Have you ever let one person's opinion make you question everything you know about yourself? My friend, I've been there. In this episode of Motivational Medium, I'm sharing what happened when one piece of negative feedback after a live event sent me straight down that negativity rabbit hole. Never mind all the lovely comments I'd received. My brain grabbed hold of that ONE opinion. Sound familiar? I talk about why doing all the mindset and energy work doesn't mean life suddenly stops affecting you. We're human! The difference is having the tools to bring yourself back. I'll share how I sat with what I was feeling, rather than pretending everything was fine, and then used gratitude, journalling, music and movement to reset my energy. We also get into that little bugger called imposter syndrome. I'll show you a simple way to challenge it by looking back at everything you've already achieved. Because someone else's opinion doesn't erase your experience, your hard work or everything that got you here. You can't make everybody like you and you don't need to. Your job is to keep showing up as you. What helps you reset when somebody's opinion knocks your confidence? Come and tell me over on Instagram.

How do you protect your energy without cutting people you love out of your life? Have you ever spent time with someone you love, only to walk away feeling absolutely drained? In this episode I'm answering your questions, starting with a big one. How do you protect your energy around negative family members without avoiding them altogether? I talk about raising your own vibration, recognising what affects your energy and why changing your expectations into appreciations can completely change how you feel around someone. I'm also answering a question for anyone starting out in mediumship. I share the things I've learned from doing thousands of readings, why a "no" isn't something to fear, and why you should never stop learning. Most importantly, stop watching what everyone else is doing and focus on YOU. Trust what you feel, learn from spirit, find the people who feel right for you and be willing to step outside that comfort zone. If your dream feels massive right now, chunk it down. I share why I once showed up and taught a workshop to just ONE person as though the room was full. We all have to start somewhere. One person, one reading and one little step at a time. Keep going because you never know what that little beginning can grow into. Let's connect Who came into your mind when I talked about protecting your energy?

Would you like to know what really happens when spirit steps forward with a message? In this episode, I'm sharing another series of live spirit connections, bringing through messages for people I've never met. These readings are done without anyone sitting in front of me, simply by trusting spirit completely. Before we begin, I also answer one of the questions I'm asked the most. How is it possible to receive such accurate messages without the person being there? You'll hear several beautiful spirit connections, each filled with love, validation, and reassurance. I also explain what happens during mediumship, why keeping an open mind can make all the difference during a reading, and why I believe our loved ones in spirit are always close by, even when we don't realise it. Whether one of these messages is for you or not, I hope this episode brings you comfort, hope, and a reminder that love never truly leaves us. If one of these readings resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a message and let me know what landed.

Have you ever found yourself wondering if you're really listening to your intuition? Maybe you're standing at a crossroads, thinking about changing careers, becoming a parent, or simply trying to protect your peace in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming. In this episode, I'm sharing some beautiful feedback from last month's spirit messages and the incredible validations that came through. It never ceases to amaze me how spirit reaches exactly the people who need the message at exactly the right time. I also answer some wonderful listener questions about trusting yourself when making big life decisions, overcoming the fear of stepping into the unknown, and how to protect your energy from people and situations that leave you feeling drained. We'll chat about raising your vibration, trusting the wisdom you've already gained through your own life experiences, and why the energy you bring into the world has such a powerful ripple effect on those around you. So if you've been feeling a little stuck, questioning yourself, or simply need a reminder that you're stronger and more intuitive than you realise, I hope this episode leaves you feeling uplifted, empowered, and ready to trust yourself just that little bit more.

Have you ever wondered if your loved ones in spirit are still around you? Sending signs, nudges, or messages when you need them most? In this very special episode of Motivational Medium, I did something completely different. I sat quietly with spirit, trusted what came through, and shared spontaneous readings for the listeners tuning in. There was no script or planning. Just pure connection and trust in the spirit world. And it turned into such a beautiful experience. Throughout this episode, I bring through messages from loved ones in spirit, including a beautiful father with a neurological condition wanting to thank his family for the love and care they gave him, a vibrant young girl whose energy filled the room with fun and reassurance, and a loving mum in spirit reminding her family that she's still very much around them. These messages are filled with comfort, validation, signs, and little details that may resonate deeply if they're meant for you. If you've been questioning signs from spirit, struggling with grief, or simply wanting reassurance that your loved ones are never truly far away, this episode will remind you that love continues far beyond this world. Sometimes spirit works in the most unexpected ways. I'd love to know if any part of this episode resonated with you.

Have you ever wondered if your loved ones in spirit are still with you, or if you missed your chance to say goodbye? In this episode, I answer some of the most heartfelt questions I receive at my live events, the ones people are often too afraid to ask out loud. We talk about guilt after loss, signs from loved ones, and what's really happening in the spirit world. If you've ever worried that someone in spirit is upset with you, I want you to hear this, because the truth might bring you more peace than you expect. I also share my thoughts on grief, intuition, and those moments in life when things don't go to plan. Like not getting the job you thought was yours or feeling disconnected from your path. I walk you through how these moments are often guiding you somewhere better, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. And then we go deeper into reincarnation, soul connection, and how our loved ones can still be with us while also showing up in the next generation. I share a personal story about my family that still gives me goosebumps. This one will really get you thinking about how connected we all truly are. I'd love to know, what signs have you received from your loved ones?

Have you ever felt like you already know the answer, but you just don't trust it? In this episode, I share what really happens when I connect during my live mediumship events and how I tap into that strong inner knowing. The truth is, my friend, it's not something special that only I can do, it's something you can learn too. I talk about how your higher self is always guiding you, but your conscious mind loves to jump in and muddy the waters. I walk you through how to begin trusting that quiet voice within. Not overthinking it or analysing it. Just feeling it. I also guide you through a simple, powerful meditation you can come back to anytime, so you can start building that connection for yourself and feel more certain in your decisions. This episode will help you understand what your inner knowing actually feels like, how to recognise it, and how to start using it in your everyday life. Because once you trust it, everything changes.

Have you ever wondered why grief feels like it will swallow you whole and how you're ever meant to feel "normal" again? Grief changes you. In this episode, I share one of the most personal chapters of my life, the night my beautiful mum passed away, and how that loss shaped not only my heart, but my purpose. I read Chapter Eight from my book The Grateful 3 Approach to Life, where I open up about caring for my mum through terminal illness, the anger and anxiety that followed her passing, and how I found myself stuck between depression and frustration for years. I talk honestly about panic attacks, feeling lost in the world, and the moment I realised I had a choice. Stay stuck, or start again. If you're walking through grief right now, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you understand the stages of grief, how to stop living in the pain cycle, and how gratitude can gently guide you back to light. I share the exact three-step process that helped me move forward, without pretending the loss didn't hurt. You will learn how to face your grief, reflect on the lessons, and find three small things to be grateful for, even on the hardest days. If this episode touched something within you, I'd love to hear from you. You're welcome to come and connect with me on Instagram and share, only if it feels right for you, where you are in your grief journey at this moment.

Have you ever felt like grief disconnected you from your intuition? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of something really special, my next book! It's the follow-up to The Grateful 3 Approach to Life, and this one's all about mediumship, healing, and how we move through grief. I open up about the real reason I'm writing this book: from the deep grief of losing my mum to the incredible spiritual hug I felt days after she passed. I share how working in palliative care shaped my connection to spirit, why we all have intuitive gifts (yes, even you!), and how signs from our loved ones are often missed when we're drowning in pain. Plus, we touch on past life regression (prepare to have your mind blown), energy healing, and how your focus can literally grow your symptoms or your peace depending on where you put your attention. It's raw, it's real, and it's packed with stories and spiritual nuggets to help you on your own healing journey. Want to feel closer to your loved ones in spirit? Curious about the signs they're sending you? Then this episode is for you. I'd love to know, have you ever felt a "spiritual hug"?

Have you ever wondered why you can want something so badly… yet it still doesn't show up?   In this episode I'm chatting to you about manifesting your dreams without fear, especially as we step into 2026, a powerful year of new beginnings. I share why some people seem to manifest with ease while others feel stuck, and it all comes down to energy, not words. This is about how you feel, not what you say.   I talk you through why the Universe responds to vibration, how fear sneaks in through the mind, and why bartering with your dreams only blocks them. I also share how gratitude plays a massive role in keeping your energy high, and how simple daily practices can shift everything. This is practical, real-life manifestation.   I then guide you through a beautiful 21-day manifestation meditation you can use at night, in bed, as you drift off to sleep. You'll learn how to let the mind step aside, get the body involved, and truly feel your dream as if it's already yours. This episode is something you'll want to save and come back to again and again.   If this episode spoke to you, I'd love to hear about it. What's the one thing you're ready to dream into reality?

Are you setting goals for the new year but already feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to get it perfect?   In this episode I share something straight from my heart, and my book. I read Chapter 5 of The Grateful 3 Approach to Life, all about how I went from basket-weaving in school (literally) to becoming a fully qualified nurse, against all odds. If you've ever felt like your dreams were too big, too hard, or just out of reach, this story will shift your mindset.   You'll hear how fear nearly stopped me, what finally helped me push through, and how celebrating every small win became the secret to making the big ones happen. This is a raw, real journey with a few laughs, some tears, and a whole lot of grit.   By the end of this episode, you'll have a practical and soulful process for setting your goals, plus a new way to feel good while going after them. You're not stuck, my friend. You're just one mini-goal (and a bit of chocolate) away from momentum.   What goal are you chasing next? DM me on Instagram and tell me one small step you're going to take: @annmarielord_   SHOW NOTES: https://annmarielord.com/68-how-celebrating-wins-helped-me-achieve-big-goals/

Have you ever felt guilty for not being there when a loved one passed? Or wondered if they're still with you now? In this episode, I open up about grief, mediumship, and the layers of love that grow around our hearts after loss. I'll walk you through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages of grief, using my own story of losing my mum at just 47 years old. You'll hear how working in palliative care shaped the way I now approach mediumship and why spirit never comes through with blame or judgment. Only love. Only connection. This one's raw, real, and full of heart. Whether you've lost someone recently or years ago, I hope it brings you some peace, some permission to feel, and a reminder that your loved ones are still right by your side. Let me know if this resonated with you. What signs have you noticed from your loved ones lately?

Feeling scattered, stressed, or just not quite here?   In this special episode of Motivational Medium, I'm guiding you through one of my absolute favourite practices, grounding. It's not just for the woo-woo crowd (though we love a bit of woo). Grounding is scientifically proven to lower stress, balance cortisol, and support your overall emotional and physical wellbeing.   I share how grounding helps keep your energy strong, your mind calm, and your heart open, especially when life gets busy or overwhelming. Then, we'll move into a calming, powerful guided meditation to connect you with the earth and bring you back to centre. You can do this standing on grass or lying on the lounge room floor.   So, grab your smoky quartz, kick off your shoes, and come back to yourself. Let's get grounded together.   If this meditation helped you feel calmer or more connected, I'd love to hear about it.

Ever felt like you're faking it, even when you're smashing it?   I'm digging into something I know hits home for so many of us, imposter syndrome.    Whether you're a psychic, healer, nurse, business owner, or just a gorgeous soul doing your best, that little voice that whispers "You're not good enough" needs a serious reality check.   I talk through what imposter syndrome really is, where it sneaks in (usually when you're growing), and how to stop it in its tracks before it ruins your passion, your purpose, or your peace. I also share simple mindset shifts and journalling tips you can use straight away, real strategies that work.   If you've ever questioned your worth or thought about giving up because of self-doubt, please listen to this one. Let me remind you of who you are, because my friend, you're not here by accident. You're already the magic you're searching for.   Don't forget to connect with me on Instagram and let me know, have you struggled with imposter syndrome? What helps you shift out of it?

Feel like everyone's draining your energy lately?   In this episode, I talk about one of my absolute favourite topics, raising your vibration, but not in a woo-woo way. I'm talking about practical, doable, everyday steps that work when life is throwing chaos your way.   I'll walk you through why it's not about changing other people's energy (because good luck with that) but about working on your own. You'll learn how just three moments of gratitude can shift your vibe, and how that shift can ripple out to those around you too.   If you've ever felt exhausted by people, work drama, or your own mind running wild first thing in the morning, this episode is for you. Plus, I've got a special gift for podcast listeners only that you won't want to miss.   What's something you're grateful for right now, like this very second?
