What happens when a former corporate guy, Scott Darlington—who used to want a spreadsheet, a script, and a map for everything—starts living by signs, synchronicities, and soul-level trust?

In this episode of The Medium Curious Podcast, Sarah and Jane sit down with Scott Darlington for a funny, heartfelt conversation about how mediumship development, Clair Club practice, and communication across the veil can completely rewire the way you understand your life. Scott shares how his late husband, David, became a clear and persistent communicator—using stars as a sign language to nudge him toward big changes (including sobriety) and to confirm he’s on the right path.

Together, they explore what it means to be heart-led instead of brain-led, why you don’t have to understand how intuition works in order to receive it, and how grief can crack a person open in a way that expands love, presence, and psychic sensitivity. Along the way: David “manages wardrobes,” Claire Club hearts turn into “Star Hearts,” and the tech literally glitches mid-session—because apparently the energy is that real.

This is an episode about trust, love, and remembering that the connection is open—whether you acknowledge it or not.

• You don’t need to understand how intuition works to use it. “No manual” doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
• Sign language with Spirit can be personal and repeatable. Scott’s “multiple stars” became a clear confirmation system.
• The heart is the engine. Clair work gets clearer when you quiet the brain and lead with heart-based connection.
• Grief can expand intuitive capacity. A loss can open the heart wider—viscerally, physically, and spiritually.
• Trust is a practice, not a personality trait. The message keeps coming: “It doesn’t need to be this hard.”
• Getting out of your own way is the work. Doubt and conditioning (church, materialism, “be professional”) shut down the signal.
• Psychic vs. mediumship can feel different. Psychic intuition may “flow,” while mediumship may require a slower, more present connection.
• You’re allowed to be special without ego. Confidence doesn’t have to equal arrogance—it can be alignment.
• Connection is soul-to-soul. This isn’t “brain to brain”—it’s love-based recognition across lifetimes.
• Sometimes the energy does blow out the tech. And yes, it’s weirdly on brand.

“We already know what we want… we just doubt it and we get in our own head.” — Scott

“I’m a former corporate America guy… David died and I quit my job like two months later.” — Scott

That’s the point of life…is love.” — Scott

What happens when a birthday, a mother–daughter healing arc, and a whole lot of Spirit show up in the same recording? You get an episode that’s equal parts weepy, hilarious, grounding, and wildly affirming.

Polly Green and her mom, Maya, join Sarah and Jane for a conversation about intuition that interrupts your day, mediumship coming online, and what it really looks like to learn boundaries when you’re sensitive (and when life has felt like “WTF are we doing here?”). Along the way, we hear about sobriety as a doorway to spiritual clarity, why nature and water can be medicine, and how an honest conversation can transform decades of tension into something they lovingly call “deep fun.”

There’s also a masterclass in intention-setting (hello, Maldives whale shark!), the tenderness of making peace before a transition, and the simplest, truest mantra of the whole hour: life is trustable… maybe.

1. Sometimes intuition speaks once—and that’s the point. A single “voice” can be loud enough to change how you trust yourself forever.
2. Sobriety can be a spiritual boundary, not just a lifestyle choice. They name alcohol as a quick way to lose energy sovereignty—especially for sensitive people.
3. Mediumship without boundaries can feel scary, not magical. The difference-maker is learning to choose what you connect with—and what you don’t.
4. Nature is nervous system medicine. Water, rivers, and the outdoors aren’t just pretty—they can be clearing, resetting, and stabilizing.
5. Healing a parent–child relationship can be surprisingly practical. Say the hard thing. Let it land. Let repair be real. Then—laugh. (That part matters.)
6. “Deep fun” is a legit spiritual path. Depth doesn’t have to be grim. Joy can be devotional.
7. Intentions work better when they’re specific. Not just “have a good trip”—but every step: airport lines, flights, energy, even the whale shark.
8. Your identity can evolve without losing what you love. Letting go of ego around a passion can bring it back to you… cleaner and sweeter.
9. A new mantra for uncertain times: “Life is trustable… maybe.” (And sometimes “maybe” is enough to keep going.)

• “I’ve always had a very strong intuition and I’ve always listened to it.” —Polly
• “People don’t really need me. I want to help them have their own connection without me.” —Polly
• “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it.” —Maya
• “Life is trustable… maybe.” —Maya

A Sunday solo recorded last week when Jane was deep in Sundance energy—packed theaters, popcorn, Q&As, and that electric feeling of watching filmmakers live inside the moment where years of grit and devotion finally become real. It’s like watching the Olympics - which is - yay! Happening this week.

And yet… it’s also been a time of profound dissonance: joy in community, despair in the headlines, and that gut-punch awareness that not everyone gets to feel safe walking out their front door.

So today I want to talk about something that feels urgently needed right now—for your personal projects, your family, and our nation:

The practice of holding a vision.

Not as escapism. Not as a 'let's buy something else'. But as an active, stabilizing, creative force—especially when the world feels like it’s cracking.

In this episode, I share:

• Why Sundance reminded me that visions don’t become real by accident—they become real through sustained attention

• A wild personal story about a soulmate “vision” that eventually led me to meet my husband at Denver International Airport

• How the Hero’s Journey shows us what happens when you say yes to a calling (spoiler: tests, allies, ordeals… and flying monkeys)

• A stunning excerpt from our upcoming guest Mary Porter-Kearns (The Flowers Are Speaking) on imagination, biology, and evolution

• Why it’s possible (and necessary) to hold both the dark and the light—without surrendering either

• A simple 1-minute visioning practice you can start immediately

Shakti Gawain

• “The more we trust and follow our intuition, the more our lives flow, the more we contribute to the evolution of the whole.”

• “Trust is the key to transformation. When you trust yourself, you know how to live.”

• “When we align with our highest vision, we naturally act in ways that support the greater good.”

Mary Porter-Kearns (teaser from an upcoming episode) Dreams and wishes matter… sustained imagination and emotional focus can reshape neural networks and influence patterns of gene expression. Our dreams are not mere thoughts—they are biological signals that help direct how we grow and adapt.

(When her episode drops, you’ll understand why I’m obsessed.)

If meditation feels like too much right now, try this:

1. Sit for one minute

2. Picture a future that feels beautiful, safe, and sane

3. Let it welcome you

4. Attend to it and notice how it makes you feel better

When you can, as best as you can.

• Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain (book)
