EPISODE SUMMARY:

 

Do genealogy and mediumship seem like strange bedfellows? Maybe. Maybe not.

 

Today we talk with Sharon DeBartolo Carmack, a Certified Genealogist® with an MFA in Creative Nonfiction Writing. She has a Certificate in Demonstrating Mediumship and an Advanced Academic Diploma from the Spiritualists’ National Union in the U.K. To her knowledge, she is the only person in the U.S. to have credentials in both mediumship and genealogy.

 

Listen in to hear how Sharon’s determination to find another way to connect with our ancestors paid off.

 

Topics We Discuss:

 

• [3:28] Sharon’s natural transition from genealogy to mediumship.

 

• [8:07]  Different from Amy’s experiences where spirit spontaneously came to Amy, Sharon had a strong desire to pursue mediumship. She tried multiple paths (reiki, shamanism), but after finding a development circle and a spiritual mentor, things clicked.

 

• [13:55] Sharon’s “spiritual internship”, doing 100 free telephone readings over several months. 

 

• [16:27] Finding the right school and teacher was critical.

 

• [17:46] Amy talks about her new offering: 30/60/90 minute spiritual consultations. Not a therapy session, not a medium reading, but somewhere in between. Reach out at https://www.dramyrobbins.com/services

 

• [21:20] Sharon asserts confidence in mediumship comes from knowing how to respond to a “no” from the person being read.

 

• [27:08] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

 

• [29:40]  Why Sharon does not do private readings, but rather does group demonstrations.

 

• [30:58] How our loved ones and ancestors are together in the spirit world. No one dies alone.
