What Mediumship Teaches Us About Being Alive | Steven Trolland

What happens when we stop trying so hard to find peace and allow ourselves a moment simply to be?

In this heartfelt episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by Scottish medium and teacher Steven Trolland for a conversation about grief, the soul, and the presence of those we love.

Following the death of his brother, Steven found himself overwhelmed by grief and struggling to meditate. Then, sitting on a hillside overlooking a loch in the Scottish Highlands, he took off his headphones, breathed out and experienced a profound sense of belonging within the life around him. He describes that moment as the beginning of his healing.

One thought runs through our conversation: Steven’s belief that the soul can help heal the mind. We explore what that means to him, the space we make for our own nature, and how a quieter awareness can emerge when we ease the pressure to make something happen.

We also talk about his background in competitive snowboarding, the relationship between nerves and presence, and the challenges of learning to trust ourselves in mediumship. Both of us share honest experiences of readings that taught us something, including moments when overthinking interrupted the connection.

At the heart of it is the person behind the evidence: their individuality, personality, emotion and love. Towards the end, Steven shares a deeply personal experience of his brother’s presence, and a reflection on what a hug in the spirit world might feel like.

A warm, thoughtful conversation about connection, finding our own way, and what mediumship can teach us about being alive.
