Today, Jay welcomes internationally recognized psychic medium John Edward for an eye-opening conversation about grief, healing, and the survival of consciousness. John shares how people often come to him hoping for closure after losing a loved one, only to realize that what they truly find is connection. Rather than “fixing” grief, his work helps people recognize that love continues beyond the physical world and that healing comes not from moving on from loss, but from reframing how we see it. Through his own journey from skeptic to seeker, John illustrates how curiosity and openness can lead us to deeper truths about life and beyond.
Together, Jay and John break down the biggest misconceptions about mediumship, especially the fine line between skepticism and cynicism. John shares why healthy skepticism can actually be a gateway to discovery, while cynicism closes the door before anything begins. He also walks through the scientific studies that have examined his abilities, how he receives information through clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience, and why validation is at the core of every reading.
John emphasizes that no one truly “needs” a reading, they need understanding. By reframing grief as the other side of love, he invites us to honor our emotions, say what matters while our loved ones are still here, and discover meaningful ways to carry their presence forward. From keeping traditions alive to sharing their stories, John reminds us that our connections don’t end, they endure when we choose to include those we’ve lost in our everyday lives.
