail The phrase “Let them” is everywhere right now — shared as empowerment, detachment, and emotional maturity. But what happens when letting them becomes a way of silencing yourself? In this episode of Beyond This…, I explore the popular Let Them Theory, often associated with Mel Robbins, and gently unpack where it can be helpful — and where it can quietly lead to self-abandonment, emotional bypassing, and nervous-system override. This is not an attack on the idea of letting go of control. It’s an invitation to slow the conversation down. In this episode, we explore: The original intention behind Let ThemHow detachment can turn into emotional avoidanceWhy silencing your needs isn’t emotional maturityThe difference between empowerment and indifferenceHow to honour boundaries without disconnecting from yourselfWhy your nervous system matters in relational dynamicsThe missing half of the conversation: Let MeThe episode closes with a short grounding exercise to help you return to your body, your truth, and your sense of self-trust.

When Belief Becomes a Cage

41 min

Send us Fan Mail When Belief Becomes a Cage : How Spiritual and Political Identities Trap You. In this episode, Matilda explores what happens when beliefs stop being something we hold - and become something that holds us. Across politics, spirituality, wellness culture and online communities, many people are no longer relating to ideas as flexible tools.  They are building identities around them.  Once belief becomes identity, truth becomes a threat. This episode looks at the psychology behind cults  such as Mega and the mechanics that are at work. Rather than asking "Is this true"? the mind begins to ask "does this protect who I am" Matilda breaks it down for you. Along with an in-depth meditation for those wanting to focus and new predictions this is a must listen to episode.

Discernment in Spiritual Spaces

31 min

Send us Fan Mail What happens when spirituality stops being a support and starts becoming an identity? In this episode of Beyond This..... we explore the subtle line between healthy spiritual growth and spaces that quietly undermine autonomy, critical thinking, and self-trust. This is a grounded conversation about discernment — not fear. We talk about how spiritual language can be used to override instinct, how guidance can slide into dependency, and why real spirituality should expand your life, not shrink it. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt confused, disempowered, or quietly uncomfortable in a spiritual space but couldn’t quite explain why. No dogma. No hierarchy. Just perspective, responsibility, and grounded self-trust. Matilda's Website Patreon Embody Mentorship Embody Group Mentorship TikTok You Tube Intimate Mediumship Group Support the show

People will only meet you as deeply as they've met themselves

28 min

Send us Fan Mail This episode is an invitation to stop personalising misunderstanding, stop shrinking to be seen, and stop explaining your depth to people who haven’t yet explored their own inner world. Matilda speaks to why self-awareness determines perception, how projection distorts connection, and why deeply reflective people often feel unseen — not because they are too much, but because they are aware. This is a grounding, compassionate conversation about emotional capacity, discernment, and learning to stay whole without hardening your heart. In this episode, we explore: Why feeling misunderstood is often about capacity, not effortHow self-avoidance limits how deeply someone can see youThe difference between discernment and disconnectionWhy shrinking yourself never leads to real understandingHow to stop chasing validation and start honouring resonance This episode is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misinterpreted, or emotionally ahead of the room — and is ready to stop making that mean something is wrong with them.
