Paranormal Experiences in Therapy, Near Death Research, and Why You’re Not Alone

Ep. 168: March 11, 2026

What if life after death isn’t a belief system, but a research-backed reality? In this expansive episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman sits down with Rev. Karen Herrick, PhD, LCSW, psychotherapist and researcher at the intersection of grief, addiction, spirituality, and paranormal experience. After 30+ years of clinical practice and doctoral research in spiritual psychology, Rev.

From a spontaneous rebirth experience during breathwork to working with trauma survivors who reported paranormal protection, Rev. Herrick explains how spirituality and psychotherapy are not opposites, but partners. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when we die, how the soul functions, whether spiritual experiences are “real,” or how synchronicity guides our lives, this episode will expand your lens. Rev. Karen’s works spans many modalities and brings spirituality into what seems like almost every conversation. Listen in for a delightful reading from her book, “Grandma, What is a Soul?”, a question asked by her very wise grandson!

Psychic Medium Readings, Trusting Spirit, & the Power of Positive Tarot

Ep 167: March 4, 2026

What if the answers you’re searching for are already within you… and you just need someone to help you see them clearly? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman sits down with UK-based intuitive psychic medium and tarot reader Diane Yacobi for a deeply grounded conversation about spirit guidance, trusting your intuition, and why she calls herself a positive reader. Diane shares the story of growing up feeling different, hearing a “screaming voice” within that later became the doorway to spiritual awakening. After trauma, burnout, and major life shifts, she discovered meditation, transcendental practices, tarot, and eventually stepped fully into her calling as a psychic medium. Diane shares with us what it means to be a positive tarot reader, how psychic medium readings can clarify relationships and life decisions, why we’re often drawn to unhealthy patterns and how to shift them, how meditation and transcendental practices quiet mental noise, signs loved ones give before crossing over, how to recognize when it’s time to release negative energy or relationships, and why authenticity is more powerful than external validation.

What if you stopped trying to fix yourself and started practicing the art of returning to yourself?

If you have ever felt like you are behind, broken, unfinished, or not there yet, this episode is your invitation to slow down and remember who you are beneath conditioning, shame, and inherited patterns.

In this deeply grounded and expansive episode of Mystical Sisterhood, host Maureen Spielman sits down with Aleksandra Ceho, master astrologer, martial artist, and hermetic philosopher, for a conversation that reclaims astrology as a sacred, strategic tool for modern leadership.

Coming Home to Yourself: Healing from Spiritual Manipulation and Reclaiming Inner Trust

Ep. 155: December 10

Have you ever found yourself lost in a situation where everything seemed to align perfectly, only to realize that reality had a different story to tell? How do you find your voice amid chaos and deception? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I sit down with Melanie Ramone for the second time to discuss a profound and transformative journey. What was intended to be a spiritual retreat of enlightenment turned out to be a test of inner strength and perseverance. Melanie shared how this experience, shrouded with manipulation and fear, ultimately led her back to her own truth and strength. This challenging journey taught Melanie one of the most valuable lessons: unwavering trust in her intuition. What appeared to be an unsettling experience became the groundwork for a transformative awakening. It reinforced the idea that the answers and guidance we seek externally are often found within ourselves. Melanie's story serves as a light for anyone journeying towards self-discovery and authenticity. It is a reminder to listen to our bodies, trust our intuition, and remain true to our inner voice amidst external chaos. As I emphasize in the podcast, the journey of self-trust and the act of surrounding oneself with other empowered individuals can light the path for personal growth and transformation.
