Beyond This.....

Medium Matilda

Beyond This... is the podcast that explores what happens when evidence meets intuition.

Hosted by internationally recognised evidential psychic medium Matilda, each episode dives into the mysteries of consciousness, life after death, intuition, human behaviour and the moments that challenge everything we think we know. With honesty, humour and an unwavering commitment to critical thinking, Matilda explores the extraordinary without asking you to leave your common sense at the door.

Featuring conversations with world-renowned guests, powerful personal stories, practical intuitive development and thought-provoking discussions on current events, spirituality and the unseen world, Beyond This... is for the curious, the sceptical with manners, the believers and everyone in between.

Whether you're searching for comfort after loss, wanting to strengthen your own intuition, or simply fascinated by the bigger questions of life, this podcast invites you to explore them with openness, discernment and courage.

Because sometimes the greatest discoveries begin just... Beyond This...

The Waiting Room: Why Your Energy Is a Vote Too
Send us Fan Mail 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 mood and how you treat the people in front of you, and no one can recount or overturn those. In this episode: The difference between being tired and being depleted, and why checking the news constantly is like opening the oven to check the cake Why staying centred when life goes your way is “just good weather”, and how to come back to centre when it doesn’t Simple practices for getting through a stressful week What years of connecting with spirit have shown Matilda about what really lasts (hint: spirit has never once given her an election result) Casting Your Vote, a guided meditation to call your scattered energy home and choose the energy you’ll bring to your day Whatever’s going on in the world, you still get to choose who you are in the middle of it. Next week: something new to help you come back to centre every day. Make sure you’re subscribed.

Uncertainty Is Your Superpower
Send us Fan Mail 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 Beyond This…, Matilda explores why uncertainty makes us so uncomfortable, how our brains are wired to seek control, and why learning to sit with the unknown can be one of the most powerful things we ever do. Drawing on behavioural psychology, intuition and more than two decades of experience as a medium, Matilda discusses the difference between fear and intuition, the illusion of control, and how we can stop treating the unknown as something to be frightened of. Because the future doesn't just hold the things we're worried about. It also holds opportunities, experiences, relationships and possibilities we haven't even imagined yet. In this episode, we explore: Why the human brain finds uncertainty so uncomfortable. How our need for control can keep us stuck. The difference between intuition and fear. Why not knowing doesn't mean something is going wrong. How to build trust in yourself without needing all the answers. Finding strength and possibility in life's uncertain moments. Plus, stay until the end for a guided meditation, The Freedom of Not Knowing, designed to help you release the pressure to have everything figured out and become more comfortable with uncertainty. You don't have to know exactly where life is taking you to trust yourself along the way. Sometimes, the most extraordinary things happen when we stop demanding certainty and allow ourselves to discover what's next. Because uncertainty isn't always your enemy. Sometimes, it's your superpower. © Medium Matilda. All rights reserved.

Parenting From Love, Not Guilt
Send us Fan Mail 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 children. And what happens when our children become adults? How do we learn to step back, respect their choices and stop feeling responsible for every decision they make? This episode is a reminder that loving your children doesn't mean being perfect, sacrificing yourself or protecting them from every disappointment. In this episode, we explore: Why parental guilt is so common. The difference between parenting from love and parenting from guilt. How our own childhood experiences influence our parenting. Why boundaries and saying no are important expressions of love. Learning to let go as our children become adults. Releasing guilt while taking responsibility for our mistakes. We finish with a gentle five-minute guided meditation to help you release parental guilt, practise self-compassion and reconnect with the love behind your intentions. Because your children don't need a perfect parent. They need a loving, present and authentic one.

Stop Waiting for the World to Make You Happy
Send us Fan Mail 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. In this week's episode of Beyond This…, Matilda explores why we give so much of our emotional energy to things outside our control, how our expectations of others can keep us stuck, and why building resilience doesn't mean pretending everything is okay. Because sometimes life is bloody difficult. Good people get hurt, people disappoint us, and the world doesn't always make sense. And no amount of positive thinking is going to change that. But we do have choices. If the suffering in the world is weighing heavily on you, perhaps it's time to turn some of that worry into action. Volunteer, get involved in your local community, help someone who's struggling, or find a small way to make a difference. And most importantly, stop waiting for everything to be perfect before allowing yourself to enjoy your life. Matilda also shares a simple challenge: find one thing that brings you joy every single day, even when life feels overwhelming. The episode finishes with a guided meditation to help you release what you cannot control, reconnect with yourself and make space for joy. You can care deeply about the world without carrying the weight of it every moment of your life. Because your joy isn't a betrayal of someone else's suffering.

There Is No Such Thing as a Psychic Child (They're Just New)
Send us Fan Mail 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 busy lives and "it's just your imagination" teach us to stop noticing, and how we can reclaim it. For parents and grandparents, I share gentle, practical guidance on how to respond when your little one says something you can't explain. We finish with a guided meditation to quiet the noise of everyday life, reconnect with the open, curious child you once were, and mindfully invite your loved ones in spirit to come close. Have a story about a child who saw something they couldn't explain? I'd love to hear it. [Add where to send stories.] Note: Please don't listen to the meditation while driving.

The Life You Built for Someone Else
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, and how to find our way out. She unpacks the hedonic treadmill, lifestyle creep and the sunk cost trap. She shares what loved ones in spirit so often remind us about what truly matters. And she offers practical reflection questions to help you define your own version of "enough." The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Home That Fits, where you'll set down the expectations you've been carrying and meet the version of you who is already living a peaceful life. This one is for anyone who has quietly wondered, "Is this really the life I want?"

Awakening Isn't Enlightenment — It's Grief for Who You Used to Be
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 with a guided meditation — You Are Safe While You're Becoming — to remind your body you're not falling apart. You're just becoming.

John Edward Revisited | New Predictions, Mediumship & Self-Limiting Beliefs
Send us Fan Mail 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, and the realities of doing this work professionally. As two working mediums, it’s an honest, fascinating and at times very funny conversation about a world we both know incredibly well. But this week's episode isn't simply a replay. I've recorded a brand-new introduction with some new predictions — sharing a little of what I've been seeing and feeling around current events and what may be coming next. I've also included a guided meditation focused on self-limiting beliefs. So many of the limitations we place on ourselves don't come from what we're actually capable of. They come from the stories we've collected about who we are, what we're allowed to have, what we're good at and what is — or isn't — possible for us. This meditation gives you an opportunity to become quiet, identify some of those beliefs and begin loosening your attachment to the ones that may be keeping you stuck. So whether you heard my original conversation with John Edward in 2025 or you're discovering it for the first time, there is something new for you in this week's episode. In this episode: • New predictions from Matilda • A guided meditation for identifying and releasing self-limiting beliefs • My original 2025 conversation with John Edward • Mediumship, the spirit world and life as a professional medium • Why developing trust and discernment matters • And plenty of conversation between two mediums who have a LOT to say John Edward returns to Australia from October through December 2026. And I'll be back next week with a brand-new episode of Beyond This… As always, thank you for listening — and a huge thank you to my Patreon community, who proudly sponsor Beyond This… and make the podcast possible.

What It Really Means to Be a Medium — Allison DuBois
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 opposite. She talks candidly about anticipatory grief: the mourning that starts long before a death actually happens, why almost nobody prepares you for it, and how animals in a household often carry that same heaviness in their bodies without a word being said. Midway through, Matilda is joined by fellow medium Allison DuBois for a conversation about the personal cost of this work — how she recovers after emotionally heavy sessions, and what she wishes more people understood about what it takes to hold space for others while carrying your own grief. A more honest, unfiltered episode about what it looks like to keep showing up when you're running on empty.

Under the House: Eclipsing Your Self-Limiting Beliefs
Send us Fan Mail 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 never trying, and how these old beliefs quietly sabotage our ability to manifest the life we say we want. I'll share the analogy I come back to again and again — self-limiting beliefs as the foundations of a house — and walk through exactly how to notice, question, and rebuild that foundation from the ground up. This episode also lands right alongside a partial lunar eclipse and full moon in Pisces on August 28th — a combination known for surfacing exactly the kind of buried emotional patterns and old beliefs we're talking about. I'll share what this eclipse window means for you and why it's the perfect moment to release what's no longer serving you. I'll also get personal, sharing my own experience living with a chronic pain disorder and being blind in one eye, and how I've learned that our limits don't have to be the only thing writing our story. This episode closes with a guided meditation designed to help you release an old belief and start reinforcing a new, bigger foundation — so come back to it when you can sit quietly and really listen. If you've ever felt like something invisible was capping what you're allowed to have, to try, or to become — this one's for you.

Purgatory, Anger & the Truth About Mediumship
Send us Fan Mail 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 myth of purgatory and being "stuck" after death How religious conditioning shapes what we expect from the afterlife Why your loved ones are never angry or disappointed with you The truth about suicide and the afterlife (handled gently — see content note below) Whether mediums research their clients beforehand Why a big following or long waitlist doesn't prove someone is (or isn't) legitimate And then — because you don't need a medium to feel close to someone you've lost — I walk you through a guided meditation you can return to any time, using a simple, repeatable practice to sit with your person again.

The Love You Are Not Ready To Receive
Send us Fan Mail 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 messages from spirit about the regret people carry over guardedness, not over loving too much — this episode reframes healing not as a prerequisite for love, but as a practice you carry inside it. The episode closes with a guided meditation designed to help you sit with what it feels like to actually let love in.

The Ones You Didn't Want to Hear From
Send us Fan Mail 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 tidy endings. It's about understanding why these connections don't just disappear — in this life or the next — and what spirit seems to want us to know about the relationships we'd rather leave behind. As always Matilda includes new predictions and an oversight on predictions that happened last week - some of them almost immediately. This episode ends with a deep meditation.

The Soul Already Has Everything it Needs
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 soul arrives whole — you're not broken and becoming, you're whole and remembering. Earth isn't the punishment, it's the classroom — friction is the curriculum, not a glitch. "Triggered" implies something happened to you. "Opportunity" implies something is available to you. Same moment, different posture. Every trigger is a teacher in disguise, pointing at something worth looking at. Retreating doesn't remove the lesson — it postpones it, and it comes back louder. Flow isn't the absence of friction. It's movement through it, not around it. The key question to ask in a triggered moment: "What is this actually offering me?"

The Lie We Tell Ourselves to Feel Safe - Confirmation Bias Certainty and the search for signs
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 really just the sitter's own mind doing the work. From there, the conversation moves into how the same bias plays out in politics and media — why facts alone rarely change a belief tied to identity — and into the quieter, more personal ways it shows up in our everyday lives and relationships. But underneath all of it sits a bigger question: why do we reach for certainty in the first place? Matilda explores the psychology of our discomfort with not-knowing, and why a false certainty can feel safer than an honest question. The episode closes with a guided meditation on sitting with the unresolved — a practice in tolerating uncertainty without rushing to fill it. A more reflective, personal episode — and an honest one, including a candid look at Matilda's own field.

The Identity you Built to Survive
Send us Fan Mail 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 looks like light. Expect a reframe of what awakening actually is, a practical discernment tool for collapse, three journal prompts to start locating who you were before the performance began — and, new for this episode, a short guided meditation to help you meet that self directly. Key takeaways The identity you built as a child to earn love and safety was adaptive, not a flaw — but it wasn't built to last forever Chronic self-abandonment often disguises itself as reliability and strength Burnout is very often self-abandonment wearing the costume of loyalty Real awakening tends to look like loss first, not clarity — the ego mistakes deconstruction for catastrophe A two-question discernment tool for telling genuine loss apart from the death of a performed identity Three journal prompts to begin locating the self underneath the survival strategy A guided meditation practice to meet that self directly, not just intellectually understand it Timestamps 00:00 — Cold open: the client who was tired of performing 04:30 — Segment 1: Why we build the survival self 16:00 — Segment 2: The cost nobody names 27:30 — Segment 3: Reframing "awakening" + the two-question discernment tool 40:00 — Segment 4: What's underneath — three journal prompts 50:00 — Segment 5: Guided meditation — meeting the self beneath the performance Live Event Bendigo Are You Listening Workshop - connect with your guides Zoom Mediumship Demonstration Matilda's Website Social Media Links Patreon Support the show YOU TUBE LICENCE LTA5NNMWIHNMEQC5 Support the show

Have We Made Spirituality Too Complicated?
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 need permission. You don't need to be "more spiritual." You simply need to remember what you've always known. In this episode, we explore: Why "woo-woo" spirituality can unintentionally keep people dependent instead of empowered. How mystifying intuition convinces people they're not ready or not enough. Why your intuition is far more practical, grounded, and accessible than you've been led to believe. The powerful 90-Second Rule and how it can help you distinguish between intuitive knowing and fearful overthinking. Why your first instinct is often your wisest one. How reconnecting with yourself is an act of remembering—not learning. This episode also includes: ✨ A guided meditation to help you reconnect with your own inner knowing and quiet the noise that has pulled you away from yourself. ✨ This week's intuitive predictions and energetic insights for the weeks ahead. If this conversation resonates with you and you're ready to go deeper, I'll also introduce my course Are You Listening?—a practical, grounded experience designed to help you stop searching outside yourself and start trusting the wisdom that's been within you all along. Because intuition isn't a gift given to a few. It's your birthright. You have always known. Sometimes, all you need is a little help remembering.

Ego Both Ways - Is it better to be there - than always right?
Send us Fan Mail 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 any identity built on being right or being the guide, there's a quieter version of the same thing happening in all of our lives — the need to be right in our relationships, the distances we've built out of pride, the people we've quietly left behind to win an argument. This episode closes with a guided meditation on meeting your own ego — where it lives in the body, what it's protecting, and who it might be costing you. It is better to be there than to be right. Sometimes that's the hardest lesson of all. 🎧 New episodes every week 💬 Join the conversation in Connected — link in bio TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Cold open 03:00 — The pattern: tarot readers turning to God 07:00 — Burnout in public spiritual work 11:00 — Spiritual psychosis — naming what nobody will 16:00 — The algorithm of crisis 19:00 — What it does to you, the follower 22:00 — The pivot — ego in everyday life 26:00 — Ego vs integrity: who benefits from being right? 30:00 — The cost of needing to win 34:00 — The common thread 37:00 — What evidential practice taught me about being wrong 40:00 — Guided meditation: meeting your ego 47:00 — Close Live Event Bendigo Are You Listening Workshop - connect with your guides Zoom Mediumship Demonstration Matilda's Website Social Media Links Patreon Support the show Support the show

You Trained Them to Treat You This Way
Send us Fan Mail 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. This isn’t a man-blaming episode, or a marriage-blaming episode. It’s an invitation to look at the model of love you were handed before you were old enough to question it — and to ask, honestly, whether you want to keep building on it. A full guided meditation — “Putting The Ledger Down” — is included at the end to help you move this from your head into your body, where it can actually do something.

The Language of Spirit - Are you Listening?
Send us Fan Mail 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, explaining how Spirit communicates, why messages are often misunderstood, and how fear, doubt, and overthinking can distort what we receive. In this episode you'll discover: The difference between intuition, imagination, and Spirit communication. Why Spirit rarely communicates the way we expect. Common signs and symbols that are often overlooked. How to strengthen your connection to your guides. Why presence is the foundation of spiritual awareness. The biggest mistakes people make when trying to receive guidance. The episode concludes with a powerful guided meditation designed to help you quiet the noise of the outside world, connect with your own inner wisdom, and begin recognising the unique language through which Spirit speaks to you. Whether you're completely new to spiritual development or have been walking this path for years, this episode will help you deepen your awareness and trust the messages that may already be arriving. Sometimes Spirit isn't silent. Sometimes we're simply not listening.
