Rebecca Rosen shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Rebecca, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day are my sacred foundation. I start with coffee — a simple joy that signals my body and mind it’s time to wake up and be present. I then ease into my prayer and meditation ritual, calling in my Team Spirit (my guides, angels and higher beings of light working with me) and connecting to the Divinity within. This time is about aligning my energy, setting intentions, and asking for guidance on what is mine to carry today and what I can hand over to the Universe.
From there, I move my body in a way that nourishes me. Most days, that means a walk outdoors in nature, some yoga and
resistance training. By the time I return, I feel grounded, centered, and ready to show up fully — for my work, for the people I love, and for myself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
As a spiritual medium and bestselling author, I work as a guide, helping people connect with their team spirit—angels, guides, and loved ones on the other side. For 25 years, I’ve served as an ambassador between the spirit world and everyday life, offering clarity, healing, and connection through readings—both one-on-one and in group settings—as well as through my writing, events, courses, and podcast.
My journey began in a bookstore during college when, struggling with depression, I surrendered into prayer—and unexpectedly, my late grandmother’s spirit began to channel through me. She shared deeply personal details no one else could know, launching me into a path of mediumship grounded in love, authenticity, and proof.
Since then, I’ve authored four books—Spirited, Awaken the Spirit Within, What the Dead Have Taught Me About Living Well, and What’s Your Heaven?—each offering trusted tools and wisdom to help readers awaken their intuition and align with their higher purpose.
I also host the podcast Small Medium at Large, where I explore themes like energy healing, intuition, and soul contracts, channeling spirit messages and offering practical tools to our listeners. I recently recorded season four, set to come out early September.
What makes my work unique is my down-to-earth, compassionate approach—offering validations that open hearts, but always empowering people to awaken their own connection to spirit. I’m not here to speak for others; I’m here to guide you to speak for yourself. Whether through a reading, a group event, a meditation, or a page in a book, my mission is to help affirm that death isn’t the end—and that love truly never dies.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
I was just 13 when I first felt the stirrings of a deeper power in me. One afternoon, my brother, cousin, and my brother’s best friend pulled out the Ouija board—a game that’s supposed to connect you with spirits. For them, it was exactly that: just a game. Whenever they tried, nothing happened or the answers were random. But when I put my hands on the planchette, something entirely different occurred.
Suddenly, it began to move with precision, spelling out names and details that were eerily accurate. I was channeling specific spirits, including our late grandmother Babe—the very same grandmother who would come to me more directly a few years later. She mentioned a handmade pottery piece my brother had given her, complete with his initials—something I had no knowledge of. My brother’s jaw dropped, and to be honest, so did mine.
It was both thrilling and unsettling. We put the game away and never used it again, but that moment planted a seed. Even though I didn’t fully understand it at the time, it was my first real glimpse into a gift that would eventually shape my entire life’s work.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
One of the most defining wounds of my life was losing my father to suicide 18 years ago, when I was 30. We were incredibly close, and his death was devastating. At the time, I was already several years into my work as a medium, helping people connect with their loved ones in spirit. But nothing could have prepared me for the personal impact of such a profound loss.
In the months that followed, my connection with my dad in spirit deepened my understanding of what I already knew intellectually—that the soul doesn’t die. We truly do pick up in spirit where we leave off in life. That truth inspired me even more to educate people on the importance of doing the work to heal while we’re here in the physical—seeking professional help if we’re struggling, especially if suicidal.
It was an incredibly dark season, but I found the silver lining. My own grief gave me what I call “spiritual street credibility.” I could meet my clients in their pain with a level of empathy and understanding that can only come from having walked a similar path. It shaped not only my work, but also my mission—to help people know that love continues, healing is possible, and no one is truly lost to us.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes—what you see is what you get. I’ve always tried to keep things down-to-earth and real, whether I’m on stage, in a session, or just chatting with someone in line at the coffee shop. I want people to feel like they can relate to me, like I’m the girl next door who just happens to talk to the other side. Staying authentic and approachable is important to me, because connection—both here and in spirit—only happens when we show up as our true selves.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope the story people tell about me is that what began in 1997—when I first discovered my ability to connect with the other side, and so many thought I was crazy or had completely lost it—turned out to be something profoundly real and life-changing. That I trusted the process, let my faith be bigger than my fear, and put my head down for decades to do the work.
I want them to remember that I carried a strong work ethic into every reading, event, and project, continually refining my psychic ability so I could be the purest, clearest channel possible. And that, because of that dedication, I was able to bring people hope, healing, and peace in their hardest moments.
