Stepping Stones: Living, Voting and Manifesting In Alignment
#16
Today at 7:00 AM

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...


The Waiting Room: Why Your Energy Is a Vote Too
11/03/2026

The votes are in, the counting goes on, and many of us are stuck in the waiting room. We’re refreshing our phones, bracing for news, and feeling a kind of tired that a nap won’t fix.

This week on Beyond This, Matilda talks about why waiting is so hard on us and where our energy really goes when we can’t control what happens next. Whichever way the results land, your ballot isn’t the only vote you get. Every day you cast votes with your attention, your words, your moo...

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 Be...

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 chil...

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.

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

10/06/2026

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...


The Life You Built for Someone Else
09/30/2026

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...


Awakening Isn't Enlightenment — It's Grief for Who You Used to Be
09/15/2026

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 wi...


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

 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...


What It Really Means to Be a Medium — Allison DuBois
09/01/2026

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 opposi...

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...

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 Love You Are Not Ready To Receive

08/11/2026

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...


The Ones You Didn't Want to Hear From

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...


The Soul Already Has Everything it Needs
07/28/2026

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 Lie We Tell Ourselves to Feel Safe - Confirmation Bias Certainty and the search for signs
07/21/2026

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 r...


The Identity you Built to Survive

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 lo...


Have We Made Spirituality Too Complicated?
07/07/2026

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 ne...

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...

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.

The Language of Spirit - Are you Listening?

What if Spirit has been speaking to you all along, but you've been expecting it to sound different?

In this deeply insightful episode of Beyond This, Medium Matilda explores the subtle and powerful language of Spirit. From intuition and synchronicities to dreams, feelings, signs, symbols, and those moments that simply cannot be explained away, Spirit is constantly communicating with us—but learning to recognise that communication is a skill.

Matilda shares her own experiences as one of the world's most recognised evidential mediums and predictive psychics, ex...


Hungry People Eat Lies - Why we settle for crumbs

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.

Together, we unpack the difference between love and relief, why false security can feel safer than genuine self-trust, and how unmet emotional needs can keep us repeating the same patterns in relationships, spirituality, and...

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.

From dimming your personality and questioning your worth, to making yourself smaller in relationships, friendships, workplaces, and even families — this episode is a reminder that you were never “too much.” You were simply taught to take up less space.

Matilda shares honest insights into confidence, self-worth, emotional conditioning, and the subtle ways people abandon themselves to avoid...

Everything You've Been Wanting to Ask

This is the episode the community has been asking for. Matilda sits down solo to answer the questions that land in her inbox and DMs most — the ones about how the spirit world actually works, what mediumship really feels like from the inside, and how to begin trusting the intuition you already have.

She answers honestly, including the question she gets asked more than almost any other — am I ever wrong? — and what that means for the integrity of this work.

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...


Belief or Influence? Propaganda, Power & Trusting Yourself

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...


Are You Seeking Guidance… or Avoiding Responsibility?

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 con...


There Is Nothing to Fear in Spirit
04/14/2026

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, Mati...


The Unhealed Healer - The Damage they can cause
04/14/2026

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 se...

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 in...


Trusting the Signal: How Mediums Receive Evidence from Spirit (Evidential Mediumship Explained)
03/31/2026

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. Spir...

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 empo...

“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 discernm...


Waiting to Be Saved: The Rise of Spiritual Psychosis Online

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.

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:

Then comes the push — pressure builds, relationships strain, dissatisfaction grows.

And if we continue to ignore it?

The Questions People Don’t Say Out Loud

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...


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

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 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...

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...

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.
