Belonging Is Not a Modern Longing

Danielle opened her fourth Spirit School Retreat with this topic because she thinks a lot of us are quietly carrying it. Not the performance of belonging, the actual felt sense of it in the body. She goes somewhere deeply personal: her own Indigenous reconnection journey as a Swampy Cree woman, and what spirit sent her when she finally named it.

Exploring Paradoxes in Mediumship

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.

Growing Pains as a Spiritual Entrepreneur

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’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.

My Night at Chillingham Castle

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!

Spirit Messages: April 2023

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.’

Inner Child and Outer Expression with Jenni Conn

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 and 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.

Physical Mediumship with Winter Brook

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 mentors to experience her energy and wisdom.
