Where Science Meets Soul
Somewhere between surviving and achieving, you forgot you were born sacred. Your soul has been waiting in the stillness of your heart for you to remember.— Sharon Madsen
Episode Summary
Sharon Madsen has spent 30 years doing work that’s hard to put on a business card. She’s a regulated health professional, a Reiki Master Teacher, and a self-described psychic medium — and the people who find her are usually the ones who look most put-together from the outside. The house, the marriage, the career, the success. And a quiet, confusing emptiness underneath it all.
In this conversation she and Jeanne trace where that emptiness comes from — what Sharon calls being out of alignment with your soul — and why so many of us learned to tamp down our own intuition until we couldn’t hear it anymore. Sharon shares astonishing stories from her practice, including channeling a late father’s private nickname for a client in a language she doesn’t speak, and offers a deceptively simple daily practice: standing at the mirror and learning to love the person looking back. Jeanne brings her own thread too, from a childhood premonition of her father’s car accident to the idea that you can’t love your neighbor until you love yourself.
Then it’s Two Truths & A Lie — three unforgettable headlines: healing an elephant with her bare hands, a whitewater rafting accident that nearly killed her, and a meditation-retreat moment she believes was the gift of divine healing. Jeanne makes her guess. Sharon walks through each one. And the reveal is not the one you’d bet on. Stay to the end.
