Soul Sync with Jason Paul

What happens when we stop trying so hard to find peace and allow ourselves a moment simply to be?
In this heartfelt episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by Scottish medium and teacher Steven Trolland for a conversation about grief, the soul, and the presence of those we love.
Following the death of his brother, Steven found himself overwhelmed by grief and struggling to meditate. Then, sitting on a hillside overlooking a loch in the Scottish Highlands, he took off his headphones, breathed out and experienced a profound sense of belonging within the life around him. He describes that moment as the beginning of his healing.
One thought runs through our conversation: Steven’s belief that the soul can help heal the mind. We explore what that means to him, the space we make for our own nature, and how a quieter awareness can emerge when we ease the pressure to make something happen.
We also talk about his background in competitive snowboarding, the relationship between nerves and presence, and the challenges of learning to trust ourselves in mediumship. Both of us share honest experiences of readings that taught us something, including moments when overthinking interrupted the connection.
At the heart of it is the person behind the evidence: their individuality, personality, emotion and love. Towards the end, Steven shares a deeply personal experience of his brother’s presence, and a reflection on what a hug in the spirit world might feel like.
A warm, thoughtful conversation about connection, finding our own way, and what mediumship can teach us about being alive.

Are you more psychic than you think?
Perhaps you’ve had a feeling about somebody that you couldn’t explain. You’ve walked into a room and immediately sensed something was off. You’ve known you should — or shouldn’t — do something, ignored it… and later thought, I knew it.
For years, I simply called that my gut feeling.
In this episode, the wonderful Chrystal Rose returns to Soul Sync as we explore psychic awareness, intuition and what can happen when we stop putting pressure on ourselves to get everything right and simply begin to experiment.
Before our conversation, I also bring you a rather lively update from my own world — stepping further into full-time mediumship, what I’ve been learning through my own work, and something I am incredibly excited to finally be launching.
✨ NEW ONLINE DEVELOPMENT CLASSES
The Power of You — Online Psychic Development Class
Starting Sunday 25 October 2026
Sundays | 6–8pm UK time | Online via Zoom
This is a friendly, encouraging space to explore your own energy, psychic awareness and the individual way information comes to you. No previous experience is needed — in fact, if you are completely new to psychic or mediumistic development, this is where I recommend beginning.
https://jasonpaulmedium.com/online-psychic-development-classes
Moving in the Intelligence of the Spirit — Online Mediumship Development Class
Starting Monday 26 October 2026
Mondays | 7–9pm UK time | Online via Zoom
A weekly space to explore your relationship with the spirit world, practise evidential mediumship, build confidence and discover more of your own individual mediumistic potential.
https://jasonpaulmedium.com/online-mediumship-development-class
Both classes are hosted by me alongside trance medium Donna King, with teaching, practical exercises, breakout work, experimentation and plenty of room to ask questions, get things wrong and surprise yourself.
In this conversation with Chrystal
We explore why psychic awareness is such an important foundation for mediumship; the difference between psychic and mediumistic information; using tarot, oracle cards, colours, numbers, wax, bones, flowers and everyday objects as ways of exploring your awareness; why tools can build confidence without becoming a crutch; and what happened when I arrived at a psychic fair having completely forgotten my tarot cards.
We also talk about the clairs, trusting subtle impressions, what to do when somebody tells you “no”, practising with people you don’t know, perfectionism in development, and why sometimes the problem isn’t the information we receive — it’s the way we interpret it.
There’s also an unexpected and rather lovely moment involving my dad, some discussion about money and spiritual work, plenty of laughter, and Chrystal leaves us with a beautifully simple message:
Listen to your intuition.
Because perhaps developing psychically isn’t about becoming something you aren’t.
Perhaps it’s about beginning to recognise something that has been there all along.

Who are your spirit guides — and how do you know when they are actually there? Jason Paul and Donna King open the first Mediumship Session with a lively exploration of guides, signs, free will, expectation, discernment and the unseen help that may be around us. 
Welcome to The Mediumship Sessions — a new regular Soul Sync series with Jason Paul and medium Donna King.
Or, as Jason rather enthusiastically introduces it… the Chamber of Self-Discovery.
This is a space for curiosity, experimentation and honest conversations about psychic and mediumistic development — without pretending that either of us has the entire universe figured out.
And for the very first session, we’re starting right at the beginning with something that fascinates so many people when they first begin exploring the spirit world:
Spirit guides.
Who are they? Does everybody have them? Do they really have names? How do we know when they are around — and how do we distinguish their influence from our own thoughts, imagination, expectations or ego?
Donna shares her extraordinary experience of being aware of her guides from early childhood, including the deeply emotional period when that communication became quieter and she had to learn not to rely upon them for every answer.
Together, Jason and Donna explore the many different ways we might experience guides and spiritual helpers, including:
What a spirit guide actually is
Whether everybody has guides
Why guides may appear to step back
Names, identities and our very human desire to define the spirit world
Signs, synchronicities and recognising guidance
Different guides and teams working at different stages of our lives
How sitting in stillness can help us become familiar with guide energy
Why strong psychic foundations matter
Whether guides can intervene in moments of danger
Free will, choice and the possible paths available to us
How much guides may understand about our future
What the presence of a guide can actually feel like
Why guides do not judge us for our mistakes
The difference between guidance and becoming dependent upon guidance
Why expectation can become one of the biggest obstacles in psychic and mediumistic development
Asking better, more open questions
Guide, higher self, subconscious mind or ego — how do we begin to tell the difference?
As the conversation unfolds, one idea keeps returning: developing a relationship with spirit is not about forcing an experience or desperately trying to get something right.
It is about becoming curious enough to notice.
And perhaps that is what the Chamber of Self-Discovery is really about.
The Mediumship Sessions will continue weekly, with Jason and Donna exploring different aspects of psychic awareness, mediumship and spiritual development — sharing their experiences, challenging ideas, answering listener questions and, most importantly, encouraging you to experiment and discover how your own awareness works.
New Psychic & Mediumship Development Classes

What if the parts of yourself you once tried to suppress were actually trying to guide you all along?
My connection with this week’s guest, medium Kerstin Caldwell, began with one of the most extraordinary remote-viewing experiences I’ve ever had.
During a development exercise, Kerstin held a place from her childhood in her awareness while I attempted to perceive it without knowing where she had taken me. I began describing a large brick building, its atmosphere, rooms, emotions and memories — before the film My Girl suddenly dropped into my consciousness.
That was the moment everything clicked.
Kerstin had grown up in a funeral home.
Her father was a mortician and funeral director, and death, grief and the unseen world formed part of the landscape of her childhood. But alongside that came a sensitivity she didn’t yet understand — experiences, feelings and perceptions that weren’t always recognised or encouraged by the adults around her.
In this conversation, Kerstin and I explore what happens when a sensitive child grows into an adult who finally begins to understand the language of their own body, intuition and consciousness.
We talk about growing up surrounded by death, complicated relationships with our fathers, grief and healing after someone passes, and the possibility that relationships can continue to evolve even after physical death.
Kirsten also shares her remarkable journey into improvisational comedy and teaching — and why the principles of improv have become so intertwined with the way she now understands mediumship.
Because both ask something very similar of us:
Can we stop trying to control what happens next?
Can we remain present?
Can we trust what arrives?
And can we allow ourselves to be fully ourselves?
We also explore the nervous system and sensitivity, the impact of trauma, meditation, energetic overwhelm, psychic awareness, children who appear naturally sensitive to the unseen world, spiritual protection, understanding your own energy and why mediumship should never become about squeezing ourselves into somebody else’s way of working.
There’s a theme running underneath this entire conversation that I think matters enormously:
Perhaps development isn’t always about becoming something new.
Perhaps sometimes it is about removing everything that taught us not to trust who we already were.
Kerstin puts it beautifully towards the end of our conversation — her aim is to become the “me-est me” she can possibly be, while giving other people permission to become the fullest expression of themselves too.
And maybe that is part of the spiritual journey for all of us.
To become more present.
More curious.
More playful.
Less afraid of getting it wrong.
And more willing to discover what becomes possible when we stop trying quite so hard to be anything other than ourselves.

Also in this episode
I share some news about a new chapter in my own work.
Very soon, I’ll be launching psychic and mediumistic development classes and circles, with opportunities to work with me both online and in person.
These will focus on helping you understand your own connection, develop confidence, explore your individual way of working and approach mediumship as the creative, deeply personal process I believe it is.

This is a very personal episode of Soul Sync, recorded on my birthday and at what feels like one of the biggest crossroads of my life.
After ten years of building and running my legal recruitment business, I’ve finally stepped away from the identity that shaped so much of my adult life. I didn’t necessarily leave with the outcome I once imagined, but somewhere along the way the question stopped being, “How much can I get from this?” and became, “What is my soul actually asking me to do?”
Over the summer, I gave myself permission to stop, breathe and immerse myself in mediumship. And something has shifted.
My recent week at the Arthur Findlay College moved me more deeply than I expected. Through demonstrations, experiments, synchronicities and some extraordinary experiences with the spirit world, I found myself becoming increasingly humbled by the intelligence behind spirit communication — and by what it truly means to serve it.
In this episode, I talk openly about that journey, including a powerful communication with a young boy in spirit during the final days of the course, what it taught me about staying in the power rather than getting ahead of the communication, and why I’ve begun to think very differently about development, evidence and even the importance of getting a “no”.
I also explore why I believe psychic development is such an important foundation for mediumship, how spirit can use our own memories, emotions and lived experiences as a language through which to communicate, and why mediumship has begun to feel stronger and more natural since I stopped forcing life in a direction that no longer felt right.
And, perhaps most importantly, I share the decision I’ve finally made.
I’m taking the leap.
I’m stepping fully into my mediumship and into a life that feels much more aligned with who I am and what I feel I’m here to do.
There is a lot more coming on Soul Sync over the next few weeks — conversations about mediumship development, psychic awareness, sitting in the power, understanding spirit communication and some of the experiments that have completely changed the way I think about this work.
For now, though, this is simply me checking in with you from the middle of the change rather than waiting until I have everything figured out.
Because sometimes life begins to flow when we finally stop fighting where it is trying to take us.
