Spirit School: Recent Episodes

squamishmedium

My name is Danielle Searancke, also known as The Squamish Medium

I created this space to inspire lightworkers to go from fear to clear and get connected to their sacred abilities and spiritual practices. I love supporting women through the creation of their heart-centered spiritual business in a way that lights them up and aligns with their purpose! I am passionate to share all I know about my journey to becoming a professional psychic medium, mentor, and coach for the developing lightworker and spiritual entrepreneur. Mediumship, Intuition, Psychics entrepreneurs, and mystics all welcome

After three years of keeping this exciting secret, I'm finally able to share the news. Squamish Medium, my TV show, is premiering September 2 in Cree (Plains) on APTN Languages, and September 14 in English on APTN.

In this episode I go back to the beginning: mediumship readings at my kitchen table in 2013, launching this podcast in 2018, opening my in person school in 2023, and everything that led to two Indigenous women approaching me 'out of nowhere' with an idea for a TV show.

I share a bit of what filming was really like, what surprised me most about the experience, and why this show matters to me as a mother, an entrepreneur, and an Indigenous woman reconnecting with my culture.

Thank you for growing with me. This podcast started it all.

This one started as a private exchange and became something I knew I had to share.

Eileen Himel came back into my life this year through a lot of synchronicity and divine orchestration. She works with the nonspeaking autistic community using letter boards, and when the Telepathy Tapes came out I became obsessed. So we did an exchange. She got some mentorship, I got to pick her brain. And then I asked if I could record it.

I want to have her back for a full interview once you have had a chance to listen and send me your questions. For now, here is our conversation exactly as it happened.

Go listen to Season 1 of the Telepathy Tapes before or after this episode. Then come back and tell me what you think.

Part four of the chakra and mediumship series and the one I have been sitting with the longest.

The heart is the bridge chakra. Everything you did in root, sacral, and solar plexus has to integrate here before it can become service. In this video I share what happened to my mediumship in 2020 when I experienced real grief for the first time and could not do readings for months. I also talk about why ethics and integrity are not the same thing and why both of them live here in the heart.

If you work with people in grief, if you are a developing medium, or if you have ever felt fractured between what you know to be right and what you are actually doing, this one is for you.

I am sharing the origin story of how I became a medium and it starts with a latchkey kid coming home from school in the 1990s, turning on the TV, and watching Sylvia Browne on Montel Williams for the very first time.

Sylvia Browne was my unofficial theology growing up. I had no religion, no framework, just her on Montel every Wednesday. In this episode I talk about what she meant to me as a teenager, the letter to the universe exercise from The Other Side and Back that genuinely changed my life, and what it felt like to reconnect with her clips during the pandemic and see everything through a completely different lens.

I cover:

How Sylvia sparked a decades long path to mediumship
My time with Vancouver Paranormal, EVP recordings, and my first passport trip to Chillingham Castle
The letter to the universe exercise and what happened the moment I finished writing it
A balanced look at her legacy: trailblazer and cautionary tale
How the ethics and trauma informed approach I teach today came directly from what was missing in that era
And I want to know: was Sylvia Browne part of your origin story too?

Follow @teiganish on Instagram for the Sylvia Browne clips I reference in this episode. The t-shirt I am wearing is from him too and shirts will be available later this year.

If you knew who surrounded you, you would never be afraid. In this episode I unpack what that actually means.

I share how I developed my faith in spirit guides, the moment that faith completely shattered, and what restored it in the span of thirty seconds through undeniable experiences that make this path worth it all.

I talk about the different realms of unseen helpers, guides, ancestors, inspirers, and the God realm I am still building toward, and what happened at my retreat this year when my guides asked me to introduce them to the room and assured me magic.

I also share the story of Leonard George of Tsleil-Waututh Nation, an elder who showed up on the edge of my bed at my first retreat in 2023 with two messages that changed the direction of my work entirely.

Save the date. September 14th. This story is not finished yet.

I close with Leonard's most beloved story, The Rising of the Spirit. The last four words will stay with you.

The Creator Never Puts a Dream in Your Heart You Cannot Fulfill

See pictures with the stories here: https://www.daniellesearancke.com/the-development-journal/a-message-to-the-youth-the-creator-never-puts-a-dream-in-your-heart-you-cannot-fulfill

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I do not have a dream I am chasing. So I went looking backward instead of forward.

In this episode I trace my actual path. My first dream of becoming a teacher at seventeen. The mentors who saw something in me I could not see in myself. My years in motorsports. The decade at the First Nations Health Authority where I became a mother, a medium, and a confident woman all at once. The keynote I recently gave to a youth summit in Squamish. And what it felt like to realize, twenty six years later, that my original dream had already come true.

I close with a poem from The Wishing Bone Cycle, a Swampy Cree creation story I have come to love.

I am coming off of hosting my fourth Sacred Spirit Retreat and I wanted to share what I opened the retreat with because I think it is something a lot of us are quietly carrying.

Belonging. Not the performance of it. The actual felt sense of it in your body.

In this episode I talk about what belonging really is as a regulated nervous system state, not just a feeling of being liked. I share why Brené Brown's distinction between belonging and fitting in changed one of my core filters for how I spend my time. I talk about the small community moments, like the Squamish acknowledgement nod, that quietly shaped my sense of home over 20 years of living here.

Then I go somewhere more personal. Last summer a friend said something to me in the car that I hadn't been able to say to myself. That my deepest place of not belonging lives inside my own Indigenous reconnection journey as a Swampy Cree woman. I share what that revelation felt like, what I have been doing with it, and how spirit responded by leading me to a 50 year old book called The Wishing Bone Cycle: Narrative Poems From the Swampy Cree Indians.

I close with a reading of the Turtle poem and an invitation: scan the room wherever you are and make someone belong. Even just for a minute.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with her longtime friend and fellow medium Debbie Squizzero, also known as the Singing Medium, for a rich and joyful conversation about the way the spirit world communicates through music. Deb shares how songs began showing up in her readings during tarot class, why she always hears them in her right ear, and how her clients have built entire playlists from the songs their loved ones sent through her over the years.

Danielle and Deb also swap stories about group readings, the resistance that almost kept them both from the work they were born to do, and the health crises that ultimately forced them into alignment. Whether you are a developing medium, a devoted sitter, or someone who has ever woken up with a song stuck in your head that felt like more than a coincidence, this episode will make you listen differently.

This is a conversation between two friends who have walked the path together for nearly a decade, and it shows.

Spirit School Retreat June 8 - 12 BC with me https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spirit-school-retreat

2026 marks my 13th year of mediumship development.

In this episode, I reflect on what has truly sustained me on this path — not the phenomena, not the validation, not the performance — but the maturation process of ego, soul, and service.

Mediumship is not about becoming special.
It is about becoming spiritually mature.

Through the lens of the energy centers, I explore how mediumship development mirrors human development:

• Root — belonging, inherited beliefs, humiliation and dignity
• Sacral — emotional awareness, “Is this mine?”, energetic repair
• Solar Plexus — qualifiers, authority, ego maturation

Spirit School Retreat June 2026 Applications are Open!

https://www.daniellesearancke.com/spirit-school-retreat

In this episode, we unpack a powerful listener question: Can students also become gatekeepers in spiritual spaces?

From mentorship secrets to withheld resources, we explore where "healthy boundaries" end—and where scarcity, secrecy, or ego may begin.

This isn't a call-out episode—it's an invitation to look deeper at how we share, protect, and pass on spiritual knowledge. We talk transparency, reciprocity, cultural protection, and why some teachings are guarded for good reason.

In This Episode, We Explore: Gatekeeping vs. Boundaries: How to tell whether someone is protecting themselves—or protecting exclusivity. * Scarcity and Insecurity: The hidden fears behind withholding teachers, tools, or lineage. * Reciprocity in Community: When sharing is medicine—and when it must come with respect and responsibility. * Cultural Protection: Why some teachings must* be guarded to preserve tradition and fight colonization. * Business Spaces: What happens when entrepreneurs gatekeep strategy? * Personal Accountability: What to do when someone else's secrecy triggers something in us.

When does spiritual teaching cross into control? Danielle S. and Danielle B. explore “weaponizing spirituality”—the moment channelled messages or confident truth claims become decrees that override your agency. They unpack pandemic-era examples, business-space tactics (such as blind offers, urgency, and the “you’re not ready” approach), and gatekeeping in training. You’ll hear how humility, transparency, and psychological safety create healthier containers for learning, plus quick cues to spot red flags and practices to restore balance—like shared authority, longer decision windows, and clear expectations. If absolutist language, guru-centering, or pressure to buy now make your nervous system spike, this episode offers a grounded reset and questions to bring your power back online.

Highlights:

Defining weaponized spirituality and its impact on personal agency.
Business tactics: blind offers, urgency marketing, and inflated payment plans.
Gatekeeping in training with labels like “untrained” or “unqualified.”
Mediumship as an interpretive art with room for error and growth.
Humility as the antidote to absolutism in spiritual teaching.
Psychological safety built through clarity, transparency, and time.
Restoring balance with shared authority, alumni access, and peer learning.
Red flags: absolutist language, guru-centering, urgency, and pressure.
Self-check prompts to notice when you may be giving away power.

Danielle S. and Danielle B. pick up their conversation about ethics, boundaries and the evolution of their client → collaborator → friend relationship. They trace the arc from a first evidential reading to working together for the past five and a half years — interspersed with stories about grief, postpartum, entrepreneurship burnout, spiritual tools, and how to keep a working friendship healthy.

Highlights:

The first reading: Danielle B. remembers coming for grief support after her father’s death — and getting future details that have since come true.
Evidence first: Danielle S. explains why she always brings through verifiable mediumship details before offering psychic predictions.
Teaching empowerment: how Danielle S.’s mentorship changed Danielle B.’s relationship to spirit work and gave her permission to trust her own intuition.
Pendulum experiment: a revealing anecdote about discovering tools, the doubting mind, and how the two Danielles use quick yes/no messages to validate readings for each other.
Boundaries in practice: concrete examples of how they negotiate work rhythm.
Containment vs. bleeding: a key phrase — containment — used to describe emotional maturity in their working friendship, and how it helped when postpartum or business overwhelm showed up.
When closeness changes readings, both note how intimacy can shift mediumship, and why friends sometimes become less likely subjects for readings.
Why they stay: treating each other like professional clients created space, clarity and longevity.

This conversation is weekly—leave a comment, tag and share on social, and send in your questions for future episodes.

In this episode, Danielle returns to Spirit School after a season of filming and welcomes a new co-host. Together, they explore what it means to serve with integrity across spiritual work, business, and everyday life, offering real stories, practical reflections, and invitations for your own practice.

• Meet the co-host: how Danielle and Danielle Baker first connected, and why shared values and accountability matter on the mic
• Integrity in the spiritual space: boundaries in client care, energetic capacity, and separating mentoring from mediumship
• People pleasing, energy sickness, and prioritizing health to sustain spiritual service
• Consent and need: why gift certificates can misfire, and how readiness can shape better readings
• Bypassing versus responsibility: intention as the compass, and owning choices and consequences
• Parenting and business parallels: transparency, self-responsibility, and modelling integrity in everyday roles
• Cultural teachings and spiritual maturity: decolonized transparency, lateral kindness, and accountability when repair is possible

Listeners' reflection: how do you recognize when you're in integrity, and what helps you course correct?

This episode of Spirit School is a little different. It is raw, unedited, and straight from my heart. After a summer of filming, I have been reflecting on the surprising ways my nervous system has healed and how being surrounded by a team of supportive, passionate creatives became medicine for my spirit.

I share:
• How clairsentience and nervous system sensitivity show up in mediumship
• The hidden costs of spiritual work on our energy and health
• Why holding space for others can tax us more than we realize
• The radical shift I felt from letting go of control and scaling back my business
• How being with a crew of artists, storytellers, and creatives repaired my nervous system in ways I never expected
• A powerful “before and after” moment that changed how I see love, support, and belonging

Whether you are a medium, healer, or simply someone navigating burnout, my hope is that these reflections give you both comfort and inspiration. Sometimes healing does not come from solitude. It comes from being seen, supported, and surrounded by others who bring out the best in us.

In this deeply personal episode of Spirit School, I share what it’s really like to walk through massive life change while staying spiritually grounded. This is the messy, tender, transformative part of the journey we don’t often talk about.

I reflect on the signs Spirit gives us before change arrives, the discomfort that often pushes us forward, and what it feels like to be in the void - the space between who we were and who we’re becoming. I also share stories I’ve never told before about stage fright, quitting my job, self-sabotage, and finally choosing courage over comfort.

This episode includes a soft update on a life-changing experience I’m currently navigating. I’ll be sharing more when the time is right, but for now, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone in your own season of transition.

If you’ve been struggling to stay centered while everything shifts, this one is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:• The early signs of change (and why we often resist them)
• What the void really is and how to move through it
• My personal relationship with fear, visibility, and self-sabotage
• The importance of spiritual tools that actually work when you’re overwhelmed
• Why it’s okay to take up space even when it feels unfamiliar
• A soft announcement about what’s unfolding this summer

Want to follow this journey in real time?Come join me inside the Spirit School Collective with our new limited-time Seasonal Pass.
You’ll receive exclusive weekly updates, behind-the-scenes reflections, group readings, and live teachings that support you during times of big spiritual and personal growth.

If this episode resonated with you, I’d love if you left a review or shared it with someone else walking through change. We grow stronger when we walk together.

In this episode of Spirit School, I’m answering a beautiful question from listener Jackie, who asked how I sustain my energy as a medium -especially as a working mom starting her own animal communication business.

I share the real behind-the-scenes of what it’s looked like to serve Spirit for 12+ years while raising a family, navigating burnout, recovering from an audit, and building a business rooted in ethics and capacity - not just hustle.

You’ll hear me reflect on:

The difference between what I can do and what I should do
My energetic boundaries and why I rarely book more than 4–6 readings a week
How I use my calendar as a psychic tool to know when I should and shouldn’t work
The role of compassion fatigue and spiritual integrity in my decisions
How I’ve diversified my work beyond readings to honour my own sustainability

If you’ve ever asked yourself “How much can I really hold?”—this one’s for you.

After a healing break following surgery, I'm back at the mic sharing a heartfelt Spirit Message inspired by a listener's question: How did you get started in your work as a medium? In this episode, I walk you through my earliest days of development, the unexpected (and terrifying) moment I said yes to doing paid readings, and the powerful lessons Spirit has shared with me along the way.

We explore what it means to answer the call of your own spirit—even when you're not sure you're ready. And we look at the quiet courage it takes to say “yes” to opportunities that stretch and grow us.

This is a real talk episode, recorded in the sunshine with my dog Luna nearby, and I’m sharing it raw and unedited—just like life. I hope it brings light to your path and reminds you that the next time inspiration whispers... you get to say yes.

In This Episode, I Share:

My journey from spiritual development to serving as a professional medium
The surprising moment I stepped into public service (for $20!)
How personal growth is deeply tied to spiritual connection
A humbling failure that taught me to teach through storytelling
Why we often fear being witnessed in our failures
A Spirit Message about saying yes to yourself and your callings

Welcome back to Spirit School! This week's spirit messages come at a powerful time, aligning with the energy of the Spring Equinox. These messages are timeless, so whenever you find this episode, trust that there is something here for you.

I open with a grounding practice to help you center yourself before receiving the messages. Spirit brings forward the energy of children laughing on a playground, inviting us to reconnect with the joy and lightness of being. There is a call to embrace childlike wonder, play, and wholeness, even in times of great change.

I also share about the power of storytelling as a way to honor our ancestors, preserve our history, and bring healing. Spirit reminds us that even if we don’t see ourselves as part of a great legacy, every story we share carries impact. I reflect on my personal connection to York Factory, my journey of learning Swampy Cree, and the importance of speaking names to keep them alive.

Spirit brings a message about looking up—literally and figuratively. When we feel burdened by life, we may stop noticing the signs all around us. This is a reminder to stand tall, raise our gaze, and reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world.

Take a deep breath, integrate what resonates, and release what does not. May your week ahead be filled with synchronicity, spiritual connection, and light.

I am joined by the remarkable Marianne Williamson, a renowned spiritual teacher and best-selling author with over four decades of experience. We delve deep into her latest book, The Mystic Jesus, exploring themes of compassion, healing, ancestral wisdom, and how her work helps us reconnect with the heart-mind connection.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Marianne’s perspectives on spirituality beyond religious institutions
The journey of experiencing spiritual practices without dogma
Decolonizing the image of Jesus for those with religious trauma
The impact of compassionate thinking in political and social systems
Connecting with ancestral wisdom and collective healing
Balancing intellectual knowledge with heart-centered awareness

Marianne’s compassion-centered teachings will resonate with all Spirit School listeners, particularly those navigating mediumship, intuitive development, and spiritual parenting. I’m honored to share this space with her, and I hope you find as much inspiration in her words as I have.

In this episode, I dive into the fascinating world of paradoxes—especially how they show up in life and mediumship. Drawing from my own experiences, I discuss the delicate balance of caring deeply while needing to detach, seeking validation while knowing it can block us, and other spiritual paradoxes that challenge our understanding. Tune in for a reflective and thought-provoking conversation about how these contradictions can lead us to deeper truths in our spiritual practice.

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada I sit down with Emily Brant, an Indigenous writer, speaker, and mentor who is on a mission to decolonize the personal development and coaching industries. Emily, a Turtle Clan member from the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, works with coaches, leaders, and healers to create more inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported. Through her work, Emily guides others to unlearn colonized ways of thinking and offers tools to help foster communities that value decolonization at their core.

In this episode, we dive into Emily’s journey, her experiences with assimilation, and the crucial moment when she realized that her Indigenous identity was key to her business growth and personal development. We also explore how Emily is helping others navigate these spaces, offering practical advice for decolonizing the coaching industry and addressing deep-rooted trauma.

If you’ve been curious about how colonization impacts the coaching world or want to learn more about Indigenous perspectives in business and healing, this episode offers profound insights into the ongoing journey of decolonization.

In this episode of Spirit School, I delve into the topic of perfectionism, a challenge I've encountered throughout my journey as an Indigenous spiritual medium.

As a Virgo, a sign known for its meticulous nature, I've always been negotiating with perfectionism, which has accompanied me since I began my spiritual and mediumship development in 2013.

I share how this perfectionist tendency first manifested when I set a goal of 150 practice readings before offering paid services, highlighting the pressure I felt to ensure I was ready. Through astrology and personality assessments, I've gained insights and permission slips that have helped me embrace my Virgo nature while continuing to strive for growth and healing. I also recount the transformation of my online blog into the Spirit School podcast in 2018, a journey that involved overcoming the paralyzing grip of perfectionism.

A health crisis prompted me to take bold steps forward, leading to the creation of a podcast that has since blossomed into an online school and book. In exploring how perfectionism often masks underlying fears, I share techniques I've developed to push through, such as launching projects before they're "perfect" and learning through experience.

By looking through the lens of love and compassion, I offer a path to overcoming fear and perfectionism, encouraging others in the spiritual space to lead by example, embrace imperfection, and evolve with the freedom and accountability that 2024 brings.

"Having a non-spiritual Life Partner deepened my connection to my Inner Spiritual World"

This is what I wrote on my recent Reel that landed with so many of you!

So many questions were asked about how I manage life being married to a non-spiritual, non-believer of all things spiritual!

You asked, and I answered, almost 2 hours of sharing the dynamics, the growth, the coping, the lessons, the gratitude I have for my husband holding so much love for me while I went on my own Spiritual Quest, grounding us in constant reality while I chased the stars in my quest for a mystical life. Loving me and sticking by me throughout.

If you love the pod, you'll love the Collective. Have deep enriching conversations and experiences with other humans on a spiritual quest! It's more than development, it's more than community, it's a space to be seen and witness others on the spiritual journey.

This 30 minute vision casting session will support you in integration and seeing the highest potential of what may unfold in the seasons ahead. I am looking forward to spending 2024 with you on the podcast sharing more about my life as a Medium, Mediumship and Spiritual Development, as well as Spiritual Entrepreneurship.

A conversation on Psychedelic Healing with Daniel (they/he/she) @manosdelmaya on IG! https://www.instagram.com/manosdelmaya/

Daniel, thank you for bringing your wisdom to this conversation! You're the only human I could consider having this discussion with publicly!

The Context:

Psychedelic Healing Converstation Preamble In preparation for tomorrow's conversation, I wanted to share some of the resources I studied in 2020 + 2021 around using psychedelic healing in an effort tp manage and potentially treat my PMDD.

Tomorrow instead of providing this research live, I want to use our time to share about my experiences, and bring a true subject matter expert on the topic 🌻✨ Daniel, Mayan Mystic 🛸 (he/she)

I did over a year of studying on the topic, consulting with my physician and therapist in preparation for my own experiences in late 2021 and again in early 2022. I wanted to 'dump' here some of the insights that interested me in my research.

My biggest concern was the potential negative affect a Psychedelic would have on my ability to connect with the Spirit World, I have never wanted to risk my connection with Spirit, so I was very comforted to find the research of Psychic Medium Eileen Garret (best known for her book 'Awareness')

Some resources:

Eileen Garrett's Work on Psychic Exploration:

Eileen Garrett's organization stands as a cornerstone in parapsychology and spiritual exploration, focusing on the intersection between altered states of consciousness, psychic phenomena, and the impact of substances like LSD on enhancing psychic experiences The Parapsychology Foundation: This organization preserves and shares information related to parapsychology, including Eileen Garrett's work and research. Parapsychology Foundation
https://parapsychology.org/the-many-minds-of-eileen-garrett/
https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/eileen-j-garrett
https://chacruna.net/eileen-garrett-and-psychedelic-experience/
You can use duckduckgo to find more articles, I found google to bury articles like this

I discovered about Psilocybin and healing through my death doula continuing studies + research that John Hopkins University was testing high-dose Psilocybin on patients with death-anxiety in terminal illness, the results were incredible, and that really sparked my initial interest in the topic, a bit more resources and about John Hopkins Psychedelic Research: Johns Hopkins Research Center is a pioneering institution renowned for its groundbreaking studies exploring the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, in treating various mental health conditions.

https://hopkinspsychedelic.org/index/#research Honestly this site will keep you busy for a long time!

Johns Hopkins University Research Data Revealed:

Smoking Cessation Success Rate: One of the most notable findings is the high success rate in smoking cessation post-psilocybin therapy. Research indicated an astonishing 85% success rate in helping individuals quit smoking, far surpassing traditional methods. As someone who abused colonized tobacco for 17 years, I wish I knew this in 2002!
Reduction in Anxiety and Depression Scores: Psilocybin therapy demonstrated substantial reductions in anxiety and depression scores among participants. These improvements were observed in both immediate and long-term assessments following the therapy sessions.
Long-Term Positive Effects: Data showcased enduring positive effects, indicating sustained improvements in emotional well-being and increased quality of life among participants even after the therapy sessions had concluded.
End-of-Life Distress Alleviation: The studies revealed the profound impact of psilocybin therapy on end-of-life distress in terminally ill patients. Participants experienced a significant reduction in anxiety and increased feelings of peace and acceptance, easing their distress about death.
Safety Profile: The data reinforced the safety profile of psilocybin therapy when administered in controlled, clinical settings with trained professionals. Minimal adverse effects were reported, emphasizing the therapy's safety under supervised conditions.

Other Resources I consumed in the 2 years leading up to my first healing experience was - there were so may more! Just these I'd highlight as impactful in my consideration:

https://www.womaninthebasement.com/pmddblog-1/microdosing-for-pmdd - Site/Blog + Book!
https://microdosinginstitute.com/microdosing-101/substances/lions-mane-stacking/ The Microdosing regime I did a full year before my Healing Dose experience

Thanks for being open Friends!

I wanted to share these resources so we can focus our time tomorrow sharing experiences, and highlighting 🌻✨ Daniel, Mayan Mystic 🛸 (he/she) expertise, experience and knowledge in this field and be a resource to you!

Disclaimer: While I don't advocate this healing method for everyone, or anyone specifically, I aim to share resources, highlight key findings, and draw from my own experiences to serve as a resource and address questions. Perhaps it's the Scorpio rising in me on the final day of Scorpio Season, but initiating discussions about taboo topics is something I find intriguing and engaging. My goal is to open a dialogue and provide insight into these less-talked-about areas.

Here are your inspired messages for December friends!

I am thrilled to have UK Medium (and my favourite mentor) Dominic Boag back on Spirit School to talk about his new book, The Voice of Spirit: The Boy Next Door with an Incredible Gift. Dominic and I began this episode by reflecting on our experience in person at Spirit School and the magic of being connected by Spirit. Dominic also had an in-person spiritual center for people to gather and learn different modalities in a supportive space. His career now is focused on travelling for demonstrations and teaching, but it was an incredible experience!

In this episode, Dominic Boag shares some insights from his book, the Voice of Spirit and his journey as a medium. He talks about the fact that we all have all of the clairs, and that we need to be open to developing the ones spirit works through for us. Dominic shares his highlights from the year from his travels, and what to consider when choosing a mentor or medium. He encourages mediums to create space for spirit without judging what comes through you from spirit. This was a very insightful conversation full of wisdom from Dominic's 17 year career.

Dominic will be coming for another in-person retreat at Spirit School again in May! In the meantime, we will be doing another online mediumship workshop:

Online Mediumship Development Workshop

Join Dominic and I for our Online Mediumship Development Workshop on December 2! This online Spirit School workshop will be focused on expanding in the realm of your private readings!

The November Spirit Messages are here, this one is for those working towards leadership in their work and life. A really positive month ahead, as always there will be work, and bumps, but overall a huge leap forward for those looking to expand through healing, and working towards being a good ancestor for the ones to come in your lines. I'm excited for the energies ahead, maybe something big did shift in this most recent eclipse? I'll leave that to the astrologers! thanks friends for listening, and leave a review if you love it!

One of the most political topics in the Mediumship Space! I've had many teachers I respect and trust say they absolutely do, and I've had many teachers I admire and value their opinions who say they don't, it just doesn't 'make sense' that they would.

Over the years of podcasting I have had different views at this at different seasons of my spiritual maturity path, and it's a topic I'll continue to revisit over my spiritual path, as Ghosts and the Paranormal seem to be a gateway to spirituality for so many of my newer spirit schoolers!

Thank you to the Spirit Schooler's who generously contributed to the topic.

The Spirit School Collective - A Space for the Developing Lightworker

Is compassion less common place now than decades before us? Is the internet making us less compassionate? Lightworkers are the Keepers of Compassion and there are compassionate ways to deliver even the most sensitive of details in our private and group sittings. Here are some thoughts I have had as I prepare my monthly workhsop Compassionate Lightworker Language for the Spirit School Collective

Spirit School Online Classes and Workshops

Welcome back to Spirit School! In this episode, we explore the theme for October 2023: "Make It Sacred." Amid the hustle and bustle of life, the spirit world reminds us that we can infuse every moment with sacredness, even in the simplest acts. Through heartfelt rituals, like a morning coffee or washing dishes, we can slow down, connect with our hearts, and experience profound love and clarity. The spirits encourage us not to lose hope and assure us that help is on its way, emphasizing the importance of our conscious journey and our mission to bring light and knowledge to the world. So, as we embrace October, let's make every moment sacred, find hope within ourselves, and cherish the journey we're on. Thank you for joining us on this enlightening episode of Spirit School.

In this episode, I explore the themes of flourishing and following curiosities as we enter the month of July. The word "flourish" has a powerful vibration and carries a deep healing energy. We discuss the importance of vulnerability and opening ourselves up to fully embrace this path. Additionally, we delve into the significance of following our curiosities and discerning between those led by our soul and those driven by external influences.

In this episode:

Flourishing as intentional energy: July emphasizes personal growth and expansion.
Embracing vulnerability: Celebrate the courage to open up to the world.
Balancing positive and negative growth: Embrace vulnerability while developing resilience, and we will be less affected by negative experiences
Power of language and vibration: Words we choose carry energetic frequencies.
Cultivating internal flourishing: True flourishing is an internal process of nurturing inner growth and aligning with purpose.
Following the path of curiosity: Curiosities are often signs from our souls. We discern if they align with our true calling.
Practicing delayed gratification: Assess the source of our curiosity and determine alignment with soul or societal influences.
Embracing the spiritual path unfolding: Spiritual journey requires patience and trust. Things may take time to manifest.
Understanding the collective nature of our path: Our growth benefits the collective awakening.
Seeing from the highest perspective: Shift perspective to a broader view to gain understanding and appreciation for our journey.

July is a month to trust our soul's guidance and open ourselves up to the beauty and challenges that come with growth by practicing.

In this episode, I welcome back my personal mentor and renowned medium, Dominic Boag, for an insightful conversation about his experiences travelling and conducting demonstrations around the world. We discuss various aspects of mediumship, from the thrill of live demonstrations to the profound impact of private readings. Dominic and I also delve into the intricacies of mediumship and the importance of striking a balance between providing evidence and delivering meaningful messages. We discuss the role of the medium in healing the client, and Dominic emphasizes the significance of connecting with Spirit on a deeper level and allowing them to have a voice rather than solely focusing on facts. We also touch upon the upcoming workshop on Evidential Mediumship Simplified at Spirit School in Squamish, British Columbia, where we will be sharing our techniques and helping participants nurture their advancing mediumship abilities.

In this episode:

Everyone's unique: Dominic highlights the individuality of each medium and the need to embrace and develop one's own style.
Striving for realism: Dominic and Danielle stress the importance of being realistic and considering the quality of the information provided during mediumship readings.
Evaluating the information: Dominic discusses the different types of information mediums encounter, including generic, emotional, and practical details, and encourages assessing their significance.
Who are you working for?: The hosts explore the purpose of mediumship and the importance of understanding if the medium is trying to please themselves or genuinely help the client and Spirit.
Letting go of ego: Dominic shares his experience of putting his ego aside and focusing on the essence of mediumship, which is not a treasure hunt for facts but an opportunity to let Spirit have a voice.
What is enough?: The hosts invite mediums to reflect on what would be enough for them in a reading and how to not treat it as a fact-finding mission but rather a chance to touch the client's soul.
The conversation matters: Dominic emphasizes the value of engaging in a meaningful conversation with Spirit, rather than bombarding the client with endless facts.
Evidential mediumship simplified: Dominic introduces his approach to evidential mediumship.
The power of simplicity: Dominic shares his techniques for simplifying mediumship, using foundations and processes to enhance the medium's connection with Spirit.
Demonstrations: Dominic discusses the fulfillment and joy of connecting with a larger audience in demonstrations and how they can allow for a healing experience among all audience members.

Whether you're new to mediumship or a seasoned practitioner, this conversation will inspire and enlighten you on your development journey. The upcoming workshop on Evidential Mediumship Simplified at Spirit School is an opportunity for participants to go deeper with some of the valuable techniques discussed here.

This week’s episode is inspired by a conversation I had with my friend’s father, an avid listener and successful entrepreneur, in which he shared some of his wisdom with me. I went live to talk about the struggles that come with expansion on Instagram and my audience asked me to do a podcast episode on this topic. I’ve received so many comments about how much the live resonated with people, so I hope this episode helps you realize that you aren’t alone. It’s okay to struggle and feel pressure when things are going well.

I receive criticism when I talk about the shadow side of this work because it can be interpreted as complaining when I am in a place of privilege. However, part of using this podcast to share authentically means sharing the full spectrum and reality of the experience. Typically, I talk about difficult periods when I’ve completed them but I am offering this episode while I’m in the process. My hope is that you are able to feel seen, and know that I’m not looking for solutions. I know that the expansion on the other side of this struggle will be just as magical as it always is!

Though I am experiencing growing pains, I love the world of spirit, my work, and my students so much it brings me to tears. I’ve invited you to hold a vision with me, and for me, of being so supported in my work that I can just show up and teach while also feeling worthy enough of being the main character. I feel you rooting for my success and I thank you for your support.

Eduek Brooks is the founder of Two Sides of a Dime, which is a financial literacy platform focusing on making personal finance easy to digest and seamless to implement. I met Eduek in the Trauma of Money program and hired her to help me with my own personal finance journey. I love the way she combines practical advice and tools with the psychology behind money habits. Eduek has had an incredible impact on my relationship with money and I am so excited to introduce her to you today!

In this conversation, we talk about the ways that our financial systems here in North America are designed to encourage and incentivize us to acquire more debt. Eduek shares her own journey with debt and some of the ways she was able to pay off $47,000 in 20 months! She also gives some insights into patterns that may stem from childhood, and how awareness is the key to intentional spending. Follow her on Instagram @twosidesofadime to learn more about the resources she has to offer.

In this episode:

Eduek’s journey began with paying off $47000 of personal debt as an immigrant to Canada
It was difficult to find consistent information about credit that applied to Canadian finances
Eduek is passionate about making this information easy to understand and implement
Her financial philosophy is to balance security with enjoying your life
She always wanted to be a teacher but knew it didn’t pay well so she chose engineering
Teaching is one of Eduek’s strongest gifts and people have always asked her for help
Clients say that their financial advisors haven’t broken things down as well as her
Eduek leveraged her engineering background and love for teaching and financial literacy
In Nigeria, the culture was that people worked to build their homes and it took time to save cash
Coming here, the culture of incurring debt instantly for cars and houses was surprising
All of her personal debt came from being here in Canada
Other countries don’t use credit as much and loans are based on income
The finance industry is the strongest industry in Canada and we’re incentivized to borrow
Credit cards give a false sense of security and small purchases over budget add up
We get used to using our credit card as part of our income
The system makes it so easy for you to have access to money, and live above your means
You make irrational decisions with money when you’re stressed out about debt
We cannot fathom not getting the things we want because of instant gratification
Stores make money off of their credit cards and financing
Growing up, Eduek had what was needed and what there was money for
People want more than they grew up with, but before they can afford it
We either mirror what our parents did or do the opposite
After not being able to use cash in the pandemic, we started using credit cards again
Customers also now pay for credit card processing fees instead of the store
We don’t question what we’re charged or check our receipts for discrepancies
We’re taught to get careers that pay well but aren’t taught how to manage finances
Eduek had $47000 of consumer debt and had to look at the root cause
She had the knowledge of what to do, but wasn’t implementing them
If you don’t address the psychological relationship, you’ll go in debt again
Knowing your spending triggers, like stress, can help you from jeopardizing budgets
Eduek would buy things for her home, and then return them out of guilt
Having a self care budget prepares you for times of stress
Debt is emotional so focusing on the debt that causes the most pain is a priority
Eduek didn’t use a credit card for two years to show that you don’t need it
She also stopped buying clothing and shoes for that time period
The accountability of sharing on Instagram helped for motivation
By reallocating money, I’ve been able to save for an emergency fund and pay off debt
The most important thing is to be intentional with your spending and track it
Having a budget makes you aware of what you are sacrificing for if something comes up
Ask yourself why you want to become more financially stable or have freedom?
Making informed decisions takes the guilt out of spending your money
The first step is to sit down and document what is coming in and going out monthly

This week’s episode is more focused on mediumship because that’s where my mind has been with The Initiation starting on May 19th for the ninth round. A lot of people think that there needs to be like a signier sign, or there needs to be a certain prerequisite to be able to go into mediumship development. And I've been saying this for years, the only prerequisite to mediumship is a life well lived. The more you live your life, the more you get to be of service to the world of spirit. You will be able to help such a diverse set of people who are going through experiences like you have walked. So I don't think that mediumship development is only accessible to the chosen few.There are so many personal development and personal growth reasons why mediumship development is for everyone. I haven’t talked about these reasons in this context before, so I am going to share the ways that mediumship development benefits you outside of the actual skills that you learn to communicate with loved ones in Spirit in readings.

In this episode:

Reiki, hair, and massage seem to be a pathway to mediumship
Mediumship often is a pathway for people to find a deeper sense of their own purpose
People go on to other modalities when they discover new parts of themselves in development
Discovering one of the most natural connections we have, to the spirit world
We other ourselves and tell ourselves it is only accessible to a select few people
Connecting to spirit allows you to know yourself like never before
We focus so much on others that we don’t think about our own needs
The only way to discern spirit around you is to know yourself and your energy
You start to love yourself when you understand that you’re a spirit
This self realization benefits you in all areas of life including relationships and careers
The mediumship development journey is a personal healing journey
Being able to transform energy into healing information for others requires healing
I had to heal my stage fright and wounds around worthiness to receive from spirit
We have to reconcile our past to get onto a path of self-acceptance and confidence
I never considered myself unworthy of relationships or anything before the mediumship path
Thinking I wasn’t pure enough to talk to the divine was an aha moment for me
Each of us has different resistances, anxieties and fears to walk through
Perfectionism or not having language to communicate the insights you receive may come up
There are people who don’t want to heal, but it’s unavoidable on the development path
You get to experience pockets of peace and divine love
I don’t believe meditation is the only way, but it does require slowing down to sense and listen
You never have the same type of exchange with other beings when you learn to listen intently
In the process of slowing down to sense spirit, you experience peace and divine love
We had a seance with Winter Brooke in the Collective for 90 minutes
The 90 minutes we spent sitting with spirit was replenishing for my own spirit
Whether you sit for 10 minutes a day or week, it will benefit you in all areas of life
Once you connect with the world of spirit, you start to see the magic of life all around you
You start to see the interconnectedness of it all through synchronicity and experiences
It starts with clocks and signs and builds to receiving messages without words in the heart
We wait for words and often they speak through nature and the world around us
You start to live authentically and on purpose instead of people pleasing
Mediumship development teaches you about your energy, boundaries and capacity
This path gave me a new sense of authentic living that feels freeing instead of looking cool
I believe living on purpose means finding joy in the human experience
Everyone I know who enters the mediumship space leaves with their own sense of purpose
Our purpose can be outside of work and earning money despite how society operates
I want to give a shout out to my bestie’s dad Bart in Malibu for being such a big fan
Developing new interpersonal and communication skills for personal and professional growth
Some people are more interested in fame that won’t receive the benefits of personal growth
The world of spirit will put you to work whether it is in readings or everyday life
I wouldn’t have been able to trust and go full-time in mediumship without doing healing
By declaring you work for spirit, you get to become an ally for the spirit world and humanity
To heal my people pleasing, I declared that I work for spirit instead of focusing on the sitter
I now am centered and am ready to work for both realms, humanity and spirit
I care about people and humanity, but not at the expense of my own energy and boundaries
I fell back in love with humanity at the Sacred Spirit Retreat
Because of this, and mediumship development, I see the good in the world despite the bad
These are just a few of the perks of development that have nothing to do with readings
The Initiation has helped hundreds of people find their path, community and spiritual connection

When I brought up free spiritual labour as a potential podcast topic with Andrea (@concreteandcrystals) a year ago, she was excited! It is something that comes up a lot in the spiritual space, especially online, but it isn’t really talked about. This could be a little bit of a hot topic, and I'm not meaning to bring up any shame in anyone, or have anyone feel anything other than informed, but it is something I've wanted to talk about for a while. As an online business owner expanding to in person offerings, I have my energy pulled in many directions and go through cycles with my response to it. There are times when I am energized and overflowing with engagement. I love connecting with all of you! I also have periods, often when I haven’t extended the same care to myself, when I am unable to meet the demand. There will always be a need for marketing and sharing socially with an online business, but boundaries are required if you have multiple points of contact with your audience and clients. Reciprocity is a core value for me and I believe it should be at the center of our online interactions. We also need to return to the law of reciprocity with Mother Earth to create a sustainable relationship.

In this episode:

My free and paid resources are equally as impactful and have the same standards
Many of us who lean into service are doing it from a place of what we hope to receive
As an Indigenous woman, I don’t tolerate any racism toward Indigenous people online
I worked in and was passionate about First Nations healthcare
I realized how much emotional, spiritual and physical labor was involved in checking racism
In 2023, the audience shouldn’t have to check the comments for publications
On TikTok, there are people from all different backgrounds sharing wisdom
I am grateful for the social justice warriors creating digestible content for people to learn
I could see how much labor goes into educating others on what it’s like to be a person of colour
TikTok had stories of BIPOC people expected to educate their workplace on racism
We all have the resources to educate ourselves at our fingertips
My thoughts on free labour started in the social justice space
Inclusion such as in an interview process is often to tick a box for the bare minimum
I’m going to use my Spirit School space and Instagram as my examples of online spaces
Instagram started asking a lot of labour of creators to keep up with trends like Reels
Unlike Instagram, TikTok has a creator fund to reward the work people put into their content
I hired three creators who were critical of the spiritual space to audit my classes and business
I want to ensure my body of work is not causing harm or feeling like a cult in any way
As a busy mom, I made a conscious decision that I did not have time for Reels
For the past 4 years, I’ve had 4-7 fake imposter accounts at a time pretending to be me
They mirror my account and scam people by having them pay for alleged readings
It takes a lot of free labour to report them and respond to the hundreds of DMs about them
The messages letting us know are well-intended but the notifications are overwhelming
I have to complete a form and upload a photo of myself with my ID for Meta to report them
Instagram never takes them down, and I was paying $180/month in admin fees
I just stopped doing the labour and scaled back my presence on Instagram
People have crossed my boundaries expecting me to act as Google for them in DMs
Chris Corsini on Instagram does free readings for every sign with ASL for accessibility
He is an example of subtly reminding people to support him in exchange for free labour
You can also support by engaging with free content and helping to answer questions
There will be more free content coming to Spirit School as the team expands
Asking questions publicly instead of privately allows more people to see the response
Some teachers and creators have a “buy me a coffee” sign for donations
If you DM someone, thank them for their time and energy if they respond
I thank people who send genuine messages for their time and energy
Responding to people’s posts as a community member is free labour, and has an impact
Consider how we can be more reciprocal in the spaces we occupy
Your energy and sharing experiences is the currency I value over money
I may be the guiding force, but the people in Spirit School create the culture
We are in a phase of our humanity where it's every person for themselves
Indigenous ways of living revolve around the laws of reciprocity with Mother Earth
Maybe we can learn more and collectively tend to Mother Earth

I'm so excited to have Sheila V back on the Spirit School podcast! This is her third time as a guest and we both have expanded a lot since our last conversation. We originally met when we were both contributors to a blog and felt a soul connection. I always feel the presence of spirit when I am in Sheila’s energy and her episodes have been popular with Spirit School listeners too!

In this conversation, Sheila talks about her book, Brave, and how you can start being more brave in your everyday life. We both share the philosophy that you can apply your spiritual gifts in your existing career and start opening up to ways you can serve. Being brave also helps you build your spiritual self esteem and learn to trust in your abilities. Sheila also shares about her experience manifesting her husband and their IVF journey. In addition to speaking on stages, her dream of having a platform was also realized in a way she couldn’t have predicted when she was approached by a TV network about documenting her fertility journey. When we surrender, our manifestations will come in divine timing!

Join us both for the Bravely Spiritual 2-Day Accelerator at Spirit School in beautiful Squamish, BC! This 2-Day retreat will expand you spiritually and increase your confidence when connecting with spirit. Development and transformation are amplified in these settings!

In this episode:

Sheila’s powerful energy comes from being brave and building spiritual self esteem
She quit her job to write her book because she believed in it and it sold well
Sheila attributes her personal power to the amount of trauma healing she’s done
Connecting to spirit can happen because of dissociation and trauma
Psilocybin and other Indigenous medicines have also given her personal power
There is a lot of research around psilocybin and mediumship
Sheila’s book, Brave, has led to global keynote speaking opportunities
She didn’t realize that the book would help so many people on their spiritual path
When you awaken to authenticity and your gifts, life may not make sense anymore
People in the corporate world were open to this message of reconciling the two lives
Sheila suggests that you do both spiritual and corporate work first and enjoy it
Meet new spiritual people that are more aligned as you transition
Having a mentor and being part of a community can help you feel less alone
I used to ask spirit to put me to work while I was still in corporate
You may go part time before eventually quitting to do spiritual work
Natural conflict between departments may drain your energy if you’re sensitive
Sheila suggests leaning into the socialization at work instead of isolating
I feel like being brave doesn’t get easier, but that we choose to do things anyways
Sheila says we become more resilient and it doesn’t get easier because we do bigger things
She leans into, “what is the new version of me that's trying to be reborn?”
Bringing in guides, resting more, and self care make you more masterful in bravery
Spirit rewards you for trusting, and the rewards make you braver
Sheila hit a low point when a relationship ended at the same time her book came out
She learned about the laws of manifesting to call in a conscious man
She met him, moved in with him and began IVF together within a few months
Their journey was followed by an Australian TV show called Big Miracles
Going through IVF with a production crew required a lot of vulnerability
Sheila believes that part of her purpose is showing the messy parts of the process
Her partner Tyson has opened her up to nature as a form of spirituality
We need teachers to show more vulnerable and dynamic sides of themselves
Sheila and Tyson’s donor egg journey will also be featured on Season 2
Hearing stories from people who share with her are inspiring
Manifestations may come in unexpected ways, and in divine timing
Using yourself as a channel for spirit is when miracles happen
Holding onto the old has made depression and anxiety worse
I’ve been manifesting sunshine instead of the original rainy forecast for the retreat
Visualizing, feeling, repetition, music and journaling can help to manifest
Sheila is coming to teach a two-day workshop with me at Spirit School
Learn how to become bravely spiritual on your path and build up your spiritual self-esteem
Strengthen your connection to your spirit guides, to your ancestors
Master the art of channeling and learn the basic 12 laws of manifesting.
Development and transformation is amplified in 2-day retreats with everyone together

I polled my Instagram audience to choose the topic for this episode and the choices were either energy, or my trip to Chillingham Castle. Obviously, Chillingham Castle won! I decided to begin with the audio from a TikTok by @historyhit that gives some historical context before I share my experience. I spent years as a documenter for a paranormal investigators group in Vancouver, so visiting the castle was on my bucket list! In addition to the eerie encounters, I also talked about my evolving beliefs around ghosts and earthbound spirits. As I’ve said on the podcast before, it’s important to remain flexible in our beliefs so that we can meet new experiences with curiosity. Grasping firmly to beliefs can also invalidate the lived experiences of others, and I think there is divinity in having differing perspectives. I would love to hear your experiences with haunted places over in the free Spirit School community!

History of Chillingham Castle (@historyhit):

Chillingham Castle was a monastery in the 12th Century
Edward the first, the hammer of the Scots, led his Scottish campaigns from this location
The first recorded accounts of the ghosts were penned by Lady Leonora Tankerville
There was an increase in occult spiritualism during Edwardian and Victorian times
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle commended Lady Tankerville on her reports of the Chillingham ghosts
The current owner is from the original Gray family owners and has overseen renovations
Guests still report seeing flashes of blue similar to ghosts sightings of the past
A priest who traveled to get rid of ghosts said there were too many there

My Experience of Chillingham Castle:

I went when I was 19 years old in 2002, right out of high school and obsessed with Most Haunted
Putting this show together was fun because it brought up so much nostalgia
Paranormal things and ghosts tend to be our entry into the spiritual space
At that time, I was immersed in books and TV shows with Sylvia Brown and John Edwards
I joined a paranormal investigation group when the first Most Haunted episode came out
I was so excited at that time and didn’t know that I was a medium yet
I validated what the mediums got and went through photos and audio recordings of our outings
I caught some EVPs from those recordings and overnight ones from my bedside
My ex husband was from England and we traveled once a year
We stayed in the tower at Chillingham Castle in the off season and I was so excited
My memories of this time are piecemeal because it was not a healthy relationship
Scotland has my heart and I still want to visit there again
I couldn’t believe how much I missed the mountains when traveling
My ex-husband and I were the only people there other than the caretaker
We stayed in the tower, which was used for Scottish prisoners of war
I was in awe of how much history was there compared to somewhere like Vancouver
Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night was terrifying in the castle
The strangest thing that happened was not being able to see the castle on the only road
The keeper gave us a midnight tour of the torture chamber that scared me
One paranormal thing that happened was light coming in and a loud popping noise that woke me
I have heard a voice yelling my name in my ear a couple of times
A friend’s mom came to me and I saw the Almost Famous poster and her name was Penny
My friend wasn’t initially receptive and that is part of why I don’t do drive-by readings
I am still unsure of my belief in earthbound spirits or if they have passed on and choose to visit
Part of the reason I am undecided is that some teachers I respect believe in them
We never caught anything definitive in my paranormal investigation years
Beautiful music or framing it as an angel experience could change your perspective
Our beliefs are our choices and we have free will
The more spiritually aware we become, the more we realize we don’t know
Because of Mavis’ beliefs, I firmly believed earthbound spirits didn’t exist a couple years ago
I think there are reasons for mysteries, including the opportunity to expand our beliefs
Some Spirit School Collective members share their experiences with haunted places
Being stuck on specific beliefs limits our potential for spiritual growth and expansion
I saw a full apparition of a little boy by my husband’s side of the bed when I was pregnant
I lost that pregnancy and learned through a medium that it was my child that I saw
Before my trauma informed training I would negate people’s lived experiences
I like to straddle both sides of the conversation without imposing my beliefs
Each of us having our own truth does not make it the capital T truth
I believe there is a divine reason for us to be divided in spiritual beliefs

I am so excited to be here with your April Spirit messages. I have not felt this energy for a long time. The world of Spirit came through so strong with the message, 'Don't forget you came here to live. You came here to live an expansive life. You came here to live a life that is not meant to be easy. That is not meant to be smooth all the time. Do not forget you came here to live. We did not come here to merely survive.’There's an opportunity coming into April to tap into this life force that is all around us. In the recording, you will hear that I feel absolutely giddy, and I hope you will feel the contagiousness of Spirit's presence. I could not get to the microphone quick enough to record these messages because it was just coming in so strong, this energy that Spirit wants people to feel.The invitation at the end of this episode is quite new. I'm inviting you to dance with me. If you know me, you know I do not dance!Note: Due to the sound quality in the recording, you can click on one of the links for your personal dance party.Song: My Love is Your Love by Whitney HoustonSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1ckU1EhAO0Nr73QYw24SWJ?si=2626afa66c2f4a4dApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/my-love-is-your-love/251090652?i=251090745Spirit School LinksThe Initiation Summer 2023 Waitlist: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/63d3191cde520bd60dc33d63

In this episode:

We did not come here to chase the next thing constantly.
It is up to us to continue to expand on this path and to continue to expand through the hurdles and road bumps that come our way.
We are signifying the re-emergence of Mother Earth in the northern hemisphere.
A big word that Spirit is giving me revitalization.
Tap into that life force and allow it to grow inside of you.
An activation of life force continues to move through us.
Remember that only the most courageous have chosen to come forward during this time.
Set out a new course for a new way of being on this planet, a new way of being in community with one another.
We need to get uncomfortable before we can tap into a higher vision of newness.
We can pave a path forward that is more aligned with what we want to see for ourselves, our families and the collective.
The world of Spirit is letting us know that a new awareness is coming.
It takes courage to pave a path that has yet to be walked.
The guides are very close for April.
We enter a new year for the astrological calendar of April.
We haven't been alone on this journey; our next steps will not be misguided.
If we are stuck in a cycle of old ways of being with ourselves and each other, we must choose new thoughts.
We have to feel worthy of this life force and revitalization to move it through us.
I am here to remind you that you were born worthy, and nothing has changed.
The month of April is asking you to assess your wheel of life.
Where does your desire for change want to guide you?
We all are amplifiers of energy, and we get to choose what kind of energy radiates through us.
There has been a lot of deep spiritual work in the winter months, and the world of Spirit applauds you for meeting your shadow.
You are free to move on to a lighter path and trust that the lingering energetics of everything you worked on through the winter will be completed as you move forward.
We have to stop thinking about things as being so linear.
There is a lot of focus on love relationships coming up into spring; we're willing to be more vulnerable and more ourselves around each other.
We cannot hide our deepest sense of self anymore.
If we have not done the work to allow our most vulnerable sides to come through, we will enter this season feeling very naked.
We are going to be finding much deeper relationships in our lives.

For today’s episode, I am sharing a Q+A session from the most recent cohort of The Initiation so that you can get a taste of the types of topics we cover! I will be running this signature program at least one more time, and the waitlist is available below. In addition to the foundations for your first 3 years of mediumship development, I also tailor the classes and Q+A sessions to the needs of the students in the cohort, making each round of the experience unique!

Before the episode, I shared a few Spirit School updates before I take my first break in 2023! There has been so much happening between the membership, running programs, planning the retreat, and building my physical school on the Squamish waterfront. I may be experiencing decision fatigue from the renovation, but there have been so many magical moments on this journey. I already have Sheila V, Dominic Bogue and Julie Poole scheduled to teach in the Spirit School space this year! I’ve also had money and connections appear effortlessly to provide solutions as I needed them. I’ve felt that my late mentor Mavis Pittilla has had a hand in making the Spirit School journey so magical!

Questions & Topics:

Some of my readings are intuitive, and some mediumship, and some both. I've had a lot of people ask how often they can book a session. I just said they could whenever they feel called to do so. But I'm not really sure if there's a rule of thumb for this. What do you suggest, Danielle?
Avoiding codependency and taking opportunities to mentor clients in their own gifts
Do you allow your sitters to record your readings? I know some mediums are very adamant about no recording, but this seems to be a popular request. What are the major concerns with this?
Accepting cringe moments and shadows, and challenging “standards” in mediumship
When did you really know that mediumship was for you, that this was something you wanted to do as a profession? Did you feel it like a calling or was it more like a slow burn?
Could you talk a little bit about knowing when you're ready to serve the public? I'm finding that I'm always thinking I'm just not good enough and I am kind of wondering if I'll get to the point where I do feel good enough.
I've heard many people say it's easier to read for those who actually have a need, but then I get worried that I won't meet their need. Any insight to this?
I find myself asking clarifying questions during my readings to ensure I'm interpreting and discerning information from the spirit accurately. Any tips on how to get away from doing this?
I find I do best when my sitter is more involved in the reading. For instance, when they ask questions, I receive the answers quickly. When we don't have a specific question or intention, I find the reading still works, but it's not as powerful. Any thoughts on this?
Can you speak about when we have a hard time connecting to a sitter and what that might indicate, and maybe how to maintain a connection when you feel you're not connecting fluidly?
As a reader, how do you manage more than one spirit coming through in a reading? I often feel overwhelmed.
Have you ever used a feedback form for your sitters while you're still practicing prior to professional?
The importance of reciprocity

This is a quick spontaneous episode, and if you get something out of it, share it and tag me on IG, I will happily record more like this as it's not uncommon to get channelled inspirations.

Come join us in Spirit School and let me know what the message means for you!

I'm so excited to introduce you to Jenni Conn today! I was on her podcast last year and I wanted to have her on Spirit School for quite a few reasons. Jenni is a psychic medium, a spiritual mentor, and the host of The Medium Experience podcast. She's a lover of champagne and all the beauty that this world has to offer.

Jenni has been a student of mine for a while,and has done some incredible development over the past few years including going to the UK. I admire her confidence, how she shows up in the world, and I just think that she is a fantastic human being. Jenni is giving and generous in all the different spaces she occupies, and I thought Spirit School listeners would resonate with her. Our inner world experience is different from how other people experience us and Jenni shares how astrology can help us to understand the nuances of that.

Jenni loves psychology and uses her mediumship abilities strongly with the connection to inner child and the heart chakra. In this episode, she shares how her personal challenges have influenced how she is able to help her clients through their own inner child and emotional healing processes. She also hosts retreats where people are invited to do this deep work in a luxurious environment that reflects her champagne taste.

In this episode:

Jenni uses her mediumship abilities with the connection to inner child and the heart chakra
As a Cancer sun, she wants to soothe the inner child wound in others when it comes up
Jenni recognized that she needed to take radical responsibility for her inner child healing
Her psychic and mediumship gifts opened up when she started doing this work
I had a powerful experience sitting with my inner child to heal my stage fright wound
Jenni believes that our astrological sun sign is our highest self we evolve into
Our rising sign is our egoic behaviour and our moon is our inner child
Knowing the needs of each voice helps you manage your life easier
Though she didn’t have an awareness of it, Jenni had psychic abilities at a young age
She has an inner knowing when people lie, partly from past trauma
Her psychic abilities kicked off when she was a hairstylist and was touching people
Jenni learned that her intuition had been correct when she learned on infidelities in her marriage
She learned to trust herself and her body through clairsentience
Both of us have thrived in our masculine and are leaning into femininity
Jenni surprised herself by doing a 365 day reels challenge despite the feminine being chaotic
Mediumship is a medium that can be used many ways like a pencil so it can’t be compared
Jenni uses hers to bring wisdom from the higher self rather than evidential mediumship
Even inspirational mediumship has an important role in advancing us as humans
Not everyone is meant to be on TV at the highest capacity in mediumship
Historically, mediumship is based on an external force rather than the wisdom within us
Jenni believes that sharing what was not expressed in life is more healing than evidence
A teacher’s views on suicide and Indigenous Spirits are partly why Jenni did minimal training
Cancer is ruled by the moon and reflects the light of others, so Cancers impact people
Fear-based teachers can have toxic and harmful beliefs
Jenni channels astrology information that is often validated by astrologists
When she experiences hardships, they allow her to help clients experiencing the same
You receive a lot more information from people who influence you when you’re psychic
We have alter egos that come out in social situations to be seen (Leo) or mysterious (Scorpio)
Jenni hosted the Je Vois retreat (I see) a 4 day, 360 degree view of your life
She plans events through the lens of a woman who doesn’t know anyone
Each day starts with education, then integration and celebration to keep from being too heavy
Je Vois is a combination of deep hard work and luxury
The topics for the days are inner child, align body and soul, and ascend to connect with Spirit
Jenni is collaborating with Renata for the next step, Je Crée, which is I Create
Themes are confess your truth, commit to rewriting the contract, and conquer the outer expression
Champagne is part of Jenni’s brand and she sent two bottles for 2 years of the Collective

Today, I am talking to Winter Brook, a psychic and transfiguration medium, reiki master, spiritualist minister, teacher, attorney, and humanitarian. We met through Mavis Pittilla's Advanced Mediumship. I did it two years in a row and we were in a circle together in the cohort we were both in. We didn't have much time to engage with one another there, but we continued to follow each other on Facebook. Getting to know more about Winter and her physical mediumship through that connection is why I wanted to have her on today. This interview also showed how Winter’s love for animals and humanitarian work overlaps with her spiritual work. She is a natural teacher and we are so excited to have her join us in the Spirit School Collective as a guest mentor for the members to experience her energy and wisdom.

In this episode, Winter defines some of the key terms associated with physical mediumship and transfiguration to provide us with a basic understanding. She shares some of her experiences as both a sitter and a medium, giving us more context around what happens in a dark seance. Winter also talks about how skeptics going into a reading with a code word can ruin a reading because the sitter’s energy impacts the energy. The only negativity she has experienced in this work is from other humans. For those feeling that there is negative energy around, Winter reminds us that we are also spirit and can set intentions for our energy!

Winter will also be presenting as part of the Physical Mediumship in Victorian Times event in Lily Dale, NY June 18-22. Find out more at https://www.spiritartgallery.net/

In this episode:

Winter shut down the gifts she had as a child
She raised her two daughters in her hometown on Long Island as a single mother
She began to experience people’s thoughts and emotions in 2005
Winter got books from the library and found out about Spiritualist churches in her area
She is an advocate of continued education and we met through a class with Mavis Pittilla
Lily Dale, New York is the largest spiritualist community in the US
Spiritualism is a religion, philosophy, and science using mediumship to prove the continuity of life
You need to be a Spiritualist for a year to live there and most homeowners are mediums
In the summer, there would be 20-30,000 visitors pre-covid for readings and lectures
When you go through the gate, it's almost like the energy is palpable
There are workshops on all different metaphysical topics
Dominic Boag is coming to teach at Spirit School and will be on the East Coast this summer
There is a children’s week with programs so parents can go to classes
Winter is teaching at a symposium of physical mediumship in Victorian times June 18-22
Apports are when objects are materialized by spirit
Transfiguration is when spirit changes the features of the medium
Physical mediumship is usually done in the dark with red, green or blue light
Physical mediumship has traditionally been hosted outside the boundaries of Lilydale proper
An image of Winter’s dad with evidence was created on paper by spirit in a seance and after
Not many mediums knew about physical mediumship, so Winter took courses to learn about it
Mental mediumship is messages coming through for the sitter
Sitters witness physical mediumship through the senses
The room gets cold, and people may see, hear, smell, or feel the presence of spirit
In transfiguration, an ectoplasmic mist builds up in front of her face and other faces appear
Physical mediumship takes years of dedication with no guarantee of anything happening
Elementals will elongate Winter’s ear, and recently her middle finger has been elongated
A medium told her that she would know she’s working with an ET when her finger grows long
In one of the photos, Winter’s face is transformed into what is clearly a man’s face
Winter shares her opinion on Surviving Death such as how code words were depicted
Having a code word comes from lack and prevents you from receiving other evidence
Mediumship is not a perfect science, just as no one in other professions are perfect
Mediums use cabinets for physical mediumship to contain the energy that is building
Winter is tied down during transfiguration in case of unexpected movements and ectoplasm burns
Metal jewellery needs to be removed so people don’t think it’s an apport, and to avoid interference
Being able to communicate with animals has caused a “foster fail” for Winter with kittens
Winter does feel some discomfort from physical mediumship but says you get over it
As a sitter at a seance, you may feel nausea or pulling if spirit uses your energy
Winter describes it as a 2 out of 10 for discomfort, though women have high pain tolerance
I had a trance experience where I felt my crown being pulled and felt I needed to heal someone
Trance is not the same as physical mediumship, but can benefit your mental mediumship
I’ve been told by Winter and Mavis that I could do physical mediumship, but I love teaching
Winter says the only negativity she’s experienced in mediumship is from other humans
She does do house clearings and tries to teach people how to do it themselves
We are all spirit, just in a different form, so you can set intentions and step into your power

Welcome to the March 2023 Spirit Messages. This month's overarching themes are about the law of reciprocity, your interactions and knowledge exchanges, and a lot of spirituality and spiritual growth.

Knowledge exchange came up in the February Spirit Messages, and I've been shifting my perspective on how I engage with my peers and with those who inspire me. I want to be reciprocal in nature to thank them for their time and energy.

If I were to say that this month is to be focused on one thing, it's going be awareness around this exchange and looking at what you need as an exchange to feel filled up again.

As we are heading into spring, the world of Spirit really wants to bring to our attention this sense of renewal that we need to bring into ourselves. We will have some beautiful representations in the natural world around us, with Mother Earth and the abundance that comes with that reciprocity.

It's a very spiritual month. A lot of the things that are coming up are around spirituality. So if you have been feeling disconnected from spirituality or disengaged from your spiritual path, this will be a really exciting month for you to reconnect.

In this episode:

We're going to find ourselves outside and connecting with nature.
We give, give, give and tend to overgive as parents, but there is an opportunity to receive if we shift our perspective.
There is the opportunity for us to be recharged and refilled by little nuances that happen every day.
This is going to be a month of expanding our awareness.
We will shift that perspective on 'how can I make this a more reciprocal experience?'
The things that can bring us the most joy will be those little moments.
Be the person who looks out and takes in that moment of full presence and gratitude for the experience you're having right now.
Reframe anxiety: 'It's like I get to experience these nerves and call them excitement.'
Not everything that depletes us will be changeable.
Find the law of reciprocity in existing situations and relationships.
I don't believe we are meant to live this life without hiccups or depletion.
We are coming into a lot of completions when it comes to the end of March - a lot of it is around stories you're telling yourself.
The practice of awareness and of being extremely hyper-present gives us spiritual resolve, and becoming aware of love and joy in your everyday moments will fill you up.
Little practices will help build the spiritual strength you have sought in other places.
Not everything that works for someone will work for you; spirituality, above all else, is not a one size fits all journey.
I need to say this directly from Spirit, 'you are not a burden.'
Keeping so many different worries and concerns inside can lead to digestive issues, and it's time to break this cycle.
Release some of what you're carrying and share that load with others; it is helping other people in their karma.
When we are sitting and listening to people, we're not trading wounds.
We need to ask the people approaching us, 'do you want me to sit back and listen to you? Or can you inform me when you are looking for my feedback or advice?'
We want to get a lot more emotionally intelligent in our exchanges.
There are counsellors out there that will happily listen to you.
There will be so many powerful dreams and feeling of the presence of the spirit world.
Not everyone has the privilege of rest, but carve out time for it if you do.

Today, I am talking to Julie Poole, an intuitive psychic, healer, channeler, Reiki Master/Teacher, Professional Hypnotherapist, Coach and Author from the UK. I discovered her through her astrology forecasts on YouTube and resonated with her Virgo forecasts! I also had a reading with her, which was very accurate for what was happening in my life. Her background as a therapist and spiritual teacher are reflected in her grounded and holistic approach to her work.

In today’s episode, we talked about our consciousness rising here on earth and how we are moving towards a Golden Age. Julie shared how aliens, highly evolved beings, are supporting us in our evolution and how we as humans will connect to each other in a new way. Her new book, From Hoping to Having, showcases her wisdom and experience with the law of attraction. Julie says that the reason many people don’t have results is that they are not following all the steps, so her book provides the foundation for you to manifest!

In this episode:

I found Julie’s YouTube energy forecasts to be so accurate that I booked a reading
As a hypnotherapist and counselor, she has a holistic approach as a spiritual/life coach
Grounding spiritual teachings and connecting it to daily life
You are a synergy of different parts and are greater when they come together
She empowers you to use tools and find your own answers
We can’t bypass the human experience of learning from our mistakes
As a child, Julie noticed the disconnect in Christians between their behaviour in and out of church
There are many people awakening and expanding as we approach the Golden Age
We’re past the tipping point and it’s easier to see the darkness with more light
We’ve signed up to be here and help others during this transition
The Golden Age will be a time of genuinely caring for and understanding each other
We’ve had the most rapid change in history in the last 100 years
We are moving towards higher vibrational energies that are love-based, not fear-based
Rules are breaking so we can step into our freedom and question them
Spiritual teachers from the past show us how to be less judgemental and more compassionate
As we expand, we become more aware of people’s emotions and energy
Aliens can be in a body, or an energetic form, not from earth called HEBs (highly evolved beings)
There are aliens already advanced to where we are heading in the next 500 years
HEBs want to help up because the universe rises when earth does
I grew up in a family obsessed with sci-fi and had a fear of aliens
Our chakras are expanding to have more capacity for security, love and confidence
Generations born in times of fear and war are more insecure, and each one gets stronger
Having these abilities in the 70s and 80s was seen as a party trick
Julie read books and connected to spirit on her own and joined a circle at 37
Her children were brought up with her talking to spirit, using crystals, and running a circle
Julie’s son joined her circle as a teen and was a natural but shifted away
Her daughter learned from her example and has manifested amazing things with ease
It’s more open to do this work and not behind closed doors through word of mouth
It takes practice to develop intuitively and it’s great to have videos to look back on
Julie received positive comments on videos she felt weren’t good enough, but said “it’ll do”
It’s not about how good we think it is, but the fact that it is meant to help people
Her YouTube channel started with free self hypnosis audios to help people
In 2017, Julie had her first online session with a client over Skype
She followed nudges to add tarot readings and her business took off
Julie cut back her client hours to write her book and start a podcast
She is learning about podcasting from scratch through YouTube
Julie also reduced her hours to be with her children in their formative years
Content from programs that didn’t take off ended up being part of her book
Because her books are channeled, she writes them quickly, the longest taking 10 months
Her new book is called From Hoping to Having: The Three Rs to Create Your Best Life.
The three parts, the three Rs are remember, reset, receive
Remember is about your creating from your personal, spiritual and I am power
Reset is about reprogramming your responsibilities, boundaries and commitments
Receiving is about kindness, gratitude, forgiveness, prosperity and health
People feel that the law of attraction doesn’t work, but they are missing steps
There is a separate affirmations booklet to complement the book
You need to have boundaries in order to manifest the life of your dreams

FROM HOPING TO HAVING: THE ‘3 Rs’ TO CREATE YOUR BEST LIFE : REMEMBER-RESET-RECEIVE

Today, I am talking to my dear client turned friend, Emily Barnard of The Things That Make You Go Woo podcast, and @emilyandherstars. She is an astrologist, teacher, medium, and Akashic records reader Emily was my very first online mentorship client and we have become very close friends over the past few years. We have a mutual love of history, pop culture, and memes that translates into our passion for sharing information instead of gatekeeping.

In today’s conversation, Emily and I are discussing the importance of collaboration and community on the spiritual path. To foster these types of connections, Emily created the Third Eye Library, an online space for people to explore their spiritual curiosities in a safe and supportive environment off of social media. The tagline is “Ancient wisdom, modern mystics” and there are several librarians covering a wide range of topics.

In the Spirit School Collective, Emily will also be teaching a series of classes on Astrology for Lightworkers to help us understand how it can support us on our path.

In this episode:

Emily’s love of astrology was shared with her grandmother
She started her mediumship journey on her own and reached out to me for mentorship
Everyone has different insights into astrology and reading birth charts
You can tap into the hidden superpowers in your chart at different times
Your 12 month astrological cycle begins with your birthday
Emily focuses on evolutionary astrology, the soul’s journey through lifetimes
Past life and Akashic records came into her practice from exploring north and south node wounds
I’ve been skeptical of past life work, but when it comes up, it makes so much sense
Emily keeps astrology separate from her Akashic readings
She has a Cosmic Alignment that combines multiple modalities
Emily talks about “woo” history on her podcast, Things That Make You Go Woo
She loves to uncover the truth behind myths and questions that are relevant today
We both appreciate inclusive history that honours the stories that have been removed
Most of the evidence we have in history is from the Victorian era
Something I promote that Emily does incredibly well is collaboration
In the past, she followed the mindset of keeping information to yourself
Everyone in Spirit School and in this field has been open with time and knowledge
There is no need to gatekeep information because we’re all in this together
It’s important to have friends who understand spiritual awakenings and experiences
The Third Eye Library was created as a safe space for people to connect
The friends Emily has made is why she will continue to share
The Third Eye Library was inspired by an art instruction platform
It’s a place for community and for exploring new information and curiosities
The tagline is, “Ancient wisdom, modern mystics” and it’s important to recognize origins
Emily wanted to share the people that she trusts and refers to for classes and modalities
The Third Eye Library is a safety net for navigating spiritual awakening and exploration
Being off of social media eliminates the fear that friends and family will see your posts
It’s important that librarians in the space are still learning and on the journey
There are rooms for animal alchemy, meditation, medical, oracle cards
It’s a sacred feminine space of support, not turning out content for the masses
Seeing a framework of collaboration is healing in a space focused on the individual

Inconvenient Truths in Mediumship DevelopmentThis episode was recorded in December, and it was based on some inconvenient truths that came up when I was preparing content about being a confident lightworker. Developing confidence is not an easy path, and it takes a lot of courage to step into this work. If you are not someone who does readings or serves the public, this episode will give you some insight into how vulnerable it is to show up in this way.

Most of the inconvenient truths come back to taking action and seeing things from a higher perspective. We are here to have a human experience and that often means moving through discomfort. I hope that the truths I share provide some examples of how to build your own confidence as a lightworker, or as a human.

Feel free to share your own inconvenient truths in Spirit School, or by tagging me @squamishmedium on Instagram!

In this episode:

The only way to get over fear is to walk through it
I started the podcast to talk about how vulnerable it is to show up in mediumship
Showing up publicly to do readings is a real legit fear
Learning and hearing that you’re not alone helps
Confidence is on the other side of action
People are always scared of doing practice readings the first week in The Initiation
Despite the fear, Initiation students are glad they had practice readings week one
Once you walk through the first resistance, you’re in the arena
I don’t want to have regrets about not doing things because I didn’t feel ready
The time is always now
Everyone is waiting for a “signier sign” to know when it’s time to do something
Having the inspiration is your soul offering the opportunity now
If you have an inspiration, you should run with it
Things work out better when I do them before I’m ready than when I plan for perfection
I have a team supporting me, so I can act on ideas much quicker now
You can always see things from a higher perspective
We can get stuck in the vortex of our difficult human experiences
Sooner or later you will be asked to look at that situation from a higher perspective
It may come externally through others, or through reflection on your healing journey
I don’t want to bypass that some things happen to us out of our control
“History is written, so now what?”
I am able to zoom out and find the higher perspective quicker after 10 years of healing
Someone’s true colours discouraged me from having readers under my brand in 2022
When no one signed up for the agency, it only took me a couple days to let it go
Spirit made me realize that there were other things that needed my attention
When I am healing, I ask, “Can I see this from the eyes of the angels/spirit world?”
You grow the most through discomfort
We don’t change, and have less growth, when things are comfortable
I ride the cycles of ebbs and flows with a higher perspective and acceptance
I have seen the biggest expansion on the flow side of that ebb that I honored
Memes are brilliant ways of expressing things in a synthesized way
There is always a cringe after teaching or recording a podcast episode
Cringe moments are here to teach us how to accept ourselves as we come
Like intention, acceptance is another secret sauce to live a free and expansive life
The healing couldn’t start until I came into acceptance with myself and what happened
In the end, you truly are your own best friend, even if you have friends and coaches
I had to get to a place where I could lead myself through every single situation
You're actually not meant to bypass the human experience
There is a lot of dialogue about ascending and replacing icky feelings with good ones
I needed to experience the grief of losing Bender to grow as a medium
I believe that our guides also evolve when we have human experiences

Hopefully, you all had a good start to the new year and feel hopeful for 2023. What I have to say around February may bring you some inspiration and bring you hope and clarity on where the world of Spirit sees us moving our attention and energy next.

I know so many of you out there want to be able to share all the things that you know. So, I feel very much that Spirit's encouraging us to give ourselves a bit more space to figure these things out, see where we land, and really get clear on the intention of the ripple effect that we want to create in the future and for our future selves.

I hope these Spirit messages land for you today and this month. I hope to see you in Spirit School, and if not, I will see you on the next episode of Spirit School, the podcast.

In this episode:

We're holding the duality of things going well and not going well and we get to choose which one we lean into
At the end of 2022, there was sifting energy and shaking energy, trying to get the good stuff to come to the top – and there was a lot of discomfort.
As we move into February there's a new heightened awareness about who we are and what we stand for
Around Valentine's Day, you will have confidence and clarity around how you're choosing to spend your time and who you're choosing to spend it with
Showing up in your own inner truth for the month of February will be lighting a path for a new way of potentially being
I would love for people, instead of saying, 'pick your brain,' if you can present it as a knowledge exchange
By showing up and honoring your own inner truth and worth, you’re giving other people permission to do the same.
It’s about sifting out other people's voices and other people's beliefs and other people's analogies and phrases and terminology and really identifying your own inner truth
If you want to go deeper into these Spirit messages sit in spiritual contemplation (suggested direction included)
We are in a time of great divine free will and the future is still unset
This isn’t a time to make rash decision or big pivots
We need to reconcile our inner truth and come into a level of acceptance of it to heal it
Start making decisions that are reflective of the future you desire, not the history and the cycles of the past
A lot of us will start to feel a lot more contentment and start making decisions from that content place
Spirit is celebrating us so hard; they're literally rooting us on and celebrating us

I have been seeing a lot more about The Akashic Records lately so I wanted to bring my bestie, Malibu Medium on to ask her questions I was curious about! Amber has been on the podcast before - I interview her about her Near Death Experience and experiences with Angels on an earlier episode and trust Ambers's knowledge on this topic as she has been mentoring others on how to access The Akashic Records for as long as I've known her.

I wondered about the development journey difference between Mediumship and The Akashic Records for a while now so we get a little into that too!

I hope you enjoy the conversation and wonder if you had the same questions as I did, or what else you would ask? Tag us on Instagram and let us know!

Lecture Series: Mediumship Q&A One of the benefits of being in the free Spirit School community is that I enjoy going live to connect with you. This episode is from the Mediumship Q&A I did in that space on January 14. Most of the questions were submitted ahead of time and there were some that came up live. Come join us for the next one and enjoy the other free development experiences we have to offer!

The Initiation 8-Week Mediumship Foundations Experience includes self study, live classes, practice readings and Q&A calls. This is a robust course for anyone in their first three years of mediumship development.

Questions from the episode:

Difference between mediumship vs channeling. Will the Initiation/Collective develop both?
Distinguishing gender and avoiding mis-gendering - have you been able to discern non-binary souls?
What do you do when you get stuck in a reading? My logical brain gets in the way when I ask questions to Spirit.
Have you had any impactful sensory experiences in Indigenous ceremonies? (with elders, pipe carriers, etc.)
How can I best apply mediumship development to working with groups and Indigenous organizations? I rarely receive messages for individuals
How do you discern and ethically communicate to a sitter what is spirit messages versus personal/psychic insights?
As a therapist, I have fear around professional reputation if I talk about my mediumship abilities. Any advice on integrating or sharing with others?
How has your process in mediumship readings evolved after years of professional readings?
What can I do if the sitter can’t place a spirit I’m connecting with?
How do I not lose focus if they remember later who I was talking about?
If they resonate with a description but a photo they show isn't what I pictured, is it me or the sitter filling in blanks in our minds?
Honouring the ebbs when it feels like you’re taking steps back
In a public setting for readings, how have you encountered and handled people challenging you?

The theme of duality in life has been showing up again in January. As I received the keys to the Spirit School space, I’m also experiencing vertigo and strep throat. However, I am choosing to lean into the joyful side of life and to celebrate what this new space means for Spirit School and all those who will go on to make an impact from their experiences there!

In today’s episode, I am sharing a channeled class and philosophy from the last round of The Initiation about mediumship as an art. The live classes in my intimate development experiences are in response to the questions and conversations happening in the community. Part of the reason I’ve taught this mediumship foundations program so many times is that it’s different every round!

Though there is more scientific research being done and there is a basic structure, mediumship is more of a healing artform. If you think of it like a blank canvas, you get to bring your own experiences and modalities and create something new!

The Initiation 8-Week Mediumship Foundations Experience includes self study, live classes, practice readings and Q&A calls. This is a robust course for anyone in their first three years of mediumship development. The cart will be open until we start on Friday, January 27!

In this episode:

Science is getting closer to understanding mediumship, it is still a form of art
We can have more fun on this path if we see it as a blank canvas
I want to remove the stigma around using other modalities and spiritual tools in mediumship
Many people connect with spirit during Reiki or oracle card sessions when they are in flow
I began developing mediumship before I connected with angels and oracle cards
You can pull an oracle card for inspiration if you’re stuck in a reading
Scribbling what comes up initially can help mediums narrow the focus to start
You can refer to the paper if you get stuck, just like oracle cards
Almost everything I write unfolds, even if I don’t look
Don’t let people tell you that using tools is a crutch
Mediumship is an art form and mentors give you a brush and paint
You are the blank canvas and get to decide how and what to paint
Some of you may fall into comparing colours, tools, or skills
It took me awhile on my journey to realize that you could add layers
Everyone’s painting turns out different with the same prompts
Your mediumship and connection to spirit are just as unique
You miss the creative process if you analyze instead of allowing it to unfold
If something you learn doesn’t work, you’ll find your own technique that you can teach
The creative process is the path that reveals what you will teach
You can change the brush or colours anytime
When you get a no, it provides clarity for you to tweak the “happy mistakes”
We aren’t for everyone, so it needs to be your own taste for you to enjoy it
Although I’m not artistic, creating a business is the most creative thing I’ve done
Document your experiences to look back at how far you’ve come
You can feel the energetic difference between the words discern and analyze
We talk about the importance of language in advancing mediumship modules
I don’t Google spiritual philosophies until I’ve contemplated them myself
Spiritual maturity is the ability to discern, not analyze
Analyzing is the ability to make conclusions based on natural senses
Discernment goes past perception and makes nuanced judgements
Discernment is more passive like observing your thoughts
Spirituality is meant to be experienced, not analyzed through logic
Discernment increases in sensitivity along our journey
No good reading identifies us and no bad reading identifies us.

The InitiationSpirit School

I’ve been ready for 2023 to come and I’m excited to bring you the January spirit messages! I say that these are collective messages with a disclaimer that I am not intending to speak on the behalf of 8 billion people on this planet. This is Spirit's way, and my spirit's way, of bringing forward information that I feel will resonate with a lot of people who are regular listeners and who will be drawn to listen to this. I believe Spirit will attract you as a listener to different episodes at different times, and you will hear something that will resonate with you when you need it.

I couldn't wait to record this episode because all month it's just been coming in so, so clear that when we feel into the energy of January, we are being asked to start looking to our future selves. This is very powerful because I know from being in the intuitive mediumship and spiritual development journey, that there's so much healing that has to take place to be able to step fully and confidently into our paths as lightworkers.

This episode ends with a Confident Future Self visualization and I encourage you to journal what you envision for yourself in 2023!

The doors are now open for the eighth round of The Initiation! This Mediumship Foundations Experience includes self study, live classes, practice readings and Q&A calls. This is a robust course for anyone in their first three years of mediumship development. There will be an alumni rate, and I will run the first cohort of The Initiation 2.0 for Advancing Mediumship after this round for anyone looking to continue their studies! I will be offering an annual membership for $1111 USD for the Spirit School Collective for 2023! It will include The Initiation ($888 USD value) for FREE! The cart for this will be open until we start on January 27, so there is time to decide if this feels aligned for you.

Spirit Messages:

All of December, Spirit has been saying it’s time to start looking to our future selves
A lot of healing takes place to be able to step confidently into our paths as lightworkers.
There is a focus on the past, but it’s an important time to make decisions for the future
We are more aware of repeating cycles and patterns than a few generations ago
Cycles are broken by choosing again and making decisions based on future benefits
Even for diet and exercise, are you choosing for your 90-year-old self?
If you’re the only one in your circle to break the cycle, the effects will ripple
Spirit is asking us to take leaps and see how it feels
Have a note to ask, how will this affect my future self?
It’s now or never for society to not revert back to comfortable ways
We are creating a new foundation for our generations moving forward
In January, we are getting clear on what and who we stand for
Who needs your voice? A lot of you will be ready to share your wisdom
You will be surprised with how much people need to hear what you have to say
Throat chakra tightness will loosen as you express yourself
The spaces we are usually quiet need us to step forward
There is a lot of divine free will at play, so our future depends on every choice
Choose based on being a good ancestor for your lineage
We have had chaos before, but this time we have exposure to all parts of the world
As a spirit here at this time, can you see how valuable you are to the future?
The 2019 messages to get our mindset right were preparing us for 2020 forward
Another repetitive message from the past year was being comfortable with discomfort
Spirit is bringing up how we avoid and pacify discomfort to prepare us for 2023
Beyond August will be dependent on our words and actions
Discomfort is an energy of change which is necessary
Starting in January, we have to be a lot more selective about our energy
Spirit revisited a previous message about healing on the go
You don’t need to be fully healed before moving forward into your future
There will be a lot of determination in 2023 to walk through obstacles
People doubting you won’t stop you from continuing
The people you choose to surround you will continue when you need rest
It makes sense that I didn’t feel like pulling 12 cards now that I couldn’t see the fall
8 Accelerated Motion card aligns with us moving forward, not back
The Light card indicates spiritual experiences if we listen to the January messages
We will realize that our light never diminishes, even in the dark times
The Increased Intuition card reflects confidence we’re building in our intuition
Even systems like medical and law enforcement will use intuitive language
Coming out with intuitive gifts will be safer than before
Development will be a natural byproduct of living intuitively with boundaries
Life is always hard and beautiful, and we get to choose how to show up
Future Self Visualization

I was asked by a few people for some personal updates, so I decided to record an episode to talk about the major events and challenges in 2022. I’m giving it a 3.5 star review - WHAT the hell was that?! I haven’t recorded the spirit messages yet, but I want to share what Spirit has been inspiring me with for 2023 as well. I now have some clarity on what the focus will be looking towards the future.

I would love to hear your top 3 things from 2022 and your top 3 for heading into 2023! You’re welcome to share them on the post for this episode in Spirit School. I enjoy getting to know you there. The move off of social media was one of my main goals for 2022, and this is one of the benefits! I hope you enjoy hearing my recap and I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and your acceptance of the emotions that come along with it.

For the first time, I will be offering an annual membership for $1111 USD and it will include The Initiation (a $888 USD value) for FREE! The cart for this will be open until we start on January 31st, so there is time to decide if this feels aligned for you.

In this episode:

I’ve got a bit more clarity on what the focus will be for 2023
While last January feels like lifetimes ago, I also don’t know where the time has gone
2022 started with the obsession with getting Spirit School off of social media
I have benefitted from this shady system of social media, particularly Instagram
Stories of me crying had 1000 views, but talking about The Initiation had 150 max
Meta platforms made it so that you have to pay for ads for promotions to be seen
There was a hearing about the intentional harm in Meta’s algorithms
I felt a mismatch in values having Spirit School on their platforms
Another issue is that there are always 3-5 scam accounts impersonating me
I had to hire someone to help manage my DMs, and it took the fun out of being there
Reels are being pushed and I don’t want to be a content creator
TikTok builds up creators then takes away their exposure, creating unequal exchange
My IG growth is slow because I don’t play games and I block suspicious followers
Moving my programs off of Meta and onto Mighty Networks was a sovereign move
Mighty is an all-in-one platform with opportunities for growth
My team moved all of my historical content to Mighty over 5 months
We launched successfully with The Calling, then moved the Collective
I’m off of Facebook but will not leave Instagram because of my audience
Off social media, I have Mighty, my podcast and mailing list for sovereign growth
I will be able to buy it out as my own platform, and I get to just show up and speak
I’ve focused on getting trauma informed from a financial place as a BIPOC woman
I kept finding myself in relationship with people who worship money
I don’t think about it that much, but I wondered if I was supposed to
Being around people who talked about money a lot made me feel not enough
I had a friend literally choose the pursuit of wealth over genuine friendship
I have named my money wounds and have come a long way in my healing
I became trauma informed certified for entrepreneurship
In January, I will be certified through the Trauma of Money and will be a facilitator
I’m passionate about this because money stuff comes up for lightworkers
I had resistances to helping clients with pricing because of my own wounds
I’ve learned so much and I’ll have the tools to help people when money comes up
I was trauma-informed before because I worked with Indigenous residential school survivors and youth
Just because you’re trauma informed doesn’t mean you won’t traumatize someone
It’s about being prepared and having the skillset to repair
All lightworkers, especially mediums, could benefit because we work with grief
I’ve made changes to my business like removing penalties for payment plans
Clarity is kindness, so I created a detailed syllabus for The Initiation
It was a successful year in terms of money, but I value connection
This was the hardest year of my life in a lot of ways
WIthin a week, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and my brother was in a coma
I had just recorded a reel to my younger self to love on my brother
The hardest part was when I had to say goodbye to him
I took a month off to be by his side every day while he recovered
Having opportunities for exposure fall through showed I’ll be self made
It dissolved the illusion of exposure and I realized it’s an ad to be featured
I’ve created Spirit School from my bedroom, but I started looking for a space
Everything unfolded for me to get one of three waterfront spaces in Squamish
I got funding from an Indigenous capital organization to build the space
My first retreat is going to be focused on deep spiritual experiences
I will run the first Initiation 2.0 to focus on psychic, group readings and business
I’ve already had some plans stripped away, so this could change

This week, I am talking about “sitting with spirit” as part of my personal development practice. I talked about this in the episode about making time for your development, but this episode will be more in depth. I am going to lead you through a guided visualization experience as an example of one way I sit with spirit. Even though I was aware of mediumship for most of my life, my development path didn’t start until my first mediumship connection. Sitting in the power is a foundational part of the Spiritualist tradition and teachings, but as I’ve mentioned before, it wasn’t sustainable for me. I need more flexibility in my practice, which is how I started sitting with spirit.

This is also why I teach The Initiation, my 8-Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, the way that I do. I provide a variety of learning formats such as live classes, self-paced lessons, Q+A opportunities, community and practice readings. I want this path to be accessible to as many people as possible! Many alumni from this experience go on to join my monthly membership, the Spirit School Collective, so I have a special deal for 2023. For the first time, I will be offering an annual membership for $1111 USD and it will include The Initiation (a $888 USD value) for FREE! The cart for this will be open until we start on January 31st, so there is time to decide if this feels aligned for you.

I hope that what I share in this episode helps you to find a spiritual practice that fits your needs so that you can continue to expand on your path.

In this episode:

A sitting in the power practice will improve your mediumship and connection with yourself
Meditation and slowing down can be hard for some people
It can feel unsafe and cause discomfort to be present in the body
Spirit School is all about development that honours your humanity
I dedicated 30 minutes a day to my spiritual growth and sitting with spirit
I chose between meditation, oracle cards, and tuning into clients for upcoming sessions
I had a profound experience with Skylar that introduced me to connecting through pendulums
I would sometimes use my sitting with spirit time to listen to mediumship lectures
One of my claircognizant exercises is to journal things that can be validated tomorrow
I keep all of my development journals and can see the accuracy of the lists increasing
No matter which practice I chose, I always dedicated 30 minutes a day to sitting with spirit
When you care about it, you will make space for development
My goal is to make spiritual development accessible, so choose what resonates with you
It is a great act of self love to have space to tune into yourself, even for 30 minutes
Your sensitivity and connection to yourself and your intuition will increase
The world of spirit watches us and helps align things that match our intentions and actions
Wild spiritual experiences have followed after dedicated to sitting with spirit
Even when things get busy, I yearn for that connection and spend time sitting with spirit
This helps us to open our awareness back up to spirit when it feels like it’s closed up
Music can help busy minds to stay present when sitting in the power
Sitting with Spirit Visualization with music

This week, I am having a conversation with my dear friend Michael Mayo. He is a medium, the founder of the Oakbridge Institute, and the author of a new book, Spirit Speaks. Michael shares that he wanted his book to have everything someone needs to begin their mediumship development journey. He talked about how mediumship is more about allowing yourself to receive than technique, and shared his thoughts on the differences between UK and US mediumship standards. One of the things that came out of this conversation was a shared agreement that we need more genuine sharing and accessibility for mediumship because it can benefit everyone.

I said more than once in the episode how energizing it was to have this conversation about mediumship! This is one of the benefits of being in community while doing this work.

The next round of The Initiation starts on January 31! Join the waitlist for a special bundle and pricing. (Hint: This will be especially exciting if you’ve been thinking about joining my monthly membership!)https://view.flodesk.com/pages/636318632d6246fc1453ca16

In this episode:

It is surreal to have people reading his new book and reflecting back how impactful it is
Someone from Llewellyn publishing saw his interview on Shift Network and offered a book deal
He wrote his new book, Spirit Speaks, in a focused month of writing
Michael saw a need for his type of teaching that is not technique based
He wanted his book to have everything someone needs to begin their mediumship journey
If you teach a technique, it’s not going to work for everyone
Teach the bigger principles of surrender, allowing, trust, letting go of tension
Pioneers of spiritualism didn’t have techniques, they sat in presence and communed with Spirit
Spiritualists in the US and UK had to overcome religious extremism
In Indigenous cultures, it was accepted as a role you were born into without barriers
Spiritualists asked religious questions, like does Jesus say this is okay?
Indigenous cultures talk to animal and plant people as equals on this planet
Michael notes that today’s battle is scientific in addition to being religious
In a materialistic society, it’s hard to imagine not having to prove something
We can’t bypass the human experience and need for some validation
In the end, we want to honour the world of spirit and their messages
Focus on the phenomena of mediumship makes spirit a tool for performance
I imagine that my Nana would demand my attention as a medium
TV mediums created new expectations of what a sitting is like
While it normalized mediumship, but it also lowered the standards in some ways
The UK has kept it sacred, while it’s about entertainment and persona in the US
It’s not about systems and structures, it’s innate and about spiritual experiences
Religious context makes Spiritualism less accessible to people with religious trauma
Everyone loses someone, so can benefit from mediumship
We need people from all different walks of life to make it accessible
Mediums we admire are grounded and don’t need to prove themselves
Pinnacle mediums like Helen Hughes have shown what’s possible
She learned how to speak in front of people because of the responsibility
Though used offensively in literature, “ignorance” may mean more free to channel
Being a clear channel has more to do with surrender and confidence than intelligence
The title “evidential medium” has been used as a way to present as superior
It goes without saying that mediumship should be evidential so titles aren’t that crucial
There are people that will prefer facts, and others who prefer shared memories
We are all natural mediums because it’s how we connect to our spiritual self
CHildren have abilities before their prefrontal cortex is developed
Even a natural medium needs to develop and learn, just like a pianist
Michael has a troubleshooting section in the book of common issues
He reads excerpts are about having a heart of service and trusting yourself
One change in mediumship is it is a staple in research of evidential proof of survival
We are also moving away from showmanship and into the bigger picture and meaning
We will be discerning what is genuine and what is harmful on platforms like TikTok
Genuine and honest people don’t need to be loud and receive the validation
Michael reflected his appreciation for how I share my voice in this work

None

Thank you for your patience between solo episodes this past month while I’ve been healing from being sick. I’m happy to be back for the December Spirit Messages! I shared some news in the episode about acquiring my physical space for Spirit School here in Squamish. I will have to do another one to share the whole journey with you!

In the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership, we will be doing our FIRST online Psychic Fair on December 10th! You will be able to register for a reading very soon. I had so much fun doing these in my development, and I can’t wait! In addition to my practice circles, Stacee Magee (Spirit Fluent) who you met in a recent episode, will be teaching a Medical Intuition workshop in the Collective as a guest mentor in December. One of my clients, Alesha, will be teaching about the feminine this month too! As if that isn’t enough, the Spirit School Collective members will also have a five day giveaway in December!

We’re wrapping up our 5-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, in the free Spirit School Community this week. From November 28 - December 2, I’m going live each day to share teachings and tips about building up your confidence, whether you are doing this work to serve or for yourself! The replays for each 30 minute live session will be available for you to experience any time.

The messages for December are focused on returning to the love within yourself, and I hope you are able to take some time to connect this month.

December Spirit Messages:

The first messages was returning to love
Being wrapped in divine white loving light by spirit
Spirit acknowledging us for everything we’ve been through this year
These experiences help us to grow collectively in humanity and on the other side
We have had to surrender and find our inner guidance for discernment
It feels like we have reached the peak and will be unwinding and unpacking
We are being asked to return to love at this time
Can we see conflicts from a lens of love?
Allow yourself to anchor into love from the inside out
Some of you may feel a resistance to this love because of conditioning
Until we can receive it from our source, we won’t receive it in from others
Take intentional moments to sense and return to that love
There will be a ripple effect in our homes, communities and globally if we do
Spirit is asking us not to overcomplicate the healing required to change society
Returning to love can bring completions and resolutions in mindset and relationships
If you feel this love daily in December, your life can be very different by next month
Simplify and streamline so that you can focus on what matters most
Ask yourself how you can experience the busyness of the holidays with a place of love
There were a lot of 1s, indicating new beginnings for the new year
April is the astrological new year and spring feels like a fresh start
If you are feeling bored looking ahead, reimagine with excitement
It can be scary making changes when there are no guarantees
There's healing in taking positive movement forward in things that excite you
Why choose boredom when it’s just as uncertain?
Cards are also suggesting that collaboration could be the path forward
There is throat chakra and speaking attached to this
I am collaborating for my Trauma Informed Light Worker Certification Program
I could do it alone but I want to bring in other voices and perspectives
The world of spirit acknowledges your acceptance of your darker sides
You will gain so much confidence from the deep work this year
We chose to be who and where we are because we are needed here

Because I’ve been sick for the past few weeks, while also manifesting my dream physical space for Spirit School, it seemed like a good time to revisit a past episode. This episode is from March and it’s a compilation of a few IGTV live videos about manifesting your dream life and cultivating personal power. In this episode, I share how I called in my dream weekly schedule as an entrepreneur by allowing myself to dream big. I share about the shift from staying small to expanding so that I can inspire others by shining brightly. Have a journal handy to follow along with my exercise to manifest your dream week! Join us next week for a 5-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, in the free Spirit School Community. I’ll be going live for 30 minutes each day to share teachings and tips about building up your confidence, whether you are doing this work to serve or for yourself!

Women pursuing their dreams despite limiting beliefs
Being clear and specific with our words when manifesting
The uncertainty when you take the leap as an entrepreneur
Speak from the heart and show up authentically
Realizing your power inspires others so there is no need to dim your light
Doing what scares you offers invaluable growth
Having boundaries around your cycles and time
How to manifest your dream week
Manifesting from feelings and emotions
Devotion and following your intuition leads to downloads
Learning how to find balance in your routines to optimize your own energy
Cultivating self love and personal power without external validation

Stacee Magee (Spirit Fluent) This week’s guest, Stacee Magee, is TikTok famous for her incredible medical intuitive abilities. She has shared herself authentically on the platform and attracted many spiritual humans to follow her journey. I have been following her for quite awhile and we have become good friends. I’ve had three sessions with Stacee and am amazed by her accuracy! She will be teaching a medical intuitive intensive next year, so be sure to follow her if you’re interested in learning.

Stacy has many talents and abilities, so we only scratched the surface in this interview. From medical intuition to tattoo placements, the conversations we could have are endless! Stacee will be back on Spirit School to talk about her book on birthmarks next, in another episode.

In this episode:

Stacee identifies as a psychic weirdo rather than any other title that has been given to her
She is a mom to seven children and has been married 22 years
“Who am I really” is a big question and she is a rainbow who sheds light to help people
Many of her children are spiritually gifted and she enjoys watching them change
Stacee is generous and offers free medical intuitive readings and healing circles
Generosity and healing are in her astrology and she identifies with the wounded healer
A near death awakening around age 35 set her on a healing path
Her business thrives on generosity and making sure others have access she didn’t
Giving and receiving can come in seasons instead of at the time time
There is a dichotomy of generosity between being surprised and disappointed
People offer to help with Spirit Fluent without asking for compensation
I love Stacee’s simple yet accurate approach to medical intuition
People thank her after free readings because they have helped doctors find issues
One example was a lady experiencing headaches that ended up being a medical emergency
She states that she is not better than a doctor, but is connecting on many layers
Stacee described her ability as telekinesis and x-ray vision related to her autism
Sometimes it’s spirit or their higher self giving information and messages
She’s always had these abilities but didn’t understand them
Stacee was branded a hypochondriac because she could feel everyone else’s shit
I often feel like I am picking up on the ailments of my parents when I feel achy
Stacee recommends that you ask spirit if it’s yours or someone else’s
Thank them for the information and say process and release and/or touch a tree
Intuitive people’s auras are bigger and at one time we could all feel and understand each other
A medical study showed that Tylenol or Advil deceases empathy
Early in my development, I had a knowing not to take it before my sessions
In the spiritual space, people are afraid that medications will affect their abilities
Take care of your mental health and discern for yourself what feels right
I know of many mediums who can work fine with their medications
I recommend that students look at Stacee’s disclaimers and preparation for clients
She says her medical field experience and life coaching certification helped with intake
State your abilities and refer people for anything outside of that
Some things were added to the disclaimer after things went wrong
It’s important to have an emergency contact in case something happens on a call
Being trauma informed is important when dealing with sensitive topics in readings
Stacee shared a story about spirit urging her to share medical info at a farmer’s market
I don’t typically advise drive by readings, but this one seemed like divine intervention
Being in crowded places without shielding can be physically overwhelming
Stacee tries to go when it’s less crowded or collapses her aura down for protection
Her favourite readings are helping children with special needs communicate with parents
People in the healing arts are healing intergenerational money wounds
Healers used to be supported by the community, but now money is the exchange
Stacee has learned medical intuition from listening to spirit and clients’ bodies
Spirit leads her to resources for things she needs to learn
At a medical conference, a body scan indicated that people with tattoos leak energy
Stacee realized that tattoos are healing based on their placement
Her dad was a naturopath and she learned about acupuncture points as a child
She began telling people what they were healing from their tattoo placements
My inner forearm tattoos mean healing from control and taking power back
This aligns with the cultural genocide of my Indigenous ancestors
I had a birthmark that disappeared and a new one appear this year
Birthmarks are unhealed emotions from ancestors or past lives
My birthmark brought up the fact that I am a chronic worrier and need to trust my intuition
As spiritual people, we are aware of more things to be fearful of
We are in a human body to learn, and birthmarks may show why we have returned
Stacee will be teaching an intensive medical intuition course
Cheap certifications are not ethical, or inclusive of the experience needed

I’ve been under the weather this week, so the November spirit messages may feel a bit different than the past few months that were more channeled. I want to thank you for your solidarity in response to my last episode on the shadowy side of spiritual business. I received so many messages, including people who had a similar experience with the same podcaster, and others who agreed it was time to bring these issues to light. Scorpio season was perfect timing and I want to thank you for complimenting my vulnerability. If you are drawn to that aspect of my work, there is probably part of you who desires to show up in a similar way.

November is going to be an exciting month in Spirit School! In the Collective, we will have practice circles and a Q&A on death doula work with me. Sara Rose will also be teaching about Human Design in the membership, and there will be weekly opportunities to practice as always. In the free Spirit School space, we will be doing a five-day experience, The Confident Lightworker, that you are welcome to join whether you are practicing or not! This will take place the week of November 21st.

In this episode:

The first message that came to me for November was “a little bit more”
We think we need to have a huge shift to change things for ourselves
We actually just need a little bit more - peace, socialization, time to ourselves
Over-consumption is the norm but we don’t actually desire a lot more
We forget what we’ve been through in the pandemic, like after childbirth
Extremes have lessened over time, but we still feel we need something drastic
Spirit wants you to ask yourself, what can you do a little bit more of?
The shifts are big even if they seem small
There's also a message to have a bit more compassion for ourselves
It has taken courage to get to where you are now so give yourself credit
Desiring it more won’t make it come before it is meant to
Allow what you desire to come to you and sit in the contentment of the moment
A lot of us are past or forward thinking instead of being present in contentment
Instead of treasure hunting for shadow work, just deal with what comes up
Our peace will increase as the intensity of world events does as well
I get the feeling that we are being lifted up and becoming a lot brighter
If you usually avoid world events, you may be asked to step up in courage
You are sensitive, so you won’t come across as harmful
I don’t resonate with January as the new year, but people are thinking about 2023
You can follow curiosities instead of sticking to one thing like in the past
We don’t need to fully heal before moving on to the next thing
Because I am not feeling well, I am going back to cards instead of channeling today
We don’t have to relinquish hope when things are intense in the world
We chose to be here and thrive at this time to gain spiritual strength
We may not see the rewards, and new sense of clarity, for a year
Our loved ones in spirit are in awe that we chose to be here at this time
Every choice we make shapes what the world will look like in a year
I feel certain in my heart that we will be okay despite what happens in November
The exchange of people stepping up while others sit in stillness is beautiful

We are in Scorpio season, which I love! Today’s episode will touch on the shadow side of being a spiritual entrepreneur. It is based on a question I received in the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership, for a Business Q&A session.

Most of what I share about my business is the exciting parts of the journey. There are metrics to show that my business is successful, but I am also nine years into my development. In addition to the magic that happens, there are parts of it that are not so positive. I’ve been thinking a lot about the dichotomy we experience where we are thriving in one part of life, while consistently struggling in another. In this episode, I am sharing some of the challenging and painful experiences on my entrepreneurship path to give a more balanced perspective on what it has entailed.

The question asked was, “I consider you successful as a business sister. You speak and do a lot of things that are very generous, and I know deeply you are a giving soul. How has that generosity of yourself healing sister wounds by supporting other women in their businesses impacted you? And what is the return of spiritual energy for you?”

In this episode:

I am not one to brag, but there are metrics to show that my business is successful
Things can be going so well in one area while we struggle in another
I have had magic unfolding as I acquire a physical space in Squamish
Meanwhile, I have also been slighted in the past few weeks
I’ve been told I make it look easy, but a lot happens behind the scenes that is not
I wouldn’t be able to do everything I do without my team
The reward and joy on this path is parallel to the problems we face
Like motherhood, the beauty of it is worth the hard work
Question (above) about my origin story of healing sister wounds
I share the work of students and other lightworkers with my Instagram audience
Lynn Tucknies credits me sharing her for being able to go full-time
I contract when I talk about myself in this way
I’m healing and getting better at seeing myself the way you see me
It’s not common, but I also have other mediums co-teach and interview them
I personally have never experienced the same generosity that I give other people
I’ve been ghosted when being offered opportunities for TV shows, podcasts and magazines
My intention for Spirit School was to create what I wish I had in my development
The Spirit School Collective is an ecosystem that is supportive and non-competitive
I have always had a long-term vision for my legacy
My hope is that people who thrive in my spaces recreate that in their own communities
One of my core values is reciprocity, which is lacking in this space
I have a large and engaged audience who are drawn to my open way of sharing
It has taken a lot of healing for me to work on my not enoughness
My husband pointed out that my first mentor was taking advantage of me
The pattern is that I do a lot for people and then am discarded
Now that I am in a place of influence, people take advantage and don’t reciprocate
After being on my podcast, bigger names haven’t shared it or talked to me again
Recently, a guest I had on requested for their episode to air right away
I worked hard on making the episode interesting because I knew it would be a struggle
When it came time to interview me, they provided no context and were scrolling on their phone
They cut the interview short and said they would reschedule and then didn’t respond to me
At first, I was too busy with the realtor and Spirit School for it to bother me
I later realized how rude it was and have been unpacking my experience with mutuals
I don’t feel threatened and have accepted that my audience may work with guests instead of me
What is mine will not pass me, so I do not have scarcity in this work
Spirit School is part of a vision to change the space of lightworking and mediumship
People in the membership don’t act like that, and it is not an energetic match for those who do
I feel that I am meant to be self-made without someone to help my career take off
I desire for people coming after me to have a more collaborative experience
I may never get to see the ripple effect that I have but that’s okay
The return I receive is having people ask these questions and notice the difference
I am not healed, but issues of worthiness and heartbreak have less influence over time
I’ve always had a drive to work for what I wanted despite any obstacles
Situations like this make me want to promote others and share the light more
It has been the most magical month, but there has been an equal amount of negative too
Declare that you will thrive, even in the shadow
Ignore vanity metrics and focus on the audience you have now

The Spirit School Lecture Series highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. Today’s episode was adapted from a monthly Q&A session in my free Spirit School space in September 2022. I have really enjoyed doing my live conversations in that community in place of Instagram! As I have said many times, I teach from my own experiences, and I am flexible in my beliefs. I invite you to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

This conversation covered topics such as receiving more messages in mediumship readings, open versus closed eyes, and being an indirect messenger. .

Questions and topics from this episode:

The Initiation will run again in early 2023, but not The Calling
Meditation tips for racing thoughts and busy minds
Being where you are and being fully present
Balancing parenthood and mediumship. Do you involve or share with your kids?
How to handle it if you know someone’s loved ones that come through
Treat every reading the same, although it is difficult reading for yourself
What should I try to get beyond passing, relationships, and personal information?
Bringing evidence through messages
What have you seen? What memories do you share? Who are you with?
Should we keep eyes open or closed reading for the public?
In Spiritualism, you can’t do platform demonstrations with eyes closed
I have recently been closing my eyes to channel for spirit messages
Tips for getting over the fear of seeing or experiencing something scary
We have evidence that we have done scary things and have been okay.
Confidence is on the other side of doing what you’re scared of doing
Worrying is worse than the thing you fear happening
As a spiritual entrepreneur, did spirit lead you or help you with your business?
Spirit is my agent and my algorithm
What do you do when you're receiving messages and you're not giving a reading?
I allow spirit to bring people to me if I’m meant to connect with them
People receiving random readings on TV have already signed waivers
Can you provide messages for people who are not at the sitting?
In demonstrations, you can pass along indirect healing messages
Whether you pass along messages depends on the person and their beliefs
You may lean intro trust that if it is coming through, they are meant to hear it
Do you find that the presence of your spirit guides can help you connect better with spirit?
I definitely believe that it’s part of the path for many people
Have you considered Initiation 2.0 for mediums who have done readings for years?
My Mediumship Mastermind spots are always taken up by Collective members
Is it possible to take on physical health symptoms from people that you know are sick?
This teaches energetic boundaries and you can release other people’s energy
The shadow of clairsentience is being overwhelmed and absorbing from others
The power of the mind can manifest physical symptoms
If spirit is supposedly here to help us to stay on our path, why is it difficult to communicate?
I don’t think we’re meant to know and some things will remain a mystery

This episode is based on a philosophy that I received from Spirit a couple rounds ago in The Initiation. I remember the world of Spirit coming through so strong and saying, “You need to remind them that we respond to their declarations.” So much of this work is about declarations, and it was an impactful message to deliver.

This kind of inspired speaking feels so much more powerful than a mediumship link to me. There's just something about my spirit waking up when I speak about certain things, even in classes and mentorship sessions. The physical sensations and the emotional sensations that I get to experience every time I teach or record a podcast are so beautiful that I hope everyone in their lives gets to experience it at some point.

I can definitely feel my spirit lifting and raising and expanding every time I speak something that I feel like my soul and my spirit really needs to speak. I believe that sometimes it is a combination of my spirit helpers on the other side inspiring me. In this episode, I share some recent experiences that demonstrate these philosophies.

In this episode:

I used to use all types of modalities and look for signs that I am meant to do this work
There is nothing in my life that makes me feel this way
I didn’t feel it until I was 31 and I know many people never do
It happens more consistently as you continue on your journey and let down your walls
Most of my conversations with Skylar are one way, and occasionally I am gifted a response
I was overwhelmed when he said that I choose, and that Spirit will adjust accordingly
I could have served in corporate because we need lightworkers in all areas of society
One of my students makes digital collages with AI and says AI needs our light
I’m tired of waiting for drastic things to happen before policies are created
I decided in December 2019 to incorporate my business and left my job in February
During that time was the first time no one was booking readings
I remember telling the world of spirit with such conviction, I'm doing it anyways
As soon as I left, I was booked out and had people asking for online mentorship
You may sometimes lean back too much or give too much power away
In times that I was too depleted to use clairsentience and asked for clairaudience
I still prefer clairsentience because it is tangible and evidential for me
I asked for specific dates when I was feeling my deficits and got one in a reading
I learn from you and build my confidence when you share similar experiences
I understand that there are communities that want to keep their knowledge sacred
While being mindful of that, I hope my way of sharing makes people feel seen
A couple weeks ago, I had a rare moment where I felt successful
I realized all that I’ve created from the side of my bed
I was told by my therapist and mentor that I should socialize more
I started thinking in that feeling of success that an office would be good for me
I first had a vision in 2017 of having a space on the waterfront in Squamish
It wasn’t built up yet and the 20 year plan made it seem impossible
Most of my profit goes to client experience and I thought it was out of my budget
I found out that some retail spaces are less than my mastermind payment
The realtor dismissed me and a friend connected me with another one through Instagram
I said to spirit, I trust that if it’s meant to happen, it will happen easily for me
Within an hour, she messaged me with a time to see the space the next day
It hasn’t been listed and is more than my mastermind, but I know it’s my space
My mentor Mavis Pittilla loved to teach spiritual philosophy, my favourite part of development
Before her passing, I called in her mentor Gordon Higginson as an inspirer for teaching
I asked for Mavis to inspire me for the class and it was one of my favourites
In bed, my daughter said, I know what happens in the seventh level of heaven. You reincarnate.
When I thought of the magic of today, I was overwhelmed with joy and support
I recorded a lecture of Mavis in 2015 where she talked about the 7 levels of heaven
I feel that these mediums from the past do listen and support me
Trust that whatever you are ready for will come to you
If you aren’t seeing results, you may need more experience

October 2022 Spirit Messages September has been a big month for Spirit School! We are two weeks into The Initiation, which was my biggest launch so far. In the Spirit School Collective, my trauma informed business coach joined us to have conversations around holding space for grief and managing our energy as lightworkers. We also restructured to allow weekly classes with me to combine teachings, practice and Q+A sessions. They have been very expansive and a reflection of the month of creation I had in September.

I have officially launched the application for my first retreat in the Spirit School Collective! It will be in the forest of British Columbia and there are 32 spots available. If there are spots left after my membership has the opportunity to apply, I will open it up to the waitlist. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet some Spirit School people in person and to have amazing experiences together!

I am also currently seeking a brick and mortar space for Spirit School for a space to work and to also make my dream of having an ethically sourced line of merchandise that I can store and source myself! Spirit School is coming alive and I share these parts of the journey because you have been with me on this journey. Once we step on the development path, we are on a healing path as well, so it’s important to me to share all aspects of the evolution. I feel that I offer an energetic space for people to have their own spiritual experiences, and I strongly believe that Spirit School will be a physical school by spring next year!

In this episode:

When one area of life is going well, another is struggling
Where we need development in mediumship often reflects our personal life
The development path and our human and healing journey are parallel
If you have trouble surrendering to spirit, where in your life do you need to release control?
When you heal your human, you will see the results in your readings
Being out of balance supports our evolution and growth
We don’t look at ourselves as deeply when things are in balance
It is not in everyone’s dharma to be conscious of their spiritual evolution
I teach the zoom out approach in mediumship to see who is giving psychic information
For personal development or conflict, ask to see from the lens of spirit
Sometimes imbalances bring our attention to another neglected area
It’s okay if you feel more pulled to your human than spirituality in this season
In October, we will be pulled to see where we need to focus in the winter
Release judgment because it’s harmful to think everything must be smooth
Alignment has never been an indicator of spiritual evolution
Shifting our interests allows us to be more whole as humans and practitioners
We may go through the whole wheel every year
I want us to stop seeing ourselves in a deficit
Inner narratives will come up to bring epiphanies
The busyness of the mind may be seen as a superpower rather than a detriment
A clear and quiet mind is not accessible to everyone
The people whose teachings we are following did not have social media and smartphones
We are meant to evolve into the next iteration of spiritual beings
There will be new teachers and philosophies, so we need to make space
We are in a time of free will and change in our societies and structures
What are you going to release to bring in new energy?
We can clearly see the mistakes of past generations and decide what’s next
Being able to choose for ourselves is wealth, and a privilege
Think about your choices as contributing to collective wealth
Choose what benefits the greater good, even at the discomfort of us now
It’s time to shift out of individualism out to family, community, to globally
We can stop carrying the past like a badge of honour, starting with our thoughts
The only way to the new life we desire is making the decision to change
Stop buying into societal norms that make you feel you are in a deficit
Go back to traditional teachings that we are always whole and evolving
There’s no going back now and the steps only go up from here
Meditate with the word sovereignty to get your own understanding of it
It’s a time of great knowing and we have been taught not to trust ourselves
We used to trust ourselves and support our communities
Knowing is the purest form of communication with the divine
In spirit communication, it all comes through knowing and filters through the clairs
We have been slowly taught through generations to not trust ourselves
Now we are at the bottom and are building a new foundation on the way up
I always appreciate hearing how these messages align with other people’s forecasts

Lecture Series: Consistency & Values IGTV The Spirit School Lecture Series highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. Today’s episode is about consistency, values and recognizing the contraction before expansion in my business. This conversation was originally an Instagram Live video. Instead of doing these on Instagram, I will be going live in my free Spirit School community to answer questions live going forward! .

In this episode:

This has been the hardest year of my life, and it has changed me
I don’t think you can only grow through difficult times but going through them is powerful
I work in seasons and my business structure reflects that
I have never been consistent, even with devotional practices like sitting in the power
Give yourself space and allow consistency to come and go in the seasons of your life
My public mediumship demonstration gave me some clarity on what type of medium I am
I always experience contraction before expansion in my business
The beauty of contrast is a concept that resonated with me from Esther Hicks
I can feel joy in the contracting times because I know the pattern
Nothing in nature blooms all year
Trying to be everything to everyone disrupts the natural rhythms
Some of us learn best through hardship
The astrology for this fall is pointing to some challenging energy
Not everyone will have the same experience in astrological shifts
@emilyandherstars shares the positive and challenging days in her monthly newsletter
I moved through fear to do my first online mediumship demonstration
We all have free will and our personal values dictate our actions
Our actions matter and contribute to the collective
My retreat in April 2023 will have a focus on finding your authentic voice
It will be spacious to allow rest after these past three years
My dream is to have a house on a lake, and the retreat will offer that experience

Finding Your Purpose with Angels featuring Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium TW: Suicidal ideations, PMDD. Experiences with medication are not provided as medical advice.

I've wanted to talk to today’s guest, Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium,for a long time. I found her podcast quite a few years ago when angels started coming into my awareness for the first time, in my thirties. I came across her podcast, the Angels and Awakening Podcast, and I loved it! It was so refreshing to hear stories of angel encounters that made me feel really seen.

What brought us together for this interview was an episode of her podcast where I learned that she also has PMDD. Hearing her speak openly about it was what inspired me to finally reach out. In this conversation, we talked about our experiences of this condition, in addition to angels, spiritual evolution, and finding your unique purpose!

In this episode:

Julie receives messages from your angels, guides and loved ones in your energy field
She discovered this through an energy healing program
Angels play important roles in our lives but a lot of us don’t tune into them
From a religious perspective, angels are God's energy in a different form, just like our souls
Each angel was created for a role to help humanity in different aspects of life
Julie’s intention is helping other people lift the weight of their lives with angels
Knowing why our soul is here tells us a lot about what we're here to do, create, and be
I was comforted seeing that angels are for everyone of all religions
It’s a big energetic leap to angel energy and it can be overwhelming
Julie’s book teaches you how to get to that high vibrational frequency
The vibration of God, our souls and angels is oneness energy, or unconditional love
Until recently, you were expected to stay in one lane (spiritual modality)
There are prominent teachers causing harm and discouraging people
Energy is the vibrational language of the universe
We have all of the clairs and they come through tuning into energy and oneness
People discover their unique gifts in different modalities through Angel Reiki
The angels said we need to bridge spiritual modalities and human vocations
Do what your soul is calling you to, not the labels or boxes placed on you
Receiving messages along with energy healing activates the mind and physical body
Spiritual awakening shifts your consciousness from your mind to an observer of your thoughts
We need to look at the big picture for consciousness to evolve
Intuitive sessions now are leading people to their spiritual awakening
Focus on people who resonate with your heart instead of judgemental people
I left TikTok because being aware of the world made me lose sight of the mission we’re on
Julie sees that we are just part of a collective shift that will continue for generations
Perfectionism in this work comes from a place of caring for others
Share your abilities and the work you’re doing when you’re ready
When I am on my PMDD hell week, I avoid interactions as much as possible
Her mother had hormonal mood swings that caused turmoil and Julie has PMDD
Julie discovered that she is treatment resistant and medication causes suicidal thoughts
Finding the right combination of hormones and supplements has been a life changer
Happy people like us having suicidal ideations demonstrates how serious it is
Julie’s gynecologist suggested removing all womanly parts as a solution
There’s only one “hallelujah” week in a 28-day PMDD cycle
Healers seem to go through more than the general population
Waiting until you know everything to share will distance you from people starting out
Deep sorrow and hell weeks make you appreciate the good ones more

TW: Sexual assault, traumatic birth experience

I have been wanting to share one of my personal healers, Lynn Tucknies of Inner Hero Healing, with you for a long time. I was referred to Lynn through a friend and had sessions for 10 months. I will be resuming weekly sessions and having Lynn work with my son again too! We were waiting until she went full-time into her healing career to do this interview, and the time has come! Since teaching a class on the Emotion Code in the Spirit School Collective, many of my students have had amazing experiences working with Lynn. I am so happy to share her with you through the podcast!

In this episode:

TW: Sexual assault, traumatic birth experiences shared in episode
Dr. Nelson tracked the emotions of patients and where the pain was on the body
Emotions can get trapped and cause emotional and physical discomfort in the body
In the Emotion Code, these are found through muscle testing and cleared
The Body Code takes into account other facets such as the emotional and spirit body
We all have trapped emotions that we are not consciously aware of
Lynn knew there was something deeper when she was doing personal development work
She was intrigued when a friend introduced her to the Emotion Code
Trapped emotions can be inherited from past generations
The evidence is given by determining the age each emotion was trapped
Sessions helped me clear patterns around stage fright and fear of judgement
The change is subtle and the impact can be seen in hindsight
Lynn says it creates your new normal and your prior existence becomes obsolete
The subconscious mind protects you, and this is where emotions are trapped
Nothing's going to come up that is not ready to be released
After it is cleared, you can look back at an event without the negative emotions
Lynn stays joyful knowing the impact on the other side of the pain
Just by having people talk, Lynn can gather information to direct the session
Lynn has healthy boundaries knowing it’s not her energy
Firing my coach led to a feeling of not wanting to be seen that needed to be cleared
Lynn explains that a curse can be as simple as that person thinking something negative
Sessions with Lynn are an act of self care and energetic boundaries for me
She describes entities as negative energies that lower our vibration
Lynn uses her intuition and is moving toward her own intuitive modality or session
She blocked her intuition when she was young because of a frightening experience
This work has helped her become comfortable with her gifts
Her practice began to grow and she became more uncomfortable in her day job
After setting a goal for leaving, Lynn was offered an early retirement package
Corporate jobs give the illusion of safety but you create your own job
The Belief Code is coming and Lynn focuses a lot on mindset coaching
There are a lot of people holding onto worthless and unworthy
Lynn believes the modality can work on those who are neurodivergent
She has also seen dramatic results with kids, including my son
Being open-minded is what makes a good candidate for the Emotion Code

I always start the spirit messages with the intention that the spirit world knows who will be tuning in and that I bring at least a phrase or message that resonates with each of those people. For September, the first word that came through was clarity. This ended up being a common thread throughout the whole episode. Themes of identity, awareness and connection will be strong for this month, but it all relies on us finding clarity in what we need to change, and what we desire for the rest of 2022.

There are lots of exciting things happening in Spirit School in September! The Initiation, my 8 Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, starts on the 14th. To support the different ways adults learn, The Initiation includes self study, live classes, a community, and practice sessions!

In the Spirit School Collective, we will be focusing on grief. Penny, one of my students, will be talking about end-of-life doula work and sharing about her practice. Alyssa Pressman, a certified grief counselor, will talk about holding space for grief. There will be time to explore case studies in this session as I feel it is important to understand how to implement this if we are working with the public in this vulnerable work.I will also be starting our new schedule with my Friday classes which will begin with a guided visualization, followed by practice exercises or Q&A sessions. These will offer a variety of experiences and I am excited for the new format!

As always, our free Spirit School community is open and active, offering a space for you to connect with like-minded people in a supportive environment. I look forward to connecting with you! .

In this episode:

My intention is for the world of spirit bring through messages for those who are drawn to listen
The first insight is gaining clarity in September on how we spend our days
We were blessed after the past few years to be busy following the next passion this summer
September will be a time to slow down and find clarity on how to finish the year
Clarity is not always easy and may include experiencing what we don’t like
Through some turmoil, we may find we have been settling in some areas of life
It’s more about clarity on what we desire than making future plans
You may even feel the desire to move if where you are doesn’t resonate
The Third Eye card echoes getting clarity on changes for the rest of the year
Tune into how you feel and familiar patterns that you desire to change
What were the circumstances the last time you felt how you desire to feel now?
Lack of clarity may actually be clarity in itself
The world and spirit are talking to you in every interaction, no matter how mundane
For spiritual evolution, it is the uncomfortable situations that bring the most growth
Reframe these as experiences gifted to us to find clarity
September can be a new year when kids go back to school and new routines are created
You can get clear on what brings you joy if you pay attention to the mundane
Awareness is the second word for September
Spirit is not asking us to take action, but to take stock of our desires
There won’t be time to find clarity during the last 3 months of 2022
We need to release the things we feel chained to out of devotion, especially work
We are uncovering a deeper, holistic sense of identity outside of how we make money
Some of this clarity will be around how we identify ourselves in the world
There is an imbalance of overgiving in our lives
Find clarity on what receiving is for you, whether that is quiet time or social time
Social time may seem more taxing, but gathering in equal exchange is fulfilling
Being forced online for so long has made us lose the depth of humanity in people
The way people present themselves is not always their truest sense
The world could use a lot more compassion, which comes from deep connection
We need to release the story that connecting creates a deficit for us
Fitting in is an illusion since we are each so vastly different
Look for places you feel expanded and like yourself
Document the clarity and joy you receive with pen and paper for when you forget
We think experiences are not worth documenting if they aren’t for social media
We used to fill journal pages with our stories before technology
Even the mundane can be read with fondness later
It's time to start living our lives for ourselves once more
We can be powerful in many different areas of our lives
When we get clear on our identity, deep harmonious friendships come in
Connecting to people may be more of a driving force than abundance
If you feel uncomfortable with the slowness of September, look at that

Embracing Your Full Self with Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant I am so excited to share Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant, with you today! I have been a long-time follower and fan of their memes. However, after having a “Clear Expressive Blocks” session, I knew I had to have them on Spirit School!

In this episode, we talk about embracing your authentic self, and different forms of expression. Christian is an artist and writer in addition to being an intuitive. Tactile art mediums like textiles, photography and sculpture have influenced their work. Memes are a way of incorporating poetry and art to remix existing content.

“When we gain the words of description, we also gain access to expression.” - Christian Bradley West

In this episode:

Grief is a form of longing for something, whether it’s a person or a potential future
Even with end-of-life doula training couldn’t prepare Danielle for experiencing grief
Fear, shame and grief are the source of most negative emotions
Having language that resonates for emotions and experiences is validating
Christian shares that the term non-binary fit and being trans is part of that identity
We are emotive beings, yet we learn to suppress instead of explore our emotions
The vocabulary comes from curiosity, and we gain access to expression.
Danielle says it’s her responsibility as a lightworker to educate herself on the spectrum of emotions
Vibes, and positive vibes only, cannot be weaponized against negativity
We have a complex language system as humans and should use it
Communication is key to relationships, so just vibing doesn’t work
Sometimes we need to feel it before we get the language for it
Words are vital but if they're disconnected from emotion, they're just thoughts
As intuitives, sometimes the trickiest part of connecting is expressing through emotion and thought
Emotional intelligence was not talked about, so there are layers of deconditioning to go through
Christian began writing, and found a balance of intuition and intellect in their thirties
Their art showed a struggle with communicating who they were and what they wanted
Christian had trauma from being called too much and not having a filter
As a teen, they found essential oils and metaphysical modalities through a family friend
They moved away from Christianity when those values clashed with holding a non-binary identity
Christian is self taught in art and it was something to do quietly alone and to stay present
Christian was drawn to fashion trends a couple years before they were trends
As an earth sign, being able to touch things is important to their art practice
A science degree and psychology classes also influence the action steps for clients in sessions
You have to look at all the pieces of yourself and explore them
The intuitive sessions are an opportunity to see what humans are struggling with
People want to see the process, so “show your work”
Even Buddha and Christ went through struggles in their humanity
Danielle and Christian also want to change the bypassing of humanity within spiritual spaces
Children aren’t born with fear, so they rely on parents for perspective and a safe environment
Violence is part of the human experience, and we want to survive
Shadow is about being integrated and loving the whole
We all have impulses and physical needs, but sex is not as acceptable
You can choose monogamy and the intimacy that that offers
Christian believes in living on purpose in your choices
Danielle says that people may not see this depth in the memes on Christian’s account
Christian is good at remixing pieces together and chose to have a meme account
When you find your voice, people recognize and resonate with your work
Memes can walk the line between the sacred and the profane
A lot of spiritual labour goes into creating original content
Christian refers to the high tide raising all boats and supporting one another
If you're stealing just for stealing and you're not making your own, that's an issue
Scottish culture was stolen by Britain during the Highland Clearances in the 1800s
A trend like that would last 30 years at that time compared to memes today
There is violence behind stealing from others without acknowledgement
Christian is willing to be self-reflective and have conversations about appropriation
Danielle says that accountability is the change we are striving for
Christian is okay with triggering people if others feel unsafe, but not without reason
Danielle’s favourite meme is “I became my full, authentic self when I realized I was cringe.”
Christian has trauma from being silly and being called names when people were uncomfortable
The process of making great art is messy
Early abstract painters weren’t understood in their time and started with copying the masters
We start out in life with what is right, then we deconstruct and it gets messy
Danielle really feels that Christian embodies their term “spirit guide in a meat suit”
Christian offers relationship readings and feels that we can make them more conscious
All life is about duality and experiencing relationships

I felt that creating space for development would be a fun topic to cover on the podcast. In my free Spirit School community, I posted the question, “For those that are focusing on development while parenting children and/or in full-time careers, what do you do to carve out time and space to commit to your development?” The responses were overwhelming. Over 40 people shared their experiences and advice. I love how engaged this community is already after 6 weeks!

Of course, like any other topic, I will share my own experiences with carving out time for development in this episode. If you would like to get in on the conversation, you are welcome to join the community! If you are interested in making time for mediumship development, registration is now open for The Initiation, my Mediumship Foundations Experience!

We have 8 billion people on this planet and every single one of them can benefit from mediumship, because every single person on this planet will lose someone someday. Mediumship is just one of those things that is for everybody, and everyone resonates with very different things.So, the world of spirit needs us all to be very different. I need you to be okay with how your soul is calling you to develop. And whether you get an hour a day or a minute a day, it will all unfold as it should. And you will end up exactly where you are meant to be. It's all just about what stories you have to share when you get there.

In this episode:

I was blessed to have a year on maternity leave when I began my development
My husband has not always been supportive because he doesn’t understand this path
My first teacher didn’t talk about Sitting in the Power and I didn’t develop through Spiritualism
I would sit with spirit every day for 30 minutes on my bed while my daughter napped
I have a busy mind, so the dedicated practices that are taught in mediumship didn’t work for me
I would often ask my guide Skylar to show me signs of his presence
Sometimes I would ask for things to be validated tomorrow and my accuracy improved over time
My teacher was clairvoyant, so I was really trying to develop my own clairvoyance
A friend once validated that a Spirit named Eddie I connected with was her missing uncle
My relationship with my husband shifted because I started needing more alone time
I have stopped expecting him to take an interest in personal development
It was easy to stick to the 30 minutes with spirit because I had such profound experiences
My mediumship development was limited to 5 hours a month with my teacher
I wish I had been vulnerable to develop in the public eye like some of my peers
I expected a stronger connection during my second pregnancy, but was very sick
I had a near death experience in the ICU and doctors couldn’t agree on the cause
I didn’t keep my consistent practice, but still attended retreats
When I had my son, my life changed and I opened my practice to the public
The only spiritual practice I remember at that time was talking to my guides
Showing up on social media started my personal development around being seen
My development was immersing myself in spiritual content and doing readings
I had one development Saturday and one day to rent a studio for readings a month
A solution for the friction in my marriage was giving my husband time for his own hobby
I went full-time in March 2020 with in-person clients booked and was in lockdown with my kids
Out of 50 clients, only 2 asked for a refund for their sessions and I started online readings
Online influencers talked about consistent routines that were not accessible to me at all
You will always be healing and evolving, but you are whole as you are right now
How you choose to dedicate the time you have to development is enough
The pandemic and working from home has given people more space to fit in development
I consider everything I do in my business and online presence to be my spiritual development
I still carve out time to sit and ask how I desire to connect with myself in this moment
I want to be a teacher that shows you can thrive doing things differently

Tips from Spirit School members:

Developing after kids go to bed, or nap time
Blocking time into your calendar or schedule
Including children in spiritual practices
If you wake up often in the night, meditate in that brain state
Ask your partner to give you time in the evening to connect
Take a few minutes here and there to connect or meditate
Turning your career into spiritual development
I'm okay that I can't be consistent, and I know that spirit doesn't judge me

For this episode, I will be talking about myths around mediumship. I wanted to premise this by saying that most of the myths actually came from my Instagram audience. Two weeks ago, I posted the question, "What are some of the myths around mediumship that maybe you once believed, or you still believe, that you just don't feel 100% sure about?" in my stories.

Our experiences and the things we hear formulate our beliefs, but ultimately our beliefs are our choice. I first encountered mediumship by watching Sylvia Brown and John Edwards on TV at the age of 14. I read all of Sylvia Brown’s books in high school and I believed everything she wrote to be the truth without questioning it. There were things I read that scared me, but I wasn’t discerning and I realized through my own development that a lot of it simply wasn’t true.

I am not the holder of the ultimate truth about mediumship either, so I can only share from my lived experience. You may have a physical sensation or knowing when something feels like truth for you. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that I say to be flexible in your beliefs because they will likely shift as you experience more on your path.

This week is the Sitting in the Power (of You!) Challenge in the free Spirit School space and you are welcome to join us!

In this episode:

- It is hard for people to see the harm that can be caused if they wouldn’t be offended
Q: You shouldn’t do readings until 6 months after someone passes
- Spirit’s ability to communicate and the sitter’s grief are reasons given for why
- That became less true as my confidence grew and I connected with people who recently passed
- Unclear communication may actually be evidence of their communication in life
- The quality of a reading is based on the three way link of spirit, the reader and the sitter
- It will be a struggle if the sitter is skeptical and not an open channel for the link
- Be open because there are multiple truths that can coexist in harmony at the same time
Q: A common phrase is that all mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums
- We tend to believe things blindly until we exposed other philosophies and experiences
- I don’t believe that our Creator chooses who has abilities and who doesn’t
- Q: Does everyone have the gift of mediumship? Yes!
- I believe we are all born with gifts but not everyone develops these abilities
- The fact that mediumship is even in your awareness is a sign from your soul
- I didn’t jump on the path the first few times it was brought to my awareness
- Skeptical people like my husband could develop but that doesn’t mean they will
- Q: Can you turn your abilities on and off?
- Yes, and there have only been a few times in 9 years that spirit has been pushy
- I have a lot of boundaries but there are people who are constantly surrounded by spirit
- There is permission granted, so I question what the motive is other than being showy
Q: Thoughts on psychic residue versus haunted location
- Though I was a paranormal investigator, I am undecided on my beliefs about earthbound spirits
- We validated evidence the medium received, but we didn’t get any paranormal evidence
- I’ve been able to feel the energy of a place, like the previous owner of a home who had passed
- It wasn’t her stuck there because it was an intelligent, two-way conversation
- Aboriginal Medium Sean Leonard, who I highly regard, has EVP evidence and I trust him
Q: My dad believes it's just tricks from the devil
- Ask how you feel about a belief and if it improves your quality of life.
- We can’t change someone’s beliefs for them
Q: I don’t anymore, but i always believed that mediums identified as spiritual
- There is a spectrum of how much of a priority it is and there is a client for everyone
Q: You need to study, practice for years to actually connect with spirit, unless born with it
- I believed that you have to pay your dues
- The time it took for me to step into the public had nothing to do with my connection to the divine
- A large part of our development is healing our human and building confidence
Q: I don't have a loved one I'm trying to connect with so mediumship isn't for me.
There is always someone we can connect to from our lineage
Mediumship is evidential by nature, and can be difficult if the sitter can’t validate
We can bring through what is current in their life, though this could come through psychic too
The need in mediumship is part of the magic of the three way link (Spirit, sitter, reader)
Registration for The Initiation opens August 13 if you are curious and interested in developing

Before diving into the August Spirit Messages, I wanted to share a few things that are coming up. August is a big month for Spirit School! I am doing another week-long challenge in my free Spirit School community that will be focused on the mediumship development technique called sitting in the power. I believe that it will benefit anyone on their spiritual or personal development path. This 5-day challenge will take place from August 8-12 with a live teaching and experience each day!

I will also be opening the registration for The Initiation, my Mediumship Development Experience, on August 13th. This program is a combination of live classes, self-study, and practice readings within the community. I don’t do early bird pricing, but I will be providing a discount to the Spirit School Collective, the Initiation waitlist, and participants of the Sitting in the Power challenge!

I can’t believe that we are celebrating TWO years of the Spirit School Collective as of August 1st! This is huge and I feel like it’s just getting started. We will be having The Medicine Lodge, an experience where a few members of the collective put their name forward to demonstrate their gifts for the community. It is a powerful experience that allows us to witness one another. For example, the Reiki practitioners of the Collective will be coming together in this event to offer a group healing!.I will also be teaching a mediumship development class in the Spirit School Collective that will focus on a different area than the other programs, as always!

Finally, I am doing my first public online mediumship demonstration on Tuesday, August 9th! I’ve done them in my mastermind and in the Collective, and now you can join me as well! There should be tickets for the event available, and you may be able to snag one of the last 1:1 mediumship readings left for August. The links for everything I’ve mentioned are below!

For the August Spirit Messages, the phrase spirit has been bringing me is, “It’s time to look up friends.” We have been looking down for so long to survive, but it’s time to start seeing the beauty around us. Darkness has had its time, but it’s time to bring back the light. If you focus on nothing else other than how you perceive the world around you, from the space and lens of the soul space and heart, that is enough. I wish you the absolute most divine, most harmonious month ahead.

In this episode:

The phrase that spirit has been bringing to me is, “It’s time to look up friends”
We have been looking down to manage our energy and survive
It’s time to look to the skies and the animal kingdom, especially the perspective of birds
Spirit is reminding me that hawks were significant in my early development
Instead of taking the role of protectors, what can we learn from other living beings?
We cannot control what has been done, only what in our scope moving forward
One person at a time, we can connect with the animal kingdom and trees to bring harmony back
It’s time to look to the sky, dream bigger and make new commitments to all living beings
We are aware of the problems that persist, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming
The world of spirit is asking us to look beyond, to the beauty and joy that surround us
August is a month to expand our circles and learn to uplift ourselves through darker vibrations
Beyond what we can see with our eyes is what we can see with our heart
Light will win every time, but it is a journey of rediscovering our true essence
Our humanity and spirit bodies can be expressed in balance and harmony
Go inward and see the world with the inner lens of love and joy instead of looking externally
The mind can appear so powerful, but is not as powerful as the heart space
It’s been easy to focus on what’s going wrong but the time to shift is now
The world needs our light now more than ever before
Our happiness will increase in August as we learn to tap into this space
Like a retrograde, we’re doing the work in the shadow period to go direct with new energy
You may hear spirit telling you to look up when you are out, and realize you’re looking down
Spirit wants us to realize our insignificance, as we are not the wisest beings on earth
The wisdom that will come through you in nature will get you excited about life again
We are taking our lives back and choosing what comes next for us, not waiting anymore
The darkness had its time and it’s time to bring the light back
We are easily influenced by our surroundings
By tuning into the highest part of ourselves, we also connect with spirits around us

Fear of Success When I first heard this phrase, Fear of Success, it was a lightbulb moment for me. A lot of what you hear today is my personal lived experience because I teach through experiential storytelling. I find that those who are drawn to listen to specific episodes will hear something through my experiences that really resonates and lands. Hopefully, that will spark and ignite change in your lives. That's why I do what I do.

Fear has ruled my life for so long. I'm going to be 40 years old next month, and I feel like I'm still coming into my adulthood. A lot of people probably feel the same. It's the cusp between who you were, and who you are to become. It feels like destiny territory!

In this episode:

Innovation requires you to try new things and fail, so it is not a bad thing
I do have a fear of success, which is imposter syndrome or success anxiety
We stay small because of the unknowns on the other side of success
My fear of success is rooted in seeing people misuse influence and power
I want to reclaim the word power to a feminine and expansive term
We avoid expansion and miss or turn away opportunities for visibility
I deflect and devalue my magnificence when I receive a compliment
I feel like I’ve outgrown the kids’ table but am too small for the adult table
My assistant Danielle felt my podcast sponsor pitch was more fangirl than CEO to CEO
In other parts of the world, what you do for work is not asked like in North America
Being a medium with an online school and a podcaster attracts a lot of attention
I’ve lost two great friends because of how my success made them feel
This has given me evidence that this path is even lonelier than before the success
Shame, perfectionism and procrastination prevent people from the vulnerability of trying
Rejection stopped hurting when I started asking myself what I wanted to talk about
There is no one with influence in the wellness space using their power how I would
@malibumedium texted me a message that I won’t misuse power in this lifetime
Some of the things we walk through in this lifetime are from past lives
I had a wound around criticism, especially when I was feeling good about myself
When you reach a goal, you question if you can sustain that level of success
Create your own evidence that success is something safe and self-claimed
The happiest people in the world live with the least material things
Self sabotage keeps me from holding onto the feeling of success for long
It is foreign and uncomfortable for people with chaotic childhoods and trauma
I had to create micro moments of joy and love to acclimate to angel energy
Get clear on what success looks, sounds, and feels like to you individually
We are chasing a mirage of success that doesn’t have an identity
Celebrating success when it comes in is part of the healing journey
I asked spirit if it was okay to be so proud of myself for launching the new platform
Celebration is at the vibration of gratitude and abundance
Healing doesn’t happen overnight and we need awareness around it first
Try this mindset shift: What if it all turns out amazing?

Today’s topic is a continuation of the discussion about rest from the July Spirit Messages. I felt like I needed to do a brief introduction today for my new Spirit School listeners! I'm Danielle Searancke, also known as the Squamish Medium. I am a Swampy Cree First Nations Indigenous woman, living in the Cosalish mountain towns of Squamish, British Columbia with my two kids and my incredibly skeptical and supportive husband.

I have been developing in mediumship since 2013 and went public with my practice in 2017. I launched and initiated Spirit School, which is this podcast, an online school, and now a community, in 2018. I went full-time into my practice three weeks before the pandemic, in 2020. I didn't realize until about four years into my development how lonely I felt on my development path. So, that was why I started Spirit School, the podcast. It's still my intention to be raw, real, and authentic with you, as you witness me grow into an entrepreneur and an international medium through the time capsule of this podcast.

Until last week, my paid membership was the only way to be in community with me. I know that free Facebook groups bring people to your paid offerings, but they never sat right with me. Last year, my students started asking for a community away from Facebook, and it felt like it was time. My team and I have spent over 100 hours building a platform off of social media.

I have more people listening to the podcast than on my social media platforms, so the new platform includes a free space for me to finally connect with my Spirit School listeners! We just completed a 5-Day live Spirit Guide Challenge last week to strengthen our connection to our guides. You can access the replays when you join using the links below!

In this episode:

I often receive more clarity when I stop recording and integrate the spirit messages
Spirit really wants me to talk to my listeners about taking a break
In my development and career, my health has forced me into times of rest
It is scary taking time off and returning to public work
You may fear losing momentum, going backwards or forgetting what to do
We often start with practice readings before we feel confident to get back to paid readings
Build unconditional power from within instead of relying on external validation
Confidence is on the other side of taking the action
Allowing space for integration propels my development more than continuous workshops
Human experiences propel you in ways that spiritual development can’t
I’ve taken a break from paid readings and more details come through in demonstrations
I have been building the foundation for Spirit School and not doing any intentional development
I’m ready to start doing online and in person demonstrations now
Without any inquiries or talking about them, my readings for July sold out after 7 months off
I’m confident going into these sessions knowing I’ve given myself time to rest
Deeper development happens in times of rest than forcing myself to stay in the craft
Every time you bring yourself back to this work after a human experience is an initiation
Ride the flows and honour the ebbs by sinking back into slowness and space
When we overstimulate ourselves, we only absorb a small percentage of what we consume
Check out Shawn Ginwright and his social justice work, including his insights on rest as privilege
In our western society, we are kept busy in hustle culture so we don’t think for ourselves
Community is central to our happiness but our societal structure doesn’t support it
Rest and peace are the greatest resistance to fight against the current structure
Can you reserve the last hour of your day for rest and being a visionary?
We carry the need to keep moving over to our spiritual development
I have taken four huge times of rest and I’ve only seen an incline in my career
See rest as what we need to receive inspirations for where to go next as a collective
For the first time, I feel that we will see big societal change in my lifetime
We need people in the middle ground, not the extreme, to envision our collective future
How do we create a way of being that allows space for constant visioning?
I acknowledge the privilege and financial freedom I have to be that visionary
If a lot of us create privilege by resting for the last hour of the day, we can show resistance
We need people in the opposite energy using their anger and their voices too

July 2022 Spirit Messages Thank you for the positive feedback from the June Spirit Messages. I was very vulnerable and transparent with you that I was in the midst of my PMDD and it ended up being a very powerful channeling session because I had no choice but to get out of my own way. I am in a very similar position this month, so this is another experiment.

I woke up with the feeling of PMDD which includes sporadic crying, anger inside, racing thoughts and not being able to express cohesive thoughts. I almost moved my spirit guide class in the Spirit School Collective to the weekend because it is hard for me to show up in this raw state, but I learned last month that there is power in showing up this way. My guides and closest friends also insisted that I go through with it, so I knew there was a need for me to be in that space. When I surrendered to spirit for the June Spirit Messages, they resonated more than ever and I will be doing the same today.

You are invited to participate in my upcoming 5-day Spirit Guide Challenge week July 4-8 in my new Spirit School community! This is a free space for podcast listeners and students to have conversations and connect. I will be going live daily at 10:00am PST to teach, guide you through a visualization, and provide homework to strengthen your connection to your spirit guides.

In this episode:

Spirit reminded me of the message from June to learn to sit with discomfort
Action and change come if we allow the discomfort to motivate us away from complacency
The decision in the US impacts all women and people who want to see more feminine leadership
This threatens people who have power and they will make decisions to set us back
I saw spiritual influencers sharing harmful content that was spiritually bypassing and light washing
It enraged me to the point of speaking up and sharing a post that could be polarizing on Instagram
Escapism often happens when you want to keep rising above reality to higher consciousness
We are all worthy of serving spirit in ways we feel passionate about and having a divine connection
We chose to have an embodied human experience in this time and space
The body keeps score when you bypass uncomfortable emotions and it catches up with you
Anger, emotion and drive that will drive change that we want to see for those to come
When I asked spirit about raising consciousness, they showed me how petting animals expands us
Every time we channel, heal or have spiritual conversations, it raises our consciousness
The compound effect of these actions is making great strides individually and collectively
It is negligent to bypass what is happening to our fellow humankind as future generations come
A big part of the July message is to see where you may be bypassing or skipping steps
There are many who cannot carry this, but the rest of us will carry the load
Focus on what is in front of you to manage your energy as there is a while to go in this energy
Be discerning of what content you consume and pay attention to what makes you contract
There are people claiming to know the truth but multiple truths can coexist
Clarity and our own truths will come from within first while seeking externally can cause a spiral
We are on the precipice of incredible change to our societal structures
I am feeling for the first time that this could take place in our lifetime
One of my guides is saying that even in times of hostility, peace is always the way out
Create systems and space in your life to slow down and prioritize self-care as a necessity
All of us taking moments of stillness at the same time will create a moment of great change
There are people who oppose this change and want us to be so busy we lose ourselves
Our weapon of choice will be peace and it must start from within each of us individually
There will be a ripple effect as more people start doing this
Honouring our humanity supports the evolution on the other side
A lot of people will have passion ignited from this rage and emotion and step into their purpose
Our guides, loved ones and angels are closer than ever and are celebrating us from the other side
It wasn’t an easy decision to come here at this time, but you chose to be here

Planning to go all in on your Spiritual Business: Part 2 This episode is part two of my recent episode Planning to Go All In on Your Spiritual Business. In that episode, I offered tips based on what I would or wouldn’t do again in my transition to a full-time spiritual business.That episode was very popular, and I wanted to share some additional things that I wish I had said.

This path is more safe and secure than any job I’ve had working for another company. I mention a manifestation tool in this episode that I used to visualize my dream schedule as an entrepreneur when I was still in corporate. You can download My Dream Week Schedule and do this exercise yourself! The link is also available after the show notes.

In this episode:

Older generations don’t see entrepreneurship as a path to security
The spiritual bubble is the sacred space of an undercover lightworker
Prepare for difficult conversations with people who have different beliefs
When I said I was a medium, my husband said, “you’re not going to quit your job, are you?”
I had an uncomfortable conversation with a friend with religious trauma
I regretted not sharing sooner with a friend that has spiritual interests
It was uncomfortable telling my boss that I would be doing this on maternity leave
I was shocked that my colleagues asked me to do readings in the Indigenous community
I would declare to Skylar on my way to work that I was here to be of service
I was inspired by younger millennials leaving when a position didn’t feel right
We learn that external validation is nice, but is not what drives us
I was a self-determined kid and my parents have never doubted me
It was hard for people to understand why I would leave my government job
Being First Nations, my kids and I have free benefits
Disability was more stress than benefit, for 40% of my income
I pay myself weekly what I was earning on a regular biweekly pay
I take a modest income and reinvest in my staff and growing Spirit School
When my brother was ill in March, I was able to be with him for three weeks
The evidence I’ve collected is that a 9 to 5 is not more secure
Know your why you before you invite people into your spiritual bubble
I showed my Capricorn husband a spreadsheet of earning potential
My why was that I wanted to drop my kids off at school and pick them up
We are a matriarchal family so quality of life is my responsibility
I hope my children start businesses instead of entering the workforce
I am demonstrating to them what it looks like to pursue your dreams
Have a few versions of an elevator pitch for different situations
Practice out loud for responses to people who have challenging reactions
In 2020, I found an old journal from where I had outlined my dream week
I cried when I realized that my schedule at the time was almost identical
Get clear on what you want instead of why you are unsatisfied
You can download the Dream Week manifesting worksheet in the show notes
I am opening a free community off of social media July 1st
The link will be with the July Spirit Messages
It starts with a five-day Spirit Guide Challenge

I am so excited to have Rae Embrey back on Spirit School! In our previous episode, Rae was talking to us about animal communication and healing. Today, she is here to share about her Business Energetics & Healing sessions and the layers that are involved. Rae is a huge part of my self care! She and I met in a business mastermind and we have since become good friends. I hire her every month to do energy clearing and energy alignment sessions for myself and my business. Rae is also our guest mentor in the Spirit School Collective this month and I am excited for her to share more in that space! In this episode:

Healing modalities helped Rae get to the root cause more than therapy
People started wanting the healing their animals received for themselves
Animal healing is also healing for the people
Rae has worked with Danielle through struggles with her membership
She is in a quantum field with guides to connect with your soul’s alignment
Running soul-based businesses is vulnerable and can trigger the nervous system
Words that come through in this space also transmute energy
You are activating energy and gaining clarity every time you listen
Rae brought the same messages as Danielle’s guides to continue the membership
The message “who is holding Danielle?” made her lean into help
Getting stuck in inner work prevents experiences of flow and contrast
Danielle talks about spiritual maturity and how alignment is a buzzword
Rae says that we see anything out of perfect flow as misalignment
Trust the first spark of the idea and that it may just need tweaking
Things come up for us to heal and reflect to see our value
A relationship doesn’t end after one argument. It requires work.
Danielle talks about us not wanting to sit in discomfort
Rae says misalignment often shows up as a persistent negative headspace
Things may look good from the outside but there may be internal struggle
When chaos is the baseline, calmness activates nervous system
Meditation and receiving healing help Rae to be clear and intentional
Danielle says that the things from the previous month are no longer an issue
People newer to their spiritual journey are more gradual with shifts
Clients move through layers and it feels like an elevation each time
The beings present in sessions depend on the client and their energy
Colours that the body and energy centers are craving show up
People may come when they are feeling misaligned or empty
Rae sees potentials but doesn’t predict the future and believes in free will
She is shifting her energy towards a podcast, membership and mentorship
Rae is also an astrologer and uses transits to understand patterns
Family dynamics show up in patterns throughout life
Finding clarity around what you value helps you find alignment
Nature, meditating, healing, her dogs and friends are self care for Rae

I want to thank you for all of your kind words about the June Spirit Messages! It really means a lot to me because I showed up at a time when I typically would have retreated. My transparency is always met with love and I will continue to thank you for listening.

This week’s topic is something I get asked about a lot, especially in the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership community. Many of you ask me how to create a “corporate escape plan” to leave your jobs! I will share some of the things that I did to prepare when I left my corporate career to pursue mediumship and teaching full-time.

In this episode:

I had no intention of leaving, just a knowing that I would enjoy my days more doing this work
I began immersing myself in content and podcasts about the corporate escape
Not everyone has the privilege and access I had to make this transition the way I did it
I had been building my audience for years and my husband also has a full-time income
For offline, I recommend getting involved in your community and even booking a local space
My business started with referrals from clients and one Saturday a month
You can build an online audience off or on social media
On social media, choose a platform you like such as Instagram, Facebook or TikTok
Off social media would be your newsletter, podcast or YouTube channel etc.
Vanity metrics like the number of followers doesn’t determine if you get booked
I have treated my online presence as a development blog, sharing my experiences
It is important to start this now, so you have people to sell to when you make the leap
I had a small but engaged audience of about 1500 followers when I went full-time
There are some unattainable figures for how much savings to have to leave your job
The amount you need to feel safe is personal and is something to figure out
There are a lot of resistances that come up when you start considering leaving
The external resistances were the consistency and benefits of corporate
Behind the layers, the root of the resistance was the fear of losing my house
Calling out my fear out loud on my commute took the power away from it
Doing it part-time brings clarity around what structure works for your goals
Another tip is to apply for whatever credit you can get with your full-time employment
Giving yourself specific timelines is exhausting and will make you feel like you’re failing
You will know when it’s time, so be flexible and remember there is no rush
On paper, it was not a good time when I left, but my podcast blew up and people were reaching out
I hadn’t considered teaching online but I followed the lead of what my audience asked for

June Spirit Messages

This has been one of the most difficult years of my life. We are at the midway point and the first thing Spirit has inspired me to say is that you are doing amazing. Regardless of how things are going, you are doing amazing. Remind yourself that you are doing your very best. Too often, we are aware of what we are doing wrong but rely on external sources for support. If you haven’t listened to the last episode, Good Enough, you can go back to it for more on that as well.

I almost didn’t do these June Spirit Messages because I am experiencing my PMDD hell week. I would have been okay with that because I honour myself first. I decided to take this opportunity to experiment with a new way of doing these messages for you and allowing spirit to speak through me. Taking the time to connect deeply with Spirit at this time was a way to have my own back. This is the focus of our messages. Do you have your own back?

In this episode:

Do you have your own back? For most of us, it’s a no
I am no longer afraid of the unknown
We talk ourselves out of things when our body matches a negative thought
If you had your own back, would you show up anyways despite the discomfort?
You have everything you need to show up for yourself the way you do for others
The blinders that keep us from seeing our magnificence are a choice
We pacify ourselves to avoid discomfort instead of taking incredible opportunities
Give yourself the support you would someone else taking a leap
Call your energy back. What does having your own back look like for you?
Understanding how to use the mind in harmony with the body
When triggered, the first thought is your pattern
The second thought should be to say “I am safe in this moment”
The third question is a gift from your soul to crack you open
You choose whether to change the pattern
This month, recognize your magnificence in every corner of your life
I felt emotional with a lot of love and mother energy
After this experience I am feeling light and free instead of the PMDD discomfort
New Beginnings - moving forward without fear of the unknown
Positive Movement Forward - riding into the sunset, hawk energy
Universe - we are not alone, but rather connected to oneness, a mindset shift
Transformation - it is already happening

Today’s episode is about the phrase “good enough.” I will be exploring it from a development lens. Even if we are able to feel that the other aspects of our lives exceed what is “good enough” for us, what we offer our clients never feels like it meets that standard. This is a theme that comes up in all of my containers, so I know it’s not just me! The episode is co-created with 25 of my Spirit School Collective members who shared their responses to the phrase.

As you may have seen on Instagram, I am so excited to share that the Spirit School podcast has officially crossed 200,000 downloads! Seeing 10-15,000 downloads each week is mind blowing to me as I was pleased when I had 5 downloads a week before I told anyone I had a podcast! Thank you all for listening to what I have to share and for supporting me on this part of my path.

In this episode:

Say the phrase “good enough” and see if you feel expanded or contracted
I feel expanded in my personal life, but contracted thinking about my work
“Good enough” was made up and only functions to make us feel less than
In mediumship, the equivalent is waiting 6 months for a reading
Phrases only have meaning when we all repeat it and agree with its usage
What individual meaning do we want to give to the phrase “good enough”?
Where did it start in our life?
In the Collective, comparison was a common “good enough” wound
Seeing others do well highlights what they are not doing well
We likely will never feel like we’re done with spiritual growth
We get to choose our beliefs and can choose to celebrate instead
We protect our egos and are often not thinking of the sitter’s experience
Use an introduction to share what you do well, not what you don’t
Confidence is directly related to feeling “good enough”
Lean into acceptance that there will always be things to work on and let go
Your inner saboteur that gives impossible expectations isn’t your true voice
The reader remembers the misses and the sitter remembers the hits
I choose to serve the world of spirit instead of giving my power to the human sitter
Spirit is never disappointed in you. You will have the opportunity to try again
An exercise to determine what you measuring stick of “good enough” is for readings
Everyone is different, so mediumship can’t have a one size fits all structure
Declare to spirit what kind of medium you want to be and allow them to align you
Consider replacing the phrase good enough altogether
Sessions that are “not good enough” do not define your practice

The Spirit School Collective is a beautiful community for you to grow and expand if you’re looking for a space to practice your gifts as a lightworker. We will be moving off of social media next month and the price will increase from the current rate of $111/month when we make that change. It is my dharma to increase capacity for the world of spirit, so I will be continuing to put more of my time into that space.

Lecture Series: Evolving Spiritual Philosophies from IGTV

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life. Today’s episode about evolving spiritual philosophies is from an IGTV video in February 2022.

This live video was from a time when I was struggling emotionally, physically and spiritually and I feel that it will likely resonate with many of you at this time as well. I then shared about changing my spiritual beliefs through experiences.

Some of the main points from the episode are:

Finding mediumship when I was searching for what happens to people who were not good people in this lifetime when they pass
At age 17, I found Sylvia Brown’s work and read all of her books, taking them as truth
I became a paranormal investigator and that was my spirituality at the time
Beginning my mediumship journey at 31, my experiences did not reflect her beliefs
I had a mentor who taught us to seek answers ourselves from spirit
My experiences with people who crossed themselves over was not the harsh reality Sylvia described
I teach from my experiences in the current moment and they change as I grow and evolve over time
I am also open to expanding on what I bring into my healing journey
When we sign up for a spiritual path, we have to grow and evolve
When some popular figures went born again Christian, my guides said that people serving out of integrity are redirected to a different way of being
We choose our beliefs
You will always end up where you’re meant to be, you may just have different stories depending on your choices
I don’t do psychic readings because it feels like taking away free will
My public speaking coach helped me connect to my feminine energy through my authentic voice
The colour red is has archetypal feminine energy
I am finally starting to share my beliefs on things I’m passionate about
You have to put yourself out there before your ready to not get stuck in fear
I have healers to support me with energetic cleansing and cord cutting
We all have blind spots as lightworkers
Envy is being expanded by what someone else has
I do not believe in triggering people intentionally and am getting certified in trauma informed practices
Emotions get stored in our bodies and we aren’t taught to process them
We can be multifaceted in our offerings with multiple modalities
I am working towards finding unconditional power
To learn about a philosophy, I put it out to spirit to direct me to answers

May 2022 Spirit Messages

I don’t know how April was for you, but for me it was the shining gem of 2022 so far! January to March was very challenging so it was refreshing to have a spacious month with very few hours of work scheduled. I’m sure you know by now that I can be a bit of a workaholic.

I have always been passionate about my work in every position I’ve held, but there is nothing that compares to what I am creating with Spirit School. People choosing me as their mentor expands me more than anything else because there are so many other options available. Every registration is an incredible honour.

To celebrate the 2 year anniversary of Spirit School, my online school, I am offering a 50% off sale for The Language of Spirit, The Empowered Podcaster and The Angel Hour bundle with the code ANNIVERSARY50 for the month of May! This sale is to offer these courses to you before they are removed from the school to make room for the next evolution of Spirit School to come. It is going to be completely different and I can’t wait!

Some of you may know that my guides only give me a word or phrase to start with ahead of recording these spirit messages. The metaphor I use for this type of inspirational mediumship is in a spin class when you start out pedaling fast and then after a while, the flywheel takes over and your legs are just trying to keep up!

Your May Spirit Messages:

The first inspiration for May is forgiving ourselves
Why are you so hard on yourself? And why do you continue to berate yourself?
This may be shame around things you would do differently
You can forgive yourself for the act without retraumatizing yourself
Let the energy and the intention of the words “I forgive myself” drip into your heartspace
Instead of dwelling on the past or going back to old patterns, what will you choose now?
Repeat the mantra throughout May until you feel it and new thought patterns can begin
Use Mercury retrograde to clean up inner dialogue and make up with yourself
Set up a date with yourself to start fresh
Patience - look at your work as a lifetime, not a season
Recognition & Reward - more from within than external payoff
Triumph - offerings launched or applying for positions in May will likely be successful
Success looks and feels different for every person and can be just starting
Things started this month will create a foundation for you
Do the thing you’ve been putting off to avoid self punishment
I enjoy having conversations with people who are not developing spiritually
It gets easier to have these conversations as your confidence grows

Registration is open until May 13 for The Calling, my 12 week business program for lightworkers that starts on May 18!

Cycles and Schedules - The Birth of Goddess Week

I have been wanting to talk more about spiritual entrepreneurship on the podcast for the past year, but I had a lot of healing and deconditioning to do first before I could do so openly. As I mentioned in the previous episode, there are not a lot of spiritual mentors treating their practice as a business and teaching about that side of it. This episode intertwines my journey with PMDD and how I have structured my business to allow for one week off every month to honour my feminine energy. Your cycles as a lightworker are important and I even have a module for members of the collective that goes more in depth about why.

Topics covered in this episode:

Instead of being upset, my clients appreciated me showing them that it was possible to take time off in their business
A minimum of 2 weeks off per year is not conducive to work/life balance
I hired a coach who talked about having a week off per month because that was a goal of mine when I went full-time in my practice in 2020
My therapist recognized that the times of extreme reaction and rage were because I was suffering with PMDD
I was able to track my cycle with the Stardust App
I had a thought that this rage was related to me not honouring my feminine
My desire for a week off per month and not being able to work during my PMDD “hell week” were aligning and Goddess week was born
Entrepreneurship is creative, not prescriptive
Goddess week is for preservation and I learned a lot in the first two months
In January, I was forced to rest when I got COVID and in February, I did not honour my break from social media and was triggered by a DM
I had a peaceful week in March that allowed me to put my family first
In April, I was able to take my family on vacation without needing to reschedule anything and my PMDD symptoms were nonexistent
Goddess Week may be a new norm for spiritual entrepreneurship and it is an act of self love
Think about what days and what time you enjoy doing your readings
Track these cycles and test out different schedules to get clarity
Boundaries are difficult but necessary for you to show up well for your clients
A scheduling system is crucial for a clear and smooth booking process
Be realistic about how many readings you have to do for your income goals
I acknowledge that I made the leap to full-time from a privileged place

Registration is now open for The Calling, a 3 month experience for lightworkers serving the public, which starts on May 18!

I haven’t covered this topic on the podcast before now, but my program The Calling is all about how to make the leap into charging for spiritual services as an entrepreneur. I had to teach myself because no one was really talking about it! My first mentor told me that I should not be considering my work as a medium to be a business, which really made the transition to paid readings a difficult one for me. A lot of shame came up around money and spirituality that I've had to walk through.

I want to share my journey with you and also some signs that you might be ready to start charging for your spiritual services or raise your prices. I know these signs well because in addition to my own experience, many of my clients come to me when they are ready to take the leap! Almost immediately after going full-time in my practice, people were hiring me to help with creating structures for their businesses so that they could focus on the work they love.

Some topics I cover in this episode:

Wanting to understand my gift deeply before considering practice readings for the public
I set a goal for myself of 150 free readings before I would begin charging
My first paid readings were at an event held by a friend for $20 per person, then referrals
Increasing prices as expenses for my online business increased
Paying for my development with the money from my readings
Figuring out pricing to replace my corporate salary
The connection between pricing and how I felt about myself
Some healing is intergenerational in the spiritual space
The first story we carry is the belief that we shouldn’t charge for our gifts
The second story is, “How can I charge $X for a specified amount of time?”
The third story is worrying that people won’t be able to afford your price
The final story is, “I am not good enough yet”
As I develop and invest my time, the price needs to reflect that
There is a lot of healing that comes up as a human on this path
This is a lifetime path, so there is no rush to get to the next destination

Teaching about entrepreneurship is a passion of mine and I can’t wait for the next round of The Calling, a 3 month experience, which starts on May 18!

Hello Spirit School Listeners! I’m so happy to be back with the April Spirit Messages. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I had to step away from my business and my practice for three weeks in March due to a family emergency. It feels like yesterday that I recorded the last spirit messages and I feel like I’m not the only one who felt personally attacked by March!

I am starting a 12 month series of masterclasses that will begin in April with Discover Your Personal Session style. It is for anyone - whether you’re already serving the public or you’re aspiring to do so one day! No matter what your modality, you will learn about what your magic is that sets you apart. This course will be free for anyone in the Spirit School Collective and there will be a 90 minute Q&A in the community as well! You can also choose to just attend the masterclass.

April will be an exciting month in the collective as we have a few more classes and events! Our guest mentor Lynn Tucknies is my Emotion Code practitioner and her sessions have been life changing for my family. We will also have classes on Chakras 101, Manifesting with Synchronicity and Clearing Low Vibrational Energies by members of the collective.

We are going to be moving to a new platform this summer and I am so excited for the expansion and changes I have planned for the Spirit School Collective!

In March, I learned that in times of chaos, we learn a lot about ourselves and our priorities
I learned that I am a family first person even though I love working
Some of you may be the opposite, shifting your energy from being all about your family to find what lights you up
When we aren’t making necessary shifts, chaos comes and we are fundamentally changed on the other side of it
We are surrounded with multiple conflicting truths at once and we get to choose ours
As a person with a positive bias, I am able to see beauty in the darker experiences
We have it backwards when we try to control things we can’t and are apathetic to the things we can
A lot of people feel stuck in jobs and situations that they could choose to change
Confidence comes from knowing who you are first, not validation
The other side of mediumship development is the human part that shows up

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life.

In this episode, I share how I surround myself with people who inspire me by embodying the qualities that I admire. What we see as possible helps us to expand and dream bigger. I also talk about how important mindset and self-talk are to your overall health and quality of life. Worthiness is not something we can receive elsewhere, but rather something that we need to claim for ourselves.

Some of the main points from the episode are:

Staying small because we aren’t inspired
I am always inspired and seeing what is possible so dreaming big is easy
Find people who have qualities that you admire
I share my struggles to show what is on the other side of fear
Looking to others from a place of inspiration instead of comparison
You can go back to what you’re comfortable doing after taking a leap
Shifting from a mindset of negativity or worry to seeing more positivity
Your quality of life starts with how you look at the world
History repeats itself and there is beauty even in difficult times
It is important that my children learn to receive love and compliments
Self talk impacts our physical well-being
Worthiness is not given, it’s claimed

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life. Today’s episode is about manifesting your dream life and cultivating personal power. It is from a few IGTV videos and I hope it inspires you to call in the schedule and life you love.

Recently, I decided to outsource my weekly laundry and that made me feel so abundant! Time freedom has always been a focus for my dream life and I love finding more ways to manifest it.

In this episode, I share how I called in my dream weekly schedule as an entrepreneur by allowing myself to dream big. I share about the shift from staying small to expanding so that I can inspire others by shining brightly. Have a journal handy to follow along with my exercise to manifest your dream week!

Some of the main points from the episode are:

My love for the creativity of entrepreneurship
Women pursuing their dreams despite limiting beliefs
Being clear and specific with our words when manifesting
The uncertainty when you take the leap as an entrepreneur
Speak from the heart and show up authentically
Realizing your power inspires others so there is no need to dim your light
Doing what scares you offers invaluable growth
Having boundaries around your cycles and time
How to manifest your dream week
Manifesting from feelings and emotions

As always, the world of Spirit inspires the monthly Spirit Messages through my own life and experiences. I have been going through a dark night of the soul since November and was feeling the loneliness that often comes with these times. I shared an inspired post on Instagram and it resonated with hundreds of people, reminding us all that we are not alone when we are doing our deep inner work.

We tend to focus on the light but the shadows stay in our body and will come up eventually. I am often thanked for being vulnerable on the podcast and in classes. Vulnerability must come naturally for me because I feel like it is part of sharing authentically. I know it can feel unsafe and like it is only for our close circle, but what if we expanded beyond that so that more people could feel seen in the world? Imagine if we were to process and share these things as they come up to release them instead of carrying them around.

I have been struggling emotionally and was feeling bad because my life is so beautiful. After feeling this way for a couple of weeks, I decided to join a breathwork session that was offered through a course I am in. I have avoided breathwork because of its vulnerability but this ended up being one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had in my life. It broke me open and there were sounds that came out of me from a version of myself that I didn’t know existed. It’s often in these moments of crumbling that we are brought back into devotion. When we feel like we are spiraling and don’t have control, the answer is to take a seat and tune within.

This path means surrendering to something greater than ourselves and the unpredictability of these cycles. I don’t believe in consistency as a goal because we are not the same person every day. We need to honour the ebbs and flows and allow ourselves space to rest when we need it. The momentum created will sustain us when we take a break.

Another thing to remember is that we all have blind spots, which is why we hire mentors and coaches. Sometimes emotions and patterns that we carry are not even our own. Working with healers and mentors allows me to hold space for the people who are looking to me and tapping into my energy. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. If we want to have it all, we cannot do it alone.

In honour of Black History Month, this episode highlights Black mediums in history, Sojourner Truth and Le Cercle Harmonique. Unlike my usual episodes where I riff on an inspiration or idea, I did a lot of research and prepared notes to ensure I was sharing accurate information about these amazing historical mediums.

Although I have an appreciation for the structure and awareness that spiritualism has brought to mediumship, my guides have ensured that my approach to mediumship has been through the lens of my Indigenous culture. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from elders at my corporate position in Indigenous health and wellness. I reconnected to my culture through this experience since residential schools prevented me from being immersed in it growing up. It is important to remember that mediumship and spirit communication has existed as long as we have been here on earth. We have always communicated with our ancestors and I invite you to learn about your own culture’s history with mediumship.

As I reflected on my research for this episode and the impacts on society that these people had, I have been considering what I will leave behind as my own legacy through my work as a medium and inspirational speaker. Take some time to think about what you share of your beliefs and opinions and how you want to be remembered from your imprint on the world.

Sojourner Truth highlights:

Sojourner was born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree in New York state in 1797
Isabella was the first Black woman to sue a white man and win in court when she fought for custody of her son
In 1843, Isabella changed her name to Sojourner Truth, declaring that she would travel to preach truth and work against injustice
Around 1856, she moved to Harmonica, Michigan where her spiritualism journey began
Anne Braude, a lecturer at Harvard Divinity School talks about how Spiritualism in America was informed by the traditions of enslaved African people in North America
Many abolitionists and feminists had a connection to spiritualism and most working mediums were women
At the time of her passing in 1883, Sojourner Truth had never learned to read or write, but her lectures changed the cultural fabric of the United States

Le Cercle Harmonique Highlights

Le Cercle Harmonique was a Spiritualist group of seven Afro-Creole men from affluent families in New Orleans founded by Henry Louis Rey in the early 1850s
These circles combined Spiritualism, radicalism from the Caribbean and France, and Andrew Jackson Davis’ Harmonial Philosophy.
Protocol included an emphasis on punctuality so as to not disturb the harmony created and the room needed to be dark so the mediums could concentrate
There were messages from deceased family members of the group and also well known spirits such as Voltaire, Vincent de Paul and Abraham Lincoln
“The Idea” was the foundational principle of the circle, representing egalitarianism, equality and brotherhood - a spirit world structure and model for the physical world
Unlike their white Spiritualist contemporaries, Le Cercle Harmonique received messages identifying a spirit world without race where bright spirits would replace raced bodies

The Empowered Podcaster

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life. Today’s episode about creating boundaries and connecting to the wisdom of your body is a compilation of three IGTV videos from the past two years.

Recently, I have been assessing how I can have stronger boundaries around my energy in my business. I’ve always responded directly to every message and request and as my business has expanded, the way that I serve needs to be more sustainable. I have structured my schedule to accommodate a week off every month.

Though being on the receiving end can sometimes feel like rejection, I hope that by setting some personal boundaries, you are empowered to create your own. We are all worthy of a life filled with peace, joy, expansion and love.

Some of the main points from the episode are:

I took time off to be in my feminine energy through feeling my emotions and connecting with water
Processing emotions and healing around being safe in my body
Setting boundaries allows be to show up better for the people in my life
I created clarity for myself by quitting drinking as a lifestyle choice for awhile
It wasn’t the alcohol, but drinking to numb my feelings that was a problem for me
Feeling stuck may be your body asking you to slow down and rest
If you need to get things done, start with what brings you joy
I also quit smoking 10 years ago and it was the most difficult thing I’ve done
I love the life I’ve created and am energized thinking of the changes to come
My body has changed since quitting smoking and having kids and I feel beautiful!
Revealed by Meggan Watterson has broken me open and brought my focus to the voice and divinity within
Many of us experience trauma that makes us feel unsafe in our bodies, making it difficult to sit with ourselves in stillness
Mediumship is a lifestyle and requires healing work and self-compassion

Find Your Cosmic Calling with Astrologer Natalie Walstein

I am so excited to introduce you to Natalie Walstein, host of the Cosmic Calling podcast! She was one of my first mentors when I went full-time in my business and I’ve been inspired by her podcast for a long time as well.

I was really drawn to her in one of her episodes about the nodes and booked a reading in December 2019. When Natalie said that I would be working with large groups of people, I said there was no way. Her response was, “I guess you’ll have to do it scared.” That changed my life!

As a Career Astrologer at Soulshine Astrology, Natalie Walstein blends ancient astrological wisdom with modern, down-to-earth guidance to help creative souls and spiritual seekers discover their cosmic calling and align their life + career with the cosmos.

Natalie is also the author of Find Your Cosmic Calling: A Guide to Discovering Your Life’s Work with Astrology. This book helps you to decode your own astrology birth chart to uncover your life’s purpose and is the book I would recommend for learning astrology. I couldn’t put it down! Natalie has explained the concepts with beautiful clarity making it easy to grasp.

Some highlights from my conversation with Natalie:

A birth chart covers your soul’s mission, so parts of it may not resonate until later as your life unfolds.

Astrology is interpreted differently by each astrologer. Find what resonates with you!
Helping people to leave jobs they hate and transition into doing what they really love is what made Natalie choose career astrology.
Natalie was introduced to spirituality at an early age but didn’t take it seriously until she had a serious illness and had a spiritual awakening.
Looking at the symbols, she is able to feel their energy and see visions of what they mean and channel pages of information about them.
Your birth chart is an accumulation of past lifetimes as well as this lifetime.
Astrology can help people find what type of work will light them up and to decondition from the mindset of working to survive.
As you use the book with your chart, check in with yourself and ask if you’re aligned.
Learning astrology and your own chart is an ongoing process and you can focus on one piece at a time
Natalie recently had another spiritual awakening while taking an angel messenger course and has been working with angel energy in her life
Angel messages are about the bigger picture and loving acceptance

February Spirit Messages

Hello Spirit School listeners! January was an intense month for me personally. I got sick leading up to the launch of The Initiation and had to push back my mastermind but at the same time, I was expanding my team by two members.

I’ve been working with Spirit to understand my process of manifestation and the Initiation was an amazing experiment. I desired to have 44 people sign up for it and it did not seem like it was going to happen. I didn’t have the energy to do all of the typical marketing strategies so I leaned into trust and the 44th person signed up 10 minutes before the first live call! It was a really cool lesson for me. I’m choosing to highlight the things that went right even though so much went wrong and I hope you’re able to do the same.

The determination that I needed to harness to persevere is very aligned with the messages I received for our Spirit Messages this month!

The highlights from the February Spirit Messages:

I don’t have the same commitment to my health that I do in my business
We all have the inner saboteur archetype and being out of integrity is a confidence killer
All of the small broken commitments compound to erode your trust in yourself
I made goals in my human life this year to have more fun and learn to stop on ice skates, so I signed up for lessons to follow through on my word
Spiritual growth and maturity will come from reflecting on the lessons of your experiences
Honor the duality in the highs and lows of the month
I feel it will be a powerful month for manifestation once you have completed a cycle
New beginnings will follow the completed cycle through your awareness of the lesson
With new opportunities come new challenges and lessons

The spiritual path can be lonely and I created the Spirit School Collective as a space where you can share your journey with one another. It is incredible to witness others and to be witnessed as you expand!

My Personal Development Journey

Happy New Year! This episode is my first recording of 2022, even though the Spirit Messages episode came out on January 2. After crossing the milestone of my second year of podcasting on December 22, I am excited to continue creating episodes when I am inspired!

I received the inspiration to share my personal development story in December, but it didn’t feel aligned to release it until now. In this episode, I am sharing my own personal development journey as well as some tips that you can use for your own.

Some highlights from the episode are:

My official awakening was after the birth of my daughter in 2013
I did not believe the many mediums who told me in readings that I could do this work
The first reading I did scared me because it was my first experience with deep grief
I grew up watching John Edwards and reading Sylvia Browne
My first 3 years of development was in circles with the same mentor, meeting only once per month, making it a slow and steady path
My devotion outside of that was in meditation, sitting in the power and connecting with my guide Skylar for guidance
When I released the pressure to work for the public and accepted that my soul would let me know when I was ready, I had opportunities come to me
After the birth of my son, I went full-time and came out of the spiritual closet
I continued to develop under mentors, take workshops and do practice readings
My performance anxiety with paid readings
Spirit ALWAYS shows up
My next challenge was that all of my clients wanted psychic readings and my Spirit team gave me an evidential psychic reading bootcamp
Returning to mediumship showed me that it still works after a break
I realized that my most profound development was from Spirit in the actual sessions
Knowing your worth helps you achieve your mediumship goals, not the other way around
So much of the development path is the inner healing work
The experiences in our everyday life also help us in our development and mediumship references

This episode is from the Spirit School Lecture Series that highlights my live teachings in the areas of mediumship, spiritual and personal development, entrepreneurship and quality of life. Today’s episode is a compilation of IGTV clips on the topic of manifestation.

I share how my upbringing and early experiences shaped my relationship to money and dreams and how I was able to shift into a more abundant mindset. I have never studied manifestation, but just like in mediumship, I teach from my own experience and practices. I hope that you are able to take away a few insights to help you feel more abundant in your everyday life!

In this episode, I discuss:

coming from a lower income family
how I started out with a broke mindset and recurring debt
my financially abusive first marriage
my kind husband has bailed me out and brought a more stable energy
when my mentor challenged my “I can’t afford it” outlook
how hiring a cleaner resulted in my income doubling
healing from my past mistakes and overcoming debt cycles
spending money on fun and seeing the money come back unexpectedly
letting go of what doesn’t make you happy
learning to keep the money I manifested so easily
how I used to shop to fill the void from my unhappiness at work
how time freedom is the biggest motivator for me
shifting out of a worst case scenario outlook to change your vibration
the importance of recognizing if you have a positive or negative bias
getting specific on what time freedom or abundance looks like in your life
making decisions and creating boundaries to support your goals
how putting a timeline on a manifestation is going to have you tested
the importance of self acceptance despite external expectations
replace unhelpful habits with something healthier

I am so excited to share this episode of my interview with my mediumship mentor Dominic Boag! I have been working with him for the past year as my mediumship changed after losing my cat Bender and experiencing grief for the first time. I love to watch Dominic demonstrate and enjoy his cadence as I am sure you will as well.

Dominic first began developing his mediumship in the Spiritualist Church after the loss of his father when he was fourteen years old and was working as a medium at sixteen. He describes his journey as being fairly natural and has allowed it to unfold with the guidance of Spirit.

In this episode we talked about:

How he first realized that he was able to connect as a medium
His experience balancing mediumship development as a student in school
The confidence that comes from learning at a young age
How his mother came to learn about his abilities and support him
The shift in Dominic’s mediumship after his vision loss
Learning to trust Spirit and to release the fear of being wrong
How my mediumship improved after giving myself time to grieve
Knowing that Spirit is beside us when we need to experience the human parts of life
Allowing your own unique mediumship journey to unfold through Spirit instead of comparison
Dominic gives his tips for developing mediums including to have fun!

It was incredible to have this conversation with Dominic and to share his voice and philosophies with you. I hope you will feel more confident in your own abilities and connection to Spirit having listened to this episode!

More information here: https://luscious-hustle.thinkific.com/courses/desire-masterclass

I get to sit with the Luscious Hustle once again and discuss the concept of making decisions from DESIRE. This was a word I didn’t always resonate with, or know what to do with, but over the past year I have seen how valuable the inquiry “do I desire this” has been.

We pose the three questions:

What comes up for you when you hear “Desire”
When was a time you followed your desire and it didn’t work out?
When did you follow your desire and it DID work out?

We share our experiences and talk about our upcoming 3-hour masterclass on December 21st called DESIRE

This three-hour masterclass I teach how I use my relationship with my Spirit Team to help inspire me to achieve my goals and desires.

Teachings on how your Spirit team (Guides, Angels, Ancestors) support you in achieving your desires.
Tuning into your higher self to reveal what is possible for your highest potential in 2022 - tuning into your desires.
Celebrating and integrating the lessons of 2021 to clear energetic space for what’s to come.
Discovering how Human Design, a fusion of ancient and modern sciences, supports your unique energetic strategy and uncover what makes you different from everyone else.
Learning how to access your deepest desires and understand where conditioning may be blocking you from actualizing what you want.
Unlocking the Divine Feminine leader within to create a life that feels truly aligned in 2022.

Hope to see you in the DESIRE Masterclass !

In this episode, I am sharing my journey to confidence in my personal life and mediumship development journey - as they are inseparable. In my experience, finding confidence is an inside job.

In addition to stage fright, I had many experiences that contributed to my lack of confidence and self-worth in childhood. I was told by a teacher that I would never become anything but a drug dealer when I was in grade four. I started smoking and spending time with people who were not moving in a positive direction. I was also bullied so severely that I switched high schools and ended up being home-schooled.

Although school was not a positive environment for me, I have always thrived in my career. I was recruited from a daycare job by a man willing to mentor me in his business. He gave me opportunities to grow with the company, and that was my introduction to the motorsports industry, working with men and excelling in my roles. I transitioned into the Indigenous health and wellness space when I planned on having a baby to have a more aligned lifestyle.

My introduction to the corporate world and female leadership was not a positive one. However, after witnessing an Indigenous woman in her power in a meeting, I asked how I could work for her, and she made it happen. Under her leadership, I was able to build my confidence because she gave me every opportunity to have projects with high visibility and leadership roles. Most of my mediumship mentors appeared to have her level of confidence but, at their core, really did not. I used the skills from my corporate career to work through the wounds and not-enoughness that came up in my mediumship development journey.

Though it is helpful to have mentors and teachers, it is ultimately up to us to do the work to heal our wounds and step into our power. Through healing in my human experience, my confidence in mediumship has expanded from the inside out. What I have learned to embrace is that being confident is a choice.

Part 1: My Journey Through Stage Fright

In this episode, I am sharing my journey with stage fright. I never know when it is going to happen, but still, I show up. Spirit increases my capacity to hold space as my confidence builds, and my purpose is what keeps me going. I know that I am worthy of being heard, and I want you to know that you are too!

Some highlights of my journey through stage fright from the episode:

I was six the first time I had stage fright and, at the last minute, could not perform in a daycare play we were performing for our parents. After that, I preferred to be behind the scenes!
Stage fright is a physical experience for me where I break out in hives, activate my nervous system, and become paralyzed.
Working in Indigenous health and wellness, I gradually was given more visible roles and projects that were getting media attention and awareness.
I started hosting moon circles with only four people and stopped doing them when I got stage fright in a group of seventeen!
Podcasting offered a way for me to heal my voice without having eyes on me. I deleted most of the original episodes I recorded, but I spontaneously published the episodes I had saved after a nervous breakdown at work and Spirit School was born!
I recently had a stage fright experience where I completely shut down while asking John Edwards a question in a live online event.

Part Two: Sara Rose

Sara Rose is a client of 3 years who is part of The Initiation Circle and was one of my first choices for readers to work under my Squamish Medium brand. I challenged her to step out of her comfort zone and record a podcast episode with me on the spot! You will love her peaceful, healing voice and energy.

After years of hiding her true Soul’s expression and experiencing guidance from the Universe in the form of health issues and struggles, Sara was guided back to a spiritually-fulfilled life. She created Femme Path Soul Care, where she offers Soul-Aligned Coaching, Energy Healing, Soul Reading, Chakra Reading and Mediumship. Sara believes that you are your best healer and that everything external is simply to augment what already exists within you. The main focus of her work is to empower you through conscious self-discovery by reconnecting you with the unique imprint that is your pure, essential Soul Expression.

I love creating episodes for this podcast, but I feel that my best work is in my live teaching energy through my programs, one-on-one mentorship and in the Initiation Circle. I will continue to release episodes only when I am inspired to prioritize quality over consistency.

Today’s episode is the audio from the most recent live Q&A Call in the Initiation Circle. The questions asked are always amazing and they are at all levels of development so I thought this call would resonate with many of you!

Questions:

I feel like I keep going 1 step forward, 2 steps back. How do I keep momentum on my development path?
How do I balance my spiritual practice and life with a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old? I don’t feel “spiritual” and am often exhausted.
How do I improve spirit communication when I am getting foggy connections and brief pictures like a puzzle? Is it me or is that just how it is?
How do I choose a business name and what is the next step?
I know I want to be on this path but sometimes feel like leaving my practice and going back to old ways. Is the human part always going to feel like work?
Other than setting intentions, are there other ways to develop our clairs?
Why do I keep going out of my way to accommodate people instead of maintaining my boundaries?
What is the true purpose of our souls reincarnating?

If you are interested in joining the Initiation Circle to experience the workshops, mentorship and community environment, you can click the link below. This call is one of many sessions from the past year that you will gain access to as a member of the community. The waitlist for the Initiation Program for Winter 2022 is also live now!

October has been a busy month so far and I’m so happy to be back with another episode of Spirit School! If you’re ever wondering what’s going on with me, I share a lot on my Instagram account through stories and IGTV videos.

Danielle’s Instagram The Initiation Circle The Initiation Mediumship Foundations Program 2022

I was fortunate enough to read for Lianne, who was the server at my birthday dinner. I felt drawn to give her a reading after she approached me and said she was on my waitlist.

I only ask a few people each month to sit with me for free sessions where I can just purely serve Spirit. I was so grateful Spirit aligned Lianne to my awareness I feel that we both got a lot out of this session and she was gracious enough to allow me to post this reading on the podcast, with very limited edits

The only thing I edited was her last name and at the end, we had a bit of a personal banter I tried to only leave in things that are relevant the session.

I hope you enjoy it!

Basically, we're going into the depths of it all (thanks to Scorpio energy - I LOVE Scorpio energy). It doesn't mess around and is incredibly transformational - why would we go through the roller coasters of September's energy if we weren't about to have big breakthroughs?

I hope these messages resonate and help you make the most of the month ahead.

I am so excited to welcome one of my most popular guests, Sheila V, back to Spirit School!

After 20 years in the corporate world, Sheila became a full-time psychic medium after a spiritual awakening and a period of intense studying seeking truth in different modalities. She is now a mentor and the author of a new book called Brave: Courageously live your truth that sheds light on how you can show up authentically and do everything that you aspire to do.

Sheila talks about how signs will lead you to your calling. Following them takes courage because they are asking you to leave the life you currently have to create a new one. On the other side of taking this leap are deep relationships based on new values and beliefs.

Some topics that we covered are:

How to recognize and receive signs as evidence of support
Signs that told Sheila she was ready to shift into her career as a medium
Categories of signs and the steps to understand them
Courageously stepping into an authentic, unique and visible path
Building trust in the universe and your own intuition
Sign shock and having gratitude for the signs we receive

You can work with Sheila through the links below to sign up for a reading, coaching call or her Awakening Intuition course that starts September 29! If it isn’t your time to work with her directly, you can receive guidance through her book Brave: Courageously live your truth.

Brave: Courageously Live Your Truth

I am so excited to share this interview with my favourite medium of all time Aboriginal Medium Shawn Leonard! This episode was the highlight of my career and he was so generous with his time. It is common for Indigenous teachings to be shared through storytelling and the length of this episode reflects that experience.

In this interview, Shawn shares how he first became aware of his abilities through vibes and thoughts that he would receive about people which brought him to the initial stages of mediumship development. If you want to do this work, asking for help from Spirit and leading with trust and faith will guide you into alignment with your path.

The stories that Shawn tells demonstrate the healing power of mediumship and the value of messages in addition to bringing validation to the sitter. He talks about how claircognizance and compassion are just as important as clairvoyance when conveying what needs to be communicated in a reading. Being a part of someone’s healing is the real gift of being a medium.

Shawn Leonard's TV show Spirit Talker gives the Indigenous community access to mediumship and shares stories that are relatable to give hope to those who are in need of healing. The divine intelligence of Spirit ensures that even in a group reading or demonstration, the messages will be received by more than those whose loved ones connect at that time.

Some questions that Shawn answered were:

How do you receive names?
What is your relationship with angels?
Are earthbound spirits and ghosts real?

Be sure to watch the Season 2 premiere of Spirit Talker on APTN tomorrow, September 15, 2021!

Bridgette Reading

Thank you for all of the messages I’ve received about the September Spirit Messages episode! Although they were not the most positive, I have found that the book Braiding Sweetgrass and its Indigenous teachings has been a source of grounding for me.

This episode is one from my series where I share sessions with Instagram followers who are selected by me for a reading. I was so happy to confirm that Bridgette is also a member of my Initiation Circle when I connected with her through her Instagram account. The only information that I had prior to the reading was that Bridgette had lost her husband. For privacy, I started the reading after she spelled her name to connect to the energy of her voice.

This was an emotional reading filled with messages of love. There were validations about signs Bridgette has received and events that have happened since her husband’s passing that let her know he is still around. We also talked about grief and how it is a deeply personal journey with no set of rules or timeline.

Stay tuned until the end to hear Bridgette’s follow-up reflection and testimonial on her experience as my sitter.

September is a month to go with the flow! Letting go of control will be helpful for your nervous system in addition to providing an opportunity for growth. We can only control our own thoughts and energy.

When looking at health, throat issues may show up in response to some anger around feeling unsafe to express yourself this month. To clear the throat chakra, it would be helpful to find someone you can share with instead of holding it in. At the same time, we need to pause and consider the impact of our words and energy before we speak.

Something that also came up was the message to use your third eye to visualize the life you're working towards. This, along with a grounding practice that works for you can counteract the roller coaster going on in September.

I also mentioned in this episode that the best way to access my mentorship right now is in The Initiation Circle, my monthly membership. There is a high demand for 1:1 mentorship and members are offered priority. You get access to all of the previous content and there are exciting opportunities coming up!

The Soul Care Planner by Sara McCormick

After The Initiation Six Week Mediumship Foundations Journey wrapped up, I took two full weeks off, including one-week offline camping with my family! As a result, I haven’t recorded an episode in a few weeks.

For my first episode back, I went live on Instagram to ask my audience what they would like me to talk about and almost everyone said, angels! I haven’t shared a lot about angels because my experience with them is so personal and unique compared to what I have learned through studying them. I am an experiential teacher and can only teach what I am embodied in, so keep in mind that what I share in this episode comes from my experience.

In this episode, I answered some questions from Instagram such as:

How my awareness of angels has evolved (numbers, colour, lights)
My connection to archangels versus guardian angels
How angels show up in my mentorship sessions
How I connect to angels now compared to when I started by asking for small things
The difference between guides and angels
Finding my own place in angel work

“You are worthy of connecting with angels and I am worthy of healing others even though I’m not fully healed myself. I’m worthy of it all and so are you.”

August Spirit Messages focus on how surprisingly wonderful it can be to take time away from your development, the importance of being kind to yourself when your soul calls for you to be ‘human,’ and a reminder that you will never fall behind on this path.

There are also messages about finding your true personal power, a financial reset, and how nostalgia can lead to great changes in your life.

And last but not least - romance is in the air!

A story I never thought I'd share on the podcast. I don't believe in earth-bound spirits, demons or evil spirits - but I did have an experience one time, with what I term a collection of dark energy - not a being, but energy ... I share my experience and learnings here.

I do not believe we have anything to fear here, and I do hope that this podcast and its takeaways are one of hope and internal true power.

A Conversation about Women's Cycles with Rachel Moranis

Rachel Moranis is the creator of Stardust, an app that accurately tracks women's cycles with the rhythms of the moon and cosmos. It's no coincidence that the length of your menstrual cycle exactly matches the waxing and waning of the moon.

The Stardust app integrates science, astronomy, and artificial intelligence to connect your hormonal cycle with the cycles of larger celestial bodies: the stars, planets, sun, and moon.

In this podcast, we discuss how bleed times indicate where you are in your life, ancestral ways of honouring your cycles and bleed times, and what happens when you enter your crone years.

The app is eerily accurate and includes categorizations of white witch, red witch, pink witch, and purple witch moon bleeders - which we also discuss in the interview.

Found out more about it here: https://www.thestardustapp.com/

I was thrilled to interview Betsy and Laura of the Luscious Hustle. I had a human design session with them and loved it!

In this episode, we discuss transitioning from working with the moon to human design in business mentorship, finding purpose and alignment, and the energy types we all try. We also talked about the divine feminine and masculine energy in business and the male and female energy cycles.

July Spirit Messages focus on self-development and growth!

A few of the topics discussed include; how to build your self-confidence with courage, being mindful and conscious about your finances, awareness around your internal chatter, and being in the moment.

What courageous thing are you going to do this month?

I also talk about why it was important for me to donate part proceeds from the recent launch of The Initiation - a six-week mediumship foundations journey - to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSS). You can check out the amazing work they do here: https://www.irsss.ca/

I was honoured to read for Emma, a local mama who posted on a message board she was hoping for a mediumship experience, I was able to connect with her dad in this Spirit School Session

As much as I loved Emma's session, this was an episode I was nervous to release, it's not my 'best' reading, nothing wow-factor from an inner-critic perspective - but my lesson was Emma loved her session, and she loved the connection with her dad, so who am I, to judge the quality of a session?

I work for Spirit, and my sitter enjoyed her experience - who am I to judge if I'm truly merely a servant?

We all need to learn to get out of our own way!

Love you all!

This isn't the most 'positive' card pull but there is a crumbling that needs to occur for the rebirth to happen. Focus on yourself and your inner world.

I researched 4 historical black mediums in history, that truly made massive shifts for all of us working mediums back in the day. This was brought to my attention from one of my Initiation 2021 sisters, how my lesson on the History of Mediumship was missing diversity, and she was very right. It led me to want to learn more about my own cultural background and Mediumship (Indigenous descent)

I have a special message from Jonathan The Medium in this episode for all mediums who feel they are not widely represented in the world of Mediumship, and I thank him for his time and generosity in continuing to be a safe cultural sounding board for me, and his willingness to contribute to this episode.

Trance Mediumship
Physical Mediumship
The power of development circles
Skeptical husbands and so much more!

I get to chat with Toni Willis an Oregon based Psychic Medium and Mentor who drops a lot of mediumship truth-bombs on her Instagram @soulstarmedium.

I had her on Spirit School to discuss some of the less spoken of mediumship misconceptions around:

Needing 'Protection' from Spirit
"All Mediums are Psychic but not all Psychics are Mediums" philosophy
'Stuck' Spirits and Ghosts - Spirits being bothersome or 'attaching' themselves to you
Placing human attributes on Spirit

I share all the phenomenally amazing signs my cat Bender has left me since he passed 7 weeks ago, and I also share some voice memos left by the Spirit School listeners on their signs from their departed pets! This is by far my favorite podcast episode ever.

Animal Communication I suspect will be a part of my future, I have another Pet Communication episode planned for November, so if you want to share your own story of your pet's signs they've left you, leave the podcast a voice memo here:

Take the What's Your Clair QUIZ!:

https://daniellesearancke.typeform.com/to/Z1te8o

Today I put on my End of life Doula hat, as well as my working professional medium hat.

I present on grief, types of grief, healthy and unhealthy ways of coping with grief, and get into the roles and responsibilities I see as the Mediums part of the holistic cycle of the grief + healing process.

Remember in August when I said "enjoy this month, it's the calm before the storm" ....

This month will be a bit 'stormy'.

Tune into Spirits messages for yourself to prepare your Spirit and humanness for an uncertain and for some, turbulent month! I wish all my forecasts could be rainbows and butterflies! I so do! Love you all!

TAKE MY QUIZ! What's your strongest Clair!?

https://daniellesearancke.typeform.com/to/Z1te8o

Another vulnerable share, as that's how I roll. I share the time I quit mediumship in 2018 and the events that were leading up to that experience.

Mediumship is not an 'easy' path, it's challenging in so many ways, yet it's one of the most emotionally and spiritually rewarding paths at the same time.

I have yet to find a professional medium who has done this work for any decent amount of time who has not experienced wanting to give it up, yet is always called back to the path.

I hope this story inspires others to keep going, and take breaks when your soul calls you to do so!

I was thrilled to interview Dr Michael Lennox! An Astrologer, Dream Expert and Spiritual Teacher, affectionately also known as The Red Robe Astrologer.

His IG is the first thing to greet me each day! Gifting just the astro energies each morning from the comfort of his … red robe!

In this podcast we discuss astrology. Why is it so easy for some and so hard for others!

We also discuss dreams, I personally don’t recall my dreams often, got some great advice on how to remember my dreams with more ease!

Also an energizing talk on Sleep Paralysis! Holly mic-drop moment for me as this is a topic that often peppers my DMS!

We ended our chat on the topic of ‘finding your voice’ which Dr Lennox is an expert teacher in, the trauma that forms our adult voice and how to free that voice!

I loved EVERY MINUTE of this conversation and I am SO GRATEFUL for Michael for coming on the Spirit School Podcast!

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Anthony Mrocka, a New Jersey base medium who is a phenomenal medium and mentor.

I was drawn to Anthony as a medium from his YouTube videos : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw-D41JMa83l4z6__cHN5Bw

He shared openly about the fears mediums face and his own fears he overcame stepping into this work. Some questions we discuss in this interview:

How did you find you connected with Spirit?
The Clairs, what is your strongest Clair?
What is the balance between evidence and messages?
Is mediumship evolving?
What is the most common fear of the student
What philosophies do you give them to transcend their fears?
How do you get names?

This is a very down to earth and generous light worker! You can also watch this interview on my Youtube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa7AMpsKT7-fLVQNtPysKFg?view_as=subscriber

The Language of Spirit is how I am able to communicate with departed loved ones, Angels and Guides to bring through evidence and comfort to those aligned to work with me. The Clairs (Language of Spirit) is my favourite thing to teach my students and the world about Spiritual Development!

We are all fluent in The Language of Spirit, but through the human experience we forget.... for mediumship and psychic development it’s about remembering that language and developing it further! ⁠

"How did you know you should go professional medium"

"What happened to make you realize you were good enough to do this work?

"How long did it take you to become a professional medium?

These are the common questions I've received this month from my Spirit School students.

I share my personal story on the journey to knowing when I was 'Good Enough' to come out as a professional psychic Medium. I share some questions you may want to consider as you transition from "Developing" intuitive to "professional" intuitive, in whatever modality you are interested in.

I do feel this journey is completely personal, but hopefully sharing my story and what I feel makes a good professional intuitive worker will help some of you feel confident in your journey!

In the spiritual development journey we sometimes get very hung up on being connected and 'disconnected', a word I hope you all eliminate from your vocabulary.

The human experience has ebbs, and flows, affecting our AWARENESS of our connection to Spirit. We are NEVER disconnected, we are NEVER forgotten.

I hope this episode helps someone out there.
