Rare Medium with Deb Snyder: Psychic Medium Susanna Massari on Mediumship, her E.T. Origins and work as a Death Doula

"I'm a very healthy skeptic, especially in this field. I question everything.”

It's not the opening you might expect from a psychic medium, and that's what makes Susanna Massari such a compelling guest. She is a certified end-of-life doula, a podcast host and the author of Living Beyond Death. Her search has taken her to study with shamans in Peru and in Tuva, on the border of Mongolia. In this conversation with host Deb Snyder, she shares her story with honesty, humor and a refreshing lack of "flowery" language.

Susanna's story begins at about nine years old in Miami. She was looking out the window of a house built on stilts when she saw a huge ball of light glide silently over the treetops. Years of vivid dreams and visits from relatives who had passed followed. Susanna discusses her E.T. origins and her belief many are from “somewhere else.”

Susanna also explains how a reading works for her. She stays open to whatever Spirit wants to share, whether that's a feeling, a vision or a physical sensation. "It's not my reading, it's theirs," she says. If you're feeling called to develop your own abilities, Susanna and Deb offer encouragement. Take classes, read, visit the library, learn free online.

The conversation then turns to the end of life. Susanna offers a calm view on the death, as she sees it as moving from one room to another; a change of dimension. As an end-of-life doula, she explains what that work involves, what a shared death experience is, and why she finds sitting with the dying so beautiful. In this engaging interview, Susanna offers a piece of advice for all of us: "Question everything."

Stay to the end for a bonus Halloween story from Kelley Simpson about her grandfather, Pepe, a visit in the night, and a feeling that never quite went away.

What if the biggest breakthrough in your life came from getting out of your own way? Tom Massari, often called the grandfather of channeling, shares the astonishing story of how channeling entered his life, how he learned to trust the process, and why Abram — the presence he has worked with for more than 53 years — still has something urgent to say about consciousness, fear, and reality. Deb Snyder sits down with Tom Massari for a rare, candid conversation that moves from his first unexplained experiences in the 1970s to the hard-earned discipline of becoming a true medium. Tom breaks down what channeling actually is, who he believes can do it, and the techniques he uses to quiet the mind, release emotion, and step aside so information can come through clearly.

You'll discover: the wild moment that first convinced Tom he wasn't imagining things, why a past-life connection with John Rolfs helped validate his experience, and how a skeptical doctor finally gave him confidence in Abram's guidance. Tom also shares the difference between authentic service and spiritual performance, why he believes too many voices can muddy the work, and how channeling can be healing for the channel as well as the person receiving the message. Then Abram speaks directly, offering a sweeping view of reincarnation, death, timelines, and the nature of consciousness itself. He challenges fear-based living, explains why reality is something you actively design, and delivers a blunt wake-up call about control, judgment, and the power of choosing your own path.

Tom and Abram also speak directly to the chaos of the modern world, offering a message that is both grounding and provocative: stop trying to live by someone else's rules, stop waiting for a better life to happen, and start imagining the reality you want now. This is essential listening if you're drawn to spirituality, mediumship, metaphysics, or simply want a different way to think about fear, purpose, and personal responsibility.

Tom Massari, often called the “Grandfather of Channeling” is an internationally known channel with over 53 years of experience. He is an author, teacher and celebrated mentor. Tom has led thousands of private and public sessions, workshops, seminars, and classes in the United States and internationally. Through Abram Channeling, he invites audiences to explore intuition, self-awareness, spiritual development, personal responsibility, and the deeper architecture of reality.
