This week's episode is another live Q&A from Spirit Social, and the questions took us in all sorts of fascinating directions.

We're talking about:

• What people really mean by "spiritual downloads"
• Whether channelling is as mysterious as it's often made out to be
• Physical mediumship, apports and where I think fraud has confused genuine phenomena
• Why spirit sometimes move objects... and sometimes don't
• Practical advice for developing mediums starting to offer readings
• Working with multiple spirits in one evidential link
• And why I think mediumship is often much simpler than the spiritual world likes to make it sound.

As always, there are plenty of rabbit holes, a few stories from my own experiences, and a healthy amount of questioning the things we're often told to simply accept.

This is also the last public Mediumship Matters live Q&A.

From next month, these sessions will be returning to their original home inside Spirit Social, where we'll be able to explore your questions, practise together and have more open conversations as a community.

If you've enjoyed these live discussions and would like to be part of future Q&As, I'd love to welcome you there.

I'm starting a circle, and you're invited.

Most people developing their mediumship are doing it on their own. From September I'm running a monthly development circle inside Spirit Social, where you practise with other people instead of just reading about it. Over 12 monthly live events, alongside daily card readings and live demonstrations.

This week’s episode is a live Q&A recorded on Spirit Social… and we go everywhere.

From trance mediumship and evidential communication to spirit guides, family trees in readings, afterlife adventures, and whether spirits ever really leave us alone.

We’re talking about:

• Why trance and evidential mediumship feel so different

• Whether trance can be evidential

• How mediums identify generations within spirit families

• Why spirits don’t get offended when we push them away

• Whether souls continue discovering and evolving in the afterlife

• And the strange balance between surrender, evidence and human expectation in mediumship

There’s philosophy.

There’s practical teaching.

There’s a bit of chaos.

And honestly, I think those are always the best conversations.

Live from Spirit Social — April's open Q&A with Hannah Macintyre.

In this episode, Hannah takes live questions from Spirit Social members on trance and healing, why our spirit guides so often appear as historical figures (and whether they'd disappoint us by looking like us), the ethics of paranormal hunting and ghost tours, hierarchy in the spirit world, the higher self, intuition versus pattern-matching, and what to do when you hit a spiritual lull.

Honest, unscripted, and full of the kind of tangents that only happen live — including a story about two students nearly coming to blows over whose Native American guide outranked the other.

This is one of three special live episodes recorded inside the Spirit Social app. From July, live Q&As return to being members-only — so if you'd like to bring your own questions to the next one, join us at https://onelink.to/whxbh6

And that’s a wrap on Season 8 🤍

The final episode of this season is a gentle, honest conversation with Lorna Anne – Spirit Social creator, medium, healer, and space-holder – about sensitivity, trust, and learning to work with spirit in your own way.

We talk about quiet connection, letting go of rigid rules, finding confidence without forcing it, and creating spaces where people can simply show up as they are. It feels like a fitting place to pause – not with a bang, but with grounding, reflection, and truth.

Season 8 has been about voices, journeys, ethics, growth, and community. I’m proud of what’s been shared here, and grateful to everyone who’s listened, supported, and walked alongside it.

🎧 Episode 15 is out now.

Season 8, complete.

Thank you for being here. 💛

In this episode of Mediumship Matters, I’m joined once again by Annie T, returning Spirit Social creator, Reiki teacher, healer, and developing medium.

Since we last spoke, Annie has moved through a deep period of shedding, burnout, and recalibration – the kind that doesn’t look pretty, but changes everything. We talk honestly about the dark night of the soul, learning to lean into discomfort rather than avoid it, and what happens when growth forces you to set boundaries you didn’t realise you needed.

This conversation explores teaching, healing, evidential mediumship, people-pleasing, self-care, mental health, and why slowing down is sometimes the most responsible thing you can do – especially when others rely on you.

If you’re expanding, unravelling, or trying to find your footing again, this one will feel familiar.

In this episode of Mediumship Matters, I’m joined once again by Jennifer Jeska, who returns to the podcast during a powerful period of transformation.

Since we last spoke, Jennifer has trained as a grief educator, and the impact this has had on her mediumship – and her understanding of sitters – is profound. We talk about why grief isn’t something to be fixed, how spirit works through what we know and understand, and why holding space can be more powerful than delivering endless evidence.

This conversation explores the responsibility mediums carry, the danger of people giving their power away, and how mediumship can evolve when we truly understand what people are facing in their darkest moments.

If you work with grief, sit with grief, or are navigating it yourself, this episode offers honesty, compassion, and perspective.

In this episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah is joined by the wonderful Carmel Mulvanny of Spirit-Led Reiki — a friend, student, and fellow spiritual explorer whose journey is rooted in real-life transformation, deep self-discovery, and a whole lot of heart.

Fresh back from a mind-blowing trip to Egypt, Carmel shares how her winding path — from raising a family and exploring NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to stepping fully into Reiki — has shaped the grounded, practical, spirit-led way she now supports others. Together, they talk about healing as a “coming home” feeling, the power of getting out of your head, and why Reiki often releases emotional blocks long before people realise what they’ve been carrying.

Carmel explains what makes Spirit-Led Reiki different, how she aligns with spirit before a session, and her favourite simple analogies for understanding energy healing (think: tuning into the same radio station). They also explore remote Reiki, the beauty of being open to receiving, and why sometimes the greatest healing is simply giving yourself permission to stop.

✨ Expect warmth, laughter, honesty, and one of the best descriptions of Reiki ever: being “hugged by a warm fluffy cloud.”

In this episode of Mediumship Matters, I’m joined by evidential medium, energy healer and Spirit Social creator Karen L for one of those conversations that quietly gets under your skin.

Karen shares her journey from corporate burnout and chronic illness to choosing mediumship as a conscious path – not a gift she was born with, but a skill she committed to developing. We talk honestly about fibromyalgia, healing the nervous system, ethics in mediumship, and why personal development makes up far more of this work than people realise.

We also explore what mediumship actually feels like when it’s working, how trust replaces fear, why boundaries matter so deeply, and the moment Karen realised: no one is coming to save you – and that’s where the power is.

If you’ve ever wondered whether this path is calling you, questioned your own sensitivity, or needed permission to trust yourself a little more… this one’s for you.

In this episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah is joined by Jackie Murrell — a UK-born medium now living in Australia — for a heartfelt, funny, and deeply validating conversation about sensitivity, self-trust, and the winding path of spiritual development.

Jackie shares how her early exposure to Spiritualism began as a child, quietly tagging along with her aunt and uncle to Spiritualist churches (and happily doing the washing up!), and how those early experiences became the foundations of a lifelong connection to spirit. She talks openly about losing her mum at 15, the complicated nature of grief, and what it’s like when spirit connection doesn’t show up in the way you expect — until it suddenly does in a moment that changes everything.

Together, Hannah and Jackie explore evidential mediumship, spirit guides, and the reality of finding your voice as a sensitive person — including Jackie’s powerful stories of seeing spirit and aura, navigating self-doubt, and stepping (reluctantly!) into teaching when spirit made it clear she was ready. Jackie also shares the beautifully natural way she works with spirit in her classes: trusting what’s needed in the moment, allowing students’ loved ones to step forward, and letting the evidence unfold.

There are plenty of laughs, goosebump moments, and a reminder that what once felt like a weakness can become your greatest strength when you learn to work with it, not against it.

In this vibrant, honest, and inspiring episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah sits down with Fran Willoughby — coach, Reiki healer, medium-in-training, dancer, and all-round Mojo Motivator — for a heart-opening conversation about energy, alignment, and rediscovering your spark.

Fran shares the extraordinary story behind The Mojo Motivator: how loss, creativity, and a lifetime of “giving people energy” led her from musical theatre and corporate life into coaching, healing, and mediumship. With warmth and humour, she talks about finding peace after grief, the importance of truth-telling, and the power of remembering what lights you up.

Together, Hannah and Fran explore what “mojo” really means — not just confidence or motivation, but that deep inner alignment that brings peace and purpose. They discuss trusting intuition, healing through honesty, and learning to surrender to the unknown (with a few laughs along the way). Fran also opens up about her development journey as a medium, the overlap between coaching and energy work, and what’s next for her as she steps further into her spiritual calling.

✨ A joyful, grounded, and empowering chat that reminds us all: you can’t lose your mojo — you just have to remember where you left it.
