Summary
Have you ever wondered if that whisper in your ear, that flicker of light, or that thought that came out of nowhere was actually a message from the spirit world? What if the only thing standing between you and clear spirit communication is learning how to trust it?
In this grounded yet magical episode of Uncover Your Magic, Ashley welcomes Karen Docherty, internationally recognized psychic medium and spiritual development mentor, for a conversation that will shift the way you understand intuition, mediumship, and your own connection to the other side. Karen shares her own journey from small-town skeptic to full-time medium, and the practical steps anyone can take to awaken their mediumship gifts.
Karen and Ashley explore how spirit messages actually arrive, the difference between imagination and intuition, and how to recognize when a loved one is truly trying to connect. They also discuss how psychic work is based on energetic potential rather than prediction, and why children are often the clearest channels for spirit. Karen explains why many people block their gifts out of fear and how mediumship is not about “getting it right,” but about remembering how to listen.
If you've ever second-guessed your spiritual experiences or wondered if you might be psychic too, this episode will reassure you: the magic is already working through you. You just need to trust it.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
09:10 How Karen first began receiving intuitive hits as a child (and how she tried to shut them off)
15:40 What spirit communication really feels like (and how to know when it’s not just your imagination)
22:10 Soul’s nature and the Diamond Analogy
35:10 How to tell the difference between a spirit message and your own inner voice
44:40 Why psychic work is about energetic potential, not rigid prediction of the future
51:20 What it means when a loved one shows up in dreams and how to recognize the signs
59:10 How working with spirit helps us heal our grief and live more fully in the present

| 0:27.8 | Each week, I have the incredible honor of introducing you to some amazing souls who have |
| 0:33.6 | not only transformed my life, but are also beacons of inspiration, growth, and positivity. |
| 0:40.1 | These guests have tapped into their inner magic and are eager to share their wisdom, |
| 0:44.8 | experiences, and stories with you. Together, we will explore the profound depth of the human spirit, |
| 0:51.5 | and I invite you to join us on this journey of expansion. So let's get |
| 0:56.4 | this conversation started. Thank you for being here, and let's uncover our magic together. |
| 1:04.2 | Welcome back to uncover your magic. Today's magic that we get to uncover is Karen Dockertie. She is amazing and I am so excited to |
| 1:16.9 | share her with you. Yes, she is a medium, psychic, all the things I love, and I know you do too. |
| 1:23.1 | And Richard always teases me that if she's not a psychic medium, does past life regressions, |
| 1:29.5 | sees your aura, does your Akashic records, all the above, then she probably wouldn't be on this podcast. |

| 1:51.1 | Every step I have taken in life led me to my mediumship. In every job I had before undertaking my development, I worked in the service of others. I always felt frustrated that I couldn't do more |
| 2:02.1 | to ease pain and suffering of others in this life. There was a need to help others reach a place of |
| 2:07.9 | happiness and comfort. That's when Spirit made themselves known and guided me to develop a deep |
| 2:13.7 | connection over my 25-year journey. My work has changed, but my purpose has remained the same, |
