In this grounded yet magical episode of Uncover Your Magic, Ashley welcomes Karen Docherty, internationally recognized psychic medium and spiritual development mentor, for a conversation that will shift the way you understand intuition, mediumship, and your own connection to the other side. Karen shares her own journey from small-town skeptic to full-time medium, and the practical steps anyone can take to awaken their mediumship gifts.

Karen and Ashley explore how spirit messages actually arrive, the difference between imagination and intuition, and how to recognize when a loved one is truly trying to connect. They also discuss how psychic work is based on energetic potential rather than prediction, and why children are often the clearest channels for spirit. Karen explains why many people block their gifts out of fear and how mediumship is not about “getting it right,” but about remembering how to listen.
